Its , arrangement seems to the onlooker to be perfection itself.

'-one find-so splendid. retail furni ture establishment a building of " such size erected for that purpose, nd that purpose only, by the own ','ars of the business It shelters! ' " THE WORSHIP OF THE GOLDEN CALF, ' , ' There is bitter irony In the fact that the same Issue of the newspa pers that carried the appeal of the Greek patriarch to the Christian na tions to prevent hi deportation from Constantinople ' carried also the announcement that the confer ence at Lausanne has finally come down to business, namely, the Mosul oil fields.' Be-entrance into Europe, the territory and lira of Chris tians, have been granted to the Turk to do with as seems good to him. The patriarch of the oldest of Christian churches the Turk may humiliate -without serious protest from the great Christian powers. But when it comes to oli fields, France and Great Britain are as firm as granite. - Religion is, after all, a perfunctory affair; politicians must express great respect for re ligion, of course, but nobody expects ahem to act in accord with their professions.' When it comes to oil, though, there is a subject that must be taken seriously. If the Turk chooses to amuse himself by kick ing the Greek patriarch out of Con stantinople, or slitting the throats of s few Christian women and chil dren, that ia shockingly bad man ners in the Turk, to be sure, but it really makes no difference. But when the Turk attempts to control valuable oil fields, why that Is a matter involving francs, pounds sterling, dollars, and it matters a great deal indeed. There must be no foolishness in connection with the oil fields. Then will be no fool ishness. " Such is the decision of Christian civilisation with regard to the nuar Oh, well, it Is nothing new.. . In fact, right in this same country oc curred the first recorded instance of a similar decision. In the near east is a mountain tiiat goes by the name of Sinai; and it is written that the nation that was the pre cursor of Christian civilisation once inhabited the region around that mountain. According to the old story, there , was a crisis in those days, too, bttfthe nation was nt particularly concerned. It had be come accustomed to crises, for it had been under the leadership of aa impractical idealist for many yean; so when finally it got rid of him. It disregsrded the thunder and lightning in the high hills, and pros trated itself before a Golden Calf. Yes, there are plenty of prece dents for Lausanne. 1 The uncom fortable reflection is that the prece dent doesnt stop there; for. in the story, one came " down from the mountain where he had talked face to face with God and "took the calf which they had made, ana Dumi n in ths fire, and ground it to pow der, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of It." If there was a God upon Sinai He still exists; and if He v exists ; unchanged, wen mm Christian civilisation; sooner or later ia soine to' have to drink that oil of Mosul for whose worship it has deserted the worship of the Presence upon the mountain. I BOOKS ON BUSINESS. Is' a business man a tool-using animal? Philosophen have set up as a distinction between brute and human the fact that man alone among living creatures knows how to multiply his physical powers by the employment of mechanical de vices. A moment's reflection shows that tools are not necessarily ma terial things, contrivances of wood or iron; snd the business man is under the necessity, of using a greater number and a greater va riety of tools thsn any mechanic All devices for abolishing 4ime and distance, an methods of communica tion, an tools that the business man uses daily. So are the devices of, the economist for permitting a man to transact business far away from the place when he may be at the moment devices by which he may be in two places at once, so to speak such as money and the credit system, with especial reference to banking in all its phases. But it takes more than tools to make a good carpenter, or plu.nber, or steam-fitter. It takes ability to handle tools, including knowledge of which tool is best adapted to a par ticular job. And what is true of the mechanic applies with far greater force to the business man, because the business man's opera tions are far more intricate than those of the mechanic. A competent business man must be a perpetual student, perpetually learning new facts and new methods, or his com petitors wfll outstrip him. Yet it ,1s a curious fact that the people who are accustomed to dea! with knowledge, the so-called scho'- ars, have generally paid s"ant at tention to the needs of the business man. There are schools of business to be sure, but we an not referring to formal education. Students of nearly anything else find a great variety of helps outside- the schools. A man who wishes to know about Assyrian architecture, or tho social system of the Hopi Indians, or the cohoptera of Brazil, can find in a dozen places, wholly unconnected with schools, lists of books on the subject. But have you ever seen a good list of books en business? Not specialised branches, but" business in general Is a subject whose im portance cannot be exceeded by any imaginable rival; but then is little collected or organised information available to the student of business, unless he goes Into some school. The Daily News is happy to b able te present today a list of .that sort. It comes to us through Dr. L. B. Wilson, librarian of the Univer sity of North Carolina and also one editor of the Daily News' book re view page; but it was compiled originally by the American Library association, with the help of most of the important universities in the country. . It will be found on the book review page in today's paper. This article is the first of a series that