 hgion Together

Lausanne, Switzerland. Aug. 20 lR A call for help in bringing the churches together was sent out by the world conference on faith and order today to all Christians, es- pecially to women and young per sons.
 Among the more than 450 dele gates attending the conference. scarcely one is under middle axe, and but seven are women.
 Some of us pioneers in this un- dertaking have grown old in our search for unity" says a statement adopted today as preamble to the series of six reports on difficult questions which have engaged the conference for the last IT days
 Tt is to youth that we look to take the torch of unity from our failing hands. We men have carried on too much alone through many years. women henceforth should be accorded their share of responsibil- | ity and so the whole church will be enabled to do that which no sec tion can hope to perform.
 Tt was Gods clear call that agthered us. With faith stimulated by his guidance to us here, we move forward"

King George Taking
Chances With Wine

London. March 81 F} - King
George has shattered another an
Glen. precedent by abolishing the
custom Of taking his own wines
when dining out. He decided to
leave his wine stewards at Bucking-
ham Palace, taking chances which
many OF predecessors would never
have dreamed of in the days when
plots made the throne rather Il
risky Job
The practice OF monarchs drink
ing liquors only from the royal eel
lars goes back even farther than
the time of Henry Y, when rulers
feared being poisoned. 1t had al
ways been adhered to by one king
after another until King George de-
cided to disregard it.
