The church is somewhat criticized

M. Stills of Bowdoin College. Much
of such criticism is clearly unfair but
where it exists such an institution as
the radio parish is an effective an

I'm obeying Christs command to go

an instrument of service and may
lake the place, to a certain extent,
of the old methods of preaching and
teaching"
Here in Maine" declared Prest-
dent Sills, I'VE may well be proud
that man of vision and insight has
organized the first radio parish in the
world. To reach isolated and shut-in
souls and bring them in contact with
the living voice of the church
through psalm and hymn and scrip

humanity, as it is to religion"
Ihe radio parish constitutes a
splendid modern application of the
ancient definition of pure and I'M
defiled religion" said the message
from Governor Brewster. THE COM

privileged to spread like the morning

New England states is a testimonial
that modern inventions may be used

The Bathroom Boudoir

boudoir makes a most con-
venient combination, If it rs
of a size that permits such an ar
irangement. In many old houses
that have been remodeled, small
bedroom or sewing room has been
converted into a comparatively
spacious bathroom. The addition
of an attractive dressing table,
fitted with the usual toilet acees-
sories and a small, silk-shaded
lamp, win give the room the aspect
and advantages Of boudoir.
It would be attractive to paint
the woodwork, medicine cabinet,
dressing table and a bench or
small chair the same color-say, a
lovely sea blue-and the walls

painted bius and the woodwork

efforts are being made by soldiers of
the Red Army, f1remen and American

Entire cemeteries were disrupted
by successive earth shocks and bodies
scattered everywhere in grim disor-

increased by the fact that the earth
quake occurred in total darkness, the
first shock having dislocated all the

subterranean commissions recurring
through the night caused the untut-
ored peasantry to fear that the end
of the world had come.
The buildings occupied by the Am
erican Near East Relief were among

though there were more than fifty
American doctors, nurses, clerks and
