w. w. Reid

Forty-two schools, institutes, gra-
duate courses, conferences and
camps will be held throughout var
ious parts OF the United States dur
ing the spring and summer for the
training and refreshing" Of Pro-
testant ministers, it is announced
by the Home Missions Council of
North America and the Federal
Council of Christ which sponsor the
gatherings. The schools vary from
four days to two weeks in length.
Some will admit women ministers.
'The purpose of the schools" says
the announcement, lis to agquaint
rural ministers with tested methods
of town and country church work,
to assist them in securing an under
standing of the trends and problems
of modern country life to develop
Fellowship among ministers serving
this field, and to increase associa-
ton of ministers with agricultural
leaders" Practice courses will be
taught by farm leaders.

Two leaders of the Presbyterian
Church in the U. s. A. have recent
ly returned from six-months
journey by airplane through the
Philippines, Thailand, India and At
RIGA, where they held series of
Spiritual fellowship conferences"
with missionaries and national
church leaders of these lands. They
are DR.. Phillips P. Elliott, minister
of the First Presbyterian Church,
Brooklyn, N. Y, and DR.. Charles T..
Leber, member of the staff of the
Board Of Foreign Missions OF the
denomination. "The work of the
Christian church is carrying on de-
spite the war;" they say.
The Rev. James A. Hunter, Con-
gregational missionary in Tungh-
sien, North China, and director of
the Lu Ho Rural Service Center
there, has made an important contri-
button to the food supply Of North
China during period of ten years
of helping improve the laying quail
tiles of native Chinese poultry.
Starting with flock, selected at
random, whose average annual pro-
duction was n eggs, he has over the
decade so improved the strain that
the flock average now ISL eggs per
year, while there is an individual
record Of 257 eggs. Now he is distri-
buting to eager Chinese farmers
chicks from the improved native
strain as well as chicks from three
standard breeds of poultry he has
introduced into the area.
One hundred twenty-three Pro-
testant mission boards and agencies
of the United States and Canada ex-
pended more than $20,000,0O0 last
year In services ON every continent
and on scores of islands around
the world. In round numbers, Pro-
testant missionary expenditures in
China were $3,656,000; in India,
Burma and Ceylon, $4,526,000; in
Africa, $2,122,O00; in Latin Amer
lea, $2,212,000.

THINKING TOWARD PEACE IN
THESE TIMES

Recently listened with interest
to the discussion on the question
"Can we win the war without hate"
by an Army Officer and a clergyman
on a Town Meeting program. They
brought out SO wildly what / have
long felt, that war is a savage game
entered into by nations prepared to
fight to finish, other nations busy
themselves building defenses and
allow suspicion and fear to rule
their attitudes toward their neigh
hors. Then when the blow is struck
it is too late to avert it.
Our President has said that this
nation will not only win the war
but it will win the peace. If the
peace is to be dictated peace it
will have to be won with hate as well
as will the war. 1t was interesting
that the Army Officer would SO
frankly admit that war could not be
fought and won without hate and to
infer that the reason the present war
seemed to be going rather strongly
one sided was because the Axis
seemed to have the monopoly on
hate.
The Clergyman defended valient-
ly the ideal of war without hate but
failed to stress the fact that Spirit
ual life is above and beyond physi-
cal life and that only as it is direct
ed by life as lived by the Savior
Jesus Christ does it deserve to come
out triumphant from such con-
flict. Christ's Kingdom is the only
kingdom which has stood for the
past 1000 years and it has stood be-
cause it is Spiritual Kingdom.
The United States has splendid
heritage of freedom largely because
it has stood for religious and civil
liberty, and has, though perhaps
faulty striven to overcome racial
prejudice. The fact that the latter
has been SO poorly maintained has
had its part in bringing us into the
present world conflict.
If we are to look for more en-
during peace after the present con-
f1ict is over is it not essential that
this peace be based on a recognition
of the rights Of all people to life,
liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness". Such peace cannot be
won by hate, it must be built by
good will and understanding. Let all
peacemakers be busy in these war
times helping to build the peace.
like to think that Matt 1926
"all they that take the sword shall
perish by the sword means they
who will live by the sword shall
perish by the sword. In Matt 5-5 we
have the assurance that "the meek
shall inherit the earth.
Fear not them which kill the
body but are not able to kill the
soul, but rather fear him who is
able to destroy both body and soul
in He'll. Matt 1928 "War is HELP.
General Grant.
These things have I spoken unto
you, that in me We might have peace.
In the world We shall have tribula-
ton, but be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world. John 1888.

