Southern Assembly Worth Million
Dollars To W. N. C, Says Daniels
Ambassador To Mexico Address
ees Large Crowd At Lake On
Haywood County Day
Hon. Josephus Daniels told an au
tlience of several hundred at Lake
Junaluska last Sunday morning, which
marked the formal opening of the lake
for the 1936 Reason with an annual
Haywood County Day celebration,
that the lake a a Methodist Assembly
was worth a million dollars to West
ern North Carolina.
"I am interested in the future of
the assembly, and have the greatest
confidence that the people of the
Methodist church and of Western
North Carolina will raise the necessa
ry money to pay the debt. More and
more people will come here eacn
summer."
After his remarks about the assem
bly, Mr. Daniels began on the park,
stressing the fact that the citizens
of the state did not appreciate the
park as they .should. "Since 1887,"
he said, "I have had the dream about
the park, but little did I realize that
I would ever live to see it become a
reality."
"The people will come not in thous
ands, but 'by millions, and from all
Eastern America and even Central
America to visit this most beautiful
playground," he continued.
The speaker was introduced by W.
G. Byers, with James Atkins, general
manager of the assembly in charge of
the service. i
Mr. Daniels told briefly, of some
interesting facts relative to Mexico,
and then he began a discussion of the
place of the chuivh in the present
changing world,
"The leadership of the church is
challenged today," he said, "as not
'before in many years. It must meet
the challenge.'' ,
"In Jefferson's day he declared in
the Declaration that the three great
objectives for which Americans en
tered the war were 'life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness." That was
a radical change from the declaration
of the Confederation of "protection of
the rights of liberty and property."
While respecting and protecting the
right., of property, Jefferson saw that
human satisfaction consisted not of
possessions and held out the goal of
the age old desire of mankind hap
iness. "Times have changed. An econom
ic system, having some of the ills of
semi-feudalism, has altered conditi0ne
until as Mr. Roosevelt recently said,!
we are in danger of becoming a nation
of boarders instead of a nation of
home-owners. In the early days of
the republic any man could obtain
land and home and attain the happi
ness that comes through independent
existence. Today in industrial cen
ters most men work for a wage which
thev have no voice in fixing and hold
jobs without assurance of permanence.
Is it any wonder then that in order to
procure happiness they are looking for
security? The days of cheap land in
the West have gone, the ability from
small beginnings to build a prosper
ous industry have lessened, nearly all
the natural resources are in the hands
of a few corporations, and Business
has grown into monopolistic propor
tions. "As Business has flourished and
waxed fat in North Carolina, the per
centage of families who own their
homes has fallen from 45.9 per cent
to 41 per cent. Farm tenancy has
increased among white men until 59
per cent of the white farmers are ten
ants. Only Texas has a larger pro
portion of landless men than the State
of North Carolina. In the cities and
industrial plants the number of home

owners is even smaller than in the
rural districts. At the peak of unem
ployment there were 79.720 families
in this good state who were on relief.
Some of them were never-do-wells
who do not wish to work, but most of
them earnestly desired regular jobs.
With such a situation even in North
Carolina, and worse in some other
sections, and most of the property
owned by a small percentage of the
people, is it surprising that today tne
word Security looms large? Many
workers, even when they have regulat
es, are made unhappy by the con
sciousness that the compensation does
not justify making provision for old
age. Iherefore, governments, recog
nizing their humanitarian duty, are
providing old age pension and like
measures as sources of security. And,
unless the exaction of monopoly and
the greed of money-lovers is 'checked,
we shall find a growing necessity for
caring for this increasing army of men
and women who have been ousted
from happiness into insecurity.
"You ask me what have these eco
nomic conditions to do with the
church? My answer is that too often
the church has come under the con
demnation of early Christians who
.said to the-poor:' 'Be ye warmed and
filled' but did nothing to furnish com
fort and nourishment.
"Recently in the Northern Metho
dist church there has been a sharp
rlush between two influential ele
ments. Out in the open or under
cover it is the irreconcillable conflict
in all church circles. This particular
controversy grew out of an organized
agency to make the church a vital
force in bringing about a sounder eco
nomic condition, and a better appro-1
ciation of fundamental Christian an
swer to the age old question. 'Am I
my brother's keeper?' Under the
leadership of that great and militant
Methodist Bi.shop MeConnell, who bore
an honorable part in ending Sunday
work in the giant steel mills and
creating sentiment that resulted in;
reducing the working time to eight'
hours, a church organization sought;
effective ways to Improve the condi-j
tion of the forgotten man, to make an
end of war, the denial of profiteeringi
to munition manufacturers, and great
er consideration for the material well
being of the poor. This element -in the
church was animated by the God- in
spired test to man: 'Show me your
faith without your works.' They held:
that conversion and regeneration were
essential and must precede the institu
tional organizations for ameliorating
the condition of the poor. They were
truly Wesleyan. John Wesley and
George Whitfield preached the doc
trine of repentance under which men
were born into a new life. And then
Wesley established agencies of hu
man comfort which were the early
glory of Methodism.
"The championship of better living
conditions and demands for a better
economic system by church leaders
aroused the opposition of a group of
influential laymen who declared that
it was no concern of the church to
seek to mobilize for the minimum
wage, an end of slums, the abolition
of child labor and like reforms. They
declared that the church had but one
mission, to carry the gospel to .' the
individual and labor for his salvation.
They asserted that when the church
went beyond the seeking and caring
for soul of man, it was being untrue
to its Goi-given mission. They held
that the betterment of society was a
state function with which the church
had no divine authority to participate.
"It seemed at first that the conflict
was staged so that the church was
called upon to make a choice: Shall it
devote itself wholly to inducing and
strengthening faith, or .shall it put
faith to work to better the material
welfare of mankind? Some believed
that the church must make choice of
these alternatives, as if there was not
a wiser and more Christian way of
doiyg both to the glory of God and,
the welfare of mankind. j
"It need not be denied that a trend
toward an institutional church endan
gers its (spiritual. 'life. If men ever,
come to believe that social agencies,!
no matter how good, can take the j
place of old-fanhioned repentance and
faith, they will find they are leaning;
on a broken reed. Christianity can
not conquer by athletics and social!
events or plunging into politics. Butj
Christianity is false to its Carpenter;
founder if its sympathies are not
everywhere and at all times With the
oppressed. You cannot separate Faith
from Works. The one must inspire
the other.
