POLICY OF BIC
AR MA ME- n 7 s
Prime Minister Baldwin
May Hold Administra-
ton Next Five Years
By FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Aug. S.-CUP)--
Britain's parliament is expected
to recess early this month and re-
convene late in October, pending
an early dissolution and general
elections.
Election forecasts have of late
veered sharply in favor of the
government, which is now expect
ed to lose most of its immense
majority Of more than 500 seats,
but nevertheless retain strong
margin.
Prospects are that the national
poll, awaited early next year, will
put Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win at the head of the cabinet for
another five years. A vista Of
many years in the role of ellis
Majesty's royal opposition" ap-
pears to be in store for the Labor
party.
Up to last April, commentators
hesitated to predict return of
the present government to power
as a certainty. Labor optimists at
that time envisaged the emer%-
ence of a socialist government
from the corning elections as a
real possibility. The more gloomy
among labor's leaders forcshad-
owed a majority Of 80 for the
conservatives and liberal and ma
tionaLlabor fragments which con-
stitu@e the ruling coalition. Now

year, it appeared that the labor
party was maxine phenomenal

DR.. Martir Treats Subject
From Four Different
Angles

~. w. StHlman Martins ad-
dress on "Perfcction" was heard
By ? good sized c3nrrr~ation at
TIE city hall last night. -Four
scripture texts were used as tpi-
lows: Heb. 9:S-12. This deals
with the perfection of conscience.
The finished and perfect will Of
Jesus Christ was cOntrasted to
the unfinished and imperfect
work Of the Jewish priests.
The perfection of conscience
depends upon a perfect sacrifice.
Only such sacrifice could re-
sin question, he declared. Gods
move guilt and forever settle the
son made the zone sacrifice for
sins forever, and it was dcclar-
ed that every believer now stands
in the presence of God by vir-
tue Of this = crifice, Justified
from ali things.
Phil. 3:l5. deals with the per-
lection Of the object of the
christians love and worship. In
, this perfection it was said here
we are in the new creation.
Hcre we are having fellowship
with Jesus Christ. Christ died to
give a perfect conscience. Christ
loves to give a perfect object for
the Christians faith and love to
rest upon. Reholding-wc are
changed into his image. No rest
less effort, no anxious toilin",
are now necessary. No lora!
Eordagc, we gaze upon Christ by
faith. His in'age cngraven unon
the heart. This is the true idea
Of Christianity"
The text Matt. 5:44-iS was
declared to demonstrate per
lection in the principle of life
"To be perfect as good is per
Get does not refer to the Father
sinlessncss, but His kindness, il
was said. This lovely phase of
Christian perfection calls Il to

March resulted in 2 conservative
ma icrity of only 3,24S, compared
with 1881 majority Of 1854.
Then the tide turned. The West
Aberdeen by-election on May 2

date, although in 1929 the same
constituency had voted a labor
member into parliament. The
laborite ballots OF May 2 even

GOVERNMENT GAINS
GROUND
The national government has
recovered much of its lost ground
while labor after preliminary
gains has again slipped.
Among the causes of this anti
labor development. the resurg-
ence of nationalistic sentiment
before and during the Royal Jubi-
lee has been regarded as an i'm
portant factor. The government
has indignantly refuted charges
that jubilee "hallyhoo," as the
labor leader, Sir Stafford Grips,
termed it. has been exploited for
party politics.
Moreover. during the period in
which the political wind shifted
against the labor opposition,
Chancellor of the EXcheGucr Ne
Vile Chamberlain issued his an
nual BUDGET. That unpopular doc
umont seemed to encounter an
unusually favorable reception.
PROSPERITY BOASTS
BROADCAST
In the meantime, the govern
ment's boasts as to returning
prosperity have been flashed on
movie screens, placarded on bill
boards and Sonorously echoed
from broadcasting headquarters.
This propaganda has made a
strong impression on the elector-
ate.
During the same period, more
over, Germany's rearmament has
stirred the country. A government
which embarked on a costly pro
gram of military, naval and aerial
preparedness a few years ago
would have been bounded out OF
office. Now that Europe is con-
sidcred to be drifting toward war
again. Britons are reconciled to
the preparedness policy and even
the laboritc opposition has omit
+ ted making this a paramount IS
sue.

OF all the beauty to be seen in
~ the Orient, among the most
awe-inspiring is the Temple of
Heaven in Pieping, where the en-
peror knelt ard acknowledged his
inferority to Heaven alone.
This famous shrine covers more
than 600 acres, the outstanding
building being the Temple of the
Happy Year. Here, on circular
stone before the covered altar, the
emperor knelt in prayer. He was
then in the center of nine concen-
trio circles of marble stones and so
in the center of the universe.
China pictured this famous tenn
pie in its issue of 1909 on the first
anniversary of the reign of Hsuan
