To care f1c the welfare of OUT yr,rg men in the army and navy t; at they may pe fnTtiHcd in charac- ter and made strong to resist temp tation.
 To be vigiIant against every attempt uo arouse the spirit of vengeance and unjust suspicion.
 To protect the rights Of conscience against every attempt to invade them.
 To maintain ou" Christian institu- tions and activities unimpaired, that the soul of our nation may be nour- ished and renewed through the Wcr- ship and service of Almighty God.
 To guard the gains of education, and of social progress and economic freedom, won at so great a cost, and to make full use of the occasion to set them still further forward, even by and through the war.
 To keep the open mind and the forward look, that the lessons learn ed in war may not be forgotten when comes that just and sacred peace for which we pray.
 Above all, to call men everywhere to new obedience to the will of our Father God, who in Christ has given Himself in supreme self-sacrifice for the redemption of the world, and who invites us to share with Him His ministry of reconciliation.
 To such service we would summon our fellow Christians of every name. In this spirit we would dedicate our selves and all that we have to the nations cause. With ths hope we would join hands with all men of good will of every land and race, to rebuild on this war-ridden and deso- lated earth the commonwealth of mankind, and to make of the king doms of the world the kingdom of Christ.
 But this was a wartime creed. It was a temporary thing. Was it?
 The failure of the church was not the failure of her Master not the failure of her message, and if her various assemblies are willing to save their life by losing it, and the church can thus find her own soul, she can reveal the soul of the naton, and if thee hurches of all the natons can come into a common bond of fellow shp through suffering, they will dis cover and save the soul of the world
 If our churches in America will submit themselves to this deepening sense of spiritual unity they will help to transform the worlds Golgotha and it's Calvary into the resurrection on the third day.

BRITISH PROCURE THIRTY RECRUITS
 KI GREAT. RALLY

Thirty BritisherS went ~over the Nop" at the big recruiting rally held last night at Quilty's Colonial hall which was packed to the doors with an enthusiastic audience of both men and women. The Britishers were ad- dressed by Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, LAeut-CoL Jamieson and Lieut.. H. B. Pepler. M. C.. and as a. result of the plain talks made bv them it is safe tD say that no Britisher in Bridgeport btween the ages of IS and 5 will hold his hand up, if physically fit, unless he is wearing a uniform
 No harsh words were used in any of the addresses but the bald facts of the desDeEate situation and the need for men to replace those who have made the sacrifice were laid be fore the couple of thousand persons assembled in the hall The British officers said that they did not care if Britishers Joined the forces of the [ Unfted States. 50 long as theygpt into i uniform and did their bit
 There was not a Britisher in the < audience last night who was holding down a job here that did not feel ashamed of himself when it was pic : t5Ired to him in the incest kind of way that he was not playing fair with his American brother. The picture ot the American boy being drafted while he enjoyed the ease and comforts o1 life as well as the good job left va cant by the drafted one. was held up to him and the matter was left to his own eense of fair play and justice.

 There is no Alsace-Lorraine ques- tion for us and the speech cannot, therefore, aim at promoting peace with us. It was intended to throw suspicion at the negotiations in Brest-Litovsk. The sword alone can convince this enemy and make him ready for peafe."
 The Boersen Courier of Berlin re- gards MT. Lloyd-George's speech as an attempt to isolate Germany by in- timidating her allies.
 The Boersen Zeitung says an inn portant point in connection with the speech is that there is a material diff ference between the present British war aims and those known to have been held recently. This newspaper believes the reason may be found in England's present position, which it describes as difficult. 1,
 The Tages Zeitung makes the state ment that a peace assuring to the people of the German empire a safe and free future can be attained only by victory over England.
 The Kreus Zeitung declares MT. Lloyd-George's program can be carried through only after the com plete defeat of Germany.
 In the Taeglische Rundschau of Berlin Gen. Leibert says the balance of the war is greatly in favor of Great Britain, which has firmly in hand not only the Cape to Cairo line of communication, but the more inn portant overland route from Cairo to the Persian Gulf. These questions, the general writes, must be settled at the peace conference, and everything depends on the skill of the anti-British group whether it or Great Britain shall finally triumph.

TILT OVER BILL TO APPOINT AN
 EXTRA MATRON

Unable to explain why an extra n1atron will be needed in the proposed juvenile court. Alderman William E. Primrose. chairman of the ordinance committee, turned to personalities af- ter he was unable to answer Alder man John c. CorneIls questions last night and as result a lively tilt en- sued. It wound up when Alderman Vincent s. Whitney threw in the sponge"
 Alderman Cornell said the Demo cratic aldermen were heartily in favor of the ordinance but desired to know why another matron was needed when another judge was not required. Prim- rose made an attenlpt to explain and after his second ef12rt admitted he knew nothing about it. saying, q am not prepared to state why an extra ma1ron is needed" He then sarcas- ticaliy criticised CornelTs stand.
 Immediately Cornell arose and said: q am surprised at the attitude of the alderman who has just spoken. We are entitled to know why he should approve of this ordinance" A motion to defer adoption was lost Alderman Malcolm MacFavden then attempted to come to PTimrOse's res cue by asking with a touch of pathos | in his voice, Would the alderman ask that woman to stay there 565 days in a year? Would the alderman
 vote for any such proposition?'' Alderman Cornell remarked that
 MacF'ayden was getting away from the subject. Then the battle started
 Primrose took the floor again and in- sinuate1 Cornell was making a i"grandstand plaY-' Alderman Joseph l P. Onkev asked the chairman, Robert N. Blakeslee. if Primrose was not out of order. but the chair could not be
 convinced

The clearest sign of the Son of Man coming in power is this manifest spirit of unity in service, of unity in spirit, which is laying hold of our churches this hour of their ex- tremity, and which, when they come to reach Olivet together, will lead them to share and rejoice in the vic tory of Gethsemane and, when the time is fulfilled, with their united power, to roll thes tone away.
