Tuesday, August 27, 1935 Editorial Correspondence Leicester, England, August 9, 1935. This has been the high-water mark of any day in the convention?a great depth of spirituality in song and sermon. 1 have never been more impressed with the power of song. The English people sing with great enthusiasm and power, and all seem to be able to sing in full accord. The leader, an old man from London, sings with as much power as any man I have ever heard, and he makes a splendid leader. I have not heard a single squawk nor a gutteral choke in any hymn. They select real hymns and outsing any Amer icans I have ever heard. It would be a real revela tion for our Americans to hear an English congre gation sing "All Hail the Lower of Jesus' Name" in a different time than we have it?it is, I think, more inspiring. We have had great men on the program of speak ers today. One of them was the Very Rev} W. R. Matthews, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, who spoke over the British Broadcasting System, be ing heard over much of Europe. He was followed by the Rev. Luke Wiseman, of London, secretary of Home Mission^,of Methodist Episcopal Church, who^ spoke writh nwcfffopre and conviction/ f-Rher speak ers were Hfcmer G. Carptenter, of Kentucky, and Ma jor H. A. Proctor, one of our English preachers, and a member of the House of Commons. "Unity" was the theme of every speaker. "Peace and Unity" is the general theme of the con vention, and all the delegates seem to be of one ac cord in. their desires. ' The German representatives refused "to place the German flag beside the family of flags of the other nations represented, because of the persecution of the Jews and Christians who are still living in that country. Leicester is a cjty of smokestacks, steeples, and fine I>arks, with a people who step quick and seem to be full of joy and hu]>e. I hey use every kind of ve hicle seen in America?plenty ol baby carriages, Bi cycles, rough-looking automobiles, street cars, and big busses. Children are riding "bikes" everywhere; young women are riding, too, and courting couples are seen on their tandem bicycles, built (or two. Other couples are seen riding the same kind of machine with an addition between the two seats which is used by the party of the third part. The autos and busses go flying by, apparently in a very dangerous manner, more nervewracking than in.our own U. s a but they do not have so many accidents. The parks are numerous and beautiful. The old race track was taken over by the city at the end of the war and is now Victoria Park, consisting of about 30 acres of land, where hundreds of children romp and play while their elders picnic around practically every afternoon. It is certainly put to a far better use as a park, where children play, than it was as a race track, where people would gamble. The parks of the city are filled with flowers. Although the weather is so dry that fields of dry grass are burning over, the flowers are still holding their own and rival in every way the botanical gardens in the grounds of the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago last year which Wrere seen by so many people. In the afternoon took a trip to the old William Corey home, saw his cobbler's bench and pulpit, and saw some of his old furniture and equipment for his church work. He was a very poor man who did a wonderful work as a preacher and citizen. Also vis ited old St. Nicholas Church and the old Jewry Wall. The church was of Roman materials, but has cer tain Saxon features and is probably the oldest ex ample of ecclesiastical architecture in Leicester. The old Jewry Wall is a remnant of some old Roman build ing and is so named because of a legend that it was here that 16,000 Jews were killed during another era of religious persecution. Leicester, August 11, 1935. Left Leicester at 9:30 for a 110-mile lour through the Shakespeare country in central England. Our first stop was at the famous Kenilworth Castle, which is full of romantic history that makes good reading for both the old and young. It was constructed a long the lines of Caesar's Tower, which carries the architectural designs of the Normans. Later it was entirely changed by Robert Dudley, Queen Eliza beth's apparent favorite sweetheart, and she was en hjr Dudley at this old castle on several oc Everything was surrounded by massive walls for its protection and all within was pre pared for the lavish entertainment of a royalty that seemed to care little for virtue and decency. Much of the history of Kenihsorth has to do with murders and killings and intrigues of the royal families at a time when society was shot through with lechery and shame. The grounds and the castle are marvels of beauty and grandeur. * We next went to the old Warwick Castle. De stroyed by fire in 1694, it was rebuilt and is now in a fine state of preservation, with much valuable furni ture and man) fine paintings. The old water wheel which ground the corn and wheat nearly a millenium ago still turns tfie wheels to furnish the lights for the entire castle and grounds. The next point we visited was Straford-on Avon, Shakespeare's home town. The trip is very pleasing to take. The scenery presents much marvelous beau ty; beautiful tree- line the road on either side, also rolling fields where many horses, cattle and sheep lazily feed. The Avon, a -mall river making into the Severn, passes close to the town, furnishing the young folks an opportunity to swim and row. The Rev. Leland Cook, of Kins-tun, a Mr. Roberson, of Jacksonville, Fla., and I took a motorboat trip, going both up and down the river about a mile, where we saw many peo ple swimming anil many big white swans. 