fair promise of success for today.

SAYS CHRISTIANS
BEST LITERATURE
Christ Judged by His In
tluence in Lives of His
Followers Here

Speaking for the second time in the
revival services in progress at the
FIRST Baptist church, DR.. A. B. Con-
rad of High Point declared last night
that "Christians are the worlds best
literature."
Taking his text from the words of
the Apostle Paul, when he said. eye
are living epistles known and read of
all men," the visiting minister re-
minded the congregation that Chris
tlans are subjects of constant scru-
tiny-and rightly So That's what
epistles are for" said he, ''to be read"
"Christians therefore, become a
kind of daily mail, doing business
for Christ"
LAS the doctor is judged by his
cures and the artist by his canvas, so
Christ is judged by what He does to
human character"
DR.. Conrad related the story of
Stanley's search for Livingstone in
Africa, telling how when Stanley
found him, he declared, after spend
ing few days with Livingstone: "I
had to leave Livingstone or become
Christian"
The services begin promptly each
evening at o'clock and the public is
invited
Thursday evening will be Baraca
night and the Mems Bible class of the
First Baptist church is inviting the
men of the city to join them IN this
service. Reserved seats will be pro-
vided for this group of men.

France was hailed by Norman II.
Davis. head of the American delega-
ton, as the fundation of a new struc-
ture for world fleet limitation.
His address at the signing cere-
mony in London, made public here
bv the State Department, contained
an open invitation to Japan and Italy
to adhere to the pacts.
Voicing the American governments
disappointment that the new lnstru-
nnent does not provide for limitation
of actual fleet strength, but restricts
only the size of certain types Of ships
and guns, Davis warned of the posi-
bilities of a costly building race If
goodwill is not observed by the pow
erS.
"The instrument we are about to
sign" he said, falls short of our best
hopes, in that it makes no provisions
for ouantitative reduction and limita-
ton. This the American government
and delegates deeply regret.
He found some justification for
this. however, in present disturbed in
ternational conditions.
Referring to the actions of Japan,
in terminating the Washington and
London naval treaties, effective this
wear, and then withdrawing from the
present London conference when it's
demands for naval equality were re-
fused Davis said:
"The structure of naval limitation
by agreement built up by the Wash
ington and London treaties was bad
ly damaged when it was found i'm
possible to carry on these treaties.

The reason for the contention in
Democratic circles that the Rep,nb-
lican State invention indorse the plat
form of Mcdonald, is because of the
similarity of the COP State platform
and that of the Winston-Salem college
professor. The Republican platform,
boiled, down, declares as follows:
Against the present and past Dem
ocratic state administrations.
Against the sales tax.
Against President Roosevelt and
the New Deal"
Against the present county liquor

For the continuation of state pro-

For higher pay for school teachers
and more money for schools.
For 81 automobile license tags
For old age pensions.
For the rights of labor to organize

For a reduction in the salaries Of

The Mcdonald platform, boiled
down, is about as follows:
Against the present and past Dem
ocratic administrations.
Against the sales tax.
For President Roosevelt and the

Concommital on the present county
system of liquor stores.
Willing to submit the liquor issue to
a vote of the people.
For higher pay for school teachers.
For SIS automobile license tags.
For old age pensions. For rights

"PussyfOOting"
The very brief plank adopted with
regard to prohibition is regarded by
many as being one of the neatest jobs
of pussyfooting and side-stepping ever
seen in a political convention and as
having resulted from political neces-
sity rather than from any deep-rooted
belief in it's wording. A great many
of those attending the convention
agreed that prohibition has been a
failure in North Carolina, but that In
many counties it was necessary for
