pointed out, can be founcf climate simi
lar to that found in most of the great ,
capitals. In Wilmington can be found :
the climate or Jerusalem; Fayetteville j
offers climate such as is found in Athens; j
the climate of Raleigh is similar to that:
of Rome, and in the Piedmont section ;
is found climate similar to that of Paris.
The western part of the State offers cli-|
matic conditions peculiar to London and
Edinburgh. Excessive rainfall is great
er in Berlin than any other capital,
it was stated by Dr. Rondthaler. and
this climate is not matched by North
Carolina. Wherever there is excessive
rainfall there is excessive insanity, Dr.
Rondthaler stated, and he declared it
was a happy condition that the former
Kaiser should be sent to Doom, where
the rainfall is more excessive even than
it is in Berlin.
Nowhere else in the United States can
be found the diversity of soil that its
found in this State, the speaker point
ed out. In some States there are great
er extremes, but nowhere else is the av
erage found that North Carolina boasts
of. In this State is found every con
structive resource which America affords.
The greatness of North Carolina. Dr.
Rondthaler declared, is due to a great
extent to the invisible bar of sand that
is found on the coast, and which has
made it impractical for North Carolina
to have a great seaport town. In this
connection the speaker traced the early
history of many States, lying on the At
lantic. pointing out that in practically
evt*ry State some city was developed in
the early history of the State*. These
cities became domineering, arrogant and
selfish, he declared, and in this way re
tarded the growth of the States. The
fact that North Carolina has no great
<ities. and Dr. Rondthaler pointed out
that he spoke as a Winston-Salem man.
has meant that it* people have built up
smaller communities, where they can
know 'one another, where they can ex
pand spiritually and socially, and where
they are not hampered with the conges
tion charnceristie of cities.
The bar of sand along the coast, the
speaker added, has kept the citizenship of
the State the purest in the United States.
Less than one-tenth, of one per cent of
North Carolinians are foreign born,
while Rhode Island, with practically the
same population as North Carolina has
a foreign born rate of about 05 per
cent. Immigrants seek larger cities,
the congested areas, he pointed out. and
for that reason they are not seeking
homes in North Carolina. These immi
grants are not needed in this State, Dr.
Rondthaler pointed out. for the increase
in inhabitants iu North Carolina from
natural causes is on a greater average
than the increase in the whole United
State*, immigrants counted. The fact
that we have so few immigrants is a
blessing. Dr. Rondthaler said, for here
we have one language known from
mountain to coast.
• The agricultural development of the
State was praised by the speaker, who
showed th»4 > u 15 years we have climbed
from fifteenth iu value of crop to fourth.
For States of equal size, he added, North
Carolina leads the world.
Dr. Rondthaler declared that North
Carolina people had done the impossible
by expanding so rapidly industrially and
still retaining their rural characteristics.
While advancing agrictirtturally, he
pointed out. North Carolina has become
the premier industrial State of the South
and Southwest, a feat heretofore believed
impossible because industry in other
States lias demanded large cities and
congested districts for its development.
Declaring that it is iu such a State
that the Y. M. C. A., “a right hand to
the church." should prosper most. Dr.
Rondthaler made an eloquent plea for
support of the Y, at the same time offer
ing a vigorous criticism to those per
sons who have denounced the associa
tion.
The Y can be a help to men of every
rank if they will use it. he declared.
The association follows the boy through
high school, welcome* him at college and
offers fields of service to him in middle
life. The Y is not devoted to any
class or any particular service. Dr.
Rondthaler said. He pointed to its
service in the Navy, in the army, in
areas stricken, in lumber camps, in in
dustrial plants of all kinds. Very vig
orously he defended the Y iu army serv
ice. declaring that he wished lu* had
time to explain all that the association
actually did during the conflict. Indus
trially. he explained, the Y seeks har
monious relations between employer and
employe.
Particularly bitter was Dr. Rondthal
er in his denunciation of those persons
who have declared that the Y is working
away from the church. The Y. he
pointed out. is “a right hand of the
church." and he branded as “unjust, un
fair and untrue" statements that the Y
has parted from the church and the
teachings of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Rondthaler also criticised William
Jennings Bryan for statements lie said
Mr. /Bryan issued recently at Cleveland
in which' the latter expressed the belief
that the Y was on the brink of
ing Jesus Christ. Mr. Rondthaler ex
plained that statement was made
while 300 Y delegatets, regularly chosen
from the United States and Canada,
were meeting in Cleveland to redraft
certain parts of the constitution of the
association. Mr. Bryan wanted to ad
dress the comtnittee members, the speak
er said, “to bring tlie Y back to the
fold of Christ." and when informed that
only delegates could speak and that the
Y had not changed its policies regarding
the church and Christ, he issued a state
ment to the press declaring the associa
tion was on the “brink of deserting
Jesus.” The delegates before leaving
Cleveland. Dr. Rondthaler pointed out.
drafted a resolution in which the stand
of the association was reaffirmed, and
immediately after this was issued Mr.
Bryan\in another statement declared “I
did it." Statements that the associa
tion has or ever intended to desert Jesus
or depart from the church were charac
terized by Dr. Itftndthaler as “unfair
unjust and untrue.”
“Constructive sensitiveness" is the
keynote of the Y, Dr. Rondthaler .added,
declaring iu conclusion “I thank God
jointly for North Carolina and* the Y.
M. C. A.”
Just before Dr. Rondthaler spoke mem
bers present voted for four new direc
tors. Those elected were A. F. Hart
sell, 53 votes. Cameron Macßae. 35
votes. J. Y. Pharr, 33 votes and C. S.
Smart 50 votes. Messrs. Hartsell, Mac-
Rae and Smart were up for re-election,
their terms having expired.