Dr. Wilson intends to prepare on books, not as entertainment, or as media of culture, but as tools. The first list consists of books that an excellent tools for the business man any business man but later ones wiU name books that are equally useful to other people. It may be that the average business man will find on this list a good many volumes with which he is el-: ready familiar,, but few indeed are the men who are familiar with all Of them, so it is worth the while of practically everybody to take a look atthelist.V The Daily News feels that in the preparatien of this article Dr. WU son has performed a service of great value to the state; hence we invite attention to It with especial earnestness. . v ' -,.. A GREAT HIGHWAY ENTER , PRISE. Ths casual reader South Caro lina, Massachusetts or China of an artkjae&ewhere in this morn ing's paper might perhaps leap to the conclusion that North Carolina road-making activities are devoted mainly to a single road. Although state highway route No. 10, the greater part of the Central high way, and more, crosses all the con struction districts except three, the aggregate of its construction pro jects 1s something like 600 miles of s total state system of upwards of 5,000 miles. This route 10 is in deed the longest general-direction road in the state; but then is a sec ond great east and west traffic line the present 'development of which matches fairly well that of route 10. In addition there are pieces of permanent construction either com pleted, now being built, finan cially provided for, aU throughout the state, when traffic demands are heaviest and have been most insist ent on permanent construction. . ' Route 10 at present is an ag glomerate of aU sorts snd condi tions of roadway, mostly good. There are a few sections of con crete, more of asphalt, of early con struction, far below the standards of modern engineering. Then Sre some recently turned out roads, both black-top and white-top, that approximate perfection as 'perfec tion is understood 'by ths road builder of today. Then is some penetration, some waterbound Mac adam this type of construction is being used mainly on. mountain grades, where'the material is right at hand, and transportation of ma terial would be extremely, expensive there is one piece of brick, snd there are every variety of sand- clay, topsoil, gravel roads, old and new, good and indifferent Thanks to s splendid system of mainte nance, the indifferent roads are fairly good much of the timet' The development of this highway and it ia typical of a development that is, ss has been said, well dis tributed over North Carolina in the direction of a completed hard- surface rood is one of the miracles of modern road building. The com mission that has directed and su pervised it came 'into full physical posession of the state roads only a year ago last June. There were turned over to them numerous local projects of permanent road of fair to excellent qualitycomplete and incomplete. They are now finish ing up several projects of their own initiation, early spring will bring still other, to completion, summer will mature some more, and yet ad ditional mileage is due to be opened to the public next fall. One now may start west from Newton and follow roads every foot of the way to the Georgia line, mora than 350 miles, that fall into one of these categories, complete hard surface, hard surface under construction, hard surface author ized or provided for money . set aside or new, fairly new or under construction soil and mixed types. One may start east from Statesville and traverse complete, under con struction or authorised hard sur face all the way to Croatan, some 270 miles. And the far greater amount is included in complete and under construction. There - are three gaps, a short one In Orange county a soil road recently built with federal aid, and a better than fair road and a longer one be tween Smithfield and Goldsboro. And there has, been no very bad road in Johnston and Wayne coun ties these half dozen years. Under favorable weather' conditions this road in Johnston . and Wayne is really excellent, with many fine, wide strsightawsys. A third gap, 10 or 11 miles, shows on the map published today as totally neglected,-' ft: Was - until 'Friday; when GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, ' 1922 largely as sn emergency measure to give employment to New, Bern fin sufferers, the commission let it to contract for hard surface. This is Fort Barnwell to Jasper, end of the brick leading west from New Bern. The orphan sections, the poor J roads that have received no smile of Tblesslng out of the $50,000,000 appropriation, and none before that, the lonesome members of the Cen tral highway projects, an two in number. In the red clay of the Piedmont, between Newton and Statesville, is long, weary stretch unless the weather happens to be entirely favorable.. Then far down to the cast, the eight-mile piece from Croatan to Havelock is even Croatan to Havelock , Is . even sandier, more profanity-provoking.! than fort Barnwell to the end of the brick. , , It is unthinkable that the high way map will be long permitted to show these two reproaches. Ths commission probably, has not, will not have left out of the existing appropriation, enough money to take care of any part of this neglected roadway. Of course all projects provided for, , where contract has not been let, are men estimates, but these estimates average fairly correct. ' . . 