W. T. Bolt, Laurens attorney and
for the past two years a member of
the house of representatives from
this county, made formal announce

ship schcxil opened at Presbyterian j Characters in the first play were.
Wilson, as a practical man, steep
ed in the history of nations, saw
clearly that the world could never
enjoy peace or security if divided
Woodrow Wilson and his plan of
peaceful negotiation, in place of the i we go through the anguiA of this
of aggrandizement.
Shall mankind live in a world of-
arms forever? Shall we who have
created courts ajnd systems of juris
prudence contrive no means of set
tlement among nations except by
sacrifice of millkms of young men,
suffering of women, destruetkm of
the ridi heritage of the ages? How
ever this war may end we shall pre
pare for another within the next
generation. Can we contemplate this
without unspeakablel hohror? Yet if
man shall emerge frdm this war vic
tor and vanquidicd, the vanquished
will agkin prepare for revenge. Does
it bring us bi^ to the great vision
of Wilstm, of nations seeking peace
ful adjustments through orderly pro
cesses of justice?
After the Armistice I visited the
devastated areas of France and Bel
gium. 1 joined the great throng of
those who thought this could never
happen. But from that baptism of
carnage would come a new era of
imspeakably tragic is the disiUusimi-
reason and peace among men. How
ment! All the horrors of that war
have already been exceeded. Shall
spoliation of arbitraments by weight
of metal and range of guns?
When our own great America re-
into opposing camps bristling with, liused to join the league the issue was
cannon. Is it not so? America, hailed
by all as the hope of oppressed peo
ple, proudly proclaiming her zeal to
clear; force, through alliances, would
again revive and intensify animosi
ties, ambitious and far-flung designs
slau^ter for nothing?
Thou^tful men are asking them
selves if life offers no more than
sanguinary strife every generation.
Certainly if the passions of m^
are dominant the future offers noth
ing of hope. Is there no surer foim-

dation on which to build civilization..
For twenty centuries we have done
lip service to the Prince of Peace
ediile trusting to our own. strength
azid resources. Shall we how, a pcac-
tical men, stand finally convinced
of dke spurious wisdom distilled from
the rise oi empires and repudiate
it for that leadership which Napol
eon in exile recognized as greater
than was ever achieved by force of
arms?
With force arrogant ai^ trium
phant, nothing will count but force;
so must we prepare, remembering
the words of tihe Supreme Teacher
“When a strong man armed keepeth
his palace, his goods are in peace.**
So must we emulate the stronyg man
during the emergency, but mankind
icanno^ thrive on warlike onergen-
cies. When his storm blows over
humanity should not devote its ener
gies and resources to praparatioii for
another tragic era; our cmnmon
sense, our most eardUy of earth^
experience and observations teach us
impellingly that nothing is finally
Mlvcd by might alone. Our wisdom
in its most practical aspects recogniz
es the truth of the remark of the
Great Teacher following my quota
tion: ‘‘But when a stronger than he
shall come upon nim, and overcome
