How About Ex.Fuehrer .?

How About Ex.Fuehrer!
To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star of August II there was
a letter to the editor headed Those
German Articles" and signed by Fred
A. Bloch
Mr.. Bloch criticizes The Stars use of
der" in reference to Der Fuehrer.
He says that "the German declina-
ton for the words Der Fuehrer goes as
follows: Der Fuehrer, Des Fuehrer, Dem
Fuehrer and Den Fuehrer."
Far be it from me to take issue with
a person who seems to know so much
about the German language when I
myself know so little, but I always
thought it was Der Fuehrer, Des Fueh-
rer, Dem Fuehrer, Den Fuehrer and
Damn Fuehrer"

LAUNCHING 500 N.

The S. S. Sturdy Beggar. named
for an armed cargo vessel OF THIS
state that became famous during
the Revolutionary war, will be
launched at the yard of the North
Carolina Shipbuilding Company
Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
The new CO type vessel will be
sponsored by Miss Gertrude S. Car
-away. well-known New Bern writ
er. Her attendants will be Mrs.
Leon Russell and Mrs: c. l.. Car
ter, both of New Bern.
The vessel is the 147th to near
completion at the local yard.
The original Sturdy Beggar was
owned by John Wright Stanly. OF
New Bern, and played an impor-
tant part in helping win liberty fo-
America more than a century and
half ago. It was an old-fashined
type of ship, similar to many 9TH
ers owned by Stanly, a distinguish
ed patriot Of the Colonial and Rev
dictionary period. 1t was QUILTED
at New Bern with IA carriage guns
and 100 men, including some of the
first Marines within two years aft

Corps.
According to an old newspaper
account, it was considered 1.-The
handsomest vessel ever built in
America, is completely furnished
with all kinds of warlike stores,
Ammunition, etc., is is remarkable
for fast sailing, having never chas-

The vessel participated in num-
Der of Revolutionary sea fights, and
is credited with bringing home two
prizes worth 10000 pounds Sterling,

British ships away from the Caro-
, lima coast.
Whether or not it was this priva-
teer or some other privateer owned
by Stanly which cpatured the Brit

not known. One of his vessels en-
gagged the English ship in sharp
engagement and took from it a
large cannon which is still planted
on a main business corner in New
Bern.
During the Revolutionary war,
Stanly lost IA privateers and is
said to have lent about $4,000 to
help Gen. Nathaniel Greene with
/ his campaigns. When President
George Washington visited New
| Bern in 1871, he was entertained
in the Stanly residence, now pub.

BY REV. P. ]. CAREY
Pastor of Our Lady of Victories Church

Many and various reasons can be offered for church
attendance, but this brief article will be limited to one con-
sideration, viz, the %propriety of giving public homage to
those in authority.
If the President of the United States were to visit Pas
city officials and other representative men would be at
hand to give him a formal and public welcome. This
would be a procedure universally approved. But suppos-
ing public demonstration was omitted on the ground that
interior respect was sufficient, and a public display was
not needed. Such conduct would be considered an out
rage, and all right-minded men IN the land would shower
reproach and condemnation on the offending city.
If men see the propriety and need for citizens to pay
public homage to the ruler of a nation, how much more fit
ting and obligatory is it for intelligent beings to give pubic
Would common sense dictate that an earthly ruler get more
above the Master? But common sense is woefully lacking
where the rights Of God are concerned. Many a one who
would make the welkin ring with thunder of condemnation
of indecorous conduct toward the President will remain
silent and unmoved when half the nation outrages the
majesty OF God by denying Him public worship.
Church attendance is the normal and natural way to
render public homage to God. Edifices dedicated to the
honor and service Of God are the instructive creation of
mankind. Plutarch has said that you will find nations
without walled cities and the necessities for normal living.
but none can be found without temples and shrines. The
pagans scoffed at the early Christians, hooking them be-
cause they had no temples nor public worship. Men there
for naturally build edifices and deed them to God for His
service, for they are convinced of the inadequacy of pri-
Vate worship, and feel that only when associated with
their fellow citizens in public prayer and other religious
acts can they render Him a full and proper demonstration
of honor.
