A Theory About Dreams

From Harper's Weekly.
 As an actual sound, heard by the sleep CT, frequently becomes part of his dream usually ending it, there is theory thai the sound is also the cause of the dream For example. the ringing of a bell, ac- cording to the theory, causes the mind tc recede, in point of time. and construct 8 piece of imagery. or a series of images coming to climax and ending abruptly at the ringing of the actual bell. This is difficult to believe, and there is no proof of it's truth. There is evidence thai dreams occur in much shorter time than seems to the dreamer; yet to say that the ringing of a bell could be both the origin and the final shock of the spectral drama is equal to saying that the play upon the imagination is instantaneous.
 In a more logical, though less sensa- tiona1 theory, the dream could be under stood as originating without reference tc facts or disturbances in the external world. After a series of scenes in tht

Convention Churches of Christ

Disciples of Christ have made what they declare to be the most marked ad : vance in their policy since 1S49, the year i'll which they met to organize their first national convention. That advance is the forming of the general conven- ton of the Churches of Christ This convention will have elected to it dele gates from the 1000 Disciples churches. and will have charge of the common or general work of this im- portant religious body. The step means such union of effort as has never before obtained by these churches.
 From the beginning in 1S49 as na- tional body, down to the present Dis cIples have held national gatherings which have been mass meetings. Every body came who wanted to. The work performed related almost wholly to missions. These were home and for eign conducted by the churches. and distinct along both of these lines con- ducted by the women. Within recent years there have grown up some other interests as a commission on Christian union. and a common relief for aged and infirm ministers. Starting with the same plan, Baptists changed three years ago to national Baptist con Yention, and ongregationalists are
 
 their national council.
 The question of a general convention was suggested by Disciples leaders a decade or more ago, but there was op- position to it on the ground of ecclesi- asticism Gradually it came to be re7 alized that 1t was lstead, a stepstoward representative democracy and economic efficiency. The new convention will have charge of the benevolences, and these are placed Tn closer relation than ever before The change creates an other great power fofe Christian work in America and the world, backed by one of tho largest constituencies in the Christian fields.
 Missionary and benevolent gifts of Disciples Nnow amount to $2,000, 900 a year Efforts are making this coming year to raise $1,000,000 as church building fund. since very large mum per of Disciples congregations are homeless, in that they worship not in churches but in halls and rented build ings. The commission on Christian union, the Rev. pr. Peter Ainslie of Baltimore, chairman, has been reap pointed and is cooperating with lead CTS of other communions. Through this commission Disciples, with Congre- gationalists and Episcopalians, are in the very forefront of Christian unity plans

Prem the London Express.
 Earl Macmillan VI, Fuerst von Lich- .nowslsy, one of Germanys grand seign- CUTS, has been appointed imperial German ambassador to the English court. He be- longs to that ancient and powerful class of German aristocratic houses of which other examples are the Plesses, Fuersten- bergs and Croys.
 Prince Lichnowsky, who Is 52 years old, is almost an outsider so far as diplomatic service is concerned. His chief work in this direction was the assistance lent by him in the negotiations with Italy and Austria in concluding the treaties of com nnerce, and It Is believed that hls inti- mate relations with the courts of Vienna and Rome materially contributed to the smoothness with which these negotiations were carried through.
 The new ambassador has travelled in all parts Of the world, and has acquired a great knowledge of men, not only from books but from actual experience, notably in the management of his enor- nous Silesian estates.
 As his name Implies, Prince LichnowslSy is of Polish extraction. He is a Roman Catholic, like -Metternich, and is persona grata" at the vatican. It is re- lated of him that he is one of the three men in the empire whose breast Is not

The Zionist movement among the Jews, led chiefly from the continent Of Europe. but having a strong propaganda here. has taken on new life with the reyerses of the Turk, and the proba : ilility of Balkan confederation. While the Turks may still control Pal estine. Jewish leaders who favor Zion ism believe that they will be so hum- bled that they will be willing to grant concession long refused for occupation Of Jerusalem and the ancient land of the Jews. The troubles of the Zionist movement thus far have been the twin ones of Turkish opposition and the fear that politics and not religion was aimed al in repeopling Palestine with Jews.
 As will be recalled the Zionist move ment among Jews has been under way for decade and q half, starting with Dr. Theodore Herlz. and having as perhaps the foremost advocate in America Prof. Richard Gotthiel of Co., lumbia university. The novelist zang- will has long been Zionist leader. The aim at first was to induce poor Hebrew colonists from Russia to go to the Holy Land instead of coming to America in such numbers. Later tAere grew up a political sentiment At first 1t was repudiated by the leaders. but for the last five years has been gener- ally admitted. The Sultan of Turkey curiously rather favored the political part of the plan, or seemed to do so. Troubles of the Jews in dealing with he Sublime Porte have had angthing but a sublime cast.
 The city of Saloniki on the gulf of that name, in southern Macedonia and certain to be a Baltimore of the new balkan confederation if there be one is overwhelmingly Hebrew in it's popu- lation. Some Zion leaders are seeking whether, if Palestine fail owing to remnants of Turkish powers in Asia, Macedonia may not be site for a new Zionist nation, and a refuge for perse- ented Jews of Russia near by Tine idea is held to be worth canvassing Jews in this country are already taking on. with the advent of the allies into Constantinople, an interest in Zionism wholly unknown before.

Trouhle Over Inscription

Catholics of Rome, with approval of the Vatican and a cardinal as chairman of a general committee in charge are prepar- ing to celebrate next year the 16ooth anni- versary of the victory of Constantine the Great over the pagan armies In the year 3la. The place of this victory is Milvian Bridge. Rome suburb, and within the city limits. The elaborate ritual of the Church of Rome is to be put into celebra- ton of this event, which did so much to change the religious complexion of the Eternal City and the Italian nation.
 The Vatican committee, waiting upon the non-Catholic Mayor Nathan of Rome, as the law requires. were dumbfounded tue other day when objection was made to the inscription which the Vatican had ordered to be placed upon the tablet that will be erected on the bridge. The Vati- can had put in the words: Erected in the Pontificate of Plus K" Mayor Nathan Is said to have forbidden the use of this hne, and to have ordered 1t to read on the tablet Erected in the reign of Victor Emmanuel III" There has thus been re- opened the whole Catholic Italian govern ment controversy and to the present mo- ment it remains opened.
