C r. a ' THE OOSPI-X OF QUIETXESS. ; ; The Outlook.' ;- c This Is the nofsest age that ' men hare lived through. There are more people in the world; ther .travel more than ever before, they are more gregarious, and they use far more machinery. The little cities oi antiquity were not silent cities; they were neighborhoods rather than great communities, and. they were vocal with the sounds of human work and companionship. But electric cars did not-rudh through the' nar row streets, and the strident horn of the automobile was not heard. More men are in arms today than ever b- fore. t Battles that were once ended at' nightfall, now run into months: armies are how counted by million. cannon by thousands; artillery duel are continuous, and the ror of great guns Is deafening over vast territo ries and for months together. The noise out of doors is supple mented by the noise wtthta doors There are, for many people, no set tled principles, no fundamental con victions ; every statement . is chal lenged, every belief denied, every custom questioned. Everywhere men and women are talking at the top pT their voices; no mysteries are Invio late; no experiences are too sacred to be reported ; ,no details of crimen are so revolting that they are not spread out for the reading of chil dren. The passion fqr speech has not only robbed silence of things once committed to its keeping, but ba made it almost obsolete. The worlC is filled with the uproar of fierce debate, recrimination, charge and countercharge; the newspapers ten the story of the day s doings in head lines, gigantic capitals advertise rem edies for quieting the. nerves, and scores of best-sellers among novels "start with a rush and end with a banK." Wise men and women are finding out that emphasis is secured, not by force and exaggeration, -but by mod eration and quietness of statement. Here and there In the uproar a still. small voice arrests attention. In a revolutionary age there is always much and noisy talk; but has not the time come for lower tones, for a milder temper, for less bitterness of spirit, for the quietness which listens and tries to, understand? When ev erybody shouts, there are few listeners. In crowds there sometimes come sudden silences that are almost un canny In their eiTect. Has not the time come for one of those moment? of silence? There is too much hys teria In the air; feeling is mounting to a dangerous height; society is Be coming ominously divided. Instead of standing off and shouting charge? at one another, as some employers and some workers are doing, w ought to come quietly together and try to understand why and how we differ. Americans need an army or evangelists of the gospel of quiet ness. Describing the visit of a groun of Hindus to this country. Professor William James wrote: "More than one of them has confided to me that the sight of our .faces, contracted aa they are with: American over-intensify of expression, made a painful im pression upon him.'' I do not see. said one of them. -'how it is possi ble for you to live as you do. with out a Bingle minute In your day giT en to tranquility and meditation. It is an invariable part of our Hindu life to retire for at least half an hour dally into silence, to relax our mus cles, to govern our breathing, to med itate on eternal things. Every Hin du child is trained to this from a very early age." We are getting many holidays: why not set aside half an hour every day for silence? IMtAY FOR THE PHKAOHKIX. Biblical Recorder. 'an one sympathetically hear a sermon without sincerely praying for him who delivers it? Certain it is that no harsh critic of the pulpit can get from It a profitable message, no matter how truthful, eloquent and timely it may be. Jonathan Ed wards long ago uttered a trutn which needs emphasis today. lie said: "if some Christians that have been complaining of their ministers had said and acted less before men and had applied themselves with ait their might to cry tOGod for their ministers had, as it were, risen anil stormed heaven with their humble, fervent and incessant prayers for them they would have been muca more in the way of success." 8150,000 fOR COLLEGE RCC""EKuE0 151 1 TRUSTEES REPORT ... s .

In the State, after having pasa .ed through a series of fiery and fi nancial ordeals, now faces her grav est responsibility and greatest op portunity. This institution Is the on ly A-grade college for women In North Carolina Methodism, and one of only two colleges jointly owned by both conferences of North Caro lina Methodism, ,the other institution being Trinity College. Several years ago a Joint commis sion consisting of the two confer ence Boards of Education recom mended as the educational policy of North Carolina Methodism that Trinity College be recognized as the standard college for men and Greens boro college as the standard college for women and that the other insti tutions in the State under confer ence supervision be respectively cor related with these two institutions. This report was adopted by the two ensuing annual conferences as the educational policy of North Caro lina Methodism. it is believed that the time has come when the Methodists of tne State should arise in their united strength and equip Greensboro Col lege as the stronghold fqr young women, as Trinity College has be come equipped for the education of young men. in the report of the college trust ees submitted to the conference to- Gaston bounty Gaston with af population of 47,000, has more cotton mills than any ot;ur county In the United Ktates to oar knowledge, OS now operating,' six more building."

