Bock 7 Mount, Not. .18. ThU hat
'beea educational day with the North
' Carolina) Conference ia aesaioa here
' and all the addresses of tha three ses
aiona clustered around the idea of
Christian education. A movement wu
set oa foot for tha raising of thia on
ferenre's quota of tha $33,000,000 which
tha Boathara church propose to raise
during the next year for' tha purpose
of enlarging and strengthening tha' Ta
ctions educational institutions, owned
and controlled by the'ehnreh.
An educational campaign will be
ia the territory occupied by the 8onth
era Methodist church. The movement
was originated at the 1918 session of the
General Conference, held ia Atlanta,
. Ga, and has been placed before all the
annus! conferences for their ratifies
tiqn anl acceptance and all that have
met op io this time have almost unani
meusly accepted the quota they were
asked to assume.
Launched With Eatkasiassa.
The church is entering npon the cam'
paiga with the safine enthusiasm that
marked the recent Centenary movement
when 18,000,000 more than was asked
for was subscribed and it is confident
ly expected that throughout this eon
ference the same apirit will permeate
the churches that was so nobly mani
fested when that great campaign was
on. r
The church realises thst unless this
movement is earried to a successful
completion it means a retrogression in
'every department of church work. The
educational institutions of the church
ire nothing more than training grounds
for tha future .leadership of tha. King-
; lorn, aid unices tha appeals for this
fund meet with a. hearty response- It
means that a' great de.irth of leaders

belief that religious prejudice or dif
ferences were involved in Ireland, was
unfounded, he added.
Saspead Court Precedare.
All witnesses said that civil court
procedures waa suspended in Irelsnd,
coroners Inquests prohibited, by the
British government and that tha only
authority exercised, except for ths
British military forces was that of

1 About 600 soldiers and 400 police are
