Proposed Torsey Memorial
Church for Kents Hill, Me.

Kents Hill has been without the
use of church building for several
years. The students and citizens
have attended worship in Deering
Chapel of the seminary. This has
proved inadequate for the needs of
both the school and the community.
The renovation of the church be-
gan last year and is to continue this
summer. The outlay needed is
much larger than the small COM
munity around the seminary can
hear. Many of the families are here
in connection with the seminary and
have few permanent interests.
The appeal of kent's Hill Church
is as wide as the appeal of the
seminary. The church building ade-
quate for the seminary's need can
not be furnished by local resources,
although the townspeople have been
and are toiling far more than could
be reasonably expected. The help
must come from those who are in
terested in the educational work Of
our type and cherish memories Of the
past.
The work has been gradually car
ried on through the efforts Of the
past, until the time for the consul
nation of the dreams has come. We
have a splendid pipe organ. and a
solid basement has been put in, but
these are of no avail unless we COM
plete the work so that the structure
is physically and artistically Mt to
worship in.
Outside of monument down in
the little cemetery, overlooking Tor
sey Pond. there Is nothing to per-
petuate DIR. Torsey's memory. There
is nothing to raise the question, Who
was DR.. Torsey? There are q few
who are living to tell of him. but
when they cease to speak, what 9TH
err appropriate source of memory
have we? What better than a COM
Portable, artistic church?
We need $500 to renovate and re-
model our church and make it a fit
memorial to DR.. Torsey. The project
has the hearty support of the dis
trict superintendent. Principal New
ton. the faculty and trustees. Sure
ly there must be % graduates Of the
seminary to whom the memory Of DIR.
Torsey is worth 800 each. or at
least one hundred graduates to whom
the project is yorth SIS each. The
funds are needed>now. Send money

Stop Drifting

One great AMI human trouble with
this old world is that it is just now
very weary. For nearly five years it
has been at agony pitch and under a
more tremendous strain than ever be.
fore since it first began to revolve.
We are all alike in wishing things
could become normal again and we
could 60 on as we were wont to do,
but between then and now there 10
still work to be done as vast, as ex-
acting. as delicate as anything we
have been called upon to do.
The hrst requisite looking toward
normal life is for the everyday in
dustrial and Commercial activities to
resume something like their former
scope OF operations. This requires
active and energetic participation by
both capital and labor. and both are
reluctant to start until peace il .
surety. Capital Is justly reputed to
b most cautious and timid. never
daring to show itself II there is the
least premonition Of danger. The
delays Of the past six months have
only increased the dangers to capital
and it 10 more and more determined
to lie low until things are reasonably
safe.
Labor's part In production, whether
labor will admit it or not. is directly
conditioned on the attitude Of CAPT.
tai. The laborer will not work unless
he IL sure Of his hire. Just now the
combination Of universal WEAKNESS,
uncertainty Of peace and capitalistic
wAriness creates a situation without
precedent and Furthermore without
q single testimonial to recommend it.
In Europe the labor problem is fur
Their complicated by the fact that
men are being supported by unem-
ployment money as they are earning
nothing. Frank A. Vanderlip who
has just returned says that in Eng
land alone more than a million men
are drawing 100000 weekly from
the unemployment fund. and that in
Belgium conditions are similar. For
months reports have been coming
from Germany that men who have
become accustomed to living on un-
employment money have grown to
like it and show no disposition to go
70 work when offered Jobs. It is not
to be assumed that the workmen Of
other countries will exhibit the char
Actsristics Of the supermah Of Ger
many, and as class 80 lose their
self respect that they will be content
TO live on government charity. but
there 10 always a certain element
which Is perfectly willing to let the
government do 1t, ana then blame the
government because It does.
There Is. moreover. a limit to the
amount OF unemployment money that
a government can dispense without
feeling 1t. Somebody must pay,
sometime. somehow. The worlds
wealth maintains its stability or
shows increase only as labor is pro-
ducttvely applied to the raw materi-
ais OF nature. Transforming them by
the use Of mechanical aids and tools
into goods which the world wants and
must have. Manifestly the thing most
needed is an end to the revisions and
notifications being made in the peace
treaty. The final document should
be Immediately presented for sigma
ture. the peace conference should dis
band and give the world The necessa-
~ chance to pick itself up and go on.
