FIRST LECTURE In
BIBLE SERIES HERE

The Rev. Mortimer Glover, rect
or of st. James Episcopal church,
delivered the first of a series of
five lectures sponsored by the
YMCA in the Sorosis clubrooms
here last night.
The text of Rev. Glover's talk
vas "The Bible as Literature"
He brought out the different forms
of writing in the bible and gave
a brief outline of each type. He
also read several passages from
the bible in dramatic form.
He was introduced by Miss Vir-
ginia Ward. Over 80 persons at
tended the lecture.

seeking a haven there.
"The weak state Of his health
and the dangerous condition OF his
wound, strengthened this con-
lecture" Tryon wrote.
It was mot probable that ne
should undertake a long voyage
Tryon reasoned in his letter to the
Governor of Virginia. However
despite this rather sane conjecture
on the part of a major character
in our little drama, later historl-
ans contend that whoever lived
through the ordeal escaped to
England. The historians you'll re-
call are not in agreement on who
killed who.

That part of the report was sign
ed by Blalock, Senator Joe L
Blythe of Mecklenurg; Rep. Fred
Register of Vance; and V. B. Hig-
gins and Edwin L. Jones of Char
lotte, both contractors.
In the event the legislature does
not approve a new capitol, these
steps were approved by Blalock.
Higgins and Jones: A suitable
building be erected for a state
art gallery and hall of history; a
legislative hall be added for each
branch, one OH Fayetteville street
and the other on Halifax street:
and a building be erected to face
the capitol to house the state

This committee, DR.. Rankin
said, reported that the lack of
doctors in North Carolina ''does
not seem to be related to the lack
of a four-year medical school,
and that the problem of mal-dis-
tribution of doctors would not be
solved by creating more medical
schools.
DR.. Rankin also read a report
of the American Medical associa-
ton which commended that there
was Redistribution rather than a
shortage of doctors. Doctors will
go to rural areas when hospitals
and health centers are built in
which they can practice.
To which Maj. l.. P. McLendon
of Greensboro, a member of the
board of trustees Of the Univer-
sity, said, 81 do not know about
the figures which DR.. Rankin had
quoted from the American Medi-
cal society which point to no need
for doctors, but I do know that
this group was convicted in the
federal courts, of being a mono
poly. 1 also know that you only
have to ask the man in the street
the farmer, the teacher, the mill
worker. or anybody in this state
about the shortage of doctors
they will give you the answer that
there is"
Josephus Daniels of Raleigh told
the committee that the Dem
ocratic party had Endorsed the
Medical Care program in its plat
form last year, and eff we violate
this pledge we admit ourselves un-
worthy of the great place give
the Democratic party in North
Carolina"
DR.. I. G. Greer of Thomasville,
president of the N. C. Good Health
Association, said that the COM
mittee members by their 'vote
will determine whether children

But adulation turned the Kings
head, Pride came to mean more

an Oriental despot, harnessing the

Solomon was a despotic tyrant
and nothing but his intellectual
brilliance, the power of his stand

which awed his own people as well
as the world, saved him from heavy
punishment for his misdeeds. But
the son and the sons son unto re-

the vanity of this king who put per-

He married many wives and took
over their heather religions, so that
the land was filled with idols. He
believed in the merging of religions.
