to d sudden and abrupt end
tomorrow afternoon. It will 90
down as an upset il it's done
though, because the Mckinley
team with Jake Edwards

Eastern Is conceded the only
chance to stop the march Of Tech

team with = couple Of potential
first-pIace winners makes the Lin
coin Park outfit q most dangerous
team.
Central. too, has several candi-
dates for points who are practically
invincible in their specialties. How
ever. if Central finishes better than

than second. Quinn. q team
mate. might top him IN the
century. but he cant beat him

If Quinn and Edwards run one

 ""The peace crisis is at hand. Never since the armistice has peace been so near 50 tangible, 90 easily to be had for the taking-and yet the very thing 50 fraught with dan ger and difficulty. The reparation conference in Paris revealed anew the old grudges. The conference of jurists with Elihu Root in Geneva has paved the way for the United States to enter the world court. Now the threat is made to fight the whole thing over again in the sen- ate. Everybody believed the ratifi- cation of the Paris peace pact would make all those efforts more simple and successful. But apparently 1t has not had that effect at all. The truth is that the crusade for war less world must be strengthened. The victories of the past ten years are only partial ones.

 "China,' concluded Dr. Roo. ss in the midst. not only of . great poli- tical struggle. but . great religious struggle also. There are large groups of people saying in China today: We do not need to think of God at all" Materialism has not passed its day in the United States but materialism is rampant in China. Daily thousands of our young people are being won over to q purely materialistic outlook on life, and they have plenty of witnesses from tho west in China to this ef- feet. Christian work in China is more difficult, and calls for more devotion and insight and power than we have ever had or exercised be- fore. But, my friends. that is only one more reason for sending and maintaining the right kind of mis- sionaries in my struggling country
 Christianity
 Missions at home and abroad were by no means tho only interests of the council at Detroit. No re- port of these meetings would be complete without some mention of the movements toward Christian unity. law observance at home and international friendship abroad, which were manifest.
 'For years our Protestant denom- nations in America have been talk ing unity and acclaiming 1t. But at last the Congregationalists have es- poused it. At last we have made it something of a reality.
 At least one example in corpor. ate unity in a land where there are today 43 denominational branches of Professionalism all of national stand ing. not to mention the 160 other religious sects and groups with which we have to reckon. On Thursday morning of last week by unanimous vote of the council the proposed merger of our Congrega. tional churches with the general convention of the Christian church in the United States became an es- tablished fact! This is not the time and place to go into the details of the merger, though I should be happy to lay the facts before any one who cares to make study of them. The actual resolution. unit ing these two denominations reads in part as follows: Resolved: That the national council of the Congre. gational churches and the general convention of the Christian church be united under the title of the General Council of tho Congrega- tional and Christian Churches, un- incorporated, both national bodies to continue for the time being their organizations to meet legal require. ments while constituting the mem- bership of the general organization

sion. Finding that thers is room for wide differences of interprstatieu among equally good Christians. this union shall be conditional upon the acceptance of Christianity as pri- mariIy a way of life. and not upon uniformity of theological opinion or any uniform practice or ordinance All boards and societies. funds and vested interests of both churches are properly and legally safeguard- ed. The actual finalizing of this union will, not be completed until our Christian brethren have taken action in the autumn. but the com. missions of both churches are in hearty accord.
 This merger marks one more step toward that unity of spirit and effort for which multitudes of Christian leaders have been work ing. praying. and longing for years back
 Process of Law Questioned
 Colonel Raymond Robbins of Chicago addressing a mems dinner of 1900 Congregationalist laymen and ministers on Saturday evening in Detroit's great Masonic temple, challenged the council to back up President Hoover in his appeal to the American people for respect for law and order. Raymond Robbins is fearless man, an outspoken man and a prophet of social righteous ness in our corner of Gods King dom. I have always admired his courage, and usually espoused his doctrines. but never more whole heartedly than on this occasion.
 Not only in the United States he claimed, but throughout the west ern world. the authority of public order by self-government and due process of law is more in question now than at any other hour in mod- ern times. America is now the hope of the world. for-in spite Of our crime wave and lawlessness and ruthless gang violence in our great cities-there is a collective sanction and authority behind the public government of this country un- equalled in any other nation on earth.'
 He then cited American history
