fascinating to watch. Human traits
are reflected in their conduct-they
compete among themselves, quarrel
and fight in the deplorable human
manner, and then suddenly and in
explicably they adopt e punctilious
etiquette worthy of princes, stand po-
liteIy aside in difference to tardy
neighbors and in other ways manifest
the fraternal instinct which on occa-
sion results in cooperation for the
common good.
Only careful and experienced stu
dents of ornithological science will be
able to distinguish between the varie-
ties appearing, but the rank and file
of folk who are classed as amateurs
soon will discover the fundamental
fact about the relation, established
ages ago, between flying creatures and
man. The bond is one of friendship
Hence the spiritual significance of the
current appeal to feed the birds ir
their season of distress. John Keats
visioned the desolation of a world
without bird life. In his curiously
beautiful La Belle Dame Sans Merci'
he sums up the dreadful isolation ir
the memorable phrase:
The sedge is withered from the lake
and no birds sing.

Travel Plan Time.

Strangely enough, perhaps, Winter
is the season for planning vacation
tours. While cold winds howl and
snow covers the fields. people who
have the travel habit sit by their
f1reSides with guide books and steam
ship and railway folders and indulge
themselves in the pleasant pastime of
seeing strange lands and meeting
strange peoples In imagination.
British publishers, especially. have
developed the art of the printed trav-
elogue. For many years they have
specialized in the production of at
tractive volumes of views and explain
atory text. The educational signi-
ficance Of their enterprise has been
distinctly notable. Writers and art
lists employed in the work have been
competent for the task. and the
craftsmanship manifested cuStomarily
has been of the highest order.
The English editions of the BaedekeI
guides, of course, are not illustrated
but for the encyclopaedia information
they supply they are famous: and with
them rank the so-called blue books
edited by Findlay Muirhead, the Muir
ray guides to India and Japan and the
Rider guides to Bermuda, the West In
dies, Florida, California and New
York.
Also abundantly useful for study are
the Things Seen" series. the Me
dieval Towns" series, the "Wayfarer'
series, the Highways and Byways'
series and the "Argonaut" series, all
available in American editions and In

A CHAPLAIN'S VIEWS
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. IL d. D. C. L.
Bishop of Washington

\ A chaplain dealing with young men
in one of the Civilian Conservation
Corps camps gives us his opinions
concerning these lads, their tastes and
aptitudes. His comments are worthy
Of large consideration. He says: THE
C. c. c. is, whether intended so or
not, a colossal effort to attack the
problems of the post-adoleScent boy,
and there is much that the church in
general can learn from the religious
activities of these camps" Studying
these boys he goes on to say: 1T may
be true enough that males are gregari-
Gus at all ages, but the gang instinct
shows itself most between IT and 81.
That explains the tendency Of boys in
the camps to pull for their own crowd.
when few Of them start the way.
They do not care about denomina-
tional lines" He then speaks Of the
influence the gang spirit exercises in
their games and pastimes, and the
utter freedom from class conscious
ness and distinctions, Of those things
that tend to create divisions and
claSsificationS. It is this observation
that leads him to believe that ''in
dealing with boys too much emphasis
upon denominational differences must
be avoided"
This chaplain has a fine conception
of his duties and. with excellent judg-
ment, he is bringing his ministry to
the lads in way that is acceptable to
them and designed to strengthen in
them those moral and spiritual quail
ties that are indispensable to char
acter development. I do not assume
that in pursuing his course he is I'M
mindful of his own household of faith,
he appraises his work in its larger and
more appealing aspects and he had
the right method Of approach to the
receptive minds Of his hearers. As he
sees it, one of the largest obligations
upon us as a people is the adequate
moral training of our youth. He be-
lieyeS that our technique needs recon-
Struction, based upon a finer under
standing of what the youth needs and
the right method of approach TO his
receptive mind.
Confirmation Of this has been re-
peatedly brought home to me by the
deans of our great colleges and uni
versities. We had our attention called
to an example of the folly of the wrong
method by one who spoke of an in
stance where a preacher of distinction
took for his theme before large group
of college lads the Spiritual Values
of the Seven Lamps in the Book of
Revelation" his discourse lasting an
hour and IS minutes. Obviously, he

