Rev. Weaver Says Man is Re-
sponsible for Present Con-
ditions and Must Work
His Way Out.

Mr.. Editor:
thank you for space in your pa
per to come before the public again
to speak of the perilous times.
Someone asked me, "When do you
think times will be better?" My reply
was as soon as the nations get right
with God. Man brought all Of this
trouble upon himself, and if it is
moved man must move it by doing
| the will of God. Man has become
frightened at his own trick and he
need not look for God to move it. God
will not do for man what man can
do for himself.
This awful time has been a test to
the world. 1t has caused men to know
their friends better. 1t has brought
men to know men. If you have the
dollar you have friends. Don't be un-
easy. Every dark cloud has silver
lining.
God is sending this calamity as
warning to the world. You can't make
times better by standing around
whining and complaining and leaving
the farms. God means for man to till
the earth for living. If you disobey
that command both rich and poor will
starve. All factories will close and
men will come out of the coal mines
and every place of business on earth
will stop. The banks will be closed so
tight you couldn't get in if you would
try. So work and pray.
l must pause here to speak of one
of the ablest divines that has been in
Edgefeld, to my knowledge, in the
person of DR.. Lee, the white Baptist
pastor. hear that he is going to
leave Edgefeld. He will leave host
of friends among both races. He's not
narrow hearted with his gospel, nor
with his pocket book. He believes in
helping whenever help is needed, rich
or poor. He is so kind if l had
chance I would cast my vote for him
to stay here. May God bless him and
his family in their new field of labor,
and may he live long to do much for
the uplift of fallen humanity.
DIR. Lee preached one of the ablest
sermons 1 ever heard at Macedonia
my church-last Sunday afternoon,
March goth. So we wish for him great
success.
Yours for the cause,
F. A. WEAVER.

Terminus Hotel,
Naples, Italy,
February z, 1921.

My dearest Mother:
We left Rome sooner than first
planned because of the poor accomo-
dations lowing to the crowded con-
ditions I wrote you about) and the
rainy weather, which seriously inter-
fered with out sightseeing.
1t is a most interesting city and well
worth spending months here. In fact
I should like nothing better than to
pay another visit to Europe and spend
the entire time here, but just now the
hotel accommodations are so made
quate for the mob of visitors, that
we thought we had better move on.
You never could see such cos
mopolitan crowd anywhere else.
There are whole families of Ameri-
cans with their children either at
school or with a nursery governess.
Furthermore these same Americans
seem to have acquired all the manner
isms of the Latin race, for they ape
them to degree that is disgusting to
me.
/. The Latin race. thinks and feels
differently about every point of life
from what we do. They are, of course,
all Catholics, and believe are just
as loyal to their church as we are,
but their method of observing the
Sabbath day is not ours. 1t is the fete
day of all the week, and last night
being Sunday night, they danced all
night long. Granted that this is their
idea of Sunday observance, why they
have as much right to their opinions
as I have. But to see Americans ape
and copy them makes me sick. Oul
fellow country-women seem deter
mined to go them one better. They
whose dainty fingers had never &C
complished one days time of honest
weekday service, would bring ou
their knitting or embroidery on Sun
day "because it looked so swell anc
versed in the ways of the Continent.
They will come here and put up will
all sort of unsanitary arrangement!
that they would scorn at home, ant
excuse it in the same breath "becaus'
the Italians are so light hearted ant
polite"
The trip here from Rome was tn
usual hard uncomfortable journey il
close little cars, with cigarettes puff
ed in your face every minute, with NJ
/ heat and travelling at the speed of al
American snail. The cars are filth,
, and though we always travel first

what third class must be.

ace of the Caesars and did all that
could be expected of two pilgrims
who know nothing of archaeology
and not too much of history. We were
more interested in the Colosseum than
anything else, and had a guide to help
US. He showed us where the wild
beasts came in, and the positions oc-
cupied by the Emperor, the Vestal
Virgins and the martyred Christians,
etc. 1t brought back the sufferings of
the early Christians very vividly, and
made me wonder if the present gen.
Grafton would be half so faithful.
This is great city and people
from all over the world come here to
study the old Roman Empire. As some
else has said "the story of the whole
world circles around this grand cen
ter" Everywhere we looked while
standing an the Palatine Hill, groups
of people, could be seen with guide
books, studying it out. There is some-
thing very fascinating about Rome
anyway. I have heard it said that it
meant more than any other city in
Europe, but between you and me, /
believe the two principal reasons for
its popularity is first, living is cheap
here, and second, people just natur-
ally like this lazy life. It's a case of
starting out late in the morning and
then living easy all day. We work
harder than anybody here and that's
because we are hurrying to crowd in
as much as possible in as short time
as possible. The people here never
live as extravagantly as at home, and
really we are great wasters. Beggars
infest every street and they are the
whiniest, most disagreeable beggars
you ever saw. They will follow you
a block half crying and telling some
tale of woe which of course we never
understand. The streets are teaming
with flower sellers and they stick
a bunch of flowers at your face and
follow you around trying to make you
buy whether you want them or not.
The people as a race seem to be dead
to that finer feeling about that sort
of thing, and absolutely wanting in
pride. 1t is marvel to me that there
seems no drop of blood of the ancient |
Roman in the degenerate race living
at the present day.
The hotels are beautifully furnish
ed but seldom have any baths or mod
ern equipment such as the plainest
little hotels at home can boast of. We
are many years ahead of this crowd,
we have no history and no
to boast of, and they are
welcome to these old ruins as long as
they go along with poor sanitation
and no bath tubs.
Devotedly,
GRACE.