1 took a little time to fi.-h but, like many other other fisher men I know, caught none. We saw more boats of the small type, mostly rowboats, than I have ever seen on any river before. We were permitted to enter the theatre where the Shakespeare pla\- are given regularly. No play was scheduled at this time, however, so we only had the opportunity of sitting in the easiest seats that 1 have ever been privileged to occupy. Going on to the Ann Hathaway home, we passed through every room in the quaint old house. It has a roof of straw, or thratch, which has covered the old home for 375 years with only minor repairs. The old settee upon which William and Ann are said to have sat while carrying on their courtship is not up to those used by modern lovers. It is very hard and narrow, with a straight-up back. The old pans and pottery, as well as the pewter dishes used by the Hath away family are still in the building. Going to the birthplace of Shakespeare, we find a more pretentious home, better built, with the Shakes peare library, the rearm in which he was beam, and bedrooms used by the family, all in good repair. There is no record of the marriage of Shakesjreare and Ann Hathaway. Ie is said the record was lost, yet Britishers claim there is a bond attesting the 'fact that they were married in 1587, when ? Shakespeare was fif years oiil. " As a souvenir of the Shakespeare visit, 1 purchased a can of black Irish thornwood for the sum of two shillings. Our tour next took us to the Rugby School, one of the most famous boys' schools in the world, a beauti ful and costly |>lace. The story of "Tom Brown's School Days", written by Judge Thomas Hughes, has helped make it famous!" This is a book every boy and girl needs to read; it has a line of thought that they will like. We next Mapped at Leitterworth, the town where John Wycliffe, the famous reform preacher, did such a. bold and noble work, which has made him one of the great preachers of all ages. We had tea at one of the villages in the early after noon and reached the Grand Hotel at Leicester at 10 p. m., closing a very delightful day on the busses on the good roads of old England without a single mis hap. \ . \ W r Mammimc. Selling Tobacco at Home The grass, so the old saying goes, looks greener away from home. ;ind the shifting from one place to another has cost untold amounts, while the grass was found to be just a.- green and good at home. Far I* it from us to even hint or suggest that the farmers must sell tobacco on this or that market. While many of the Republicans may not think so, there is still some freedom left in this country, and the farmer certainly has the right to sell his tobacco where he pleases. There are many tricks and trades followed in promoting a tobacco market, no doubt, but there is one answer to the whole problem. The farmer who sells to his nearest market is the one who is coming out on top in the long run. If a farmer has to spend all his profits in financing a long haul to market, he just about as well stop growing tobacco. (living the mater some reasoning, one will find that this business of running all over the country to sell to bacco is a very unsound policy. Probably the seller finds satisfaction in the practice, but after all is said and done, the facts will show that he has not profited in a financial way. The Williamston market operators only ask that the game- lie played fairly and squarely, for when the truth is known it is certain that this market will con tinue to grow just that much more rapidly. It might be true that prices will vary on markets one day. They might be a few cents higher here today than those on another market the same day. The reverie might be the case on the very next day. No solution has been offered that would remedy the situation, and pricks will continue to vary even on one market. I)ay in and day out, year after year, the farmer sell ing tobacco on the Williamston Tobacco market will, in the end, find that he found it profitable to do so. Next Monday, the Williamston market opens a new season. The warehousemen and the people of the town, as a whole, ask the tobacco farmers to consider all the facts, for when this is done, it is virtually cer tain that this market will witness an ever-increasing growth with a greater friendship and understanding tesulting therefrom.
