The chairman of the meeting in introducing Lord Robert (’ceil made the dramatic announcement that "Mr. Wilson in his retreat in S. street in listen ing in.’f- Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta, well known in Athens where he often visits and speaks takes the above as a text for his weekly contribution to the At lanta Qpnstitution. In part I)r. Jones declared: '■ One’s imagination is irresistibly drawn away from the brilliant New York banquet to the subdued shad- owl's of .the Wilson home in Washington. What did Mr.'Wilson hear that evening? Some of <he news papers' gave ii verbatim report of Lord Robert's rpebchrbut how differently people hear! Knrh man listens with the background of I lie entire past ex perience as a sounding-board. The very voice of Rob ot Cedi had a personal meaning for Woodrow Wil son. They had stood shoulder to shoulder, in those tr'agic flays in Paris, as together they "contended for faith.”. As that voice was borne to him on magic waves,-once again it must hnve rung harmonious with tlte ideal of hir own heart,'as it called humanity into the consciousness of its kinship. And as the sound of applnuse reached him at the mention of his own name, did hone leap into radiant consciousness to prophesy the ultimate triumph of his drenm of hu man brotherhood ? * Wilsoii, the Historian, wys listening in that night. He is q,’good listener. He is accustomed .to listening to the voice .of the. mighty past, as it tells its story of the.slow but certain upward climb of the human race. He.heard that night that his beloved league still lived; that It had grown to become a society of fifty- •ono nations.* He heard the record of some genuine achievements hlrendy made which manifested the -growing strength of this one great hope for the re demption of civilization from threatened chaos. How his heart must have throbbed with sympathetic re sponse to the appeal of this great British idealist, as, with persuasive hospitality, he stood at the open door Of this great human association and hade America en ter and take her seat of honor. I fancy that Wilson, the statesman-historian, lis tened that night with the light of a smile upon • his face, /or he was listening from the vantage-point of his knowledge of the past, and thus glimpsed the fea ture with prophetic vision. Great human achievc- -mente are never manufactured, like the work of a day. Rather are they like seeds planted in the soil of the roul. “Except a grain of wheat fall intq the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die it bear- eth much fruit. , It is sigriificantly interesting, also, that there were others listening-in that night. They heard, as voices from the dead, the names “League of Nations,” and “Woodrow Wilson,” apd.then the answering waves of applauses They shivered, as if a cold wind had blown vfgom the graveyard/ THcre has been great excite ment among the political leaders. They had buried this league of nations three yearn ago, and were just arranging to place in the tomb beside it the In ternational Court of Justice. There are already, sug gestions of the postponement of the second funeral. It is indeed a .dreadful day for party leaders when po litical ghqsts walk abroad, and cast their shadows on the future. The warning has gone out, "Beware, ■Woodrow Wilson is listening-in!” believe the* history of Mira Ruth- cost of a fl fa will be assessed, rford which to our mind !h ah- !

His opinion iMimilar to that held bv many other Athenians who Jiavo been attending religious services daily ns well as'Sunday for the last three weeks; “the Bible Con ference comes at a time when it can do the most good." These Athenians, instead of tiring of church- Sjjfung, are just now getting “tuned up.” ' The time is opportune for a great religious revival 4n Athens. ► It.never hurts a community to have a “Heart searching-season” when men and women nlike alfe stock of themselves and if. anything is going prong correct it. Such speakers as those engaged for re Bible Conference hero would draw large crowds ordinarilly but the way has been paved by earnest < .and brilliant preachers of the Gospel for a . sure- ^nough awakening in the civic as well as personal life of Athenians. * '.E< The Bible Conference, held annually, has come to ' stand out as one of the anticipated events of the year in Athens and northeast Georgia. Last year it brought ip'.us scores of our fellow citizens from all parts of ^BSnhea'st Georgia and The Banner-Herald joins the directors of the Conference in extending to the entire section a cordial welcome to come and enjoy with us this eeapon of good things.

The visit of Dr. Kelly, the emi nent surgeon, to Athens offered an opportunity for ten patients to rccelvo tho best surgical care freo of charge. Dr. Kely performed three operations and ono patient re ceived attention for eleven weeks. Another Instance of the work being done nlong this lino was in the case of a father striving main-, tnln a family of eight children on‘ $12.00 a week. That Is a difficult problem,in Itself hut when one of the children Js critically III and an Immediate operation 1# necessary —aqd the expenses are not forth coming, the problem assumes huge proportions, nnd seems Insur mountable. This situation was learned of wns operated upon and given fr»*e ho would pay the expenses.
