renowned miSSlonary-eVa
| who spoke before a gathering in
the Metropolitan Presbyterian
I Church.
The Mems Club Of the Y NJ. C. A.
was addressed by DR.. George Heaton,
pastor of the First Baptist Church
of LynChburg, Va. at a dinner last
night at the Swedish Smorgasbord
Restaurant. There, it was again
emphasized that Christianity can
solve the Nation S and the world S
ills, but, DR.. Heaton added;
The future can be shaped by
Christians insofar as they are
willing that this future shall be
Christian, and not merely a restora-
ton Of any past social structure
God isn't making the headlines,
and the radio commentators have no
word to say about what He is doing,
the speaker declared. But history
reveals that the ways of life en-
barrassing to God are always
doomed. There will always be in
the end the triumph of God who
made men for just one way of life. -
The True Solution.
OF all the forces bidding for the
task of shaping the future-na-
tionalism, paganism, secularism and
Christianity-only Christianity has
the true solution. he said.
Opening his seminar on World
Relations" at Calvary Baptist
Church yesterday afternoon, DR..
Adolf Keller of, Geneva, Switzer-
land. outlined what he feels should
be the first task of Christianity in
its efforts to bring about a new world
order.
He said the church must unite
and lay down the principles on
which a new world order and new
Internal tional relationship can be
built up.
But the church is up against
something that will require united
approach if it is to offer any prac-
tical solution" DR., Keller said. 1T
must discover new responsibility
for world conditions and for peace.
The League Of Nations, the speak
er said. was the first modern effort
of the nations to live together IN
peace on a basis of international
Justice, liberty and good will, 1t
failed. he said, because such an or
ganization could not be built on a
nationalistic basis 1t didn't live
up to the height of its own ideals.
u. S. Spectator Attitude.
DR.. Keller added: America took
100 much of a spectator attitude
Unfortunately the American visitors
to the League-and there were
many-sat mostly in the gallery and
would not share in this new re-
sponsibility of mankind"
The world wouldn't be in its pres
ent predicament. he said, If all ma
tions had co-operated in the spirit
of the League.
In recent years. DR.. Keller said
| the churches have come together
more closely and have formed a
Universal Council of Churches
which may be better prepared to
give an answer than one single
church could" Even in the midst
of war. he said, the church can dc
a necessary work which helps to
prepare peace at later date.
In his second seminar today DR..
Keller planned to continue the dis
cussion on world affairs by review
ing the effect of the war on church
life on the continent of Europe,
Hitler has been successful largely
