IS IT ARMAeEppoN?

The Presbyterian, August 5. THE Book of Revelation describes battle which is to take place between the kings of the earth and of the whole world. It calls this battle .Armageddon, Hebrew name. Civ ilzation is looking now upon one of the great est, If not the greatest, conflict of the agess as it sways in the balance between returning to peace or going forth to carnage. Can this be the fulfllment of the prophecy of Revela- tion? No one can say The study of prophecy does not include prediction. God keeps the times and seasons in his own hands. He who undertakes to fix or determine them advertises bis own audacity and hardened infdelity. When the promised events come we shall know them but they shall arrive without warning Our responsibility is to be ready for them at any time
 The nations have been giving themselves to material things, to luxury, to prizefghting and all forms of coarse and frivolous pleasure They have become defiant. They have laughed. De- lection of faith has appeared in the church. Most persistent, determined and even boastful effort has been made to teach the all-suft cency of man.
 Mir. Carnegie attempts to buy peace with money, but he has not the price. Only the Prince of Peace can bring peace, and Mir. Car negie and his followers have no room for him. Mir. Carnegie would snatch education from the hand of the Church and then would change her and use her for the purpose of making wars to cease.
 The war cry of all Europe has changed all this The prize-fghts cease. The smaller con tentions give way; the lines of pleasure are suspended; travel is arrested; the stock ex- changes are closed; people tremble, and all in- terest centres in the portending war cloud
 With war already begun, 1t will mean the coming of our Lord personally to many a sol dier whom he will meet in judgment. It may mean the coming of our Lord in marked vis- -tation as he came to the Jews in Jerusalem. The unbelief of this age calls for something of this kind. It may mean the great final Second Coming of our Lord. to assert His Kingship and complete His Kingdom. But of this we can not speak concusively. But the loud call of this hour is the call to repentance. to faith. and to obedience. The call should be first heard by the Church, for there will the judg- ment begin. The Church in her faith, her serv- ices and her method has suffered large defec tion.
 The world and worldly men have weakened her, and her ambition has been her own glory rather than the praise, worship, obedience and expectation of her King. Whatever may be the outcome and course of the present war omens, let the Church profit by the grave pos. abilities, and out of them arise to more viz. orous faith. mode definite reliance upon the plan and gospel of Christ and to a more faith full. constant and consistent watching.

themselves. The war will bring the world nearer to the downfall of all monarches. The awful cost of war in life and property, the staggering burden of armaments and war debts will final ly force their lesson home. Democracy will sweep away the thrones that once were held in reverence. Peace with it's precious fruits will be sought as far better than all the glory of the blood-drenched battlefields Then we shall see our dreams come true. Justice be- tween nations as now between man and man will be sought and enforced in peaceful tri- bunals for the whole wide world.
 Our own nation occupies remarkable vantage ground in the present crisis. It is highly inn portant that should maintain our neutral ity and perform all possible ministries in the cause of humanity The steps taken by our government thus far have been wise and right. and we may be able to render the most divinely led service in helping to establish early and righteous peace.
 Let us stand, therefore, steadfast and firm in the faith and pray without ceasing that the war may end speedily, and that after the war may come the enduring peace of democracy. brotherhood and righteousness.

A Splendid Memorial Tomb To
Columbus Is Proposed
Continued from Page Seven)

nov TO Havana. Yet. in the faca
of all this skepticism, the traditional
rumor persisted year after year.
though vaguely. there being no one
interested in affirming or denying it
To that rumor. then. is due in part tho
find Of Sept 10. 1877"
Senior DeschampT explains that on
April I, 1877. repair work was begun
In the cathedral. All the work was
done under the Immediate supervision
of Canon Billini. On May IA a me-
talliC coffin was found containing hu-
man remains. the remains being vlsi-
BILE from the outside. Without OPEN
ing the coffin, Canon BiIlini ordered
worked suspended until the arrival OF
the Archbishop. then travelling in tho
interior.
In June, Carlos Nouel. a Dominican
historical authority. was permitted by
the Canon to the casket.
Senior Nouel found a plate bearing
this inscription: The Admiral LUIS
Columbus, Duke of Veragua, Marquis
of , supposedly Jamaica-) on
Sept. l the Archbishop invited the
civil and military authorities and tho
Consular Corps to be present at the
opening Of the casket OF Luis Column
bus.
On this occasion it was deCided that
advantage should be taken Of the ep-
pOrtunity to expler the cathedral
further, attention being called to the
ancient rumor that the bones of
Christopher Columbus were still in
the cathedral. Accordingly, on Sept.
8. under supervision of Canon Riliini.
further excavations were undertaken
Two days later. the work
disclosed the end Of a box. Canon Bill
1ini again suspended operation. while
the Archbishop, Minister OF the In
terror, and Italian Consul Genera
were summoned. On their arrival the
hole was enlarged and the box came
plainly to view. Its top was covered
with the dust of centuries, but the
words. First Admiral" abbreviated.
forming part OF an inscription, could
be read.
The examination was again SuS-
pended, while the Cabinet Ministers.
Municipal Council. Consular Corps.
and other officials were summoned.
In the presence of these officials, on
the afternoon OF that day, AS Senior
DesChampS explains, the box, which
proved to be a leaden ~caSlet, Was
taken from its long resting place and
opened. The remains were inside.
while inscriptions, both on the outside
and inside of the cover, proved to the
satisfaction Of those present, that
these were the bones Of Columbus.
On the outside OF the cover. in alb
b~reviatiOn, were the words. 'DiScoV-
erer of America-The First Admiral. !"
On the inside Of the cover, in abbre-
Walton, except the name, were the
word Industrious and Noble Person
g Don Christopher Columbus
Among h remains was q silver plate
bearing the words christopher Co
lumbus." On the sides OF the casle1
were the initials &C. G. A." supposed
to stand for christopher Columbus

