C. THURSDAY.JuIy 4, 1946 Montreat Training School Opened Tuesday Night 0 Several leaders in religious edu cation work in the Presbyterian Church in the United States are enrolled here this week for the annual Montreat Leadership Train ing School which opened Tuesday night and will continue through noon next Thursday July 11, with Dr. Patrick H. Carmichael, Rich mond, Va., as director. This school is conducted under the auspices of the executive com mittee of Religious Education and Publication of the General Assemb ly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, of which Dr. Edward D. Grant is the executive secretary. The school opened Tuesday night and classes were organized the following morning. Each day’s ses sion starts with a unique worship service to which the students pro ceed immediatly after breakfast. There is no conversation after Gaither Hall is entered, and silent ly the worshippers find seats and remain silent until the service is ended. — BILL HILL SAYS If you talk about your troubles And tell them o’er and o’er, The world will think you like ’em And proceed to gi.e you more. Dr. Wallace M. Alston, pastor of Druid Hills Presbyterian Church, Atlanta opened the worship ser vices Wednesday morning and will continue as leader of this period throughout the school. Dr. Alston was the inspirational speaker Wednesday night, when his subject was “What is ahead for the Church?” He based his ser mon on the text, “Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail a gainst it.” (Matthew 16:18) Said he, “I believe that in the decade before us the church is going to face a desperate conflict against powers and principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wicked ness in high places. This opposi tion will show itself through a re surgence of nationalism and isola tionism, through racialism and class strife, through opposition to the missionary enterprise, through Godless materialism, through nar row secterianism. I believe we would be blind and inexcusably stupid not to face the fact that the Church has ahead of her a critical period of opposition from the forc es on the outside.” In conclusion he said. “I am con fident that it is God’s will that the Church shall be ecumenical; that is, it will stretch across all barriers and bind together all who serve Chr’st sincerely.lt will be a church that is practical, evangelical, con cerned with the gospel of a Re deemer who can make men dif ferent and change human society from center to circumference. God does not require another instru ment. He can and will purge the Church of dross and lift the Church by His power for the accomplish ment of His purposes on earth. C. W. Tillet, an attorney of Charlotte, will give the address Thursday night, speaking on the “United Nations Up To Date,” and again on Friday night he will 'oeak on “The Place of Law In Achieving Peace.” g'V.p school will continue through Thursday. July 11.

(The slide was the gift of Nancy Doherty.) The promised tarpaulin was put up. As the pool was being filled, the children enjoyed making “fairy fountains” and rainbows. They found “no ashes on (their) slide,” although it was not as slick as glass.” They laughed and sang merrily (“not casting the old aside.)” for “See Saw Margery Daw” rang out in great glee. The children learned how the wasps, the first paper-makers, made the paper and then built their nests. Each was given a part of the big “Nest” to take home for “keeps.” In their wild-flower plot they planted the spotted winter-green with its wax-like flowers and mottled leaves. Several of the children mention ed that they had made scrap-books for the “Nature Studies” that have been in the News and that they had enjoyed the wild-flower illustrations in the window of the Black Mountain Drug Co- These will continue as Mr. and Mrs. Carter Uzzelle are eager to have a part in this method of instruct ing and giving pleasure to the children and the scouts. Thte summer likewise have expressed their appreciation of this opportunity to see and to study the native flowers. This week, we wish to express our thanks to Mr. Monroe Owens for giving his “rest hours” that the pool might be cleaned and the tarpaulin stretched so that the children would not be disappoint ed; to Linda McGraw and Joan Biddix for heir help in washing out the pool—quite an arduous undertaking for young children; to George Blanton, for raking all the leaves and trash and carrying all off by the basket-load, —a: tiresome job which he would not leave until finished, although the pool was most inviting. We are most appreciative of the donations made this week by Mes dammes Joe Williams, Ruth L. and’ J. M. Woodcock, and Carter Uz zelle. Mrs. Uzzelle’s was given l in grateful acknowledgement of the privalege granted the children of “our soldiers”—the free use of the playground the past two years, while visiting their fathers during the “recreation period. Again, we wish to mention, with' gratitude. that Mr. Ernest White 1 has gladly turned over to us the 1 propertv we use, without which 1 we would have no playground.
