sickle above the altar, as Hitler
put the swastika above the cross,
nor did they attempt to use the
church for their own antire-
ligious purposes, as Hitler did.
Loyal to Nation and Faith.
When Hitler went into Russia,
he carried with him quantities of
rich altar cloths and churchly
vestments, with the cynical in
tention of buying the Russian
Orthodox clergy for his purposes.
But the Russian Church and
people, deeply distressed as both
have been by the suppression Of
religion, had the purity to know
that what they were being Of
fered was a treasonable conspir-
acy disguised in Christian vest
ments, and they repudiated it.
Because of that loyalty, to both
their country and their religion,
the church has been restored in
Russia, and is establishing con-
facts with the church through
out the world, notably with the
Anglicans.
OF all organized bodies of men
in this world, not excluding Or
ganized states, the religious faiths
have the most right and the
strongest duty. to enunciate
principles of peace.
For the creation of peace-of
organic harmony, between man
and man, and between man and
Gods the purpose of religion.
The great religious faiths stand
above nations. Their Congrega-
tions know no frontiers. Their
clergy minister to the human soul
All of them recognize a loyalty
above the interests of any ma
tion-namely the loyalty to God,
and to ethical and moral princi-
pies.
Long View of History.
The religious faiths also have
a long view of history. Crowns
and thrones have perished, king
doms rose and waned, but they
have survived, constant to faith
in a moral order of the universe,
and are heirs to an enormous wis
dom, born of intimate association
with the problems of the human
psyche and soul, in all countries,
and under all forms of govern
ment.
Absolutely essential to the crea-
ton Of real peace, which must
mean a peace which resolves diff
ferenceS, instead Of hardening and
perpetuatlng them, are principles
acceptable to large bodies of men
IN all countries, including those
OF our enemies. The pacifcation
of the world. after this war, is a
missionary task Craftsmanship
can be used as its instrument.
But the spirit cannot be created
out of nationalism and national
interests. for nationalism, raised
to the point where it has usurped
all values and laid hold on the
throne of God, is the basic cause
of this war.
Therefore it is essential that a
voice come out of the darkness to
speak for the human race. and for
principles untainted by national
interests. That this voice should
come from men of three creeds,
who mutually seek to serve God
and man, is altogether fitting and
is The correct answer TO Hitler.
So let US see, in another COL
umn, what they have to propose.

English to the masses when 1 picked
up Henry w. Bagley's Associated
Press report from London in which
he described the inventor of basic
English, one c. K Ogden. who
works out Of Cambridge University.
Mr.. Bagley said that Mr.. Ogden was
short, balding, bespectacled pro-
fcssor who had four umbrellas. three
walking sticks, was usually late for
his meals and sometimes worked
all night. That didn't bother me.
That didn't even interest me. Later
on, however, Mr.. Bagley said that
Professor Ogden lived a secluded
life in a hotel at Buxton
Has Been in Buxton.
Now, I have been to Buxton. I
have seen Buttons hotels. I have
walked Buxton's streets. I have
broken kippered herring with Bux-
ton residents. And, I want to tell
YOU, that any man who voluntarily
lives in Buxton hotel has no right

OF the builder of the hotel comes
out and says, "Yes?" Then YOU ask
for a room-and YOU can do this
in basic or old English and YOU
get the same reply.
Yes, We have room"
Every room you get in Buxton
is always on the fourth floor. There's
never a first, second, third or fifth
floor. And, of course, there's no
lift, or elevator, if I may lapse into
basic English myself.
The room is cold. The outlook
is dismal. The service is nil (basic,
again. So this is my premise: Prof.
c. K. Ogden in that dismal, dreary,

to change the English language.
Sure, YOU can get by on $50 words

If you wanted to see hyraxes in
their native home, you would need to
go to Africa, Arabia, Palestine or
Syria. They are not found in wild
state in any part of the New World,
or in Europe or Australia.
A few ZOOS have hyraxes which
they display to the public. In the
London Zoo, milk was fed to baby
hyrax after its mother died, and the
little one was kept alive.
Most hyraxes live in rock shelters.
They have such homes in Southern
Africa, in the Congo, in Ethiopia,
Syria and Arabia. Finding a good
opening amid heap of rocks, they

Several families of these small
animals may live together in kind
of colony. They are almost without
means of defense, but they can run
fairly fast and usually can get out
of the way of enemies. Some hunt
ers have reported finding a colony
guarded by a sentinel. The sentinel,
they declare, gives shrill cry to
warn the others of danger.
The flesh is eaten by people. being
especially priced in Southern Africa.
In that area the Beers call the
hyrax kip das," meaning rock
rabbit" There are pads on the
feet, and the pads stick SO well that
the animal can cling to a rock wall
which is straight up and down.
HyraXes have tails which are 50
short as to be hard to see. Their
thick fur is gray or brown.
Besides the rock-dwelling hyraxes,
| there are some which live in trees.
They climb the trunks very well. and
find hollow places in which to nest.

If We were looking for relatives OF
the elephant, We might think OF such
animals as the rhino and the hippo
potamuS, but we should hardly guess
that any little animal would be
classed as a relative.
Yet very small animal has that
honor. 1t is known as the "hyrax'
and is only about the size OF
rabbit
In past times many persons looked
on the hyrax as a kind OF rabbit.
They thought that 1t was one OF the
gnawing animals.
|, Close study of the teeth. however,
showed that it was a mistake to
class the hyrax with rabbits. Its
teeth are more like those of rhino
or an elephant, in certain important
