Present Day Churches
Display Selfishness
Declares DIR. Quimby

The attitude of our churches to-
ward the multitudes outside is one
of practical selfshness." declared DR..
Langdon Quimby Sunday afternoon
in his weekly lecture on religion de-
livered at the Y. NJ. c. A.
"Of course the churches would not
acknowledge this" he continued; cit
is doubtful if they are at all con-
scious of it. But their methods Of
striving TO reach and influence peo-
pie lead inevitably to this selfish
search.
Asking what the church regards
as its main BUSINESS. DR.. Quimby
SAID that it conceives its chief duty
TO be the winning of individuals into
Premiership with its own organized
lie. 1t is to be granted that the
cnurch, in a very vague manner,
sometimes talks about the kingdom
or GOD and a whole world to be
saved, but such talk, he declared.
IS never based upon any real faith
or ran or program for it's accom-
plishment.
He then asked how the churches
are succeeding in what thev con.
celve to be their main business. and
largely failing in their speciii, TASK.
He pointed out that the vast ma
1oritv of the people of Augusta and
OF Maine and of America and the
world are living and dying outside
the church's life. And when It
comes to question of holding the
members who ere enrolled. it is seen
what very large proportion of
them fail 10 enter into W. deem
love for the church or great devo-
ton for the higher things Of the
kingdom of God.
In treating Of the essence of
Christianity. as being that of toll
and struggle in behalf of all right
tnings and in opposition to all esi!
things. he pointed out that the
churches must enter into a unity of
labor which can be the only possible
or desirable basis of unity now or in
the future.

Texas Oil Fields Not Exhausted

The excitement and clation Of the
oil producers in Eastland and Stephens
counties. Tex. over the discovery of
the Ranger and Caddo fields some
years ago was followed by depression
and gloom as it became apparent that
these fields would he short-lived. Com
panics that had made great invest /
mcnts and prepared elaborate drilling
programs had to sustain losses some
or them staggering. Optimism was
followed by pcSSmiSm. First the op-
orators could see nothing bad in the
region: then they could see nothing
good in it.
The pessimism was as short sighted
ana as destructive of rational judg-
ment as the umrestrained optimism.
Operators who porsistcntly stuck to
the region and intelligently prospected
and developed it found new pools and
extended old ones. Obviously the re-
slon sun has reserves of oil with
which to repay those who can learn the
secret of their hiding places and who.
after finding them. arc gifted with The
intelligence TO develop them nationally.
Suicidal rentals. high lease prices. and
huge ROYALTIES arc becoming less and
less common. and it is to be hoped thar
the paying sands OF this district will
soon be developed entirely as a bust
ness and not as n gamble or pure
speculation.
Geology has played its part in the
discovery of the fields of central Texas.
and will evidently be Of high value in
their future development. but tho
country is not one where tho gcoIogjst

where the geologist must spend weeks

gaping holes in the flesh were healed
without infection of any sort. the

with almost no distress.
Zonite is stabilized and concen-
trated form of the Carrel- Dakin solu-

more certainty than the Great War

A cut or torn finger or hand, for ex-
ample. will heal with amazing rapid
ity if Zonite is applied to it at once
after the injury. In addition to this
tho wound has no angry appearance
whatsoever and there is no pain dur

OF more Importance still Is the fact
that this painless healing and total

Ruinofion Of Russia Laid To
BolsheUism Of Former Premier

PARIS, Apr 10-The renewed in
terest OF western Europe in the Rms
sian problem is evidenced by an ar
ucie contributed to the magazine Re-
yue des Deux Mondes" BY Count W
hokoytzoff, who was Russian minis
ter OF finance in 1894 in succession 10
Count Witte, and who filled the post
OF premier under the Car from 1911
to 1914.
hokoytzoff takes up the present
russian economic situation from
every standpoint and endeayors TO
prove that Bolsheyism has. by steady
and inevitable stages. brought about
the economic ruin OF Russia. For the
reconstruction OF Russia the writer
Deieves that the right OF private
property must be re-established and
that the Bolsheviks must renounce
the system of monopolies and can't
taiism conducted by the Soviet state
which, he insists, strangles the eco
nomic development of the country.
External and internal commerce must
become the exclusive prerogative of
private Initiative: nationalized indus
try and transportation must be de-
nationalized and, above all, element
airy justice must reign in Russia and
every Russian must be allowed to
breathe freely on his native soil.
To win these and other reforms
kokovtzoff is convinced that the total
liquidation of the Soviet regime is es-
sential. He therefore is less concili-
atory toward Bolshevism than Basil
Maklakoff. Russian Ambassador to
France. who. in a recent interview
with The Associated Press, foresaw
the possibility OF a unified Russian eff
fort to. reconstruct Russia before the
total humiliation OF the Soviet re-
gime. Further developing his ideas
in this respect Ambassador Maklakoff
told the correspondent that when es-
sential reforms. like recognition OF
