Overman addressed the members of the North Carolina Bankers' Association in Winston-Salem Friday at 12 o'clock, on the subject, "The League of Nations." Mr. Over man said: . ' From far across the seas, from a foreign Jand, amidst poeans of praise and songs of triumph, our brave sold ier boys have returned to their dear old homeland crowned with a glorious victory upon the battlefield. They w hipped the uermans to a stanasuii a victory of arms, an armistice and a cessation of hostilities. But the victo ry of this most stupendous and most horrible of all wars is not yet com plete, and will not be complete until all they fought and died for is settled and settled for humanity, for justice, lib erty, freedom and a world democracy, and for universal' and international peace. It will not be settled and com pleted until the League of Nations, the Covenant of peace for the nations., of the world, isratified. Until this is done there can be no peace, but unrest, rev olution, starvation and anarchy will stalk up and down the world, bringing in its wake destruction of nations, so cial disorder, wretchedness and finally the extermination of the races of men. , Since the days of the lowly Naza- rene coming out of the wilderness and proclaimed peace on earth and good will to men, for more than two thou--sand years, after experiencing the horrors of war, the fathers , have dreamed and prayed that wars, would cease in all the earth and the time would come when the sword shall be beaten into the ploughshare and the spear into the pruning hook ,and war shall be no more. Our country for years and years at tempted to negotiate treaties of peace. This has been the announced policy. It was attempted during the McKinley, the Roosevelt and Taft administrations and during the first term of President Wilson's administration, reace wren armament, peace without armament, the Bryan treaties, peace through the Hague Convention. All this has been of no avail, and it has been followed by the neatest of wars. The question of the peace of the world is still unsettled. Now the great est ooDortunitv for a world peace is hew. .At this time when a irreat part of the world's surf ace is drenched with 1.1 i t w. innn milltnna rvf Tnpn' lie deacfwid buried In the "sheir torn fields of France and other lands. When millions of widows and fatherless chil dren are crying out i ntheir distress snH cannot be comforted and see no hoDe for the future, when millions of men who have survived walk about in a dazed condition almost without hope for the future. When the nations of the earth are so burdened with debt that bankruptcy is staring them in the face; At such a time the great oppor tunity has arrived "to stop, look and listen", to endeavor to secure peace, to restore order, to preserve society, and provide domestic tranquility and to inspire the breasts of suifering hu manity with hope for a new and better order of things. Out of which shall come democracy, freedom and liberty t the individual citizen, hiarher civili zation, and a government in all lands such as we have by the consent of the governed. . ...... I have read the treaty, heard it dis cussed, studied it and thought over it, nnit hav determined it is my duty to suDDort its i ratification to meet the irreat resnonsibility resting upon us, and aid in the completion of the victory . fn whfoh mil- hov fouirht and died. Shall we in this country who for yean have advocated peace among all nations .stand in the way of its ratifi cation t- Shall we refuse to accept that rhih w ham advocated and prayed for, that wo proclaimed to the world was our purpose? In the great crisis hall we admit that all oar uroieesioiu and promises have been mere pretenses and camouflage, and thus nave oar rnintn looked UDon with contempt 7 One o' the rreatest events in the world's history was when our great Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, appeared on the 2nd day of April, 1917, before a Joint ses- . aion of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives' and delivered his great war message. After redting the hostile nets . of the Imperial . German : Government . arainft oar-country, among other . things, ho said: i ; . . t ' "While we do these thinffs. - these . deeply momentous things, let as (be very dear, and make very clear to all the world what oar motives and our objects are. My own thought has not ; been driven from its habitual and nor mal eonrse bv the unhappy events of " tha last two months, and I do not be- v UoTO that the thought of the nation ' hai ham altered or clouded bv them, I ' have exactly the same things in mind ' , now that I had in mind when I address . ed the Senate on the 22nd, of January -' last; the same that I had on mind when ' I addressed the Congress on tho third of February and on the 26th of Feb t mary. Our object, now as then, is. to ' vindicate tho principles of peace and Justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic pwer and to set up amongst tho really free ' and self-governed peoples of the world ". such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observ , ance of those principles. Neutrality ii no ioniff feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the ' men at of that peace and freedom lies In th existence of autocratic govern- i men! 1 ' t 7 o"'-ni'l force whic by tha will of their people. We have seen the last of neutrality in such cir cumstances. We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that the same standards of conduct and of responsibility for wrong done shall be observed among nations and their governments that are observed among the indivdual citizens of civilized states. We are now about to accent cuaire of battle with this natural foe to liberty and hall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its' power. We are glad, now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretence about them, to tight thus for the ultimate peace of tne wona and ior tne liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included: for the rights of nations great and smalt and the privilege of men every where to choose their way of life and of obedience. 1 he world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, -p material compensa tion for the saenhces we shall freely make. We are but one of the cham pions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those ritrhts have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them. It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of allVars, civ ilization itself seems to be in the bal ance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts for democracy, ior the right of those who submit to au thority to have a voice in their own governments, for the right and the lib el tics of small nations,, for a universal dominion of right by such concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and to make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our for tunes, everything that we are and ev erything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to cnroorl Viaf Klswwl art I ViATt miffht Trtv frtA principles that gave her birth and hap piness and the peace which she has treasured, pod helping her. she can do no other:- " Soon after the delivery of this won derful message each house returned to it3 chamber and four days later, to wit, on the sixth day of April, declared war against Germany, witnout a dis senting voice and without protest from LOCAL AND PERSONAL Miss Sa llie Mae luitle of Wash ington N.C is the eKt of her biiier Mrs. L C.

School September 1st Opens Asheboro Township Sunday School Convention Held The Asheboro Township Sunday School Convention convened in the M. E. church, in Asheboro, last Sunday evening, August 24, at 8:30 o'clock, conducted by Mr. E. L. Mofiitt. ihe devotional services were conduct ed by Rev. C. L. Whitaker, pastor of the M. P. church. Following this the president made some remarks of exlan- ation concerning the convention. Then there was a duet sang by two professional singers, Miss Ferree and Mr. Grady Miller, of Asheboro, which every one seemed to enjoy very much. following this there were two short talks made by Mr. W. L. Ward and Rev. Ira Erwm, pastor of the M. E. church on the subject of Constructive Tasks. Mr. Ward said that the para mount task that confronted the loyal Sunday School worker is to get the young men and young women that ride about in their cars during Sunday school hours and sit around public places into the Sunday Schools and keep them there. Ho said to accom plish this task would require military terms, that, is select young men and young' women that -are already in the Sunday Schools, and ones that, are effi cient in ' every resp&f "and "send them out to get the! non-Sunday School young men and women and bring them in. He said to keep them was the greater task, but he said that could be accomplished by teaching them to love and fear their God. Rev. Erwin said that the class was the unit of the Sunday School, and that the need of more faithful and more effi cient teachers was necessary in order to secure these young men and women, that are not in the Sunday School. Following this discussion, Mr. J. Norman Wills, of Greensboro, delivered an excellent address on the Real Tasks of the Sunday School. Mr. Wills said the growth of the Sunday Schools had been very rapid. He said it had been 139 vears since Robert Rakes conduct ed the first Sunday School with just a little girl and boy as his pupils and to day a vast army ot people of all ages are in the Sunday School work. He said that this proved that the "Word of God is seed. Last, the nominative committee made their report and the following officers were elected to serve the next year: President, Mr. N. P. Cox; vice presi dent, Mr. C. G. Frazier, Jr.; secretary and treasurer, Willie Spoon. No fur ther business, the convention adjourn ed.
