As Miss Sallie Bailey (sister of Sen ator Josiah Bailey) Mrs. Jones served seven years as corresponding secre tary.

You open your paper. ofne morninsr and find that there is disorder which threatens world peace in Manchuria, and that Japan is proceeding to pacify the land and restore law and order. Japan restores peace with infantry, artillery, tanks and bombing planes; and when the smoke clears away, we find that peace has been restored and that in the process man- churia has become Manchukuo. That is iftJl just as simple a& A- B,. C, In fact such in the A. B. C, fof imperiaiism. But Mussolini! What does he do?

And then he selects a day which is fine and Jear, and good for photographers. And then he goes out on the balcony all dressed up in his new store clothes. And then he swells up his chest 100 per cent., and sticks out his chin as far as it will go, and orates and declaimsand gesticulates and rends the at mosphere, and thrills the popu lace and defies the world. Thousands of cam Iras click so loudly that you can hardly hear what he is talking about; but you do gather that he is de fyihjr the world;-, The ,FascistV not ' being 'aM lpwea any tnras, ao not sue them out and aot being al lowed any chests, do not swell their chests up; but they do salute like mad no pain of castor oil and they do shout wildly, and march furiously up and down, and get in the newsreels. Next morning the world reads the speech and sees the pictures, and wonders what it is being defied about. But it does not have to won der long. On another good photo- .graphic day, Mussolini gets himself another balcony and another suit of store clothes, and he sticks out the same chin only a little farther and he swells up the same chest just a little more, and to the accompanying click of a myriad cameras sounding like the combined castanets of all the Astiirias he tells the world that Italy is a mighty nation and has a destiny. v wit to fulfil its destiny, it must expand. , And that the ftest expanding lace that he can think of at the moment is Ethiopia. And that Ethiopia is con venint to Somaliland and Eri trea, where Italy has already expanded; and that Ethiopia has timber and minerals and lots of things which Italy needs. And that Italy has a great army ana a great avy ana great air force and a great leader modesty forbids mss unjust and immoral and mentioning the name and . that, anyhow, she saw Ethiopia that Ethiopia will be a cinch for Italy. Thus declaims Mussolini, fearlessly facing a barrage of cameras. '. And thus, declares Mussolini can Italy fulfil her magnificent i destiny with no narticular trouble except the slaughter of a few thousand negligible Ethiopians. ; And then the surviving Ethi opians, when taught the salute of the ancient Romans, will make good soldiers in.

Whereupon England sticks a hatpin in the most intelligent part of the League of Nations, and wakes that somnolent body from its trance. Then France, which owns the League of Nations, tells it to do its stuff, and also specifies what stuff to do and what not to do particularly what NOT to do. Then the League emits a few harmless sanctions and rolls o ver and goes to sleep again. Then England moves her mighty fleet into the Mediter ranean, and France agrees to stand with England against It aly if England will agree to stand with France against Ger many. And so the basis of another World War is laid. And so, too, Mussolini be gins to learn that the fulfill ment of Italy's destiny is not going t6.be quite the picnic he hid imagined. Obstacles arise. England declares impress ively that war is a crime a- gainst civilization. So. she proceeds to arm the Ethiopians. England also decides that xne conquest 01 Ethiopia, a poor, harmless savac nation. first, and that the sources of the Blue Nile are in Ethiopia, and that Ethiopia is adjacent to Egypt, an English protector ate, and that in the interests of human progress and human e- thics and human rights im plied in the Magna Charta (whenever necessary) s h e must interfere to prevent the consummation of so great a wrong.

Pipes, representing the Baptist headquarters in Raleigh, will be in the French Broad Miss ionary Baptist Association all next week, from Oct. 21 - 27, engaging in a series of Stewardship schools in the several churches of the associa tion. For the first time in the life of tfia denomination, ifiotfc directing its affai-s are undevtakinsr to bring k church school of this nature to every Baptist church within the bounds of the convention's 2600 churches. It is the idea of the Rev. Mr. Pipes to assembble ttie ministers of Hs association, together with lead ing lay people, go rapidly with them through the book to be used, and then with his teachers., to go into ivery church in Die association and put on such a school for the week. T ,u ui, ii .-i i u " bey.s are invited, togethe, with any others who may b interested. ed, we wild open our morninar paper one day and read that England possesses 1-2 of E thiopi'a and that Italy possesses the other half the worst half. Then Mussolini, in a brand new suit of store clothes and from a brand-new set of balco nies, and to a brand-new gen eration of cameramen, will swell up his chest and stick out his chin, and tell the world that Italy's new and Greater desti ny lies in the direction of Au stria and Czecho-Slovakia, and that the one-half of Ethiopia that Italy did not get was the hell-hole of creation, anyhow, There is only one thing, how ever for, America to do in this situation, and that is to mind its own . business and let the na: tions of the Old Wprld letttej among (themselves the import' ant question of whether desti ny can best be fulfilled by pri vacy or publicity. I am sure that the above is the sound opinion of the vast majority of the American peo ple, but perhaps all Americans will not agree with me in re gard to the following: I personally do not think that the nations of the Old World can be blamed for ex panding. They may have selfish mo tives. Most of us are motivated by intelligent self-interest. But they are carrying the light of civilization into the dark places of the earth. It was thus that America was rescued from savagery. We Americans are enjoying today the fruits of the energy, ambition and ruthless deter mination of earlier expansion ists. Spain, England, France, Sweden, Holland, in periods of growth and vigor, expanded ;.nto this new land, then as as rk a continent S Africa is today, Why should not the vigor ous nat&nj of Europ reclaim the vast wastes of Africa, and dedicated them to civilized de velopment? Does anyone think thu In dians would have attained the enlightenment and achieve ment which America now en joys? . Does anyone think the bush men could have developed 'Au stralia, or that the savage races of Africa could create a high type of civilized develop ment? If these races could do so, they delayed too long. Prog ress cannot wait. The march of. civilization must move on, and those who do not move with it are left to languish by the way. " ; r That seems to be the Divine decree. At least, it is the law of. progress, in e x o ra b 1 e throughout nature. aBfl defi nitely beneficial in the devel opment of mankind. V " ' . .

The devotional exercises were con ducted by Dr. E. Gibson Davis, of Asheville and the closing prayer wa led by Dr. Fred Brown, of Knox ville. Music was furnished by the, college Glee Club and orchestra. Ser ator Josiah W. Bailey was give quite an ovation (as he entered the hall and was given continuous ap plause following his masterly address. Senator Bailey used three passage of scripture as a basis for his speech, one being "Replenish the earth and subdue it". Most of. the address was around the throught of subdue ing the earth, the sea, and the sky. In the college dining hall the taw bjes were arranged in hose-shoe-shape, decorated in fall colors of forest leaves and set wiifi a delight ful luncYieon. For that meal the col lege students were served elsewhere and only a sufficient number of stu dents were present to serve. The exercises at this banquet. were ctoarge of the Rev.
