ORGANIZED IN CHINA.

DR.. Ralph A. Ward, associate secre-
tary OF the board OF foreign missions
of the Methodist church, and who
aided in the Interchurch World
Movement Survey in China said when
in Des Moines, this week that the
movement will benefit China in three
different ways.
First, he says, "the movement
has been organized in China under
the name Of China for Christ Move
ment' and is rapidly gaining head
way.
I'm the larger cities in that coun-
try the different denominations have
formed a federation which is carry
ing out ideas of the movement, In
terchurch will also bring this feder-
alton closer together.
"A third manner in which the
movements can and is benefiting
China is in the way of the spreading
of higher literature, land to bring
China greater commercial advan.
tages.
China has only one large univers-
ity and students must come from the
distant eastern provinces and from
western provinces to attend this one
large center of learning.
1.-THE Interchurch Movement will
doubtless bring satisfactory finan-
cial help to the brethren in China
and will eventually mean more and
better universities and colleges,
where natives can be taught to
spread the Gospel among their own
people"

churches should honestly face this
fact. In short, the whole process is
that the whole church shall face the
whole facts Of the whole world s
needs.
81 Acting on the facts. 1t pro.
poses, after a careful study OF these
| facts, that program shall be de-
duced with ways and means to carry
out the lessons learned by this col
iective study, moving along those
lines about which the churches all
agree.
THIRD: The PRONUNCIATION to all
the people of the facts and the plans.
BY every legitimate means, such as
mass meetings, educational methods,
publicity and literature, it will be at.
tempted to turn these facts into
flesh and blood that will live them
out in the daily processes of life. SO
we may classify this Movement under
three groups or agencies:
(1) The Survey Department, which
secures the facts.
(2) The Detectives and Educa.
tional Departments which study the
facts
(3) The PRONUNCIATION Groups or
Field Department which disseminates
the facts.
This Interchurch World Move
ment becomes the medium Of the
cooperating denominations through
which they may function in pro.
gram OF international team work.
This Interchurch World Move.
ment approaches humanity with the
invitation Let us reason together
Let us listen as we'll as shout,
LET us be willing to follow the will
of the Universal Mind when it is re.
vealed in the hearts of men" LET
us rise above ,selfshness and forget
our prejudices and follow the Living
Truth. This Movement believes
that the ideals of Jesus offer the solu-
ton Of human ills. 1t believes these
ideals are practical and present the
real basis of all ultimate social re-
lationships
All thinking people realize that the
program of Jesus Christ, if pressed
to it's fulfllment, comprehends a
much wider basis of life than yet
put into operation by the churches.
1t is in precisely this forward march
that the churches must lead us in
the present universal quest which
is to bring on the Kingdom Of God
among men. AS Jesus gave His life
for others. the church is being called
to reproduce this law of life today.
The issue is so tremendous that un-
der it the churches of America will
make or break in a comparatively
short time.
This Movement is vastly more
than an ordinary religious compaign.
1t is proposing to face all life with
the ideals of Jesus. Politics, indus
try, capital and religion must be
made Christian.
In the last analysis the Interchurch
World Movement is a great spirit,
who is eager to be clothed in flesh
and blood and walk among men. turn
ing their faces to the future, instill-
ing right, breathing hope and lend
ing courage. No nation in history
ever had such an opportunity as is
presented to this country at this
time. and the fight is on to see
Christ or Mammon shall |
win.
We won the great physical COM
bat in the great world war for ideal
ism, but we are how facing a more
serious battle between the spiritual
and the materialistic philosophy of I
life. II the churches can win over
both themselves and the public, they
will go long way to heal the broken
world and inspire humanity to live
the ''life abundant.

The Legion hall continues to grow
in popularity. Now that there is
some place "to while away the time. .
besides loafng in the pool room or
standing ON the street corners, the
boys are taking advantage of it. II
the local post had accomplished moth
ing more during the year that is now
drawing to a close than fitting up its
quarters as a: decent place where the
boys can spend their evenings read
ings or in recreation, this would have
justified it's organization. But we
believe that its influence in the COM
munity has been felt in other ways.
