Prediction Somewhat "off."

''The last great war has been fought
and the nations may now look forward
to uninterrupted peace"
This was the hope and belief pro-
claimed from many pulpits in England
when Great Britain, by royal procla-
nation. celebrated a general thanks
giving day following the end of the Ma
poleOnic wars. After the smoke of
Waterloo rolled back it revealed con-
tinent given over to desolation.
Although England had suffered less
than the other nations involved in the
long struggle, she had by no means es-
capped unhurt. For twenty years Great
Britain had supplied the financial
sinews of war for her allies in addi-
ton to active participation in battles
on land and sea.

THE CHURCH FEDERATION

The federation of churches, which is being formed in this city,
will doubtless play an important part in our civic life hereafter. Such
an organization has been needed here for a long time and wonder is
that the churches have so long neglected to exert their full strength
in the community in this manner.
There is a great work here fr. the churches, but as long as they
fail to get together for real community service their effectiveness is
lost.
1t is not necessary to set aside the differences in creeds and be
liefs in order to work together for the welfare of the city 1t is a fact,
however, that the churches of the different denominations are taking
a much broader view of Christianity than ever before and DONNA
tional lines ar being gradually broken down. With the return OF the
bovs from the Val where they found the Y. M. C. A, the K. of c, the
Salvation Army and chaplains of all creeds working side by side Tor
~ welfare of mankind, the narrow, UNCONVENTIONAL lines are gong to
be still more obliterated.
The protestant churches in Perth Amboy have not welded the
influence in the community that they should, largely because uey
have elected to work separately and without the cooperation that
so ecessary to attain results. With a federation of these churcheS'
however, their action will be a $ one body and they at once become a
great power in our civic life.
