POINT OF VIEW
“As a private citi^n and not as
Associational Director,** Brother C.
C. Duckworth has a le^al right to at
tack the league of nations if he wishes
to do so; and it *s evident that his
“fourth message” and his “second”
message” are expressions of ijis own
private opinion and do not represent
the opinion of the Baptists of the
Transyivan a Association it wculd
have been much more appropriate if
he had headed those articles, in large
type, with the expression, “MY
CONVICTIONS AS A PRIVATE
CITIZEN AND NOT AS THE AS
SOCIATIONAL DIRECTOR,” in
stead of reserving that statement un
til near the close of the “fourth mes
sage.”
The Transylvania Association, it
is quite certain, will not Indorse the
statement that “the league of nations
is rotten,” for we do not yet have
any league of nations. Neither will,
the Association assert that the league
of nations, if established, will be “rot
ten”, because none of us know what
it will be. There are differences of
opinion. The Association will not un
dertake to “crawl thru the curtain of
futurity and read what is writ in the
book of tomorrow.” Besides, the Lea
gue of Nations is a question of State,
and for a Baptist Church or an as
sociation of Baptist churches to begin
meddling in political matters would
be departing radically from one of
our fundamental church principals.
Except for the headlines in the As
sociational Director’s “fourth mes
sage,” one would naturally conclude
that the “message” was written for
the exclusive purpose of bitterly de
nouncing the principals of the league
of nations and those who believe in
those principals. How much more
consistent it would be if the Director
would write in the spirit of brotherly
love and in the interest of the great
campaign for securing subscriptions
by the Baptists of the South, to the
amount of Seventy-five Million Dol
lars, to be paid in five years, for the
purpose of carrying forward our work
in Christ along the lines of Christian
education, state missions, home mis
sions, foreign missions, ministerial
relief, hospitals and orphanages!
Every Baptist in all the churches of
our Association would do well to
carefully read or re-read in the Bre
vard News of Oct. 3rd the excellent
article headed “Baptists Launch Word
Program;” and then, trusting in God
to lead, desiring to have part in the
establishment of the Kingdom of
Christ , taking the Bible for instruc
tion and guidance and the Holy Spirit
as Director, enter the work earnestly,
diligently, ^prayerfully, with a deter
mination t6 help put Transylvania As
sociation “over the top” in this great
and glorious Seventy-five Million Dol
lar Camj^ign. Let us all be “Volun-
in this campaign
made in the interest
for the welfare of
humanity, 2'„z Ihe Mlvaiiou ol th<
mankind of the world over, for the
hastening of the day when the earth
shall be full of the Imowledge of th<
Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Fraternally,

WHY HAVE WE
SO MUCH SHtlFE?
Why have we so much strife in the
United States? Fundamentally it is
because the thoughts of the people
have been on war for the past two
years. “As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he.” And the same is
true of a collection of men, of the
people who make u0 the nation. Our
thoughts have been on war, and the
ways of war, and the implements of
war. We have thought of the sub
marine that conceals itself in the
bosom of the deep, of the aircraft
that hovers overhead and bombards
from above, of guns that carry their
deadly missils for miles, of the bar
rage of deadly gas and curtains of
fire. We have thought of force as a
means of accomplishing our purpose.
We were compelled to do so, for we
were opposed by a powerful, ingen?
ious and unscrupulous enemy.
And after the war was over the
same spirit was in us and the same
thoughts. In consequence we have
had strife on every hand; in the halls
of Congress, in commerce and indus
try, in the affairs of government.
Our habit of thought is warlike, and
so long as that is the case strife will
continue. There will be no peace
until our thoughts turn to peace and
to the methods of peace, until we de
termine to cast aside the implements
of war and employ the instrumental
ities of peace in settling our difficul
ties. We must let reason and the
spirit of conciliation take the place
of rashness and passion. We must
employ arbitration instead' fbf the
sword.
There is a time for war and* there
is a time for peace. The war in
Europe was necessary. It was the
inevitable result of the habit of
thought of warlike people. The Ger
mans had been thinking war for gen
erations. They had been toasting
‘The Day.” They had been prepar
ing for the conflict, and at the right
time they sounded the tocsin and let
loose their dogs of war. They forced
the world into war, and the nations
opposed had no alternative. They
had to fight, and in time the United
States was drawn into the war. It
could not be avoided.
But the war is over, and now is the
time for peace. In nature’s economy
storms are necessary. But after evr
ery storm there is a calm. The storm
clears up the situation and makes a
tolerable calm possible. The calm
which follows the storm is logical.
It follows in obedience to natural
law.
The world has had its war storm,
the most terrific war storm in history.
But the storm is over, or should be,
and the world is entitled to a season,
at least, of calm and peace.
The only thing that prevents peace
is the obstacle thrown in the way of
the treaty of peace by a handful of
men in the United States Senate.
And we may say just here that it is
time for the storm in the Senate to
cease. There has been a severe storm
of “wind” in that body, but it is tTme
for the storm to blow itself out. It
is time for th^^lning billowarlSf ora-
i^ory to subside. It is time for Sena-
stop blowing, to' stop impend-
teeaty l^jy conjuring up all
maner of objections to it, to stop
trying how not to do it and to bend
their energies hoiiestly and patriot
ically in an effort to do it and so help
in restoring peace .^ong nations.
When that is done, i^hen the Treaty
of Peace is ratified the League
of Nations established,^ the thought
of the people will turn peace and
the ways and methods of Aeace. And
the thoufe. ^f the pe<wle of the
United States wKl be diff^nt. The

adre which is to begin at 11 o’clock
in front of the Franklin Hotel and
proceed as may be directed over,
around and about in town. The pa
rade is not to be continued to such
a length of time as would make it
tiresome, so we wish to have every
pupil in the county to came and fall

