There was military testimony
of two command officers of 1t.
Gilbert's own company, who de-
scribed the untenable position

self at Sangju, Korea. The
/ prosecution alleged that the
accused refused to return to the
extreme forward outpost which

Regiment was trying to hold
under severe main attack. The
defense commended that Gilbert
left the outpost after consulta-
ton with a number of other Of
ficerS to prepare to cover the
company's withdrawal.
The prosecution witnesses
were, Co. Horton v. White, who
had been commander Of the oath

had preferred the charges
against Gilbert; 1t. Col. Paul F.
Roberts, executive officer of the

Holy Communion and preached
the Anniversary sermon, when
he formally announced to the
Congregation the appointment of
the Rev. Nathan Wright Jr. to
serve at ST. Cyprian's as Vicar
and assistant to the Rector.
Speaking for himself and Mrs.
Ferguson, Rev. Ferguson thanked
God-in the spirit of humility
for their 80 years of ministry
and service at st. Cyprian's. In a
less serious vein, he reminded
the Congregation that he had
served them throughout the ad-
IuipisttrattiioIls OF five Presidents lts.
Harding, Coolidge, Hoover,
Roosevelt and Truman. He
stated that during this period of
his ministry at st. Cyprian's he
has Baptized 1900 persons; pre-
scented 1900 for Confirmation, and
officiated at over 500 marriages.
At the 1880 o'clock Service,
Rev. Ferguson presented a class
of 33 candidates to The Right
Rev Bishop Norman B. Nash,
D. D., for the Holy Rite of Con-
firmation. Speaking at this Serv-
ice, Bishop Nash stressed the
wisdom of looking within. He
said that God is working His way

to us especially when we pray.

With the principle in mind
that "The greatest study of
man is man. Rosicrucians
strive to awaken in their stud
emit members awareness Of their
own natures. Special attention
is given to the development Of
the inner qualities, since it is
factual that the inner self is
the directing power Of all mans
achievements; that in proper
ton as his inner self is enlarged
Is man capable OF mastering
the many affairs of his life.
Thus, among the many men,
berS throughout the world, who
seek the orders guidance in
the expression of their latent
abilities, who personally make
many simple experiments and
SO test for themselves the laws
and principles disclosed to them,
are all classes of peoples, men
and women; including humble
laborers that seek to better
themselves, as also the more
successful in the business world,
physicians, attorneys, scientists,
artists, editors, educators and
authors.
Instruction reaches this vast
membership chiefly by mail.
Consequently, the Order send
ing out thousands of pieces of
correspondence every month, in
many languages, has one of the
largest mail order business on
the Pacific Coast. Several
workers are required in this
service, where the mailing
department is equipped with all
and promptneSs in attention to
communications.
Having now made acquaint-
ance with the Order, you may
effectively ask: What has RoSi-
crucianiSm to offer me? What
would afflliation gain me?n
Those who are members will
give you many answers. Asso-
citation of kindred minds, some
will assure you, is sweet. When
persons with common interests
can communicate and exchange
ideas, the mental powers are
alert; the mind, keen; and the
heart, both hopeful and
cheerful.
But that would not constitute
the whole or main satisfaction.
From comments of those who
have bettered themselves and
have achieved success in fields
where before aspiration seemed
an absurdity. or from those who
in some profession or industry
could not at first experience ap-
preciable success, will be gained
the benefits derived from the
teachings. Yet even such dis
closures would not reveal the
real benefit, the essential worth
that brings satisfaction to these
members.

THE MOSLEM CHALLENGE

Across the center of Asia, from the Dardanelles to Pakistan, lies a Mohammedan world. This Moslem world extends itself along the en- tire coast of North Africa, with spurs as far as the Philippines and Indonesia. Altogether the Moslems include a population of at least 200 100000 human beings.
 In Europe, MoslemS are found in Russia (The Crimea and Cau- casus and the environs of Odessa and in the Balkans, particularly Albania. Although Turkey is now regardd as an Asiatic state, it is as European as many countries that are geographically included in that category. Turkey is the only Moslem state which is fully in the political orbit of Western Eu- rope. although the United States is hopeful that Iran will remain politically in our corner.
 China contains a considerable Mohammedan population, particu- larly in Sinkiang, Kansu, Shensi and Shantung areas. These people are often not Chinese racially, be-

Over 250 scouts and their friends crowded into the Grade School Au- ditorium yesterday afternoon for the annual scout week court of honor, presided over by executive board member Kenneth s. Glenn. The attendance trophy, for best percentage of attendance of scouts and friends, was won for the se- cond time by the Methodist Church troop 609, Robert ASte, scoutmaster.

cisive in history, for had the Mos lems defeated the Christians, the history of Europe-not only the political but the religious and philosophic history of the Western World-would have been altogether different. Mosques rather than churches. Mohammed rather than Jesus would have dominated the life of the people.
 In the battle for power which is now being fought throughout the world. three forces vie with each other: The Christian, Moslem ana Marxist.
 It is not altogether as simple as this, however: Turkey, Moslem country, is allied to the United States. a Christian country; the United States is seeking to hold the good will of Iran and all the Arab countries; Israel, Jewish State. is an enclave within the Moslem world and for political pur- roses is wholly dependent upon the United States for continued exis- tence.
 (Even if only the private contri- buttons from American Jews are considered, this is obviously trueD
 In a word, the lines of rela- tionship are not absolutely clear. Even such areas as Sinkiang and Pakistan are uncertain as to their positions and Iran lives in constant terror of being conquered by Marx ism. Only Turkey stands out as ag- gressively -Marxist, although It borders on Soviet Russia.
 It is clear from Soviet plans and tactics, that they do not regard western Europe worth the powder. The Kremlin apparently feels that the will to resist is not in the European heart and that they can take any European country when ever they want to. But Asia IS now their central problem and they are organizing to take the whole of it. 4
 And in that program an immde- fate objective is Turkey. There they have so far been stopped by S- United States. It must be assumed by them that if they seize Turkey or Greece or Japan, the United States will, or even might, go to war. As they wish to avoid war for the present, they do not make thrust at Turkey.
 The United States has missed the significance of the huge Mos lem world. It can be barrier be- tween the Christian and the Marx ist worlds; it can throw it's full strength to either the Christian or Marzist worlds. Today, the Moslems are as split as the Christians ln their attitude toward the MarXists. Should the Moslems acquire leader ship and unity, they could take the balance of power. t.'

 A large part of this Moslem world is now under the political domina- ton of Soviet Russia. Iran, the Arab and Syrian peoples are not under Russian control but they feel the pressures from the north, Pax istan feels that pressure from Af- ghanistan.
 The whole of this area, except Pakistan and Western China, was once held by the Osmanli Empire often referred to as the Ottoman Turks. This empire was so potent that it reached into Europe as far as Spain and was actually moving into France and might have es- tablished a Moslem empire in west tern Europe but for Charles Mar tel who defeated the Saracen at the battle of Tours in 732. The Ottoman Empire was finally stopped in it's advances into Eastern Europe at the gates of Vienna by John Sob- ieski in 1883; and by the calam- itous war with Russia which ended in 1774 in the unfavorable treaty of Kuchuk Kainarji.
