PERU WELCOMES NOTE.
Hopes That Stimson Move Will Secure
Peace.

LIMA, Peru, January 26 P)-Advices
tilat Secretary StimSon is taking steps
looking to the peaceful settlement OF
the Leticia controversy were general!
welcomed here last night.
Students of the situation, who have
regarded optimistically these latest de-
veIopments, said efforts of the United
States to marshal world opinion against
a possible conflict between Peru and
Colombia over the little jungle port
have already clarified the atmosphere.
The Associated Press learned in
authoritative circles that the Peruvian
government has proposed mod1flcatlon
of the Brazilian formula.
Brazil, after seeking to act as medi-
ator, proposed that Peru transfer Letlcla
to Brazil, which would return the city
to Colombia.
Now Peru suggests that Leticia should
be transferred to Brazil for retention
pending the outcome Of negotiations
by special persuasion commission
composed of Colombians and Peruvians
This commission. Peru suggests, would
try to persuade those who seized Leticla
to abandon it.
RIO DE JANEIRO, January 26 (P).-
Although the foreign office remained
non-committal on the Leticia situation,
it was reliably learned last night that
1t plans to issue a joint note to Amer
ican nations about a settlement OF the
dispute. An official announcement to
this effect is expected in two or three

churches should be glad for the fact
that some one has been willing to
keep a record of their church.
While these records in many cases
are not perfect, they are far and
away ahead of records kept in the
head and buried with the said heads.
We find as we read the history of
Tabor, that the story keeps coming
to mind of the woman the preacher
read out of a certain church. He
said, "She won't pray, pay, or go to
church" SO out they put her.
Then we have had folks who do five
cents worth of praying when they
should give $50 in cash, and then
wonder why the Lord don't open
the windows and shower them and
the church with cups running over.
1t might be good for your church if
you would get the records of your
church, and read that part where
folks were coming in, and note the
contributors and contribution
then record where there is nothing
doing and then check, feel your
pulse. Some churches continue to
exist. perhaps because God Al
