GREAT GATHERING OE PRESBYTERIANS ENDS ANDERSON DELEGATION RE TURNS FROM LAYMEN'S CONVENTION AT CHAR LOTTE DR. FRAZER WRITES Of Meeting tor The Intelligencer. Echo Convention Plan for Anderson (Written at request of The Intelllgcii ccr by Or. W. II. Prasser, pastor First Presbyterian Church.) Tho Anderson deb-Ration has re turned from the great convention which was held Tuesday. Wednesday nnd Thursday in the city or Charlotte. They are unanimous In their estima tions of it as the greatest gathering of men In the history of the Southern I'resbyterlun church. There has nev er been mich u 'jrowd of Southern Presbyterian men in one gathering, and there has never been such a pro found impression of the work of the church an was made at this conference. Dr. Campbell While, in his closing ad dress, denominated the missionary en terprise us the biggest business in the whole world. He sultl that In com parison to the Standard Oil and Unit ed Steel enterprises were but babes! There are thone of the delegation who have seen the widest horizon that has 0V2r dawned upon them. A world-vision ban been gotten. A wid er work must result. The Idle tulk of not believing In foreign missions 1* folly to every man who looks at the mission of the church of Christ as it is given in such a convention. An outline or the program even would be Impossible. A row of the speakers may be mentioned. John It. Motto waB the first of tho world wide reputed leaders. He came on Tuesday night with his new massage on "Tho Message of the Hour." It was ovf\i such. Throbbing with the sympathy and suffering from the war zone fi*om which he has Just returned. He put Europe before his bearers aa they had never seen it before, mri as he declar ed, as ho had never seen it before Dr. Motte declared that Ohlei plr.ee visiting ?h z> :i ) tbflii before h-. ci iiv t I Pat no one . (* is a g i ai deal European war w.-ni. He u< ' . see what he had been compelled to see and to I--ii what lit! had i-ompeiUt! lo hear ami not have the very fountains of his vitality sapped unless that one be ? hypocrite. Dr. Motte declared that Europe is one great pathetic groan, and that every where tle-re are rivers of pain flowing back from the front where hundreds of thous ands hur? been killed and millions have been wounded. Dr. Motte .laid that the Buffering of the soldiers 1* nothing to compare with the greater sucering of wait Ing wives ami wailing children; of heart broken fathers and mothers who have loved ones at the front and who listen for returns after each engagement, lie declared that every visit he made In Europe ami the British Isles was lo a home of sor row. Dr. Motte said that it nieuiis however a great revolution of Eu ropean conditions. That there is a grout religious awakening throughout the war zone. He said thut it Is tho revival or religion rather or the Old Testament type than of the New. That It is a great cry to the Lord (Jod or Hosts ami of battles rather than to the Christ or brotherly love and of peace. Ho said that there is a great un derswell or ethical renaissance in' Europe today. The elimination of strong drink In one day In one In-! stance, Iba putting of the crswhile In tense selfishness into the smelting pot j or human need and suffering and the j bringing Europe out with the dresB or personal selfishness completely con-! Bumed. He said that Ambassador Page had said to him: "Mr. Motte, there; Is1 not a selfish man In Europe today." ! Dr. Motte referred to his conference with "'resident Wilson and said that he had 'old the president that so far as America is concerned she ha? a . future of her own making. Her op portunities In the old world will ho pra-.tlcully unlimited. "As our faith is. ho shall It be unto us", was the dic tum In which he expressed It. He made ,i strong uppeal for an unselllsh approach to our great burdenl He tiaid thut while groat nations are stretched upon the cross It would be unworthy of any man who heard hlui to go out to Hvo a Hellish lire. "Let us place nil thut we are and all that V/o possess at the disporal o ft he Mas j i< r. <osi what It may", wuh tin- con illusion of his masterful address. j Hubert K. Sj.r, who is secretary of I the hoard of missions t?f the Northern Presbyterian ciiiircli wai a towering i giant. Mr. Speer is an anomlly from mi ecclesiastical standpoint. He is a high honor graduate or Princeton ; University and or Princeton Seini i nary." and lias had the title or 1). I), thrust upon him. hut lie is not a regu larly ordained minister. He has given Iiis life to the work or mission:-, and is a 111:111 ot world-wide reputation. No man has a roller conception or tin* great world task than Hoben K. Speer, and no one can tell better tbun lu? what are the demands of duty and outline more concisely Hie lines of activity. He brought two ?reut mes sages m tin convention. One was on "The Conditions tor World Evangeli zation." ami the other on "Christian Missions and World Issues." It waB perhaps in the latter that be excelled himself. It bad as its groat core und center Jesus Christ lor the Nations. Mr. Speer said that there is a great danger that we shall bo overawed by 1 lie day in which we live. He chal lenged any one to prove that this was the most niomeiiloua time or history, ile. with bis characteristic readiness with exact information, traced tho history of tin* world and allowed tbe great upheavals that have staken the world, instancing especially tbe in vas ion of Home by tho groat barbur ism hordes who came down upon her. and coining down to 50 or