Bishop Says Majority

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 9 amp
Following his recent return from
England and Scotland, where, as a
delegate, he attended two World

Conference on Life and Work.
Bishop S. l.. Green, representing
the A. M. e. church, disclosed sev-

in Stoekhold, is sponsored by the
Universal Christian Council and
the Conference on Faith and Order.

of elected delegates from such de-
nominations in 40 different coun-

this and other controversial issues,
such as labor, capital, nationalism.
etc. But the majority were militant
and un%relenting in a supreme eff

leadership of both individuals and
groups who would betray the pro-

the world that it in turn might
purge it and make This sinful world
a tit place in which to live.
Our supreme work should and
must be first among ourselves

divided and our hatred of each 9TH

purely white delegates, whether
American, German, French, Eng

could observe the bond of unity
that held them; but of the darker

American Negro, the East Indian,
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mexi-

VANITY IN WOMAN

A natural vanity in woman is
normal. Be sure to hold on tc
some of it no matter how old you
are, for without some vanity one is
2pt to grow careless of appearance
and take on the What does it
matter attitude. The woman who
clings to a bit of her girlish van
ity gazes often into the mirror
with a view Of correcting her
faults and of bettering her appear
ance. Don't grow into sad and
drab female who has no lingering
feeling that she has some hold

NAL; but man can be trained to
peaceful pursuits. and to peaceful
methods and means of settling his
disputes. It is because of this
hopeful element in mans char
acter, in his makeup, that the
Missionaries" of today have en-
barked upon what may look like
the impossible task of changing
fighting man in Galilean.
When we calmly look at the re-
cord of the last war, and contem-
plate just what actually came out
of all the bloodshed and destruc-
ton Of property, we are moved, by
reason, to exert our efforts in be-
half Of peace. War accomplishes
little, if anything at all. But
when we realize what is possible,
what may happen in the. heat of
passion; how quickly men may be-
come raving and raging beasts, we
are face to- face with the very real
problem of changing the nature
Of man by training him differently
by changing the old martial airs
to songs Of, reason and common
sense. What does it profit to us
to charge the Hun ! in Europe if
we are still to be faced with lynch
ing and burnings at home? These
are questions we may well ponder,
while considering how we can help
