World Missions and World Peace was the subject of study at the monthly meeting of the Mission circle of the Church of the Good Shepherd
 Edwin Tracy of No. B Spalding street The president of the circle, Mrs Maud B. Cobb, presided, and the roll call was answered with selections of peace.
 Mrs. Thomas Potter, secretary pro tenn, read the secretary's report, which was accepted.
 Concluding a short business session the afternoons study was taken up Mrs. Minnie w. Jenkins reading an introduction tell about the reasons for such a study, because the kingdom of God has begun on earth. The purpose of world missions is to give the good news to all people. The purpose of spread abroad the glad tidings was supreme in Christ's first disciples. The present crisis was spoken of and it was
 shown that we are to consider this
 study of the kingdom of God as a
 kingdom of peace.
 Mrs. Cobb then gave a comprehen-
 sive talk on the way militarism gained
 an entrance to and foothold within
 the church. She showed that the
 kingdom of Christ and physical war
 fare are unalterably opposed to one
 another, the one being the supreme
 expression of love. the other hatred.
 Then she explained how we find today
 SnTlSIlan people engaged Tn war or
 pursuits which sustain and promote
 war, when the hostile element enter ed in. The early church was a mis- sionary church and opposed to war.
 It was filled with love even for the
 prosecutors. Soldiers had to give up
 their profession when they became Christians even if they died for it. The early church was filled with love for everybody. A change came about the third century. From the fourth cen tury to the 17th but one distinct, sus- tained protest against the motives and practices of militarism was raised within the church, that voiced by the Bohemian or Moravian brethren, first known in the year 1457. By the use of varied colored maps Mrs. Cobb made plain the double standard that came to be in vogue. The reforma- ton failed to see the whole truth of Christianity. The nations of today have failed and are paying the toll
 There is a world thought to make over. The gospel is the remedy. We, must go back to Jesus teachings. Someone says: War is organized use of force by public bodies." The double standard under which we are strug- gling today is that militarists so-called Christian nation says that for indi- viduals Christ enjoined the principles and practices of peace, mercy and truth. But that he did not forbid the opposite principle and practice for states and nations. We need to learn that there is or should be one standard of individuals and nations, that of peace.

ADMINISTRATION RAILROAD
 BILL DEFEATED IN SENATE
Provision Forbiddins Strike Pending
 investigation of Controversy.

Washington, Jan. 24.-For the sec ond time since it began consideration of railroad legislation to supplement the Adamson law, the senate inter state commerce committee today de- clined to approve a provision sus- gested by President Wilson forbidding strike or lockout pending nvestiga- ton of labor controversy. The vote was 10 to 5, with three democratic senators-Underwood Smith of South Carolina and Thompson-voting with the republicans in the negative,
 On the first vote ten days ago the committee rejected this provision, to 3. A further effort may be made to win the committees approval and if thisis unsuccessful a fight will be made for the provision when rail- road legislation reaches the floor of the senate some weeks hence.
 Chairman Newlands tonight said the committee was still at work on an investigation bill with this feature eliminated and was confident that ap- prova1 would be given a measure that would prevent obstruction to interstate without actually forbidding a strike.

SYRUP Of figs FOR
4 CHILD'S BOWELS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh phySic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, catharties
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little ''insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach. liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails TO
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach. and that a teaspooafui
given today saves a sick child tomor--
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies. children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Assembly 70 Adjourn April %.

Take it from the attorney gon.
eral, the present extraordinary
session of the general assembly will
die natural death with the stroke OF
IL on the night of April %, the six
tleth legislative day after the law
makers convened here February II.
Aside from this legal decision a GER
tain tenderfoot in the land of legisla,
ton believes it safe bet to wager
that the solOns will keep their desks
open and continue to collect their pay
checks just as long as the constitu-
ton will permit
In view of the fact that some mem
bers of the senate or house have been
declaring authoritatively that the law
makers can continue in session just as
long as they want, Attorney General
Logan was asked about the matter.
Il can't understand how they got
that idea in their heads" he said.
Section 80 of the Constitution plainly
states nor shall a session of the gen.
eral assembly continue beyond sixty
legislative days An extraordinary
session is exactly the same as a regu-
lar session, save that only the subject
designated in the call can be con-
siGeTed. OF course, the members can
continue in session all summer if they
so desire, but their pay stops at the
end OF the sixtieth legislative day
and | shall so instruct the auditor"
So the lawmakers will fold their
tents and steal away to their respec-
tive homes three weeks from next
Thursday. The amount of work still
ahead indicates night sessions will be
in order during the last weeh and the
final night probably will see the clocks
stopped at a few minutes before mid
night in order to allow of still a bit
more legislation.
Considerable work remains to be
done. To begin with. the senate must
dispose of the Gardner Classification
bill and the Picket Bank deposit bill,
both of which are meas.a,sS recon-
mended for enactment by thu 4pecial
tax commission. The house pae@ed
the bills by safe majorities and the
senate expected to do likewise, in view
OF the fact that it passed :he Oliver
bill, the first of the commissions bills,
by two to one vote.
Then there are the icUnse bills to
be acted upon. And when considera-
ton Of them begins there are sure to
be several brands of Hades raised
There are 100 representatives and
thirty eight senators, and each of
them is fighting to tax one thing and
fighting just as hard to keep a tax off
other interests.
That being the case. Purifying will
be INDUCED in during the next three
weeks, with bills already introduced,
placing special license taxes on every
thing from bachelors to pool tables.
Among the taxable articles" at which
these bills are aimed are coal, oil. ma
tural gas, liquors malt beverages, COM
mercial auto trucks. tobacco, bache-
lOrs, patent medicines. corporations Of
many descriptions, theaters, picture
shows. soda fountains. cigarette deal
ers, automobile agencies, mortgages
loan associations, bulls. jacks. sta
lions, race tracks, billiard tables, lit
ney" lines, tipping concessions and
still other things.
