Add, when clearing up in the fall ali

very slowly: also add leaves, with the
exception of very tough, leathery
ones. Never add pr~niscuous lawn or
garden rakings containing sticks, bits
of glass. stones. etc. This is an un-
forgfvable offense in the eyes of a
gardener who takes pride in his work
If the heap is within eye range

GERMAN CHURCH
HELP NOW SOUGHT
Federal Church Council
Makes Appeal for World
Peace system.

Forgetting the things that are be-
nind. let us together press on to the
things that are before" With these
words the Federal Council OF the
Churches of Christ in America invites
the churches of Germany to enter
into hearty cooperation with the
churches Of America. The message
mas been sent to- the church leaders
OF Germany by DR.. Charles S. Mac
farland. secretary of the federal
council.
Later 1t is planned to send repre-
sentatives of the American churches
10 the German churches. This means
the resumption OF friendly relations
by the American churches with the
churches of Germany. which were
broken when America entered the
war.
christians of Germany to join in the
development of a world-inclusive
peace system and the removal of the
causes OF war, says, IN part:
World Peace Sought.
Not the least among the disas-
trouS results of war Is the disturb
ance of the moral. and spiritual
forces and relationships which are
the most treasured possessions of
hands OF God, and we can now sure
ly disceIne through the dark clouds
tnat still remain the dawn of new
day and the beginning of new
epoch in the world order.
In the creation of that new order
the churches Of all nations must find
their way together. seeking their
common Father in the light of
knowledge Of His glory. revealed in
the face of a common Master. Both
divine justice and lasting peace for
our common humanity must begin by
the power of God and the spirit of
Christ in the world, reconciling men
unto Himself and thus reconciling
them to one another.
THE world is coming to recognize
the evil and wickedness of war and
the duty of developing a World-in-
elusive peace system which shall not
only restrain but remove the causes
of war. Among these causes has
been the subordination of those prin-
ciples which govern Christian moral
ity to the material interests OF states
and nations, and it becomes the duty
OF the Christian churches to create a
public conscience that will resist the
violation of Christian ethics by any
state or nation.
I'm the earnest seeking of this end
y
cooperation with US.
Work Abroad Followed.
I'VE have followed with deep and
prayerful interest the movement, rep
resented in the recent congress at
Stuttgart, toward the organization
of common body and the expression
of a united mind and heart on the
part of churches free from all bonds
and allegiance except those which
bind them to common Lord and
Master. We trust that this may be-
come for you the preparation needed
among all our churches for a new
reformation of spiritual forces to
meet the immediate call of God and
humanity to the Christian church
throughout the world.
Let us together undertake our
mission with a new confidence of
God, a deeper faith in Christ and a
new and larger hope for humanity.
