— = — TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN - . •e-pirry-w wF"i SOUTHERN LEADERS By REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE, Pastor Second Baptist Church I MMEDIATELY at hartd for South ern men I* the necessity of choos- Inc between two seta of leaders. The negroes are also faring the same proposition with regards to their lead ers. On one Mile are those who ear nestly and for the most part sincere ly encourage and promote derotlon to the negro Issue. On the other, those sho Iliad away from {hat and encour- sge and promote derotlon to other In terests The two policies are at a point." My pirn to Southern young men Is that you will take a firm stand With those who lead away from the negro question to the strengthening concerns of Southern life. And let the stand be Itrm. You will bo 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 theso things. Separating from the confusion, let us 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, aa well as the habit of the good days when the gout hem people were powerful In In fluence. • The Industrial leader, the educational leader and the religious leader are the three who must lead us out of that which Is false Into that which la true In our Southern life—business man, teacher and preacher. The Business Man. I place the business man—the Indus trial leader—foremost In the rank, be cause he has at his command the readiest motive, and Is least Influenced by the discouragement of reactionary forces. Industrialism Is primarily the basis of organized society. In his address on the "Economic Interpretation of History.” Professor 8ellgman, of Co lumbia 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 moral life, but not until the economic 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 vanco In civilisation have been erect ed on and rendered possible by the solid foundations of material prosper ity." The activity of Industrial leaders and ths prominence of Industrial forces have a much more Important relation to patriotism than the super ficial critic allows. Immediately, ths surest deliverance of Southern thought from unhealthy to healthy self-con sciousness is 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 apologise: don't explain. Oet 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 overcomes Isolation and cures provln- South to the world and the worl the South. They are diverting atten tion to strength-producing Interests. They are creating a sound basis for Southern prlds. They are giving Southern men a reason for the faith that Is In (hem. They are teaching us to say the South Is the best—not Just because she Is the best—but because she has the best soil, advantages, re sources, opportunities for real achieve 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 espe<^elly If he will see far enough to of the civil war with burning cheek sorrowing on hla pillow that he had 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 on often and so well urged by Illchsrd Edmonds, wham I hewer ■ a true Southern leader, than to hold that In dustrialism is at war with the histori cal Ideals. The old South made as much of her Industrial opportunities as the new 8outh has done with hers. Before the break came In her prog ress, the sun of Industrial advance was 'veil tip In the heavens 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- feeslon. Thomas Jefferson was In the buslnese of manufarturtng nails. The battle field of King's Mountain Is not far away from mines nnd hloomerlea a hundred and fifty years old. The School Teacher. Equally as distinct In the leadership of the South to her great future It 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. He has had to lira by faith. His rewards In practi cal effect on the body politic are not Immediate. He must sow In tears, nnd ha knowa that ha must wait patiently for tha/harveat. If. Indeed, It ever cornea In hla lifetime. At flrat. there waa no recognition of the teacher as a public man. The school president has evolved a new statesmanship, and fha South has no asset rising In value and In power faster than the educational lead er. Here again the true Ideal of the South rises to view against the falsa. Thomas Jefferson was never more within what waa native to and con cordant with Southern character than when aa a corollary of hla democracy ha preached for education and planned according to hla creed and educational system for Virginia. It waa Jefferson's REV. DR. JOHN E. WHITE. I In the South when our. educational census Is displayed. We are not l*r from the hopefullest sign of the times when college presidents and teachers assert their offices as functions of statecraft. The words of the school teacher who lay dying were prophetic of a new order now being. realised In the (South. He said, "When 1 am dead put a sword on my coffin. For I was a soldier In I he war against Ignorance." Under that order Southern people will preserve and perpetuate their best tra ditions. Under that order they will be led lo take counsel not from that which represents their fears, but from that which represents ihslr force. The Preacher. Less dlstlnet, perhaps, but more per vasive and commanding a vital posi tion wl'b reference to the true life of the South are those who stand for the Chrletlan principle, the religious Ideal. The leadership of the rellgloua teacher nnd preacher In the South Is Indlspen- sabls to ths Industrlsa and educational forces. Harmonious progress Is Impos sible here without him. He Is nearest to the conscience of the people atlfi he thought though uttered by another that Ignorance In a republic was a political crime; that liberty was a dangerous thing: that a free people must be a thoughtful people. In that thought la represented what Is fundamental In ths present lender- 1111 ■ "f e.lu. .ilb'ii hi ll.i- S.,mb ll l- s gosapl that uever falls to cony let the JetferaoMaa Democracy Is what the South wants, only It must be what Jef fersonian Democracy was—a civilisa tion no more eaetaved by Its own pre- to act without a caucus force to de fine his limits of freedom. We are not far from the secret of many troubles art stands for an Idea and phljosqph _ ly of life underlying the whole fabric of an- ,cietjr. An jUllance of leadership be tween him and those who repreaent the Industrial and educational movements I have referred to would present an Ir- realetable front against the things which are false and for . the things which are tgue In Southern life. Benjamin Franklin was not In any sense a religious partisan, but he waa wise enough to recognise the religious Idea In the foundation of tha republic. 11* said that the new constitution would crumble unless ll was tha re sult of divine counsel and he called upon his colleagues In the Philadelphia convention to baptize It In prayer. In aome way the preacher In the South too. In that South of tha day of great promise he waa a powerful figure. A candid critic speaking of conditions In the South prior to the war refers to the great place which the preachers held and saya: "They almost ranged them selves with the giants; I had rather have known one of these men than all the political and military heroes we have since bred. The politician has been the greatest popular hero, but the preacher has had much the greater Influence. For a century he waa by far our greatest man—the man of the largest original power and of the strongest character.” The preacher haa lost hla public poa-er to a great degree In the com mon chaos of Southern unsettlement. He la himself In part to blame because he haa been afraid to assert hla heri tage from hla apostolic ancestry. But lha reason of his ftar had Its grounds. Tha imlUlclana of our sorrowful period have resented hla approach to public llilluenca and the Idea haa been auc- ceasfully grafted on to Southern pub lic opinion that the field of politics la worldly or of the devil; therefore, the preacher must keep well out of touch with It The man In the South that the truth will sat free at once la tha preacher. Hie meeaage and meaning to our life aa a public man Is too Important to be lost. Patriotism must be defined In farms that Include him. He la more than a passive subsidiary social and political asset. He haa a gospel that saves both men and natlone and hla priesthood Is a priesthood of the public good. In tha vestibule of tha capital of He who saves his country saves things, and all things saved shall bless him. Who lets hjs country die lets all die and all things dying cures him." 1 have pondered that Incom parable definition of patriotism. It waa written by a Southerner and with ref erence to the South in hie “Notes on the Situation," printed In 1MI. There 1s no saving of one's country so that all things are saved If the religious principle Is omitted from the founda tions. Industry wilt save from poverty and Isolation, and hslp to save from morbid self coneclouaenea, but what will save Industry from aordldness and greed. Education will save from Ig norance, prejudice and the perils of liberty, but what will aave education from unbelief and godleeaneaeT The In dustrialist and ths educator needs ths preacher.

