Cnurcn news
AS was announced last week, DR.
John r. Edwards, secretary of the
Board of Foreign Missions was here
all day on Sunday, and in the morn
ing delivered a very good talk, his
subject being based on the scripture
the lad shared his lunch of five
lOaves and two fishes, and Jesus
blessed the food and gave to the
disciples and they in turn gave to
the people, and after gathering up
the twelve baskets of fragments
Jesus sent them away. During his
talk he told of many interesting
things being done by the mission
aries in China and of some of the
conditions existing there. A free
will offering was taken for world
service and amounted to about $75.
The regular evening Offering was
also given in addition to that amount
In the afternoon DR.. Edwards was
present and conducted a rOund-table
talk and answered questions in re-
gard to the seven divisions of mis-
sionary work when he classified
them as follows: Board of Foreign
Missions, Board of Home Missions
and Church Extension, Board of Edu-
cation which includes Sunday School
and Epworth League, Board of Tenn
perance including Prohibition and
Public Morals, Board of Hospitals
and Homes, Board of Pensions, and
American Bible Society. He said the
Methodist Church is doing work in
3S different countries, but the church
doing the strongest missionary work
in foreign fields was the Presby-
terian, to which he said, God bless
them"
The evening services were very in
teresting and devoted mostly to the
young people.

an idyllic and enchanted place. We
use such expressions as "carefree as
a child" as superlatives; we like to
talk of "a child's happy laughter"
and few of us are free from periodic
desires to go back to childhood and
shed our troubles.
Part Of the time, Of course, child
hood really is like that. But there is
another side to it, and few people but
children realize the fact.
For child is facing a world which
is utterly unknown; world which
may contain bright miracles but
which also holds plenty OF shadowy
corners where practically anything
can happen. There is much in it that
a child cannot hope to understand;
1t is world to be explored distrust-
fully, lest 1t disclose hurtful things
unexpectedly.
AS We pass out of childhood we for
get about the hobgoblins and remem-
Der only the sunny places; we forget
that every enchanted land has its
ogres as well as its fairy princesses.
But children know: and we might
remember that almost every child
wants, very badly, to grow up.

Chicago Wakes I'm

Chicago apparently means business
in its war on crime. GangsterS, rack
eteers and hoodlums, accustomed to
tax prosecutions, long delays, and to
bargaining for light sentences, are
discovering to their amazement that
quick trials and maximum sentences
are now the rule. Halt q dozen
judges have given up summer vaca-
tons to help clean up the crowded
criminal dockets.
The country will hope that the
present exhibition of activity in Chi
cago is not just another flash in the
pan. Chicago's lawlessness has been
national disgrace, and a challenge
to democratic government. The city
has been the pivot Of crime organ
lied on a national scale.
And while there can be nothing but
applause for Chicago's brave acts and
promises, 1t might not be amiss to
wonder why the efficacy of such
methods was not discovered before q
condition OF veritable anarchy de-
veloped. 4s

Relief Problem Remains

Better business, more jobs, and
higher wages have heartened a de-
pression-weary country. Times are
better and the march along the road
to recovery is gaining momentum.
While we rejoice at these develop
ments, we must not lose sight Of the
fact that the very real problem Of
providing relief for millions of desti-
tute unemployed remains acute.
States and cities, with treasures
drained, are finding 1t difficult to
provide food and shelter for those
who have not yet felt the benefits
Of improved conditions. The federal
government continues to give huge
sums to the states.
Even with the most favorable out
come In the efforts of the Recovery
Administration, and with stimulated
employment through expenditure Of
billions for construction, 1t will be
many months before relief will cease
to be consideration of first magni-
tude.

An Arbiter's Troubles
(MinneaDOliS TribUne)

Finding peaceful substitute for
the strike In the settlement of dis
putes between capital and labor Of
fers almost as many difficulties as
establishing legal institution for the
arbitration OF disputes between ma
lions. Fundamentally the difficulty
Is much the same. In both instances
neither party cares to be placed In
the position of surrendering SOW
ereignty to third party.
In the first test of its attempt to
put an end to all strikes and lockouts
during the emergency the recovery
administration has not been without
its difficulties. That 1t seems now to
be on the road to victory in the case
of the troubles in Pennsylvania coal
fields does not alter the fact that the
agreements have been reluctantly en-
tered into. While these difficulties
IN the case Of the Pennsylvania dis
pute may be largely the result Of the
work Of agitators, as the represent
atives of the unions allege, it Is also
evident that differences of opinion
that run deeper than that are also
involved.
More far-reaching, however, than
the settlement Of this strike is the
establishment Of an industrial reia-
tons board Of seven members which
will be charged with the task of ad-
Indicating industrial disputes and
ending strikes. Granted broad pow
ers a national board of this kind re-
calls similar expedients devised dur
Ing the war. With the support Of
public opinion generally this step is
consistent with the attempt Of the
national recovery administration to
develop war psychology in pursu-
ing its recovery program. The ora
tors Of tho NRA have frequently i'm
pressed upon the people that we are
engaged IN war no less serious than
the one IN which we took part In
1917.
/ For the purposes Of the recovery
campaign this patriotic psychology
can be made to serve certain definite
uses. It is Fastening the codification
Of industry and the patriotic appeal
Is to be the spear-head Of the ma
tional buying campaign. It is impor-
tant to remember, however, that con-
ditionS today are not exactly what
they were during the war when
strikes and the failure to buy bonds
would have rendered the persecution
OF that war difficult. But whether
it is In arbitrating labor disputes or
pressing recovery campaign those
whose memories 60 back Is years
have no desire to see the excuses of
that patriotic era revived in full
bloom.

They Helped Our Pride

OeSQlCe Lne QlSllluSlOnmenC TO
which we have been subjected in
these recent hard years, there are
some things which we like to think
Of as typically American. We may
be wrong but we love to believe our
selves a big-hearted people who can
be utterly selfless il necessity de-
mands.
This fine American concept got a
boost the other day in that little
Wisconsin village where nine men
persisted in their efforts to save a
village from forest fire. Disregard
ing orders to leave, they fought on
and were finally rewarded by saving
the buildings in the town.
To the village of Nelma their re-
solution was all-important. There
would be no such community today
-, had these men fled in the face OF
the flames.
To the rest of us these nine men
serve as an inspiration. They prove
that America, as we like to think OF
it, is far from dead.
