on. But let each man take heed
how he buildeth" The disputes
and divided loyalties to different re-
ligious leaders caused Paul to state
the simple fact that all their teach
'ers had part--co~Workers AID not
build on Christ, the chief corner
stone. Progress is only made by
giving due credit to all having made
"a contribution, and profit by each
others experience.
v. H. For other foundation
can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ" There is
which to build our religious faith
and life. There is no substitute for
Christ.

be made manifest; for the day shall
declare it, because it is revealed in
fire; and the fire itself shall reveal
each mans work of what sort it is.
Gods judgment will reveal the right
elements in a Christian character;
the facts of life yill be SO clear that
each one can see his record as made
on earth so that in the final analy~

V. Is. 'If ang mans work shall
be burned, he shall suffer loss; but
he himself shall be saved; yet SO as
by fire." We should learn the rela-

it shall profit us nothing if we gain
the whole world and yet lose our
own soul Works of ignorance and
error cannot stand even though
done conscientiOusly and in good
faith.

coloring on the woody worm, the
number of times the hens turn
around on the nests before laying

He came Armistice day in a quiet
sort Of way and buZzed about our
town; he nosed his craft, tilted it
fore and aft, then darted up, then
down. He acted like a hawk eyeing
a neighbor's flock as he swooped
short and very low; then as he
swept over homes and lots, he caus-
ed some serious thoughts, for fare
we'll and alas, "he's out of gas and
don't know where to CO." Then
with sweep he would bank it deep
and cut such capers in the air that
every time he shot down above our
town, upward shot our hair. He
saw our town, from the upside down
as seen by the man in the moon, but
he could not see our hearts with
their stops and their starts, as he
enliVened a dull afternoon.

Christian Workers, / Corinthians
8: 10-15; Galatians 6:6-1O, for Sun
day Nov. 21:
What are the agencies that un-
dermine a Christian worker?
How overcome them?
What are the rewards a faithful
Christian worker will receive?
What is the best cure for weari-
ness?
What does work for Christ re-
quire?
Clericus says: "Our life is SOW
ing in which all our myraid
thoughts anG actions are like fall
ing seeds which are either golden
grains and righteousness, good
character, or unkindnesses, in1us-

right sowing is an individual re-

tors. According to DIR. Harold M.
Robinson, general secretary of the
board, the campaign is to be under-
taken on the. basis of a decision that
it is necessary to strengthen small,
denomina tional colleges financially,
to enable them to compete with
state Institutions
The immediate creation of &
world council of churches has been
recommended to Protestant denomi-
nations, by both the conference on
life and work which met this sum-
mer in Oxford, England, and the
conference on faith and order which
was held at Edinburgh, Scotland
The proposed council would consist
of a mem bership of 200 to meet ev-
cry five years, and an executive com
mittee of so to meet at least once
annually. While the recommends
ton does not mean an immediate
united church, it does mean a def,
mite step forward in the field of CO.
operative thought and action The
hope was expressed at both confer
ences that other ecumenical move
ments in the Christian church may
be brought into fellowship with this
one.
