PARIS, Feb. 1.-The usual plenary
session was postponed today to per-
init the peace bureau to speed up
action on the framework for the
league of nations.
The belief was expressed in GER
tain quarters that demonstration OF
the practicability of the league. as
evinced in several recent decisions by
the bureau, would hasten agreement
on the details of its makeup. The
German colonial question was vir-
tually settled in accordance with
principles Of the league. Previously.
the bureau had acted in the capacity
of an association of nations in warm
ing central and eastern European
countries to cease. warning over dis
puted territories. The bureau as
sumed a similar capacity yesterday
when it decided to send delegates to
straighten out the argument between
the Czechs and the Poles over pos
session of that rich industrial dis
trict.
A queer angle has developed in the
relations of the Czechs and Poles in
that their representatives are sit
ting at the same peace conference to
arrange a treaty with a common
enemy, yet there are outbursts OF
fighting between their own troops
over the question of readjustments
of their own new boundaries. A tenn

DIR. George H. Parkinson, preached
at II O'Clock, an unusually strong
sermon, to a large congregation. The
text was, blessed are your eyes for
they see." The speaker declared that
vital question was, "What do they
see?" When people look at the same
thing they see different things. One
man looks down and sees weed and
immediately pulls it up. Another
looks in the same direction and sees
a daisy Bobby Burns looks in the
same direction and sees a poem.
One set of people look out over the
world and see that because the world
is in need of everything there is
chance to make money and acts ac-
cordingly. The Methodist Centenary
looks at the same world and sees a
great need, and opportunity to help
the world and proposes to pour out its
wealth to that end
On Sunday evening, the pastor
preached from the text, "And the door

Of the parable of the ten virgins did
