Rev. ~. 3. McEdree Explains Neces-
atty FOR Church TO Follow Lead
Of Business Names Three
Essentials.
HITS THE FAULTF1NDERs
Willingness to Work Is Important
Thing Those Who criticlse Usu-
ally Do. or Can Do, the
Least Work.

Church efficiency was the keynote
OF the sermon delivered last evening
before the union service in the audi
torium of the First Congregational
church, by Rev. II. B. McElree, pastor
OF the United Presbyterian church.
The musical numbers were effect
lively rendered by the Congregational
choir. Rev. E. B. Newcomb gave the
invocation. Rev. F. G.. BeardsIey
presided. Rev. McEree severely
criticised faultfinders.
This is the age Of efficiency, the
age when experts are employed to
eliminate wastes in factories and 9TH
er business enterprises. The day is
now at hand when the church Of
Jesus Christ should follow the ex-
ample OF the business world.
Church Faces Many Problems.
There are many problems to be
faced by the church today. There is
the task of reaching the immoral and
prOfligate. The rescue mission has
done much here, but the problem is
still unsolved. There is the problem
of reaching the outwardly moral and
upright, but who have no interest in
the work Of Jesus Christ. The third
problem is that Of sweeping away the
barrier between the church and the
workingman. The worhngman be-
lieves in Christ as the savior of men,
but he takes too little interest in the
church. These are but three of many
problems that the church must face.
"The question Of meeting these
problems resolves itself into the
problem of increasing church eff
cheney. When the efficiency of the
church Is increased, all these difficult
ties will be overcome for, IL every de-
partment OF the church were ef-
ficient they would not exist.
Essentials to Efficiency.
1.-THE first essential to increasing
church efficiency. is the presence and
power OF the holy spirit. It is inn
possible for church to do work.
when weighed down BY lethargy and
Indifference. Yet there is remedy
more complete surrender.
"The second great essential is
willingness to work. This does not
mean sitting by with folded hands.
depending on leaders or on God to
perform miracles. It does not mean
liberality with advice, without effort.
Nor does it mean faultfinding. Fault
finding is usually done by those who
have least to do or can do nothing
else.
= THE third essential will always be
possessed by church that has
Christ's spirit and mind to work.
This essential is an attitude Of trust
and confidence. One reason for lack
Of confidence is the lack of faith in
Jesus Christ. Lack of confidence is
a great handicap 1t hindered Christ
when on earth. How. much more can
1t hinder His work today"

THE ROSES ARE LEFT; THY
THORNS ARE GONE-ALMOST.J

With all the enthusiasm manifesto
in the U. D. C. convention in this, (ne
of the very hotbeds of the Coped-
eracy, and with the part Union Dis
trict played in the great drama of
necessity brought noticeably Il the
front, there is marked absetce of
any bitterness. The roses aye left,
the thorns are gone-almost.
The great work of the u. D.. C. con-
vention is not that strife and bitter
ness be stirred, nor that there should
be the shamelessness of self-glorifi-
cation. The purpose lies deeper, the
ends reach higher than that. To per-
petuate the memory of as brave men
and women as ever peopled the earth
is a worthy endeavor. To see that
the history of such people is writ
and that truthfully, is work that
must be done. In Indicating the lofty
ideals, the worthy examples of heroes
in the heart of children is more than
worthy task, it is a scored duty
that left undone would brand US as
degenerates of worthy sires.
Bitterness? Nobody is bitter; no
body is carrying about any hurt of
mind, albeit the rapidly thinning
ranks of grey show many who are
carrying an empty sleeve or who limp
from the effects of the shock of bat
ties fought fifty years ago.
Sons and Daughters of Heroes, let
us cherish the dust of our sacred
dead. The life of nation that does
not find it's roots penetrating its
graveyards is destined soon to die.
Graveyards, not cannon, make ma
tion great! The dust of past genera
tions is more to be depended on for
defense than battleships. When a
people forgets its dead then is that
people dead to all that is worth while
in the heart of man.
All of which is said by one whose
father served four years in the Con-
federate Army and whose mother
wore b homespun dress and lived for
many moons upon cowpeas and corn
bread-for that home lay in the wake
of Sherman. But there is not one
drop of bitterness in the writer's
heart. Our people, old and young
reverence Old Glory, and we teach
our children so to do. But be it re-
members that the Stars and Bars is
enshrined in the inner heart and will
there abide until the end of time
Thus armed, we can never be founG
wanting when our nation calls fol
MEN.