On and after January 1, 1017, the subscription price of The Gazette will be $2 the year in stead of $1.50 as at present. Until that date new subscrip tions and renewals will be taken at the old price. AU subscrip tions are strictly cash in ad vance. Thin increase in the price of the paper is rendered imperative because of the un precedented increase in the cost of print paper and all other ma terials which enter into the making of a newspaper. Don't forget that we do all kinds of ftrst-claas Job printing. of interest: Our registration for the school year 1915-1916 was- 245. Of these ti were day students and 171 board ing students. Our enrollment the present year will exceed that of last year somewhat, but cannot go mucu beyond last year's enrollment on ac count of limited dormitory space. We tal.e pleasure in reporting that we have been able to meet the in creased requirements' of our Com mission on Education for an A grade college. Among other things tne Commission requires an annual in come, exclusive of interest on indebt edness of llu.ouu.uO. Our margin above thfs amount was very small and in order that we may maintain our position it is necessary that tue Conference deal liberally with the college in its appropriation from tue educational fund It is our conviction that the time has arrived Uor another forward movement on behalf of the college. Another dormitory Is a necessity since we are unable to accommodate all the students who wish to attend our college, and an increased endow ment is also necessary if we are go ing to meet the growing needs of the institution. The President of the col lege has already secured about $17.- 000. (ru In subscriptions toward dormitory, and we are now ready to begin a campaign for an increase of our endowment by one nunareu thousand dollars. We need tor both endowment and buildiugs $150,000 00 including the proposed, new dorm itory. During the month of Septem ber there was held at the college a joint meeting of the Board of Edu cation of the two North Carolina Conferences to consider the interests of our institution and they unami nously endorsed the niovement for a campaign for 1 1 50,000.00 for en dowment and buildings, lour Board of Trustees at their Annual meeting in October authorized this campaign. and we trust that it will be the pleas ure of this conference to give its ay iroval to this movement. We have placed in the hands of your Board of Education our Audi tor's report giving a complete state ment of our finances for the year end ing June 30. 1916 We respectfully request that you elect and confirm J. W. Harris, Hign Point. N. C, as Trustee of the col lege, since his term expires December 31, 1916. We also request the appointment of Rev. S. B. Turrentine as President of the college and W. M. Curtis as secretary and treasurer. Resnectfully submitted. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Referring to the action taken at the joint meeting of the two boards of education, the Greensboro Daily News gave a timely editorial In be half of a greater Greensboro College for women, which follows: "We can see but 'one thing wrong with the proposal to raise $150,000 from the two Methodist conferences for Greensboro college, and that Is the fact that the sum ought to be half a million. There is the conso lation of remembering, howeverf that if the Methodists give the col lege $150,000 now, s they will sooner or later give, it the half million; for every man who gives the college a dollar, buys an interest in it; and once Methodism becomes really in terested it will never stop until it has made the college what it ought to be. "The decision of the two confer ences to combine in the offort to place Greensboro college on a sound finan cial footing Is In line with the prac tice of the other larger denomina tions. The Baptists had a number of small struggling women's schools, but 15 years ago they concentrated on Meredith; and as a resHilt Mere dith today is in many ways' the lead ing women's college of the 1 State. The Presbyterians ' have seveal schools, but they are centering now on Flora McDonald; they say that they are going to give it $500,000, and If they do they will come mighty near shoving Meredith into second place. In Trinity the Methodists al- 36 Your Friends can buy anything you can give them except' your TbotograpL ' ; IIAKE - Phone 196 ' Una; surely Methodist girls are worth as much attention as Metho dis boys. . "There are, to bex sure, plans on foot for a "co-ordinate college" at Trinity. We hope that they will be carried through, but that will not supply the need for a first-class wom an's college under Methodist control. Regardless of co-ordinate colleges. Trinity will remain Trinity to the end of the chapter, just as Harvard is Harvard, regardless of Radcliffe. As long as Trinity retains its present character, the co-ordinate college must remain a side-issue.. "We submit that Methodist wom anhood is entitled, to a college of its own. It has been treated as a thing of secondary importance quite long enough. And if it is to have a first rate college, where will it be easier to erect than on the foundation laid by the old G. F. C? Moneyless and, It seemed at time, almost friendless, Greensboro college has nevertheless not-survived merely but gained a place in the esteem and affection of thousands of Methodist families. If it has done so well under handicaps so heavy, what might it not accom plish if it were free to fulfill its des tiny? "The release of the tremendous po tentialities stored up in the institu tion needs only a little money to be a thing accomplished. Supplying the money ought to be no more than child's play to the great Methodist church of North Carolina; for no where can It hope to gain larger re turns on its investment." THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE. Dr. W. B. Belbie. Principal or Manchester College, Oxford, and well known by his books in America, prophesies concerning the Churca that is to follow the war. He does not see in it any essential change in doctrine, but a great revival of. spirit ual fervor and thoroughgoing Chris tian conduct. The emphasis in the standards of admission, he suggests, must be siiifted from doctrinal as sent to positive evidences of tne Christian life. The Church cannot be a great spiritual force until Us members give evidence of possessing spiritual reality in their Ijves. They must be able to Impress the outside world with the glory and beauty of Christianity.- Jn the ideal Church of the future everybody will be present five minutes before time, everybody on Sunday morning would be up early, have an early breakfast, and spend an hour before service In pray er, reading, and devotion. Devices and tarradiddles will not be depended upon to make worship attractive, and' it will not be engineered or manu factured. Only the Spirit of God will he relied upon. Preaching will be accompanied with less literary elaboration. Manuscript wffl be dis carded and talk will be straight. The test of a Church, he insists. Is in the way it runs its' Sunday school. In the future Church unity will be more valued than doctrinal peculiarities Northwestern Christian Advocate. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Arrival and departure passings j trains,.

Herald and Presbyter The confident faith of childhood is transformed in the Christian lire to the joyful trust of old age. Dr. Henry Clay Trumbull once, spoxe beautifully of his own experience, when as a little boy on a trundle-bed. after he had retired for the night, ne would turn in the direction of tne larger bed in which father lay and say: rattier, ,are you there? When the answer came back. "Yes, my son." he went to sleep without a thought of harm. When that little boy became an old man of seventy. each night before going to sleep he looked up into the face of his Heav enly Father and 'said "Father, are you there And the answer- came back: "Yes, my son." And then, as he did In his childish faith, he fell asleep, knowing that his Father would take care of him through the night.
