ecy on4he vSigns of (the Times"
is Very timely. Evwently Mr. Al
exander and othe'j' who -beiieve;
with him that the European war
is thejbeginning of the end, have
not made a Very close study of
political government and "t h e
general trehd of thecurrent of
world events and manrs civiliza
tion. ; Judging by the past, the
time is ripe for a 4 great political
revolution in .Europe. :' -
Beginning Vith the fall'of Rome
there have bwn four distinct e
pbchs in European histdryV The
first, known as the Dark Ages,
dates from the fall of Rome (A.
D. 500) to the Eleventh Century ;
the second, the age of Revival,
rom the owning of the Eleventh
Centure to the discovery of A-
inerica ra tne tniro; tne
Era of Keforraation, . from 1492
o 164S: the fourth, the Era of
oliticaf ReVmution, from 1648
to.1798;' From 1798 to the
present. has been omr bf forma-
ion of Federal States, territor
ial expansion, invention and in
dustrial development. Neyer,rin
he world's history Jias- there.
Jbeen so much done for the prog
ress and he'development of the
race as withih the last 100 years.
Th's is not a new idea of the ul
Ailment of prophecy, but the
working out of the historic evo-
ution and the divine destiny of
he race. ;
The war in Europe today is
clearly the endof royal and.mon
archkl government arfd the com
ing of democracy, and the feder
ation of States' wider' 'a govern,
ment modeled after, that of" Our
American. Any' one . can see'
that is bound to be the' ultimate
result or thew.will be a break in
the "current of. events of the
world's history. ... .; .. ..
Europe, the. mother of Nations;
has gone tanner zenith of her glo
ry . in dominating the thought,
business and education . of the
world: her civilization is crumb
ling; other natfopg are ;wakirtg
up Eastern and Western powers
are preparing to take out of this
world's tragedy today the ele
ments needed to build a1 newer
and b 'tter civilization. And. as
our countryimdw almost in the
center of the civililized world,
may it not be that here in this
land of the free and the home of
the brave) is to be the stage up
on which is to be enacted the, fl
hal drnraaof a new and better
Christian civilization? From the
standpoint of Christianity we see
that in the last millenium that
every 500 years has witnessed a
great forward movement .'.of the
Church. ; in the Twelfth Century
was the revival , of faith ationg
the WafdensesinSbtithern France
and Northern Itely; iQ thefoim
teenth.Century the giving of, the
Bible to .the w.orld, by Wyckliff
and others; in the Sixteenth Cen
tury the Reformation under Mar
tin Luther; 'in the . Eighteenth
Century the great revival of Wee
ley and others.
v Now, what is to be the great
forward movement of this centu
ry? Iittnot th Layman's Mis
sionary Movement when the bue
iness men in the church are com
bining their energies and plan
niitg to evangelize the world in a
generation? The layman's mpve
ment is the answer to the call of
God in the great onward .march
of man's civilization as well as
our political and spiritual salva
tion. Let's keep historyfltraight.

We had never .visited your sec

trip was most interesting! Being
from the levei country of East

ly enjoyed the beautifui moun

desirable place for men to dwell.
We enjoyed feasting on the beau
tiful red apples and inhaling the
pure, invigorating air.
At Elk Park we took, a car-
4 iii
riage ana wound arouna tnose
beautiful mountains until we
reached Boone, the home , of the
Appalachian Training- School.
BOone boasts of being the high
est county site East of the Rocky
Mountains, having an altitude
of 3,333 feet. The Appalachian
Training School is the highest in
stitu tion of learning in the South:
The plant consists of six princi
pal buildings and a number of
small cottages and farm houses:

The climate is good, the water is
