“A PRAYER”
Washington, D. C., Oct. 30, 1919
Rev. Chalmers Chapman,
Brevard, N. C.
My dear Rev. Chapman:
I want to add my hearty endorse
ment to the movement now under
way to make Sewanee a greater fac
tor than ever in the Southern field of
education.
The fact that it is a church school
and teaches a belief in the justice and
mercy of God and in that divine
philosophy of God-Fathcrhood and of
Man-Brohtcrhood which Christ at
tempted to instill into the hearts of
all of us, is an additional reason at
this particular moment why it ought
to be supported and why its influence
ought to be extended.
The worlil is still shuddering at the
demonstration which (lermany has
made of “Scientific Civilization”—
Godless and Cristian—attempting to
substitute for the religion of Jesus
of Nazareth, a sort of medieval Wo
den aiui Thor worship, intermingled
with a materialistic science based up
on the false idea that the “survival
of the fittest” amongst human being
is analogous to the ‘‘survival of the
fittest” amongst brutes; and this
ought to make us all think of the im
portance of keeping up some connec
tion between God and man in the ed
ucation of succeeding generations.
The doctrine of the survival of the
fittest docs apply to man just as it
docs to tigers, and snakes and foxes;
but the difference is that the fittest
amongst tigers is the most tigerest,
the fittest ai;iongst serpents is the
most poisonout;, and the fittest among-
foxes is the most cunning. The fit
test amongst human beings ought to
be the most human*.
Kor must we forget that the very
name, “University of the South sug
gests that “the South” faces a new
era and has an important part in the
work of soc'al reorganization. I, for
one, have rover known any “New
•South”; I Icnow only the same Old
'vSouth, and I want its lea lers to be
like the tra.’itional leaders of the
South a^vays have been—men of
high ideal?-, of honest purpose, of
noble instincts, of gentlemanly con
duct, even -ho they were not always
men of c’oar inright into the future
of the world.
An alnmnus of the University of
the SouMi 1 lyself, althoucrh I spent a
very short vime there, I earnestly be
speak for her, for her work and for
her mission, your full consideration
and your help.
I am, with expression of regard.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.
THE PRAYER
Almijihty Father, we ask Thy bless
ings upon our University and upon
all wdio labor within her precincts.
Raise v.n, we pray Thee, within our
hcra'ts tiie dt-oire to contribute to the
wo’'k which she is accomplishing for
the rising generation. Give the spirit
of wisdom to those to whom authority
is given to lead in the many activities
of University life. Especially we ask
Thy blessing upon the campaign for
endorsement, that those who give may
devote their irifts to Thy service and
that: tiij iru ^ of the givin .,' may glor
ify Thy K j y name, through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen.

J. Z. Stroupe, Anderson Galloway,
and Ex Sims made a raid on block-
aders in the Big Cain break section
on Friday of last week and destroyed
about 400 gallons of beer and all the
fixtures except still and condenser.
These men also made a raid in Que
bec section on the Clayton and Owen
flume line Saturday night and was ac
companied by R. K. Powell. Sims
got lost from Galloway and Stroupe
but they found and destroyed the
plant and about 200 gallons of beer
and eight of ten bushels of mash but
failed to get the still and condenser.
While they were destroying the plant
several unknown persons fired on
officers and several shots were ex
changed but no one was hurt so far
as it is known. Mr. Powell and Sims
got lost from the others and were
not in the shooting.
It is a great deal more improtant
to understand than to remember.