The security of the South te not In self protection It Is In self elevation. It Is a civic tradition In New Or leans that when the great flood In the Mississippi river had broken over tha levees and wrecked tho city, two cltl- ssns were ruefully surveying the de bris and wreckage. One of them rather bitterly exclaimed, "Oh. If I had al mighty power In this nrm, I would build a levee here so high that the river could never get over It!" "I would not do that," quietly responded the other. "If I had almighty power in this arm, I would pul It betsmth our city and lift It up so high that the old Mississippi would roll harmlessly at Its feet." The eafety, the progress, the glory of the South does not lie In ths mouths of those who say. "Let the South alone," but rest# In that nobler, braver clarion, “Lift ths South up.

ELLENWOOD, Ptmtor-Unlverftallst Church I N our youth, we were frequently regaled by the fascinating tale of the frantic old lady, who, with her puny strength, unceasingly piled her broom In an atempt to eweep back the oncoming sea. The history of the rise of the human race from mental Inferiority, erase Ignorance and primitive superstition, to Its present boasted degree of Intel lectual freedom and spiritual power, records the constant presence of the obstructionist, with hie Increasingly pitiful and futile attempt to hold bark the oncoming tide of the eternal truth of God. And still Is t|ie theological old lady with us. Still with her worn and bat tered broom of dogma does she keep up the fretuMT Struggle to hold back from the knowledge of men the bound less ocean of unceasing love. Driven from on position to another by the peralatent progress of theological thought, with falling strength, but un- diminished zeal, the unequal and loa- Ing combat la continued. Despairing appeals for help are made from time to time to those Upon whom the light haa 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 so, though they would fain change their old friends from hlndsr- era Into helpers, yet progret. waits not long for the laggard, and the obstinate old lady must be left to be engulfed In the kindly, life-bringing flood she has so valiantly combatted. Up a toilsome, Ihorn-strewn way have men come to an ever-lncreaalng knowledge of the character and attrib utes of the one true God. Blood-be spattered and shriek-echoing haa ever been the pathway of the pilgrims of truth. Ever, In the way of advance In theoolglcal thought,-haa stood the ob structionist, counting no method too cowardly, no weapon too cruel fot- use In heating back the patient seekers af ter light and truth. Ever, as an echo to the triumphant shout ot the explorer upon the hilltop of a new revelation, haa come the dianial warning of the prophet of gloom, "Forsake not the ancient landmarks.” With some men and women, rever ence Is synonymous with stagnation. The tenacious love of the old absolute ly prevents unprejudiced examination of the new. This spurious reverence also begets a decidedly dwarfing and unhappy type of egotism. It leads men to conceive that they have taken their own petty little theological tin cups "'SUNDAY ~SCHOOlTlESSON} The Gentile Woman’s Faith i N the *>f I Ths Gsntlls Woman's Faith, Mark 7:24- 30. Golden text—Great Is thy falthi bs it unto this even as thou vvllL— Matt. 15:28. By DR. GEORGE* A. BEATTIE. N our last lesson Jesus was feeding the 5,000 at tho north end of the Sea Galilee. That night after gpndlng the multitude away, and posing some time In prayer, Ha walked on the wa ter to meet HI* disciples who were rowing across ths 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 dlecouree record ed In John 4:33-71. Then came the l’harlsees from Jerusalem, seeking to entangle Him. and make It appear that lis did not ksep the law of Moses a* recorded In Met. xv, l-». After this He made another circuit more extended than any of the others. don. This wp* the scene Here He went Into a house that He might get rest, and be concealed from those who sought Him. "But Hs could not be hid.” Among those who sought him was a mother whose daughter had •n unclean spirit, who did not bring her child, but cams alone. It was not necessary that Jesus should hare the person present whom He would heal. All He had to* do waa to apeak the word. This woman waa Sryo-Phenldan: 'hat Is: a native of Phenlda that be longed to Syyla, She was a heathen, one of those whom the Jews called bar barians or Greeks. She wss a descend- ant of me Syrian as distinguished from ■ he i 'arthagenlan. a Semitic race. Mat thew tells us she was a Cannanlttsh woman, ope of the original Inhabitant* of the load, descendant of Ham. Thus 'he represented the representatives of Ham. and Hbem by descent, and of Jnpheth by language and civilisation, nml so was a representative of a vast numberof pagans. So she had all these iwrrlere of strangeness In race, relig ion and nationality to overcome In call- ins on Christ. "hen people wish to see Christ, " hen they reel the need of Him, no ob- »aele Is too great to prevent them.

