Lehman and Robert G. Bolton of the
United Mine Workers.
Lawson said at 10;3O o'clock that the
miners conferees would start within an
hour for General Chase's military head
quarters at Ludlow. 1--WE are trying to
bring peace and end the strike" he said.
I'VE are constantly receiving offers Of
volunteers, arms, ammunition and money

outside the state. But think we should
be humble in victory. and ! will gladly
meet General Chase or anyone else and

Bolton declared he would ask the mill
tary authorities for permission to send

nesses 10 the site Of the burned Ludlow
tent colony to exeavate and determine
whether any dead remain In the caves
and holes under the debris.
The military camp at Ludlow reported
everything quiet early today.

numerous similar occurrences which have

DEFENDS. CHURCH
IN WAR ATTACK
Rev. DR.. Urmy, in Sermon, De.
clares Criticism Is
Unjust.

A return to "the faith once deiiv-
cred to the saints" was the comfort
ing prospect held out by Rev. DR..
Ralph B. Urmy in his Sunday night
war sermon at the Centenary Meth
odist Episcopal Church. He said in
part:
1t is charged in some quarters that
this war indicates the failure of the
church and the breakdown of Chris
tianity and that they therefore might
better be laid aside
Let us frankly acknowledge that
the church has failed to stop the war
We can do nothing else but acknowl-
edge 1t, for the war is here But SO
mas everything else failed. Why Sc
iect the church for criticism? Every
government now engaged in war
claims to have done it's utmost to pre-
vent the war, and all confess failure.
Our own government failed. Treaties,
solemn compacts, a nations sacred
word of honor, the ties of blood, the
power of the press, the work of diplo-
mats, the dread of financial ruin. the
certainty of the death of thousands,
the sure prospect of unmeasured sor-
row and misery-all failed Socialism,
with over four million votes in Ger
many, more than million in France,
hundreds of thousands in Austria.
Belgium and England, failed Every
thlng has failed. Why select the
church and say you're responsible?
Besides, the church is terribly
handicapped by its union with the
state. The head of the Russian
Church is the car; the head of the
Protestant, or Lutheran Church of
Germany, is the kaiser; the supreme
ruler Of the Church of England is
the king. Her bishops sit in parlia-
ment, and the church is governed by
the acts of parliament. What is the
Use of expecting the church to stop
the war when the very belligerents
are themselves the church? This
union ought to be broken, that the
church may be free and powerful
1.-THE Christian faith will be helped
by this war, let us hope, in spite of
its awfulness, its stupidity, and its
sayagery. For through the disgust
the world will feel for war, through
the overthrow of autocratic power
and the rise of democracy, through
the downfall of a useless and formal
religion, through the hunger of men
for the true, the beautiful and the
eternal, there may yet come a new
birth for the faith once delivered to
the saints'"
