Because there Is a Divine Archi tect there is voins to lie a perfect tem ple. Ue-uuse there is a Divine Artist there is (.'"ii'ii to be the blossoming of use Into beauty. Because there is a Divine Dramatist the things that arc dark aud bidden hi the first act will become Jiht an J, clear In the last. In dividuals, cities, stutes and races are all under Divine guidance; the whole world is marching, keeping step to un heard' music, following invisible sig nals, but Journeying upward 'and for ward toward perfect righteousness, unity and love. After many centuries at last science and industry begin to strike the ote of unity in the realm .of knowlscfce, iaw end industry., .Geology emphasizes the unity of the. 6trata and the layers of rock that in our -continent advance from vegetable life to low animal, and finally to the era of man, are layers that are reproduced in the same order In Asia, and Africa 'and Australia. Astronomy teecbes unity. If tne earth goes round the sun for Isaac Newton In England the astronomer in Tokyo and in Calcutta will perceive' the same law of gravity. Physiology insists upon Um unity of the five races. Ths Difference' On of Development The difference In art or science or re ligion la s difference In the stage of development Toe Hottentot daubs ocber and red paint ufwn his cheek, but put the savage int the art school of Parts and he comes to discern the same universal laws. The savage has fcU stone altar, his clay idol, but with edu cation he cries out as did the cannibal Africanus to David Livingstone, "1 felt him in my heart, I saw him In the sky, but I did not know what to call him or what to say in my prayer." n Greenland the Eskimos have a dwarf maple, found in the protected crev ices on the southern side of the moun tain, and the maple Is about one foot high. Carry that same dwarf ma ple Into our sunny reulm and it unfolds Into a forest wbo3e trunk gives the sugar sap aud hi whose boughs birds will build their nests. Conscience is dwarfed and starred among the sav ages of Africa and the south sea is lands, but wbeu the true apostle comes, like the Itomau centurion, the soul makes the instant reply. Soon or late, therefore, there is to be a world unity one Lord, one Fit her. one law of love, one Golden Rule, one hope of a life Im mortal where the tncomplettoae hers wUl be completed. Invention end toience Working Tswawtj unity. The time was when alJ forces worked toward national isolation, racial hats and separation. Mountains became barriers between peoples. Blvers sep arated races; oceans Isolated capitals; frontier lines bristled with forte. Fa. triogsm meant "love toe people- oa this 1 side of the river, hate tne people os that side-'' Now comes a century when Invention, science, trade and Ananas break down toe barriers and draw peo ples together into nutty. ' The steam ship has' sll but Ailed up the Atlanta ocean; wireless telegraphy tarns the whole world Into a vast wbtapeetagl gallery; shirts are become camera of the ideas that leaven separated nation.

It is lelleved tliat 8,uX0,000 of people were crowded within New York and Brooklyn S.iHirt.OiiO of folk with but one voice, stmO.OitO of patriots with Nut one mind and one heart, and tLat mind thinking of the heroism of France in the hour wlttfi she saved democ racy at the Iwtt'e of the Mame, while with simple eloq'jenee Joffre exclaimed to the bluck hoFts of au invading army: "Here stay thy proud waves! Thus far, and do farther!" In ull lands and in every story the path of duty h tlie way to glory. To every noble boy of every race und country there couies a moment wbm tlie angel whtepers, "Thou nrust !" arid the youth replies, "I can!" And In that spirit offre told his boys to hold the lines or die. It is very simple, Imt it is also divine, and the deep things lu every American heart answer to the deep things of God exhibited by the French loys at the front. Dehording their heroism and self sacrifice lu defending liberlv, In dependence and self government con science whlsjters that this is our oppor tunity and also our obligation, aud the common duty has drawn France and America together .Into a unity of self sacrifice, and the sacrament of suffer ing has made the two countries one tnrvermore. The new treaty a writ ten In letters of blood. England and the United States Drawn . . Closer. The common devotion of fcugland and the United States to the sanctity of their treaties with Belgium and the common recognition of the obligation' of the strong and rich nations to safe guard the little peoples has become a powerful Influence uniting England and America. The ovation to the French mission was an ovation given to a soldi or and was of the heart; the ovation given to Mr. Balfour and his English associates wss tendered to a Bcholar-Rtatesman, and the tribute was from the intellect and the conscience. England has bad many statesmen from the days of Pitt, Peel nnd Gladstone to Lloyd George and Salisbury orators and scholars and empire builders but in terms of intellect, in terms of a great logic engine. In terms of power to think in the language, not of Eng land alone, but of the globe, and not of time, but of eternity and tne uni verse, Mr. Balfour's massive mind and books make some of England's most popular orator-statesmen seem like children. Whether you read his ad dresses or listened to his words so carefully enunciated and with sen tences extempore, and yet carved with the perfection of the cameo, you lis tened or read with an ever increasing sense of admiration. . BaKour't Breadmindsdnesa. What dignity in his address! What elevation of thought! With what de tachment from the personal, the ra tional or the ra:i& he weighs in his addresses the interests of all human ity and all civilization! This man is considering the interests of the whole human family as well ae those of England and her allies. He does not talk about trivial matters, placing the responsibility upon Servia because ont ef her crary sons killed an Austrian duke,- nor.' upon Ruesls because she lined up with the Servian and the Slav, nor upon 'France because She had a treaty with Bussia. nor npon England because f her pledged word to stand -With Beighwp if her frontier was In vsded: there was no shouting about the greatness of England and the Unit ed States, do pride of wealth, no boast ing of army or navy; ft was rather a noble patrician gentleman weighing the interests of the children of God m the right of eternal truth and eternal Jostle.

