DR. FRAZER WRITES
Of Meeting tor The Intelligencer.
Echo Convention Plan for
Anderson
(Written at request of The Intelllgcii
ccr by Or. W. II. Prasser, pastor First
Presbyterian Church.)
Tho Anderson deb-Ration has re
turned from the great convention
which was held Tuesday. Wednesday
nnd Thursday in the city or Charlotte.
They are unanimous In their estima
tions of it as the greatest gathering
of men In the history of the Southern
I'resbyterlun church. There has nev
er been mich u 'jrowd of Southern
Presbyterian men in one gathering,
and there has never been such a pro
found impression of the work of the
church an was made at this conference.
Dr. Campbell While, in his closing ad
dress, denominated the missionary en
terprise us the biggest business in the
whole world. He sultl that In com
parison to the Standard Oil and Unit
ed Steel enterprises were but babes!
There are thone of the delegation
who have seen the widest horizon that
has 0V2r dawned upon them. A
world-vision ban been gotten. A wid
er work must result. The Idle tulk
of not believing In foreign missions
1* folly to every man who looks at
the mission of the church of Christ as
it is given in such a convention.
An outline or the program even
would be Impossible. A row of the
speakers may be mentioned. John It.
Motto waB the first of tho world wide
reputed leaders. He came on Tuesday
night with his new massage on "Tho
Message of the Hour." It was ovf\i
such. Throbbing with the sympathy
and suffering from the war zone fi*om
which he has Just returned. He put
Europe before his bearers aa they had
never seen it before, mri as he declar
ed, as ho had never seen it before Dr.
Motte declared that
Ohlei plr.ee visiting ?h
z> :i ) tbflii before h-.
ci iiv t I Pat no one . (*
is a g i ai deal
European war
w.-ni. He u<
' . see what he
had been compelled to see and to
I--ii what lit! had i-ompeiUt! lo
hear ami not have the very fountains
of his vitality sapped unless that one
be ? hypocrite. Dr. Motte declared
that Europe is one great pathetic
groan, and that every where tle-re
are rivers of pain flowing back from
the front where hundreds of thous
ands hur? been killed and millions
have been wounded. Dr. Motte .laid
that the Buffering of the soldiers 1*
nothing to compare with the greater
sucering of wait Ing wives ami wailing
children; of heart broken fathers and
mothers who have loved ones at the
front and who listen for returns after
each engagement, lie declared that
every visit he made In Europe ami
the British Isles was lo a home of sor
row. Dr. Motte said that it nieuiis
however a great revolution of Eu
ropean conditions. That there is a
grout religious awakening throughout
the war zone. He said thut it Is tho
revival or religion rather or the Old
Testament type than of the New.
That It is a great cry to the Lord (Jod
or Hosts ami of battles rather than
to the Christ or brotherly love and
of peace.
Ho said that there is a great un
derswell or ethical renaissance in'
Europe today. The elimination of
strong drink In one day In one In-!
stance, Iba putting of the crswhile In
tense selfishness into the smelting pot j
or human need and suffering and the j
bringing Europe out with the dresB or
personal selfishness completely con-!
Bumed. He said that Ambassador Page
had said to him: "Mr. Motte, there; Is1
not a selfish man In Europe today." !
Dr. Motte referred to his conference
with "'resident Wilson and said that
he had 'old the president that so far
as America is concerned she ha? a .
future of her own making. Her op
portunities In the old world will ho
pra-.tlcully unlimited. "As our faith
is. ho shall It be unto us", was the dic
tum In which he expressed It. He
made ,i strong uppeal for an unselllsh
approach to our great burdenl He
tiaid thut while groat nations are
stretched upon the cross It would be
unworthy of any man who heard hlui
to go out to Hvo a Hellish lire. "Let
us place nil thut we are and all that
V/o possess at the disporal o ft he Mas
j i< r. <osi what It may", wuh tin- con
illusion of his masterful address.
j Hubert K. Sj.r, who is secretary of
I the hoard of missions t?f the Northern
Presbyterian ciiiircli wai a towering
i giant. Mr. Speer is an anomlly from
mi ecclesiastical standpoint. He is
a high honor graduate or Princeton
; University and or Princeton Seini
i nary." and lias had the title or 1). I),
thrust upon him. hut lie is not a regu
larly ordained minister. He has given
Iiis life to the work or mission:-, and
is a 111:111 ot world-wide reputation.
No man has a roller conception or tin*
great world task than Hoben K. Speer,
and no one can tell better tbun lu?
what are the demands of duty and
outline more concisely Hie lines of
activity. He brought two ?reut mes
sages m tin convention. One was on
"The Conditions tor World Evangeli
zation." ami the other on "Christian
Missions and World Issues." It waB
perhaps in the latter that be excelled
himself. It bad as its groat core und
center Jesus Christ lor the Nations.
Mr. Speer said that there is a great
danger that we shall bo overawed by
1 lie day in which we live. He chal
lenged any one to prove that this was
the most niomeiiloua time or history,
ile. with bis characteristic readiness
with exact information, traced tho
history of tin* world and allowed tbe
great upheavals that have staken the
world, instancing especially tbe in
vas ion of Home by tho groat barbur
ism hordes who came down upon her.
and coining down to 50 or tiO years
ago when, he declared, four great
, wars were rougbt within 20 years in- .
I Solving issuc.s tlsat were larger than !
those now at stake. He said that there'
are a few things that we need to [
accept us assets tor our missionary
I world-campaign. Qne or these is Hint '
j tho world is one.
! Von cannot bave a missionary enter- |
prise Tor a split-up world. "Go ye
i into all the world" is the command j
i nnd assumes one God, and one great 1
human race. Haclel pride, national '
j narrowness und provincial thought
are enemies lying In wait always. One
; or the benefits or the present war is
the eradication of this to a large ex- I
tent.
Ho declared that tbe war has shown
mankind the deep, abysmal fundamen
tal need of Jesus Christ. He said that
; rather than have our taith shaken by
thlB greut war wo' should see that
which is the plainest thing in the '
world. "That only Jesus Christ can
take this old world or ours and wash
it or Its evil and impurity and reclaim
It with His love." Christianity is the
hepe of the world. And Christianity
needs defining anew, he declared: "It
is not civilization. Institution, social
progress, philanthropy, or anything of
the sort; it is Just Johus Clirlst and
He alone." It must be divorced from
everything except His saving gPuco
and personal loyalty tu Him." The
power of our religion lies not in dip
lomacy, civilization or education, but
in itself its unseen, uncompromising,
all powerful Lord, Jesus the Christ
of Cod." He said that this is no hour
to withdraw or retrench. We have
been piling up our surplus for de
cades. Now is the time to ubo Hie
aurplnn. It is the sacrllieliiK of for
tune or of Christ. Which will it be?
It would be unworthy of the Southern
Trc-Kbytc-rlaii church Which ?as born
in tbe hour of war and rocked In the
cradle of hardship, but which Inscrib
ed upon Its banner the commission of
Hie Lord Jesus Christ before It ever
exalted it as a standard, it woud hie
unworthy of Hb great history to with
draw or retrench in such an hour as
this.
.Mr. J. Campbell White, general sec-I
rotary of the laymen's movement, was j
the linal speaker of the convention.!
lie climaxed ull that was said. His
strong personality was poured out In
tiie anointing of the whole offering of
the convention. His subject was:
"Leaving Your Mark on The World."
Among the essential requisites of the
man who shall leave his murk on the
world the&e two were most prominent
ly stressed. First he must recognize
the central place of God In human
life. Cod has a plan for every life.
Man must find It and Bubmit to it.
Second ho must surrender himself to
the will of Cod. "Scaled lips are the
result of the consciousness of moral
failure and defeat." "There Is no vic
tory until there Ib surrender." "We
can never have all of Him until He
has all of us;" "God will (III us as full
of Himself as we will hold," these
und muny other great steeming truths
fell from bis lips as he held his au
dience spell-bound.
Time would fail us to tell of Dough
ty with his great address on Interses
sion. "The highest form of service, of
lnnes In the masterpiece of Christian
consecratlfen ; " "How crin a man heat
send his money on ahead?", and Shane,
In "business efllclency vs. church ef
ficiency," these were all laymen who
are successful business men and who
use their successful business for the
promotion of the success of the "King's
Business."

