self with others for alternating
human distress. There's the call of
the community chest. But he cannot
stop with that. Again, he must be-
come part of any super-government
whose purpose is the restriction OF
such wells, indeed, their elimination,
as have shown their physical, social,
economic political enmity toward
human well-beingy as we'll in the
laboratories as in the history of
men.
The Choice
"He will recognize that 1t is
merely question of choice of
super governments, and he is ready
to make his choice. He will not be
narrow bigot, but will gladly find
himself enlisted shoulder to shoulder
with men of any name whose hearts
are right.
I'm short, he is one who in all
life, and with, all like-minded, joy
ously strives to make his Saviour
Master and Lord, and thus to bring
His kingdom to pass in our whole
world and in our time.

MODERN SAINT
IS DISCUSSED
BY DR.. K|STLER
Pastor Gives His Idea OF
Big Problem
Today.

THE name saint is a SANDER to-
day and word of scorn,' said DR..
Edward Haines Kistler Sunday
morning In his sermon in the Fair
view Presbyterian Church on 1.-THE
Modern Saint"
"Why?" he asked. Because it
was once taken to mean the type of
character wondrous concerned about
saving its own soul, or at least ap-
pearing to do so, while the rest of
the world might go to the devil, for
all it cared. Oh, it prayed for them,
but it's prayers did not seem to mean
any effort on it's part to make its
prayers come true.
"Of course, all this is carica-
ture. When Paul tells the Corin-
THAN Church that crowd Of fault
finders, disputing, punctilious wor-
ships, that such as they are called
to be saints he is issuing the mod
ern challenge to add to their faith
such manliness as will make their
own virtue spontaneous, and give
them somewhat of the heroic in
their battle with the worlds ills.
The Real Saint
1.-The modern saint is true to the
word. He knows no line of diStinc-
ton between the religious and the
secular, so far as the quality of the
act is concerned. All experiences
are to be lived under the lordship
of his Savior. Now, that's a per-
sonal word, and covers all ones life.
A man dare not be a thief, not
even as a member of corporation.
He may not limit his efficiency, not
even in the name of his pleasures.
Late hours and little sleep are I'M
fair to his Master.
Personal Liberty to drink or eat
what one pleases has a relation to
dyspepsia, hardening of the liver,
destruction Of the kidneys, or the
eating away of his brain. He must
be as much in training as any mem
Der Of any team, and with no ex-
ception.
All this he must do, thinking of
his finest effectiveness toward
others. The modern saint will not
hinder, but will help all efforts TO-
ward removing life's ills. Being
modern, he will joyfully ally him

Time was not so long ago when railroad facing maturing bonds its first thought was 10 issue some more bonds in order 10 pay off those that would be called in. The railroads be- came so loaded mp with bonds that practically every system in the coun- try had twice as many bonds out standing as stock.

 The quarrel between Poland and Lithuania has persisted ever since the great war; and Wilma itself changed hands five times in 1920, eventually being seized by General Zeligovski Of Poland, the seizure be- ing recognized by the Council of Ambassadors in March. 1928. Since 1920 the two countries have been in nominal state Of war. although Lithuania. with only q little more than 2.o00,0 population, would have but q slight chance against Poland's 29.o00,O00.

TAKING BACK SEATS

II Is not surprising to learn that Chairman Butler of the Republican national committee chooses not 10 run for the Senate next year Sena- tor Walsh is due to be renominated and will choose to run with hls usual overpowering strength Had President Coolidge, MT. Butler s close friend, chosen to be Q candl- date to succeed himself perhaps MT. Butler would have seen an oppor- tunity to fly to port on the presi- dental kite; but with MT. Coolidge out of the picture 1t would be sad period Of cam paigning for Mir But Ter. The political manager and mlli owner from Massachusetts knows when situation requires caution.
 The understanding that Senator Mclean, senior senator from Con- necticut, will choose not to be candidate for renominatlon. pro- ceeds from a different motive. The patriarch from Simsbury has had notable career in the Senate: re- gardless of party affiliations, he IS thoroughly well liked in Connectl- cut. His long career in the Upper House has been one of distinction, reflacting credit to the Nutmeg state and to all New England. Ills chairmanship of the important com mjttee on banking and currency gave him an influential post, and only last year he was more lnflueh- tial than any man in the country Tn consideration Of the federal reserve law and the branch banking lcslsia- ton. This year he gave an inkllng that something unusual was under way when he resigned from this committee, but accepted the chair manship of the committee on manu- factures. post of lesser importance which he undoubtedly Is wiling to fill until he returns to well-earn- cd rest in private life.

OKLAHOMA'S PERENNIAL
 REVOLUTIONS"

Events revolve in cycles in Okla homa, one of the states of magnifi- cent distances where men are he men and politicians are strong arm ed gentleman who know what they want when they want 1t and will not brook interference by the mere and general public.
 Thus we find. when a governor is being investigated, he objects with all the vehemoncs of the militia. The legislature, If 1t wants 10 meet to ln- vestlgate, cannot enter the capitol building on such occasions. If such things only happened once every 50 years 1t would be significant enough; but as recent as 1923 Governor Wal ton had a little job with the legs- lature on his hands, and now Gov ernor Johnston IS in the same fix. In other words. the militia is out again and the legislature is meeting in a nearby building
 Governor Johnston 0ill get the worst Of the encounter, like Walton did before him. Governors have to be good down in Oklahoma; and though they have the power to call out the soldiers. the latter have no votes in the legislature. The regi- mental bands might as well find the music for the funeral march when the political scalp of the governor is laid low.

CANTON COMMUNISTS STRIKE FROM REAR

Following the trend Of the war fare in China long ago ceased 10 be a diversion for the average man. But when news came that Canton. the erstwhile capital of the southern Republic. had been seized by Com. munists. the feeling that something definite had happened was para mount. Now 1t is question as to the permancy Of the seizure.
 The victorious march of General Chiang kai-Shek started from Can ton: and after a short retirement re- cently.s the kuomintang general again took over the reins of leader ship.
 While Chiang has been tilting at the northern war lords in their back yards, giving almost all beholders confidence in his ultimate victory for a rejuvenated republic, the Com munists apparently have been active behind his back. X year ago it was not necessary for Chiang to make announcements about Communists; only last. week, however, he was forced to announce general opposi- ton to the Communist movement.
 The red movement in China, of course. originated in Russia, and gained it's greatest supremacy in and around Ranking. where outrages were committed. While dcsultory fighting had been going on the propa ganda of the Reds worked with the general population until now there is no telling what will happen.
 The picture disclosed from China the past few days is a scra mhled egg of conflicting generals and movements. Nowhere else could there be such a mixture. For in stance. Chiang found it necessary. on resuming leadership, to "dn- nounCe" General Ii Chi Sum, former ruler of Canton-a point not 10 be overlooked. Also General Chang Fak-Wei, formerly the subordinate of the former Canton ruler and who seized power while the other was visiting in Shanghai. And Wang Ching-Wci a once trusted follower who sucCecled pr. Sun Iat Sen the George Washington of China as chairman of the Kuomintanc. or national party.
 These declarations by Chiang were all directed against former comrades in arms or politics. The reaction in the circles denounced was seizure of the former Chiang capital.
 If this "comic opera war contin- ties the way it is going the younges: among us will never live to Sec the day of its termination.
