Democrats are opposed to a fourth
term, even in the House, where the
parties are almost evenly divided in
strength, it is entirely unlikely that
enough Democrats would join Re-
publicans in support of such a pro-
posal.
To date the legislatures of four
States, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and
Michigan have adopted resolutions
urging Congress to call a constitu-
tional convention to submit a two
term amendment to the States for
ratification. In all of these States
the Republicans hold majorities in
the legislatures. Similar resolutions
have been introduced in the legis-
latures of Nebraska and Missouri,
and await action. The Colorado
Senate has approved resolution,
but it has been buried in house COM
mittee, at least for the present.
The seriousness of the move-for
the fourth termers-may be enhanc-
ed if this proposal for a two-term
amendment should find support in
the legislatures of States of the
Democratic Solid South, where there
have been reports of rising opposition
to the New Deal administration in

sociated from his evil way Of life. They
were grossly inconsistent. Our world
today is agonizing in prayer that out OF
the strife of nations there may come,
and that speedily, an ordered and peace
full world From millions of firesides is
heard the urgent appeal that God may
bring to an end a struggle that may
issue in misery and worldwide disaster.
Day by day the prayers go up, and yet
the waste and horrors of war 60 on.
Like impotent disciples, seeking to heal
lad mentally diseased, We cry out:
why could not We cast out this evil
spirit?" To which the patient Master an
sWers: Because your prayers are unre-
lated to your habit of life
Prayer is one thing, and it is mighty
and prevailing force, but the consistent
discipline which fasting imposes, this is
indispensable to prayer: in fine, an &C
cepted way of life consistent with all that
prayer implies makes prayer the greatest
power man may exercise. The world
has terrible job on its hands today.
1t is being compelled to use all it has of
material strength to maintain cause
that it deeply believes to be righteous
one. 1t knows that behind the condi-
tions that have precipitated this struggle
lie causes with which it has to reckon.
It's prayers seem at times to prove inn
potent. Is is not true that we fail, seri-
ously, to heed the words of Christ?
There are adjustments to be made,
reordering of habits and practices to be
considered. the practical application of
Christ's teachings to be demonstrated,
before we shall make our prayers effec-
tive and effectual world mentally
sick and incapable of pursuing its nor
NAL way must be healed. Nothing is more
obvious than this. 1t will take more
than might of arms to accomplish it.
When our habit of life is made consist
ent with our religious professions; when
our doctrinal practice is sustained by the
practice which self-restraint and self
discipline impose, we shall hasten the
day when peace shall cover the earth
even as the waters cover the sea.

A Two-Term Amendment

The third term" issue seemingly
was disposed of in 1910, when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was reelected. 1t
has raised its head again, however,
largely because of fourth term"
talk. Opponents of White House
tenure for any man beyond eight
yearS-two four-year termsLhave
launched a novel attack. They are
proposing that the legislatures of at
least two thirds of the States shall
make application to Congress for the
call of a constitutional convention,
to which would be submitted pro-
posed amendment limiting a Presi-
dent to two terms of four years.
Under the terms of the ConStitu-
ton itself, should the legislatures Of
tWo-thirds of the States make such
application to Congress, that body
would be obliged to call constitu-
tional convention. A two term
amendment would in the end have
to be ratified by three fourths Of the
States, either through action of
State legislatures or State conven-
tionS, to become effective.
The approach is novel because this
method Of amending the Constitu-
ton has been left in allegiance.
The tWenty-one amendments which
have been adopted since 1887 were
proposed to the States by the Con-
gress. But it is now proposed that
the States call upon Congress for a
tv0-torm amendment.
The method has been adopted for
two reasons. The first is to put the
States on record, through their
elected legislatures. Obviously this
is designed to have effect on the 1914
presidential race. If many of the
States with large blocks Of votes in
the Electoral College should approve
a two-term amendment, it would be
at least warning to politicians pro-
posing fourth term.
The second reason is equally OBJ
ViouS. In the present Congress it
would be impossible. it is believed, to
obtain a tWo-thirdS vote in either
house for resolution proposing a
tWo-term amendment. Such action
would be regarded as a vote against
a fourth-term for Mr.. Roosevelt
although no one knows definitely
today whether he is to be a candi-
date to succeed himself. The Demo-
Gratis have a majority in both houses
of Congress, and while some of the

IMPOTENT PRAYERS
By the Right Rev JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. LII. d. D. c. L.,
Bishop OF WASHINGTON

One of the most dramatic incidents
recorded in the life of the Master con-
Germs situation where father had
brought his demented son to His dis
ciples importuning them to exercise the
evil spirit that dominated the mind of
his son. only to find they were incapable
of relieving him of his malady. Pres
emily Jesus comes into their midst, and
is challenged by the fathers distress and
the incapacity of His disciples to effect
a cure Immediately the Master ad-
dressed Himself to the sick youth, and
healed him.
What the disciples failed to do, He by
a word, accomplished, Recognizing His
divine power and their impotence, the
disciples cried out, Why could not we
cast him out?" To which the Master
replied, This kind cometh not forth but
by prayer and fasting" The weakness
of the disciples and their evident insuffl-
well as their lack of accepted discipline
which their faith imposed.
Repeatedly in the life of Christ the
demand was made upon Him to heal
broken body or a diseased mind. In
every instance He demanded that the
suppliant exercise supreme trust in His
power to heal "Canst thou believer"
was His demand. The many failures in
life common to most of us. are due to a
lack of faith in Him who has the power
to lift the burdens of those who from
one cause or another have been defeated
in attaining their coveted ambitions and
desires. Jesus definitely taught that
prayer and consistent life were the
prerequisites to fulillment of the things
we pray for.

