Dr. Kirk Speaks on
 League of Nations"

The series of lectures being conducted at the First Presbyterian church by Dr. Harris E. Kirk of Baltimore was brought to a close last night with final lecture Kingdom of God" The lectures have been we'll attended throughout, and there was not vacant seat last night, even the Bacara room being thrown open to accommodate the large audience.
 "When you get around to the league of nations said Dr. Kirk. "a whole lot of people say, Oh, that's just a dream of some crank. it never will be realized But it will. It's not a dream. it's vision dream may be imagin- ary, but vision is dream with legs, Hmething that is able to stand up and walk.
 "Everything great that has been ac- complished in this world was a dream in the brain of some man at one time. Take this great republic of ours. Had it not been for the far-sighted vision of Alexander Hamilton, we would still be bunch of petty provinces. and the whole history of the world would be different.
 And the farsghted vision of Woodrow Wilson was accepted by the Tiger and the Lion, not because they really wanted this league of nations in this way, but because they were farsghted enough to realize that this thing was wanted and waited for by every little nation on the face of the earth, and had to be some- time, anyway.
 Maybe these objectors say, I'd rather have the balance of power plan for the world My friends. that plan has been given full trial, and found wanting, so far as preventing war was concerned. That plan was the cause of the present war. Every time Germany built bat : tleship. England had to build two. in order to maintain her double rating standard. Thus all of European politics was on a see-saw. and the slightest tilt one way or the other was sure to cause a break and overbalance and the tilt came.
 "One of the greatest curses of the past regime has been secret diplomacy. Secret conferences, secret agreements, secret understandings, these have caused more wars in the world than any other cause. They have grown to such an ex tent that now two little nations cannot get into the familiar back alley family quarrel without iny olving the whole

us for the past four and a half years, namely the Germans. That acute writer, Frank Simonds, so ably analyses the sit uation. The German people, the same body. minus their Emperor, who waged the war, are rapidly recovering their in-. dustries, and expect to find their place at the peace table, and not be made to restore the outrages done to France and Belgium. They expect to master Rus sia, increase their population by 5.0O0,000 and win the war by being stronger than when they went into it.
 'This same spirit has been felt in Amer ica. Propaganda is being operated in the form of the I. w. w. and bolshevism. That is the crisis that faces the world today. It is partly social, partly political, not religious but ought to be.
 No politics will ever settle the I. W. w. and the bolshevik spirit. They are anarchists, they are opposed to order and say that certain class of people can not live. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ can rectify such conditions and estab fish justice and a disposition in men to help one another. This is the only thing that can solve the world crisis. The -Sospe. os Christ is not confined to a mans soul and salvation but is broad eEough to make social conditions better. believe in the league of nations, but it will fail if all the nations are not dominated by the same ideals and those the unselfish, christian ideals. If a man tries to settle a controversy on selfish basis the success will be only temporary. The Kingdom of God begins with the in dividual, makes him unselfish, prepares him to deal with other men and to ap- pea SC controversy. There never was such an opportunity confronting the American cl urch as confronts it today. The local church is the visible unit of Gods king dom You have the opportunity of the worlds history before you today, and you must meet it by evangelistic and missionary work, by teaching and preach ing the gospel of the Son of man which YOU profess"

Dr. Simpson Begins
 Series on "HOme Life"

