PEACE OR WAR TOPIC
BARNES' CHAPEL TALK
Economic Competition Usually the
Outstanding Cause of Nations
Disputes
WORLD WAR CAUSE DIVIDED
In beginning his lecture 011 war and
peace Wednesday morning, Dr. Barnes
spoke of the work and attitude of the
society of Friends. They have had a
very active part in reforming criminals
and in dealing humanely with them.
In discussing war he said "Everybody
is guilty or nobody is guilty, and the
causes are usually economic competition'
or secret diplomacy. We will have wars
as long as there are people to kill and
you can't end war by punishing a state
or group of states. It is necessary to
recognize that there is no hope for
peace until the causes are removed.
Dr. Barnes continued by saying that
no one group was responsible for the
World War in 1014, but, that the re
sponsibility was divided.
Servia, France', and Russia wanted
Avar and worked for it. Germany, Italy
and England did not want it. Also
Hungary had no desire to engage in
war, but was very badly treated.
In closing the speaker said that the
World War was disastrous in its effect
on national limits and destroyed hu
manity.

people of the community were enter

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 16, 1927
PROFESSOR TINSLEY
SPEAKS ON LINCOLN
Relates Vividly Many Incidents
in the Life History of This
Remarkable Man
HONESTY IS EMPHASIZED
Professor Tinsley, head of the His
tory department, spoke in chapel Friday
morning on Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln was born in Hardy
county, Kentucky, February 12, 1809, to
the parents of Thomas Lincoln and
Nancy Hanks. He was born of very
poor parents and being ambitious he
had to struggle all his life for an educa
tion and secured in all, less than a year
of schooling. When 19 years of age he
went to New Orleans with a cargo and
saw there his first slavery treatment,
which stirred him much, and beginning
his practice in law, he won many cases
for the slave owners.
In 1832 he was captain in the Mohawk
war for ten weeks. Ten years later,
in 1843, he married Mary Todd. Later
he was elected to the legislature where
he gained much fame and in 1860 was
elected President of the United States.
Here he found himself entangled in
the civil war. He was opposed to slav
ery but his sole object was to save the
union. He was denounced and re
nounced by his friends for the steps he
took in the war.
Mr. Tinsley gave the striking in
stance of the Gettysburg Address, read
ing in Lincoln's tone of voice the ad
dress which Lincoln thought was a com
plete failure until later he heard ex
pressed that it was a wonderful speech
and had much influence on the many
people who heard it.
"Many volumes have been written of
Lincoln," said Mr. Tinsley, "John Drink
water, an Englishman, has written a
book entitled 'Abraham Lincoln' from
which a reel has been taken that has

STREET IN HOLY CITY
Diversified Population Characterizes
Jerusalem, the Birthplace of Many
Religions
PALESTINE BOTH OLD AND NEW
Prof. F. Hill Turner spoke in chapel
here last Monday morning on "A Trip
Down Main Street in Jerusalem."
Jerusalem is a city with a diversified
population and the birthplace of many
religions. Thus, one can see the Jew,
the Mohammedan, the Christian, the
Moslem Woman, and the Greek Priest
all plodding along the same street.
The Jews in Jerusalem are divided
into several groups. These include the
orthodox Jew, who dresses in the same
garb and wears long hair just as he did
centuries ago; the Spanish Jew, the
most aristocratic in the Jewish world;
the Polish Jew; the Russian Jew; and
the American Jew. The American Jew
deserves special mention because he
goes back to the Holy City with money
and initiative to get things done.
There is also a group in Jerusalem
known as Zionists, who believe that
some day there will be a kingdom of
the Jews in Palestine.
All the Christian churches have mis
sionaries in the Holy Land, while prac
tically all the different denominations
and creeds have built temples and
monuments on every available plot of
land.
"It is a combination of these things,
the Old and the New, which makes
Palestine one of the most interesting
and entertaining spots in the world,"
said Mr. Turner.

N. C. Y. M. SECRETARY
WILSON SMITH SPEAKS
Gave Answer to Rupert Hughes' Re
cent Magazine Article on
Christianity
DOCTRINE OF MORE HAPPINESS.
Mr. J. Wilson Smith, the North Caro
lina state secretary of the Young Men's
Christian Association spoke to the stu
dents in chapel Thursday morning. Mr.
Smith's speech was mainly an answer to
an article written by Rupert Hughes
which appeared in a recent magazine in
which Mr. Hughes criticized reasons why
he believed Christianity to hold more
peace and happiness for the human race
than any other form of doctrine.
1. Christianity has the only sound,
reasonable program in the realm of
morals. And, until someone offers a
better program, we shall hold Christian
ideals as our definite goal.
2. Christianity has the only sound,
satisfactory answer to sorrow. "To
whom shall we go in this hour," said he,
"if not to Christ?"
3. Christianity has the power to trans
form life. Many souls have been saved
by this powerful quality of Christianity.
4. Christianity creates in the heart
of the believer an earnest desire to
spread it, to propagate it.
In conclusion Mr. Smith said, "The
student today who misses this wonderful
chance of upholding Christianity is,
missing the greatest thing that will ever
come his way."

team defeated Guilford last Friday in
a very poorly played game by the

loss.