age Of the Women of the Confederacy,
the exalted ideals of the South are
necessary in the building of a great
America. These high qualities of un-
selfish loyalty, of self-abnegation,
must be the blood and bone in the
character of any great people. Money,
property values, great engineering
feats, startling inventions-all these
things are of great value, but they are
the mere things of life after all. The
life itself is deeper. 1t lives in the
spirit not the flesh. Such life con-
quers the flesh and exalts the spirit.
Yes, DR.. Snyder has given us new
vision of our sectional South" one
that we will treasure through the COM
ing days.

AUSTRIAN RULER EXPIRES
AFTER 68-YEAR REIGN

London, Nov. 22.-Emperor Fran
els Joseph died last night at o'clock
at Schoenbrunn Castle, according to
Reuter- dispatch from Vienna, by
way of Amsterdam.
1t is doubtful if in all history there
has been an active, authenticated
reign longer than that closed by the
death of Francis Joseph.
At 10 years of age he ascended the
throne of Austria, upon abdication of
his uncle, Ferdinand l., December 2,
1848, his death today ending an active
reign of nearly GO years, all but the
first twenty of which he was also
Apostolic King of Hungary.
Tradition says that Pharoah ruled
for 90 years and there is the more
credible instance of Rameses H.
Seostris of the Greeks, whose reign is
reputed to have covered 81 years.

houn in her address to the U. D. C..
convention Tuesday evening that the
schools adopt the Wyoming plan for
enlisting the boys of the schools in
the cause of preparedness by means
of the "cadet system" is worthy of
most serious consideration. The "Boy
Scout" idea proves that such plan
has great attraction for the boy. The
idea that true preparedness will help
to maintain peace is true doctrine,
if we are not mistaken. The address
of Mrs. Calhoun was timely, and it
was one of the most convincing pleas
we have ever heard. 1t is little Won
der that this gifted woman is being
prominently mentioned for promotion
to the presidency of the general con-
tion of the d. A. RS.

WELCOME TO THE WOMEN.

The South holds no treasure above
her women! Welcome to the U. D. c..
convention! Our sacred Past and our
tremendous Future are safe in their
hands. The earth cannot match their
grace and charm nor reveal higher
type of womanhood.
A nation cannot rise above it's wo-
men, nor sink into oblivion so long as
it's women embody high and holy
ideals. Man boasts of his achieve
ments and glorifes himself, when all
the world knows that he owes the best
that is in him, or that ever proceeds
from him, to the influence of moth
er, wife or sweetheart!
We feel much inclined to draw out
this welcome, but we realize that to
do so is to build the porch higher
than the house. Welcome to our
hearts, our homes, noble women of a
noble heritage. Welcome, and God
bless you.

The address of DR.. H. N. Snyder,
president of Wofford college, before
the u. d. C. convention Tuesday even
ing was the strongest defense for the
existence and promotion of the move
ment we have yet heard. DR.. Snyder
was at his best, and his plea was un-
answerable. He has lifted the op-
probrium which has long rested upon
the socalled "sectionalism" of the
South, and has rendered real service
in so doing. Truly, the perilous and
strange times upon which all civiliza-
tion is entering, the unrest, the inquisi-
tiveness and the questioning that are
so insistent in all the world, necessi-

On Wednesday evening, during The
session of the u. D. C. convention the
fire alarm was sounded. The audi
torium was packed and DR.. White was
in the midst Of his splendid speech.
Some little confusion was caused, but
the disturbance was but for minute.
Upon investigation it was found that
the alarm had been turned in by some
practical joker. Such an act might
at some day lead to fearful loss of
life. The scamp who does such a
thing should be sent to the chaingang
for five years. 1t will take the rock
pile to get the meanness out of as
mean a dog as that. Mayor Wharton
is making diligent search for the Of
fender. When found, he should be
made an example of. He should, and
will be, severely punished.

President Snyder, in his address be-
fore the U. d. c. convention Tuesday
evening showed that he has little sym
pathy for the statement sometimes
made that we need two parties in the
South; that it would be good thing
if we had a strong Republican party.
We heartily agree with him. "The
Solid South" is far better for the civ
ilization of the South than would be a
split among the white people of the
South. The South is yet destined to
teach the world the value of white
supremacy.
