Says Organization Without
Religion is Big Problem

though / confess that that is the
problem. but the real solution is an
organization through which the Chris
ton faith pervades and is tempered
in the light of Christian experience.
Again there is the question Of
theology. What are we TO do about
theology? 1t is a bad thing for a
man to profess the Christian life and
not know the Christian faith. This
is the sheerest hypocrisy. The church
must have ultimate truths for which
II must stand. The church that does
not is like the political party that has
a platform with no planks in it.
Must Have Live Greed.
The church must have a live creed.
There is nothing so deadly as a dead
creed, and that is because that creed
was once alive. The way TO solve this
problem of theology is to have a the
ology that is bathed in the Christian
experience through which the light Of
Jesus Christ ever shines. The whole
question is one Of taking our correct
beIefs. and living them, and spreading
them broadcast throughout the land.
There is again the problem of the
people who become affected by great
social passions. L feel sorry for the
man who becomes so affected by social
passions that he forgets his religion.
Again I feel sorry for the man who
has religion but no social problems.
There must be both. The fundamen-
tai change OF either nature can put
be a transformation of the soul, that
is only expressed through Christian
experience.
"In conclusion I would say that the
key to this solution is the Christian
experience, and that by putting tnls
key in the lock we can unlock every
door in the modern world. Through
the experiencing Of a Christian belief,
and by the experiencing of a Chris
tian life-that is the strategic posi-
tion of Methodism today"

POINTS OUT GREAT

SPIRITUAL SIDE

The Relation of the Sunday School
TO an Adequate National Defense. q"

ence last night Rev. Dancey Of the
Rock River conference, Chicago. sub
stituted in place Of DR.. Edgar Blake,
corresponding secretary OF the board
of sunday schools, whO was unable TO
be present.
The Rev. Dancey spoke of the mill
tary power Of Europe, how the people
there lived In fear that they daily
would be called to arms, and how they
seldom went 10 bed at night but with
fear and tremor in their hearts
In America it is different" he said.
I'VE may be going to increase our
armament. 1t may be along the line
of getting moro submarines, more bat
tleShips, or something We are pre-
pairing for a national defense. But
there can never be an adequate ma
tiOnal defense until there is a spiritual
condition of the mind leaning towards
Jesus Christ, when there will be no
war, no heartaches, no snuffing out of
lives by cannon and artillery
Spiritual Life Weak.
1T is the weakness of our spiritual
life that makes our defense made
quate. A military program is always
inadequate when they fail 10 stress
the spiritual side.
1t is easy to take care of the mill
tary side of a preparation for national
defense. 1t is easy comparatively
Speaking-to build submarines and
lay in huge supplies of war materials
But it is difficult, in fact an arduous
task, 20 take care Of the spiritual side
of this preparation
our knowledge o. militarisn must
be suffused with religious enthusiasm
There can be no effective national de-
fence without this. Such a plan at
the outset looms up as a failure. We
need to put down deep in the hearts
of the boys and girls, those great
ethical truths that they may live as
strong Christian young men and wo-
men.
This is the work Of the Sunday
school That is what they are teach
ing. 1t is necessary to get the Bible
and the light into the minds and
hearts of the people. MilitaTism does

Prof. Lynn Harold Hough. d. D., of

MethOdism should seek in dealing with
the fundamental dilemmas. in an ad-
address before the Methodist confer

The problems. he said, that confront

The question of authority. the ques-

modern scholarship, and the question
of people who become affected by

In discussing the problem Of eccles-
iastical system, the speaker said in
part:
Extremes Are Dangerous
There is a lack of power of impact
in the church that has no OrganiZa-
ton. There is a lack of power in the

SEES AMERICA
A BATTLE-GROUND
Dr.. A. G. Kynett Predicts
Christianity Will Fight Her
Contests Near Pacific.

DR. Alpha c.. Kynett, recording and
field secretary of the board of Home
Missions and Church Extension. pre-
dicted that America would soon be
the strategic battle-ground of Christi
anity. in his address before the North
ern Indiana conference Wednesday
night DIR. Kynett traced the world
tention TO the present. He claimed
that the distinct foregIeams Of a COM
ing contest were possible. when with
the whole world interested in the
struggle for mastery between races
and civilization, faiths will be largely
decided on the bosom of the Pacific.
Dr.. Kynett said in part:
Think Of the vast advantages ac-
cruing America in that coming con-
flict in the possession of Alaska, in
the magnificent western seacoast line
of our own land, in the possession Of
Hawaii, the strategic crossroads of
the sea and in the building of the
Panama canal, which has changed
the commercial geography of the
world and placed the United States
in the very center Of the zone of pow
er and influence. These tremendous
advantages and responsibilities fall
upon us not only as Am Nicans but as
Christians and MethodiStS. Not only
have all barriers been broken down
but from near and far peoples had
been brought TO the United States SO
that it had become a possibility that
nearly every community has an earn
est conSecrated man or woman with
eye open to opportunities to become
an efficient foreign missionary and
yet continue to reside at home.
Points Three Big Problems.
DR.. Kynett portrayed three great
home missionary problems: OF the
negro in the south, of the great and
extended west, and of the thickly set
tied east.
I'm the southwest and northwest,
homeseekers are pouring in at the
rate of Geo a month. New towns
and cities are springing up almost
over night. 1t is in these places, that
were we able to provide ministers and
some sort of church equipment in the
shape Of a building and parsonage.
great work would be done Were I
to build a memorial church, l should
not locate it in a settlement where
there are already other churches, but
] should build it in the far west where
there are new towns building and de-
veloping. 1t is in those towns that
we can take a firm step in making
them for MethOdism."
In speaking of the home mission

in the foreign districts in the east
which are thickG settled, the speak
er said: There is another vital prob
lem for us in the east It is there
that We must reach out and beckOn

The press OF the state. however, Is not
blind and y shows no friendly feeling
toward the railroads which are now
endeayoring to take step that viii
paralyze the coal industry in the state.
Here Is q sample OF what the news
papers are saying as taken from the
Charleston Mail and the Telegram
gives the sentiment therein its heart
Test endorsement: 4
With the coal operators having their
pockets full OF orders for the ship
ment OF coal, with the consequent
prosperity which the filing OF such
orders would bring to West Virginia,
III would be lamentable indeed II that
business were stopped through either
the proposed advance in the rates on
the haulage OF coal or through that
other drawback the shortage. Q: cars.
Naturally 1t would seem that the
railroads which are always making
q poor mouth and complaining gem
orally would seize the opportunity to
make hay while the sun shines, to
grasp the opportunity as the coal men
have grasped 1t.
This is certainly not time to be
lnterposing obstacles to the renewal
OF business in West Virginia; nor
should the prosperity and even the
existence Of West Virginia industries
wait upon the will Of corporations
and business men in another state.
Instead Of pulling aaprt, 1t is the
very time Of all times that the rail
roads should be cooperating with the
business. men OF this state, especially
the West Virginia railroads. Let Their,
receive the business which is offered,
handle 1T as It should be handled. and
then they will have no further neei
to complain and weary the public
with their chronic hard luck stories,
