i By REV. I)R. |OI IN IC. whit E. I Pa h tor Second BnptiHt Church I MMEDIATELY at hand for South- I era men la the necessity of choos- * Ing between two sets of leaders The negroes are also facing the same proposition with regards to their lead ers. On one side are those who ear nestly and for the most part sincere ly encourage and promote devotion to the negro Issue. On the other, those who lead away from that and encour age and promote devotion to other In terests. The two policies are at a mint. My plea to Southern young men U that you will tnke a Arm stand with those who lead away from the negro question to the strengthening concerns qf Southern life. And let the stand be firm. You will be assailed and Irri tated. by prejudices on one hand and the provoking folly of the negroes on the other, but let your patriotism be sufficient for these things. Separating from the confusion, let «s choose those lines of leadership which, If honored and followed, will lead the South to a noble future. And you will take note that they represent the ideals and the spirit, ns well as the habit of the good days when the Southern people were powerful In In fluence. The Industrial leader, the educational trader and the religious lender are the three who must lead ua out of that which is false Into that which Is true in our Southern life—business man, teacher and preacher. The Business Man. 1 placfe the business mnn-the Indus trial leader—fore in'»st In the rank, be muse he has at his command the readiest motive, and Is least influenced by the discouragement of reactionary farces. Industrialism Is primarily the basis of organized society. In his address on the “Economic Interpretation of History," Professor HHIgman, *-f t*«>- iumbla university, says: • With every Improvement in the ma terial 'condition of the great mass of the population, there will be an oppor tunity for the unfolding of the higher ! Hf'-. but n*«t nil'll "Humic conditions of society become far more Ideal will the ethical development of the Individual have a free field for lim itless progress. “The ethical Ideals of society which can alone bring about any lasting ad vance In civilization have been erect ed on and rendered possible by the solid foundations of material prosper ity.” The activity of Industrial leaders and the prominence of Industrial forces have a much more Important relation to patriotism than the super ficial critic allows. Immediately, the surest deliverance of Southern thought from unhealthy to healthy self-con sciousness in being promoted by the men who are pointing the way to In dustrial development. They are hav ing effect directly at those points of weakness suggested by the friendly critic I have mentioned. Their mes sage Is, “Get too busy to mind criti cism. Don't apologize; don't explain. Get things done. Let them howl!” The centers of Industrial life which dot the Southern landscape Increasing ly are centers of Independence in thought, quite the despair of all sorts of demagoguery. The work they are doing In the very nature of the case overcome* Isolation and cures provin cialism. They are concerning the pub lic mind with the world relations of self Interest. They are Introducing the South to the world and the world to the South. They are diverting atten tion to strength-producing Interests. They are creating a sound basis for Southern pride. They are giving Southern men a reason for the faith that Is In them. They are teaching ua to say the South Is the beat—not Just because she Is the best—but because she has the best soil, advantages, re- snurces, opiMu-tunitlPS f"i in.l arhi.-w- ment, and the happiest lives and homes, and a people equal to their tasks. I am an Idealist. I abhor the boasts of sordid commercialism. But the man who has Imagination, who Is charac teristically Southern In temperament, can find a feast for the soul In con templation of a heroic Industrialism especially If he will see far enough to note that It Is one of the mighty agen cies for our Intellectual and moral free- d' *in The boy u ho used to lMrn to his father tell the story of the struggle of the civil war with burning cheeks, | sorrowing on his pillow that be bad not been born earlier to share such glory. If he will look about, will find | the battle at his hand. No greater mistake can be made, as has been so often and ho well urged by Richard I Edmonds, whom 1 honor as a true ; Southern leader, than to bold that In dustrialism Is at war with the histori cal Ideals. The old South made as ! much of her Industrial opportunities as the new South has done w Ith hers. Hefore the break came In her prog ress. ihe sun of Industrial advance was i well up In the heaven*. The men of liberty days honored the fact that In dustry was basal In the new republic. They were themselves far from being as sometimes pictured, the devotees of lordly leisure. George Washington’s brother and George Washington's fath er were engaged In Iron mining. He was himself a civil engineer by pro fession. Thomas Jefferson was In the business of manufacturing nails. The battle field of King's Mountain Is not