mons on marriage Canon No. 40 ono
of these amendments, states sipply that
mo divorced person shall be rcmar-
ried."
The other amendment is far less
strict than the existing canon, and
would allow the clergymen to marry
the innocent party to divorce. The
present canon tries to discourage such
marriages by requiring that the clergy
man shall not officiate until after he
has satisfied himself that the person to
be remarked was an innocent party
to the divorce proceedings. The back
ers of the less strict provision maintain
that it is unjust to make the individual
clergyman a Judge Of the innocence or
guilt of every person that comes before
him to be married.
Plans Congregational Union
Another of the big matters before the
convention that is interesting the Phila
delphians is the proposal to bring the
Congregational church into union with
the Episcopal communion. This step
toward church unity is of great inter
est. especially to Bishop Thomas J.
Garland, bishop suffragan of the dio-
cese of Pennsylvania. Bishop Garland
expressed himself today as believing
that the present proposal, which is
rather loosely outlined, will be re
placed by n more definite plan.
"The Episcopal Jnurcn is the best
basis for church unity that we have. 4"
he said "and each general convention
seems TO bring MS slowly toward II
great plan. by which some day there
will be real and extensive unity. Just
now. / feel that the proposed plans are
not adequate, but | feel that, out of
the discussion that will come before
this convention. we shall reach n better
plan than any of us has thus far
thought Of
There are two tendencies toward
church union evident in this general
convention. The more prominent is
that which will unite the Congrega
tional Church with the Episcopal Church
by arranging for a Joint communion and
for the appointment of bishops in the
Congregational Church. The plan thus
far does not enter into a discussion Of
the differences in creed

a great world wide organization for re-
lief of the suffering resultant from the
conflict and under the noble impulses
which were awakened, there was mus
tered into the service of humanity a
vast amount of hitherto latent will to
serve. without which the success at
tained by the American Red Cross and
other welfare organizations could not
have been achieved. Now that the war
is over, that will to serve must NOT be
permitted to relax, especially since the
world is facing problems scarcely less
vital or Of less potential influence upon
our civilization than those which were
settled on the field of battle. and many
of these problems are incapable of solu-
tion except in the light of the teachings
of Christianity. To grip and hold per

A POETS CENTENARY

In THE Early Years of the Saturday Club" Professor
Bliss Perry has pointed out that James, Russell Lowell
loved the society of wise and witty men, and were he
alive now, he certainly would have enjoyed the gathering
which is to be: held in New York chs week in honor of
his one-hundredth birthday anniversary.
Distinguished Britons like John Galsworthy and AL
fred Noyes will be present at the dinner to be given
Thursday evening by the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences; representative Canadians like Sir Robert Alex
ander Falconer, president of the University of Toronto,
and Stephen Leacock Of Montreal, will sit at the table
with American literateurs such as Professor Brander
Matthews. Professor Barrett Wendell and Samuel Nc
Chord Crothers. James M. Barrie, who had intended to
come, will send a message from Thrums,' and Elhu
Root will preside at the dinner. @
1t would seem that Lowell, born in Cambridge. Mass.
should be naturally inclined to the trivial provincialism
of a small New England town-in fact, the provincial at
mosphere. clings to a considerable part of his literary
most universal spirit in American letters, the author who
was susceptible to the influence of European civilizat ton
more than any contemporary.
That this is SO, is recognized in the ARRANGEMENTS for
the celebration Of his centenary, for it is intended to be,
the ties between America, England and Canada. In no
more appropriate year could such a celebration have been
arranged than in 1919 when the friendship Of English
speaking peoples has become peculiarly manifest in con-
sequence OF the burdens shouldered jointly for a common
cause.
One conspicuous trait in Lowells character and in
stellectual physiognomy was that while he could absorb
the spirit ~ foreign lands, and enjoy it, he always re-
manned above everything else an American. Even while
4feted and admired as ambassador at st. James, he re.

namely the paternal Elmwood mansion in dear old Cam
bridge.
Wherever his travels brought him, he remained a
staunch and peculiarly representative American, ana no
matter how far afield his soul strayed in the immepse
realms of the culture Of many. centuries and of two con
tinents. he confessed on many occasions that he preferred
to dwell on "home-like subjects"-which he did enec-
lively in, for instance 1.-THE Biglow Papers,
The Lowell celebrations will extend over a period
of four days and will end on Saturday, the actual centen.
NAL day. 1t looks as though this homage will be of a
unique character, and it also will tend to emphasize anew
the national significance of a poet who was not merely
a dreamer and a lesurely lover of fleeting fantasies, but
in all respects what Francis Bacon Understood by "a
full man."

