CAROLINA DELEGATES ATTEND CONVENTION (Continued from Page 1.) .. Chinese Missionary, expressed it in the question, "what is this ragtime generation of jazzers going to do for Jesus?" Dr. John R. Mott was chair man of the convention and pre sided over the meeting. Be sides Sherwood Eddy, there was Robert Speer and many others who brought out the startling facts that all the other religions of the world were starting out to overcome Chris tianity; that the followers of Confucius were adopting th,. methods of the Christians and even copying some of our songs, substituting Confucius for Christ, in the attempt to defeat us with our own weapons; that the Mohammedians were now sending thousands of mission aries into the world to teach the doctrines of force rather than the Christian message of love and fellowship. "The world now lies open, it is beg ging for Christianity and it is up to the students of the world to see that this plea is an -swered." The call for mis sionaries was accompanied by the statement that the reason why so many people are living in the same backward way PROMINENT ALUMNUS SUGGESTED BY DIAL. Christie Benet of Columbia, an alumnus of Carolina, has been named as the probable successor to Secretary of Inter ior Lane, who recently made public his intention of resign ing from Wilson's cabinet. Senator Dial, impressed with Mr. Benet's qualifications for this cabinet position, took up the matter of his appointment with President Wilson thru Secretary Tumulty. In the opinion of Senator Dial and many other persons who are acquainted with Mr. Benet, there could be no better selec tion made. Mr. Tumulty assured Sena tor Dial that he was aware of the splendid record Mr. Benet had made in the Senate in fill ing the unexpired term of Mr. Tillman and that his appoint ment would be given serious consideration by the president. The selection of Mr. Benet as Secretary of the Interior would indeed be pleasing to his many friends and an honor to the university.

Nelson Frier son. common to the days before Christ is because those of the civilized world who could have carried to them the teachings they need have failed to see be yond the smnal horizon into the great beyond of opportunities.

To become suddenly deaf would enable us to evaluate sound; and blind ness would impress us with the beauties of light. The essen tial things of life are the freest and the least valued. Their ab sence, alone, creates a sense of appreciation. With those of us to whom reading is as natural as walk ing, there is a very pronounced absence of a feeling of real ap preciation. Somehow we take for granted that everybody can read and that the blessings at tendant upon this privilege are open to all. If it were possible to deprive the whole reading world of this ability for a space of one month and at the end of that time to say that the gift would be re stored for a period of twelve months upon condition that within this time every adult in this country should be taught to read, how busily would we em ploy each waking hour, what ordor would we show in bestow ing this gift upon others, not only because of the unselfish joy that we would experience SHEPPARE 1423 Ma GOODYEAR SI W.

We have urged this upon the literate public and the teach ers, because of the pride that we feel in our beloved State, and it is just that we should have this pride. It is right that we should attempt to make our State hold an enviable place among her sister States. But, after all, should not the actuat ing motive of our endeavors be to enable those who through misfortune, or through neglect, have been deprived of this transcendent gift, to open up to themselves the beauties and practical blessings that the printed page presents to those who are able to read? At this season of the year, when the hearts of all of us re spond most readily to the call of others, we desire to give somebody something. Are there not very few earthly gifts whose blessings are more last ing than the power of reading? We are able, either directly or indirectly, to pass this gift on to those who need it most. Shall we not do it now?
