JEFFERSON TELLS
OF NEWEST EPOCH
TO FOLLOW WORLD WAR
Hendrix Speaker Delivers Profound
Analysis of Conditions Dethron-
ing Old Order.

DR.. Charles Edward jefferson OF
New York, the famous pastor of the
Broadway Tabernacle, continued h 5
mastery discussions of fundamental
problems of the present day with two
addresses at Hendrix College today
Tonight he will speak at the First
Method st church in continuation of
his theme last night, which was The
Old Order and the New" His final
addresses will be delivered at the col
lege Thursday morning at 1920
o'clock and afternoon at $50 o'clock
before the school is adjourned The
meet ngs at the college, as well as
those at the church, are open to the
public, and Rev. C. NJ Reeves, pastor
of the church here, and DR.. John
Hugh Reynolds, chairman of the
school, expressed the hope that as
large part of the public as possible
would take advantage of the excep-
tional opportunity to hear in Their
own town one of the recogn zed
thinkers and scholars of the day.
DR.. Jefferson's theme last night was
a profound and comprehensive hand
ling of present day problems, with
especial reference to those growing
out Of the word war. His introduce
tory statements were a vivid picture
of the world as it was in 1914, when
the foundations of civ lization were
shattered and ruined by the outbreak
Of the war. He pictured the world
as complacent and we'll satisfied with
its progress, a feeling of ease VIII en-
he declared was proved little justified
when the war showed that civilization
was fundamentally wrong From
tn S phase Of international conditions,
he shifted to a mastery and concise
analysis Of the causes underlying the
great break up Of the world and what
must be done to restore stability.
Just as certainly as the war mark
ed the passing of the old order, the
new order S coming, DR.. jefferson
declared. 1t has not arrived yet, he
said, but gradually the remnants of
the old order will yield to the new
epoch. He paid particular stress on
business as it w Il be conducted under
the new order. Cooperation and
profit for the benefit of the many will
replace competition and profit for the
privileged class, the speaker sa d.
This principle, in his belief, will d
the nations of the deadly struggle now
going on, with cap tai and labor con-
tlnually sprnging at each others
threats. Because such struggles
break the peace Of the nations and
cripples their industries, DR.. Jeffer-
son held that the present system Of
compel ton is wrong in its essence
and not productive of contentment
and satisfaction to a maximum de-
gree.
In justice to DR.. jefferson, it should
be said that his addresses yesterday
and last n ght were delivered under
trying conditions. He made the
journey straight THROUGH from New
York, reaching Conway Tuesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock. His addresses to the.
school were at 1890 a. m. 2:3O p. m.
and p. M, with a br eff talk at tho
banquet served on the campus at $50
p. m. He remarked in beginning his
first address at the college Tuesday
morning that the heat became swelter-
ing as the train reached the south,
and that he almost regretted start ng
the long journey.
