Would not this be the first time in

need. calls for a whole church to face
in unity such a titanic task. Would
it not be the first time in four CEN
turtles that the great division between
the Episcopal and non Episcopal
churches had been united? Surely all
who desire the realization of spiritual
unity and it's embodiment in corporate
and Visible union will hope that these
churches may not only effect such
union but may bring their message to

may well be leading the way toward

CHRISTIANS IN INDIA
AGREE UPON UNION
Movement in Mission Field
May Point Way Toward
Church of Future.
BY SHERWOOD EDDY.

t'rhis is the fifth article by Mr.. Eddy or
conditions and needs observed by him in a
trip around the wordl
During my journey around the
world ! found the Christians in the
mission field in India and China get
ting together upon the great funda-
mentals of religion. They were not
enthusiastic to propagate the denomi-
nations and divisions. the sects and
Schisms. imported from the west. As
they worked together they were
drawn together toward union.
Organic union is now proposed in
India between representatives of the
three great divisions of the Christian
church, apart from Rome-the west
ern church, the eastern church and
the free Protestant churches. At "a
recent conference OF Indian ministers
held at Tranquebar, in South India.
where Protestant missionary work
was begun more than two centuries
ago. members of the Church of Eng
land and South India United Church
agreed upon plan of organic union.

Federal excess profits taxes. passed

the increased prices, with advancing
costs including that of labor as an
added factor. The clothiers in several
instances claimed to be running their
business at net loss.

Comprehension, Not Compromise.


Uniting the policy of the Congrega-
tfonal and Presbyterian and Episco-
pal churches all in one, accepting the
principle of episcopacy from the An
glcans, and that of spiritual equal
ity from the South India United
Church, which already embraces ali
the Christians of the Free Church
of Scotland. Established Church of
Scotland. Congregational, Dutch Re
formed and the Basel Reformed mis-
sions, they propose union not on a
basis of compromise, but of compre-
henSion. Following this conference
the leaders of these two bodies in
vited the Reformed Syrian Church of
South India to consider uniting with
them.
A cable message has reached me
that the General Assembly of the
South India United Church has ap-
proved of the plan for union. Com
ing through London, the writer saw
the Archbishop of Canterbury and
other leaders of the Church of Eng
land, who were deeply interested and
most sympathetic toward this re-
markable movement of union upor
the mission field.
1t has been the unbroken tradition
of the Syrian Church of India that it
was founded by the Apostle Thomas
in 50 AID. A large immigration OF
syrian CHRISTIANS later arrived in Ira
vancort in 345 AID. In $50 AID. King
Alfred of England sent ambassadors
with gifts to this church. For cen
turies the church has maintained it's
existence in spite of persecution. Aft
er two of their bishops had been
10000 of these prosecuted
Syrians assembled around the his
toric Coonen cross and, taking hold
of ropes attached to the cross. took a
solemn oath that they would resist
the inquisition and stand for the
freedom of their faith During the
last century they have been quick
ened to new life. This Syrian Church
has been thoroughly reformed, and
has returned to the ideal of it's early
simplicity. 1t has a mar
ried priesthood, an open Bible, a sim
pie and vital faith, and is maintain
ing active and efficient missionary
work in other parts of India. Bishop
Abraham was educated in Wyscliffe
College, Toronto, and no church has
a more devout and spiritual leader
ship.
The coming together of these three
upon the mission field would
unite in one body the converts of the
mission work of England, Scotland
ard America The Anglicans would
contribute the strength and world
of the western church
the Syrians would bring their loyalty
to primitive, apostolic tradition, while

