CHURCH D1GNITARIEs MEET
r Pope Pledges Support to Peace
Movement Of Faith and Order
Organization

Garden City, N. Y, Jan. 5-More
than fifty church dignitaries OF twenty
denominations attending the World
Conference Of Faith and Order heard
plea for universal peace last night
A letter from Cardinal Peter Gaspar-
ri, pledging the Pope's support to the
movement, was received with applause
Right Rev. C. P. Anderson, Bishop
of Chicago, who presided at the open
ine session stirred his auditors by
reference to the European war.
an the midst of the European con-
flict," he said, "the world asks, has
Christianity failed?'. 1t is a far ques-
tion as to whether a united church
might not have preserved the peace Of
the world.
ave look upon the church today and
instead of an interior indestructible
and united we find it externally rent
and torn asunder, largely disintegrat-
ed, and incapable of molding the ma
tional conscience.
Isolation, separation, and disinte-
grafton are dispelling the power OF
the Church of Jesus Christ. A bewild-
cred world and divided church are
crying how long, Oh Lord, how long
until peace be established between
nations and unity made amongst
the churches?'"
The letter of Cardinal Gasparri
read, in part:
"Your project Of an international
convention Of all who believe in Jesus
Christ as God and Saviour to ac-

GRIP SWEEPS COUNTRY
Worst Epidemic of Disease e
Known Alarms Health Au-
thOrities

Washington, Jan. 5-Infuenza, COM
monty known as grip, is spreading
over the United States from coast
to coast in the most serious epidemic
ever known, taking a large toll in
lives and causing economic loss by
incapacitating workers in all walks
of life.
Reports from Public Health Ser
vice officers made public by Surgeon
General Blue show that already the
disease has created a grave problem
for many of the larger cities, and is
spreading to the rural communities
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Cleve.
land and Detroit reported the dis
ease widely prevalent. Cleveland and
Detroit each have probably 100000
cases. OF the larger cities Buffalo
Pittsburgh, Baltimore, San Diego
Dallas and Mobile reported no signs
of an epidemic.
There is practically nothing the
Federal Government can do toward
aiding in suppression of the epide-
mic. 1t must be dealt with by local
authorities and they, in turn, it is
explained, are almost helpless with
out cooperation from the public.
Surgeon-General Blue said tonight ne
had called for reports from all parts
of the country with the hope that
publicity would tend to stimulate this
cooperation.
Statistics on influenza are difficult
to obtain because the disease is not
classed as ,"reportable" in many CT
cities. Consequently most Of the pub
lie health officers were obliged to
send in information based to some eX-
tent on their personal observations.

SOME DREAM.

A farmer sat on a tumbled-down fence
in the scanty days long ago, and dreamed
a dream that was full of cream of things
that were not so. His dug-out was a
mansion grand; his granaries DER
flowed; his family dressed in the very
best and nary a cent he owed. The
o'er-worked fields grew a bumper crop
each year of golden wheat and he smiled
a smile now all the while for life was
hard to beat. The family mare had
given way to a thing that was run by
steam; they visited afar in their private
cart sure was a peach of a dream
And then he awoke from his dreamy
dream, on top of the broken fence and
viewed, with sobs, the corn1ess cobs-s
then he asked for another chance.
A farmer sat in an opera box with his
wife, exquisitely gown'd, and witnessed
a play Time-today; HOMEGROWN
stone in town. He was the self-same
man who had dreamed of things in the
years now gone away, who had mort
gage or two on his STUFF, and he knew
they'd be impossible to pay

FARMS AND FLOWERS
Page Ten

n on the farm who is harped at the
most because of the fact that
she is the one who is the most apt to
voluntarily relinquish the things in
life which make for her own COM
fort In other words, she is the
most unselfsh of her sex. But with
the coming of spring, it is time for the
farm woman to forget for little space
the Matching of her chickens and the
planting of her cabbages and tomatoes.
AS a means of recreation and delight,
the planting of flowers is just as i'm
portant, if not to the stomach of the
family at least to the artistic sense. 1t
is appalling the numbers of farm homes
which are without the joy of vines and
flowers. One can see thousands of fine
houses f1anked by great well-fi1led barns,
magnificent silos crammed with en-
silage beautiful smooth wheat and al
falfa fields, glfstening rows of silky
waving corn, and valleys of clearly cot
ton, but the sight of a beautiful yard
or an artistic front doorway on the
farm is rare. There are so many things
TO do, so goes the cry, and mighty true
one it is, but some of the little things
should be left undone in the springtime
so that the tender flowers may be made
to grow, and the greening vine trained
to artistic curves. For these are the
things that help to make the home, and
the things that the women and the girls
on the farm yearn for. Flowers are the
voluntary offerings of the earth to
heaven; the prayers of natures heart
sent up to God With their gladstone
faces in the spring, they speak as moth
ing else does to US of immortality. Their
presence about the dooryard, where our
feet go in and out, is a constant re-
minder of the beauties of our world and
the goodness of our God. They bring
into our everyday lives something too
intangible to be described, too mystic
to be defined, but which makes for the
expansion of our souls, and where there
are women and little children, there also
should flowers always be. So, in the
first flush of the new year, it would be
well for the mothers who live in the
country as well as for those in town, to
put aside for an hour each day the cor
roding indoor cares, and go into the
fragrant out-of-doors, there to set into
the ground those dull brown seeds,
which will later add so many joys and

his native land, and in the big things
that are going on in the great world
about him. And thus it is coming to
be with the good homemaker. To do
her work thoroughly, she should be able
to bring to it a refreshed body, clear
brain and cheerful soul, and these
things she can never have unless she can
tear herself loose from the old fashioned
idea that, for women there is naught else
in life but crochet, cooking and clean
ing. These things must be done, but
why make them our literature, as well
as our work? It is time, indeed, to pre-
sumo or at least to hope that the fem
mime intellect can care for larger prob
lens, and can enjoy broader recreations
than those which have been given them
for so long. Let us have trade journals
for all 1abors, but let us not have
masculine and a feminine literature, for
when we do we desecrate an art, and
insult a sex
