the leagues opponents continue their

The first feeling, Senator Poindexter
said, was due to the leagues friends, in
Guiding President Wilson, having given
the impression that if the United States
becomes member it will not have to go
TO war any more.
Mr.. Poindexter said he had read in a
western newspaper this propaganda plan

James church Berm0ndsey, renowned
as the church where they marry you
for seven shillings and seven pence
($lS2), has found il difficult to get a
congregation on Sunday evenings
for some time past. He has appealed
TO his parishioners for frank sugges
tions as to the ways in which the Sun
day evening service could be made
more popular and helpful He received
some unexpected replies.
Quite large number of people adj
vocated that part of the church should
be reserved for smokers. Some OF these
suggested that whore the pipe cannot
be admitted the male will not 90.
Another wanted to know why q les
son should always be read out of the
Old Testament and suggested that it
could be more proftably read from one
of Carlyle or Ruskin S works. Some
wanted topical subjects, while other.
asked for a course in economics, ethics
or philosophy.
Another suggested the turning of the
church into a cinema. He was politely
reminded Of the Media for which th,
church stands
