 The great world campaign for uni
 versal peace, the Bishop declared
 was q failure. He took the stand that peace could not be manufactur- ed. The powers might try but their work would be a failure. Universal peace could only come through tne thristianizing of the world There could be Hagues and there could be peace conferences, but the world would never be at peace until the people Of the world came into an uri derstanding of that peace which was a benedicticn from me great Peace maker
 He also called attention to the pro. nounciamento recently made from the International Bible students. in ef- feet that there was no hell. He de clared that the press of the world had been careless enough to state that such deduction mad come from and scholars. There is not a scholar among such body, declared the bishop
 In explaining his position as to this question. he told story There was a gruff unbeliever who had lot ot ideas Of his own, and he was ap- preached one day by a sickly little ssntimentalist who asked the unbs- lever this question: Do you be- lieve that mercifm God would per- nit any poor mogtals. created in his image to be sent to helI?' The be- fever answered promptly that he di1 not believe merciful God would per- nit the good people of this world 70 forever be consigned to the assccia- ion of the mean people of the world Just think added the bishop. "What | heaven it would be if all the people oi this earth were just transferred in To it"
 The bishop took a broad stand on -he general cry that the world was more evil that the rich were richer and the poor poorer. than ever be fore. He is an optmist He stated that one might study the history of the ancients. and the history of the leathens, and make comparisons of the present day with any period of all history. and find that the poos were never so well off as they are in this age He said the croakers lalk of the oppressed of the world, when as a matter of fact poverty ol the world was no such issue to be reckoned with as the wealth of : Q world He thought the wealth was better distributed in this age than ever before.
 He pronounced a severe criticism on tie greed of gold. He spoke of the days when Jesus walked the earth and when in several passages the saviour expressed himself as more afraid of the result of great riches than the result of great pov- erty among the people. He spoke of hew wealthy people dispute their wealth. how they lie to the tax as sessors, and how they evade an ac- Acknowledgement of their possessions, to create greater wealth.
 The bishops sermon was dedica- tory to the Central Methodist church and he congratulated the congrega- tion and the church organization on its ediiice. and warned that il ever be held sacred and eonsecrated tol tlAa calsse in which it was built The audience was probably the largest that ever gathered in the church Tho weather conditions were bad but every seat in the church was filled the congregation extending to the balcony and Sunday school room.