created situation that made chapel
attendance unpopular for months fol-
lowing. What our chaplain friend
wrote us concerning his experience in
the camps brought forcibly to mind
the weighty obligation that rests upon
clergy and laity alike, an obligation
never greater than now, to conduct
ourselves, yes, so to exemplify the
great principles given us by Christ
that in our contacts with the young
we shall at all. times and under all
conditions give convincing demonstra-
ton of the inestimable value CT that
way of life that He demonstrated as
the only way. Our social and eco
nomic ills are so pressing that they
crowd out the consideration Of these
weighty matters. We employ our
manifold agencies. we invoke our leg
islative powers, we set up variety
Of engaging mechanisms to restore our
stability and our prosperity-al this
we do with ardor and high expectancy
that they will prove infallible rem
edies, but that which lies nearest our
cherished institutions, that which
above all else Is indispensable to our
continuing peace and happiness is
treated with scant consideration or
wilfully neglected.
wrote last Sunday on "Recaptur-
ing the Youth" and before the ink
was dry a high-minded chaplain who
is dealing with a fundamental ques-
ton gives me his observations and
clearly indicates both the perils and
the opportunities of the present stu
alton as it concerns the youth. That
we are at the cross roads Of a new era
Is clearly evident. Two ways open be-
fore us, the way Of carefree indiffer-
ence. Of neglect, that is concerned
alone about material advantage: the
way Of Christian living in all its i'm
plications that leads ultimately to the
strengthening and enrichment of
character, the building up, especially
in those who are to make or mar our
future as q people. of those vital things
that we believe are indispensable to
our security and permanence. The
home, the church and the school are
our greatest assets where they con-
serve these things. Let them be
neglected and we are on the way to
looseness of living, moral degenera-
tion and the decay Of those basic vir-
tues upon which this Nation has been
laboriouSly builded. The Christian
manhood and womanhood OF America
is challenged today as it has rarely
been. Will it in this day of its test
ing have the wisdom and the vision
to follow the open, If unfamiliar, way
that alone leads to immortality?

Lost Continents.

The National Geographic Society
has released an interesting report on
the legends and scientific theories of
land areas which have vanished.
Steady progress in mapping the ocean
floor by means of echo soundings, the
authors say, is being made, and the
time may come when facts concerning
the lost continents may replace legends
which have intrigued human imagina-
tion for centuries.
Popular folklore in different parts
of the world preserves stories of cat
aclysmic foundations Of type repre-
sented by the scriptural account of
the deluge. Floods and tidal waves
play their part in the cosmographic
theology of widely separated nations
and tribes, and scholars have felt
that the universally of such notions
is indicative of certain justification
for their eXistence-their dissemina-
ton testifles to basis of reality for
them.
The tale Of Atlantis, for example,
was credited by Solon and Plato, is
preserved in the name of the Atlantic
Ocean and is supported by the pres
ence of the so-called mid-Atlantic
rise, extending from Iceland to the
latitude of Cape Horn. And in the
Pacific Ocean there is similar sub
marine elevation of continental size
known as the Easter Island rise. The
Azores on the one side of the globe
and the Carolines and Maiden Island
on the other may be, in sober fact,
the relics Of territories which once
provided dwelling space for millions
of people. No proof to the contrary
is available, and explorers appear to
be agreed that none ever is likely
to be.
On the contrary, hypothesis Of the
character of Ernst Haeckel's projected
Lemuria in the Indian Ocean between
Madagascar and Southern Asia in
crease in importance as the decades
pass and men come to know more ac-
curately the unseen depths over which
they sail or steam. Geologists. in
deed, confirm a general theory in
which a proposed great south CONT
nent, encircling the entire planet,
would include Africa tAustralia. South

Peace Difficulties.


Premier Flandin and Foreign Min
lister Laval of France are due in Lon
don this week, to discuss with the
British government fresh ways and
means of strengthening the chronic
ally unstable European peace struc-
ture. The will for progress in that
direction is universal. but the way to
achievement is beSet with difficulties.
Great Britain recently evolved what
it considered relatively simple plan
to pacify the Continent and in par
ticular to iron out Franco-G German
differences. Looking upon Germany'S
re-entry into the League of Nations as
a primary step to that end, the British
government proposed that German re-
armament, which has been under
taken in violation of the treaty of
Versailles, should be legalized in re-
turn for the Reich'S signature to
Geneva arms limitation convention.
| France has indicated a readiness to
! consider such a solution only upon
condition that the British are willing
to extend their commitments under
the Locarno treaty to come to Frances
aid in the event of German aggression.
The Macdonald Baldwin govern
ment has a huge parliamentary ma
jority, but it is more than doubtful
that it could convince the British
people of the desirability Of any
further entangling alliances, which
might involve them in another Euro
pean war, over questions not directly
| affecting British interests. John Bulls
islands are just emerging with some
finality from the devastating economic
effects of the World War and the
! thought of embarking upon engage
mentS that might eventually result in
return of depression conditions is
/ anything but palatable at this time.
London has heard that in addition
! to British security guarantee as the
price of recognizing German rearma-
ment, France would expect an under
standing that the French army is en-
titled to maintain a definite superb
ority over the German army. France
also seeks the definite conclusion of
the proposed pact guaranteeing the
independence of Austria. London
newspapers which commonly reflect
government opinion are already out
lining the difficulties that lie in the
path of an Anglo-French arrange
ment on the comprehensive lines
which the Quai d'Orsay Graves.
Under the circumstances, the pros
pect for truly effective agreement is
not very brilliant. 1t looks as If M.
Laval's diplomatic laurels, as the re-
suit of his Midwinter peregrinations,
would be confined to the Franco
italian accord he recently sealed with
Premier Mussolini at Rome.

At every turn OF fate,
Sometimes rejecting joy complete,
Sometimes d sorrow great.
Perhaps We must without regret,
In faith that does not swerve.
Be ruled by some who seem to get
What they did not deserve.
And sometimes we must shed a tear
Because a friend so true
Finds dark misfortune lowering nea
That never was his due.
And we must keep our faces set
And help him hold his nerve,
When he is one of those who get
What they did not deserve.
