of the cells is explained and justified
on account 'of the recent disorders. The

board OF control that the board did not
wait for Mr. Cownie to make state
he is engaged in the preparation of evil

and her employees.
In her testimony Miss Garrison says
she objected to the bostrous manner
of Cownie and his habit Of placing his
hands upon the girls while talking to
them. They also disagreed about dane
ing and Cownie said to he- he would
not belong to church that would not
permit dancing.
Says Cownie Was Chief Factor.
On enc occasion Cownie had COM
planned because she had intercepted
the letters to ths board or opened them
before they were sent. 1t was then that
she induced the board to direct that

several lines. First of all there can
be treaties Of arbitration. There are,
Of course. states SO backward that a
civilized community ought not to enter
into an arbitration treaty with them. at
least until we have gone much further
than at present in securing some kind
Of international police action. But all
really civilized communities should
have effective arbitration treaties
among themselves. believe that these
treaties can cover almost all questions
liable to arise between such nations, II
they are drawn with the explicit agree
ment that. each contracting party will
respect the others territory and Its alb
solute sovereignty within that terri
tory. and the equally explicit agree
ment that (aside from the very rare
cases where the nations honor Is vital
ly concerneO all other possible sub
jects of controversy will be submitted
to arbitration. Such treaty would in
sure peace unless one party deliberately
violated it. OF course, as yet there is
no adequate safeguard against such de-
liberate violation, but the establish
ment Of sufficient number Of these
treaties would go long way towards
creating world opinion which would
finally find expression in the provision
Of methods to forbid or punish any
such violation.
Self Preservation Necessary.
In new and wild communities where
there is violence, an honest man must
protect himself; and until other means
of securing his safety are devised, it is
both foolish and wicked to persuade
him to surrender his arms while the
men who are dangerous to the COM
munity retain theirs. He should not
renounce the right to protect himself
by his own efforts until the community
is so organized that it can effectively
relieve the Individual Of the duty OF
putting down violence. So it is with
nations Each nation must keep we'll
prepared to defend itself until the es-
tablishment of some form Of interna-
tional police power, competent and
willing to prevent violence as between
nations. AS things are now, such
power to command peace thruout the
world could best be assured by some
combination between those great ma
tions which sincerely desire peace and
have no thought of committing agrees
sions. The combination might at first
be only to secure peace within certain
definite limits and certain conditions;
but the ruler or stateman who should
bring about such combination would
have earned his place in history for
all time and his title to the gratitude
of all mankind.

''The shores of time are strewn with

that had no world vision. The church
needs worldwide missionary spirit
to purge it Of ITS selfishness. What

will cleanse the clogged channels of
