STOCKHOLM. Sweden. December II.
If the league of nations breaks upon
the rocks Of racial hatreds and inter
national jealousies perhaps its place
may be taken by n far-fiung organ
ization Of Christian churches. Today
have talked with man who sincere
ly believes that the worlds peace
would be safeguarded by such an or
ganization. His endeavors to bring
about a great worldwide union Of
Christians of all churches are un-
ceasing.
Archbishop Nathan Soderblom of
Upsala, Sweden, undoubtedly stands
foremost in this movement in this
part Of the world. He is backed in
the work by 80 per cent of the
Swedish people and the same proper
ton of Christians in the other Scan
-dinavian countries as well as by large
Number of church organizations in
England and America. He realizes
that it is impossible in this day to
bring about a union of all the
churches. including the Catholic. but
he hopes by his work to lay the
foundation of an organization which
a century hence will have a strong
voice in all national or international
questions involving moral or social
problems.
Great Incentive During War.
ct is not necessary to go back to
the origin of this alliance for promot-
ing international friendship through
the church." said Archbishop Sober
blom- Our work in this direction
had a great incentive during the war.
for we realized the need of the unity
Of all true believers, ana eventually
it will come. Our plan does not aim
to bring the various organizations to-
gether. but to unite hearts. minds and
endeavors. Uniformity OF belief Is
not necessary for common preaching
and striving and there is no need
therefore of an appeal to break down
the barriers Of creed or sect. 1t calls
only for unity upon the fundamental
basis of Christianity.
Heretofore Christian thought has
had no place in the modern relations
between the states, but with an in
ternational organization our voice
will be sufficiently strong to gain an
audience in all the council chambers,
where 1t would ever act in the cause
of right and humanity. One common
voice must be created for the Chris
tan conscience and one council must
represent the spiritual world. hope
that at next years conference there
will be representatives from all parts
of the world. Then we can proceed
with the plans formulated in the
meeting Of representatives of various
neutral states during the war"
My visit with the archbishop i'm
pressed me forcibly with the strength
of this tendency toward the unifcation
of Christians. 1 have heard the same
theory expounded by American doc
tors of theology, but their logic was
too involved and too weighty to

ing exposition unnecessary. His
power undoubtedly comes from people
who are more united in the sincere

the faith unchanged and Interchangeable.
During my visit Archbishop Sober
blom helped in the final work Of pre-
pairing a train load of provisions for
the children of Austria and Czecno-
slovakia. His home has been trans
formed into a receiving depot for the
Upsala district and is the mecca for
a continual stream of people of all
sorts bringing packages and boxes
of food and clothing. Through his
efforts Sweden this year is making
the same effort as America made in

children.
Frequently I heard in the gathering
in the archbishop's home mention
made of the Swedish churches in
America, their work and their power
for good and especially with regard
to the work of the Augustana College
at Rock Island, Ill. There are many
strong ties between America and
Sweden, but it is doubtful If any com
mercial or economic bond wields quite
the same influence as that of religion,
which on this side finds in Archbishop
Soderblom a strong and courageous
leader.

deavor to increase the supply OF
water. An electric generator has
been installed and five electrically
driven deep vel pumps are lifting
the water to the surface, one new

the result is that the plant is pro-

the volume Of water being produced
At the present time the plant is pro-

day, but the board is getting re-
turns on only 100000 gallons; in
other words there is a daily wastage
of 100000 gallons Of water. Mr.
