Show Great Need of Today Is Return to the Idea of Human Partnership By DR. RALPH SOCKMAN (Episcopal), New York. is too much patronage in American life today, and too partnership. As our citizenry has been increasingly from the soil to the city, we have changed the tempo of our thinking from the slower processes of the seasons to the and ticker tapes of the market place. The race of comexchanges quick life is so swift that we do not try to keep pace with one another. petitive The home illustrates the fact that parents do too much for their children and too little with them. The present generation of youth is more heavily patronized than ever were its predecessors. Somewhere between a bolshevism of adolescents and a paternalism of parents there ought to be a partnership in which the experiences of the elders are blended with experiments of the youngers. In philanthropy the old friendly personal helpfulness of our simpler TriERE earlier communities is being replaced by organized impersonal charity. In religion we have now largely a mere professional propaganda financed by silent spectators. We hire ministers to preach our sermons, evangelists to recruit our church members and musicians to voice our religious motives, while the laity simply sit hack and provide the funds. Such patronage can never be an adequate substitute for the partnership methods of the early church. Champions exclu- sive sillimanite insulator is practically impervious to carbon and oily deposits.

TIIROOP, Washington great deal of talk and discussion at the present time on the conflict of education as represented primarily by pure science, and religion as understood in the minds of many, but this is a most unfortunate and unnecessary condition. To most of the true scientists and sincere religionists of the present day there is no real conflict. All the facts of nature and life and the universe are too unfathomable for us to attribute them to any merely blindly operating force, llow this entire world of ours and all the universe could function without some power and guide greater than human comprehension and understanding is beyond the real scientists to fathom. What we need most is charity and tolerance on all sides. Religious education is to address itself not only to the correction of our present ills, but it renders special service as a great prophylactic agent in huWe have been working on the theory that somewhere man society. back in the early history of the races, the train of civilization ran of! the track, and that the business of religion has been to send out a wrecking crew', to extricate bruised humanity from the wreckage. The church has served as a kind of spiritual hospital for wounded men. But the big job of the church through religious education is to' teach men how to run the train so that there will be no wreck.

A great monument stands on the spot which once witnessed the the pomp nnd circumstance of war surrender of a British army. But, nearby, the smooth, green sod gives no sign that the soli beneath holds the dust of a young Pennsylvania backwoodsman, one of the many who died In defense of American liberty. Who was he? Just an Unknown Soldier of the Itevolutlon ! Before the Ink on his enlistment papers In the First infantry was scarcely dry, another boy, who had neer before been beyond the confines of the acres of the little New England farm where he was born, was on bis way to the western frontier, there to serve In a lonely outpost called Fort Dearborn. It was as though he were on another planet, so far as communication with the world he had known was concerned. But somelkow he managed to live through the cold, desolate winters and the hot, summers Rmld the swamps along the Chicago river.

That night there was a hellish orgy In the Indian camp nnd the pitying stars looked down upon a writhing figure at the stake. Wlmt If this was one of the acts in the mighty drama called the Winning of the West? Wlmt If the future was to see one of the world's greatest cities rise on these sandy shores? Could that knowledge have been recompense for the fiery agony of this New England lad above w hose unmarked grave the hurrjing feet of Chicago's millions today heat an endless requiem? Who was he? An Unknown Soldier of the War of 1S12! Though some of his neighbors denounced It as an unholy war Into which President Polk was leading the nation, a certain Middle Western farm boy was one of the first to respond when the President on May lit. 1S10, called for 50,000 volunteers to drive the Mexicans back across the ltlo Grande.

The next year he was one of a detachment which set out through the Philippine Jungle In pursuit of a party of Moro raiders. There was a deathlike hush as they pushed on through the steaming heat of the Jungle. A moment later Its stillness was shattered by the sounds of men comengaged In furious bat, bayonet against bolo, a swarm of little brown men clawing at a group of swearing, desperately-strugglin- g khaki-clafigures and bearing them down to earth by sheer force of numbers.

Training children of European immigrants in the culture of thei parents countries seems to me to be the best method of preventing a rift between America and Europe. There is no use denying that a rift has opened up between America and Europe since the war. We are in danger of losing the unity of Western civilization and if the world breaks into two units a third party max arise, probably Asia headed by Russia. The civilization of America and Europe is what we believe to be the best in the world, and the link between America and Europe seems to be the second generation immigrants. There must be people on both sides of the Atlantic who understand each other if there is to be unity of peace and unity of culture.

Inventions and Discoveries Have Not Minimized Reality and Presence of God By REV. W. HAROLD WEIGLE, Jr., New York. In spite of what the pessimists of today maintain, it is possible tc live a usual life in an unusual wav. It is astonishing how hungry the human heart is today for things spiritual, and this applies to the person liv ing in the slums and baik streets as well as to those living on Tark avenue. While there are many disturbing factors in our national life yet this is not an irreligious age. The prolific birth of new cults is an evidence that people are very conscious of their need for Cod. The great inventions and discoveries in this generation do not ir tire least minimize the reality and presence of Cod. We must study duwr to the spiritual depths in which Cod alone can he found. And this is not a closed secret. Cod can lie found by any heart which diligently seel? Him. But we must seek and accept. The church today is endangered hv the loss of initial enthusiasm for a great caue and the loss of the keenness of disciploship among people who once enjoyed an ardent and profound religious life. Men of Wealth Realizing That Riches Constitute Public Responsibility By DR. ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN, New York. Wealth is one of the severest tests of character. Mental cares in con nection with the possession of wealth frequently cause physical and nervous breakdown, while the abundance of physical comfort and luxury tends to produce an even more serious malady, spiritual anemia.' The rich man who is wise, acts upon the principle that wealth is public responsibility, and that therefore they who have it are obliged tc ise it in such a manner as to set an example in the art of living. America point with pride and satisfaction to ;ts two richest men. Mr. Ford and Mr. Rockefeller, as examples of sane and useful living. Even with g rente, pride may w point to the sons of those men, whose careers pre sent a g'otKving contrast with the proverbial sons of the rich." The Widower Grief Senator N'orbeck, discussing his bird bill, said in Washington: I hope there Is no hypocrisy In the love for birds that la voiced everywhere. I hope there'a nothing in it of tlie widower. This widower went on terribly, terribly, at the church services for his wife. A friend the next day condoled with him, saying he had never seen such awful grief. All, George, said tlie widower, Its a pity you didnt get out to the cemetery.
