BIBLE STUDY GROUPS
This situation is set forth in the
story of the two ranchmen, Abraham
and Lot. Abraham brought his young
nephew, Lot, with him to Canaan.
They became ranchers on the plains.
As their herds grew they faced the
problem of supply and demand. The
water, like the sugar in Chapel Hill,
was scarce. So Abraham's men and
Lot's men came into conflict over the
water supply. One morning Abra
ham's men got up ahead and got to
the well first. Next morning Lot's
won out and bad blood was stirred
up. The efficiency programme was
worked to a finish. Efficiency aims
at results, only. It aims at putting
an interest across. But life is big
ger than any interest and if we stop
there we are going to have trouble.
The efficiency stage is the stage of
drama, with its collision and conflict.
It's this way, our world is a world
of types. You belong to your type
and have its interests at heart. I be
long to mine and cherish its inter
ests. You're a Scotchman, I'm a
Presbyterian. You're a Virginian,
I'm a Carolinian. Now as long as we
don't see beyond our type there's
nothing for us but deadlock. I push
my interests no matter who or what
stands in my way and you'll do the
same thing. Hence deadlock. But
life includes both your interests zfnd
mine, and if we are anxious to live as
well as to take sides we will not only
push our individual interests but be
interested in the other man's interests.
Nature, where only the interests of
the type prevail, is the scene of strug
gle for existence in which one type
puts it over the other. The ant fights
for its ant hill, the bear for its cubs,
the dog for its kennel. But the hu
man being has more in him than his
type. In him is life. In other words,
the human being, according to Abra
ham and Jesus and experience, has
the God element in him and has the
ability therefor to rise above the type
and illustrate God as well as the type.
That is to say, he can plant himself
on what is true and right and lovely.
That's God and in that lies the hope
of civilization. Life isn't portrayed
at its best in the drama for the
drama presents us with only types
of life in conflict. Our story of the
two ranchmen gives us a better illus
tration of our life for it presents us
not merely with the conflict between
types but shows us the way out. It
leaves the individual happy ever af
terwards. Abraham and Lot had their drama.
Their herdsmen wanted the drama to
&a on and the strong man to win out.
Abraham turned the drama into a
short storv. "Let us live." he said
"Life is bigger than my interests or
yours or than both of our interests
together. Let us live, e. g., let us get
at the true and right and seemly thing
to do that's God and that's living
and then we will fuse our individual
' interests in the larger interest that
blends, transcends them all." It was
the get-together, the Jesus principle;
and as in the story always they lived
together happily ever afterwards.
What kind of a fan would Abraham
be if he were here? He'd recognize
that the game was three things
Carolina, the opposing team, and life.
Abraham would live the game. If
the opposing team won he would get
joy out of all the good plays on both
sides, wishing all the time that Caro
lina had won, provided he was a Caro
linian. If Carolina won he'd cheer
for every good play of the other
team. So he'd watch the game not as
a sectarian but as a Christian fan.
God doesn't take sides. He's the liv
ing God and being such He is on both
sides. So Virginia has just as good
a right to pray as Carolina and as
good ' a right to . expect God to help
her; and the Abraham man watching
the game gets his pleasure out of the
game as a game as well as out of the
interest he has in a side, and no mat
ter who wins he hasn't lost out.
Your home is allowed so much su
gar. The other homes in America
are allowed so much sugar. You can
dodge the censor and get ahead of
the other home. That's to fight for
your type of home as against the
other type. It's the cat and the dog
world you're living in, not the hu
man. Abraham would say: "Let's do
the right thing," which would mean
"Let's take what belongs to us and
leave the other household what be
longs to it." He would ask: "Whose
sugar is this?" then he would say:
"Render unto yourself you being for
the time Caesar the things that are
yours and unto God the things that
belong to Him."
A woman wants a cook. So she of
fers her neighbor's cook a larger
wage than she is getting and takes
her home. Abraham's wife might
do that if she were here. Abraham
wouldn't.
You are in discussion with another
man. You take sides. Abraham
would have his side but would want
to get at your point of view rather
than beat you out in argument. Truth
is three things: your view, the other
man's view, and that which i3 more
and common to both. Abraham would
work on that. Some folk, like the
herdsmen of Abraham and Lot, try
to pre-empt the well of truth and shut
off the others from getting any water.
Discussions, Does Abraham's point
of view call for a weak or a strong
man ? Take up the phrases "Sup
ply and demand" and "Struggle for
existence and survival of the fittest."
Who is the fittest? What's efficien
cy? How about party politics and
sectarianism in religion? What is
loyalty.

300 HIGH SCHOOLS TO
TAKE PART IN THE HIGH
SCHOOL DEBATING UNION
(Continued from Page 1)
the literary societies of the univer
sity at the suggestion of C. E. Mc
intosh, a former intercollegiate de
bater of the university. In 1917 and
1918 more than 300 schools in the
state debated, and an average of 80,
000 persons has heard the de
bates each year. Durham high school
won last year and Wilson has won
twice, though not consecutively. A
school winning twice in succession ob
tains permanent possession of the Ay
cock memorial cup, donated by form
er intercollegiate debaters of the uni
versity. N. W. Walker is chairman
of the committee in charge and E.
R. Rankin is secretary.
From the library of the late Col.
A. B. Andrews, of Raleigh, a trustee
of the University for many years and
Vice-President of the Southern Rail
way, the University library has re
ceived a gift of approximately 750
volumes and 500 pamphlets. Included
in the gift is much rare and valuable
material on railroad history in North
Carolina, on State history and books
written by North Carolinians, and on
the early history of the University.
The present gift is a continuation of
the generosity of the Andrews family
which has already enabled the Uni
versity to complete its files of some
of the State newspapers.
