even wished he could stop breathing.

THINKS NATI0NS' LEAGUE
ESSENTIALLY CHRISTIAN
Lambeth Conference of Anglican
Church Urges the Early Ad-
mission of Germany.

LONDON, August 13.-Emphatic in
dorsement of the league of nations as
essentially Christian" was given by the
recent Lambeth conference of the An
elican Church, which was attended by
bishops and archbishops from all parts
of the world, according to an official re-
port on the work of the conference is
sued today 1t was urged that the peace
of the world. no less than Christian
principles demand the admission of Ger
many and other nations into the league
at the earliest possible time.
Concern was expressed by the con-
ference over the disease and distress
prevailing in large parts of Europe and
Asia. The bishops called for energetic
action for relief.
A resolution of deep interest in
the prohibition movement was adopted.
in which the action of the United States
and Canada was commended Ito the
earnest and sympathetic attention of the
Christian church throughout the world"
Another resolution affirmed lifelong
;ndissoluble marriage as the Christian
principle and standard, though allowing
a national church to make special pro-
vision when the ground on which dis
solution is sought is adultery.

STRANGE Voices Are Heard.
Who has a home will wisely stay
And never, never rum away.

Who has a home will wisely stay
And never, never run away.
Peter Rabbit
The lost little son of Peter Rabbit
sat Just inside the doorway of the
strange house in which he had found
shelter and wished all sorts of foolish
wishes. He wished he hadn't walked.
He wished that he could have kept on
sleeping forever. He wished he were
a giant so that he needn't fear any
thing. But most of all he wished he
hadn't disobeyed his mother and left
the dear Old Briar-patch. That wish
wasn't foolish.
Now all this time that little Bunny
didn't know whether or not any one
lived in that house where he had
found shelter. He rather thought that
no one did. That doorway didn't look
as if it had been used for long time.
The hall leading down from it didn't
look as if it had been used for long
time In fact. the looks of the place
reminded him very much of the old
house in the middle of the dear Old
Briar-patch. the one dug long ago by
the grandfather of Johnny Chuck.
IT don't believe any one lives here, +"
said the lone little Rabbit, talking to
himself, because there was no one else
to talk to and because, somehow. it
helped little to make him feel less
lonesome. IF nobody does l will keep
it for my home if 1 can't get back

to the dear Old Briar- patch. Perhaps
some day my father will come along,
and if he finds me living in a fine
house he will be proud of me for get
ting along SO well in the Great
World"
The more he thought of this idea
the more he liked~it. and for little
while forgot that he was lost, lone
some and afraid. He began to feel
quite important, as becomes one who
has a house of his own. This led him
to think that he would like to know
all about that house. So he turned
and started down the long, dark hall
The further he went the darker it
became. 1t became rather scary. He
would go forward step or two, then
stop to listen. He didn't know what
he was listening for, but he just had
to listen.
Further and further down the long
hall he crept. Nothing happened and
