HUMAN ORCHIDS SCORED
By BISHOP GAMBLER
1nternationalism Declared Poor
Substitutes for Patriotism
at M. E. Dinner.
Special Dispa tch to The star.


BALTIMORE, February 3.-Adyo-
Gates of internationalism as suhsti-
tute for patriotism were condemned
as human orchids" by Bishop War
rem a. Gambler of Atlanta. Ga, at the
annual dinner of the Southern Metho-
dist Union of Baltimore this week.
You should be- p.piIG Of being
Methodists." Bishop Gambler said, "for
though Methodism is not $50 years
Old, 1t has changed the face Of the
earth. Methodism and Anglo-Saxon
civilization have risen together In
the world as il they were born twins
our faith has given the evangelical
type of Christianity to the English
speaking nations. The Mediterranean
is an English lake, as the Gulf of
Mexio is an American one. These ma
tions, striking hands together, in
1uence the world as no other nations
have done.
There has been no religious revival
on the continent of Europe since
Luther's day. and Europe had TO look
10 the evangelical nations OF England
and America for deliverance in the
world crisis.
Il am not sectional nor scctarian.
but am not a human orchid, taking
root in the air. ! touch the ground.
ana that ground is American soil. We
near SO many preaching interna-
tionaiism. Well, let's love the whole
MorIu, even II IL Is big job at times.
But let's love our own country best.
Il don't like this international free
love. Nations don't grow great that
way. 1t is my belief that Methodis.s
nave held to the vital thinGs Of life
In their faith and that they have help
ed America to hold fast TO them. Eu-
rope can't save the world. It cannot
save itself. The salvation of the worid
rests with us, and our Methodist men
can go throughout the world whcra-
ever they are sent. They do not wal,
for call"

that sho must go look for them But

There was no sounds save the hiss
ing Of the snow through the vines
and bushes about her. Without any
warning at all some one entered that
bramble tangle. A second later some
one lese entered. They had made no
sound, and their sudden appearance
frightened little Mrs. Peter. At first
she didn't recognize them. for both
were white. Then her heart leaped
with Joy. They were Old Jed
Thumper and Peter. their coats white
with snow.
OF course. they had to tell little
Mrs. Peter all about their adventures.
saved them from Shadow the weasel.
The storm increased. The three Rab-
bits squatted close together in the
brambIe tangle. And the snow
whitened their coats until they
looked like three little white mounds
and not like animals at all.
AS soon as Shadow the Weasel
found that the snow had covered the
trail Of Old Jed Thumper ind Peter
ne knew that It was useless to hunt
for them longer. He snarled at the
snow. Then he stopped for a mo-
would go. That snow was coming
faster and faster He decided that
he would 60 back to the Green Forest.
He had feeling that this snow
storm was going to be a long one,
and his home was in the Green
Forest He wanted to be there.
Now. 1T just happened that the
shortest way to the Green Forest led
past the very bramble tangle where
Old Jed Thumper had left little Mrs.
Peter Rabbit. BY the time he got
there the snow was driving thick and
fast. 1t almost blinded him. He had
no thought now of anything but get
ting back to the Green Forest and
the snug shelters there that he knew
so well. So he hurried along the
old cowpath right past the bramble
tangle. In IL We're three little mounds
Of white. He didn't notice them. If
he had he probably would not have
given them a thought. Yet those
three mounds OF white were three
Rabbits.
Shadow didn't see them, or sus-
pect that he was anywhere near them
Neither did they see him, for the
snow was falling so thick and fast
that they kept their eyes closed. SO
it was that they never knew how the
one they dreaded most passed close
to them. Nor did Shadow ever know
how near he had been to a Rabbit
dinner. And IT was all because of
the blessed little snowfiakes.

MEMORIAL TO COLORED
"MAMMIES" is OPPOSED

The resolution recently introduced
In the Senate giving authority to the
United Daughters OF the confederacv
to erect a monument In Washington
to the colored "mammies" of the
south was opposed by the Northeast
Boundary Citizens Association at its
meeting last night at the BurrviIle
School. The proposal. the resolution
said, was propaganda to divert atten-
tion. from the wrongs done the col
ored women during the civil war and
the reconstruction period that fol-
lowed. Copies of the associations s
opinion on the statue were ordered
mailed to members of Congress and
to the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The association. however. let 1t be
known that II such q monument be
erected, it should be placed on a site
nearer to the original homes of the
"mammies."
The association will ask the Com
missioners for improvements to the
streets approaching the Burryille
School. President z. d. Ramseur pre-
sided.

RANKS LAW PROFESSION
NEXT TO THE MINISTRY
d. c. Supreme Court Justice De-
clares Students See Both
Sides Of Questions.

The profession Of the law was
ranked next to the ministry of God
by Chief Justice Smythe of the Dis
trict Supreme Court in an address at
the semi-annual smoker Of the fresh
man class of Columbus University
held recently in Blossom Inn. Speeches
also were made by Prof. Leo A. Rover
and Prof. James 3. Flynn.
AN understanding of the laws of
the state or the nation" said Chief
Justice Smythe. enables one to ana
lyze all the leading questions OF the
day rather than follow the leadership
Of others, and helps one to decide for
himself the vital issues of the day.
In this manner the law student is en-
abled to understand not only one side
of any issue, but to analyZe and ap-
preciate the old saying there are two
sides TO every story Things and acts
which many people condemn. as So
vietism and bolshevism, when ,looked
at on both sides convince the think
ing man that they are not only SOUND.
but also are fundamental principles OF
which the law of justice and morals
might we'll take heed"
A program of entertainment was
furnished by William J. Carroll. j. II:
Cauwell and an orchestra. composed
of members of the freshman class.
Plans are being made to hold another
class social in the near future.
