'‘OMMENTS
ON
HERE and
c hereafter.
Rev. M. A. Hopkins, native
Tennessean who is working as »
missionary under the Southern
Presbyterian Board in China and
who is professor of Biblical
Theology at the North China
Theological Seminary located at
Tengbuen Shantung, China, ad
dressed the students and faculty
at the Bob Jones College recently.
He gave as the aim of the North
China Theological Seminary.
“The Bible—undiluted, un-
dimihished, and undiscred-
ited—for China.
The Bible—before all human
philosophies and specula
lions and social panaceas—
for China.
The Bible—with its own sever
ign emphasis on what the
living God deems essential
—for China.
The Bible—the handbook of the
super natural and the search
light of all superstitions—
for China.
The Bible—the basis and cap
stone of all education from
kindergarten to university
—for China.
The Bible—the divine spring of
all true prayer r , whether
individual, social, or national
—for China.
The Bible—the orginal and utter
ly leliable source book of
knowiege-ahtaA LardV
Chrjst—for China.”
It is a great joy to the writer
to know that the North China
Theological Seminary stands in
the very heart of China uncom
promisingly for the authority of
the Bible and the gospel message.
Our information is that this in
stitution is doing a wonderful
work. The Christian people of
this nation who believe in the old
time religion should give their
money for the carrying on of an
orthodox missionary program in
foreign lands. Modernism has
done enough harm in this coun
try. It has emptied our churches
and made atheists out of many
boys and girls who have attended
colleges, and it has been responsi
ble for the behavisorism which
has produced so much moral
looseness. As far as the writer is
concerned, he refuses to contri
bule any of his money for a
modernistic missionary program
at home or aboard.
Georgia Land
■
(By Lila Hartley, fifth grade)
Georgia land, Georgia land,
For thee I stand,
Where I was born and where I
roam Georgia land is my
home!
Georgia land, I love so well,
Where all my friends and people
dwell.
Georgia’s hills and valleys sweet,
It all seems to me complete.
I love to roam the woods and
fields,
And think of what old Georgia ■
yields,
The corn, cotton, the melons
sweet,
And lots of good things I like to
eat.
Georgia land the laud of the free,
Where people have their liberty,
Where the birds sing sweetly in
the spring.
I wouldn’t leave Georgia for
anything.

BRUNO IS FOUND GUILTY
WITHOUT ASKING MERCY
Flemington. N. J., Feb. 13.—
Bruno Richard Hauptman was
convicted to night of America’s
most clossal crime, and he must
forfeit his life in the electric
chair for his murder of Baby
Charles A. Lindburg, Jr.
Hauptman will be executed
March 18.
A jury that had searched for a
verdict since 11:15 a. m. filed in
to the courthouse at 10:44 o’clock
tonight and returned a verdict of
“guilty as charged in the indict
ment.”
That verdict solved for all time,
so far as the state of New Jersey
's concerned, the riddle of the
Lindbergh crime. For the indie
ment charges that Hauptmann
alone planned and executed the
kidnaping that occurred almost
three years ago on the slope of
Sourland Mountain.
Ihe court room was electric
with tension as the jury, led by
its scholarly foreman, Charles
Walton, filed into the box. Haupt
mann was sitting in the same
seat he has occupied since the
trial started, handcuffed to his
guards.
Edward J. Rilliy, chief defense
council, announced immediately
he would appeal “to the highest
court in the land.”
Colonel. Charles A. Lindbergh,
who has attended every session
of the trial, was absent tonight.
Lloyd Fell, the court clerkj
stood up at his table in front of
the bench and asked:
Jurors, have you reached a
verdict?”
“We have,said Walton, holding
a slip of paper in his hand.
Now say ye, guiltp or not
guilty?”
Dead silence spread through
the room and then Walton’s
voice cut above it, clear and loud.
“We find the defendant, Bruno
Richard Hauptmann guilty of
murder in the first degree.
Not a muscle in the prisoner’s
body quivered as he heard the
words that doomed him. Color
crep up his neck and into his
cheeks until his face was a flam
ing red.
Attorney General David T.
Wilentz moved toward the judge’s
bench.
Your honor,” he said. I move
for an immediate sentencing of
the prisoner.”
In a voice that shook with emo
tion, Justice Thomas Trenchard
leaned over the bench and said:
“It is the duty of the court to
impose the sentence of death on
this defendant within the week
beginning March 18, 1935,”
It was all over in ten minutes.
