FEDERATED CHURCH
r. 4 ! Il + ** !. i. :. !. (. 1.

The following has been included in
the notes this week by request.
The Federated church consists Of
three church bodies-the Baptist, or
ganized in 1917, the Methodist, organ
ized in 1887, and the First Presby-
terian, organized in 1891. These lat
ter two federated in 1916 and the Bap-
tist church joined the federation in
1924. In addition to these three
bodies-who keep their membership
and church duties separate from each
other but unite for purposes of church
worship and church work-members
of the Lutheran, Congregational, Re
formed and Evangelical church bodies
have joined the federation in an active
and full membership.
We were asked also to print the six
steps named in last Sunday mornings
sermon as necessary to succeed in any
vocation adopted. They are: Associa-
ton, development, activity, concentra-
tion, imitation, personality. "Tell me
what you read and | will tell you what
you think" Show me your friends
and / will show you your character" "
Lead me to where you live and the
places you frequent and will lead you
to heaven or to hell. !"
The sermon last Sunday night dis
cussed the situation in Mexico as to
religion, pointing out that it is a
phase Of the present turmoil in the
world as nations long stepped in
medievalism are becoming modern and
that the future is a controversy be-
tween materialism and Christianity
the world over.
Next Sunday morning Professor Il.
G. Glass of Teachers college will speak
and in the evening w. r. Johnston,
who for many years was the beloved
missionary on the reservation and
elder of this church. The pastor
leaves Friday for attendance at church
meetings in California for few
days.
The Woman S society will meet next
Thursday at the church for the month
ly missionary program
Wednesday night prayer meeting
for Bible study and the fellowship of
those who love the Lord.
A visitor recently said, Flagstaff
does not appeal to me as good town
to live in because the men do not go
to church." Therefore we urge every
one to come to church and worship
God and show we really do love the
Lord and have good town to live in.

that Heaven was going to be place

Christ clothed old truths in new gar
ments He was considered sensational
by the people of his day because he
dared get away from the beaten paths.
Fire in the pulpit, fearless telling
of the truth, change of the program,
and many other changes have been
suggested as remedies for the exist
ing conditions. The day of Journalism
is going into the discard and thinking
people are asking for change.
Visual education in Bible things is
coming to the front. Pictures are
used in schools and colleges, and now
the church is waking up to the fact
that as an educative factor pictures
are big thing.
We remember many times over the
things that we see, more than we do
the things that we hear Our vision
is not as apt to become distorted as
are our thoughts. The Christian
church is using pictures as part of
its Sunday night programs. They are
good pictures, they are pictures that
preach better sermon than the aver
age preacher.
They are pictures that you will re-
member. They are pictures that many
of them were taken on the very spot
where the Bible incidents took place.

Port Said Too Small.

I'm spite of the sea S real estate ac-
tiyities Port Said is too small. There
fore, the Canal Company decided 20
years ago TO develop another port on
the opposite bank A companion
breakwater and the dredges have
manufactured the foundations of Port
Fuad, although there was always
more sand there than at Port Said.
Having put into practice the newest
principles of city planning, the Canal
Company began moving their people
over. -Four days before Christmas
they called in the King of Egypt to
declare Port Fuad incorporated and
ful-fiedged.
AT present the railroad which con-
! Anects Palestine and Cairo crosses the
canal at kantara, which is 80 miles
south of Port Said. None of the 5 900
steamers which carried nearly 300, 900
passengers last year stops at Kan
tara. but they all stop at Port Said to
take on or drop pilot. Many coal
there. Since the steamers halt any
way, citizens of Port Fuad now hope
that branch railroad will come to
give quick access to Palestine. Then
the easiest way to Jerusalem would
be through Port Fuad instead of
Jaffa, which is off the ship lanes.
Port Said and Port F'uad are, by
nature of their business, cosmopoli-
tan. The official language, which will
be taught in Port Fuad schools, is
French. We are accustomed to re-
gard the Suez Canal as a British
canal. Indeed, Britain owns a large
block of stock. Britain has the mill
tary responsibility for the canal. Yet
the headquarters of the Compagnie
Universelle du Canal Maritime de
Suez are in Paris and the majority of
1ts 80 directors are French. Manage
ment of the canal is entrusted to
French engineers.
Rivalry will undoubtedly spring
up between these two ports, one the
front door to Africa, the other the
front door to Asia

