man may sit on the waters edge
Dfe and look to a past Of remarkable
<terest. or to future Of measurable
Dvelopment
Let US star al the beginning.
In 1892 Columbus discovered the
Nv world A few years afterward'
nrtin Luther laid the foundations Of
% settlement of the great nation
nj was to spring up and become
der among the people of the earth,
= Luther promulgated the idea OF
IoligiOus freedom, which was the ban
3er that led the reformation, re-
.Drmation that established the second
Deriod of importance In the develop
lent OF the Christian religion.
The United States was settled by
EN- who sought freedom from relig-
ms persecution. and in finding it,
Dund the outlet for the development
Y human intellect and human en-
rgy.
" Luther biazed the road which was
ollowed by the Calvinist, the HUI
aenot, the Puritan, by all Of those
no fled from persecution. and wher-
yer we turn in America, except in
he Spanish territory, we find the
hme signs Of emancipation.
4 In 1884 Philip Amidas and Arthur
harlow arrived outside the sounds
bat reach from Jacksonville to north
e Currituck, and they sailed hun
red and twenty six miles before they
lhnded on an opening that would
'1dmit them to the land inside the ISL
onds.
In that same year things were do
4nx in Europe. BY the death Of Henry
'of Antou, Henry Of Navarro became
heir to the throne Of France. which
aroused the Duke Of Guise, and
Henries. 1t raised Navarro to the
throne and brought the edict OF
Nantes, but ST Bartholomew with its
80, 900 dead Huguenots, was too re-
cent and the brief reign Of Henry
~, did not deceive anybody. The
spirit Of hostility was red in the air
and it had but one end. The Hugue
Nots, the industry and the intelli
sence of France, migrated to England
Scotland, Ireland, and in time to thu
American colonies.
France never entirely recovered th'
loss Of these sterling people. He
Industries were established by tn,
banished artisans in other countries
and they are largely responsible TO
making of England and Germany a.
well as the United States, the work
shop Of the world. They carried t.
England the Huguenot trades o
weaving. glass making, paper, pot
terry dyeing and other important in
dustries that have come from ing
land to the United States.
HuguenOts Found Beaufort.
uuguenots came two hundred yeaX
ago to the shores OF North Carolina
and founded the town of Beaufort
naming it for Beaufor. in the Frenc
department Of Maine-et- Loire, wher
was the ancient castle home of tn
sons of John Of Gaunt. Henry vi
Of England, was the son of Margare
Beaufort, and through Marearets de
scent from the English royalty. Hen
ry brought the house of Tudor t
the English throne.
SO the Huguenot will be seen I
have ample finger in the history Q
the past in the world whence he cam
as he has had in the land OF his Sc
lection this side Of the water.
