DANIELS HEARD
BY METH0DISTS

LAKE JUNALUKA, June Is -
R-Josephus Daniels of Raleigh
editor and statesman, said here to-
day in a speech opening the an
nual Methodist GUNNER assembly
that Christians must either face
war in every generation or mill
family fight for universal and
effective league of peace as the
.,nly substitute for war;"
Nothing happens in God
world" he said. "All forward
looking people who are followers
CT the Prince of Peace must throw
the full weight of their influence
for organized outlawry of war and
ereignty out of cold storage to
be ready to take enough Of SOW
bring about the long-cherished
dream of a warless world"
In accordance with long GUS
tom, the Raleigh editor spoke at
Haywood County Day" exercises,
which also opened the assembly.
The Rev. DR.. w. A. Lambeth,
president of the assembly, presid-
ed and introduced the speaker.
Daniels, Navy secretary during
World War and later ambassa-
dor to Mexico, counseled against
tie suggestion that the churches
demand to be represented as such
in the shaping of a world organi-
cation that must be open to all
nations, great and small
THE church's mission is spirit
ual. The worst thing that happen
ed to the early church was when
Constantine with his legions took
ii under the protection of the state.
Every union of church and state
has been the enemy of true spir-
ituality.
THE men who write the peace
will need the prayers and the cup
port Of the church and it must be
modified spiritually if the hopes
of Christe1dom is to be realized"
he said.
Asserting that 1.-The church will
soon be face to face with its duty
toward securing and undergirding
peace" Daniels asked:
will the church repudiate what
followed the First World war as
it has been compelled to make
an about face in its attitude as to
this war;"
Recalling that the Methodist
General conference in 1910 declar-
ed it would not indorse, support
or participate in war as church,"
Daniels said the church later held
that ut is we'll within the Chris
tan position when we assert the
necessary use Of military force to
resist aggression which would
overthrow every right which is
held sacred by civilized men,"
This change of front is not so
great as has been accepted. It
does not endorse war per Sc. It
opposes war. 1t hates war, but it
recognizes that when the question
is whether aggression shall destroy
every right which is held sacred
by civilized man or by taking up
arms preserve the home, civiliza-
ton and democracy, the church
takes its stand against the agrees
sors.''
