There is much talk in the political
world as to whether parties will live

poets fullest allegiance to the prom
ises made in the midst of a campaign.
Much less Is it required of a member
Of party that he adhere to all it's
political confessions. Platforms are
meant for campaign consumption only,
the cynical public Is prone to declare.
But Of still greater Importance to
the world at large, than any ques-
tion Of fidelity to political platforms
on the side of parties, is that out
standing issue which confronts hui
manity in the large, whether the most
considerable group or party of man.
kind will live up to its platform. In
all the groupings Of the human race,
the largest numerically is that which
belongs to that which we may call the
Christian party Counting in all
churches and sects, there are round
half billion Christians in the world
today, or about one-third of the total
population Of the globe Five hundred
million Christians! What a stagger-