far away from mines and bloomerles a hundred and fifty years old. Tha School Taachor. Equally as distinct In the leadership of the South to her great future ts the group of men who are Identified with education, under denominational, state and Individual auspices. They have seen the vision and are leading In a true path to better things. The Southern teacher In some respects Is the loneliest of patriots. Hr has had to live by faith. His rewards In practi cal effect on the body politic are not Immediate. He must sow In tears, and he knows that he must wait patlentl); for the harvest. If. Indeed. It ever romes In his lifetime. At first, there was no recognition of the teacher ns n public man. The school president haa evolved a new statesmanship, and the South has no asset rising In value and In power faster than the educational lead* Jr. Here again the true Ideal of the South rises to view against the false. Thomas Jefferson was never more within what w*ns native to and con cordant with Southern character than when ns n corollary of his democracy he preached for education and planned according to his creed and educational system for Virginia. It was Jefferson's | REV. OR. JOHN E. WHITE. thought though uttered by another that Ignorance In a republic was a jxiltticat crime; that liberty was a dangerous thing; that a free people must b«- a thoughtful people. In that thought Is represented what Is fundamental In the present leader ship of education In the South. It Is a gosepl that never fall© to convict the const lence* though It may not nlwnys convert the prejudices of our people. Jeffersonian Democracy Is what the 8outh wonts, only It must be what Jef fersonian Democracy was—a civiliza tion no more enslaved by Its own pre judices than by the prejudices of ty rants—a state of society In which the citizen oxcrctsca Ills highest liberty; the liberty to think without threat and to act without a caucus force to de fine his limits of freedom. We are not far from the secret of many troubles J In the South when our educational census la displayed. We are not l^r ! from the hopefullest sign of the times , when collego presidents and teachers assert their offices ns function* of . statecraft. The words of tho school teacher who lay dying u ne pi »ph«Mir , «»f a new order now b<*ing realized In the South. He said, “When I am dead | put a sword on my coffin. For I was a soldier In the war against Ignorance." j I’nder that order Southern people will , preservo and perpetuate their best tra dition* t’ndoi that order they wlli ba i led to take counsel not from that which |i©pr©*©nts thrli f«>m*. bin from that 1 which represents their force. The Preacher. i Less distinct, perhaps, but more per- j vaslve and commanding a vital posi tion with reference to the true life of j the South are those who atand for the Christian principle, the religious Ideal. The leadership of the religious teacher and preacher In the South Is Indispen sable to the Industries and educational force*. Harmonious progress ts Impos sible hero without him. He It nearest ) to the conscience of the people and he stands tor an Idea and philosophy of life underlying the whole fabric of so ciety. An alliance of leadership be- | tween hint and those who represent the Industrial and educational movements I hnve referred to would present an fr- resUtablt* front against tin* II.Inge which are falso and for the things which are true In Southern life. Benjamin Franklin was not In any MW a religious partisan, but he was wise enough to recognize the religious Idea. 1n tho foundation of the republic. He snld that the new constitution would crumble unless It nos the re sult of divine counsel and he called upon his colleagues In the Philadelphia convention (•> baptize It In prayer.

The politician has «-n iiie greatest popular hero, but the preacher haa had much the greater Influence. For a century he wan by far our greatc st man—the man of the largest original power and of the strongest character." The preacher has lost his public I>ower to a great degree In the com mon chaos of Southern unsettlement. He Is himself in part to blame because he has been afraid to assert his heri tage from his apostolic ancestry. But the reason of his fear had Its grounds. The politicians*of our sorrowful period have resented his approach to public Influence and the Idea has been sue ccssfully grafted oo to Southern pub lic opinion that the field of politics la worldly or of tha devil; therefore, the prcncher must keep well out of touch with It.

In the vestibule of the capitol of Georgia Is the statue of Benjamin Hill, and In the marble are cut theso words. "He who saves his country saves all things, and all things snved shall bless him. Who lets his country die lets all things die and all things dying cures him.” I have pondered that Incom parable definition of patriotism. It was written by a Southerner and with*ref erence to the South In his “Notes on the Situation." printed In 1868. There Is no saving of one’a country so that all things arc saved If the religious principle la omitted from the founda tions.

