CAMP CAROLINA i Camp Carolina, our newest camp, opened with a larger attendance than expected for the first season. They are very proud of the fact that their lake is still perfectly clear in spite of the hard rains. The 'golf course is also proving a strong drawing carr). 1 THE PRAYER CORNER "Great Sufferers have been The Great Believers, This is the groat thought that came to me last week in my reading. I would share it with you. When folks have seen into human life deeply enough so that they perceive how adversity can be used to high ?ssues, faith in God becomes not so much- a speculative problem as a practical need. They want to deal with trouble nobly. They see that faith in God gives the outlook. * on life which makes the hopeful facing of adverse situations reasonable and which supplies power to make it pos e.ble. The result is that the Great Sufferers have been the great be lievers. The idea . that fortunate circumstances make vital faith in God probable is utterly unsupported by history. Hardly an outstanding champion of faith who has left an indelible impress on man's spiritual lifcj'can anywhere be found who has not won his faith and confirmed it f*ce of S trouble. ? What is f&frdivldu^ ia true of.gerielv a}?ons.. i?he days of Israel's triumph fcht faith did not come in Solomon's reign* when wealth was plentiful and fiat&'SaJ ambitions ran high.'

Stevenson, has expressed their faith: ''If I, from my spy hole, ' looking with puj-blind eye3 upon a-leaBt part of a fraction of the Universe, yet perceive^- iij- rn^ 'ovyn destiny , some broken ^evidences of a plan and some sij^ials'df an over ruling goodness iWVUj iien.be so mad as to, complain that all cannot be decipMr^^' Sifiali I n<4 rathe*1, wonder with infinite and (tratefijl surprise, that in so vast a scheme I seem to have been " able to re^a, however little, and that lit tle was encouraging to faith A Prayer For The Suff>ring ^And ? y Sorrowing. We thank thee O God that Thou dost ride upon the cloud and govern the storm.- All that to' us . is dark, is light to Thee. The night shineth as the >day. 'All that which seems to us irregular and ungovemed is held in Thine Hanl^'^ven as the steed by the rein. iFrbjn.age to age Thou dost, cqntiol the long procession of events discerning the end from the beginning and all the. wild mixture, all the confusion, all the sorrow and all the suffering," is disfcerned by Thee.

' Sorrow and pain and disaster are woven in the loom of God and in the en<J we too, shall be permitted to . discern ! the fair pattern and understand how that which brought tears here shall bring righteousness there. O how good, it is to trust Thee and to be lieve that Thou art wife, and that Tftou art, full of compassion, as Thoo^jfarriest oon Thy great work of love a)id benevolence, sympathyzing wi^h a5 that suffer on the way and gathering them at list with an ex ceeding great salvation. We trust Thee, not Because we understand Thee, but because in many things Thou hast taught us where we should have been afraid to trust. We have crossed many ? gulf, and many a roaring stream upon the bridge Of faith and have exulted to find our selves safe landed and have learned ?0 trust "Thee as a child a parent, as a passenger the Master of a ship, not because we know -but because Thou knowest. f Amen.

Davis, Nominee for Presi*^ dent; C. W. Bryan , Running Mate "On Wednesday the long deadlock in the Democratic Convention was broken. As the roll was called for the 103rd. time Gov. Brandon of ' Ala. for the '103rd. time shouted "Alabama twenty four for Under wood." As the last name on ffhc roll was being cabled, and state after state had fallen into the Davis col4 umn, Governor Brandon secured rec cognition and shouted "Alabama changes its vote. Twenty four for Davis." Then tjp avalanche came. ,The secretary .was unable to record the vote. Tom 'faggart of Indiana made the motion \ which, cast aside the rules aj-.-l made the nomination of Davis unanimous. John Temple Graves, noted lectur er and journalist who is now in Ash ville, Said in a congratulatory' tele gi^r.-.n tp $tr. Davis. "This is the fin est tribute to character in three de ciles of Democracy. v _ - : '"In one liberated and inspired day the Democratic Convention has atonecj a fortnight of stormy - days and foolish troubled flights. "John W.' Davis matches Calvin. Coolidge in every shining* point of character ard surpasses him in a' dozen winning qualities. The high personal equatioh has been more than balanced. If this is to be a campaign of character, then indeecf a redeemed 'Democracy has already won."

"Any lesser man than-Da.via would ( have :? stood; nq chance against -his unquestioned eiiii inence but in Davis the President ift surpassed. .' ?? Democracy has not for 30 years selected a nominee of the strength of John W. ,Davis." } ' John William Davis was born in Clarksburg, W. Va? in 1873,. the only- son in a family of six children^ 'His father, John J. Davis, was an attorney- and was constantly active in civic enterprises. He served in the legislature of the. state and was twice elected to Congress. Mrs. Anna Kennedy Davis, the:mother of John W. Davis, was a native of Bal-' timore. ?? ' Mr. Davis - was graduated frond Washington and Lee University the age of 19. He won the law de^ gree and was admitted to the bar at the age of 22. Davis has never been in office ? seeker but office has sought him. | In 1898 he was sent to v the legis lature of W. Va. ? He was made chairman of the judiciary committee ! of the House and later flob* leader j of his party. In 1910 the Democrats of his dis trict chose him for Representative in Congress and he was elected in a district that had been Republican for 20 years. He was re-elected in 1912. In Congress Mr. Davis was made chairman of the Judiciary Com mittee. He took an active, part in. the impeachment and trial of Jud^e Robert W. Archbald. As a result of. his service on this committee President Wilson' select ed him as Solicitor-General in 1913,' and Mr. Davis resigned from the House to accept that office. Mr. Davis, in the summer of 1918 went to Europe as a member of ,the committee of three American to treat with Germany as to the ex change of prisoners of war. fie He was in Berne on this mission when, upon the resignation of the late Walter Hines Page, Mr. Wilson made. Mr. Davis the American am bassador to Great Britain. Upon Mr. Davis' return to the United States in 1921, he joined the law firm ir^ which Grover Cleveland had membership when he was nomi nated as the Democratic candidate for Presidency in 1892. He soon j became Qne of the leaders of the ) New York bar. .Governor Charles W. Bryan of j Nebraska, was chosen for the second j phver after his friends had placed before Mr. Davis and his conferees an arer'iment for selection nf a 3pes'-! em man of -proven executive capaci ty, familiar with agriculture and in sympathy with the liberal sentiment ' . > ? ; ? : ?