1 i ra ' EVOLUTIOHOF THE KINGDOM. And he said. So Is the Klnxdom of God, aa It a man should-cast eed upon th earth, and should sleep, and rise nlg-ht and day, and th seed hould sprint op and grow, he know eth not how. Mark 4;t8, 27. . It cannot be in ..the middle of Advent a malaprepism . to take stock of a Kingdom long in the es tablishment" strange in its powers, and slow In making itself felt throughout the world. So is the Kingdom, as if a man would cast seed upon the earth. To make! it, therefore dynamite, sn ex plosion, a cataclysmic experience, to say the least, ia to denaturalize it Ths Master, who was ths gnat eat of all the pedagogues, had the growth idea and his knowledge of it took accounting of an ths secret processes of natural growing. Sometimes our good church peo ple make moan that our state schools are without religion, snd something must be done lest our in stitutions become Teutonised. Something, perhaps, could be done if the Kingdom had been able to get in s little better piece of work on us; but would it not be a ran thing for our Sunday schools' snd religious life if more of the princi ples of pufc pedagogy could be en grafted on them? The schools of the state grow space; a rich com monwealth 'cannot build rapidly enough for the' accommodation' of xoung America.. The cnurcnes have ne such problem; they can house many more than they have any opportunity to do. An modern teaching has laid an emphasis on ths fsct that self is more than we an conscious of. An emitient psychologist some yean ago! wrote much on the "sublimal consciousness" so deeply, burled thai ordinarily we an not aware of its existence. Worlds of ' poetry and psychology an quotable to show that a large portion of each man's self is below the threshold of his own consciousness snd beyond ths Teach of his own observation. Right there pedagogy discovers that the best portion of our educa tion is stored up in this deeper self. Education and' information are hardly any longer related even in the "secular" schools. For that "edutation" which is so much can ned information ready to dump on an examination paper, hardly any body cares anything. The real value of education lies in tt mas tery over the sources of knowledge, in the capacity to judge correctly, in the ability to take up new ques tions in a scientific method, in the sagacity to see the essential princi ple underneath the complex details. So is the kingdom of God, as if s man should .cast seed upon the earth. Hen is the warning against a judgment of religion which will measure it by that part of which shows above the surface. So Judged it is just as superficial and contradictory a human affair as the world knows. A creed half tradi tion and half mystery, an emotional experience alternating between ec stasy and despair, a course of con duct in which the loftiest motive is followed by surrender to the basest impulses this is what we find when we look most searchingly into our conscious .selves. And finding this our own experience, we natu rally infer that it is our neighbor's. And we come to doubt whether there is any consistent, satisfying, reality in religion anyway. Is there anybody who never had such a doubt in his mind? - Is profes sional infidelity bottomed on any thing else than this imperfect judg ment? This is the cry of multitudes who look into themselves just deep enough to see these contradictions and who go forth to warn their fel lows that all religion is a delusion and a snare. " It is the old fallacy of taking a part for 'the whole; of knowing nothing of the law of growth. ' It is the same old story of the illiterate farmer who sees the educated fool coming back to ths community to show off his learning. The neigh borhood doesn't think it is worth much to have that fort of animal running loose about the country. If that's ths best ths schools can do, ths money put in them is lost But w "don't judge education that way now. Some day when we tend toward pessimism, we . find somebody who in the schools has found himself, who shortly after leaving them does something in statecraft or in industry which thrills the world about him and then we know that he has found In these schools something which had been Irremediable loss without them. . And H is so in the religious life. Not the infinitesimal fraction , of the' spiritual truth already appre hended, not the petty 'experiences you have gone through, . not the filthy rags of righteousness with which you have succeeded in cloth ing yourself, constitute the worth of your religious life. It is not the truth you have got hold of, but the truth which has got hold of you that will count . It is not the ex periences that you-, have had, but might have had and ought to have, if .you invite those experiences into your life by the habit of devotion and consecration. We an saved, not by retrospection, not by intro spection, not by what we have been, but by what we shall be.- ' . - When new facts no longer fit into old - theories, we make new theories large enough to give these new facts room. To explain these facts we ara compelled to recognise that our selves are more than we are conscious of . ' The scholar does not dsspair, because judged by ab solute standards every college per formance is worthless. The teach er, has patience,' no4a consequence of what she sees which, is full of imperfections snd error, butjra ac count of what she cannot see but knows will hereafter appear. "So ia the Kingdom, of God, as if a msn should esst seed on the earth, and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up snd grow, he knoweth' not bow." Plant the seed in the springtime of life and let it grow. If you do not see the growth and, worst of all, if you do not understand the plant, do not pluck it up by the root to see how it is getting along, and above all do not destroy it, but let it grow. And if by chance, one of the fairest flowers of the Kingdom should some day show a religions belief, not made up of crystals, but of seeds ever growing larger and bursting the ' shells within .which they hsve been placed, doa't flout him before the Baptist State con vention as heretic , ' ' " .

