PHr* *' "" jp V- ^ SIX _ News From Clarendon. To T^e "Leader: On August 8th and 9th there was an Educational rally at Antioch U. ~ M, .E, Church, Riming S. C.>r in interest of our school at Southern Pines,! N. C. The program was as follows: '{ " On August 8t,h, 8 p. m. a very inter est i ngprogramwasj^jid^ed_hxJ^l cal talent, conducted.by Misses^Rosa. Lee Cain and Amy Strong. On Sun? dav a. rn., A"gn*t Qth| ^ form; day School as usual conducted by Mr. S. A. James-and-Rov. James Thomas. . Aiter the discussion of the lesson an address was delivered bv Prof. A. W. Kershaw, Principal of our~achool at~ Southern Pines, N. C. One of the many things that he said was that we will'have to lOarn to respect leadership. At 11 o'clock Rev. P. H. R.' _j Martin-delivered an inspiring sermon" from Acts 5th ehapler,. 88th -verse: "For if thjs counsel or .this Work be of- men it will cpuifi. to . liduglit."?At" three o'clock Sunday p i iva -favored with an address hy Attorney Esau A. Parker, thir subject beings "Mind is the^measure of the man, not, r-? tilt! color of the skin, nor the tex-j ture of the hair." ' _?? , About two years ago, I., met Prof.! ' Parker. yb" hi.- i . ahmji University, where at that time he was; teaching. In a conversation with him he made a lasting impression upon me. On July 19th, the Joint Stock Company had its annual assemblage at Antioch R. U. M. K. Church, at whirh time and place I proached the annual ] sermon. On this occasion ^rbf. Par-] . ker was present and adrdressed the i. : Sunday?School.?At this?time?he -r? made ^- .greater im pression upon^ jjie. by -his * remarkK After his speech T* Mr. B. J. McKnight, -one of Rimini's leading citizens spoke very highly of him and of the splendid service which he^had rendered during his stay a,t Allen University, of which College, - Mr. MoK-mffht-is a tiusloe. Ml'. Me-' Iifnight declared that as an Attorney 7 we should' Tiee|ial^i.~busUy engaged which would be an indication of our . appreciation fur Ills attainments. After the ceremonies of the day had ended I asked Attorney Parker-to de-, ? liver an address atrmy church on the Sunday of our rally. To this request he consented. On August 9th at the hour set for his address he was there. As Pastor and Master of CercmonieST" I presented him._ In his preliminary remarks, He de?l..*u... i ?i . I liiul it \\ci>* a. ruai pleasure to be with us on such an occasion. "Being a member of a different dertOTHina-' " tlon," said he " makes no differeneewith me, for we arc all serving the * same great God.'v ire discussed thelife of TLUi.s, Emperor of Rome, and with words/that were..indeed -forceful,J.. he showed that such a life was wor- ; thy of emulation. He th? noern: "l.trt mf' live"in tho hinwo bv the side of the road and be a friend - tu man;" tnld of Its origin and de-' == ? elared that there would be imich more nappiness in this lire if all of ulTprac-ticed the things that stirred the bbs^" om of the author, 5Sam Walter Foss and caused him to write that poem.^ took as his -subject the one before b .mentioned. The Mowing is a biief" ^tract-unHs-speccirr " : "Somewhere, tn?sonic mysterious Way, at sorho 1 ihn~~mjrhnm;. tiuintil-lions of years ago, or perhaps so long . , a time ago that the period of time is incapable of enumeration, the great all creating God created this world. I * ' tossed it, dropped it- or some how. * *? ?V pieced it in space. How many more we know not. Scientists' and astronomers express the belief that there are many other worlds, and I htink like they do; lor i cannot believe that the great Master Builder ereated~oTnr little world like the one in which we live and created, no more. I believe like the scientists and astronomers that those celectial bodies to whioh the names, Mercury, Mar>, Venus, Nep? tui^-and^mt.prjtrfl "'Tflllg and that there are still others invisible to the natural eyes. For there is n6"limit to space. All of this vast ? mess of creation tells iim that God Is a God -of?wisdom, Hence, the mtortr knowledge a man has the better imitation he is of his God ? . After God had created this world and pefhaps others He created a mysterious being which He, called man. ' ' 1 what is it that "makes him mysterious? Is itvhislTzcT lsJtThis physical strength 2.__No.._ For tho-lion and ? * the elephant and'The" hippopotamus ^ and the rhinoceros and the horse and .many- other animals,.are-larger. -And. stronger than man, yet man subdues them all. What is it then that makes man mysterious and gives him the mastery over such large and powerful animals? It is the mind of man . ^ I like that passage of scripture which tells -ua- that God dbid: "Let us- make man in our own image." & TvTAf. tnfciq image in -nhvsiral annear ance, but in authority and power. When we behold the various inventions and think of the many accomplishments o{ man since civilization had its birth in Egypt,~we cannot doubt ( s the authenticity of that passage of, r4 ^ ,vthe scripture. He has harnesied, steam and makes itiratt hts trains j <?arryi*&+ height, mail and passen-1 n gers; he, has harnessed one of the a most mysterious forces of nature, r electricity, and makes it convey his'r messages, light hie cities and pull ^ r his. streei cars. He has harnessed.the! p wind and like a bird he speeds through I the air. With the invention known r as the radio, which is.indeed myster- h ious he hunds his songs, sermons^ 1 speeches and music to the ail* in New t York City and says to the air take i; JLhem to the inhabitants of San cisco and this command is obeyed. li As marvelous as these inventions h seem to be,-coming centuries will Ush- d er in other inventions that will make our present inventions look like child's's play. For as Mr. Welsh puts it: " "By the same divine law of evolution y we too, in turn shall be outstripped, y Our boundary is movable and elastic, L around any -circle another fn&y be 1 drawn. Each end is^a beginning and--s must be superseded by a better.