Statements). It was not a-case . of simple, adven- tarous ambition to rule the world, bttt If was aa. organization of all science and all Invention for the sole purpose of making war so horrible and atro cious that all little lands would pros trate themselves while the German war machine ground them into the 'mire. Dr. Fritz i'hllippl in a sermon deliv ered hi tlie cathedral of Berlin sum marized the conflict between Germany und the tree peoples thus: ''Germany's divine ni'ssiiin !s to eruilfy humanity. German wa-r'oi-s shed the blood of other nations us a sacred duty. It Is therefore the dvty of German soldiers to strike blows of merciless violence. Our hearts are full of thankfulness when our engines of war In the air strike down the sons of Satan and when our wonderful submarine sends thou, amis of the unelect to the bottom of the sea. We must tight the wicked by i'.i: possible means. Their suffer ing' must p'.ease us. Their cries of un guisli must will upon deaf German ears. No ijiuiMer for the English and the French and the ltussian." Revival of th Tribal God Idea. Professor Itelnhold Siefferd of the t'nlverslty of Berlin, in his sermon in the cathedral of Berlin, which lie saut ou. to his friends lu Sweden, Denmark and Switzeiland, draws the Issue be tween German barbarism and the wood's rivilbatlon: "When we kill our enemSej, when we inflict untold suffering on them, when we burn their homes and overrun their territories, we are performing a labor of love." Here you have the tribal god idea, which tlie rest of the world, save polygamous Turkey and certain Asiatic and Af rican people, left behind 100 to 2,000 years ago. What an absence also of Imagination is shown! The simple fact Is that except In rare individuals the German people as a race have no im agination. There Is no German school of art there never has been. The mas ters are Italian, French, Dutch, Span ish and English. Many of the great German masters of music are Hebrew, with German names. It Ls the He brew's blood that sings in Heine and other German poets. Now World Ideals Are Unifying ths Race. The new ideuls for the world after the war is over are influencing and drawing men together. Already great men are planning for the rebuilding of Europe. Just us the men of Chicago and .San Francisco dr?w their plans for a more beautiful city before the ashes were cold after the great fires so the imtriots and statesmen are dreaming their dreams of a new social order. They have highly resolved that this horror shall never be repeated. Never again shall Germany be allowed to maintain a standing army and forge cannon preparatory to pursuing war as a national industry that she can make pay a thousand per cent. The free peo ples of the earth, represented by over twenty republics, now control nine tenths of the land and 1,100.000,000 of people. The motto of the free peoples ls "Liberty, independence, self govern ment" They hold war to be an out rage against civilization and the enemy of the home, the store, the factory, the field and the bank.- War hates art; war hates the temples of beauty, of love and religion; war Is as cruel as death add as remorseless as the grave. War also is an outrage upon humanity. In Germany's hymn of bate there are the poison of the rattlesnake, the snarl of the hyena, the cruelty of the savage. Future International Unity. Already the free peoples are prepar ing plans to compel peace. At last all the self governing nations stand to gether. They proiiose to have an inter national navy policing the 6eas; an in ternational army policing the land; an international supreme court that in terms of international law shall decide upon disputes between Germany and Belgium. No more standing armies; sever again shall Germany's army and Germany's dreadnaugbts compel other nations to bear huge taxes to protect themselves against Germany. Kaisers and emjierors and sultans and Von Blndenburgs must go. The world has no room for such men. God never made a mau who had a right to arro gate to himself what the kaiser claims the right to tell editors what they shall publish, reformers what tbey shall think, orators what tbey shall say. From this time on any attempt on the part of Germany or Austria to build up a standing army and prepare for war is going to be taken as a declara tion of war In advance, and the whole force of the 1,100,000,000 of free and self governing people will unite to put down the beginnings of a standing army. All our statesmen are planning for nonmilltary coercion. It Germany again attempts militarism the free peo ples will shut her ships out of all har bors, close all clearing bouses to ber drafts, prohibit the buying of her goods or selling her goods to others and, like Cain, send ber out as an outlaw Into the desert Better Days te Come. 1 But better days are coming. Soon! our boys will be at the front, while all defend the liberties that all have en joyed. It may be that we will leave a; million of our best sons oa the hill sides of France and with red rain feed the roots of the tree ot liberty. With out shedding of blood there is so