C The campaign for raising funds in North Carolina for the Near East College movement is definitely under way, according to Captain Claude W. Hopper, Southern Director who adds that the response so far from the call for donations has been remarkable and gratifying. Lieutenant Governor J. Elmer Long, state chairman of the movement, is outspokenly optimistic over the. out- come. Director says that Governor Long has thrown himself wholeheartedly into the work, in regard to which the Lieutenant says: "The movement being launched in North Carolina, in co-operation with other states, to raise funds with which to endow the six institutions of learn ing in the Near East is singularly worthy from every standpoint. This investment ny me oirn v,armm m American people is one of mternation . . i .1 -kY . i r 12 .1 ai good will, it is unique iu mai ii. provides not alone education, where education where education is most sorely needed, but that it carries in- i. t i J J.1 a to tne near orient unuer K ui our repuDlic tne gospels oi iiDerty, of freedom and of truth. "The six colleges composing the group in question are: Robert Col lege, Constantinople, American Uni versity of Beirut, Constantinople Wo man's College, International College of Smyrna, Sofia American Schools and Athens College, in Greece. These institutions are Christian in spirit but nonsectarian. They are open - to the youth of all nationalities and, reli gions. They represent the most impor tant contact for mutual understand ing between Christianity, Eslam and Judaism.

"We hear a great deal from time . x. ,, . T ... to time," said Governor Long, in regard to a world movement for dis- armament. We read a few years back of a 'war to end war." To my mind . . .. , . . there is but one method to end war and to effect international disarma-; ment, and this method has its foun dation in education. "For centuries the Near Eastern Countries have incubated the wars of the world. They have beeq a veritable hot-bed of incendiarism, and inex haustable mine of international hat reds. Hatred, as a rule, is based on ignorance. The cure for ignorance is education. Turkey has become a re public. The time is ripe to carry the torch of American ideals into the lands of the Near East. That institu tion, or nation, which carries the. Gol den Rule across the Dardanelles to the Golden Horn, will, in my judg ment, have gone further towards ef fecting nation-wide disarmament than all international conferences which might be arranged. "The Near East College Associa tion, whose aim is to carry enlighten ment and education into the Near East, contemplates one of the most momentous movements inaugurated horns, 22; Minorcas, 7; and Cornish since the World War.

A beautiful dinner was served after which Uncle Allen offered up a very touching prayer, which was followed by very interesting talks by Mr. Levi Metcalf, Mr. Levi, John, George and Jake Buckner and others. Mr: Buckner is one of our pioneer setttlers who helped to blaze the way for our present progress. He fought, and lived, through the bloody strife of the Civil War, and the gloomy and oppressive period of reconstruction ever remaining true to the cause.be deemed just. Mr. Buckner became a member- of the Baptist church at an early age-and has led a consistent christian life through all the years, pointing .sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaugh ters and neighbors to the cross of the crucified one. Uncle Allen's eyes are blind to the sight of earthly things, but he carries in his mind a living vision of a beau tiful christian experience which car ries him back to the old chinquapin grove where he wrestled with God found peace that was sweet to his I soul. It is marvelous to hear the soul stirring experience -f this venerable God and z :':en to his earn fs: '.tailing pray:r for the salvation ox the children o men. Uncle Allen r-ayi that, c ucation is a great thing, i'V.t " 'ucation alone cannot save the .v-rlJ, ic must be linked up with the "Old time religion."' I Uncle Allen is a brother of Mr. Levi Buckner of Burnsville, N. C. father of Mr. George Buckner with whom he lives, and father of Mr. John and Jake Buckner of Mars Hill and Mrs. Buncombe Marshbanks of Ivy. Call on Uncle Allen if you would see the beauty of age. From FAUST A birthday dinner given at the home of Mr. Georare Buckner on last ( Saturday in honor of Uncle Allen i Buckner was much enjoyed by all and he has seemed for several years just to be waiting the call to go to his eternal home. On the fourh Sunday in October at 2 P.M., there will be a Sunday School Convention held at the Upper Laurel Methodist Church. Especially do we want every S. S. in our tc.""5hipto be represented. So come out. We will hear some good speaking and the ob ject of this meeting is to promote our Sunday School work. Little Miss Ruth Proshia has been very sick with tonsilitis but is some better at this writing. Fred Bryan and Jesse Randolph were out 'possum hunting and caught a fat one.
