BOLSHEVISM-
Professor Dudley Carroll Gives a
Graphic Account of the Russian
Situation
On Saturday evening Mr. Dudley
Carroll, Assistant Professor of His
tory and Economics in the Universi
ty of North Carolina, lectured on
"Bolshevism—Or What?"
In his intx-oductory remax-ks Px'o
fessor CaxToll criticised unfavorably
that conceptioxx of reconstruction
which teaches that we should stj-ive
to bx-ing back pre-war conditioils.
True reconstructioix, said Mr. Cax--
l-011, coxxsists xxot in getting back,
but ixx going forward with the steady
purpose to bring into being that
more complete dexxxocracy for which
our boys have fought.
To attain and maintain peace in
this period of reconstructioix will be
a different problem ixx the future
than it has beexx ixx the past. Ixx the
past wars have arisen between na
tional groups located in definite ter
ritorial ai'eas; in the futui'e, con
flicts xxxay take place between social
classes. To eliminate this possible
conflict we should spread the idea
that the intei'ests of the enxployer
and employee are identical, and that
both ai'e servaixts of the public.
This class conflict has come in all
its fury in Russia. There the autoc
racy of the leisure class has been
displayed by the autocracy of the
working population. International
ism is emphasized. That interna
tionalism can be realized only when
man's concept of patriotism has be
come synouomous with concerated
social service, is a belief which the
Russians have overlooked unfortu
nately. Though Bolshevism teaches
that brotherhood is the essence of
religion, this theological belief has
not moulded the ethical ideals to
such an extent that the use of mur
derous force is repudiated.
Thus Bolshevism may be depict
ed as a desperate giant scattering
fire and causing terror and blood
shed in his half crazed effort to
bring into realization the kingdom
of brotherhood by a cataclysmic
method. The wonderful ideal of
fundamental justice is cursed with
class consciousness and with the old
faith in ruthless violence. Yet the
Russians deserve our praise for the
fact that they are endeavoring to
found a social order whose watch
word is less selfish than the mottoes
of many more orderly nations.
To understand the background of
this terrific Russian giant we must
recall the long period of oppression,
both political and economic, which
the Russian peasant has experienc
ed. As a result of the war Russia
lost millions of men on the eastern
front. These, with other conditions,
hastened the revolution. This very
recent political revolution has a di
rect bearing on the industrial revo*
lution, in the process of which the

EZRA MOORE, 'l7,
DIES IN FRANCE
OR WHAT
Thursday, March 6th, the faculty
and student body of Guilford Col
lege were saddened by the news that
Ezra A. Moore had died February
27, in Harne, France, of influenza,
followed by pneumonia. In E -ra's
death Guilford loses a graduate
whose manly Christian character
drew all to him.
Ezx*a A. Moore was born in Golds
boro, Wayne county, N. C., October
12th, 1892. He went to school at
the Woodland Graded School near
his home,. In the fall of 9 912 ho
came to Guilford College. During
his life in college he endeared him
self to all who knew him. The mem
ory of his untiring effoi'ts is a
source of inspiration to all who lived
with him
Biology was his favorite subject
of study, and nothing pleased him
'better than to trace the blood thr
the human body, or to explain the
Uses of the diffei'ent r>ones.
In the Henry Clay Literary Soci
ety he was a most dependable mem
ber, always ably carrying his share
But his work did not stop here. He
was one of the foremost men in the
Y. M. C. A. One cannot speak too
highly of him as a Christian wo it
er. He was an active member of
Joseph Moore Science Club. He
served on the Guilfordian Board and
took his place in the college atblef
ics, aside from his regular college
work. Ezra tvas always found on
the job in whatever there was to do.
The fall after graduation Ezra
was principal of the high school at
Pine Tops, N. C. In his first at
tempt at his life's work he made his
usual good record.
On March 31st, (Eastex* Sunday)
'Ezra A. Moore was united in mar
riage to Mollie Edwards of Golds
boro, N. C. To this union was born
a daughter, Hazel Marjorie, Janu
ary 27th, 1919.
When the call for help from the
people in the war stricken districts
of Prance came to America Ezra
heard it. His answer has been his
life that others might live. On June
Ist, 1918, he sailed for France in
the Friends Reconstruction Unit. A
short while after arriving in France
he was made business fnanager of
one of the Red Cross hospitals un
der the care of the Friends. His
•promotion and the results of his
work show the high quality of work
ho did for the needy French refu
gees.
When his nine months of service
with the Friends Service Committee
was ended, he was given his hon
orable discharge. He had received
his discharge and was on his way to
port when taken sick. He was tak
en off the train and taken to a hos
pital at Harne, France, where he
died February 27th.
A heroic life given to the service
of his suffering fellowmen. A great
er gift none can give.
For his wife and child and his
aged father and mother, we offer our
sincere sympathy.
MAX RICH LECTURES
ON JEWISH HISTORY
fe'ii ew Hopes and Customs Graphi-
ally Set Forth by Famous
Preacher
Mix Reich, famous as a writer
and preacher among Friends, and a
convert from Judaism to Christian
ity, lelivered a lecture here Monday
night on the past and future of the
Jewish race. Max Reich is a charm
ing speaker with a fine command of
the English language and a remark
able knowledge of his subject and
his hearers followed him with deep
interest.
Ai:ter speaking of the great weight
of the Jewish yoke, and the
iveness which the people have main
tained he took up the constructive
contributions of the race. They have
contributed our idea of God, the be
li f in the sacredness of the fam-
they have shown that history
s; cred and that God's hand is ev
il here in it. The spiritual inter
pretations of Judaism was developed
during the exile. Orthodox Judaism
i a rabinnical substitute for Chris
tianity. The young Jew is rigidly
trained. The acknowledgement of
one iod becomes part of his nature.
The consciousness of sin is deeply
bred in the race. A Jew considers
that he is now an exile because of
his bins. But the Sabbath is a day
of c ieer. Meals are shared. The
sacred candles are lighted. The
Song of Solomon is sung. The poor
Jew hurrying home Friday evening
may appear as an object of scorn
during his working days, but at
home all is different. There he is a
king and a priest. The Jews love
their wives after and not before mar
riage. Marriages are arranged by
the parents.
Tbts speaker gave a graphic ac
count of the various Jewish feasts,
ib( mes of fasting and the day on
whir 1 a young Jew became respon
se i! 'or his actions. The Black feast
WJ,S described and the wailing place
in Jerusalem, commemorating the
9th day of Ab, when the temples
were destroyed. By a remarakble
coincidence Allenby delivered Jeru
salem 011 the same day that it was
delivered by Judas Maccabaeus.
The speaker concluded with an ac
count of the Zionest movement and
the aspiration to establish again an
independent Jewish nation in Jeru
salem. The Jewish nation, he said,
has been officially recognized.
MISS GIFFEN, Y. W. C. A. SEC
RETARY, VISITS GUILFORD
The Y. W. C. A. was very fortu
nate in having Miss Giffen, Y. W.
C. A. Secretary, speak on Thursday
evening. She brought with her an
inspiring message from the outside
world. Miss Giffen said that the
world was new because of the many
changes which had taken place in
the last few years. "Reconstruc-
