Hardin Was Speaker At Junaluska Address Made At Young Ministers And Chaplains Session o Lake Junaluska, N. C., Aug. 29 Rev. Grady Hardin, of Black Mountain, was among the speak ers at the session of young minis ters and chaplains conference. The Rev. Mr. Hardin, after por traying the present international situation from the political view point, called attention to signs of encouragement as evidenced by attempts of UN to get together, and outlined what he believed to tbe the function of the church in the international scene. He said in part: “The church must bring the consciousness of the statemen who write the international char ter up to hear the voice of God and to know the way of life that will enable them to search out the will of God. The function of the church is not to be an economist but to touch the ecoonomist that he may work out the will of God in Christian international reja tions. We need to reaffirm our faith that the way to overcome evil is with good. We need to keep in mind that international rela tions from the standpoint of the church are influenced by our do mestic relations. The things we do in America touch the entire world.” Fence Row Philosophy From The Grange Monthly Mandv an’ me never hunted buf faloes so this part ov the story iz frum hearsay. Howsumever, ’tis sed that when a wolf pack attack a herd ov buffaloes them big ani mals would bunch together and them on the outside—the old buf faloes—would stand with head and horns outward making a per tective ring around the rest. Them wolves jist didn’t git nowhere a ginst that ring ov horns. Them buffaloes stuck together! The buffalo that got pulled down by the wolf pack was the one that strolled off by itself, er the ones that couldn’t keep up with the herd. Them that stuck to gether wuz safe. Might be a purty good lesson in them buffaloes fer farmers an’ lots ov folks. Stickin’ together an’ workin’ together iz mighty good filosofy if folks mix sum good sense with their stickin’ and workin’. Your old neighbor, Farmer John.

Miller, Chief of the Army Chaplains Corps, from Washington, D. C., appealed to a luncheon assembl age of prominent Southern churchmen, of all religious faiths, at the Ansley Hotel, Atlanta, Ga., recently to use the power of the pulpit in overcoming adverse pub licity regarding the moral lives of Army personnel particularly over seas. “The occasion exception appears to make news”, said General Mil ler. “What the public needs to know is the general rule, which is that most Army personnel at home and abroad go to church more while in the service than they did in civilian life. The wholesome life of the Army provides every possible care of the spiritual needs of its men and women. The Chap lains took excellent care of the men during the War and will con tinue to do the same during peace. The tremendous prestige gained by Army Chaplains during the war will continue, for the same type of Chaplains will be there during peace. Mothers of young men en listing or reenlisting in the New Army need have no fear, for their spiritual welfare will be well taken care of”, he continued. “Tremendous numbers of Army personnel are taking advantage of the sight-seeing tours arranged for them by tbe Army overseas, as well as using their spare time going to the interesting churches”, said General Miller, who recently appeared on the Lowell Thomas national radio hook-up. “The Army recreation and ath letic programs are the finest in the world. Unsurpassed libraries and well-retained and selected lib rary staffs give immeasurable as sistance to the young people fol lowing special courses of study while in the service. All in all, the 4 rmy life is a good life, especi ally now that Armv pay compares 'avorably with civilian pay. Those persons who wanted out of the 4 rmv during the War have now realize their ambition, and those wM like it are in, and happy. Any civilian who wants to know about ‘be New Army can find out the de vils of any phase of it from a , <wa] Army Recruiting Office, hieh i« staffed with enthusiastic, intellicent, and understanding -wonle.” “The religious services held every day at noon and also in the morning in the Seventh Army Headquarters “Victory Chapel” on the top of the Old Post Office (Continued on page eight) Member North Carolina Press Association 5 Cents Per Copy.

Art And Hobby Festival Ends O Three Interesting Lectures And Demonstrations At The Arts And Hobby Festival o I i On Tuseday, August 27 On Tuesday August 27, Mr. Charles E. Spencer gave an inter esting and highly helpful talk on homes in many lands from earliest times to now. He showed how the Indians lived, how the earliest settlers in America lived. The homes of Washington and of Lee were pic tured and described, with a con trast of facilities for comfort in the home then and now. The audi ence then was reminded of how primitive even our modern Amer ican homes of thirty years ago were in the conveniences and ser vices in the modern home with its method of heating, its water sup ply and plumbing, and the wonders of modern lighting and telephone and radio, that give comfort and contact with the world inside the home. Other lands were touched on the buildings in the Holy Land, fam ous places such as the KiaKUin and Shonbrunn. Mr. Spencer then showed a pic ture of a war cemetery with its white crosses of those who died that our home life and ideals might be preserved. He made a strong plea for international co operation to avoid more cemeter ies and the disruption of homes that is the tragedy of the count less refugees of today.