Against that substitution of an out ward for an Inward purity against that thought that any human being made In the Image of God, was In himself common or unclean, and capable of In fecting others with his uncleannsss, the divine teacher protested with more than wonted sternness. It was after this utterance that "He arose and went Into the coast of Tyre and Sldon." Was It not as though Hs would testify by act aa wall as words, that Hs did not shirk from that con tact with a people whom ths Pharisees regarded aa accursed and unclean— that It waa better to go to and from among such as these than to abide among a people who honored God with their lips, while out of their bgarts flowed tha full stream of evil? And does not this supposition throw light on the conduct of Jesus In Ills answer to ths petition of the woman? Judged by the standards that wa ap ply to human thought and conduct, ths act waa but tbs natural and legitimate development of what Hs had than pro claimed In words.

So she followed Him through the streets and lanes of the city. But He answered her not a word.

It might have been consideration for the Master, but It seem* more like Impatience. A Needed Luton. At this mement 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 lo tranegreu those limits And so with that Irony which has en tered In greater or lees measure Into the work of nearly all great teachers of mankind, he puls forward tho ex pression, not of his own thoughts nnd feelings, but of tbass which ware work ing secretly In their minds, though they shrank from giving utterance to them. ‘‘It I* not meet to take the chil dren's meat and gtv* It to the dogs.” This was an llluetratlon of the com mand "Cast not that which la holy unto dogs.” How wore they to recon cile this with the other word* that apoks of a wider hope, which told of the many who should come from the East and tha West, and alt down with Abraham and Jacob and Isaac In the kingdom of Ood? The woman saw In tha words a new ground of hops. She caught at the very form of the wordo which He had used, and pointed to the dog, not as tha undtsn. fsroclous beasts that still Infest thou Eastern cities, that feed on carrion and roam tha struts, but thou that are admit ted Into the house. She finds In that word not a refusal, but a new plea for compliance. She did not claim a right to a full fellow ship In ths blessings of the kingdom, nml wa* conttnt to accept Just that which would meet her special want And supply nourishment for her hope. And so her prayer was heard. The duper law of love, the enthusiasm of humanity prevailed over the law of the aelMmpoeed limits of the Master's | work. The most casual reader of the miracles of Christ cannot but be Impressed with the fact that In every Instance where waa possible faith In Ills ability lo perform the miracle was required be fore He wrought It. When the two blind men cam* to Him He asked If believed He waa able to restore sight, sad when they confessed they were. He touched their eyes, bay ing, “According to your filth, be It unto you.” We are benflted and bleued ac cording to our faith. Alexander the Grub Alexander the Great ones had a sol dier who performed some meretortou* service, and the king naked him to name hla reward. He specified a large sum of money.

He likes to give like a king. The reformers In avery age have bun possessed of great faith. Luther, when he arose from bis knees when ascend ing Pilate's staircase at Rome, not ofity became a convert to the doctrine' of Justification by faith, but ha also be lieved that God would bleu hla efforts In reforming the church.
