It’s a shame the way folks like to
.run dow'ji pr'de. It simply doesn’t get
a square deal. To hear folks talk you'd
think that pride could n'bt possibly be
anything but the root of all evil and a
very large, ugly blot on the ’scutch

the wrong kind of pride—is nn ugly

that leads to ambition and nearly vv-

is scraped away, one mu.st u.Hiially

veneer that is put on for appearain e.s.
There are few people who ha'o a gen
uine an<l deep-.seuted desire to serve
and his own ability as a mouth-piece.
Pride has come into disrepute be
cause it is not property used, in itself
it is a source of great good. The dan

Without Action On Merger With
Northern Church.
New Orleans, La., May 17.— The
.Southern Baptists tonight adjourned
their annual convention here under a
definite stand fo' war for a dry na
tion, to fight for defeat of any po
litical candidate who does not frank
ly advocate the present prohibition
laws, an^ with silence over the move
ment to amalgamate with the North
ern Baptist convention,',
■ Two of the last 4£cts were a reqi^ett
to the churches' to provide a bud^fet
for the denominational state papers
to solidify their position in the church
and an appeal to the churches to ush
er in an “old-time Baptist spiritual
evangelism fo preach the doctrin,* of
sin snd salvation and reclaim the
backslidden churcbes.” ’
The evangelistic campaign was or-
ganifod after the convention complet
ed the suggestion of J. H. Anderson
of Knoxville, Tenn., lay leader for the
.Soufo, that the “soul-saving rsm-
paigh” be ffnanc^ privately without
burdening the convention’s financial
budget of 13,000,000 further “at this
critical moment,”
“Those intellectual, or hand-pflcke<l,
or gumshoe evangelisms in which
some are trying to reflect upon our
ma.ss or church revivals,” declared Dr,
Lcn G. Broughton, of the Baptist Tab-
emacle, Atlanta, who is chairman of
the committee on evangelism, “we will
op))()se. They are ngaihst our old Bap
tist cu.sti.ni of biblical r’evival.s.”

Pride is the root of all competiition. i ciple. The manufacturer says, “push
and convpetition, in turn, is the root
of most of the progress in the world.
As long as a single concern has a
“comer” on any one product, it is rea
sonable to exjieot that the product
will be furnished the public .at the
highest possible price with the low
est possible value. Supply competi
tion,, on the other hand, and quality
becomes the deciding factor. A beau
tiful car is a source of pride to the
owner—an unsightly one is a source
of anything but pride. The manufac-
turer realizes this Itnd competes with
his rivals to supply the most beauti
ful and the most lasting value at a
price that is within the reach pf all.
This is true as applied to other
fields than the commercial. A true ar-
riet is proud of his name and proud
of his hrt. He wall not put hit name
to inferior work, even if it it possible
to get away, with it. Unless It meas-
■ree up to the fullest of his gemut
and Us capacities, he prefers to see it
destroyed rather tl^n sent forth bear
ing the stamp of his name. Nor will a
preacher who is Aruly proud of ^e

be content with well enough. Instead,

look.s good for the "manufoeturer^-^f
course it does. Everyone raises his
tariff, all the manufacturers are hap
py, and the public finds the cost of
living going up.
It would all be very nice and sweet
and coxy for these United States if
we could get away with it—but we
can’t. Canada has already done her bit
and other nations, we understand, are
getting ready. If they haven't already
prepared to reUliate, it erill simply be
a mattdr of a few montha until they
do. As a rsauH which even the moat
