Dr. William Louis Poteat,
president-emeritus of Wake For
est College, delivered the prin
cipal address at the Armistice
Day exercises yesterday. The
address, which "was the principal
one of a well-balanced program,
was well received by" the audi
ence.
After the invocation by Eev
erend Ronald Tamblyn, an organ
solo by Walter B. Patterson, and
the roll-call of the dead of the
University and the Chapel Hill
Post of .the American Legion,
Dr. Poteat delivered his address
on the theme of Christian prin-!
ciples and peace.
He said that this day is set
aside for the thousands of
young Americans who sailed
east in 1917 and forgot to sail
west in 1918.,. It is necessary
to recall the horror of those
days lest we forget and slide
back into these same horrors at
some future time.
Tender-Recollections
"We recall," he continued,
tender memories of those who lie
sleeping beneath the wheat fields
in France ; dreadful memories
of ghastly blood-shed in the
fields of Flanders; indignant
memories because nothing defi
nite was settled by this terrible
maelstrom."
"There is still one great ob
stacle," he went oh, "remaining
in the road for peace. Unless
nations- can be made to surren
der some of their national sov
ereignty, we can entertain lit
tle hope for permanent peace.
War may make men glorious,
but war itself is never glorious. '
In conclusion, Dr. Poteat ap
pealed to the men, women, and
children of the world to accept
Christianity as the first and
most important step toward
world -peace. "The only way
out," concluded Poteat, "is
Christianity. Christian methods
of living will settle our national,
international,' and social prob-