REVERENCE AND PROGRESS By REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD, Patttor Universalist Cliurcli I N our youth, we were frequently regaled by the fascinating tale of the frantic old lad)*, who, with her puny strength, unceasingly plied her broom In an atenipt to sweep back the oncoming sea. The history of the rise of tha human race from mental Inferiority, craae ignorance and primitive superstition, to Its present boasted degree of Intel lectual freedom and spiritual power, records the constant presence of the obstructionist, with his Increasingly pitiful and futile attempt to hold back the oncoming tide of the eternal truth of God. - - • And still is. the theological old lady Still with her worn and bat tered broom of dogma does she keep up the frenzied struggle t<» hold hack from the knowledge of men the bound less ocean of unceasing love. Driven from on position to another by the persistent progress of theological thought, with falling strength, but un- diminished zeal, the unequal and los ing combat la continued. Despairing appeals for help are made from time to time to those upon whom the light has fallen, and who have converted their brooms Into paddles, with which to help the tide of truth to bear them safely on to the haven of righteous ness and peace; but those who have tasted the joys of freedom In faith and love are not prone to return willingly to the slavery of fear and supersti tion, and ao, though they would fain change their old friends from hinder- ers Into helpers, yet progres waits not long for the laggard, and the obstinate old lady must be lert to be engulfed In the kindly, life-bringing flood she has so valiantly combatted. Up a toilsome, tljorn-strewn way have men cpmo to an ever-increasing knowledge of the character and attrib utes of the one true God. Dlood-be spattered and shriek-echoing lias ever been the pathway of the pilgrims of truth. Ever, In the way of advance In theoolglcal thought.' has stood the ob structionist. counting no method too cowardly, no weapon too cruel for use In heating back the patient seeker* af ter light and truth. Ever, ns an echo to the triumphant shout of the explorer upon the hilltop of a new revelation, has come the dlsmnl warning of the prophet of gloom, “Forsake not ancient landmarks.” With mine men and women. iev»r- ence Is synonymous with stagnation. The tenacious love of the old absolute ly prevents unprejudiced examination of the new. This spurious reverence also begets n decided!y dwarfing and unhappy type of egotism.

Golden text—Great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou wilt,— Matt. 15:28. By DR. GEORGIE A. BEATTIE. I N our last lesson Jesus was feeding the 5,000 at the north end of the Sea >f Galilee. That night after sending the multitude away, and paaing some tints In prayer, He walked on the wa ter to meet His disciples who were rowing across the sea. Scarcely had He reached the land when some whom He had fed came to Him asking that He feed them again. This suggested the discourse record ed In John 6:22-71. Then camo the Pharisee* from Jerusalem, seeking to entangle Him, and make it appear that He did not keep the law of Moses as recorded In Mat. xv. 1-9. After this He made another circuit tnore extended than any of the others, tolng os far west us the borders of Phenlcla, the vicinity of Tyre and Si- Jon. This was the scene of our lesson. Here He went Into a house that He might get reat, and be concealed from th*»se who sought Him. “But He could J«>t be hid." Among those who sought him was a mother whose daughter had jn unclean spirit, who did not bring her child, but came alone. It was not necessary that Jesus should have the person present whom He would heal. A '< He had to do was to speak the (Word. □Thl* woman was Sryo-Phenlclan; [h«t is: * native of Phenlcla that be- ' SmI;.. She ua* a hc.Hh*n, one of those whom the Jews called bar- osrlans or Greeks. She was a descend- *nt of the Syrian as distinguished from jne <'arthagenlun. a Semitic race. Mat thew telle us she was a Cannanltlsh "'oman, one of the original Inhabitants m the land, descendant of Ham. Thus •nr represented the representatives of Ham, and Shem by descent, and of Japheth by Innguage and civilization, •nd so wa* a representative of a vast f;.»g:in«. Hordn* had all the**- barriers of strangeness In race, relig ion and nationality to overcome In call- in* on rhrtst "hen people wish to see Christ, ’•*n they feel the need of Him, no oh- too great to prevent them. I The fact that Jesus at this period of ministry betook Himself to the ***** of Tyre and SIdon calls for a Inquiry. Wh y Jetus Went to a Heathen Land. He started on this Journey immedi ately after His disciples had been ac cused by the Pharisees of eating bread with “defiled, that Is to say, un*v«*h cn hands." The ground of that accuse lion Mark himself gives us when be tells of those Pharisees