It is our desire that all the schools
come in such a manner as to be dis-
tinguish^ed from the representative
spools of the county. You will re

for the best exhibit from any school

not to be counted, nor is Brevard
High School to be counted in this
contest on the census basis) howev
er, Brevard High School is to be in
the parade, but they are not to re
ceive the prize- for the reason that
they are not visitors.
Any teachers in the county who
had any pupils who were to-receive
seventh grade diplomas last year and
have not as yet received them, will
please have said children report to
me at the Brevard High School build
ing together with their teachers and

What now is the church’s cause?
Is it the mere maintenance of paro
chial machinery? Is it keeping, the
life going in a particular congrega
tion as a gathering of men and wom
en for centampious exercises on Sun
day? Is it raising debts and meeting
current expenses and paying coal
bills and assembling choirs? Is it
furnishing a place where a certain
privileged group may coihe and be
comfortably interested for a certain
while on Sunday?
No, these things are only so much
service of supplies for the real ad
venture, only the organization behind
the front that is to energize the light-
ing line. The fighting line is the pur
pose of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
come true on the earth. It means
the carrying out of the church’s
ideals unto every practical and every
day affair of life. It means that the
impact of Christian convictions is to
be felt in the business, the industry,
the politics, of city, state and nation.
It means the world-wide vision of
Christian missions.
The church which understands she
is put here to win for her Lord not
some little fragment of Anglo-Sax-
ondom, but the fullness of human
kind for which He died upon His
Cross, must have her eyes made
splendid by her world vision.
She must be looking into dark plac
es of our own land, into the slums of
^eat cities, where men and women
are crowded close by evil, into the
mountain hollows with their isolation
and ignorance, and beyond these, out
into the life of great non-Christian
nations, because there the same es
sential human nature, with its same
great needs of ignorance and sin
waits for the redeeming influence of
Jesus Christ to build the kind of civi
lization which must be built in all
our world, if the civilization of our
part of it is to be secure.

For the past two or three weeks the
New^ has been laboring against odds.
Owing to the unprecedented dry
weather the water sv^ply at the pow
er house became very low, consequent
ly- the power voltage is low and it
makes it difficult for us to handle the
news as we would like. We are often
compelled to close down for a few
hours in order to let the machine
get hot. However, we hope this con
dition will not last long and we ask
our friends to overlook our short
comings until conditions improve.

BREVARDINSIinFTE
The citizms of Buncombe and other
counties in Western North Carolina
have found that Community Singing
has been of great benefit as well as
pleasure, and Transylvania'will also
find out the benefits therefrom. Not
only does it benefit by bringing the
people together for a most commen
dable purpose but it also trains the
minds and voices of the young peo
ple and helps to keep the old and
middle-aged young.
And last but not least, it is of a
religious nature and inspires proper
thinking and acting among those who
participate. A song service on Sun
day tends to drive out rancor, envy
and ha':3 from the hearts and minds
of tho'-^ who take part in the exer
cise. 1 '.le singing of Hymns is as
benefic'al in many instances as listen
ing tc "rmons and every one should
come c and take part in the Song
Servic :o be held on next Sunday,
beginr ^ at ten o’clock in the morn
ing at Erevard Institute.
Thir "'eeting is non sectarian and
is a u on meeting for all the people
of all I];3 churches to meet and enjoy
a spiritual meeting expressed by
joyous aong service.
CODNnFADt
OCT. 14 AND 15
The exhibits at the county fair next
Tuesday and Wednesday promise to
break all previous records in both
quanity and quality of exhibits, and
competitions for the bules, reds, and
whites will be keen.
All of the exhibits to compete for
prizes must be in place by ten o’clock
Tuesday. Boys wishing to enter the
beef cattle and dairy caftle judging
contest should report to the secretary
at one o’clock Tuesday. The carpen
ters are at work building pens for
livestock and making arrangements
for every department of the fair. The
livestock will be in the rear of King’s
Garage, the ladies exhibits and farm
and field crops in the court house and
the poultry exhibits in Brevard Hard-
wrae Machinery shed.
The fair association is fortunate in
securing the following judges for the
fair: Mr. J. M. Gray, district agent;
Mr. J. W. Sloss, beef cattle specialist;
Mr. W. R. Brintall, dairy cattle spe
cialist; and Miss Feimster, home dem
onstration agent for Jackson County.
Everybody is urged to bring some
kind of exhibit for the fair. The
fair is the cheapest and the best way
to advertise anything you have for
sale.
Come and bring the family.
BREVARD HIGH
SCHOOL OPENS
The Brevard High School o^ned
last Monday with the largest enroll
ment in its history, there being a
lai^et nuihber of pupils registered
for Hie eight grade than for any of
the thre other grades.
Owing to the delay in the comple
tion of the new high school building,
the old building is having to be used
in two shifts. The three upper gram
mar grades occupy the building in
the mornings and the high school in
the afternoon. It is hoped that^ the
new building will be ready for occu
pancy within the next few weeks so
that all grades may attend at the
same time and thereby relieve some
of the teachers from double duty.
The teachers for the high school
are Misses Ty^er and Goode and Mrs.
Godfrey.
