THE CHURCH TODAY

the needs of the times-it is a ques-
ton as to whether we are big enough
to apply it.
At conference of sociological work
ers. held some time ago, a speaker de-
clared that during the past % years
the church had increased three fold
but that during the same period, social
unrest had also increased three fold;
and he concluded that the church as a
means of keeping down social unrest
had been absolutely noneffective.
1t isn't the business of the church to
keep down social unrest. The church
is responsible for the social unrest in
the world today. 1t has created it.
Having created the spirit of social
unrest among the people through the
preaching OF democracy and the APP
peal to the higher life, shall the church
now step to one side and ali.,w the un-
scrupulous agitator to come in and
usurp the place which rightfully be-
longs to the church-or shall the
church. with courage, finish the task
which It SO long ago began unseifishly
leading on the people In their fight for
democracy so that when the hour
strikes that shall proclaim their vic.
tory, the movement of the people viii
be charged with the spirit of Jesus
rather than with the spirit of gross
materialism.
This is the greatest question con
fronting the church today-for if II
loses out here, it will lose out clea,
down the line-and neither home mis-.
slons nor foreign missions, nor educa
ton nor prohibition, nor any other ac.
tiyity of the church can save it.

NEW Y DEPARTURE
IN WOMEN'S FAVOR

Opening its doors to women for
luncheons, dinners and teas. the Y. M.
Z. A. has made a departure from it's
policy and will hereafter be the scene
OF numerous delightful affairs.
These affairs will be staged in the
large or small dining room or on the
balcony, which is an ideal place for an
afternoon event and sufficiently large
to entertain large number of guests.
Mrs. c. a. Foster. who has wide ex-
perience in college towns in the middle
west, has been placed in charge and
will attend all the details of the func-
tons.
While women will be permitted to
entertain at the Y, the dining room was
opened primarily for men. ]. C. Sex
son, secretary of the Y, stated yester-
day that the plan came into being for
the convenience of committees which
frequently met during the noon hour.
The place is equipped to handle parties
limited TO so, and many downtown or
CARNATIONS will no doubt hold gather
ings at the Y.
Mr.. Sexson declared that the dining
room was opened as a matter of ser
vice, and that 1t is Lot being launched
as financial undertaking.

The church cannot live very long
because of its past achievements. The
momentum gathered through its his
tory probably would carry the church.
throughout a limited number of years
but it would soon lose its grip on
the people were it to rest upon it's
glorious history"
The fact is, the average man doesn't
care very much about the glorious
achievements of the church-that is,
the man who is living in the midst of
the conflicts of today. What he is most
eager to know is what the church is
doing to meet the conditions by whici.
he is confronted-not what it did in the
days of the circuit rider.
Nor yet is he satisfied when he is
told what Jesus and the early disciples
taught. He wants to know what the
church of today teaches. Each new
era in the worlds history demands a
message TO meet the needs of the
times. This is not plea for new
religion" nor new gospel"
1t is the old gospel that will win out
with the workingman as it will with
every other kind of man. The big task
Is to adapt this old gospel to the
changing needs of the world
Every great question before us TODAY
is primarily moral and religious in its
nature-whether it be political, socia
or economic. The church is assumed
to be the authority on moral and re.
ligious questions. 1t must, therefore
be the authority on lifes problems ir
every field.
1t isn't a question as to whether tht
gospel of Jesus is big enough to NEE

18TH TO PARADE IN PARIS

Five Local YankS Cited for

Word comes from Topeka man in
France, Don Rees. the son of George

the famous Thirty fifth is to parade in
Paris, and that the 10th, engineers
are to police the streets before and
after the parade. Some of the finest
fighting of the closing days of the war
was done by the Thirty-fifth. and
none of that division did better work,
according to late reports. than Com
pany A of the engineers. which was
the first unit from Topeka to be called
out, the first unit to go overseas, and
the first unit in combat.
A letter lately received from Rees
tells of the expected parade. and of
some of the fighting done by the To-
peka and other Kansas men. He says:
I'VE have certainly done some work
over here, such as building roads,
camps, bridges and then holding them

over the Sunday board, l wish each

OIL COMPANY SUED
Wakccney Men Claim Stock Was Sold
Under False Prctenscs.


Three suits to recover a total of So,
394 from the Combination Oil and
Gas Co. of Wichita, were filed this
morning in the office of the district
court by L. G. Johnson, H. 5. Giveler
and L. c. Gleason, all of Wakeeny,
Kan. The plaintiffs claim to have
bought shares of the capital stock of
the company. The action is brought
against F. r. Hammond, who was APP
pointed by the supreme court as re-
ceiver of the company, and against
officers of the company.
L. G. Johnson claims that in March,
April and May, 1917, he bought 1000
shares of stock, which cost him $3.50.
Giveler says he paid S1,094 for 398
shares in February, 1917. Gleason
invested $3.50 for 200 shares in Febru-
airy and September, 1917.
The plaintiffs claim that the stock
statesmen told them that the wells
were producing 700 and 500 barrels of
oil a day; that the company's assets
were over 100000 with no liabilities;
that the officers of the company would
receive no salary until the stockhold-
ers were receiving 100 per cent divi-
dends; that the company'S earnings
were from $500 to S40O a day. and

agents represented them to be. They
assert that little if any of the money
went to the company and that the ma
jority of it went into the pockets of
the company officers, who were draw
ing a salary beside. The stocks were
really not treasury stocks. they claim,

viously issued and which the directors
had picked up at a low price and re-
sold. A demand upon the company