that over and above all washings of cups and pots and brazen vessels, “when they come form the market, except they wash, they eat not.” Against that substitution of An out ward for an Inward purity against that thought that any human being made In the Iran Re <>t God, whs In himself common or unclean, and capable of In fecting others with his uncleanness, the divine teacher protested with more than wonted sternness. It was after this utterance that "Ho arose and went Into the coast of Tyre and SIdon." Was It not as though He would testify by act as well as words, that He did not ehlrk from that con tact with a people whom the Pharisees regarded as accursed and unclean— that It was better to go fo and from among such as these than to abide among a people who honored God with their Ups, while out of their hearts flowed the full stream of evil? And does not this supposition throw light on the conduct of Jesus In His answer to the petition of the woman? Judged by the standards that we ap ply to human thought and conduct, the net waa but the natural and legitimate development of what He had then pro claimed In words. Ills primary object was not to make proselytes or proclaim the kingdom. He was still working within the limits which He recognized aa appointed by His Father. What He sought In that journey over the high mountain passes of Lebanon or Hermon. was rather the refreshment of the solitude where man bolds communion with God, of the everlasting hills which are aa the fa vored haunt of the Eternal Voice. The woman addressed Him by His Messianic name, "Thou son of Da vld." Among those whom He taught on the shore of Galilee, even before the ap pointment of the twelve had been num bered, “they about Trye and sidon. a great multitude." Luke tella us: “They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and they that were vexed with unclean spirits, and they were healed." Here we have an ex planation of what at first seems hard :o understand. This woman might have been among those who heard the ords and saw the miracles of the Christ, or she might have heard of them through others, so when the prophet came she would know Him, come to Him, and plead for His as sistance. So she followed Him through the streets and lanes of the city.* But Ho answered her not a word. He en tered a house to avoid the throng, hut she followed Him, and reiterated her cry. "But He answered not a word/ Tested Her Faith. That seemingly hard and repellant treatment mlgnt have appeared likely to crush out all hope. But the woman with that keen Insight Into motives and emotions which comes often as a su pernatural gift. In hours of special agi tation, saw In It that which gave her courage to persevere. Had He meant to rofuse absolutely and altogether It would have been easy to utter the refusal. Silence was a token that a conflict of some kind was going on within. At lost the silence waa broken, but not by Him, but by the disciples. It is not pity or love that prompts them. It might have been consideration for the Master, but It seems more like Impatience. A Needed Lesson. At this moment we may believe the Master saw that they needed a lesson. They were forgetting the limits of the work which He had assigned them, or were ready to transgress those limits. And so with that Irony which has en- tered In great* 1 !" <>r lr>* measure Into the work of nearly all great teachers of mankind, he puts forward the ex pression, not of his own thoughts and feelings, but of those which were work ing secretly Iq, their minds, though they shrank from giving utterance to them. "It Is not meet to take the chil dren's meat and give It to the dogs." This waa an Illustration of the com REV. EVERETT D. ELLENWOOD mo*** from hi* kne'*H when a*crnd Ing Pilate's staircase at Rome, not only became a convert f*» th* 1 doctrine of Just I heat Ion by faith, but he also be lieved that God would bless hie efforts In reforming the church. When John Knox prayed, “Give mo Scotland or I die," he belloved his prayer would be answered. In Dr. Cullls' home for In curables In Boston and In George Muel ler's orphanage In Bristol, England, we have today Illustrations of the power of faith. In the eleventh chnpter of Hebrews the apostle has given us n catalogue of the triumphs or faith. The secret of Mr. Moody's success os an evangelist was his faith. When the disciples asked the Savior why they could not cast out a devil from one that was possessed, after they had tried In vein. He told them that It was be cause of their unbelief. The disciples with little faith w-re living t*» p*rf*»nn miracle for a man who. It may be, had still less. There la too much unbelief In the pulpit and the pew today. We do not preach for results nor do we export results. The faith that can triumph over oth ers' unbelief Is faith of the highest kind. When you come across such an one. It Is worth while to stop and look.