HIGH PRICES

TT HE prices still higher than any thrifty
/ buyer can meet without sigh; and when I
make payment for groceries or raiment, think
I'd like to die. To my meager dollars l wilt
down many collars, and toll like old Sam Hill;
what wonder I'm disguised if week-ends find
busted when I have paid my bill? They say we
ought to pickle the dime and groat the nickle,
against a rainy day; but when we've paid the baker
and squared the undertaken there's naught to put
away. 1 stand around doggoning; my savings bank
is yawnng, there nickels there; in spite of
all endeavor it seems that I will have fifty
cents to spare. When I have paid the grocer the
wolf seems that much closer to my cheap cottage
door; when l have paid the halter l feel it would
not matter if l should breathe When l
have paid the shoeman say No being human could
stand the stress and strain; when have paid the
plumber, his bill, which is hummer, gives me an
oblong pain. And yet we keep striving, still hus
Ting, still surviving, and hope to see the day when
may heed the sages, and take from his
wages to put in brine away
clap trap the irresponsible uterances of unduly
excited minds the heat of debate The suggestion that
either the president any officially associated with
him could have been guilty of giving out the copies
said to be in New York is utterly unworthy of
consideration No person completely in the
public eye as they would even, if he had con-
science whatsoever, dc thing palpably suicidal;
this phase of the matter may well be
dismissed from mind at once. However, since state
ments have been made that copies of the treaty in
the hands of unauthorized persons in this country the
facts as to how they were obtained should be established
IN justice to all concerned. There obviously rany
ways other than the absurd which has been suggest
ed, in which those copies may have been obtained The
people of the country have right to know and will
insist upon knowing the facts.

THE TREATY LEAK

In the course of violent debate in the senate last
week concerning the alleged leak through which the
peace treaty has into the possession of certain
special interests in New York. Senator Lodge de-
scrbed the treaty text he had seen as follows;
" THAT copy had an opportunity to examine, at
least article Of it. The of the treaty POS
folio pages The whole treaty French and English
covers Ais pages. The only part that l acquired any
sort of familiarity with article the end which
seemed to be sort of addendum to the body of the
treaty with Germany because it had nothing to do with
the peace with Germany. This established at great
length think long as the league of nations art-
cea great and permanent organization for the inter
naturalization of labor, very interesting article"
Senator Lodge said further that at would be gross
breach of faith my part to state the of the
two gentlemen, who friends of mine, who told me
they had copes The senator also made the statement
that he had been offered copy of the treaty take
back to Washington with him but that he lad re-
fused it because he felt that he could not have copy
IN lis possession while other senators dered it.
He further said that the gentleman who had showed
him the treaty had connection whatever with the
special interests" mentioned by Senator Borah
Now all this indicates curiousy tangled situation
1t is difficult to why the senator from Massachu
sets and the senator from Idaho made such conflicting
statements on what is presumably the same body of
information Senator Borah spoke clearly of Especial
interests" in New York which had been furnished copies
of the treaty; Senator Lodge makes disclaimer of
limiting any such thing he will not 60 beyond the mere
statement that there are copies in New York
What the country wants to know is facts 1t is
unquestionaby true that in some manner which is not
easily expainable number of copies of the proposed
treaty have gotten into the hands of private individuals
in various parts of the world particularly in neutral
countries. This indicates bad management somewhere
and it smacks of unfaness to the people of this country
and particularly the United States senate in view of
its constitutional treaty making powers however it does
not of ITSELF show that there has been negligence or
improper conduct of any kind on the part of our Off
cal representatives either here or abroad and anv

We often talk glbly of characterization" without
realizing it's deepest implications. The word has become,
Secretary Morrison suggests meaningless shibbo-
leth catchword, which repeat repeat many
other words of large meaning in current use, thought
lessly and carelessly. Doubtless really mean by
Characterization" the giving of American atmos
phere and American education to foreign born
and their children. But do do this? Have really
ourselves earnestly this vast and delicate task?
We must remember too that before we really ed
ucate foreign-born into the belief that ins
tutons not instruments of oppression but gates
liberty and happiness shall have to engage in other
tasks for the ameoration of social conditions better
housing conditions for workers. the elimination of rent
and food profiteerng and general welfare of
many other kinds Then too must have stringent
educational propaganda to counterfeit the false propa
ganda of the radical press which speaks the foreigner
in his tongue. This press engaged in unremit-
ting effort convince its readers that the
of the United States is but another huge machine de-
signed for the exploitation of the poor for the benefit of
the rich Let the foreign born know something of
history of the elasticity of system of laws of the
opportunities for social improvement through the order
ly course of law, and these agitators will have small
scope for the dissemination of their propaganda.
One of the duties of Amercanization work which
is urgently needed the present time is to show the
foreigners how social wrong may be rghted without

of legislation by the of the ballot We must
member that these people have been used to a life of
oppression and exploitation in their countries;
they used to thinking of government as channel
of injustice The propagandsts of unrest who preach
to them here tell them that our government is not unlike
the others 1t is the business of Americanzation
of protection from these dangerous outbreaks
but above all it to them to correct the
implanted in their warped and ignorant minds by men
who tire of preaching lies about our history and
institutions.
