HOLY WEEK IN METHODIST
CHURCH

Holy Week is taking on a deeper
significance than usual this year in
the Methodist churches of the Unit
cd State. The members of every local
church are being challenged to make
special Easter offering of one
tanth of their income for the week
of April 9 to 16.
A message, signed by Bishop The
odore S. Henderson, Detroit, Mich.
igan. for the Board of Bishops, by
Dir David G. Downey, of New York
City. for the Committee on Advance
Program, and by DIR. Raymond J..
Wade. of Chicago, for the Committee
on Conservation and Advance, has
gone forth to all the churches
throuth the pages of the denomina-
tional press. Methodist pastors in
city and rural hemlet alike have been
teaching their people the principles
of Christian Stewardship for several
weeks.
1t is significant that this Offering
of one-tenth of the weeks income
is not for use in the local church
1t is for the great missionary and
benevolent work which the Metho-
dist church carries on in the United
States and its insular possessions
and in nearly every foreign land,
the world around. 1t is an offering
in recognition of the benefits which
faith in Jesus Christ has given and
to help to make knowledge of
Him available to thousands who as
vet know Him not.

BIBLE NO HANDBOOK FOR MODERN
 LAWMAKER; DR. GRANT FLAYS
 PURITANISTS IN EPISCOPAL CHURCH

New York, Sept. 2.-The Bible can not be made a handbook for modern lawmakers; the church cannot organ ize life of today on texts found in the New Testament; the Bible is not source of scientific knowledge-be- cause needs of an age break through and discard the ideas of the past.
 These are few of the observa- tions of Dr. Percy Stickney Grant. rector of the Church ,of the Ascension, New York, in a strong Announcement of a movement to narrow the attitude of the Protestant Episcopal church on divorce.
 Dr. Grant said the object of the Puritanist movement to be presented at the triennial convention at Port land, Ore, September G. is supposed to be the forbidding of re-marriage have been divorced for any cause. Episcopal ministers would be prohib- tied from marrying divorced persons.
 The divorce canon at present per
 nlits re-marriage 'to the innocent party in a divorce for adultery" Would Modify Divorce Rules. f@The hardship of this situation falls upon good people whose tragic expe- riences require divorce,'' declared Dr.
 Grant who would broaden the canons of the Episcopal church relating to divorce.
 ''The real question:" he pointed out 'is whether theology or science is to frame our social institutions an as cetio conception of the experiences and needs of humanity; the dead or
 the living"
 Dr. Grant charged that marrow
 minded ecclesiastics'' say divorce has brought chaos in the American home but he pointed out there is likewise chaos in homes where there has been no divorce, in business, education, and legislation.
 Illumination of modern knowledge will improve our institutions, not
 monastic theology, according to the minister.
 The Divorce Evil. The new divorce canon of the Epis- copal church is believed by Dr. Grant to be based upon a disputed state ment in the New Testament relating to divorces. He pointed out in the day of the Christ, men, tIing of their vorces. Dr. Grant believes Christ's words on divorce referred to a local condition existing at that time. In the New Testament there are no
 suffrage, child labor laws and wage
 slavery, the minister remarked. eve are all laughing at Bryan and
 the Kentucky mountaineers because 1 they wanted to prohibit the teaching | of evolution in the schools of Ken
 tucky,' Dr. Grant exclaimed. 'tWe
 naturally don't expect to find nine
 teenth century science in a book two | thousand years old. Why should we
 expect to find twentieth century SO
 ciology?"

 anyone concerned in a state of sin or create an immoral situation, the di- vine believes. He thinks a too dras- | tic application of '.blue laws on di- vorce would encourage ''i1legitimate
 relationships and the two-family sys- | tem'
 s'But the Episcopal church goes l further than unintelligence about ju- dicial action,' Dr. Grant continued. | '1t attempts to undermine and de- stroy the laws of the country by for

tions clauses. She has been forced to deliver up fantastic amounts of live stock of every escription-including cattle, horses, sheep, goats, down even to bees-rolling stock and machines, to an extent never. owned by some of her creditors" She is delivering up 100000 tons of coal a month-that is, 24,000,000 tons a year. All deliv-
 cries are being made without any payment.
 The consequence of the coal deliv- cries has been arapidly increasing import of expensive British coal, which in turn has to be paid for by fantastica1ly increasing paper mark mounts-imports that spell deliber- ate ruin to Germany, without any profit to the worlds regeneration, as the German coal delivered up to France and Belgium either remains uselessly in those countries or is flung away at a song to the same Great Britain that is exporting her own ex- pensive coal to Germany.
 Furthermore, under the "c1earing system of the Versailles Treaty, Ger many has been paying $5,00O,000, or, at the present rate if exchange, B. 500, 100000 marks (three thousand five hundred millions of marks) per month, for private pre-war debts of German nationals to allied nationals that have nothing to do with, and have to be made apart from, the monthly separations pay

