conscious limitations and restrictions,
and the lack of unity in the propaga-
tion of the deep truths of religion has
embarrassed the forward movement
of the churches. In spite of this
there has been a growing desire for
finer fellowship and for those
things which would effect a greater
coordination OF effort More and
more the Christian leaders have come
to realize the unseemliness of rivalry
and competition. 1t would almost
seem that a new "fullness OF time"
had come with the advent of the
radio. 1t has served to dissolve diff
ferences and to break through all
barriers, no matter how insurmount-
able they may have seemed.
Those of US who have been preach
ing by radio have been literally over
Whelmed with expressions of approval
from those whose religious affilia-
tions had hitherto separated them
from any form of outward fellowship
or cooperation. In my personal ex-
perience I have found that an in
creasing mail from radio listeners
represents every form of religious
afflliation: and the amazing thing
about it all is that it is wholly repre-
sentative of all creeds and all ex-
pressions of religious faith. From
the most unexpected sources I have
received words of deep and affection
ate interests, and in the great ma
jority of eases there has been dis
closed a yearning for a finer express
sion of unity and fellowship.
Nothing in ministry covering so
years has made more evident to me
the universal appeal of religion, on
t,a I l., s., =
on the other. One wonders whether
the great prayer of the Master. that
they all may be one, as Thou, Father,
art in me and l in Thee, that they
also may be one in US" is not nearer
fultillment today than it has ever
been before. The use of the ether
for transmitting the message of the
gospel but serves to emphasize both
the vastnesS and the incomprehensi-
BILE greatness of spiritual forces.
More and more we are being COM
PEELED to appreciate the fact that
God has made of one blood all ma
tions for to dwell on the face of the
whole earth More and more we
are forced to recognize that however
we may differ racially, or in our hab-
it's of living, we are bound together
by indiSSoluble ties. and made to un-
derstand more clearly that what at
fectS one people, or indeed one tndl-
vidual, bears in some way upon the
happiness or misery of all. The
agencies that have hitherto tended to
divide us must yield to the invisible
forces that today are compelling us
to come together in the spirit of
conrad deShip and in the interests of
more comprehensive duty. To re-
sist these new forces is the part of
folly; to welcome them and to use
them to bring about that greater
unity of the spirit which makes for
the highest development of all men
is a supreme opportunity and God
given privilege.

1 widespread effort, yes, and
more pratical one, is focusing
our interest upon the question of
unity. Even the cynic and the critic,
with all their doleful speculations
concerning the dissolution of society,
are compelled to recognize that
agencies have come into being with
in the past 20 or more years that are
forcing the peoples of the world to
realize their interdependence and eS
Sential unity.
When the great cable that united
two continents was laid, the first
message that went over it was, w hat
hath God wrought" 1t meant that
new tie had been established between
the Old World and the New, and that
from thenceforth the intimacy of
peoples widely separated should be
vastly strengthened, and their con-
Germs made more identical. 1t is veri
ly true that what happens in one part
of the world. however remote it may
be. affects all other parts within the
brief space Of a few hours. 1t is a
long reach from the stage coach to
the flying express. 1t is a still great
or reach from the express to the swift
flight of the aeroplane What may
be done in the near future to estab-
lish still more intimate commercial
and social relations it would be diff
cult to forecast.

Nothing of which We have knowl-
edge has done more to establish in
innate relations between widely
scattered peoples than the transmits
sion of the human voice through the
medium of the radio. Communica-
tion has been established, and that
instantly, over distances that are
reckoned in thousands of miles. This
new method of communication is vir-
tually in its infancy, and it would not
be idle to say that within q compare
lively short space of time it will be
possible to speak from New York
and have the voice transmitted by
the sensitive ether to every part of
the habitable world. The value of
this method of communication may
be demonstrated in many ways.
When Gen. Pershing, on the eve of
his retirement. from Washington
communicated with every corps from
New York to San Francisco, while
millions of people listened to his
farewell words, il made evident the
utility of the radio in times of stress
where instant communication was
Indispensable.
No use to which this greatest of
modern discoveries has been put is
designed to serve a larger purpose
than the opportunity it affords for
scattering broadcast those eternal
truths that bear intimately and i'm
mediately upon the peace and happi-
ness of all men. Through the medi-
UNI of the air contacts are estab-
lished and fellowshps effected that
hitherto have been rendered impos-
slbe.

