H. Rushbrooke, executive seeretary, Baptist World Alliance, London, England, spoke this morning on the subject "Greater Characters For A Greater World" before the more than 1.000 delegates to the tenth annual southwide Student Union retreat at Ridgecrest, Southern Baptist summer assembly grounds. "Formerly, the secular press took no notice of religious activities. But the Baptist World Congress in Berlin, Germany, last summer received mous world- -wide publicity, aroused A tremendous interest, reflected new religious sympathy. and caught the attention of the secular press," he said.

"Baptists while in Berlin considered the same issues through which Germany had antagonized Christian feeling. Their resolutions concerning Nationalism, socialism, And racialism brought greater prestige to the worldwide Baptist denomination. "In Germany, where the religious message 15 most completely the Baptist World Congress expressed Christian feelings concerning the most important International issues, commanded greater respect for denominational activities. and exerted an enormous moral influence through Its world- wide fraternal Christian love. "Baptists are able to present their to every continent.

Their hold when all others fail. They should spiritual bonds are the strongest and transcend all work to their worldA wide mission. Baptists are thinking In world terms, AS they represent great Christian character. reflect the simplicities of Jesus Christ, and serve to inspire all. "The Gospel and freedom are the things which Baptists are giving to the world.

Carey, pioneer of the modern missionary movement and social reformer in India, illustrate this point. He checked the great evils of India, for his life WAS shaped by Jesus Christ. "Such men who are great in the eyes of the world owe everything to the influence of Jesus Christ. They are the trustees for the Christian Gospel to meet the needs of the world. Baptists Are tremendous witness for religious liberty throughout the world.

"Religious liberty 1s being challenged. From country to country the witness of Baptists is more needed than ever before. Some of the religious evils are due to. neglect, The outstanding fact about Russia today la not her Industrial and mAterial development but the complete crushing of liberty of the soul and the onsweep of the mighty flood of atheism. "This 18 without precedent in the history of Russia, which formerly had a church.

Vice, superstition, and ance caused the breakdown of their church, which was but an echo of state of tyrants, The state Ar the church fell together in Russia. The present onsweep of atheism there resists all human advance. They need the Baptist principle of a free state and a free church for the preservation of human freedom everywhere. "In Germany, the protestant churches Ate divided. One faction obeys the commands of the nationalist socialist, labor party, The other faction actively resists the commands of political authority.

The Germans brought together their established state churches and fused them into one. "They excluded all the Jews, and played tricks with the Bible. But these activities brought about A re bellion. The masses, after obeying the state for 400 years, couldn't derstand why one man could rule the church. They felt that grace And not FACe should dominate the ligious lasue.

"The Germans have to face the bitter question of being compelled to the state. Now they want to obey God rather than man.

Has Just Started Work Both the ecology and morphology of the flora of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park area and the Pisgah region will be the subJects of investigation, the botanist said. How extensive or exhaustive the study might be at this time he was unable to say. He stated he had barely begun his explorations but had gone far enough to know that the flora of the mountain regions or Western North Carolina was extensive enough to occupy the time and talent of many research botanists and biologists. The varieties and scope of plant life here broad enough to hold attention for a long time.

The visitor said Western North Carolina is a beautiful country. In We speaking of his travels, he said he had been in more than 20 states of the Union and in nearly all of the countries of Europe. He thinks this mountain section among most beautiful to be found and remarked that the mountains here resemble many ways some of the most beautiful in Europe.

"I shall make A study of the ecology and morphology of the flora of this section," the botanist plained. Dr. Uphot was born in Amaterdam. the Netherlands, June 11, 1886. He was educated at the University of is Amsterdam, from which institution was graduated.

While in school there he WAS under the instruction of the late Dr. Hugo de Vries, professor of botany. After completing his residence work in Amsterdam, he spent five years in research work in biology at various institutions of learning and in the fields in Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, and England. In the United States, his research work has covered 20 states.

He also has extended his research into Cuba and Mexico, AS well 66 other sections of the new world. Member Of Many Societies His acquaintance with scientists and other learned men is quite tensive.

King Boris 15 himself A botanist and biologist, Dr. Uphor explained AS he spoke of the friendship between them.

He said further that King Boris' father, the former King nand, of Bulgaria, who had abdicated in favor of his son, also is botanist and biologist of note. This photograph had been given Dr. Uphor in recognition of his scientific research work in plant life, A linquist of reputation, Dr. Uphof has written and published in English, French, Gefman, and Dutch more than 550 treatises on the scientific side of plant life and related jects. Many these have been translated into Spanish.

His work in the countries mentioned WAS illustrated in the treatises mentioned.
