Missildine’s Pharmacy, Tel. 4 Meeting at Lanier Library The Thursday meeting of the Lanier club was one of unusual interest. Mrs. Dexter, the presi dent, announced that the third of this month marked the hundredth anniversary of the birth of our patron poet, Sidney Lanier, and that she had asked M,i§s Lois Wil cox to read one of Lanier’s poems. Miss Wilcox gave a brief account of Lanier’s short stay in Tryon and how he was befriended by members of the Wilcox family. She then read “A Song of the Future,” one of his shortest pcems but expressive of his unfailing faith in the realization of all good. The speaker for the afternoon Dr. Charles Sewall, then address ed the club on the subject of “The Faith of Democracy.” Passing over briefly the things for which Demo cracy stands as a form of govern ment, he centered his thought on the Declaration of Independence, in its much disputed statement that all men are equal in the sight of God, aind therefore en titled to freedom and the pursuit of happiness, or opportunity fcr development. Democracy is the only form of government that even aims at such an ideal; and while it is yet to be realized it contains the essence of our faith. Democracy then becomes in truth, a matter of faith, faith as defined in the New Testament: “the sub stance of things hoped for; the conviction of things not seen.” Only in a Christian atmosphere can the good life be lived, the true end of man be attained. Quoting from the instructions given to the Nazi youth, the speak er then showed hew they are be ing taught the exact opposite of the Christian faith. They are told that the individual is nothing in himself; h e exists only for his race and the state. Man claims no right to existence as a child of God; he is a mere tool in the hands of his masters. There is not room in this world for two such opposing ways of life, says Dr. Sewall. We must realize that we are fighting for something far deeper than freedom or our way cf living. We are fighting for all that makes life werth living at all, for a faith that affirms the undying worth and dignity of the human soul. — Contributed. THE BULLETIN—6 months sl.
