The mountains of eastern Tennessee
which produced Sergeant York and
which in a former time of stress sent
a greater proportion of men into the
Union army than any other section of
the country are the home of a hardy
race, filled with wonderful latent
possibilities but still held in the grip
of poverty and Ignorance. They sent
to the American army some of the
most perfect physical specimens of
men that it received, but one and all
they were provincial, Ignorant of
schooling, nevertheless filled with the
dormant possibilities of a hardy race
of Scotch ancestors who peopled the
hills a century ago. Bishop Bristol de
clared. The war meant en awakening to
thousands of boys from the Tennessee
mountains. .- They have found it im
possible to return to the ways of liv
ing that have been followed for gen
erations. They are demanding a
chance for education, not alone for
themselves but for their younger
brothers and sisters. Bishop Bristol
sees in this the possibility ox a won
derful change among the people,
whose energies and capabilities have
been untouched by the corrupting in
fluence of the outside world.
Occasionally there has come from
the hills an uncouth youth who called
for an education. He has returned
from his university or college course
a minister of the John Wesley type.
From like parentage have sprung
such men as Lincoln. The true force
of the mountain people has been
demonstrated many times but the
problem has been to awaken more
than a scattering few to the desire to
come forth Into the world and battle
for their ideals. The present move

has brought about may be . an aus
picious one. In the opinion of Bishop

Bishop Homer C. Stuntz, known as
the statesman missionary bishop of
the Methodist Episcopal church, oc
cupied the pulpit at the Sunnyside
Methodist church yesterday morning
and delivered an eloquent and ap
pealing sermon to a capacity congre
gation. The bishop took for his text
the Apostle Paul'a statement of his
indebtedness, not only to the Greek
and the wise, but the barbarians and
unwise of earth.
Paying one's debts to the Individ

Oldham Is coming home on sick leave

area may be assigned, but if duties
prevent, selection will be made from
among the bishops of the United
States. Bishop Homer C Stuntz of
Omaha has been mentioned for the
place, as he has served four years
as bishop of South America and is
conversant with the language and
work. Bishop Frank M. Bristol of
Chattanooga has also served four
rears ln South America and is a
Dossible selection.
It is probable that few changes will
be made In the assignment of bishops

emergencies arise.

labor matters, the Irish situation and

brought up in a multiplicity of ways
by members of the audience, but did
not elicit a definite statement of po
sition from Bishop McConnell. The
settlement of the matter is a ques

source of friction between this conn

been free from serious blunders.
Bishop McConnell declared, and a so

not an easy thing to advance.
Bishop McConnell said labor unions
have been thrown on the defensive so
far as public attitude is concerned.
Labor has won for itself practically

added. "Wage reductions should not

was more difficult to collect the data

address included a reminiscence of his

with the church leaders in those

Most of his address was upon the
conditions ln Europe, brought about
by the world war. ln many respects
beneficial changes have come to
Europe, tespite the terrible cost.
Bishop BuVt declared. The release'
from monarchlal control, as especially
noted in Austria. Germany, Hungary
and Jugo-Slavfa, will mean greater
liberties to' the individual and will
have a far-reaching effect, especially
when the recovery from the ravages
of the war becomes more marked, he
said. The release from the control of
the Catholic church and Rome, espe
cially in Austria and her former pos
sessions, is a very important step in
the establishment of the Protestant
faith there. Bishop Burt concluded.

known to be ready to back a move
to place efficient schools and hospi

soreiy needed.
Million Dollars Sought.
With this In view. Bishop Thirkleld
is now approaching American inter
ests to finance a system of schools
an hospitals under his supervision
that will be extended later through
out the entire country. The bishop
is entering the field on a larere scale
ana expects to obtain at least J1.000

his project. Although definite pledges
oi tunas nave not yet been obtained,
the tone' of his letter indicated that
he was highly confident of raising

He plans to establish Industrial

The proposed move meets the ap
proval of Bishop Stuntz who rooks
upon education as the one thing which
will overcome conditions that have
made possible the misrule and revo
lution that has marked the past his
tory of the country.
"We can do more through churches,
educational approaches and social and

Only Hatred Held Aroused.
'The expedition aroused only hatred
and ill feeling and failed in its ob
ject. The schools would have been a
means of accomplishing a permanent
good for the people there."
The scheme of Bishop Thirkleld Is
considered an indication that things
are really becoming stabilized in Mex

are ready to back such an undertak
