 The World Wide movement has taken a wholly unlocked for aspect for relief of the suffering of the world. There is battle on between constructive Christianity and world ruled by bolshevism and destruction; but as when Rome burned there are those that sit by and fiddle. In Christianity lies the solution of this unrest. 4 bolsheyist leader once said that he Knew that Christ was the so- lution but said the church did not represent Christ. I do not believe this but there is certain lack of en- thusiasm in the church. There is more to Christianity than the building of fine churches and costly accessories to worship. Christ did not build fine churches, he washed his disciples feet. This was service to his fellow man and it is this example that we should follow. Many of us are re- sponsible for the Red Peril that threatens us for we have not realized Christ's lesson and tried to help. these people see the truth We are shown by desperate deeds that we should have taught these people to live as Christ lived. By doing as Christ has done by us we may cast out the spirit of selfshness. When we have done as Christ taught us then shall we have peace and happiness on e4kth.

NEW MILFORD RECTOR LENTElV PREACHER

The first of the united Lenten ser-- vice of Christ and Trinity Episcopal churches was held on Thursday even ing at Christ church. After the read ing of the lessons by Rev. R. R. Gra- ham, rector of Christ church, Rev. JolA0 F Plumb. rector of St. John s church, New Milford, delivered the lenten address. Rev. Mir. Plumb took his text from St. John; 13 3-21, the story of Christ washing his disciples feet before the last supper. Rev. MT. Plumb said in part:
 Long years passed since the time of the last supper and the writing of the scripture by St. John but he has graphically and understandings de- scrfbed the scene. Christ washing the feet of the disciples and saying to them: If then, the Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, ye al- so ought to wash one another's feet. For have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you" From this example we learn that service to our fellow man is one of the greatest things in the Chfis- tian faith. Do we understand this or do we think that if we live solely for ourselves doing right but not helping the other man is all that is asked of us. When a person comes to realize that Christianity is not only living for himseh but means shelpins others, what change comes into the life of
