Peace Table RELIGION
Urged By Dr.. Szoo

made by the Rev. DR.. Joseph r.
Sizoo, rector of the Collegiate
Church OF st. Nicholas. New York,
yesterday at the daily MONDAY
lenten service in the Church OF the
Epiphany.
Charging that this war came be-
cause of "a moral collapse in the
world" and not for other reasons,
DR.. Sizoo told the $500 worshippers
who crowded the church that the
church does not want to infringe
on government, but does want to
influence it by being its conscience.
Organized religion can do this, y
he continued, "by keeping alive a
tension between what is and what
should be-" He asserted men should
compromise as long as improvement
may be made even step by step"
and warned against those who lose
everything by insisting on perfec-
tion. But we must not lose sight of

compromising" he added.
DR.. Sizoo also called on the church
to encourage worthy men to enter
politics as mo plan on earth has
value unless the men making them
are those we can trust" The church
also must direct attention ito the
spiritual values as there is no hope
for an enduring peace until we come
to the reconversion Of the human
spirit"
The Rev. DR.. Peter Marshall,
pastor Of New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church, will speak at the
$50 pm. service today and at the