tiO years ago when, he declared, four great , wars were rougbt within 20 years in- . I Solving issuc.s tlsat were larger than ! those now at stake. He said that there' are a few things that we need to [ accept us assets tor our missionary I world-campaign. Qne or these is Hint ' j tho world is one. ! Von cannot bave a missionary enter- | prise Tor a split-up world. "Go ye i into all the world" is the command j i nnd assumes one God, and one great 1 human race. Haclel pride, national ' j narrowness und provincial thought are enemies lying In wait always. One ; or the benefits or the present war is the eradication of this to a large ex- I tent. Ho declared that tbe war has shown mankind the deep, abysmal fundamen tal need of Jesus Christ. He said that ; rather than have our taith shaken by thlB greut war wo' should see that which is the plainest thing in the ' world. "That only Jesus Christ can take this old world or ours and wash it or Its evil and impurity and reclaim It with His love." Christianity is the hepe of the world. And Christianity needs defining anew, he declared: "It is not civilization. Institution, social progress, philanthropy, or anything of the sort; it is Just Johus Clirlst and He alone." It must be divorced from everything except His saving gPuco and personal loyalty tu Him." The power of our religion lies not in dip lomacy, civilization or education, but in itself its unseen, uncompromising, all powerful Lord, Jesus the Christ of Cod." He said that this is no hour to withdraw or retrench. We have been piling up our surplus for de cades. Now is the time to ubo Hie aurplnn. It is the sacrllieliiK of for tune or of Christ. Which will it be? It would be unworthy of the Southern Trc-Kbytc-rlaii church Which ?as born in tbe hour of war and rocked In the cradle of hardship, but which Inscrib ed upon Its banner the commission of Hie Lord Jesus Christ before It ever exalted it as a standard, it woud hie unworthy of Hb great history to with draw or retrench in such an hour as this. .Mr. J. Campbell White, general sec-I rotary of the laymen's movement, was j the linal speaker of the convention.! lie climaxed ull that was said. His strong personality was poured out In tiie anointing of the whole offering of the convention. His subject was: "Leaving Your Mark on The World." Among the essential requisites of the man who shall leave his murk on the world the&e two were most prominent ly stressed. First he must recognize the central place of God In human life. Cod has a plan for every life. Man must find It and Bubmit to it. Second ho must surrender himself to the will of Cod. "Scaled lips are the result of the consciousness of moral failure and defeat." "There Is no vic tory until there Ib surrender." "We can never have all of Him until He has all of us;" "God will (III us as full of Himself as we will hold," these und muny other great steeming truths fell from bis lips as he held his au dience spell-bound. Time would fail us to tell of Dough ty with his great address on Interses sion. "The highest form of service, of lnnes In the masterpiece of Christian consecratlfen ; " "How crin a man heat send his money on ahead?", and Shane, In "business efllclency vs. church ef ficiency," these were all laymen who are successful business men and who use their successful business for the promotion of the success of the "King's Business."

OOOO.OOOOOOoOO O 0 o REFUGE LOCALS o O 3 oooeooooooe-?? -0 Our roads through this section were beginning to improve ' a great deal, during tbe pretty weather last week, but the recent rain has put us back in "tbe same old rut, in tbe same o wugon without any grease." War! War! low priced cotton and hard times, seem to be the topic of conversation everywhere, and at all times through the day* and night. Now listen kind readers, stop and think, ask yourself how much good It'is do ing you to worry your brain and' lose your patience, and perhaps your tem per too; over such frlvilous subjects. We beliovle that the war is not the cause of the price of cotton being so low. If you want to get our opin ion, it is this: That the little hair brained, thick skulled cotton specula tor Is at the bottom of the whole bus iness, -and if it were in our power to do so, we would nuke htm earn htB bread by the sweat of his brow, for a few years at least ' Oh, yes, now wouldn't we love tr. sco him out in the grass and harvest fields perspiring out his fine airs and graces wearing homemade jeans, and a big.straw hat, ha! wouldn't - he make a charming. picture, plowing a contrary-mule a whole week on half rations, then late Saturday evening take him from tbe plow,' hook him to the farm wagon and drive five' or six miles to town, and then when he gets there, we. would dearly love to see him have to pay $3.99 for a boot leg "of flour, 29 cents per pound for bacon, and not get any sugar or cof fee at all, saying nothing about tho other little necessary articles wo all have to have; then go home and milk half dosed cows, feed the chickens and pigs, carrying In stove wood and fire, wood, and then ir ho is not ready for supper, at the.usual tlmo, got a good scolding from hb wife. Mr.' Specula tor we think that would be enough to convert you. The many frlonds of Mrs. Nannie Whites, win be pleased to learn that she Is at home again, after an absence of two weeks. She has been In the Anderson hospital for the past'two weeks. Mrs. White, we are certainly pleased to learn that yon stood your operation so.vrell, and that you are at home so doon. Mr. and Mrs. L.
