Burlington.
The Greensboro Daily News itself
said editorially:
"There was tut need for the evau
gelist. the Kev. M. F. Ham, to de
clare to the state that "1 am intoler
ant. I aui dogmatic." That infor
mation tells North Carolina nothing;
it did uot know before. If the.
knowledge had not been general
previously, it would have been
gained by reading Mr. llam's words
to the Baraca-l'hitathea meeting, j
"His denunciation of W. ().
Saunders is entirely beside the
point Mr. Saunders made. The;
11 nest ion in that controversy was;
one of fact. The evangelist lnadej
cerfain statements which the editor
sought to disprove. They were notj
primarily on religious matters but
on the contrary dealt with the mo
tives of a citizen of Chicago, and
on that issue the editor brought i
forward certain evidence which un
questionably carried weight. But
the answer to the editor now is
calling him "one of the crankest of
inttdels" and reciting certain charges
against him. precisely in the man
ner of a boy of 12 saying. "You're
another." Nor will it be convinc
ing to the state to hear the evan
gelist declare that "all the modern
ism which is twins propagated in
your public schools today corn s
right from Itussia and from der
ma ?y." and that "the campaign"
ajninst the Tennessee anti-evolu
tion law "is Ileitis waged from Kus
sia." such statements as that neces
sarily weaken much else that Mr.
Ham does say. Besides, somebody
like Mr. Saunders might clunk up
ou him attain.
"There is a tine field for genu-.
iue evangelism and it ought to ln? ?
occupied. But we question wheth
er boasting of bigotry does much to
further the kingdom of God."
t'harity and Children. Baptist
weekly, commented thnsly:
"Mr. 11am was unfortunate in;
boasting of his ititoleratiee in his
Raleigh s|ieeeh. I if course every
one knew that it was true la-fore he
said it. but it is nothing to brag
about."
HI RT IN COLLI SION
A collision at tho*hridge across;
rerquiiuans river between two Ford
touring cars, one driven by K. P.
Matthews, of llert/brd Route Three,
the other by Miss Bertha Chappell.

to the Klizubeth City folks.
Then Mr. Kramer spoke. Then!

And then there was the end of the:
Elizabeth City affair. Mr. Ham i

Denies Kinship to Monkey.
One great burst of applause mark
ed the meeting and Judge Brooks
provoked it. He opened his re
marks with the statement that the
o.OOO people present did not spring
from monkeys. That one thing
evoked a demonstration surpassing
any of the testimony to the Omni
potent Mr. 11am represented.
This evolution business the Pro
phet said when it came his time to
take over the meeting, is nothing!
hut* an effort on the part of some
folks to defend their friends, who
are teaching the damnable stuff,
and defend them at any costs.
And here, again, he revealed his
smartness.
"Jesus Christ was crucified by
the learned sadduces and aristo
crats of his day." the Prophet said.
It was up to the followers of the
Prophet to carry on.
The old Sadducees had said thatj
no man believes on him except the
unlettered rabble. The Modernists
and the old Sadducees are so much
alike as two peas in a pod. Possi
bly the Prophet did not mean to
arouse any prejudices.
"You can go to college." he said,
"and get a car load of these preach
ers who are trying to defend evo-|
lotion and then get some uneduca
ted preachers from the smnll towns
(Mr. Ham is a degree holder him
self, according to report) and the
uneducated man wil get a hundred
converts while the others are get
ting one.
"It isn't long." Mr. Ham said,
"before Jesus is coming to give
endorsement to all we (the plural
number, always) have preached
and answer every intidcl theory of
to-day."
.Making $50,000 A Year.
Free will offerings, according to j
a reputable minister in the State j
who lias followed the Ham wave,
which the Prophet has received will,
total, for a period of twelve months,
from $5o.ooo to $75.ooo.
His investments, according to a j
prominent insurance Win who in
terviewed him when be went to
Goldsboro, are in short term en
dowment insurance policies.
