Three Methodist Bish-
ops Address All-Day
Meeting at Bangor

Bangor Me, Dec. 17.-Bishops H.
Lester Smith, Edgar Blake and Ed
ward H. Holt Hughes were the princi-
pal speakers at an all-day rally of
Mcthodists held Friday in Grace
church. Bishop Hughes spoke to a
large audience in the evening on the
Boston area situation. Many ciethod-
list clergymen in this section and prom
jnent 1aymen were here. Missionary
work in home and foreign fields, par
ticularly the situation in European
fields. were discussed.
Bishop Blake pointed out that Eu-
rope cannot work out it's own saliva
ton. 1T must have America aid" he
said.
Continuing, the bishop said:
when the fate of civilizat ION was
at stake on the battlefields Of Europe,
two millions of our sons crossed the
seas to fight for liberty. They went
freely and gladly, ready to sacrifice
all that they had to save the world
from disaster. We must not forget
that $4,000 of our sons still sleep on
the soil they gave their lives 20 save.
$50 long as Americas sons rest be-
meath Europe's sod, America cannot
leave Europe to stew in it's own
juice. The soil that was consecrated
by the blood of our sons is too sacred
to be neglected by America With
our last resources, without hesitation,
and without reservation, we must go
to Eurepe's aid. America found her
soul in the war. God help that she
may. not lose 1t in peace"
Bishop Smith said. in part:
II believe that India vii. accept the
reforms offered by England and will
make tremendously rapid progress
toward real lf-governmcnt.
Il am also of the opinion that the
progress of India toward this goal
will be directly proportionate to the
cooperation of India with England
and with western culture.
Political harmony and unity in
India today is only possible under the
British flag"

The Pipe And Easy Chair

In almost every home, there's one place sacred to the head of the house where he is accustomed to settle down and take his comfort.
 There is big, comfortable chair-a Morris chair, or some sort of an uphol- stered, shaped-to-his-fgUre seat such as used to be called an easy chair.
 It's usually lodged near the fireplace.
 Atany rate, it's always stationed at just about the most comfortable spot in the house.
 And right near at hand you inevit- ably fnd-what?
 Pipes and tobacco, don't you?
 Men are likely to be just as com- fort-loving as they are hard-working.
 They know that rest is necessary to renew their powers. They know that after pipeful and short rest in the old easy chair, their minds work more clearly; they can think things out that baf1ed them no little during the pres sure and confusion of the day. And so they take their comfort, wisely take it.
