failed to reach any decision as to the

Priest Sees League,
Minus Christianity,
AS a Peace Failure
Rev. ]. NJ. ellis Criticises
COnferrees for Not Ask
ing Pope's Aid; Says Only
Religion Can Avert Wars

The Rev. J. NJ. Gillis, Paulist, who
with the Rev. B. L. Conway is deliv-
ering lectures to non Catholics, said
last night in an address at the Church
of st. Paul the Apostle that the peace
conference had ruled out Christianity.
For roo years, between the time of
Charlemagne and that of Martin
Luther, when the Pope was univer-
sally recognized as the head Of Chris
tendon, he declared there had been
no large wars between Christian ma
tions, and asserted that unless re-
igion was now recognized the pleni-
potentiaries at Paris would find it i'm
possible to erect an enduring society
of nations.
If the peace conference is afraid of
the Pope. he said, it might invite the
Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury or
q Greek Patriarch to accompany the
Pope's representative in presenting the
views of Christendom.
Father Gillis was addressing himself
to the question: What is the atti
tude of the Catholic Church in re-
gard to the league Of nations?" Be
cause the league was essentially a po-
litical problem, he said, the Church
had not and would not make pro-
nouncement, but speaking as a CathoI
lie priest he knew that the fundamen-
tai idea of an organization to prevent
war was in thorough accord with Cath
olic principles. He then proceeded:
eve think that the statesmen of the
modern nations are committing a tao
teal blunder in deliberately rejecting
the assistance of the Pope. If the
diplomats are really in such q desper
ate predicament as Mr.. Wilson's rather
cryptic utterances seem to Indicate; If
we are actually confronted with the
dilemma of either a swiftly compacted
league of nations or universal Boil
shevism, they may even yet find it to
their advantage to ask the Pope to
speak a word to the people who recog-
nize his spiritual supremacy.
"Are they leaving him out because
he might dominate the conference if
they let him in? If he is big enough
to dominate the conference, isn't he
too big to be left out of the confer
cnce?
"They have ruled Christianity out
They have not even permitted prayer
in the council room. They will dis
cover that neither diplomacy nor al
utruism will be able to supply the de-
ficiency created by the elimination of
Christianity.
"The only league of nations that
was in any degree successful was
founded on religion. 1t is an historical
fact that no other agency except reli-
gion can for any length of time keep
the nations from leapng at one an
others throats."

- The number of victims of
the latest Spartacide disturbance

Russian factions, the alternative being
the continuance of the present chaos

1T is not thought, however, that
President Wilson is agreeable to any

SYNOD Reverses Action
of Presbytery

DR.. w. J. Rowan attended the
meeting of the Synod at Baltimore
as counsel for DR.. McElmoyle.
Some time ago the Executive
Commission, appointed by the
New Castle Presbytery to settle
the trouble in the Elkton Church,
issued an order for a congrega-
tional meeting of the church to
select elders. Before the congre-
gational meeting could be held the
New Castle Presbytery met and
countermanded the order of it's
own Executive Commission, and
forbade the holding of the congre-
gational meeting until after the
meeting of Synod. Thereupon DR..
McElmoyle and the Elkton congre-
cation appealed to Synod against
the action by the New Castle Pres
bytery, on the ground that it was
entirely unwarranted and illtgal.
The appeal came before the Synod
in Washington this week and the
Synod reversed the Presbytery's
action.
