What four great spiritual
leaders say in current issues
of The Christian Herald

"COOD will among men as substi-
~ tute for force-ca it succeed be-
tween nations? That is the test that
Christianity is going through today.
P These words of The Christian Herald
are the very ones and the only ones that
can fit the crisis and seize the opportu-
nifty. REV. JUNIUs B. REMENsNYDER,
Pastor St. James Lutheran Church, New
York-in The Christian Herald for
April 5.
"THlS is the day Of d the ehureh's ggloTi-
L. Gus privilege. God pity her if she
should fail to embrace the opportunity"
DR.. ]. WILBUR CHAPMAN, late Mod
orator, Presbyterian Assembly.
"DEMOCRACY must control in re-
~ ligion as in every other department
of organized life. In religion we have
been too content to accept either autoc-
racy or anarchy. DR.. J. E. MCAFEE.
"EVERY denomnational name must
IL be made secondary and subservient
to the name Christian, not in theory but
in practice. DIR. FRANCIS f. CLARK,
Founder and President, Christian
Endeavor.

What is being done
to gain unity

A FEW days ago small group of
~ Americans arrived in Europe.
4 a They we're not business men seek
ing after-the-war markets. They were
delegation of church leaders to make
definite plans for worldwide conference
of all Christian churches in all countries.
This effort is one of many in the
direction of church unity. What will be
the resultl
Will the churches be merged, as has
been proposed in Canada for the
Methodists, Congregationalists and
Presbyterians?
Will the churches unite on certain
general principles, without interfering
in any way with the right of each
man to worship as he chooses?
Will there be community fsderations,
such as that in Indianapolis, where
200 churches, by combining their
efforts, gained 1000 new members
in five years? q
Some form of unity there must be.
Yet not until we universally recognize
the need, can the right plan be formed
and succe ssfully carried out.
Week by week the Christian Herald
is explaining this movement, and is
bringing to bear on it the thought of
leaders in every walk of life.

MUNICIPAL BAND

Struck Up "The Star-Spangled

An incident that would have been
amusing had 1t not been for the more
serious lesson IT taught a f"w spectators
occurred in the South Side Saturday
evening.
Four ex-servicc men. still in uniform.
were standing with their young lady
friends at a street corner few blocks
from the carnival grounds. Near them
stood a soldier alone. Absence Of the
red chevron on his left arm indicated
that he was only on furlough
The car was late. but it finally came
into sight. But just as it was approach
ing the corner where the group stood the
Municipal band playing the SATURDAY

struck up The Star-Spangled Banner.
The strains could be heard family. even
way down at that street car stop orc"-

the four ex-soldiers halted on the curb
instead Of stepping out TO tho chr. ard
soluted. too. The car stopped. two or
three less thoughtful civilians stepped
aboard, and the car moved on. bu: IN"
hands Of the five young men remained
rcspectfully at the brims of 'hci: hats
until the last note Of THE Star-Span-
rled Banner" was played and the car
which they wanted to take was nearly
two squares away.
The companions Of the young soldiers
didn't mind the walt for the next car n
bit, for they were justly proud or the
way In which their young fricnl3 showed
their loyalty to the training they re-
ccived as soldiers in rendering the pre-
scribcd token Of love for tho flag.

distinct shock to the country, but was
emphasized by Nhc details given oy MI

II was remarked by some OF the news
papers that this constituted criticism
OF the cabinet. Of which he is a member.
but his view was Endorsed by PremleS
Lloyd George.
Virtually every newspaper m Lennon
toined a chorus OF condemnation Of he
national expenditures, and newspapers
hostile to the government criticised II
for its rash, wasteful extravaganza.
The house Of commons, II was remark
ed, was largely responsible because II
surrendered control OF expenditures.
The Daily News" declared "evHn the
present house Of commons Is a last
aEhast at the governments reckitss
probability and Its total lack or any pol
icy designed to stay the countrys career
toward bankruptcy"
Tho newspaper fixed on the army and
navy as the chief causes OF eXtraFa-
gance, condemned the maintenance or
the present great military force and lie
precated the proposal Of the United
States to create "a standing army OF
half million" which. It is said may
we'll be hailed as setback to the whole
cause of disarmament"
THE Daily Mall. which announced
that the Forthcoming second report OF
the Air Ministry will contain amazing
revelations Of extravaganza more sensa-
tional than any yet divulged. SAID the

The newspaper added that II the pres
ent government cannot reduce expenses

paper generally expressed the hope that
