Sadly divided as Is the church,
and bitter as are its sectarianisms,
it nevertheless has kept the torch
of the one gospel burning and lifted
high. Our own day is witnessing
q rebirth of tolerance and co-opera-
ton and unity.
Our worlds present emergency Is
turning mems minds everywhere to
basic thoughts of God, and to the
renewed and all-potent place Of the
church In shaping character. From
the forgotten islands Of the Pacific
have come evidences Of the trans
forming power of Christianity upon
lives long stepped in barbarism.
Empires and cities have risen and
fallen since Christ established His
church; yet she has survived them
all, permeating life with His teach
ings. All that is best in our civiliza-
ton derives from Him.
And His leadership will yet save
our imperiled world. Slowly, surely
the church is awaking to her pres
ent mission. Hers it is to put a di-
vine imperative into the hearts o1
men. There are deep movings today
among the masses of mankind. The
left" to which society is steadily
tending, is at its core the Kingdom
of Heaven program of life.

U. S. PRISONERS HELD

Meanwhile, another sore point
arose to plague Allied-Russian rela-
lions when the Soviet delayed the
return of American and British
prisoners liberated by the Red
Army. At first the Russians gave
the excuse that transportation was
difficult, which was true But when
we proposed sending transport
planes to Poland to carry our men
out, it was indicated that this
would be up TO the Lublin- Polish
Government, since most of the
prisoners are in Poland
The conclusion seems to be that
U S.-British prisoners are being
held in Poland as a sort OF hostage
to force recognition of the Lublin
Government, which SO far we have
refused TO recognize and declined to
admit to San Francisco.
Last complication in our dis
tressing and tangled Russian rela-
lions has been delay in the entry
Of U. S. troops into Berlin Under
the Yalta Pact, a Central Control
Commission consisting o. the