bidding it's clergy to carry them out. Tyranny of ecclesiastical domination is just what early settlers of this country left Europe to eSscape.''
 He said 'our republic is opposed to direct religious interference. The attitude of the church amounts to an invasion of the civil power, according to the minister.
 "If the clergy refuses to honor mar riase licenses duly signed, the right to perform marriages should be taken away from them," Dr. Grant said.
 The minister deplored what he be- Heves is movement to make the Episcopal church puritan church. He said it is a church of the rich and somewhat the church of the poor"
 The rich as a group don't care much what the marriage laws are % he commented. "The poor resort to desertion and bigamy when matetrs go wrong at home"
 Divorce. according to the minister, is a part of the woman's question. Two thirds of the divorces, he pointed out, are asked for by women
 Industrial Independence will in crease the number of dfvorces,'' pr. Grant concluded. Divorce used to be thought @ scheme put forward by bad men to gratify their passions. In reality it is relief sought by good wo- men,"

Dry Raids Cause
 Liquor Shortage

San Benito, Sept. 2.-Activities of customs officials and prohibition of ficers in making seizures of huuor. in the border sections is reploute,d to nave resulted in a shortage in dry territories farther up the coast.
 Dry officers recently returned to headquarters i'm Brownsville after a raid in the Ranchito district, south or San Benito, bringing a wagon heavily loaded with tequila, aaliar- enta, nesca1 and other liquors of Mexican manufacture. Approximate " 1ooo quarts of prickly pear liquor were transported recently by govern ment officers from natural channels flowing from the river to the more distant sections up the state.
 Enforcement officers in Cornp,s Christi report diminishing stocks and declare that rum runners are exper- fencing unusual difficulty in bringing in fresh supplies. An unconfirmed report has it that dry agents are operating two airpifanes in the Corpus Christi district and are keeping boot leg operations to a minimum

 German Crash Laid to Versailles Pact Saws Debt Exceeds AllPre-War Resources

ments of 4,375,Oo0,oo0 marks at the present rate of exchange.
 But that is not all. Germany IS paying the up-keep of hundreds or thousands of allied and American sol diers in the occupied territory and or untold numbers of commissions, "committees' who are controlling her disarmament, shipping, trade and ad- ministration. For these items she has so far paid 6O,00O,000 marks at the present rate of exchange - all apart from the separations.
 The German government has ex- hausted all the means-fnancial and legal-by which it could extort money from it's nationals to stop the current, but in vain. In it's despair it went to the length of offering to fulfill by German labor in France-that is, by practically selling it's nationals into slavery-in vain.
 Now it is five minutes to 12. If the Preparations mania is not quash- ed the German crash will within short space be a fact and will bury Europe under it's debris
 There is a lot more to be said on the subject, but space is scarce.
 One more telling figure: Belgium, whose netire pre-war national wealth was estimated at five billion gold francs, is demanding thirty-four bil- lion gold marks, or forty-two billion gold francs for "reparation," apart from all other payments!

Coincident with the formulation of
cautious, practicable policy for dealing with
the European situation by the government,
there is evidence of revival Of effort to COM
NIT the United States to the rejected league
of nations program.
Former Associate Justice Clarke of the
United States Supreme Court, who resigned
from the bench to further the movement
in which he is now engaged, will be the
head of an organization seeking to bring
the United States into the league of nations
Associated with him will be men and women
hitherto identified with the support of the
league. They include Samuel Gompers,
Rabbi Wise of New York. William Allen
White of Kansas, Oscar S. Straus, Jane
Addams of Chicago, Mrs. Carrie Chapman

The governmental policy will not be in
sympathy with this movement. 1t is realized
here that an exigency exists which demands
prompt, practical measures of relief, and the
government will work to such an end.

concern holding the interest OF the public,

nRESIDENT HARDING'S course in the
undertaking of applying the good Of
L fees of the government, the people
and the resources of the United States to
the economic relief of Germany, and to avert
ing possible political crisis in Europe
which might follow the collapse of Germany
may be described as that of a man pro-
ceeding toward a commendable objective
with caution, caution and yet more caution.
His progress is hampered to degree by
the attitude of France in the matter of
German reparations in insisting upon de-
mands which Germany says are beyond her
economic and financial ability to meet. In
a measure also he is lacking in complete
information of the amount that Germany
can pay in reparations.
In the extension of financial relief to
Germany through an international loan,
plans are under survey. The best assurance
obtainable from the highest source of official
information is that the government has the
situation under consideration and, while
deprecating premature announcement, will
disclose the plans at the proptious time.

Sentiment is understood to be crystallized
in both the executive and legislative branches
of the government against cancellation OF
any of the war debt due the United States

American people.

1t seems likely that early in the new
year, soon after the arrival of Ambassador
Harvey with his stock of private informa-
tion and of suggestion, the President will be
able to disclose the program upon which the
government will be willing to embark, ard
which will be offered for the support OF the
whole people of the country.
That program will not, it is believed il
executive and congressional circles, contain
any change in the policy OF this government
in holding aloof from the politics of Europe.
