SCATTERGOOD LECTURES ON RECONSTRUCTION (Continued from first page) to break the spirit of the French, w.ho instead were aroused to even greater endeavor. All German com manders, however, had not carried out the order to destroy. Mr. Scattergood brought out in powerful fashion the horrors of war, not only in tihe many deauiis of the soldiers but in the prevalence of dis ease and misery among the civilian population. He showed how tihe spirit of love, through the recon struction workers, was shining as a light in the hate, darkness and de struction Oil the war. The lecture wnH long be remembered at Guilford. Two Guilford Alumni, R. J. M. liobus and Henry Davis are at pres ent with the uniiit. HENRY SCATTERGOOD JLUSCLSSES WAR AIMS An able address was delivered be fore the student oody and commun ity by J. Henry Scattergood, o£ Puiil adeipiliia, at the Friends oliurch Sun day morning on the war aims of the .different powers. Mr. Soattergood showed how there were two main type of mind in all countries on both sides of this struggle; the conserva tive imperialistic type and the liberal tyipe, wihich is lighting only for the protection of democracy. He showed how President Wilson stood as a leader of the latter type and that his aims in this war were entirely un selfish. The secret treaties which had been revealed by the Bolsheviki showed that even the allied leaders were to some extent imperialistic;. Mr. Soattergood did not believe that Germany or any nation could be con quered by force alone. If all the al lies should adopt the Russian motto of "no annexations, no indemnities," the German people could no longer be deluded by their leaders. Had itliis been done Russia could have 'been held in line. If the allies should adopt the (liberal attitude of President Wil son and of the British laboir party not only would a new and powerful spiritual force be brought into the struggle, but after the war the world could be put on a permanent pear- 3 footing. SAFETY LEAGUE ORGANIZED, Mrs. John S. Cunningham, an agent of the Insurance Department of the State government, recently ad dressed morning collotion on tihe subject of "Safety First." She showed how fires so often result from carelessness and the import ance of looking after waste and oth er causes of conflagrations. The student body was urged to nominal/# officers for a Safety League and the following were nominated and elect ed by acclamation: President, Ches ter Sutton; vice-president, Don Wal ser; secretary, Donna Mcßane; treas urer, Mack Brown; 'honorary presi dent, Miss Osborne. The dues are 1 cent per member. At a recent meet ing of the officers it was decided to invest this money in safety pins, safety razors and safety matches. Miss Osborne however protested that very few matches made around here "A'ere safe. iQome out and see the French play. This will be a unique experience for Guilford. A Letter from Mrs. Hobbs (Continued from first page) that it was war time then and at once I was .called back to the present and thought of our men in Picardy and all of tihe horror of it, and won dered how so much beauty and BO much sadness and wrath could exist beneath the same heaven. Then came those wonderful words of Isaiah, 'the prophet, part of which Christ used upon a memorable occa sion to interpret hife own mission and declared them fulfilled. The latter part of the prophecy was what pre sented itself to me: "to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor and tihe day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn, to appoint unto -them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that .they may be called heirs of righte ousness, the planting of Jehovah that he may be glorious. The year of Jehovah's favor and the day of vengeance of our God seem rather uncongruous seasons. But I imgaine that even yet the two go hand in hand and that what often steems most terrible and as if the very vials of wrath weire being pour ed upon us, under the good hand of our God, results in the year of Je hovah's favor. I came back from my thought journey to the battlefields of Europe, and standing upon the well known and greatly beloved soil of our col lege, said, Guilford is worth all our best effort. In its beauty, in its past triumphs, in its possible victories it appeals to the best in us to make of all the perplexities and all tihe dis appointments of the past simply a setting for ".the year of Jehovah's favor," which by united effort and loyal support we may help to bring to pass.
