u. S. in Conflicts of Other
Nations.

The administrations reciprocal
trade program threatens to involve
the United States in conflicts Of other
nations, Representative Martin Of
Massachusetts,, chairman Of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee,
told the House yesterday.
The trade treaties, he said, "have
political implications and connections
taking them far beyond the intent Of
the Reciprocal Trade Act Of 1884"
The administrator foreign eco
nomic policy lis internationalistic
while its domestic policy is national
istic" and the two are in such conflict
that 'one or the other policy must
fail while the United States is being
seriously endangered" Representa-
tive Martin said.
He accused the State Department of
directing propaganda campaign"
for the trade policy" under threat of
complete reorganization Of capital,
agriculture, industry, labor and the
people"
World Conditions Cited.
Mr.. Martin presented number Of
statistical studies to show conditions
throughout the world are such that

New Building Replaces
Historic Structure Con-
secrated in 1859
LINES OF EARLIER
CHURCH PRESERVED
By SADIE S. PATTON

On Sunday, July II, 1888, ser
vices will be held for the first
time in the new building just
completed at Calvary Episcopal
church, at Fletcher, one of the
best known historical places in
Henderson county or Western
North Carolina.
In designing and building the
new edificc, great care has been
exercised in preserving and re-
producing as nearly as possible
the features Of distinction that
characterized the famous old
structure which was destroyed by
fire on December %, 1885.
The parish of Calvary was or
ganizcd more than eighty years
ago by wealthy and cultured
Southern gentlemen, rice plant
crs and merchants of the Low
Country. It's history and the as
ISOLATION Of its members with the
picturesque life Of the early sum-
mcr visitors to this section have
lent fair share of color and
charm to attract visitors from all
over the world.
Mr.. Daniel Blake, who was a
leading spirit and one Of the chief
benefactors of its early years,
had been one of the quartet who
first came across the crest of the
Blue Ridge, from South Carolina,
and finding a climate and location
to their liking, had built summer
homes here-a vanguard Of the
ever increasing numbers which
were to make of Western North
Carolina a vacationland for the
nation.
Although his estate lay further
away, in the valley of Hoopers
Creek, Mr.. Blake had maintained
close relationship with his friends
who lived southwark at Flat
Rock. When st. John in the Will
derness, the first Episcopal church
in the Western part of the State,
was organized there, he and mem.
bers of his family were among
the charter members of its con-
gregation. This church, from the
time it was conSecrated in 1886,
had provided services during the
summer months for adherents OF
it's faith, who at that time were
found almost exclusively among
the Low Country people.
When a decade had elapsed at
ter the parish at Flat Rock was
organized, many of its members
found themselves living in fast
growing communities where there
were increasing numbers of
churches of various denomina-
tions, while their own, situated
several miles away, was closed
for the greater portion of each
year.
The Buncombe Turnpike from
South Carolina, by way of Flat
Rock, passed through the vicinity
where Calvary church is now To-
Gated, and those who attended the
limited number Of services at St.
John in the Wilderness must
travel there by coach or carriage,
over a not inconsiderable stretch
of rough roads.

Mr.. and Mrs. Blake gathered with