re-' mission of sins. Ws buy at great price freedom of our children's children, bat soon or late the battle will be over and the victory won aud the last strong hold of militarism and autocracy lev eled to the earth. Too cannot stay the summer riding in the chariots of the south wind. When the tide comes in It. is irresistible. Trumpets and banners: cannot avail against luflntte God lead ing the hosts of his eulldren toward the heights. The duty of the hour-W self sacrifice, a whole hearted support of the government, utter, loyalty, a sur render of the will, a grim determination that we will stay the band of barba . rism, safeguard democracy, strengthen ouri alliances with the free and self governing peoples and do all that in ns lies to achieve and cherish a Just and honorable peace between ourselves and all other nations and so hand oh a civi lization that ls free to the peoples of theeaoth. A WORD FOR MOTHERS It is a grave mistake for mothers to neg lect their aches and pains and suffer ta silence this only leads to chronic sick ness and often shortens life. If your work is tiring; if your nerves are excitable: if you feel languid, weary or depressed, you should know that Scott's Emulsion overcome just such conditions. It possesses in concentrated form the very elements to invigorate the blood, strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves and build strength. Scott's is strengthening thousands of mothers end will help yon. No alcohol. Scott a Bowse. Bloomfield. N. J. Argument Falls Flat Robert E. Jloton, principal of Tus- kegee Institute, in a letter recently sent broadcast over the country as signs the cause of the exodus of the negroes' to the North to lynchings and race discriminations Tn the South and that higher wages offer no inducement whatever."" "Jloton evidently has much to learn. A bad negro in the South can also be a 'bad negro in the North and will be and a negro can be ns good m the South as m the North. Those who behave themselves in th2 South are a prosperous and industrious lot and have no cause for complaint. Those who do not go to jail or the county roads occasionally. The race not in fcast fat. Louis, in., last week in itself proves the fallacy of the argument advanced by Moton and his advisers. The negro started something in that Northern city and soon learned that the whites in the North ere well up on lynching and the like. All of this is to be deplored. Lynchmgs are growing fewer in the South every year. There were only 14 lynchirgs in the South the first six months of this year as compared to 25 for the same period last year and 34 in 1915. The South is the place for the color ed man. The Southerner understands him as does no other man and no peo ple respect the negro more in his place than Southern people. Constipation and Indigestion "I have used Chamberlain's Tablets and must says that they are the best I have ever used lor constipation ana indigestion. My wife also used them for indigestion and they did her good,' writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilmington, N. C. Chamberlain's Tablets are mild and irentle in their action. Give them a trial. You are certain to be pleased with the agreeable laxative effect which they produce. Obtainable every where. The Tax Commission The personnel of the State Tax Commission appointed by Governor Bickett last week is as follows: James H. Pou of Raleigh, lawer and landown er; Henry A. Page of Aberdeen, farm er and banker; Frank A. Linney of Boone, Republican, lawyer and former candidate for Governor; W. Vance Brown of Asheville, born in New Zea land, but a native of North Carolina for thirty years, a, tax student; J. Zeh Green of Marshville, editor and Farm ers' Unios organiser. France Observes Fourth of July All France celebrated the fourth of July with crowds, interest, and enthu siasm never surpaised. The center of the celebration in Paris was a bcUalion of American soldiers about to leave for training behind the lines. Every where the American flag was flying' and around the khaki-clad men of America was grouped a profusion of trophies of War taken from the Ger mans. In :he chapel before tho tomb of Napoleon, General Pershing receiv ed American flags and banners from General Poincare. French bands play ed the Star Spangled Banner. Taking Big Chances It is a great risk to travel without a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chole ra and Diarrhoea Remedy, as this preparation cannot be obtained on the train or steamships. Attacks of bow el complaint are often sudden and very severe, and everyone should go pre pared for them. Obtainable every where. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy Everv family without exception. should keep this preparation at hand during the hot weather of the summer months. Chamberlain's Colic.

Uncle Sam Baa No Fear of Subma rines The good news came from the Navy Department last week that the last of the American transports carrying our soldiers had safely urived at a French port Secretary Daniels also reported that the transports were twice attack- . ed by German submarines.
