weakened and impaired by them. Con-
fused by the controversies of the
churches, men fail to hear the divine
message of the church. In the battle
against evil, against the anti-Christian
forces which are at work in the intel
lectual world, against the frank return
to the old paganism which we see in
our modern life, we need the power OF
a united Christian testimony. The
divisions among Christians are giving
woeful advantage to the forces Of evil
and unbelief.
The question which the world Is now
asking is no secondary or minor one:
it is the question whether Christianity
is from above, whether Jesus Christ
reigns on the Throne of God and still
lives among us, whether He is in truth
the worlds Redeemer and Lord. 1t is.
this question which demands the an
sw'er of a united testimony.
Whatever our differences, we Chris
tians are all brothers, and therein lies
the sin of our divisions. We are one
in the life that joins us to Christ, and
more fully than we realize we are one
also in faith. We all. Roman Cath.
olics and Anglicans, Professionals and
Easterns, lift up our prayers ard
praises to Him in words which have
been used by Christians through the
whole life of the church on earth, and
which are echoed not only in our.
creed but in every act and utterance
of our worship. Holding this common
faith, it must be possible for US to find
the way to visible fellowship and
unity.

After many years of prayer and

and Order is to assemble, or rather
world conference. for it will prob
ably be the first Of a series of such
meetings. The meeting is to be held
at Lausanne, Switzerland, from the
Sd until the 21st of August.
The purpose of the conference is
not to arrange terms of reunion be.

This, of course, it could not do. Only

the world conference is the frank
discussion Of differences, in the spirit
of love and brotherhood, with the
hope that through such discussion

this meeting is limited strictly to con.

Fools
BY BRUCE BARTON

.HlS is the true story of a
teamster who came to a
dealer in paper and said:
l. ~ want to be a salesman"
For 80 days he pounded the
pavements without a single order.
Everybody else in the Office knew
we'll enough that there was no
hope for him; and even the mer-
chant, who liked his spirit, de-
termined that he must go.
It happened that the concern
was overstocked with certain
GRADES of tinted paper. "lf you
find any prospects for tinted

statesmen, 1--WE are in a position to
quote a very low price,"
The older statesmen paid no at.

that nobody wanted any tinted
paper. But the poor x.teamster
remembered; he was grasping at
any straw.
So, eagerly, hopefully, he hap
pened to see an architect in a big
Office making plans on blue print.
paper, and he marched in.
"Do you use much Of that
paper?" he asked. "lf you do I'd
like to sell you some"
The architect asked him for
prices, and the poor fellow went
back to the office with q sample,
full of hope.
The merchant did not have the
heart to hurt him. He got price
on blue print paper, though it
was entirely out of their line,
added a trifling commission. and
sent him out again.
And the poor fool came back
with an order for a carload.

There is still some Misrepresentation
among sections of American public
opinion about the situation in Pales-
tine and the work of the Zionists in
the Holy Land. AS a non-Jew who
was in Palestine in December, 1926,
may be able to remove some of these
misrepresentation.
While there l traversed the whole
country from Dan to Beersheba and
crossed into Transjordania as well. L
met the leaders of every section of the
population and visited every impor-
tant center am in position to draw
a contrast, as IS years ago, while
serving as a naval officer in the
British Mediterranean fleet, / had an
opportunity of seeing the country UNI
der Turkish rule. To put the matter
briefly, Palestine is being made into
a modern civilized state with progress
sive Western ideas in the midst of a
vast area neglected for centuries
under Moslem rule. The effect of the
Palestine example alone on the sur
rounding countries would make it
worth while.
There is no unrest among the
mass of the Arab population. Just
after the armiStice the Arab farmers
were told by the political agitators
that their land would be taken from
them, and they were naturally dis
satisfied. They have been treasured
on this point and further, appreciate
the direct benefits they have received
from the Jewish colonization Of the

ployment resulting from this colonial

Jews out Of the country, but would

. The more responsible Arab leaders
are now bidding for the Jewish vote in
the local elections at which they are
running for office. The best proof of
the peacefulness of the country is the
fact that there is not one British
soldier in garrison and order is kept
by police force armed with nothing
more deadly than wooden clubs.
Secondly, we are told that the town
bred Jews from eastern Europe cannot
make good farmers. The actual facts
disprove this. The Jewish agricultural
colonists are models of good hus-
bandry Modern science and the best
agricultural methods are being applied
to rich soil in good climate. The
results are similar to those obtained
In California.
The country can support very much
larger population than at present; but

was denuded of trees and the poor

MERICA'S policy of non-recogntion of
n the Russian Soviet government, main
n tanned during three administrations, is
\ likely to be attacked from several quar-
ters when Congress reconvenes. Indeed,
the very fact that the British government has
finally broken with the Soviet and sent its rep
resentatives out of the British Isles is almost
sure to draw added fire upon the refusal OF this
Government to recognize formally the Russian
bolSheViStS.
There is no indication. however, that the
present administration will deviate from the
line which it has followed with regard to Russia.

with the Russian Soviet government. 1t has

Those who wish to see the Russian govern.

by desire to hurt the Soviet at home as a
measure of reprisal for the activities of the

fear the influence upon their Indian subjects
of the cry of the Nationalists in China. 'China
for the Chinese" They say. too. that the Brit
ish Conservatives. in the saddle. wish to
distract the public mind in England from the
antistrike bill which they intent upon
forcing through Parliament. apparently with
a certain measure of success.
On it's face, however, the British break with
the Russian Soviet came because of the activi-
ties of the bolshevists to undermine the British
government. The British insist they are fed
up. They through. they say, with the rec
ognition of a government which uses it's posi-

Furthermore, the British have seen Ameri-

that the United States has steadfastly declined
to recognize the Soviet government Today
the volume of trade between the Russians and
the United States has grown to very consider
