DOUBTS AND FEARS,
DR.. INCRAM'S TOPIC
Lord Bishop Tells College
Students Why They Should
Be Christians.

The Lord Bishop Of London, Right
Rev. Arthur Foley Wilmington In
gram, ID. D., turned back the years
OF long life consecrated to the serv-
ice of humanity last night and told
some 1000 college students assem-
hled at a mass meeting at Memorial
Continental Hall of the doubts and
fears of his own youth and of the
reasons why he is Christian. u"s-
Ing them to adopt the standards of
Christ and aid in redressing the
wrongs of the world
Bishop Ingram made of Christianity
sane. simple. adherence to the doe
trines laid down by the Master when
lie was on earth and founded the
Christian church by imparting His
truths TO His apostles. He illustra ted
his remarks with episodes from his
own experience among the suffering
and sore at heart and showed re-
ligion to be a vital, living force in
the world today.
No Change i'm Forty Years.
There is no change between the
youth of today and the youth Of 10
years ago." he said. in discussing
the doubts and perpleX;ties Of
youth. FOR human nature is essen
same hopes, temptations and joys
that I had.
'Ali the boys and v0urE men who
went to the war and stuck by their
religion came unSCathed from temp
fatiuns which were more dangerous
than German shells"
Speaking of his attitude toward CO
education and the reported follies Of
The modern college youth, Bishop In
gram said:
There is no danger in anything If
every young man is a Christian gen
tlerlan and every young woman a
Christian lady.
IF YOU take the standards of
Christ as your standards l have no
fear whatever Of your future life or
that YOU will do good work in the
world"
Science and Religion in Accord.
There is no contradiction between
scierce and religion, Bishop Ingram
declared, because they are on diff
ferent planes. and while the animal
lrdy has been evolved through the
ages there is a distinction between
monkey and man. an unbridged gap
between life and death. mind and
matter
Bishop Ingram made a plea for a
united church, urging his hearers
10 aid in healing the wounds of the
church and pointing out that no
matter what denomination man
lnav belong to, it is the church that
brought the message, for had not
Christ founded the church there
would be none at all
Reatfi:ming his faith in the
Christian religion, which sustained
him. he said, through busy years of
service. the lord bishop said that
when we doubt miracles we forget
who God is and fail to take into
account that while miracles are
worked by law, like anything else.
they are controlled by a higher law.

Collecting War Debts From Europe
Declared Unsound Policy for America

my judgment, be bad for the United
States. We have got hold Of q red-hot
poker-it may be our poker-we may
have every right to It; but I do not
believe it IS worth while to burn our
hands to hold a poker which has no
great value at best.
In the last analysis, our debt policy,
or the sentiment which is back of it.,
has it's origin in anger with Europe,
in the feeling that Europe has misled
| us, that it is seeking to cheat us. 1t
is the direct outcropping of the old in
feriority complex In the face Of Eu-
rope. It is the disclosure of a determi-
| nation to show Europe that there are
at least limits to the extent We can be
| fooled, cajoled or bluffed. All of which
, is perfectly human, but does not neces-
/ sarily stimulate sound business judg-
ment.
| After all, a bad debt is any debt the
| cost of collection Of which is greater
| than the face value, and the situation
| is further intensified when one of the
costs Of collection Of q dead horse is
the loss OF present and prospective
| new business. / believe in the cancel
] lation Of the debts purely as a bust
/ ness matter and becat1se I regard
them as bad debts-bad in the sense
| Of being uncollectible, bad because ]
believe every attempt at collection in
| wolves new losses. Bad, above all, be-
cause I believe they may form the
basis of a new European coalition
against the United States which would
be equally unpleasant in South Amer.
| lea and in Asia.
