Friday, May 24, 1918. THE STATE JOURNAL 7 The Week in Raleigh boys are going over rapidly and he is crazy to follow them, his athletic value is such as to give him an indefinite stay in this country. Lieutenant Homewood is a brother of S. L. Homewood, who goes with the bunch of boys now preparing to join the upper classmen in Pittsburgh.

Both Homewoods are fine college boys, fine athletes and will probably land in the same sort of Henry Seawell Carver, aged 41, and a resident of Raleigh many years, was found dead near his lodging place Tuesday morning in Newport News, death apparently being caused by apoplexy. MrCa'rver was brought here after death and an autopsy faile dto show nay signs of foul play. A bruise place on the side of the face indicated a fall near where he was found. The funeral was held from his home on North Person street Thursday morning. Mr.

Carver married Miss Isley, of Burlington, a year ago. The Red Cross campaign of Monday resulted in Raleigh's going over the top, which was $30,000, by more than $2,600. This did not embrace the outside collections which will run the amount near This was many times the best campaign ever conducted in the city. A big parade Monday afternoon and addresses by John McCormack and saturated with the BaptisH, faith. A girl who loses her moorings through the influence of a teacher and in spite of the warm current of Baptist life that flows deep and strong at Meredith, is hardly worth holding.

Furthermore, we would infinitely prefer that our girls should be taught by a Presbyterian who loves the Lord, honors the Sabbath and goes to church, than by a Baptist who plays cards and never darkens a church door! How do you feel about it? Another personal remark may be permitted. Four daughters of this scribe have attended College. If they have been weakened in the Baptist faith by their contact with the teachers in the school who are not of Baptist persuasion, it has not been discovered. Brethren, let us trust the board of trustees who guide the institution, and who stood by it in the dark as well as in the glorious day. We have among us no truer, nobler, more faithful brethren than those to whom we have committed our beloved college.

Suffer one jnore word: Do not accept hearsay" statements about the college, policies and practices. See a member of the board and have a talk with him. The Baptist Darling "Meredith" out much which now is regarded all but fundamental. Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man thgy think will remain, but they are not promising anything more radical than these as a creed. But is there going to be any such sweeping change in our faith? Will the religion of the future require less faith and demand less works than the religion of the present? What is happening "over there" that is to shake up religious society so rudely? Our good ministers preparing those who "have kept the faith" for viot-lent departures in religion do forget that, the world has changed face a great deal between Moses and Christ and between Christ and the present, but the foundations of faith are like Him, "the same yesterday, today and forever." The war may teach us that we have missed the mark, but never that Moses and Jesus did.

It may alter our definitions of religion somewhat; it doubtless will do so. So long have we had the notion that religion is something apart from the ordinary life that we do not hesitate, just as an ancient chronicler did not fail, to divide life in apartments and set off religion wholly detached from them all. One of the early cardinals is thus described by his biographer: "He was covetous, avaricious and malicious, but full of religion." And what did the early chronicle mean? It doubtless meant that this professional religionist conducted mass, heard confessions, granted abr solutions, and gathered the tithes for the church, or if a layman, he went to mass, made his confessions, received the pardon and paid his tenth to the Lord. That done, the religious duties of both were performed. Or, if a Protestant and a Puritan, this individual had correct theological notions, understood the attributes of God, the relationship which God and Jesus Christ sustained toward each other; how Christ saves the world and why the Atonement is man's only hope.

Understanding these things he is religious. Yet another thinks religion is simply an experience; the Christian must have gone through a conviction of sin; he must have sinned greatly and been in despair; he must have (Continued on page iv. i vcluijucii, Buiuicia in me rci- shing expeditionary force Monday evening in the auditorium were heard by 4,000. Mrs. Price in Jail.

AN UNCHANGING FAITH. Mrs. Louise Price, the pardoned, incarcerated, re-pardoned, re-incarcerated woman of money, is back in jail and has decided to serve her time rather than sacrifice her property. She has been in the public eye much lately and is not entirely out now. She.

caused a new opinion from the Supreme Court and gave Judge Calvert something of a judicial boost in telling the court how to determine the issues. Mrs. Price will probably remain quiet a week or so. An Orthodox War Time Sermon by a Blockade Preacher. "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God?" Micah 6:8.

This was the prophet's definition of what a good Hebrew's religion was and a prophecy of what would be vital in Christianity, the order that was to come. But Jewish conformists got far away from the simple but eloquent statement of a great faith by one of the lesser prophets arid one would rarely find so unadorned a declaration of the Christian faith. Already wise ministers are telling their congregations that the religion of the future must undergo a stripping and pruning that will take away so much of it as to leave but a bare similitude. to the faith as now preached. The acid test of war -will -take" (By Archibald Johnson.) On last Sunday the closing exercises of a very prosperous session of Meredith College began.

These commencement occasions are always interesting and large numbers of the friends of the institution from various sections of the State attend. From the 'very beginning this school gripped the hearts of the people of North Carolina, and its growth through the years of its history has been steady and wholesome. It has passed the experimental stage -and is now as firmly established in the affections of our people as is Wake Forest Not all the friends of Meredith College approve the policy of the institution, and they have not hesitated to make known their views both in public and private. Even in our Convention these brethren have spoken out in protest against some of the policies and practices of the authorities. These brethren love the institution, patronize it, and wish it the fullest measure of success; and they are faithful in the criticism they have made." The writer, belonging to the class who fully approve the course that' has been followed, can speak with the more freedom on thi3 matter And he does so with the highest respect for the honored brethren who differ with him.

An earnest protest has been made against the employment of teachers in the school of other denominations. It has been explained again and again that so far as possible this has not been done' by the board of trustees. But in order to maintain the standard of efficiency the college has always held among our Southern schools for women (which by the way is the ery forefront) it is practically impossible always td secure Baptist teachers. All things being equal the board employs Baptists, but when things are unequal they claim the right to go outside the denominational ranks and secure godly teachers of other faiths. We think we have given the position of the board fairly in this estimate.

In the employment of teachers of other faiths the board has been peculiarly fortunate. The women now holding places in the faculty who are not Baptists, are perfectly loyal to the institutionhave striven with all their power to widen its influence and one of them at least, has done more than any Baptist In the faculty to make the influence of the institution felt in the realm of Southern colleges. Having been a patron of the institution for a number of years, the writer may be permitted to record his personal view of the matter. He is not at all opposed to the employment of teachers of other denominations in our Baptist schools. This practice has been followed at Wake Forest for years, and to the vast advantage of the institution.

We are not in the least afraid that we shall lose our girls to other denominations on account of these teachers. The atmosphere of the institution is More A. and E. Boys Train.