Greenville. July 11.-Greenville ap-
parently forgot the glorious fourth,
but some Others did not. A crowd
of Bethel young people had a great
big time at ~Sheppard's mill in Caro-
lima Under the auspices Of Miss Car
RE Manning, Of Bethel, who pilOted
the party of yong folks there. a most
enjoyable day was spent. OF course
there was eating, and the best OF
eatables were there, prepared special
ly for the occasion. and there was
rowing in the pond, and bathing in its
crystal waters, and angling in its fish
laden depths, and SO many diversions
of enjoyment that al not be named.
1t was a fine spot for such an event
and all felt so we'll paid that another
such event may not be SO far in the
future. 1t WAS one Of the good old
time fourthS, in a new way and
worthy to be repeated by others.
The Christian Sunday School had a
picnic at Yankee Hall, twelve miles
down the Tar, Tuesday. There was
a large crowd and it was generally
voted the best picnic hat the school
has had. 1t was a fine trip down the
Tar on the Agnes T. a new, hand
some and speedy. boat, with Captain
J. D. Fleming at the helm. After
| spending much time there and eating
more than enough the party left for
home but had to stop on the way
and again pay its respects to the
bounty left OF the great dinner. Yam
kee Hall was a famous place in ante
bellum days, a place of beauty and
grandeur. But the stately colonial
mansion has long beer in ashes. and
the view from the river is a mass OF
young trees. but the old oaks still
stand in their majesty and strength,
and under their shade was spread the
dinner Fit for a king" All were
practically unanimous in voting foI
Yankee Han for next year.

ular Exposition OF Her
Wares

High Point. July 1.-The third
semi-annual Southern Furniture x
position opens next Monday, the 18th,
and continues through the 25th. Ia
terested manufacturers in High Point
say there is no surersor better way
of giving impetus to trade. especially
in the furniture manufacturing bust
ness. than the holding Of expositions.
A mans wares will not sell unless
shown. These eXpositionS in High
Point ave been q success from the
beginning when on June &c, 1913, the
first ~semi-annual show OF the S nth
ern Furniture exposition opened its
merchants from all sections of the
country. Following this successful
event came the January, 1914, show,
which was a greater event than the
first, and the present midsummer eff
hibition promises even more success
full things still.
From correspondence received in
dications are that more buyers are
coming than have visited any pre-
viOus show, and it is known positively
that these buyers are coming solely
because of the superior facilities here
which allow reasonable profits 10 the
retailer. One who has the good for
tune to be shown over the exhibits by
such genial managers of show rooms
as M. y. freeman, d. l.. conner, u. u.
Lambert, or +. H. Ford, will find the
most exhaustive and artistically ar
ranged exhibits OF a great variety Of
models and finish from plain to luxu-
riOus. from cheap to costly. sufficient
to supply all demands of any furni-
ture store. Material varies all the
way from poplar kitchen furniture
through quartered and plain oak
solid maple, to genuine m. .hogany in
French, Italian and English period
styles. This is not surprising, how
ever, considering the five or six million
dollars Of capital invested in the furni
ture manufacturing business wherein
two or three thousand men are hus
Ting from morning to night from Jan
uary to January.
Golf Sticks Also Made.
Attention has been called to the fac
that furniture is now not the onl.
wood product manufactured in High

AID WANTED FOR
HISTORIC ROAD
Federal Funds May Help Build
Wilmington-Fa fayetteville
Highway

Washington, d. C. July 11.-When-
ever appropriations under the Shack
eiford road bill become available an
effort will be made to secure Federal
aid toward constructing a model high
way between Wilmington and Fay
etteville. No funds are available at
present for any IA project in h
State now that North Carolina has re-
ceived $4,000 of the experimental
fund recently created.
The Fayetteville Wilmington pro
jest was brought to the attention OF
Representative Godwin this week by
a letter to him from .. Bayard Clark.
of Elizabethtown. MIR. Goodwin wilt
use his influence to get whatever aid
he can from the government when
the time comes for distribution Oh
funds. Mr.. Clark's letter describing
surround the road is as follows:
Il am anxious to know if there is
any possibility of getting a portion of
the appropriation recently made by
the government to aid in building
roads for a highway from Fayetteville
to Wilmington, passing through Eliza
BEETHOVEN.
This is the old stage road known,
/ think, as the King George road. As
you know it passes right by the Tory
Hole where the historic battle Of
EliZabethtown was fought, and also
right close to palace Wnere
the first governors mansion was stu
ated. as we'll as many other historic
| points, which is not necessary for me
to mention now. / am sure the PEG
pie at Fayetteville and Wilmington
would take a. active interest in a
movement OF this kind as we'll as al
the people along the fine. Some OF
the roa has already been improved
and some of it is now being improved
Il nave not had time to keep close
enough in touch with this movement
to know what the provisions of the
act are, but il you will investigate
the matter / will very much appreci
ate the same. and if there is an,
chance for such a thing to be dom
/ am sure we will have no trouble il
raising our part of the money"
