SHALL EUROPE TURN BACK
INTO HEATHENDOM?

Shall Europe sink back into hea-
thendom? That is the question which
the National Lutheran Council is
pressing home on the Lutherans of
America at present.
No only Lutheran leaders but Prot
estants in general are viewing the
religious situation of Europe with
alarm. From the Rhine eastward, the
institutions of the past have been
swept away on the high tide of revo-
luton. While these revolutions were
primarily directed against autocratic
states they have involved every in
terest connected with these states.
The state church has been one of these.
In the measure that many preachers
were in the past spokesman for the
state, the church today comes in for
the hatred Of the masses against the
former institution.
The National Lutheran Council is
in receipt of reports indicating how
widespread and bitter is this feeling.
In many cases it has resorted to vi
olence. Only recently seven Lutheran
pastors were killed in Finland by the
Reds. Many churches have been burn
ed. In places public demonstrations
were held against religion.
1t is known that the leaders as we'll
as the rank and file in the revolu-
tionary movements are atheistic and
frequently use every opportunity to
fight religion.
The situation is made acute by the
fact that European churches were
state churches, managed by the au-
liberties and maintained by taxation.
This condition initiated against the
growth of a strong, vigorous, self-re-
liant church-life. 1t weakened inter-
est and confidence. Today state aid
is withdrawn. The former states
have disappeared. There is no orga-
nization and funds are lacking and
Bolshevism is reaching out to deal the
death blow.
Sincere church men in the affected
countries are looking to America fol
guidance and assistance. They fee
that the American system OF indie
pendent churches in a free state is
the solution to their problem.
American Professionals are prepar
ing to meet the situation as far al
possible. Fourteen denominations ar
conducting reconstruction service cam
paigns during February. Part of tn
funds are intended to save the Prot
estantism of Europe from extinction
The American Lutheran church i
especially anxious to do its part be
cause the Professionalism of c%ontinen
tai Europe is practically entirely Lu
theran. The National Lutheran coun
Gil was organized especially for thi
overseas service. 1t is sending com
missions to Europe to view the sit
uation at first hand. In the mean
time it is raising half a million do
lars to be ready for any emergency
The campaign is set for February II
26. Headquarters are opened in Me-
York with Rev. w. H. Greever, Re,
O. H. Pannkoke and Rev. G. L. Kie1

LET ALL SIDES BE REASONABLE
Some economists write as though
wages were the only thing worth con-
sidering.
Plenty of employment and steady
employment are also matters worth
considering.
Industries and a market for the
product are often items that labor
%agitators overlook.
Conditions under which American
industries can be kept going are not
to be ignored.
The fact is radicalism on either side
makes industrial development diff
cult.
Sometimes half a loaf for employ
ers and employees is better than no
bread at all.

Drama a
''The Challenge" by Eugene
Walter, Seen at Selwyn
Theatre
By Haywood Broun

Eugene Walters new play, "The
Challenge" is timely and interesting,
but it would be more timely and more
interesting if it were not so mon
strously muddled. The hero is a
young Socialist who manages a vic
torious campaign in his state. His
best friend, a conservative, thereupon
sets the victory at nought by bribing
succeeded in electing. Mr.. Walter
seems to feel this proves that rad
icalism is wrong, and the young So
cialist apparently accepts that judg-
ment, for he marries the heavy -witted
sister of the conservative and lives
happily ever after.
Of course, the implication of the
play would seem to lend strength to
that small body of extremists who say
that there is no use in voting, any
how, because the workers always get
cheated. We don't believe Mr.. Walter
meant his play to cut that way.
he has tried to play fair The most
interesting character in the play is the
young Socialist and the best acting is
done in this part by Allan Dinehart.
Both the conservative and che radical
are allowed an equal number of propa-
ganda speeches, and so the balance is
kept pretty even, although the radical
is converted in the end. We must
admit that we turned against the con-
servative early in the evening, when he
came into his newspaper office in
high hat and ordered one of his re-
porters to take message down to his
chauffeur Later the same reporter
was carrying love letters for the man.

be varied.
We were also very much prejudiced
against the forces of law and order
because of the conservatives heavy
witted sister, the heroine, who went
about saying, "Of course, we'll never
understand that; things like that are
for the men to decide" and supple
menting other equally silly speeches
with, "That's the woman of it,"
The play was interesting because it
proved that it was possible to hold
the attention of an audience with ideas
which are not concerned with merely
traditional romance. The love story
of the play is entirely incidental and
unnecessary. On account of the late
hour of closing it will be necessary to
withhold more extended comment on
the play for later date.
Good performances were given by
Holbrook Blinn, Allan Dinehart and
Jessie Glendenning, in spite of the
thankless nature of her role.
