each in the most helpful way.
Meetings, music and literature on
religious work were no substitutes,
however, for direct personal innu.
ence. Whenever a life showed the
effects Of its faith, there were some
who wanted to know its secret, and
religious men, becoming the conf
dants of those who were in trouble
or need, were often abb: to guide
them to the source of spiritual power
and peace.
When DR.. Henry Churchill King,
President of Oberlin College. be-
came head of the Religious Work
Department of the Y. M. c. A. he
laid down this principle: Religion
is not department of mans life;
it is the spirit of his entire life shown
in all its many-sided relations" It
was the recognition of religion in
service that made soldiers eager to

who had proved by their works their

Welfare work originated among
religious people and was carried
forward by religious institutions,
as were the first hospitals, schools
and asylums. OF the seven leading
welfare agencies serving in the Great
War, five were religious. Overseas,
only small fraction Of the work
was carried on outside religious aus

Our people have no doubt in their
minds that religion is the most solid
bulwark against sin and the only
real preparation for death. Here
and there are exceptional groups,

served the civilian welfare agencies
in the Great War looked to them

> eminent operation-more of it than
before and probably for all times
{ has been embarked upon by the United
States Shipping Board.
4 After many weeks of maneuverlns
on the part of shipping interests to
get possession at low prices of the
. fleet built during the war and after
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States had appealed to Presi-
dent Coolidge to turn the ships over
10 private operators. the Shipping
Board has gone ahead with plans ex-
actly in line with the announcement
made BY the late President Harding
when the ship subsidy bill failed to
come to a vote in the last session OF
Congress.
: The shipping board will operate its
own vessels.
The system OF handling them
through managing operators who, re-
ceived a commission on gross bust
ness done whether it was at a profit
or a loss. has been abolished.
5 Consolidation of lines is being

worked out with the aid of executives
who are to receive salaries direct from
the United States government instead
OF through managing agents.
Pay in Freight.
The only commission arrangement
which has been arranged is that which
permits loading agents" to solicit
freight business for the government
lines, but the commission is paid only
in freight obtained.
Broadly speaking this is direct gov
eminent operation on more extern
slve scale than has been tried before.
The shipping board has >aen
prompted to make. the experiment by
the success achieved in handling the
United States lines, as the line is
known which runs a passenger service
to Europe with such ships as the Le-
yiathan and the George Washington.
The opinion of Attorney General
Daugherty. which called illegal the
plan to organize Subsidiary corpora
tions. also pointed out that it was
questionable whether. under the law,
the shipping board could delegate its
powers.
This gave added force 10 the desire
of the board TO do away with the
managing agent system and has
brought about direct operation as the
only way Of conforming TO the spirit
and the letter Of the DaugheFty opln-
ion.
But the merchant marine act also
says that the ships must be operated
so as ultimately 10 make it possible
TO dispose Of them TO private owners.
The subsidiary corporation plan
was designed 10 demonstrate how at
tractive the ship organizations created
by the government could be made TO
prospective purchasers.
Members of the shipping board in
sist that what they now are doing
will not interfere with the sale of
the ships TO anyone who wants to buy
them.
But thus far no offers which the
board thinks worth while have been
made.
And the probabilities are that the
deeper the government gets into direct
offers become.
1t begins 10 look as il private ship
ping interests lost their best chance
when the ship subsidy bill failed and
that as alternative plans are worked
out the government will constantly
reduce its losses or adopt the attitude
which it does with respect TO the de-
ficit in the postol service, namely. that
the loss to the government is relative
ly small compared to the insurance
