As head of the Lutheran Church in Sweden, he has filled a large place. He has moreover, exerted a world-wide his re- markable talents, friendliness and untiring energy. He has been called "the Protestant Pope," one reason being that no clergyman has equalled him in finding open doors of welcome and influence in all the Churches outside of Rome. He preached in Canterbury Cathedral in 1926; was . persona grata with the Cal- vinists at Geneva; opened his cathedral in Stockholm in 121 to the Baptists, when they were niceting there as a world-conven- tion; and was the high-light of the Universal Conference on Life and Work which met also in Stockholm. He had been a pro- fessor of Comparative Religion and had the ability to see and appreciate the best in all the Churches. At the Lausanne Con- ference in 1927 he and Bishop Prent took the leading parts, his obility to speak most of the len- guages was of great value. . * - In the American news the three largest Methodist Episcopal churches are sald to be Pirst Chureh, Los Angeles, with 4,500 inembers; Lakewood, Clevéland, with 4,278, and Metropolitan in Detroit, with 4,044 members.

Prophets, But Not Inspired Few utterances by prominent pub- lic men in Great Britain have at- tracted such wide attention in re- cent years, or caused so much dis- may as the following words of Sir Arthur Keith, of the Royal College of Surgeons, famous British anthro- pologist, in his address as Rector of University : "Nature keeps her human orchard healthy by pruning; was is her pruning- hook. We cannot dispense with her services. This harsh and repugnant forecast of men's future is wrung from me .\... Crushing replies were instantly forthcoming from every quarter, and these might be summed up in the words of Sir Herbert Barker in The Daily Mail, who character- izes the statement as "one of the mest dangerous ever made by a man of science , . . a perversion of the hard incontrovertible facts." of the intellectuals of Great Britain are to be found on the side of the militarists to-day. The metaphor of the pruning- book is a sgriking one, but it is utterly misleading. As several have been quick to point out, war is not a pruning-hook. A pruning-hook is used to op off the feeble and use- elss branches so that the strong and useful may Rrow stronger and more useful. War is the exact opposite of all that, and might better be des- cribed as a scythe which mows down everything in its path. It is even worse than that, for it actual- ly picks out and destroys the very Swher of the nation's manhood and out! The dismal doctrine of the British scientist was echoed by at least one kindred spirit in the New World when General Smedley D. Butler delivered that oratorical salvo to the sons and daughters of Bunker Hill. He, too, seems to have appropriated a prophet's mantle. be sure to come, he declared. Not in our day, perhaps, or in our child- ren's duy. But they would come. And he undertook to tell the ladies and gentlemen of Charlestown just when wars would end : "They would end when the men of Charlestown should be willing to let other men butcher their women and trample on their. little children." 1t was the professional war-maker speaking, the dunderheaded militar- ist trotting out arguments that were threadbare even before went ont of fashion. And sq Isaiah was mistaken, after all, in his great dream. When he which men should beat their spears into pruning-hooks he was speaking out. of his turn. He ought to have known that spears were pruning- hooks already and did not require to be taken to the smith for any alter- | the ation.

(IP - LAST MESSAGE While death was waiting to usher him into eternal life, Dr. "Laue Paluer Brooks thought of his stu- ents. He had been president of Baylor University, in Texas, for twenty- nine years, and his last class was soon to gradua?s. With numbing hand he had signed their diplomas, and now, while there were a few moments left, he . want: ed to send them a message of faith and cheer. It was read to 'them during the graduation exercises, af- ter his own graduation. The message will be as cheering tomorrow as to-day, and is well worth repeating. These are Dr. Brooks' words as they are quoted by the Associated Press: "I stand on the border of mortal life, but I face eternal life. "I look backward to the years of the past to see all pettiness, all tri- viality, shrink into nothing, and dis- appear, "Adverse criticism has no mean- ing now. Only the worth-while things, the constructive things, the things that have been built for the good of mankind and the glory of God count now. "There is beauty, there is joy, and there is laughter in life--as there ought to be. "But remember, my students, not to regard lightly nor to ridicule the sacred things, those worth-while things. Hold them dear, cherish them, for they alone will sustain you in the end. .And remember, too, that only through work, and, oft- times, through hardships, may they be obtained, "But the comp ion of bl and sweetness at the last will glorify every hour of work and every. heart- ache from hardship. "Do not face the future with tim- idity or with fear. Face it solidly, courageously, joyously, Have faith in what it holds, "My own faith as 1 approach cternity grows stronger day by day. The faith I have had in life is pro- jected into this vast future toward which I travel now. "I know that I go to an all-pow- erful God, wherever He may be. 1 know He is a personality who created man in His image. Beyond that I have no knowledge--no fear --only faith."--The Literary Digest. A Christian Solution To Present Problem In a statement to the Canadian press, Mr. A. J. Nesbitt, the senior nartner in the well known financial Louse of A. Nesbitt. Thomas and Company, urges more dependence on the Divine will in the present world depression. He maintains in all sincerity that "the moment this nation turns to God there will be a heaven-sent revival sweep this land, and the fear and distrust and hate now prevalent will give place 10 faith and hope and e; industry shall improve and prosperity and peace shall follow." Such a statement coming from one of the keenest business minds of the country cannot help but ar- rest the attention of all men how- ever interested they may be in their own business affairs; for to'advance in very positive terms, as Mr, Nes- bitt has done, the Christian rine of man's redemption through faith as the real solution for our present economic ills requires courage of a high order, and we, like countless thousands of others, respect and ad- mire him for the brave stand he has taken, and this notwithstandi the fact that the appeal will fi echo in the heart of every Tight thinking man. and pon i Lest we forget it would be well willy remind ourselves that is the basis of our moral ny that through its teachings the old "Ado- monic code of "an-eye-for-an-eye" was clanged to that of the "brother. | of man", the principle on which the British Em- pire has been built, All her institu- tions and her Hh constitution are upon it: is rived strength ha part of the | empires rH B Sinie of Secusity Fo neople stee ages in the est depths of slavery and Jper- stition, Kiven them fidence in a new ideal of national has made white 'men 'exile selves for the heat part of. their lives to the uttermost part carth so that the British be: respected ¢ 'he Christian duty. aol ions net closer otheriand, hecaut in accept the EE ty of autonomy adopte: the same uh combnon-- pits which ich; HR indgtlie. the real justice in oo the. teachings of Christ | self, !

Summer Revelry By Frank Talbot Smith The wind is up, and on the hills the flowers : Dance with a happy motion to and fro; : The poplar wood before his coming cowers, And bends in sudden conster- nation low. The clouds are flying softly overhead ; y The sky is iike an azure ocean deep, Serene and calm, splendor spread, Unmindful of the great wind's boisterous sweep. in smiling Upon the air the tiny birds are And buffeted about with spor- tive glee; Like craft on swelling ocean tos- sed and thrown Labors from port to port the clumsy bee. The butterfly, on gay and gaudy wings, Paises 2 and flutters in the gold- Soin of {ne wind, a light and lovely thing, She dances at his bidding here and there. The waves are : dancing, glitter- ing in the sun, And merrily make music on the e Of the blue lake as on swift feet they run Upon the sand with low rever- bérant roar, All nature is in gay and festive Flowers, leaves and birds, the . 'water and the sky Make beautitul the summer soli- tade With motions, looks and sounds of revelry.