votions crying:

Presidential Support

The announcement that the PreSi-
dent has Endorsed the broad prin-
ciples of proposed Senate resolution
calling for the active participa ton
of the United States in postwar peace
arrangements serves to correct an
earlier misinterpretation of his atti-
tude on this question.
The misunderstanding grew out of
Mr.. Roosevelt's Tuesday press confer
.ence and statement by Senator
,Connally, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee. At the press
conference the President said he had
no news on the resolution proposed
by Senators Ball, Burton, Hill and
Hatch. Earlier, Senator Connally
had said that neither the White
House nor the State Department has
indicated to me approval of the reso-
luton in its present form" The
effect of these comments was to give
the impression that the White House
was cool toward the proposal-an
impression which has been dissipated
by the disclosure that Mr.. Roosevelt
Is in sympathy with the broad OBJ
-1ectives of the resolution.
- The President, of course, has not
put himself in the position of advo-
eating adoption of the resolution,
and it is proper that he should re-
frain from doing so. for that is
matter which lies entirely within the
discretion of the Senate. But the
announcement of his attitude, never
theless, will have the effect of
encouraging the sponsors of the reso-
luton to go forward with their pro-
posal, knowing that the broad
objective sought is not out of har-
mony with the aims of the admins
tration nor apt to prove embarrassing
to the President in his relations with
other governments,
In all probability, this insures full
and free discussion, both in the
Senate and among the people, of the
central purpose of the resolution,
which is to give assurance that the
United States will play its part in
any appropriate international or
ganization that may be set up after
the war to maintain peace. And it is
important that there be timely con-
sideration of this matter. unless the
end of the war is to bring return
to the old balances of power" which
have not served to keep the peace
In the past.
1t remains to be seen. of course,
what the attitude of the people OF
the United States, as we'll as those
of other countries, will be. When
the war is over a collective system
of maintaining peace may or may
not be feasible But it is certain that
the problem is one that will have to
be faced and decided, and there
seems no good reason to shrink from
ANYTHING which stimulates consid-
Grafton of the question at this time.
We can hardly expect to reach final
and detailed conclusions while the
war is being fought, but a great deal
of future difficulty might be avoided
If an understanding could be worked
out on the broad and fundamental
principles which, for better or worse,

Of course, it might be argued that
these are purely academic distinc-

falrS, the quarterly magazine of the
American Peace Society, brings to-
gether in one place and to one useful
purpose eleven different statements
from an equal number of groups
concerning the role of religion in
postwar reconstruction. Each of the
afflrmations printed is an expression
of a different conception of the
spiritual basis of peace and civiliza-
ton, yet, taken in the aggregate, they
constitute a single caveat in the
name of Almighty God filed against
any attempt which might be made to
develop system of government for
the diverse peoples and nations of
the earth in neglect of His father
hood of them all
Beginning with the Christmas al
locution of Pope Plus XII in 1889 and
closing with the pronouncement
drawn up by thirty-eight Protestant
leaders participating in a conference
on January 10 last, the symposium
accepts the challenge of the present
tragic crisis to religious idealism. 1t
includes the letter of December 81,
1910, in which the late beloved
Cardinal Hinsley, Archbishop of
Westminster, joined with the mod
orator of the Free Church Federal
Council and the Archbishops of Cam
terbury and York to proclaim: THE
present evils in the world are due to
the failure of nations and peoples
to carry out the laws of God. No
permanent peace is possible in Eu-
rope unless the principles of the
Christian religion are made the
foundation of national policy and of
all social life
So self-evident is that sacred
proposition that it may be wondered
why it should be necessary to repeat
it again and again. The explanation
is to be discovered in the weight OF
the accumulated perversities of hu-
man conduct. Only those unac-
quainted with the history of the race
in the past eight or ten centuries
will think of the task of lifting the
burden of wickedness and sin from
the aching shoulders of mankind as
being easy Of accomplishment.
The power of greed and hatred, the
dynamic of organized violence and
the impact of rampant tyranny
when those forces are added to-
gether they can shake the globe.
That is what they have done, are
doing, will do so long as they remain
unopposed by superior spiritual
energy.
Certainly, the conflict is not new.
It. has been in progress for ages.
Different names have been applied to
it at different times, different condl-
tions have affected it, different
methods have been employed in at
tempts to correct it, The American
Peace Society has performed serv-
ice in publishing the most significant
recent proposals for liquidation not
merely of the strife, but likewise OF
it's causes. Each separate document
deserves careful study. In sum total