Rifles Are Numerous.
Rifles are numerous in the Altai.
Every home of sufficient aff1uence has
one, ostensibly either for hunting in
the mountains or protection against
wolves on the plains around their
base.
How many hundreds are buried for
future use is not said. Outlawry was
not suppressed until 1924, when a
general amnesty was proclaimed. Un-
til then the mountains were full of
armed bands, calling themselves revo.
lutionaries and called bandits by the
government. Six of them on a rocky
pass of the Katuna River held the
red forces through the Winter. and in
the Spring 400 red soldiers were
drowned in the same turbulent river
during a fight at Belobom, 100 versts,
Or 66 miles. from Chamal.
Fighting was expensive and uncer
tain. and the government offered
pardon to all who would surrender
their arms. Their leader. a former
Russian officer, kiiorodov, had been
accidentally killed. and an Oyrot, now
a yamshek driving travellers on the
Chuisky road, was In command. He
and his lieutenants came to Oolaia to
talk things over with the authorities.
When they found they were not to be

PORT FUAD LATEST
! OF EGYPTIAN CITIES
Port Said'S New Rival May
I Become Chief Center
! of Palestine.

Enter Port Fuad!
Search the maps, run through the
ALIASES, sift the gazetters and you will
not find Port t'aud. 1t is a newly
hatched city.
But Port Fuad has prospects, says
D bulletin of the National Geographic
Society Its proud and very new city
fathers expect that within few years,
when a railroad comes to town, Port
Fuad will be the chief port of Pales-
tine
They hope for this fortunate day
despite the fact that Port F'uad is in
Egypt, not Palestine. The new city
IS at the Mediterranean end of the
Suez Canal. This is the location of
Port Said. Port Fuad is on the other
side. Port Fuad and Port Said are
twin cities, like El Paso and Juarez,
San Diego and Tiajuanna, Detroit and
Windsor. Canada, and Minneapolis and
st. Paul.
December 21 the godfather of the
new city, King Fuad of Egypt, port
~ Moslem in fez, walked down the
gangplank of the royal Egyptian yacht
to inspect and christen the city. With
him were the diplomatic representa-
tives of all the major powers, includ-
ing the United States.
Has Room to Grow.
"The official proclaimers of Port
Fuad did not have to dedicate a sand
waste to future hopes. They landed,
drove through green lawns and parks,
passed five hundred or more newly
occupied homes, some for laborers,
some for skilled workers, viewed play
grounds, schools, stores, wharves and
all the essentials for town. There is
much space to grow, to be sure, but
that is the reason why Port Fuad is a
city.
Until Ferdinand de Lesseps then a
French vice consul at Alexandria, had
a dream of a ship canal between the
Mediterranean and the Red Sea, the
present sides of Port Fuad and Port
Said were buried under blue water.
Examination of a detailed map reveals
that the SueZ Canal passes for 20
miles through the eastern end of Lake
OF Menzala, which is a large lagoon of
the Nile delta. The lake is sprinkled
with sand Gays or islands. Before the
construction of the canal line of mar
row islands provided thin dixie be-
tween the Mediterranean and the lake

Port Said is a small but growing
island. 1t looks out on the Mediter-
ranean and looks back on the Lake Of
Menzala. Nearest mainland is about
20 miles away. The breakwater has
pocketed sand discharged by the Nile
end so the shore is growing steadily
in the direction of Gibraltar. The
