NO OPE FOR THE LEAGUE
 UNLESS AIDED BY CHURCH

Whatever diverse opinions may be held touching the utterances of Lord Robert Cecil In his plea for Amer icas participation in the League Of Nations. generous approval is noted by church editors because of the depth and earnestness of Lord Roberts religious feeling. A luncheon was rendered to him by the Federal Coun- cil of the Churches and the Gap
 Peace union in New York. At this luncheon the visitor made it more than plain that he has no serious hope of the ultimate success of the League of Nations unless the churches will take hold to sustain and promote the idea of international peace. Lord Robert recalled how the Archbiship of Canterbury, preach ing at the religious service In Calvin's cathedral at Geneva, had de- clared that the churches must give a soul to the League 1t is now but piece of international mechanism" Lord Robert further stated that his own church. the established church of England, was prevailingly sym pathetic with the League: and that every -conformist minister In England was league enthusiast.

A CITY'S EXAMPLE OF
 CHRISTIAN UNITY

The cooperation and genuine 6 spirit of Christian unity of the min. isters and religious leaders of the city of Detroit has become a con- spicious example of what may be ac- complished by teamwork" Detroit has been peculiarly fortunate in that many outstanding preachers have for several years occupied its pulpits. These preachers of acknowledged stellar priority" share with one another, and with the entire min isterial body, the vision and re- responsibilities of the kingdom of God. The Lenten observance is a great success each year due to the cooperative program of the churches This year the public services on Good Friday brought the largest gather ings to the various places of worship yet recorded. At the proclamation of the mayor, business was sus- pended for three hours. from 12 to 5 o'clock, while six theatres and most of the centrally located Protestant churches and practically all Catholic churches were packed with wor- shipers. These congregations re- mained for three hours in the places of worship, and the whole city felt the power and inspiration of the ap- peal.

TOO MANY COOKS
 SPOIL THE BROTH.

Religious leaders In some of the churches are protesting against the number of organizations for youth on the ground that young people are being pulled outside the church for much of their religious training to the extent that their church coz scousness becoes diluted to the vaii- ishing point with the result that their attachment to the church Is decidedly weakened. In one commu- nifty the "outside" program includes a Christian society, with independent programs; Y. M. c. A; Y. w. C. A; the Boy Scouts; the Girl Scouts; the Campfire Girls; the Girl Re- serves; the Hi-Y Boys. and the state and district Sunday school associa- tions-in all, nine organizations in addition to the church to look after the religious education of the teen age youth" While no objection is made to the purpose of any one of these organizations, it claimed that young life is being distracted by the number of organizations claiming their time and attention, and that, in some cases they are treated to so mr n cf the pep and jazz type of religion as to receive little of value and make it more difficult for the church to do work of solid worth with them.

ZION CITY HAS
 INFLUENCE IN WASHINGTON.

Dr. Robert w. Cannon, of Chicago. in commenting on the recent libel case against Wilbur Glenn Voliva. leader of Zion City. takes occasion to point out that Voliva has a real influence at Washington as indicated in the appointment as postmaster at Zion City of Sylvester Dew, an apos- tie of Voliva, over Captain Anderson. a veteran of the World war. Writ
 ing In the ongregationalist, Dr. Cannon says: Tt seems that Dew was convicted a little while ago of assaulting two factory workers at Zion City because they were smok- ing. In spite of the fact that Pres ident Harding has announced the policy of giving preference to war veterans in filling government posi- tions, Zion City could exert enough influence at Washington to have ap- pointed to government position one Of it's own henchmen. We are sorry that Washington yielded that point"

A REAL SHORTAGE
 OF MINISTER'S.

When the claim was made few years ago that the scarcity of re- cruits to the ministry was proving a serious handicap to the work of the churches, the shortage at that time did not seem to be cause for alarm in many churches. The claim has gained ground In recent years. Late statistics show that many churches suffered a substantial decrease in the number of their ministers since the last reports. For time 1t was thought that the war was the cause of the scarcity of ministerial can didates. The churches are growing in membership, but no church shows a corresponding gain In ministers A commission of the Protestant Epis copal church has just submitted an interesting report on ministerial fig ures In that communion. In the dio cese of New York, where 70 years ago there was on minister for every 491 communicants, there Is now one for every 2.523. It Is stated that this proportion Is maintained through out the country because in Rhode Island In the same period indicated above, there was one minister for every 526 members, while now there is one for every 3.754; and through the southwestern states. where 100 years ago one minister was produced for every 235 members, now there is only one for every 5000"

called their hand in his last maneuver.
Defeated Governor Would EnjOin
Returns
Following the terrific defeat which
he received at the polls in the recent
election, where the people voted by an
overwhelming majority to allow the
Legislature to convene itself, the gov
ernor went to the courts to enjoin the
certification of the election returns.
But the legislature declared that the
election, once held did not need to be
certified, and they announced their
determination to meet Oct. II. Wal
toms call is for a meeting Oct: IL.
Walton Member OF Khan
The legislature, in order to prove
that it is not dominated by the khan,
must make good it's promise to force
the khan to unmask and register its
membership with the county authori-
ties. Many legislators, who admitted
membership in the khan, say that they
Joined the khan because Walton had
been obligated and that they thought
it was administration policy" For
the same reason when the measure
now urged by Walton came up in the
last legislative session the administra-
ton support voted en- masse against
its confederation.
Plays Politics
Walton has seen he cannot avoid
impeachment, according to some po-
litical observers, who believe his last
move is to make political capital for
himself in the future.
Walton Supporters Win On Him
The vote which gave Walton
the greatest majority ever given
to any candidate for governor
turned against him in the recent
election and voted for the legis-
lative call by a majority three
times that which Walton once
received. Socialist strOnghOIds
and the Red River cOA1ties where
the farmer-labOr forces gave such
tremendous majOrities to Walton,
went against him from two to six
to one. Not a county carried for
the governor. Catholic strong
holds voted two to one for the in
itiative showing that they did not
regard the issue as ''klan and an
ti-klan."