agencies of religion have experienced

was in that neighborhood. But dur
ing the campaign hopes of the La
Toilette people were raised. and pre-
dictionS were made that there would
be a. much greater vote east for the
third ticket. The failure of these
hopes to materialize has thrown cold
water on the proposal Also. Sena-
tor La Follette's failure to obtain any
electoral votes outside of his home
State, Wisconsin, has had d dampen-
ing influence.
Frankly Republican and Democratic
leaders do not look for the organi-
zation-certainly not with any de-
gree of SucceSS-of a new party. They
say that the elements which made
up the La Toilette following this
year are too discordant; that the So
cialiSts do not mix we'll with the
American Federation of Labor and
the railroad brotherhoods, for eX-
ample.
The American political system does
not lend itself readily to a three
party contest. Two major parties
seem about all the American people
can separate themselves into at one
time. If there is to be a new party
which shall live, then it means the
eventual death OF one of the old par
tics. With its recent victory and its
championing of the conservative
cause-as against the radical--there
seems no prospect of the early death
of the Republican party. What, then,
of the Democratic party?
La Toilette leaders have not hesi-
tated to say that they desired to sup
plant or to take over the Democratic
party. But the solid South rises as a
considerable obstacle to swallowing
the Democratic party. Then, too, the
Democratic party is strongly in
trenched with its many members of
the Senate and the House and it's
large number of governors of States
some of the latter in States that
went strongly for Coolidge, as Ohio
and New York. 1t will be some job to
uproot the party of Thomas Jefferson
in spite of demand that the country
shall divide politically along conser-
vative and liberal lines In the first
place, the Republicans do not intend
to permit their party to be painted
as without liberal leanings.
The Democrats have for many years
been considered the more liberal party
in this country. The likelihood is that

And now one has to notice another
strange-indeed, quite incomprehen-

When, early in 1912, Yuan Shih
kAi negotiated with the new repub-
lican government the terms under
which Hsuan Tung, the boy emperor
tof the Manchu or Ching dynasty),
would consent to abdicate, the re-
publican government agreed to pay
an annual pension of 100000 taels
to the head of the imperial family,
and to allow that family to retain
their titles and continue residence in
the beautiful imperial palace in the
Forbidden City, with the ancient
court ceremonial. Apparently the ar
rangement wos to be in perpetuum.
On November Feng Yu Hsiang
sent to Hsuan Tuns a new paper of
agreement to supersede the old
which he was compelled to subscribe.
Under this instrument the imperial
family is expelled from the imperial
palace, the imperial titles are abol-
ished, and the pension to Hsuan
Tung is reduced to 100000 taels.
Some see in this proceeding the
| fine Muscovite hand of NJ. karakhan

and there are some even who dis
cover his sinister influence in the
| whole course of recent events. If
| that suspicion is justified and if
Tuan Chi Jul was consenting to Feng
Yu Hsiangs treatment OF the ex-
emperor, the business is fantastic
beyond precedent. One could never
have suspected Tuan Chi Jul, a
| gentleman OF the old school, Of any
| sympathy whatever with bolshevism
or bolshevists. Neither Tuan Chi
Jul nor Chang Tso Lin is at Peking

United States is to have a third party,
and, If so, what its cha aracter is to be.
Nevertheless. it is fairly plain that
there is the possib bility Of the arrival
of a third party and that this party
will not only be radical, but will also
seek at once to eliminate the more
vulnerable of the two major paAies.
Confusion at End.
AS long as the British situation
was confused. as long as there were
two minority parties fighting for the
title Of opposition-two parties not
considerable-the American echo was
bound to be inconsidera Bile. But
henceforth the situation changes. And
inevita bly,, as the party out of power,
Labor must profit by the losses which
sooner or later aff1ict the party in
power. 1t cannot fail to gain in num-
bers, nor this side of suicide, escape
ultimate succession to power.
Great as is the Tory majority now
and remarkable as have been the
powers of cohesion and endurance
which it has displayed, it is by no
means as solid as it appears. There
are factions differences, groups, rival
leaders and no single outstanding
leader 1t inherits vicious situation
both on the domestic and the imperial
side, a situation created by the war
and its aftermath. And despite its
astonishing number of members, it
is only a 40 per cent party, regard
having been had for the election re-
turns.
Gains to Start Anew.
Once Macdonald lays down Office,
then, and takes up the leadership OF
the opposition, Labor's gains must
inevitably begin again. and for the
next few years American radicals are
going to have a steady source of in
spiration in the purposes and poll
cies proclaimed upon the floor of the
House of Commons by the ineluctably
increasing Labor opposition And
American labor is going to have the
continuing example of British labor
as a force and an unmistakable force
| in British politics.
The British Liberal party perished
because it was caught between two
vital forces, real conservatism and
unmistakable radicalism. 1t had be-
come, if it had not alwayx been, a
party of palliatives. 1t strove to be
more sympathetic and understanding
with the lower classes than the
Tories, particularly with the laborers
| of the factories as contrasted with
those of the fields. But at best there
