SIGNIFICANT WORLD VOICES
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELZLE.

The world is echoing with new,
strange voices. Sometimes it is the
cry of one in the wilderness, the fore
runner of new world policy, a new
social system, new religious force.
Often it is the voice of thunder that
comes from the heart of the masses,
speaking with no uncertain sound.
If these world voices could be blend
ed into one grand chorus, their theme
would be expressed by single word
-"Expansion."
Men are today seeking national ex-
pansion. America is bound to grow
because we have all the conditions
which make for permanent success.
We are demanding social and eco
nomic expansion. This will mean a
larger, fuller liberty. 1t will mean a
more abundant life. In this struggle
the people are going to win. No hu-
man power can prevent it, and no
divine power will. 1t is part of Gods
plan that men should grow, and, grow
ing, they will burst the bands that
held them.
But the world is today expanding
religiously. Rarely has there been a
time when men cried out more per-
sistently after the noblest and best
things in life. The world is not in

the hands of the devil, as some are
rules. Let US never forget that. It
is well for us to be in harmony with
His plans. No sane man would think
of fighting the laws of nature. He
would be a fool who tried to stop the
stars in their courses. But for some
reason some men believe that they
have power to successfully oppose God
in the spiritual world, forgetting that
the spiritual world is Gods world, as
well as the physical world, and that
Gods laws prevail in the unseen world,
just as they do in the seen.
1t is only the small man who sees
no power beyond himself, who recog-
nizes nothing that is divine.

SPEEDING UP PLAYS
HAVOC WITH HEALTH
OF BRITISH WORKERS

After two years of speeding up"
munition workers thruout Great Bri-
tain are beginning to show industrial
fatigue" which is having an effect on
output, says a London correspondent
of the Associated Press.
This is the report of the parliament
ary committee appointed under the
title ''health of munition workers COM
mittee." The committee says that
taking the country as a whole, we
are bound to record our impression
that the munition workers in general
have been allowed to reach state of
reduced efficiency and lowered health
which might have been avoided with
out reduction of output by attention to
the details of daily and weekly rests.
The signs of fatigue are even more
noticeable in the case of managers and
foremen and the practical results here
are probably even more serious than
in the case of the workmen."
"In many cases, perhaps in almost
all, in which staleness is well marked,
or has even advanced to definite sick
ness, an occasional day off would have
avoided much wasteful reduction of
capacity and in the worst cases the
total loss of many days of work"

The members Of the MacDowell Mu-
sic club met with Mrs. ]. c. Terrell

kowski nd Leschetizsky. two OF the
worlds greatest modern musicians.
Mrs. T. b. Losey led the very interest

| the lives and works of the two mas
ters in an entertaining manner

having no set method OF teaching
them. He was especially popular with
American students studying abroad.
His father, a musician before him,
Czerny and Sechter were his instruc-
tors. An Austrian by birth, he spent
most Of his early life in st. Petersburg
but in later years made his home in
Vienna where he died about a year ago.
Leschetizcky was married four times.
three of his wives being pupils under
him.
Moszkowski, Polish composer and
yirtuoso, made his debut at the age
of nineteen as piano yirtuoso. His
Spanish dances for four hands have
added to his fame.
