THE INTER-CHURCH
WORLD MOVEMENT

q.
For the first time in the history of
the Protestant church, seventy Of the
great, denominations have united in a
campaign for the upbuilding of the
Kingdom of God, and have launched
a movement that will have pnheard-of
effects on the religious life of Amer
ica-effects that will be felt to the ut
ternost parts of the earth.
The great war has thrown down a
challenge to the church and to the
Christian people, and the Inter-church
Movement is the response to that
challenge. Life, today, means not a
capacity to "eat, drink and be merry,
but the conservation of our hearts,
through service, to the cause of hui
manity.
Never before has there been a
greater demonstration of the power
of religion over the minds and hearts
of men than the world has seen dur
ing the past five awful years, and the
Inter-church Movement bringing to
the religious life of the nation that
strength that comes from union, will
not only exert a wonderful influence
at home, but will be of giving needed
spiritual uplift to the newly formed
nations of the old world that will lead
them on to a safe and sane democracy.
April 25th to May LIST, simultaneous
ly over the length and breadth of the
United States, vast army of conse-
Grated men and women will go out on
campaign to raise $366,777, 572, the
greatest public asking" the world
has ever known. Not only are church
members to be approached for contri-
buttons to this great cause, but peo-
pie outside of the denominations, peo-
pie who, for various reasons, are i'm
patient of UNCONVENTIONAL influence,
who are known as the friendly
group" are to be given an opportun-
| ity to have part in this great cam
paign. When we realize the giving Of
the church members in this country
to the cause Of Christian religion av-
erages but three cents a Sunday, we
marvel that the great purposes of the
church-Missions, Education, Minis
terial Relief, Hospitals and all the be-
nevolences that make up our Chris
tian program have prospered as they
have. And if the work has been car
ried on with such meager support,
how stupendous must be the results
when we are all united in a common
program with a common object of
love and service-a program that will
lead US on to victory for Christ.
The surveys already made, both in
foreign countries and in the 10000
counties of our own country, show the
great need there is for intensifying
the religious life of every community,
for more fervent devotion to Christian
education, for renewed conservation
of the minds and hearts of men to the
teachings of Jesus Christ. 1t is found
| in the cities and communities that
have been surveyed, that an alarming
proportion of the people are entirely
without church affiliations. We are
appalled, when we hear of people in

FARM ALCOHOL FOR YOUR CAR

The supply and demand of gasoline
has reached point where the experts
must look about for other fuels for
automobiles. Gasoline is rapidly be-
coming luxury, with luxury price.
And kerosene, the common coal oil OF
our youth, offers on easy road out of
the dilemma. Kerosene has doubled
in price since the war, and if consid-
cradle number of auto engines were
made to burn this product, it would
soon soar to prices higher even than
gasoline.
Some of the experts are talking
about fuel oil, the refined residue af-
ter the gasoline has been removed.
But here again we are up against it;
all products of petroleum are going
higher and higher. We see that in the
steadily increasing price of crude oil
today.
The far-sighted, however, are
strongly considering alcohol. That is
a fuel, the supply of which can be
made inexhaustible forever-anyhow
as long as the sun shines and the rain
falls and the soil continues fertile.
The main thing is to invent extraction
processes that will produce it cheap
ly. Then all the scrap of the farm,
as well as cultivated vegetation, can
be thrown into the vat and made to
give up its alcohol.
The automobile, the tractor and the
truck are as important to the rural
districts as is the motor to the city.
In some of our farming States, they
are of much higher importance. It
will be a great day when the farmer
can "raise" his own alcohol for 10 to
Is cents per gallon and have motor
vehicles, the engines of which-car-
buretors and cylinders-are built es-
pecially for the use of alcohol as a
fuel.

THE PEACE RESOLUTION

In adopting resolution declaring
war with Germany at an end, the Ma
tional House of Representative acted
contrary to the Constitution. The
Constitution is very plain as to the
means of making peace. 1t gives to
the whole Congress the right to de-
clare war, but peace is brought about
by treaty negotiated by the President,
by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate.
If an examination Of the Constitu-
ton is not sufficient to convince the
members Of Congress that war cannot
be ended by mere resolution of
peace, without treaty, study of the
arguments and voting during the
adoption of the Constitution should
be conclusive. Madison's Journal of
the Constitutional Convention gives
these interesting facts: n
"A motion was made to give Con-
gress, the ity of the Senate the power
to ratify treaties of peace. But an
amendment excepting treaties Of
peace from the two-third rule was vot-
ed down. Georgia, Maryland and
South Carolina were the only States
voting for the amendment.
"There was also an attempt to give
the House of Representatives, as well
as the Senate-both law-making bod
ies--a hand in making peace. A pro-
vision was presented that all treaties
be ratified by law, The vote against
this was unanimous.
"a motion was madet 0 give Con-
gress the power of peace, as they
were to have that Of war The states
voted unanimously against this. Mad
ison's record shows: 'On the motion
for adding aand peace" after "war,''
Lit was unanimously negatived.
"As finally adopted, the Constitu-
zion did not give Congress the power
to make peace. II did grant Congress
the power to declare war, but provid-
ed that treaties Of peace should be con-
ciuded by the President, BY and with
the advice and consent Of the Senate,
| and requiring q two-thirds vote Of the
Senate to ratify. DAILY OklahomAn,

