ILLUSTRATED TALK
 ATCHURCH FORUM
Dr. Robert C., Murphy De- scribes South Georgia
 in Antarctic Circle

South Georgia, an island close to the Antarctic Circle, was suject of an illustrated lecture last night by Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy, a member of the staff of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History of New York, speaking at the Second Congregational church forum where he substituted for Dr.. Roy Chapman Andrews, who was una ble to speak because of illness.
 The island was described as bar ren and inhabited by few animals but many birds. It was described many years ago by the British ex- plorer, Captain James Cook, who made trips through the south Pa cific, watching the transit of Venus at a point near the present settlement of Papeete, on the island of Tahiti, Society Islands, French Oceania, in 1769. Captain Cook was the discoverer of the island and named it for King George III.
 Mostly Norwegian whalers are visitors at the island, he said, with sometimes as many as 500 of these Scandinavians processing the whales they harpoon in adjacent waters.
 He showed pictures of whaling and many forms of bird life. includ- ing the large albatroSs which some times has wing spread of Il feet and more, although not as much as IT feet. as inaccurately reported, he said.

Great Britain, entertained the pres ent king at dinner and had as guests, in addition to the Atlee, Ar thur Greenwood, the deputy leader of the Labor opposition; A. V. AL exander, Tom Williams, Fred Mar shall and J. c. Ede.
 In former Labor administrations Atlee was Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and later postmaster general, Greenwood was minister Of health and Alexander was first lord of the admiralty.
 In 1923 it was given out that Lady Astor threw her party so the king could get to know personally some of the leading men in the Labor party.
 In 1888 it was given out that Lord Baldwin threw his party for the same reason.
 OMEN
 HUNTERS
 In both cases the general public well understood why Tories gave the dinner.
 Had the king been invited by a Labor leader to meet Labor leaders it would have looked as if the king were mixing in politics and showing bias.
 But when Tory host has Labor guests it accentuates the social and personal side.
 The Astor dinner party of 1923 was followed in January, 1924, by the formation of the first Labor government England ever had.
 The omen hunters are wonder ing whether the dinner party of 1888 is to be followed in 1889 by another Labor government. It is understood the present king, like his father before him, thor oughly enjoyed himself. Like his fellow guests, he was dinner jacketed and like many of them he pulled out his pipe and had a grand time putting away after the port was passed.
 STRAIGHT TALKING
 The Labor leaders told the king funny stories. But they did more than that. They expressed to him pointedly and honestly what they thought of home and foreign af- fairs.
 For a constitutional sovereign who stands above all parties and must favor none, it was very val- uable evening. So much so that it is understood the king. plans to have himself invited to more dinners of the same informal sort.

demands goals, and, purposes A popular American novelist writing to a friend said: "One can't gc on forever being a bright, srnart, naughty thing. One has to find a direction or fake one"
 Now beyond all questions the search for Christian truth leads to- ward Christian personality and Christian fellowship. Christian per- sonality and Christian community are the two main consequences in human life of the vital progress of Christian truth" The genius of Christian faith lies in its rev renee for personality The condemnation of nationalism, of racialism, of mill tarism, of communism, of secular ism, of materialism, of cynicism, lies in the fact that not one of these philosophies has any reverence for human values, for human person. ality corresponding to that of the Christian faith.

 patient Over Seasonal Changes in Policies

'We get impatient, feel that we have a right to get impatient, with an administration, a government that shifts and changes it's pcl,cies from season to season and from year to year." said Rev. pr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Sec"ud Congregational church in his ser- mon yesterday morning entitled, Christian Truth, Christian Per- sonality, Christian Community
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 Sometimes we think that oul pres ident's only consistency lies ix. his readiness to appropriate another billion, more or less, to meet every pressing problem. The leaders of the great democracies abroad seem just as vague, just as confused. although not as financially extravagant. in their policies. The dictatorS or the contrary follow certain set patterns. You can make fairly accurate ere cast of their foreign policy for months and years to come. But on the record or recent years r., one can do more than hazard a vague guess as to what the statesmen of Great Britain and France are like ly to do, what course they re like ly to follow. Beyond the prote ,tion of their own territories and heir own empires, beyond meeting the threat of the moment, we have no idea what their aims and goals are. Hence the inherent, fatal weakness of the democracies in the face Of determined and planned aggression.
 As with governments, so with the Christian church. We cannot meet the needs of this confused, chaotic, despairing world without having some inner unity, some fundamen- tai aims, some inspiring watchwords, some dynamic purposes, some clear and definite goals. As with govern ments, so with individuals. We can not drift into strength of character, into strong Christian conviction, into effective Christian service.
