BLAMES BRITISH
FOR ALOOFNESS
New Zealand Commissioner
Contrasts People With
Americans.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-The average
Englishman's aIoofness is contrasted
unfavorably with the haf-fellow-
well-met manner of the average
American by Sir Thomas MacKen-
zie, high commissioner for New Zea-
land, who is planning to found in
the heart OF London what he calls
a great imperial and social club for
visitors from the dominions.
THE Englishman's heart is good.
and his friendship, when you have
once got il, is warm and invalu-
able" said Sir Thomas, in an inter
view with the Daily Graphic: but
you have to overcome the formality
first. This aloofness, L know. is do
ing harm Colonial visitors to Lon
don find themselves lonely and
friendless.
Years ago 1 set out TO find my
own friends in London; it was hope
less. I got tired and went to the
United States, where I found the
Americans friendly and homely, and
have never forgotten il. II is much
the same today. The various socie-
ties and clubs here do good work.
but the right spirit is missing some
how"
The proposal is TO get wealthy
.colonials TO endow a $1,000 600 fund
for a social center with 500 bed
rooms, a restaurant and rooms for
receiving, entertaining and business.

SAYS DOLLAR SIGN
SUPPLANTS CROSS
AT PRESENT TIME
Rev. Charles II. Lesson Gives
Interesting Sermon AT
Stull NJ. Z.

Rev. Charles II. Lesson, Of the
Stull Memorial church, spoke on the
subject, Has Christianity Failed p
Sunday evening, taking his text from
the book Of Psalms.
Jehovah saith unto my Lord, sit
thou AT my right hand, until 1 make
they enemies of truth and right
hasten to become Thy footstooL"
Rev. Lesson said in part:
If ever the enemies of truth and
right hasten to become the foot
stool of Christ. II is in these days of
reconstruction. Many said chris
tianity had failed, because there was
a world war. 1t was not the teach
ings Of Christ that failed, but a dis
torted notion Of christianity. 1t was
materialistic philosophy of life,
an aggressive autocracy, a pagan
trust in power as the supreme good.
the denial Of the claims Of human
brotherhood that failed
Supplants Cross.
''The dollar sign has supplanted
the sign Of the cross and the theory
that might is right challenged the
spiritual forces Of christianity. The
attack failed and the spiritual forces
are now entering upon an inter-
world campaign Of good will.
"Just as the evil Of influenza
comes from Afghanistan, a small
nation unvisited by christian mis-
sionaries, who are the advance
agents Of international good will, so
the miaza of selfishness and lust for
power. must be blotted out before
the world is safe for men and wo-
men.
"Bosset wrote, When God rubs
out it is because He is beginning TO
write He is rubbing out old ideals
customs conditions, inequalities, un-
fair dealings, and in their places He
is writing justice, equity, truth and
brotherhood. The world Of tomor-
row stands for the free action Of
1 God in every mans life.
Tokens of New Fra.
/ Already there are tokens of the
arrival of this new era. Prohibition,
equal suffrage. the new status Of
women and children in industry
partnership of labor and capital and
the generosity of humanity. These
new ideas seek expression in all
lands and yet how little the world is
prepared TO preserve them. More
than half Of the world has distorted
notions OF christianity and the basic
elements of civilization.
What Liberty Means.
/ Liberty means more than the
right to do as you please. II is the
right to life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness. Ii means a govern
ment of the people. by the people.
and for the people. II means chris
tian homes. schools. churches and
kindred institutions.
The christianity Of Jesus must
underwrite these ideals to insure
the worlds peace, happiness, and
good will" he concluded.
