This led to dissensions, and in 1855. there was a‘ revolt attended by violence. In l856‘ a Lnited States revenue cutter paid the place a visit and “King” Strang went down to greet the officers. As he was standing upon the deck, two of his former followers rose from a place of concealment and opened fire on him with revolvers. He fell mortally wounded. but was taken back to Voree, where he was tended by his first and only lawful wife. who had remained‘ faithful to him throughout his career, though never accepting Mormonism. In a short time, his colony vanished and long ago has been forgotten. ' (Rev. Floyd W. Homkins, D. D.) If Christians were what. they ought to be, there would be no chaos intho world today. Christianity is a part of our very life. We cannot imagine its ab- sence. Into every sphere of life. there enter the elements of love. prayer. worship, faith and hope, all of which are so necessary in the. religion of Jesus Christ. What kind of Christians shoul’d men he tmlav? Should we be like the men in the. time of Christ? _ _ 'l‘ho truth as taught and lived by Christ. roimains forever the same: it is "10 application that varies.

To many God means little. it‘ anything. To those. of us who claim to be his children. he is not known as he should be. Does he enter into our everyday life? Do we bring our troubles to him? There is a tendency to banish God from daily life. Uul' modern life is taint.- ed with questionings and doubt. What. We need to do is get near to God and let him control our‘lives. \V“‘I “I'v- -\ Self. Modern Christianity has a' strong tendency to be egotistical! This is clearly illustrated in thei kind of prayers we ofl‘er, which are largely personal requests for our- selves. A prayer should be made up in the following order: First. a per- iod of silence for adoration. then a silence to allow God to speak. next thanksgiving and intercession. with self last. Christianity is a matter of individual direction. largely. God can work in us only when we Sllr~ render ourselves to him and allow him to work his will. We. are not sufficient unto ourselves. Our relation to the world. A Christian does not live for himself alone. One of the fundamentals of i‘lhristianity is service. When a person knows that he has the desire and the power to serve. he is sure of his close contact. with Christ. The whole world is crying out for timl. and it liehooves i‘Vt‘I‘YOIlP who considers himself a Christian to be ready to give whatevm' help he has at his command. .\ modern church should have these characteristics: The vision of a perefct world. in order that we may be filled with the hope and joy of a true optimist. l-‘ull energv of life in the service Full energy of life in the service. of God. - .-\ spirit of sympathy. and con- semusness of God‘s presence. THE CHRISTIAN FOR-TODAY Christ Against War War is the most colossal and ruin- ous social sin that afflicts mankind today. It is utterly and irremedi- ably unchristian. However armed conflict in times past may have served an evolutionary purpose, it has now become not only futile but suicidal, and reco ition of this fact‘ is necessary to t o continuance of civilization. The war system means everything which Jesus did not mean. It is a more blatant denial of every Christian doctrine about God and man than all the theoetiâ€" cal atheists on earth ever could de- vise. The quarrels between funda- mentalists and liberals, .high churcn- men. broad churchmen and low churchmen, are tithing mint. anise and cummin if the church does not deal with this supreme moral is- sue of our timeeChrist against war. (Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, DD.) For myself, while I recognize the difi‘erence between calling war wicked. futile, unchristian and un- necessary, and saying that on the stroke 0 the clock, any nation can forthwith close its war office, scrap its army and navy, and at once adopt an absolutely pacifist. policy. I must say that the more I consuler war. its sources. methods and results. its (lebasing welter of lies and brut- ality, its unspeakable horror while it is here and its utter futilitv in the end to achieve any good thing that mankind could Wish. the more difficult I find it to imagine any situation in which I shall feel justi- llt‘tl in sanctioning or participating in another war. When the Great. \Var broke. the churches were unprepared to take a well-considered Christian attitude. We too had been hypnotized by na- tionalism. had taken patriotism at its current values. and had under- stood it. in its ordinary meanings. We too had regarded as a sacred duty the loyal support of the coun- try's army and navy in almost any task to which the government might put them. We too, vaguely looking forwan to a warless world some- time. somewhere. nevertheless had looked on war as an easily imagin- able. highly probable flecessity of national action. In a word. behind the thin disguise of pious hopes for a day of peace and brotherhood. we had shared those oritlinary social attitudes which made war seem at times an imperious call to duty. a summons to sew-sacrifice. a solemn challenge to devotion and (if need be‘ martyrdom. \\ hen. therefore. the mar broke and the nations. acting on old prem- ises. did the inexitable thing which the. old premises 1m ol\ ed, \xe found ourselves. as Christians. mwerless to lift et‘t'ectiw protest. against the oncoming perdition. We had made ourselxes part. and parcel of social attitudes from \\ hose ine\ itable con- sequence we felt it immoral to with. dra“. \Ve had consented to the necessih of \1 ar and the righteous- ness of mar ton long to be con-- 91 ience-clear in 1ef11si11g to hem the brunt of it when it. came.

Today we must make unmistakably clear our pt'Slllnll against war. against re- liance on war We must. make clear our certain conviction that save for our corporate senselessness. war in the modern world is as needless as it is suicidal. that only the folly and selfishness of diplomats and ‘he stupid willingness of the people to be led like beasts to the shambles make it seem necessarx.

Newman, biologist~ at the Uni- versity of Chicago, who for many years has conducted research into the causes and modes of twinning. Identical twins are two halves of one person: the right and left com- ponens of an originally single in- dividual, which very early in its growth abnormally split into two equal parts, each part reorganizing itself and growing into separate complete persons. Obviously such twins are exactly alike in heredity. appearance and sex, and are the type of twins who cause so much confusion among their friends, be- cause they “can’t tell them apart.” These twins are identical with this differenceâ€"each is the mirror im- age or image reversed of the other in crtain parts of the body.
