Rishop's view Of the outlook is darker than the
Bishops complexion. and is at least In equal
need of a coat OF optimistic whitewash. Inc
colored man gets on quite we'll here, North OF

A man who proves in court his innocence Of
a charge instead Of killing his accuser may soon
be permitted to serve in the French Army. Civ

At the Pan-Angcan Conference to be held
at Lambeth in July the Greek Church Will be
represented by the Russian Bishop sent by the
Car to attend the Queens Jubilee, and by the
same authority ordered to stay over and make
one in the convocation Of Anglican prelates Ii
will be a sign Of am,ty between the churches,
showing anew how good and how pleasant a
thing II is for brethren, even OF different creeds,
TO dwell together In unity, and the Pope VIII
waste fine opportunity II he does not also send
q representative. The Anglican bishops not long
ago declined on behalf Of their organization to
merge 1t in the older one; and the Pope at the
same time declined to recognize the validity OK
Anglican orders But these untoward incidents
need not count. II the Holy Father were to
take example from the Car and send repre-
sentative prelate. his chance Of getting In would
at least equal that Of His Grace OF Canterbury
to be admitted to Roman ecumenical council.
1t is a good idea for them all to get together as
often as possible. There is no sense In exclusive

Cordial concentrations to the united Greater

that he is an American, as he very likely Is.

What will he do with It? The man who snapped
his mule for yellow dog shot the dog.
Instead of filing a long protest against an

full that she is released from the responsibility of
ruling over such polyglot race as now inhabits
