' Dr. William Preston Few, president
of Trinity College, spoke last night
t Central Methodist church taking
for bia subject "Tbe Heritage of
Son therm People.:- Dr Few it pre
eminent among the leading educator!
of the country, and hia addreaa last
night waj a gem.- The congregation
waa not urge, however, the very in
clement weather keeping many away,
but a large number availed them
aelvea of the privilege of bearing the
gifted speaker. Dr. Few took for a
basil of bis address the following
from the 6th chapter of Jeremiah,
loth' verse, which read at followa:
"Stand ye in 4he waya and see, and
ask for the old paths,- where is the
good way, and walk therein, and ye
stall find Mat for your souls." :
Following ia a synopsis of hU fine
address: . -
As opportunity baa offered I have
from tuna to time thia year discussed
ivrml nhiua tkf sdiiMtuin. MTMfliftllv
aa education k related to moral ehar
.. acter and Christian civilisation. Now
it ia a business of education, aa it ia
alao a business of the church, to me
diate between the past and the future,
to find the good in the past and band
it on through the present to. the futnre.-
Let na thia evening try to work
: our way to a clearer understanding of
just what ia tbe heritage of Southern
people which we are to cherish and to
' transmit to oncoming generations.
j An individual, if be be highly gift
ed, oust have a urge inheritance
from tbe accumulated experiences of
tbe race; and a. people, to be in any
true sense treat, must build noon a
long historic past. The surviving in
fluence of those who live worthily and
.for worthy ends, is a aort of earthly
mmertality ; " the actions of, .the just
smell sweet and blossom in the dust"
The good that is in nil men's lives is
not buried with them; but ia, to a
greater or less degree, conserved and
transmitted to those who come after
them, and is thus handed on from the
age that is past to the ages that are
waiting before. This power, to eon-
t serve the good ia the past ana make it
useful in the present u a precious as
pect of tbe fcumatf 'Bsjcev srisaari-of
inheritance; makes heirs of aR the
, ages and site man hopefully oil the
long, bard road of progress, that runs
upward and onward forever. . -
- We are not only inheritors. In this
general sense, of the civilisation end
institutions of the English race; nut
we share in. the particular and price
less legacy which our fathers who liv
-ed before us here left behind them.
' The founders and builders of this re
public, I am glad to believe, were
largely Southern enent and this fact
ought io be a constant call to us to
take our rightful places in the hoqfie
which our fathers had so much to do
' in building; And later even where our
ancestors failed, they failed bravely,
and left us a heritage of high devotion
and heroic self-sacrifice to the right
as they saw it.. Both for their eue-
. eesses and their failures, we are heirs
of inspiring memories, t We are born
"to a long pedigree, and this birth
right has supreme Bigmneanee for us.
Membership in the English. race has
given this people a right to the old
"".Anglo-Saxon stability of character
and sobriety of judgment, and the ea
ger desire to live human life for the
highest ends those fine qualities that
have illumined like stars the long an-
;, nals of our race. r:fv
The fortunate cireumstsnee that we
were born in America gives' ns free
and untrammeled eitisenship in the
srrestest republic of history, and en-
' titles us to the American turn for
practical affairs and to the sleepless
cnersrv. resourcefulness and power to
bring things to pass, which applied to
-the building of a new country here,
. have made ours the richest nation in
the world. . -.
Our ancestral religion, which derives
. ultimatelv from the Hebrew, reinforc
ed by Elizabethan Puritanism, eigh-
- teenth century revivalism, and Boutn-
rn conservative clinging to tbe essen
tial things of Christianity, haa through
all the years kept suve among ns
. feeling after God and unearthly things
. that haa saved ns jrrom materialism
snd flat despair, , ,, .

has chnf5y to live. ,- N . , '
From the b- t traditions of our own
liwnfiUi.te p4 we rightly inherit the
old Southerners' sense of individual
liberty, their graces of character, the
graciousn s of their manners, their
fine hospitality and good fellowship.
tj up our priceless heritage out
cf the past, but perhaps even beat af
1 is our inheritance in the present.
