America, along with almost all the
rest of the world. is celebrating
Armistice Day today.
Just two years ago the Hun sur

No date on mankind's calendar

since the. last fighter died on the

the eleventh month Of 1918, have so
brimmed over with turbulence that
it is difficult to realize that the

1t may look like many Americans
died for nothing. 1t may seem that
the glory of righteous victory has
faded.
But the truth can't be lodged
BeStial ambition was beaten. Decency
won. The world is better off.
In the tempestuous interlude that
divides the patriotic sacrifice of

we observe today, marks the
high-light of the present century
in American affairs. Victories
such as Armistice Day commemo-
rates are not the issues solely of
clashes of flesh and steel. They
have a finer quality than that.
They are the triumphs, as we'll,
of an unconQuerable spirit.
No victory, however complete,
long can survive the spirit that
conceived it. The annals of man
kiAd are replete with example,;
splendid triumphs in behalf of
splendid causes that have, gone
for naught because the spirit that
made them ceased to endure.
This is only the second ami
versary of Armistice Day-a day
destined, if we will, to keep COM
pany with the immortals of the
calendar which mark great mo-
ments of history that shall never
die. Succeeding generations will
acclaim Armistice Day. God
grant they always shall acclaim it
in the spirit that made it, and
that this spirit, like the day, shall
be imperishable.
With this prayer in our hearts
let us renew each year our vows
of fealty, repledge and keep un-
shakable our faith in the high
ideals, the lofty purposes, the un-
selfish aspirations and exalted, h

And the tangled skein

That we, who have been

Session Opens

The opening of the conference was
characterized by much of the religious
fervor of an old-time Methodist love
feast Men taking part came from
the most prosperous. of city churches
and from circuits where the income
of the preachers is barely sufficient
to provide them with necessities.
/ There were young men js5t out of
college. There were deaf, old men
and feeble superannuatss who looked
toward reward after death with boy
ish enthusiasm and who seemed al
most glorified when they spoke brief
ly as theil names were called.
Bishop Gambler conducted the de-
votional, exhorting the preachers not
to be conformed to this world but
transformed by the renewal of their
lives. He warned them not to yield
to the shifting worldly spirit" and
not to resort to so-called modern
methods to 'hold" people.
Put away everything that sug-
gests we are of TIE world" he said.
"Show that we are men of an abid-
ing, changeless world.

Bishop Gambler Opens. Con-
ference With Strong APP

character Investigation

With lay and ministerial delegates
present from practically every Meth
odist church in north Georgia the
annual session of the north Georgia
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, south, opened in Wes-
ley Memorial church Wednesday
morning with Bishop Warren A. Can
dler presiding. The conference will
continue in SESSION through Monday.
The opening. session was devoted
largely to devotional exercises, the
selection of conference officers and
committees, and reports of presiding
elders and superannuates. Towards
the close of the morning session DR..
B. F. Fraser, pastor of Wesley Me-
mortal church, and one of the best
known members of the conference,
arose to a point of personal privilege
and asked that his character be re-
ferred to a committee for investiga-
ton.
ct arise to a point of personal
privilege" said DR.. Fraser. II had a
local minister come in from Texas
to be superintendent of our Sunday
school. He did not seem to enter. into
the work very satisfactorily, and he
told the presiding elder and various
church members that either he or
must move. He seemed to think that
| he had a contract with me. to stay
here more than one year, and when
the quarterly conference elected an
| other superintendent in his place he
wanted me tried for lying. I want
to ask that the conference refer this
matter to a committee so that his
charges may be gone into fully. l
ask this because I welcome an in
vestigation."
The superintendent to whom DR..
Fraser referred was J. D. Swagger-
ty. Dr. Fraser, said that Mr.. Swag-
gerty's work had been entirely I'M
satisfactory, and that when a change
was made for the good of the church,
false rumors were circulated to the
effect that the church was 'violat-
ing the contract, and that he natur-
ally wanted an investigation, which,
he said, would. result in his complete
vindication.
The committee appointed by Bishop
Gambler to investigate the Fraser
matter, consists Of Rev. s. P. Wig
gins, Rev. M. L. Underwood and Rev.
w. T. Handy.
designations as members of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate board
of trustees were submitted by Judge
H. E. w. Palmer and by Governor
Joseph A. McCord, of the federal
reserve bank. Their successors will
be elected Friday morning.

the conference. took : occasion to
praise the work of DR.. R. F. Fakes,

vocate.

TAFT STILL FOR LEAGUE

When President Wilson brought to
this country the league covenant as re-
ported to the Paris conference, former
President Taft urged, on the same
platform with him, that the United
States join the league. He thereafter
recommended amendments, some of
which were adopted into its final
form.
"Had / been in the Senate, says
Mr.. Taft, II would have voted for the
league and treaty as submitted; and
advocated its ratification according
". u did not think and do not now
think that anything in the league COW
enant as sent to the Senate would
violate the Constitution OF the United
States or would involve us in wars
which it would not be to the highest
interest of the world and this country
to suppress by universal boycott and,
if need be, by military force.
81 consider that the moral effect of
Article x on predatory nations would
restrain them from war as the declar-
alton of the Monroe Doctrine has
done, and that the requirement of the
unanimous consent by the representa-
tives of the great powers in council
before league action would safeguard
the United States from any perver-
sion of the high purpose Of the
league. Moreover, I believe that the
issue of the league transcehds in its
Importance any domestic issue and
would justify and require one who be
leves SO to ignore party ties and ses
cure this great Nboon for the world
and this country"

MORE G. O. P. PROMISES

Representative Slemp of Virginia,
one of Senator Harding's campaign
ieutenants, promises that if the Re
publicans are successful in November
they will reduce the living cost by re-
yising the excess profits tax, by re
pealing the transportation tax, by in
creasing the tariff, schedule and by
modifying the income tax laws.
The Republicans have controlled
both houses Of Congress since May,
1919. Why have they not already done
these things? Certainly, it wasn't for
fear of a presidential veto, because
the President more than once asked
Congress to do at least some of them.