At the First Christian church last night pr. Robert N. Simpson preached the first of series of sermons on home life. his topic being, The Old Home and the Ancient Sacrifice"
 He said in part: 'The Bible is not without it's love stories, for it is his- tory of human communities and II would be the strange history of strange people that did not have love stories to go along with its war sto- ries. That fact makes it readable
 "When Luke makes you hear Eliza beth's lullaby and Matthew shows you carpenter going home from his shop and Mark opens the doors of some fisherman's home for you and John makes you hear the boisterous glee of lot of villagers at wedding, you can read the gospels without putting the book aside, for it is the story of home life that Jesus touched with power"
 Dr Simpson gave the story of Ruth as an illustration of the old homes relation to the new and to society. This home in Bethlehem was subject to the law of sacrifice that governs home building. The corner stone Of the new home is the -cap-stone of an altar of sacrifice in the sacrifice that the old home must make. The home that resists this ancient sacrifice re- sists the law of God.
 The family is the basic unit of so- ciety. In our city there are houses of life represented in homes and the houses of death, where family life Is disregarded and altar vows unknown. The homes give the moral impulse, the religious impulse, the religious in- pulse. the educational impulse that save the community from social death. In the houses of death religion is found in mere surface emotion, minds are far below normal and immortality rife.
 Marriage should be a sacrament, not in mere ritualistic sense, but in realistic sense of the obligation to society represented in this relationship. Marriage ought to be thought of in a much wider circle than that represent ed by a diameter the width of one hearthstone. The state has the right to impose certificate conditions in the solemnization of matrmony, for the state is affected. Eventually these conditions imposed will involve more than a minimum age limit in every state of our union
 'The state has it's obligations. too in making home making easier. The plague that brought Pharaoh's empire to its knees was the plague that af- fected the first born of Egypts fam flies. The plague that brings any na- tion to it's knees in humiliation and de- feat is that which touches the family That plague can be economic Apart ment houses may solve a housing prob lem and fail to solve a family prob lem, for the hands of the children lock the doors of many an apartment in the faces of house-hunting, home-lov- ing parents.
 There is an economic plague that smites the first born in the alarming increase of rents. the scarcity of houses, the child-hatred of many a landlord and landlady, that mean a perilous decline in the birth rate of a community"

Germans the Crisis, ''
 Says Dr. J. R. Hobbs

Dr. J. R. Hobbs yesterday preache his third Sunday morning sermon as pastor of the First Baptist church, to well filled house. At the close of the sermon there were three new members added to the church, two by letter ahd one for baptism
 His subject was 'The Gospel of the Kingdom and the World Crisis" Dr. Hobbs chose his text from the twenty fourth chapter of Matthew, fourteenth verse: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come"
 Newspapers, magazines, politicians, everybody is saying that we are in world crisis,'' said Dr. Hobbs. Just what is that crisis that we have been talking about for nearly five years? Many great events have been taking place dur ing the last four years, and are still in procedure. Can the world crisis be the peace conference, that is endeavoring to establish everlasting peace? I do not think so It is generally known that we shall have a league of nations. Just how significant it will be no man can tell as yet, but I do not feel like this constitutes a world crisis
 Neither do think it is the reconstruc- tion we have all heard so much about. America cannot be in a period of re- construction, because reconstruction means that something has been torn down and must be rebuilt. Religious ideas have certainly not been torn down, for they have been the>heart of the very or ganizations that have done most to make this war bearable, and they are moving forward with just as much vigor as ever. From an industrial standpoint there has been rather a constructive stride than a tearing down. Likewise in manufacturing. Things the world has never dreamed of being made in America are being manufactured today. There has been nothing torn down from a political standpoint. True, in parts of France and Belgium there must be reconstruc- tion, but the world at large must un- dergo a readjustment rather than re- construction, and this I believe has not such an extreme significance as to con- stitute worlds crisis.

Washington. February 16.-A new profession, that of farm mechanic, will be an outcome of the world war in the belief of the federal board for vo- cational education. which now is pre- pairing to train disabled soldiers. for mer farm boys, for such work.
 With the scarcity of labor on the farms the board believes there will be more extensive use in the future of farm machinery, and the soldiers will be trained to handle and repair tractors and all other farm machinery. Every farm of 100 acres or more will need such mechanic. in the opinion of the board which announced today that innr dications now were that the sdenal would far exceed the supply.

Felix Garziglia paints his music

a rare thing in entire sympathy with
this tone-poct of nature. The De-

The group of Chopin fell into this
category. PianistiCally effective, it
was not so essentially an expression
of the great Pole as the modern
French was interpreted. His encore,
the Mendelssohn "On the Wings of
Song" was a gem, full of feeling,
serenity, beauty, and an admirable
legato.
Elizabeth Campbell has a rich, vi

beauty. She has, too, a presence of
charm and dignity, with instinct for
the drama in music She gave the aria

and in two old Italian selections her
singing had true vocal art, with mel

purity, but the Chaminade 'Bonne

Miss Campbell concluded with a
