ident simply decides to conform to
the madness of the hour, and let the
matters of preparedness have their
way. Fortunately the weakness OF his
position makes him timid and. there
fore, do we have from him a policy
which can hardly satisfy anybody.
If, as the militarfsts assert, the
country is in dire peril of attack, the
President proposals are. -idiculously
inadequate to meet the menace of the
situation. If, as the pacificists con-
tend, the country is safer from attack
today that at any other time for a

Proper Thing Now Is to
Peel off Soiled Skin

Those who abhor sticky, greasy,
shiny, streaked complexions should re-
ligiously avoid creams, powders and
rouges during the heated days There S
no need for them. anyway, since the
virtues of mercoliz 1 wax have become
known. No amount of perspiration
will produce any evidence that you've
been using the wax. AS 1t is applied
at bedtime and washed off in the morn
ing. the complexion never looks like a
makeup. Mercolized wax gradually
takes off a bad complexion, instead of
adding anything to make 1t worse 1t
has none of the disadvantages of cos
metics and accomplishes much more in
keeping the complexion beautifully
white, satiny and youthful. Just get
an ounce of 1t at your druggists and

State and local conferences. with
which the country is dotted. The
number of these is steadily multiply.
ing, so that for many religious leaders
called upon to make addresses, sum.
mer has come to be the busiest season
of the year.
These conferences are important ir
the country's religious life. They
furnish points of contact for Chris
tians from various parts of the coun-
try and from different denominations
and opportunity for national leaders
to make their impression felt upon
the whole country. This "get-to-
gether" fashion, which is growing in
vogue yearly, marks the fluid state OF
religious work in America. By such
meetings as these the church activities
of the nation are influenced to take on
a common form.
Practically, these assemblies, where
in church members of all denomin-
ations come to know one another, are
a greater bond of unity than the form

They are an evidence and, in part, a
cause of the fact that American

membership practically moves and
thinks as one.
College Students and Religion
Certainly it is a sign Of the time
that the largest and most representa-
tive intercollegiate functions in our
day are not academic. nor yet athletic,
but religious. The notable instance OF
this, of course, is the Student Volun-
teer Conventions. 1t is true also OF
the Summer Student Conferences al
Northfield, Mass; Silver Bay, N. Y;
Estes Park, Col; Lake Geneva, Wis.
Eaglesmere, Pa: Monteagle, Tenn,
Mt. Hermon, Cal, etc,
Regularly elected delegates from
the Christian Associations of practic-
ally all higher institutions of learning
are sent to these summer conferences,
and their influence upon the college
life of the nation is profound. In ad-
dition to platform addresses there are
organized classes for the training OF
leaders in Bible study, missions and
other forms of Christian service.
Always there is large attention
given to athletics and other forms OF
the antitnesis of the old emotional
camp meetings; but they are neverthe-
less equally religious, if not more so.
