WSC0UNT BRYCE
 DIES AT SIDM0UTH
1Continued from Page one.)

this post for 1S months in the Camp bell Bannerman ministry he resigned to accept King Edward V1ls appoint ment of him as ambassador to the United States to succeed Sir Henry Mortimer Durand. The appointment met with universal approval on both sides of the Atlantic.
 Literary Career
 In the late fall of 1912, Mir. Bryce relinquished his post at Washington, with the desire to devote himself to literature. number of perplexing problems were then pending, among other things the Panama canal tolls question and it was said by some of MT. Bryce's friends that he feared a breakdown in his health.
 Shortly after his return to England the distinguished scholar was ele- vated 10 the peerage, being created Viscount of Dechmont.
 At the age of 76 years when the Flu ropean war broke out, Viscount Bryce enlisted in the service of his coun- try by accepting an appointment as chairman of special commission to investigate alleged atrocities com mitted by the Germans in their in vasion of Belgium. It was an ardu- ous task to sift all of the evidence, but Lord Bryce devoted himself to 1t with thoroughness that has char acterized all his previous research. The result was voluminous report sustaining, in the opinion of the com mission, the charges that the Ger mans had committed innumerable vio- lations of the laws of humanity in Belgium.
 Throughout the conflict, the fam ous statesman, diplomat and author was active in many other efforts to ameliorate the condition of war vic tins, notably the Armenians and Poles. In 1917 details of what were known as the Bryce scheme" for a league to enforce peace were made public. They antedated by some two years, Lord Bryce indicated, the pro- posai advocated by former President Taft and endorsed by former Presi- dent Wilson and out of these and other discussions grew the League of Nations.
 In August, 1921, Lord Bryce, in a lecture before the Institute of Politics at Williams college, Williamstown Mass, declared the treaty of Yer sailles had received nothing but cen sure in Europe and had resulted In Sowing the seeds of future wars He declared that the victors, bear as much resentment as the vanqGished. He saw danger of fresh conflict on the Rhine. in the Tyrol, the Balkans Russia and Turkey.

The family affairs of the Gumps seem to be getting serious.
 Age-Herald readers are familiar with the drama being enacted daily In the creations of sidney smith and practically all of these readers sym pathize with Andy Gump and Min Gump, to say nothing of little Chester Gump In their efforts to save the wealthy Uncle Bim Gump from the machInations of the Widow Znnder.. .. A resolution before the Rotary club of Atlanta. however, takes the side of the widow and claims that the course of true love should be allowed to run as 1t will
 on the other hand. the Loyal Or der of Moose and Maccabees in At lanta take the side of Andy and Min to permit the widow to capture the innocent Uncle Bim.
 It is a controversy which has read CTS divided wherever the Gumps are known and that embraces about the entire United States. Smith has been flooded with letters in recent weeks fmploring him not to allow the widow to go too far in her clever scheme to annex Uncle Bim and all his money. Think of little Chester; provide for his future" This is the plea.
 Andy and Min have won the hearts of millions, and while 1t is surprising that many have taken the side of the widow the controversy grows warmer every day. As an indication of the attitude of the "widowites" here are the resolutions which are now pending before the Rotary club of Atlanta:

The speaker mentioned the history of Spain. where the Jews were one of the biggest factors to make the land rich and prosperous, but also where the Jews were told to move on.
 He then mentioned other European countries which the Jew helped to develop and from which he was told to move, even today, after the World war, in which the Jew has made the most unheard of sacrifices and yet hundreds of thousands are being driven around from country 10 coun- try, from land to land, finding no resting place anywhere,
 The speaker spoke at length of the mission. principles and methods of the Keren Hayesod-Palestine Found alton Contemplating the many lines of endeavor the s1O,O00, 900 asked to be raised fin the United States this year will create. His speech was forceful and eloquent and made a great impression on his hearers.
 Appeal Made
 When pr. Abramowitz got through with his splendid address, MT. Aland appealed to the audience to heed the call of the Keren Hayesod. Then the n n s.. of Louis Pizitz and Joseph Smolian a 10 per cent contribution of the moneys collected in the Birmingham district. A similar contribution was made by friend of the Zionist pro gram, whose name Is requested to be withheld.

A large number of $75 and $50 contributions were made and will be announced In a few days. The total sum of the meeting, excluding the 10 per cent men, was about s5,0oo. which is con sidered a splendid beginning to Bir- quota of $25,00O.
 An interesting incident occurred at the meeting was, when a gold ring was brought to the pulpit and an nounced that the ring Is the only possession of a young man, who was one of Jewish pioneers willing to go to Palestine. but on account of lack of Zionist funds he was not given priv ilege to enter gates of the holy land. who Is now here and without a job, but will give 10 per cent of his in- come as soon as will get a job.
 It was announced, that in order not to interfere with the war relief cam paign, which is expected to make house-to-house solicitation this week, that on that account committee will wait till Thursday. January 26, on which day house-to- o-house solicitation for the Keren Hayesod will begin.

GREATNESSO OF GOD
 |SSERMON THEME

An audience that filled the High lands Methodist church yesterday morning was present when pr. W. R. Hendrix preached sermon on Building on the Greatness of God"
 The text was taken from the thirty second chapter of Jeremiah: An, Lord God, Thou has made the heav- ems and the earth by Thy great power and outstretclfed arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee"
 N Dr. Hendricks said in part:
 Faith of Leaders
 Faith in a great God led John the Baptist to declare that of these stones God is able to raise up seed unto Abraham. Such was the faith of Luther. who sang. "A mighty fort ress Is our God John Wesley, though a devoted churchman. de- clared that the ordination of the early Methodists was divinely sane tioned though forbidden by hls church. God makes use of appointed means in, carrying on his work. but is never a slave to any system, hu- man or otherwise. When his table round was being dissolved the heart of King Arthur was crushed until relieved by the larger conception of Gods plans. The old order changeth yielding place to new; and God full fills himself in many ways lest one good custom should corrupt the world
 Early America
 '"rhe early settlers of America came to this wilderness because there was no room in the political and re- ligious institutions of Europe for such God as they had discovered in Holy Writ and in their own sx perienoes. When they at last found ed their country 1t was founded upon their conception of God, and the na- ture of man as God had created him. Civil and religious liberty were writ ten into the constitution of the na- ton and this astounding departure from national precedents was Justi- fled by declaring it to be Gods will.
 Above everything else today hu man society needs the stabilzing in- fluence of faith In & great God who is working out his sovereign will for the children of men. Our feeble and halting efforts to bring all our prob lems under the scrutiny of moral sense and mobilizing the moral con victions of the human family to take the place of physical force in picket ing our frontiers, Is just such move ment as we might expect of God, when the impotency of physical force is evident on every hand.
 Men who believe in great God will create and equip a worldwide army within the next 25 years. whose awakened and enlightened conscience shall effectually guard men every where in the exercise of those human rights, in which governments of phy- sical force have too often tratfick ed and seldom successfully maintained.
