Sane and Safe Democracy

The only hope for a sane
democracy in this country is the
ideals of the Puritans," declared
Rev. W. II, Layton in opening
his sermon on THE Only Basis
for a Sane Democracy aud World
Wide Peace" at the Methodist
church last Sunday night. "A
Puritan conscience; a Puritan
faith in God: a Puritan obedience
to Bible commandments; Puritan
sense of honor and justice between
man and man-these with other
Puritan political, moral and
religious virtues are the only basis
on which ever can be built a sane
and safe democracy" be said.
The great world war that has
lust come to a close will not end
wars as many seem to think.
Wars will continue to curse the
earth until the cause of wars has
been removed. The huge fund
that has been raised to promote
peace will have no more effect on
world peace than the beautiful
peace palace at the Hague has. 1t
would not do to beat the sword
into plow shares when there is a
mob ready to throw rocks at the
man who would undertake to use
the plow."
After making many fine points
and clinching them with passages
of scripture, came the crux of the
whole discourse,
And now if we are going to
accomplish our God-given nilsson
we must
First-Christianize our con-
oeption of God. 1t must begin
aud end in Jesus Christ. The
name God has been robbed and
emptied of its Christian signif-
,ance.
"Second-We must Christianize
,ur conception of nationality. We
must go to Christ for our thought
noulds of race and nationality.
"Third-We must Christianize
'ur conception of politics. Politics
must be a lofty crusade rather
han a low scramble, Christ is to
ule.
"Fourth-We must Christlanize
ur conception of life. Life in
tead of being collection of things
1ust be a set of relations-it must
e a realm of being rather than a
calm of having" '
1t was an able and eloquent Z.

Paints Most Dreary
Picture Stage Life
Associated Press

LONDON, April "a dark picture
of life on the stage was drawn by
Miss Muriel Pratt, well-known Lon
don actress, in a speech the other
day.
"The discomfort of THEATRE she
said, even in the West-end, if one is
lucky enough to have a star dress
ing-room, is extraordinarily disagree
able. The draughts from the theatre
the coldness in winter, the heat in
summer, and the entire lack of any
form of comfort even in the great
city of London, would be enough
to deter most people, even if they
knew it beforehand, from going on
the stage.
''In the provinces it is fifty times,
worse, and the music-halls are in
describably uncomfortable. They are
dirty, they are cold, there is abso-
luteiy no comfort of any kind. The
journeys are bad, and one spent most
of ones time waiting about cold sta
tions. 1t is impossible to get food,
end the whole of the life of the
stage, even to people who can raise
protests and do their best to help
themselves, is painful and horrible. y
