WAR LORD TACTICS

There is food for thought in the reports concerning German recep- tion of the film "All Quiet on the Western Front" At every perform ance in German theaters riots have resulted, in each case extraneous methods being used to stampede the audiences, such as loosing mice and snakes on the floors.
 The picture, at least as it was shown in America, is distinctly not a reflection on German courage or
 ermany war behavior. The pie ture does show, in heart-gripping scenes, the reaction of unhardened youth to the horrors of war, but the same scenes might have been laid in American lines had America been forced, as Germany was, to put her school boys in the trenches.
 Those most likely to take excep- tion to this picture are those whose business it is to make war and who advocate civilizations progress by means of war. To these, in our es- timation, must go the discredit for attempting to arouse public opinion against a picture which shows war in it's true phases of horror

SEAWEED ONCE USED FOR MEDIUM OF BARTER

Ask Canada's Pacific Coast In dians to name the foods obtainable from the waters of the Dominion, and they will probably put seaweed on the list.
 In earlier years seaweed was mon- ey among British Colmbia Indians in the sense that 1t was used, to a limited extent, as a medium of bar ter between northern interior tribes and other tribes living along the coast. This barter has now prac- tically disappeared, but if seaweed is no longer money it remains in use as an article of Indian food.
 For food purposes, especially ann ong the Indians of the northern coast of the province of British Co., lumbia, the seaweed is pressed and partially dried and in this form it will apparently remain in a satis- factory condition for a considerable length of time.
 Part of it's value from the dietary standpoint is doubtless due to it's content of iodine, an element which research has shown to be valuable as a preventive of such diseases as goiter. Incidentally it may be not ed that sea fish also contain a con- siderable percentage of iodine and this is one of the reasons why doc tors and dieticians recommend fre- quent inclusion of fish foods in the household diet.-Prince Rupert Elm pire.

 Q-How far are our missionaries going in Turkey at the present time :?
 A-When the Turkish government made restrictions that were really prohibitive, our missionaries were forced to give examples of Chris tianity through living Christian lives. Toor much had depended upon the schools, but now humble Christian actions tell the people what Christianity is.
 Q-What are the native churches doing to support themselves.
 A-They are making wonderful sacrifices, some of which make me blush for shame for our lack of sacrifice. One workingman in d city like New Britain has more cash at the end of a year than a whole town has in China. We do not see pov- crty as it exists in China. South Africa is now self-supporting. We do not send one dollar there.
 Q-What kind of missionaries are wanted overseas today?
 We should send specialists. Trained specialists in social service. educational work, medicine, etc, can conduct missionary work better to- day than merely trained theological students.
 John Peter, a native of India, who was to conduct the first tour last night to India was found to have a previous engagement that prevented his appearance, hence Miss Clara Gray Labaree, on furlough from India, conducted two tours, while Rev. Alfred D. Heininger conducted a cruise to the Caribbean.
 Tours to India and Caribbean will be continued on each Thursday night for four more weeks, skipping Thanksgiving night, and continuing the thread of each tour to a conclu- sion that will bring the tourists back home safely with a broader knowledge of missionary work in India and elsewhere.

AiI Churches At Best
 There are two observations that I can make. The first is that in all foreign missionary work you will find all of the churches at their best and powerful in their great work done in the name Of Christian ity The second observation is that Christianity is such a tremendous thing that it cannot be grasped and Christians, even the biggest. We need all types of Christianity 10 give us Christianity itself. It is such a mighty thing that no one sect can give us the truth.
 We are enjoying our great Christianity today because others before us have labored to give growth to Christianity.
 You ask Why. our kind?'
 T believe that we Congregation alsts are imbucd with the princi- pies of democracy and these are the principles Of Christianity. Just as political democracy is sweeping the earth, so is spiritual democracy sweeping the earth. This makes for self-support, self government of the churches.
 Tn India we are giving over to the Indians the conduct and charge of the native churches because they are becoming self-supporting, spir- itually.
 Missionary work began in India 120 years ago, under our church, but today you will not find one Congrc- eational church in India. We are all working under the one big United Christian church. There are also no Presbyterian churches there, and l hope some time 10 see no Meth odist and Baptist churches there, but all working together under the Christian church.