War! War! low priced cotton and
hard times, seem to be the topic of
conversation everywhere, and at all

your patience, and perhaps your tem
per too; over such frlvilous subjects.
We beliovle that the war is not the
cause of the price of cotton being
so low. If you want to get our opin

take him from tbe plow,' hook him to

see him have to pay $3.99 for a boot

"LEGAL ADVICE"
ITEM RETAINED
I Amendment to Strike Oist Item
Lost by Vote of Thirty to
Nine
COLUMBIA, Feb. 19.?Senator Jno.
'. Williams offered an amendment to
strike out the "legal advice" item of
$2,000 in the appropriation bill in tho
_ section providing for the governor's %
office. ThiB precipitated considerable
discussion. The Alken senator want
ed to know the cause vjf tho change
from the precedent set by former gov
ernors. Senator Verner thought if
.Governor Manning had known the re
sults of his correspontence with At
torney General Peoples he would not
haVe made public the correspondence.
He favored having the 'turn stricken
out.
'1 Senator Sharpo also opposed the
$2,000 legal advice item and thought
I it ought to be stricken out.
Senators Christensen and Banks
were in favor of retaining the item in
j the appropriation bill.

and as free from any taint of- faation
alism as I ever have been," began Sen

ness that prevailed in this State for
the last four years and when there
com?s a call from one who baa raised
the. banner of law. and order," said
Senator Johnstons, ' it is our duty to
; rally for law and order,'" continued
the Newberry senator. In reply to
J questions of Senator ?harpe the New
I berry senator said "there were 13
solicitors, but blind tigers have
flourished in eplte of them."
Senators Laney and Appelt both fav
ored retaining the item in the appro
priation bill.
Th? amendment by Senator Wil
liams was lost by a vote of 30 to 9
