proving an asset to Greece. 1t brought
into the nation host of clever,
thrifty, enterprising people-the sort
especially that had made Smyrna the
richest city of its size on earth-a
great army of producers and business
organizers.
Athens is vibrant with energy, dis
tinctly American in spirit. It's popu-
lation has doubled since the beginning
of the World War.
The proAmerican feeling of Athens
is not exhausted by its initiative ener.
gies; a great spring of gratitude wells
out of the national heart. Greece has
not forgotten that America, through
the medium of the Near East Relief
and other benevolent agencies, sent
her inestimable assistance in money
and in experienced social workers
when refugees from across the
AIgean three years ago were pouring
in on her by hundreds OF thousands
sick, hungry and dying.
l took much comfort in thinking of
that while I was in Athens, for there
is no satifaction deeper than in help
ing those who help themselves.
Watching the crowd, it pleased me to
reflect that some, at least, of those
happy folk were among the exiles
whom America had fed and helped to
keep alive until they could stand on
their own feet again. And it is pleas
ant to record that the Greek public
authorities never let down any of Their
own efforts because Americans were
there helping. They shouldered the
utmost of their own burden, and CO.
operated besides in everything that
the American organizations asked;
and it should be remembered that
more than half of the wards of the
Near East orphanages are Armenian
children, with absolutely no clasn-
except the paramount claim Of human
| ity-for refuge on Greek soil
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1926-01-14

diately brought the testimony of ex-
perience and swept his inquirer out
into the immensities of world in
which Gods love was manifest and
intended for every man regardless of
race or condition. "Belief in a map,
faith in a voyage" is the way Jowett
expresses Johns use of term, for
his chief interest was that men should
venture out on the vast sea of the
love of God revealed in Jesus.
THE MOVEMENT.
How far did our Lord carry Nico-
demus that night? There is no way of
knowing, but he was shaken out of his
old attitude of mind and given a Wis
ion such as had never been his be-
fore. The hour probably stretched
into several before he took his digni-
fled way down the steps and through
the silent streets. But he changed.
He was no longer willing to be mere
cipher hidden in "we" There came
q uoy WuSll OlIISI IldIS SIlIIGu dS dlIlSG
this Meddler with other folks mat
ter, and the group of which he was a
part was openly hostile. 1t was then
that he stood alone and said 81" 1t
may not have been very loud, but it
was tremendously different from his
old position. He had broken from his
crowd. Later there came the culmi-
nation of the hate in the cross and
Nicodepus appeared again, bringing
spices for the body and doing a thing
that parallels the furnishing of flow
ers for the burial of hanged con-
vict. He would certainly get on the
front page today with any such act,
and he gained notoriety in Jerusalem
by act of affection. Interest had grown
to love to cause any such lavishly
beautiful gift and he had certainly
moved from his old darkness into the
kingdom of light and love.

mdisputable ascendency in all the
Egean and Anatolian region. But
visit the Near East and what is your
discovery? There you realize that
Greece looks vastly more like vic
tor, now, than Turkey.
Shabby Constantinople
The Turk holds Constantinople, of
course, by virtue of soaring Europe's
peace negotiators when he came down
to the Bosphorus with the big, lnso-
lent army that had driven all Greeks,
military and civil, out of Asia Minor.
But there is grave question about how
much glory there is in holding the
Constantinople of today. The city
looks meaner and shabbier than it
ever did before. Try as one will to
wish well to the modernized Turk in
Ibis professional reformations, one has
: to acknowledge that if the appearance
of the city of Constantinople is any
sign, the Turk is still the sick man
of the Orient And he has lost Syria,
Arabia, and Mesopotamia forever.
Prosperous Athens
On the other hand in startling con-
trast, Athens is city on a boom. By
the same token the present-day Greek
is in lusty health. Greece's come
back since 1922 is amazing. Not only
in the capital and in other cities, but
In towns and in country districts there
abound evidences Of sound and
growing prosperity.
All this has happened as the direct
result Of Greece's great defeat" The
stupidity of the Turks in driving out
their Greek Christian subjects, after
their supposed triumph at Smyrna, is
proving an incalculable enrichment to
Greece. After the fail of Smyrna the
Greek nation in Europe, with rare
