of Peace is established Not by might
physical force), nor by power (knowl-
edge, or mental force). but by my
Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts" and so
the establishment of peace is a spiritual
process, rather than a physica! or men
tai one. 1t is true that theretis physi-
cal and mental, as well as spiritual
peace. AS applied to the Individual, the
health of his body constitutes the state
of his physical peace. the health and
pose of his mind show his mental
peace, and the harmony OF his soul with
Gods purposes is the peace of God,
which passeth understanding" So, too
peace has its mental and physical, as
well as spiritual, application to the
church, the community, the state or ma
tion and the races. The establishment
OF peace, however, must be in the soul ::
and from this the mental and physical
develops. In other words, it is an in
ternal process, which develops out
wardly, rather than external one, which
develops inwardly. BY this is meant
simply that the sick soul cannot find
peace through the development of a
perfectly healthy body and mind; but
when the soul finds peace. the mind and
body will develop health.

The Mems National Missionary Con-
gress TO be held here from April &c To
so under the direction of the laymen's
missionary movement. it is declared
will be one of the most momentous re
ligious gatherings since the world mis-
sionary conference in Edinburgh in
1910 1t will be the climax to the
series of great conventions of the ma
tional missionary campaign now being
held in the leading cities of the United
states.
s5All the important foreign and home
mission agencies are making prepara-
lions to participate actively in the con-
gress. Missionary leaders regard the
gathering as potential event. The
assemblage will face new world con-
ditions of opportunity and need and is
expected to exert profound influence
on the missionary activities of the next
ten years.
The arrangements for the congress
are being made by the laymen's mis-
sienary movement. All the sessions
%fll be held in Continental Hall. The
and the delegates. limited in number,
have been allotted to the various
protestant religious denominations
upon an equitable basis. Each de-
nomination is selecting its own repre-
schtatives and delegates are register
ing from every part of the United
States.
The program, it is declared, excels
in men who possess fresh experience
and skill to report what they have seen
and heard. The speakers will be recog-
nized also as students of missionary
problems. not only in America, but in
the ends of the earth, and thvfr ad-
a:,sses at the congress will sound an
authoritative note.

Prayer and Service.

Each denomination expects of its
young people that they go from
strength to strength"-that they rise to
higher levels-that they steadily gain
more and more Of the Christ likeness.
II the expectation is realized that the
young people grow in grace, all other
expectations of them will be also real
lied.
What Christ expects from young peo-
PIE is the measure of what the church
has reason to look for. No denomina-
ton asks for more or for anything diff
ferent from what Christ asks. and He
does not ask anything but what is good
for your highest welfare. nor for any =
thing that is not within your power.
Christ expects your earnest prayers:
your willing testimony; your jealous
service: your cheerful gifts for the
prosperity and progress of the church.
If.-you are not giving these things

plain. Prayer. service and gifts are the

sole exception of the crosses and pic
lures of the way of the cross. are COW

nor in any way ornamented. The
crosses remain covered until after the
solemn denudation of the principal
crucifiX on Good Friday. The statues
and pictures retain their covering. no
matter what feast may occur until the
GLORIA in Excelsis" OF Holy Saturday.
According to the doctrine of the
Roman Catholic Church. the crosses
are yelled because Christ during this
time no longer walked openly among
the people, but hid Himself. And another
reason is added-namely. that Christs
divinity was hidden when He arrived
at the time of His suffering and death.

peace by starting with the external, the
mental and physical. 1t was thought
that the education of the people would
establish peace, but we find today some
of the best educated nations on earth
engaged in war. Then there have been
attempts to establish peace by law-by
physical process-such as The Hague
tribunal, but it has not been able to
prevent wars. But the establishment
of peace by the Transformation of mems
souls has been going on these many
centuries, and when at last every soul
shall have entered Christ:s kingdom,
there will be no more wars or strife
between men or nations forever.

Has Christianity Failedp

Is it any wonder, then, that those who
have been taught that Christ's mission
was the establishment of peace on
earth. and who do not see below the
surface of conditions and events, are
seriously asking the question, Has
Christianity failed?" Indeed, whether
we consider men as individuals, in re-
ligious groups, in political groups. or
in racial groups. one condition seems
to be common to all life: and that con-
dition is strife.

Church Loyalty.

Christian Endeavor societies should
have presented at their meetings at
least once year brief statement OF
important matters in the reports of
the boards of the determination to
which the society belongs, and an an
nual gift should be made to each OF
the boards. This would be a proof of
the societies loyalty, which is one of
the great things the denomination has
i right to expect.
There should be loyalty to ones own
denominations: but that does not mean
lack of interest in the achievements of
other denominations. The church.
work is one, and the true Christian re-
joices over the advance of Christianity
wherever or by whomsoever it may be
accomplished
1t is not union of denominations into
one body. but unity Of aim and purpose
and concord'o of action by the organize
lions of all the denominations that is
so desirable and essential for the ad-
vance of Christianity in the world.

Cooperation.

Your denomination, while expecting
loyalty to it. also expects your CO.

universal. The vastness OF the work
has brought the knowledge that only
a united church is strong enough to
cope with the task.