Few Heavyweight Babies

Out of $3.50 babies delivered at
the st. Louis City hospital in the past
five years there were only 102 babies
who weighed more than nine
pounds. This is IL per cent.
According to the hospital staff, its
studies of the large babies gives lit
tie ground for the proud fathers to
boast of the abnormal size of their
offspring. The large baby, the staff
reported, is not a sign of an extra
healthy condition.
''In fact, it is liable to be iabil-
ity, not only at the time Of birth,
but also for some years afterward,"
said one staff member.

Christian Science: The Religion
of Comfort and True Friendship
by
Oscar Graham Peeke, C.S.B.
of Kansas City, Missouri
Member of the Board of Lectureship OF
The Mother Church, The First Church OF
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts
A great many people today are con-
WINGED that it is most unwise to become
so obsessed with worldly affairs that
only passing thought is given to the
things of Spirit. 1t cannot be denied
that the realm of matter is in a con-
slant state of fluctuation. Its restless,
changing conditions result from the
restlessness and instability of mortal.
material thought. This accounts for
the occurrence and recurrence OF
various distributing conditions. Gov
ernmental upheavals, labor unrest,
wars, pestilences, diasters are among
these recurring conditions. In this
so-called material realm discomfort
and disorder appear to be intermin-
able. and death inevitable. Also the
belief is general that God knows all
about these things, and many are con-
WINGED that it is His will that they
should be. How strange that in this
lamentable medley Of materialism the
constant but futile search for peace
and happiness should go on and on!
True Existence Is Spiritual
The teachings of Christian Science,
which are identical with those of
Christ Jesus, show the incongruity Of
all beliefs about life in material
realm. Our great Master came to
teach about life in the kingdom OF
heaven, which is here, at hand. He
taught about the orderliness, gram
deur, and beauty of true living. He
taught that God is Life, and that
therefore mans real existence is for
ever harmonious. In his parable Of
the good shepherd he indicated that all
earnest followers Of his teachings
should realize this truth and enjoy
Lies abundant blessings. 81 am
come" he said, "that they might have
life, and that they might have it more
abundantly."
Christian Scientists regard the Bible
as their guide to that true state of
existence about which Jesus SO loved
to teach. The opening chapter in that
sacred volume records Gods spiritual
and only creation; also it is there in
dicated that God intended that mans
existence should be inestimably grand
and idealistic, for the statement is
made that God created man in His
own image and likeness, and that He
gave man dominion over all the earth.
The teachings of Christ Jesus and Of
Christian Science amplify that state

John was nearly always asso-

handsome swarthy, smiling AL
banian named Christie, whose
father was q prime minister of
that country. I know Christo's
last name but for the life of me
I cannot spell II. Anyway. no

He was the headwaiter of any

is now a goodwill man for a
New York brewery.
John thinks the Montmarte,
up over the Winter Garden at
Fiftieth and Broadway. which
opened around 1907 and operat-
ed through the furious '20s, was
the most exclusive and one of
the biggest money getting night
clubs in the history of the street.
1t was owned by the Salvin-
Thompson combination viii C h
had total of nine cafes and
night clubs, and the Shuberts,
but it was managed by suave
Charley Journal, a Frenchman.
whose agreement with the own
ers was that no one could inter-
fere with him.
1T WAS the only establishment
Il in the chain that was not
--bcoked for reservations out uf
the central office and Journal
was a martinez in picking his
clientele.
He turned down offers OF
thousands OF dollars from Gus
toners he deemed undesirable
who wanted choice tables. Not
even the owners could veto his
rules.
Charley never took a tip from
a customer entering the place
though he might accept q gra-
tuity from one leaving as an ex-
preston Of satisfaction with the
service and food.
The Montmarte seated only
325 but IL did $60,0 900 a month
for years, not including liquor.
1t was closed one month in the
summer. Joan Sawyer. the
dancer. was the greatest attrac-
ton the place ever had, and for
that matter. the greatest any
place ever had ss far as q class
draw Is concerned.
She was all alone In that re-
spect, then and since. Journal
