The amazing part of Nebu-
chadnezzar's dream was that
'the Stone cut out without
hands" smote the image and
"the Stone became great
mountain and filled the whole
EARTH prefiguring that "the
God of heaven shall set up a
kingdom which shall never be
destroyed" Daniel was not
afraid to let the proud Gentle
king know that all man-made
governments and systems
would be utterly destroyed,
and that the rule of God would
be established upon the whole
earth. This dream will find it's
complete fulfillment in the
Coming of Christ in Glory,
when "the kingdoms of this
world are become the King
dom of our Lord, and of His
Christ; and He shall reign for
ever"

SENT THE CLOSE OF
THE GENTLE TIMES -

Dan. TT, 1926; Zech. ~:

10.
The definite time for the
destruction of Gentle world
governments is made clear by
the fact that the great image
was smitten on it's ''ten toes"
This could not have taken
place at Christ's first Coming
in the flesh, because the Ro-
man government was then a
compact universal empire.
Rome had not been organized
as yet into ''two legs" She did
not yet have "ten toes:" there
fore the crushing blow of "the
Stone" was not then delivered,
and the Kingdom of Heaven
was not yet established. Jesus
was indeed born 'King of the
Jews" and He proclaimed the
message 'the Kingdom of
Heaven is at hand" but "He
came to His own and His own
received Him not.
Rome was a great world en-
pire for centuries after Christ's
time, but in $50 A. D., Con-
stantine the Great transferred
the Capital to Constantinople.

man Empire continued to 476

Chinese Nationalist
Reported in Landing
On 5hantung Coast
BY the Assoeiossd Prsss

TSingtao, China Aug. 30.-A
new landing of Chinese govern
ment forces on the Shantung
coast was reported in pro-gov-
ernment dispatches today as in
creasling land, sea and air ac-
tivitieS pointed to a campaign
designed to clear the important
Shantung peninsula Of Com
munistS.
The government accounts said the
landing was at an inlet called
Tashanchi, so miles northeast of
Tsingtao, following naval barrage
which destroyed Communist shore
defenses. There were no details.
The area was within 10 miles of
where a United States Marine
search party exchanged fire with
unidentified Chinese Thursday night
while hunting a Marine flyer who
crash landed on the beach.
U. S. Vessels Offshore.
A United States Navy spokesman
said a concentration Of American
vessels was standing offshore while
attempts were being made to con-
tact friendly Chinese and rescue or
learn the fate of the unidentified
airman. He said no information had
been obtained yet.
The Chinese Navy, meanwhile,
gave details of its first amphibious
operation on the Shantung coast
last Tuesday, 1t said that after
10-hour bombardment, American
trained, American-equipped Chinese
forces went ashore at Shihkiuso, 80
miles southwest of Tsingtao, quickly
took the town and landed 10000
troops in three days. These troops
were last reported to have reached
six miles inland.
The Chinese used landing craft
obtained by the Chinese govern
ment from the United States after
the war and were trained in the
Tsingtao naval training center by
United States naval personnel.
IuSH OH SUUH1uuulSt ohoCs
Meanwhile, an overland force was
reported pushing on the Communist
base of Chucheng, 40 miles north of
the landing site.
Government fiiers accommodating
over the Shantung peninsula north
of Tsingtao reported large fires just
west of Chefoo, Communist head
quarters for the entire zone. They
speculated that the Communists
might be destroying supplies in an
ticipation of a government attack.
The government contends that the
Shantung ports, particularly Chefoo
are terminals of Communist supply
lines from Soviet-held Dairen in
Manchuria. The government failed
in an attempt to capture Chefoo
last fall.

Churches Must Fight
Against Depression,
Federal Council Says

Churches must take the lead in
studying means to combat "recur-
rent business depressions in which
unemployment rots the souls of
men" the 23d annual Labor Sun
day message of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in Ameri-
ca declared.
The message, released by the
councils Department of the Church
and Economic Life, will be read to-
day in churches throughout the
country.
we recognize that this is prob
lem of profound complexity," the
statement said, but I'VE propose to
the utmost of our ability to create
background of Christian principle
in which the study, discussions and
plans for action to meet the situa-
ton will proceed"
Hour Areas Noted.
Four areas in which the church
could help were noted:
l. There must be vigorous
effort to see that no congregation is
O SAdAoo NLlu4 III vi a ldIldl SlluI III . .
local church-family is the place to
lay a foundation of sure and sympa-
thetic understanding of other people
and of why they act as they do"
2. The church must reject the
Idea that most employers are greedy
conspirators who combine in gigan-
tic soulless corporate entities" or
that labor organizations ARE US
ually rabble led by demagogues. :"
The church should "see the problems
of the responsible leaders of labor
and of management" and seek ways
of helping them meet these situa-
tions.
Partnership Called For
g.. 1t must provide society
"where constant adaptation to social
change" is normal with the demand
that men shall 60 beyond exped-
iency, or even bare justice, and shall
work for a partnership based on
Christian goodwill"
4. Recognizing the individual as
a part of many groups and inter-
ests, the church will always appeal
to the conscience of the single per-
son and call upon him to assert in,
his group what that conscience
says
The message. also warned against
the corruption of power" in busi-
ness and labor as an everpresent
problem Of democracy. 1t asserted
American democracy, derived 80
largely from the independent
churches of 800 and more years
ago" gives us hope "the church
today can greatly help to solve this
problem"
