GREAT CHURCH GROUPS CON
DENIM MOB RULE
Southern Baptist Convention and
Methodist Mission Board Voice
Growing Sentiment

Atlanta, Ga Especial to The Broad
Ax)-Strong statements adopted last
month by the Southern Baptist Con-
vention and the Southern Methodist
Board Of Missions are pointed out By
the Commission on Interracial Co
operation as further indication Of the
growing determination Of the South
to eradicate lynching and mob vio-
lence. These bodies represent the two
greates@ denominations in the South,
with an aggregate membership of
about SIX millions. The Baptists in
annual convention in Kansas City
adopted the following:
This Convention has repeatedly
gone on record as unalterably opposed
to all sorts Of mob violence and mob
rule. Perhaps the most vicious and
the most dangerous form Of lawIess-
ness in our present day is found, in the
activity and violence of mobs. We
both pity and condemn Bolshevisn1 in
Russia, and rightly so, while we have
occurrences IN our own fair land which
would chill our blood with horror if
they happened in Russia or in any
other land, however, benighted or
wanting in the essentials Of orderly
government. Mob violence defes all
law, despises every principle and func-
ton of government, and tramples into
the dust every human right. Mob vio-
lence IN the South, in its beginning,
most often occurred against individ-
uals of the Negro race for attacks
upon the sanctity of womanhood. Like
all cancerous evils, it has spread. Iii
is now practised for other offenses.

Negro race. But if the evil had re-

intelligent patriotic citizens.
I'm the recent months mob violence
has become more active and menaeine
perhaps more than at any time pre-
vious, certainly for years. AS if to
make their crime ali the more coward
" and diaboIicaI in many cases the
mobs have concealed their identity and
increased the difficulty Of apprehend-
ing and publishing their members BY
wearing masks. 1t goes without
Saying that no true, intelligent, pa
triotic American can or will give
support or approval to mob vio-
lence whether the mob be masked
or unmasked, much less can our BAp-
list people and preachers think Of SO
doing We cannot but hope that all

WISE WORDS FROM osIER

Sir William OsIer, the noted sur-
geon, in one Of his publications gives
utterance to the following tribute to
medical science and what it has done
for the amelioration Of the sHfferings
of the human race He says
''To man there has been published
triple gospel--of his soul, of his
goods, of his body. Growing with his
growth, preached and protested in a.
hundred different ways in various ages
of the world, these gospels represent
the unceasing purpose Of bis, widening
thoughts.
But the third and greatest glory is
that the leaves Of the tree Of science
have awaited for the healing of ma
tons. Measure as we may the prog
ress of the world-intellectually in the
growth and spread of education, ma
terially in the application OF life to all
mechanical appliances, and morally in
higher standard of ethics between
nation and nation, and between indi-
vidnals-- there is no one measure
which can compare with the decrease
Of disease and suffering in man, wom-
and and child. The psalmist viii have
it that no man may redeem his broth
err, but this redemption of his body
has been bought at price of the lives
of those who have sought out natures
processes by studying and experiment.
Silent workers, often unknown and
neglected by their generation, these
men have kept alive the fires on the
affairs Of science, and have 80 opened
the doors Of knowledge that we now
know the laws OF health and disease
just because you are up and going
about your daily work is no certain
sign that your health is good. A care
ful physical examination By physi-
clan might show ailments that call for
medical treatment without delay.
When community is fy ridden and
mosquito posted, the people Of that
community are alone to blame.
Good air is life. Do you get good

good as country air and yet outdoor

In the depth Of gloom even the
Wild folk-usually keeping so close
q watch on those that move on
the shadowed trails-did not see
Linda and Bruce ride past.
The darkness Is usually their time
Of dominance, but tonight most Of
them had yielded to the storm and the
snow. They lowered in their coverts.
What movement there was among
them was mostly toward the foothills;
for the message had gone forth over
the wilderness that the cold had come
60 stay. The little gnawing folk,
emerging for another nights work at
filling their larders with food, crept
down into the scarcely less impene-
trable darkness Of their underground
burrows. Even the bears, whose furry
coats were impervious to any ordinary
cold, felt the beginnings of the cold
trance creeping over them. They
were remembering the security and
warmth Of their last winters dens, and
they began to long for them again.
The horse walked slowly, head near
the ground. The girl made no effort
to guide him. The lightning had all
but ceased; and IN an instant It had
become apparent that only by trust
ing to the animals instinct could the
trail be kept at all; almost at once
all sense Of direction was lost to them.
The snow and the darkness obscured
the outline Of the ridges against the
sky; the trail was wholly invisible
beneath them.
After the first hundred yards they
had no way of knowing that the horse
was actually on the trail. While AMI
mails in the light of day cannot see
nearly 90 far or interpret nearly 90
clearly as human beings, they usually
seem to make their way much better

Bruce walked over to Linda, wait
ing in the snow on her knees. 1t was
not an intentional posture. She had
been jerked down by the plunglng
horse, and she had not yet complete
ly risen. But the sight of her slight
figure, her raised white face, her
clasped hands, and the remorseless
snow of the wilderness about her
moved Bruce to his depths.
He saw her but dlmly in the snow
fiurries, and she looked as II she were
in an attitude Of prayer.
He came rather slowly, and he even
smiled little. And she gave him a
wan, strange little smile in return.
"We're down to cases at last" he
said, with rather startling quiet
ness Of tone. "You see what 1t
meansT
She nodded, then got to her feet.
1--WE can walk out, II we are let
alone and given time; It isn't that
we are obliged to have the horse. But
our blankets are on its back, and this
storm Is steadily becoming blizzard.

we don't have. No human being cam

"And we can't keep going-keep

His answer was to take out his
knife and put the point of the steel to
his thumb nail. His eyes strained,
then looked up. "A little way" he an