Editor of Th Dally New: Th report In your Issue of Dr. Wil liam Louis Potest' utterance on th flook-of the state Baptist convention give m very great pleasure and at th cam time serve aa a baa for thought From time to time, we hav been hearing, with regret, vago re ports of dissension in th Baptist churches ever certain minor matters. It la, Indeed, a pleasure to know that the cloud have lifted and that the only thunder of ths threatened storm tii th musical roll of "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name." Baptist churches have a great work to do In this state. There ahould be no dis sension In their devout ranks. , "We are going to hav either an arohy or Christ," la on of the sen tenoe nttered by Dr. Potent and nerhaps, the most significant. Social h Inkers seem to be In agreement that If we are to get out of this world wilderness, we ihall have to travel the road marked out by Christ Therefore, serious . minded person join with Dr. Poteat In acoeptlng the New Testament a "authority Of faith ana nractlce." Nona th less, they hold th Old Testament a the never-1 o-b neglected depository of religious truth. ' As I read the brief report of what Dr. Poteat said. It occur to me that all, church or non-church member, could, well unit upon th principles laid down by him and. Quitting all "piddling" seek th Eternal On by th way and method of Christ. Why men, good men, piddle' about small matter and wander off the way so plainly marked by Christ la more than can be explained; but they do it, snd thereby delay the coming of the Kingdom of Ood to all. - The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, ought to be read by every one not only a a matter of education, but as one of the ways of learning about the Eternal One thst draw us to otKhteousnene, to use a part of Matthew Arnold's term; but I hope that our next legislature will not piddle on this matter, a has been intimated. All men are religious In. some oegre but each must be left o work hl rellrlon nut In hi own way, else It Is not truly personal. The insistence of Baptists upon this point has been a great, a very great, con trlbut'lon to civilisation. Slowly oth ers are coming to understand th1. Ood help ns. If those who have stood v stoutly for It- should surrender. There Is no need for surrender; for can all work together on th prln nple that the big thing Is a willing and Joyous yielding to th fore that pulls us up to right living and that other thlns-s mak shuttle difference that spending tlm on them Is piddling."

DAD ROADS IV GClLpOHD. i Editor of The Dally News: I was very much amused at the criticism which Mr. Robert made of the Virginia roads and It might be well for him to. learn more about the roads in Guilford county before going Into another afntet to criticise.. Mr. silllerahan say In' his letter to the Dally News today that BO ens would CONGRESS SEEMS ANXIO US TO TRY IT OUT OV A N SMALL SC ALE FIRST ' have to go 71 milts from Greensboro to find roads that ar bad."-1 live In less than 10 miles from Oreensbor and about th asm distance from High Point and I hav yet to to a road that I worse than th ou w llv on. t hav traveled over aom of th wont roada In Virginia and they are no won than this on get la wet, muddy weather. There I about four mile of road her between Guilford College and Deep River church that vould. ba mad aa xellent road with very lit tle work and It would mean a great J deal to th community aa all piogreo In any community depends on th roads.

When th road bond issue was on two year ago I was vary enthusiastic and waa on of th vary few In tuia section who voted for It I wouid vot th same way if It war to do over tor I am proud of th progress that has been mad In road building In our county but I do think that some of these Isolated eeetrona should be pulled out of the mad and given a chance for olvlllaatlon before so many hard surface roads ar built, especially when they ar put so olos together and run parallel with each other. If there Is any one Interested In uuiirord oounty's had roads come out this way and see some, but if this weather continues for a 'few daya oon t start In your ear.
