This September 25th, 1922. J. D. BRIDGER, Mortgagee. STANLEY WINBORNE, Attorney. 10-7-22-4L _.A \ - WHO IS TO BLAME 7 Mr. Lloyd George said, recently that neither be nor any other man war reaponaible for the failure of several recent economic conferences held in different cities of Europe, but that Chas- Wesley was the man really to blame. Wesley, be said, was the greatest human leader in the spiritual revival that came in England and swept over the island and thence in a great wave to the group of English speaking people in America. Eng land's revolution was spiritual, Fiance's^ political. France and Italy did not share in this spiritual revival hence the French and Italian repre sentatives found themselves utterly at variance with the English in their ideals and aspirations. As we see it England certainly has not always played the part of an altriust since the great Wesley lived and wrought in her land and yet we believe there is a great deal of truth in what Mr- Uoyde George says. France has certainly blocked every movement toward bringing order out of chaos that has been made in recent months. Vengeance and greed rath er than gratitude seem to be the dom inant national characteristic. Those who expected to see a chastened, puri fied France emerge from thd fires of war have been disappointed. But is France alone in this reap set 7 Henry Cabot Lodge and bis little group of wilful senators were able to defeat the League of Latlona and drag America from her high place as moral and spiritual leader of the na tions. Why? Because in our own country there is in a leaser dagree, to be sure, that tame difference in ideals and apirationa that Lloyd George says exists between the English and conti nentals. Sfilflak illtaMats nntUVaaJ A? eJein ?'II --www-www vpfvuvu WW !??"? human* rights, party pat above princi ple, might arrayed against dight? these broke* the health and well nigh the heart of Woodrow Wilson. Wood row Wilson failed,Lloyd George has failed, because so large a part of the civilised world is as yet spiritually blind. The sick world waits and whn Vers and grows worse daily. The remedy? An acceptance of the prin ciples laid down by the Gallilean Teacher nearly two thousand years ago. We suspect that the suffering will be .long drawn out but we have no doubt about the final result. About seventy counties in North Carolina now have farm demonstra tion agents. The other thirty need this service, especially those in boll weevil territory. ) PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR PARENT-TEACHEJtS ASSO. Meeting to be held Friday, 7:30 p. m., October 20tt 1.
