The christian General

Many of us look on the Chi
nese revolution about as we
would an uprising in Haiti or
Santo Domingo. However, it
is greatly different. Thousands
and thousands of soldiers have
been killed, the railroad plat
forms have been strewn with
dead and dying; bombing
planes, gas and rapid-hre guns
have again been in action.
The outstanding figure for
weeks in this Chinese internal
war has been the Christian
General" of whom most of us
know but little. From a con-
temporary we take this sketch
of Feng Yu Hsiang:
~ General Feng, who recently
captured Picking and forced the
= warning factions in China to de-
clare a truce, two years ago was
named military governor of Sben-
81, populated with what is refer
red to as the finest race in China.
Back in 1912 General Feng
was major in Peking. Then
-, he attended evangelical services
held by DR.. John H. Mott of the
international Y. M. C. A. He was
converted, Immediately entered a
class for Bible study, and subse-
quently united with the Method
list Episcopal church.
zzzlt is told of the general that
once, capturing a brigade of reb-
els and having them at his mer-
8cy. he assembled the beaten sol
{ dlers in his camp, ready them
lecture on patriotism, ordered
that $40 be given each officer
. and SIS to each soldier, and sent
them home. The insurgents
from the south were amazed and
fell to weeping, then arose and
Joyfully went home.
ss Methodist and other mission
Z aries in China report that Gen.
keng's success is based upon
II. strict military discipline, plus the
esteem and affection of his Off
GERS and men. His troops are bet
ter equipped, better drilled and
- better paid than any other Jivi-
- sion of the Chinese army.
.a<.g They have reputation of
y marching further and fighting
I better than any other Chinese
troops. Their barracks would do
credit to the best drilled Euro
pean army, and their accoutre-
= ment is first class.
General Feng has made nmch
sol athletics as suDpiemeu5ing the
army bill, and many If his off
GERS wear ornamental buckles
they have won as prizes in ath-
: letic contests.
General F'eng was formerly
governor Of Human, in the basin
Of the Yangtsekian%, where re
ruled successfully ogcg 100000
!. people.
re There he ordered his soldiers
always to be helpful to the civil
ians and his men were welcomed
to the villages and homes.
= In the army he restricted
Smoking, drinking, gambling and
~ profane language.
In the communities where he
3 had authority he prohibited
opium smoking and other social
vices.

hina for the past few days blli

BUSINESS
1t develops that the business de.
preston has not been as bad as it
seemed at the time. 1t was common
talk, some months back, that Ike
auto industry was supposedly "alI
shot to pieces" But i'll the first
! nine months this year factories
turned out 734 autos for every OIL
! in the corresponding mouths of last
year and 662 the year before. In
making comparisons, keep in mind
that 1928 output was abnormally
and unhealthy big.

PRIZE

You cannot know our relation to
the past or the extent of our genera
TONS accomplishments withouC a
knowledge of economic history.
Schools give only a smattering, their
histories being too bus7 with the
record of wars and politics.

$4,000 prize for a raiI"oad engine
capable Of hauling Is tons Is miles

ATLANTA DEMOLAYS
WIN FIRST CONTEST
WITH LOCAL LODGE
Raymond Rice

When DeMolay meets DeMolay ev-
evryone present is assured of big
time. The basketball game between
the local chapter and the Atlanta
chapter of this organization Wednes-
day proved no exception. After the
debris had been cleared away the At
lanta boys were carrying the large end
of the bacon back home with them.
The final score being Is to IA in ia
vor of the visitors.
The game was fast and furious
just about as furious as it was fast.
The largest crowd of the season was
out to see the game and it can be
said with perfect safety that no one
went away regretting the time they
had spent in the auditorium.
The poor team work of the locals
paved the way for their defeat. Only
once did they show any signs of the
remarkable team work that they have
displayed in previous games. During
this short spell they rang up six
point lead over the visitors but could
not hold it. Do not get the idea that
we are trying to discredit the victory
of the Atlanta team. They played
a fine game and certainly played the
best brand of ball. Therefore de-
served to win.
Benson was high scorer for the To-
Gals, getting three field goals and one
foul for total of seven points. He
played fine floor game also. Cap
tain Read was next in points with a
total of four. Dobbs and Crowder,
who usually play stella game could
not seem to locate the basket.
Brewer, the lanky center for the
visitors shot six field goals for total
of twelve points. He was undoubted-
ly the star of the evening. Hi. pass
ing and floor work ranked with the
best seen on the local court. Dow
man also did good work for his team
until he was forced to retire on ac-
count of injuries.

RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions of Committee Appointed
By First Baptist Church, Mari.
eta, Ga, Relative to Resigna-
ton of DIR. /. A. White

Whereas, we realize that in losing
DR.. White That we are losing from
our community man exemplifying
the highest type of Christian char
acter and the highest type of citizen
ship. He was a man loved by all our
citizens-not only those of his own
church, but by other denominations
and by those not connected with any
church.
We realize that DR.. White and
Mrs. White have been a wonderful
power not only in religious affairs,
but in civic affairs. DR.. White has
been an outstanding man in influence
ing our citizens to get together and
pull together for civic Improvement
and other matters that have tended
to elevate our citizenship.
Therefore, be it Resolved: That
though we cannot in words express
our full esteem of this noble man of
God, we can say that his leaving
creates a profound regret in the
hearts of his many friends, the COM
munity at large and the church he
had pastored for several years.
| Be it Further Resolved: That we
commend him to the people among
whom he will reside and work in the
future and we trust that his minis
try may be as great blessing to
them as it has been to US.
There is nothing we can say that
will more illumine his prestige or
character than his daily life and con-
tact with his fellowmen.
His ministry here has been highly
successful, his Christian service has
borne good fruits, his life has been
shining example to those who walk
in the ways of our Lord.
To those in his new field we would
say, take him as an example and
capable leader in all uplifting and
righteous efforts in the community.
Respectfully, your committee,

DECATUR HIGH AD-
MINISTERS DOUBLE
DEFEAT TO LOCALS
Girls Quintet Lose by Score of
% to ia. Boys Covered Up
By SO to s Score
Raymond Rice

Sack-cloth and ashes were the pre-
vailing styles in the camp of the fol-
lowers of the basketball teams rep
resenting the local high school for
the past week. AS result of the
double defeat received at the hands
of the merciless Decatur High school
students last Friday night in the fair
suburb of Atlanta, made famous by
the presence of Agnes Scott college.
Despite the fact that the figures are
against them and Figures don't lie"
much, the local basketeers haven't
so much to be ashamed of. They put
up game fight and displayed the
"never say die" spirit during both
games. After all it is this spirit and
not the final score that makes the
man or woman.
If coaches only taught their teams
to win regardless of the cost or the
methods used the sport would not
have such hold on the people as it
has. Play the game hard but square
and may the best team win, has al
ways been the policy of the local
High School authorities.
But back to the game. In the girls
game Decatur won by % to Ia count.
Captain Benson was the star of her
team, but despite this she did not
play up to her standard. Maybe this
was one reason the game ended like
it did-maybe not.
The boys team lost by the over
whelming score of 38 to 8. Never
once did they threaten the Decatur
lads. No matter how hard the locals
fought they could not locate the bas-
ket, while the Decatur boys seemed
to drop them through at will. The
entire Decatur team played good ball
FOR Marietta Captain Bob Read was
the outstanding light. The Atlanta
scribes paved this boy high compli-
ment IN their write-ups of the game.
The rest of the local team seemed
TO be stale. They just couldn't pet
the old-time team work started and
there lies the tale.

But that party is not yet formed. II
will be noted that the c. Il. z. ma

Here would seem to be fertile
ground for our class farmer-labor

form of organization Is loose and the