THE SHADOW OF COMING EVENTS

No less a parsonage than Woodrow Wilson has
warned against that form Of government which we now
see practised in the state of North Dakota, for in a Labor
Day speech at Baltimore i'll 1912 he spoke\gravely against
that concentration of power which destroys human
energy and human initiative as WE'LL" >, $
When an Industrial commission is created in this
state. that is. when. all enterprise is made subject to the
will and control of the governor, the attorney general
and the commissioner of agriculture, we will have
brought about just that concentration of power which
is abhorrent to all lovers Of freedom and true democ-
racy, and when we see the state bank of North Dakota
dominating the economic and financial activities of every
district of the state, we will have a plain Illustration of
the truth of Mr.. Wilson'S words.
. In a slightly different way, these same schemes have
been introduced by the Bolsheviki element in Russia.
A rebel party, needing the command Of only a few rabid
individuals who had no other interests to serve than their
own Qualification, has succeeded in bringing about a con-
'centration Of power which makes czarism look on
.abashcd.
We learn in daily communications from Petrograd
and Moscow that. the printing press is constantly busy
preparing credit notes with the result that the ruble de-
preciates. There is no gold reserve to back the notes,
and the value of the ruble has been decreased with
ninety five per cent. Although the nations actual deficit
is said to approximate twenty-six billions, the autocra1ic
rebel leaders impudently declare that there is no deficit,
and that therefore, no budget is necessary.
so muCn IOr n results OIL 'COnCenLrdtlOn or power
i'll financial life!
Let US glance at the industrial conditions existing
under the same auspices: The population Of Petrograd
has been reduced 65 per cent, that Of Moscow, 60 per
cent, we learn. About 700 Observation-Disclosures which for
'merly employed about 100000 workers, now employ
fewer than 100000. The metal workers union in one
Russian city lost during a period of three months all but
10000 Of. its 200, 900 members. Chemical factories shut
down, textile establishments were forced to close, and no
plant is running now, While this stagnation
paralyzes industrial life in Russia, the printing press goes
on issuing notes for 200 million rubles every day!
One need not be an alarnlist who takes a gloomy
view Of the future in a commonwealth where similar
things might happen on a smaller scale, as long as the
movement to concentrate power consistently and relent-
lessly progresses with the sanction of the chosen repre-
sentatives of the constituents of the state. To use the
term, Socialism" about schemes such as those which
are now being attempted foistered upon the people here,
would convey far too vague an idea of what the thing
really means. anarchy has become obsolete as a word
descriptive of lawlessness, for it never amounted to
much, practically speaking. There is only one adequate
word for which no English equivalent exists-the un-
canny Russian, "Bolshevism."

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
1t isn't in the things you W
Which you must keep and 8 alone;
1t isn't in the goals you claim,
Nor is it in aAsellsh fame;
It can't be found upon a shelf;
You cannot seek for Joy itself
separate it from the things
Which life to every mortal brings.
No man can properly express
Just what is human happiness.
Had you the wealth Of efery mine,
And every gift and talent fine
OF all the sages wise and gray,
You could not give one single day
Alone to seek for happiness
With any hope of real success.
Who longs for happiness must learn
That it is something he must earn
Not by a selfsh-seeking way,
But by his toll from day to day.
1t comes from duty bravely done,
From struggles hard and carrying
on,
From standing firm and being true;
1t from everything men do.
No ma can happy be, unless,
He helps another in distress.
There is no single road to bliss;
Who seeks for it, the way will miss.
makes his happiness his goal,
Will always have q troubled soul.
Who would be happy, first must
plan
To bear the burdens Of a man.

THE NEXT SENSATION

The United States navy department has, ordered
Commander Tower to make plans for a trans Atlantic
flight which is to take place late this spring or during
the first part of the summer, and at the same time we
are informed that Hugo Sundstedt, a Swedish naval Of
hcer, is testing his giant tri-plane for a swift journey
through the air from the new to the old world.
From time to time-ever since Walter wellman
made his ill-fated attempt to cross the ocean in a dirig-
ible-some impotence has been expressed because the
first fight across the Atlantic has not already been made.
1t was reasoned on many occasions that the development
of aircraft has reached such a stage~that the supreme
attempt should have been made already a few years ago.
But it is not generally realized that no matter how
thoroughly perfected the technical details are, there are
numerous other phases of the situation which require a
most exhaustive study. 1t is essential, for instance. to
know exactly the currents of wind, meteorological and
other climatic conditions, and to be in possession of such
knowledge that the weather prevailing during the period
of travel can be pretty accurately foretold at almost any
altitude and at any distance from shore.
When, therefore. we are told that men have spent
from seven to ten years in charting, as it were, the air
over the ocean. we gather just a slight impression of
the vastness OF the preparations which are necessary as
a safeguard on, at least, the initial trips.
During the war the technique Of flying has under
gone a development which is greater and more signif-
cant than during the previous decade of peace. And yet
there is much to. study, to learn, and to make sure of,
for even in spite Of the enormous practical experience
gathered, it is still true that the sport or science" of
flying is, relatively speaking, in its infancy.
Next to the news that final peace has been concluded
betyeen the belligerent nations, the greatest sensation
of the year promises to be the first transatlantic fight,
and when that has been accomplished, journeys by air
from New York to London, for instance, will soon be-
come an everyday occurrence. The task OF reducing the
time consumed by the voyage to an almost irreducible
minimum will then tax the ingenuity Of inventors and
|aviators.
