 Philadelphia, Oct 21-WPl- The Rev. Dr. E. Frank Salmon, rector of Holy Trinity church, has suggested . three-year mo- ratorium on sermons.
 "That figure may be exagger- ated," he said, but in my 0pin- ion there Is far too much preaching. It Is bad for you. Anybody at least 2S years old should be able to find the way to God by himself"
 According to Dr. Salmon, the plethora of sermons threatens to make congregations "spiritu- ally blase."

Q. What might be considered the basis for the oft-repeated as- sertion that Christianity and d m ocracy are inextricably bound up together?
 A. One of the fundamental principles of democracy has been defined as that of "rey orence for humanity" This Is the heart of that rising tide of social faith and life which, for want of a better term, we call democracy. Not things come first, but men; not property, but persons; not institutions, but people. It is man as man who is sacred" This principle lies also at the center of religion.
 Q. What is the Penny Cat echism"?
 A. The Penny Catechism" forms the basis of religious teaching in all Roman Catholic schools in England. It has been approved by the archbishops and bishops of both England and Wales and is used in all their dioceSes.

safer method is with forceps small piece Of cotton

GENEVA, Jan. 20 (R.-The League
OF Nations Council today invited
League members to consult with
similarly interested powers'-mean-

A resolution adopted by the
Council said members should be

China's representative, DR.. VI

resolution cannot be satisfactory to
the Chinese government" but he
accepted it.
DR.. Koo declared that for the first
