Senator Borah'a place in the party i founcils well known. Now, as for yriifuy yours. he is a factor"which the' party cannot afford to ignore. It should be remembered that he was VreMtient Coolidge's first choice for' vice president in .111154.

No ie>s person than Mark Sullivan, highly respected Washington political writer, says of Dr. Butler: 4*lh\ Bpth r is no mere case Of a university president taking an amateur fling in -politics.

As to the relied tiled debate with Keriatqr Borah, Dr. Butler states, simply: "1 am ready to discuss the, attempt to enforce national prohibition by constitutional amendment. The federal constitution was defaced y and deformed by the addition of the eighteenth amendment and its pas-j sage effected the beginning of a revolution in the American form of j federal government.

Hope For World Peace | Willi*m T. Ellis Says in Brilliant Address ?i Winston-Smlem Last Week "World peace- must come from Bible lands through Bible principles, and Bible beliefs, through the great principles of peace and liberty enunciated and scattered thro ighout the world by ^Wpotlrow Wilson, the great Southern president, who fought and-died fo?' the eau?e of poaFe on earth,'* declared Dr. William T. Ellis of Swanhmore. Pennsylvania, author of the Intel-national Sunday School lesson, who delivered an address in the West End Methodic church. Winston-Salem, last Wednesday high!. The subject of Dr. Ellis' address was "Adventures and Explorations in Bible Lands." The Journal gives the following synopsis of the address: "Powers are now behaving in the Near East zs badly as the German Kaiser ever did. Imperialism is trying today to subdue the people of the Bible lands; today the great powers of the earth are trying to get hold of the Bible land- It is my deliberate judgment that the United States of America wield? a greater power over the people of Bible lands than any emperor in all ages ever did who ruled over them The great ideals of the Bible have been spread over the world by a man of your own south, one of your own statesmen; American war aims as set up by Wilson have set Bible lands afire, that spirit of friendliness, that spirit of brotheilinesa. They cannot understand liberty coming from anywhere but America through her great president. "I witnessed that great revolution in Egypt that swept over all organized force when tremendous bodies of men rnd women went up and down the streets abouting the great hoaannas heaping praises upon the head of Woodrow Wilson, for they misunderstood a telegram sent to Genera! Aiionby. thinking it n me:sage from Wilson to set them free. Believing peace and liberty hud come from America's great war president these hordes of people broke every restraint and shout and screamed, crying aloud their praises for America for deliverance. They are today setting their standards to the war uims of America enunciated by Wilson. They say America is the greatest power on the globe and they cannot understand why this country does, not ns.unie its rightful place and make Europe behave. "Impending world war that .soon may break out and sweep its devastating fire across Bible lands looks to America to prevent it. Today the world looks to America to accept its Clod-given place of leadership for route statesman to rise in this land and affirm the old Bible principles and turn back the dogs of war that are about to bo turned loose. Oh. if America just had stepped up and told Italy to keep hands off when that, country fired upon the Greeks; if America only had stepped in when France fired on Macedonia and told that country thai we could not stand toi that; if America only had stepped in ami told Great Britain recently that we are brothers and we must not violate, the peace of the world, then America wmm have assumed her place in the sun." For an hour Dr. Ellis told graphically and most intcrestigniy 01 his ten months' Lour pi' the Bible and declared with much force and emphasis that the Bible is not a hitand-miss Book, but that every page of history, every incident cited m the Bible is proven by actual living examples; instead of being vague ami incoherent, is linked up perfectly from one end of Bible land to the other The Bible came out of a great imperial city 2,000 years before Abraham. The Bible is right in all of its time and chronology, all of its dates and all of if incidents. He declared there had never been a secular corroboration .:C Luke's story of the census of AiiomsL'us that brouirht Joseph and Mary down to Bethlehem for the birth of the Babe. But he had visited the very tombs and temples of Augtrtas, who ruled the world when acsus v.nr. horn as the first empercr of Home. At the end of his life Aufufftur. wrote his political autobiogr:.pl y and engraved it on the walls of the temple; there lociay can be soon this story of the life of Augustus engraved in three gre.,t panels of the temple, written in Greek; it tells UGA Newspaper, Devoted to th< ' " -====^~^====x=S: NE.

Dr. Ellis said he had search ed through three continents for proo: of Luke's story of the census an< 1 there on the wails of the temple hi found where Augustus told of th< j first, second and third census. "And so it's on down the line," hi j declared. There is nothing in tht : Bible that cannot bo proven by i j visit or a trip through Bible lands "Nothing more important is that thi Bible is the best authenticated history that has come from ancient times It is saturated end flavored with th< very soi: from whence it. came. Ai other books of other religions seem U i soar somewhere up hi the air. Bu I the Bible is a book of places, writ era were so certain that they spoke 01 j geographical lines.

All conquerors from the beginning down to the kaiser centered their activities in the Bible lands Imperialism in all its power began in Bible lands and if anyone had any doubt of the imperialism of God let | him go to the scenes of Bible vritlirigs. He told of a visit to Jerusalem and found there a great temple ! erected by the German people, and standing in front of it is a statue of the kaiser uivsved as a crusader and ali over the walls- are paintings of imperialism. The kaiser knew full well what imperialism has meant to Bible lands. Dr. Ellis told of his visit to Mount Sinai and there just as the Bible tells < tc, mere is me mount rising straight ; up into the air, not slanting and | sloping as the mountains here do. and lying before it is a great tableau on which the children of Israel remained while Moses went up on the mount. ] He said he searched until he found the ; very rocks which Moses struck and out of which pure water came gushing for the children of Israel and today water is still gushing forth out from the rock. Coining down to Paul, the speaker declared that the great apostle was not blazing any new path in a wilderness but was following a well known route; Paul hud been a great reader of Homer and loving his poems was hunting out the Trey that Homer spoke of, and he declared if you follow Paul closely you will learn a lot more about camels and tobacco than you know here; and he found I the seven wells still flowing at Beersheba. and the trip to the scenes of the seven churches mentioned in Revelations; he also walked on the very stone pavement on which Paul trod, 011 which John who laid his head or. Jesus' bosom trod on which Barnabas walked.
