Judge j. c Horn OF Lamar spoke
on What Officials can do" Il do
not know what justice is,'' he said,
but | know 1t is divine attribute.
1t does not belong to mankind, yet.
ing for IL we find it our Joy.
Perhaps it is the greatest good to
the greatest number. Justice
means the right adjustment OF
human processes so that what
ought to be done and produced
shall be achieved" The Judge dep
recated the many eases OF divorce in
our county courts and laid it at the
door of ''nagging'' women and
"grouchy' men. Under conditions
existing in homes dominated by
such fathers and mothers children
learn contempt for law. He also
arraigned the modern Sunday School
for It's poor instruction and lack of
efficiency and reverence for-the
house of God. Here again is law
lessness fostered The public school
aiso came In for It's share of.
blame for contempt for law. Our
SCHOOLS minister to the mental and
physical needs but have nothing for
the moral life OF the child or for
his sniritual help. Our young peo'
pl3 should learn to be men and
women and not simply memorize
the stuff in the text books.
1T Is the duty of officials to en-
force the law and encourage Justice.
THE offender should be aided to get
back on his feet again but there
Should be no compromise in adj
ministering justice He illustrated
this in the ease Of SOME boys ar
rested for theft.

Mrs Winona Jewell showed what
The Young people are doing and can
do. It was the young people in the
days of the Crusade and In modern
time, that furnish inspiration to
the movement. They are to be the
leaders Of tomorrow. She plead for

both. After singing by the Mems
Double Quartette Mrs Kenan re-
