GERMAN GOVERNMENT NOT ANY TOO STRONG
If Present Administration Fails, Only Radical Sociahstic Movement
 Is Possible.

Paris, April , (By the Associated Press) The former Berlin cores pondent of the Associated Press, re- turning to Paris after six weeks devoted to Q study of conditions in Germany left that country with the distinct impression that the tenure of the present coalition government was by no means secure, although it is for the moment in control of the situation; that no alternative except a radical socialist administration with a strong drift toward a Soviet re- public is possible if the present gov ernnlent fails; that q renewal of Spartacan activities against the pres ent regime by further strikes and up risings is almost certain; that al- though the great mass of people are opposed to a BolshcYik government. they can count only on the compara- lively small force of Noske volunteer troops to keep down this jnsurrec- tiOnary movement. the masses at present being politically too apath etic to give more than passive support in an emergency: that while the Noske troops have been able to handle the Spartacan insurgents so long as they can take sectional uprisings in turn success would be difficult if the SpartaCans and their independent socialist allies should be able to stage a really general strike and insurrec- ton.
 If the Spartacan leadership is not able to organize such a widespread movement the government probably will be able to maintain itself until peace is signed

WHAT'S YOUR DEFTNI-
NTTION OF RELIGION
BY THE REV, CHARLES srELzLE.

BY THE REV, CHARLES srELZLE
STAN Writer on Religious Topics.
Pure religion and undefled be-
fore God and the Father is this: To
visit the fatherless and widows in
their affection"
And there's where most OF us
stop. and talk about the lodge and
the labor union being as good a.
the church. because these are en-
gagged in benevolent work-and, oh
yes, hey have prayers-sometim
and mention God in their ritu-
ais
The lodge has enough religion
to suit me"-you've heard it.
Tn a lodge man, too, and believe
in it and a man has a right to saw
that lodge" religion is good
enough for him.
He has the right but II he means
II, he has caught only the nrst
glimmertngs Of religion.
Now let's come back to that QUO
tauon taken from James:
Pure religion and undefIed be-
fore God and the Father is this, To
visit the fatherless and widows in
their aff1iction-"
And-"te keep himself unspotted
from the world"
It's the combipation of the open
hand and the pure heart that con-
sttutes religion-and nothing short
OF 1t is really vital.
It's amusing to see a crowd of
rather decent fellows chip in once
in a great while to help out poor
widow with a family of children
and they'll go away feeling mighty
good about it
sure-that's all fine.
But they fool themselves when
they think that they've put il over
the regular" religious folk. whose
personal day by day philanthropy.
done without blowing of trumpets
or posting in bulletins or printing
in newspapers, goes on all the time.
And-''tO keep himself unspottsd
from the world"
This means a pure heart and n
clean life-without which no man
can see God.
Here's further test of the value
OF mere philanthropy:
Though 1 bestow all my goods
to feed the poor. and though l give
my body to be burned. and have not
love. 1t prohteth me nothing"
And what is meant by "love?"
The thirteenth chapter of first
Corinthians tehs US:
Love surferoth long and is kind.
Love envieth not itself, is not
pufYed up, does not behave itself
unseemly, secketh not her own. is
not easily provoked, thinketh no
evil, rejoiceth not in iniuqity, bear
eth all things, believeth all things.
hopeth all things, cndureth all
things.
And--to keep himself unspotted
from the world"-that's,l S, love.