their advancement in civilization. Also the pupils can tell you good morning" or goodbye" in Chi nese, "zow-zow" being the word for good morning" and "zy-way" for "good-bye."
 It was very interesting to learn that Mexican money was used a great deal in China. One might become quite rich in exchanging money, because the Chinese money is constantly changing as to value as one goes from province to province.
 Mrs Morton wrote two Chinese char acters on the blackboard. One of them said "pig under roof" and means home" The other was a sign meaning China.
 The pupils were so interested that Mrs. Morton was begged to continue her talk. There Was great applause to greet her in the afternoon, so after listening to some more about China, and having a reel shown on our new moving picture machine by Miss Keever, all agreed that they had spent a pleasant day.

Notes by Pupils Margaret FOster)

Mrs. Elizabeth Morton, a Red Cross worker from Pasadena, Cal, soon won 2 large place in the hearts of the school children when she so kindly smoke to us about her experiences in China. After she had related some of her interesting stories, she suggested that the pupils ask her some ques- 4ions which she would anwer to the hest of her knowledge. At first there was not much response, but in few minutes there were hands going up from all parts of the room. No sooner had she told them that the pig held a very important place in the lives and homes of the people than many ques- lions were asked on this subject, some of which were rather hard to answer Nearly every child in the school house now knows that a "Yang-poodza means foreign devil" and that this term was applied to Mrs. Morton many times by the children in the streets
 # she chanced to do something thai they feared would anger their spirits of the air or water. Their supersti
 tfous ideas are great drawback to

School Entertainment

Friends and patrons of the school
 will be interested to know that an entertainment is planned for the after noon of Sunday, May Is, for the pur- pose of buying a set of six hundred
 geography slides and a cabinet to hold them. The slides show views of every country, and it is expected that they will greatly reinforce the geog- raphy work of the school next year. Pupils will sell tickets during the coming week, and we trust the Cor dova public to be as liberal in it's patronage as it has been in the past.

The medieval history class will have finished their text books by the end of next week. If we continue in our present grades none of us will take the final examination.
 This year we are all planning on reading as many of Dickens works as possible. Individual reading covers "Dombey & Son." David Copperfeld," !" ''The Old Curiosity Shop" "Tale of Two Cities" Nicholas Nickleby, ; Bleak House." etc.
 On the last boat Miss Keever re- ceived a number of blank diplomas for the graduating classes of each year. Edna ThaWley and John Ross, wog have completed their three-year course, and the latter has done a year of postgraduate work.
 Miss Keever is also busy in between times figuring the credits of each of the pupils since their entering high school The Palmer pennants for the win, ners of the Palmer diplomas arrived on the last boat, to be distributed as soon as the drills have been accepted.
 Katherine Boyce, Doris Adams, Edna Thawley Elizabeth OLoughlen and Margaret Foster were the first to have their drills finished, and they will be sent out on the Watson.

 Cards showing work needed on teeth have been distributed to all pupils who had the recent dental examina' tion. Ask your child for his card.
 It is planned to give a course in home nursing next year as part of the high school work, for which credit will be given. Arrangements will also be made for an extension course to accommodate any of the ladies of Cor dova who may care for such instruc- ton.

 Monday afternoon all the pupils met in the high school room and were greatly delighted with the showing of the educational film, American Git ies." Such enthusiasm is rarely called forth as attended our initial perform ance.
 It is seldom indeed that visitor to the school arouses such interest and enthusiasm as did Mrs Morton when she gave her time so freely to tell the pupils what she knew of life and con- ditions in China after two years spent in the heart of that country in her work of establishing Red Cross hOspi- tals. The pupils piled her with ques- tions, and it is safe to say, more valu- able information and more interest which will lead to further investiga- tion were aroused than could have been accomplished by weeks of text book study Mrs. Morton expressed herself as delighted with our school, and insisted that she had enjoyed her self and profited as much from the days experience as we had, she being one of those great, unselfsh souls to whom it may truthfully be said, You bestow and think you are receiving" ."
 Several framed pictures have been placed upon the walls of the school rooms. These comprise copies of:

 '"The Mill"

 All are copies of famous paintings done in sepia, and they not only add materially to the appearance of the rooms but are as valuable and neces- sary in the culture of the child as are good books and music. They were purchased with part of the proceeds of our Tag day sale.