We ia the South today have the good
fortune ta live ia one of those grow
ing, formative epocha such as come
at long intervals in the history of
mankind, when tbe ordinary processes
of national development are supersed
ed by more rapid methods and when
civilisation goes forward at a bound.

promise and full of hope. -
How shall we use this splendid her
itage of oursV By cherishing and
holding on with a wise conservatism
to these beat things that have some
down to as from the past, and ia tbe
spirit of true progress by embodying
in our life and character tbe chief les
sons tanght us in the history of our
race, and in the successes and even
failures of our forefathers.
The Southern States as we. know
them today are the product of an in
terrupted and broken past. Originally
progressive, and prosperous, tbe deadly
diaease of sisvery waa early fastened
on the body politic Then came the
tragedy of civil war; . after that the
historic crime of reconstruction, fol
lowed by Jbe tedious yean of recov
ery, and, now by a revival of pros
perity and hope. -. From the nature of
things our growth haa not always been
normal, and haa not always been
wholesome. Without praise or blame
for the past or the present, the living
or the dead, let us, free from reaction
and free from radicalism, look our
conditions squarely in tbe face,, de
termined to cherish what is good in
our civilisation,' hold fast to it, im
prove tt ia all possible ways, and band
it on thus bettered to those who come
after us. ,v.- ''-,-. .
The ere at lessona of our nest have
nevel been perfectly learned by any
orancn or the jsnguan race at any one
time; but there would seem to be no
good reason why our individual and
collective ideal of life should not in
clude them alL This ideal, if it ia to
stand for character and the achieve
ments of our race at its best, tnust in
clude an adequate conception of the
dignity and essential greatness of
man's life, whieh whenever held with
sumoiently burning eonvict-ou. will
produce a riifhry race of men. The
Hebrews1 aud the Puritans, to both of
whom we owe so much, knew this ; and
the result was a stability and right-
icsa fhat. aavs ha tts eaii'ef
the earth. This ideal must include a
feling for tbe entrancing beauty and
glory of the physical worid in which
we live, a feeling - which whenever
highly enough developed, makes poets
and artiste .and .lovers of excellent
and beautiful things. The Greeks in
their prime, to whom we owe our cul
ture ideals, and the great men of our"
own race, have known this; and tbe
result haa been a literature and an
art that have ennobled and glorified
mankind forever. This ideal must in
clude that reverence, which, born out
of a sense of infinite and realisation
of the inscrutable mystery of our
earthly life; is the mother of all re
ligion. The mystics of the Middle
Ages and the devouter soma of all
times have known ibis; and the result
haa been a flame of enthusiasm that
has lighted every nation, in Christen
dom on the way that leads to the ear-
oinai virtues oi iaim ana nope ana
1!.A. ,.!iL 1
chanty, upon which depend the peace,
security snd strength of individuals
and peoples. This ideal must include
the poise and fineness of temper that
form an essential part of the spiritual
constitution of every gentle man and
woman. This has been known here in
the past; and we mnst strive to keep
and transmit undiminished the old
grace, generosity, and magnanimity of
our elders and muat continue the cul
tivation of mind and taste and tbe re
finement of manners that make living
with each other sweet and wholesome,
It is of the utmost importance for
us to learn these four great lessons of
onr history.- The first of them would
make ns feel that life ia worth while;
that we must give ourselves soul and
body to the getting of those things
which have to do with a manly life;
that it always pays to struggle to be
the noblest we ean be. The .second
would make us more in love with all
that is good -and leautiful, would
make us sacredly dedicate our livea
to the finer things of the mind and of
the spirit. The third would make ns
modest, patient,' humble, would cause
us to bow onr beads in silence before
the awful mysteries of life and death,
and would lead ua to seek diligently
with tears for every help human and
divine,that would gui le ua through this
wilderness of the woUd.N I be fourth
would make perpetual among us the
graeiousness, ihe .- hospitality, the
beauty and purity of tbe social life,
which were the best characteristics of
the old order of tbe South. If we
could make effective in North Caro
lina today these great lessons of his
tory, we would yet have in this dear
old State, the fullest, richest, and
sweetest life ever lived in tb world.
