The Sermon on the Mount is the most famous of all serâ€" mons. Other discoveries pass and are fo:gotten, but this great {:onounc'eâ€" ment is as fresh today as when it was uttered. It contains much of the finest teaching of Jesus, insomuch that some people will say that if we can only live according to the precepts of this man, we shall be perfect. This is, as it were, the ethical program of Chrisâ€" tianity. J. THE BEATITUDES, 3â€"9. January 26. Lesson IVâ€"Standards of the Kingdomâ€"Matthew 5: 3â€"9, 17â€"20, 4348.

Mahatma Gandhi The Stormy Petrel WORRYING JOHN BULL Indian Affairs are Receiving Serious _ Consideration from the Press the World Over India‘s demand for selfâ€"govrernment, the correspondents agree, has taken on a new form that threatens to put the British Government in a tight place The recent bombing of the railway train carrying Lord Irwin, Viceroy of India, we are told, was a feeble exâ€" plosion in comparison to that set off by Mahatma Gandbhi when he anâ€" nounced before the Allâ€"India Nationâ€" alist Congress at Lahore that he and other Indian leaders had abandoned their stand for a dominion status, and would henceforth be satisfied with nothing short of absolute independâ€" their stand for a dominion would henceforth be sa nothing short of absolut ence for India. The next day the executive comâ€" mittee, by a vote of 134 to 77, voted to submit to the e~nference a resoluâ€" tion demanding independcnce from the British Empire. And when the 2,000 native delegates assembled for their first full session on December 29, they listened with tumultuous cheers to a speech in which the fiery young president, Jawaharlal Nehru, announced: "We are now in conâ€" spiracy to free India"â€"by ‘beaceful means, if possible, he added, but by war it necessary. The big tent where this occurred presented a wonderful sight, the corâ€" respondents declare. _ The event had drawn eighty thousand visitors to Laâ€" hore. â€" Thousands ‘squatted outside on khaddar or bomespun cloth Spread over straw on the ground, and the sides of the tent were decorated with manners bearing mottoes such as "Swaraj (home rule) will drive a npail in the coffin of the British Empire." When the national flag of green, red, and white stripes was run up on the sixtyâ€"foot pole before the tent, the Associated Press tells us, the throng, shouting "Long live the revolution!" broke through the police cordon and swarmed toward the platform, causâ€" ing such a crush that several men }fainted. On the same, authority we read: "Mahatma Gandhi, long a leader of the Nationalist movement, led the fight against the proposed dominion status in the Brmsfi Empire, and inâ€" troduced nonâ€"coâ€"operative measures to enforce the Congress party demands for independence. These included refusal to attend the roundâ€"table conâ€" ference called to meet in London to discuss the political situation in Inâ€" dia, and avored boycott of the Cenâ€" tral and Provincial legislatures with autborization for a program of civil disobedience and nonâ€"payment of taxes when the committee thinks it advisable." Tl;; -s;ffere(l attitude of Mr. Gandhi, who is supposed to hold oneâ€"third of Congress party demands lence. These included tend the roundâ€"table conâ€" d to meet in London to political situation in In 'lndia’s 280,000,000 natives in the holâ€"| low of his palm, can mean only one thingâ€"that the National agitation has itself acquired a momentum which the | moderate can not now check, says the‘ ! New York Herald Tribune, adding: "A year ago Mr. Gandbi was pleadâ€" ing for caution; he assented to the demand for dominion status only to’ avoid mcre radical action. Now he, himself, is forced to demand indeâ€" pendence; once more, it is said, to forestall the more impetfous ieaders who would otherwise take the situaâ€" tion from his bands. It is the old difficulty of nationalistic agitation that once it is started it can not‘be controlled. â€" However narvrow may be i“’ popular base, howeves uawise its | claims might prove, or however damâ€" ,Iaging to the masses in whose name {' the claims are raised, the agitation ‘ takes on a reality of its own, and the Aleaders are hurried down the steep |i slope of measures which it might be | difficult to justify on any rational [! basis of policy." ' The Allâ€"India Conference last year,l the Associated Press reminds us, )adopted a resolution calling for al :campaign of "civil disobedience" if| dominion status was not granted to India by the end of 1929. The Britâ€" ish Government sent a distinguished | commission headed by Sir John Simon 'to report on the degree of selfâ€"govâ€" | ernment that might safely be entrustâ€" ‘ed to India‘s medley of races and reâ€" | ligions, but the report of that comâ€" ' mission has not yet been made public. ' This investigation was started by the | last Conservative Ministry, but the‘ Labor Government of Prime Minister | Ramsay MacDonald has renewed all| preceding pledges and reiterated the} | promise that India shall have dominâ€"! |ion status in time. But the Nationâ€"! ‘ alists, becoming impatient, have now| . adopted a policy which, as one dis-; patch puts it, "seems certain to deal' a crippling and perhaps a fatal blow to the whole British policy of conâ€" | stitutional reform in India." Accordâ€" ling to a United Press correspondent ing to a U at Labore: "Mahatma Gandhi‘s program | inâ€" cludes the calling of an extraordinary session of the Congress next Februâ€" ary, with attendance limited to 1,000 influential delegates sworn to proâ€" claim ‘civil disobedience‘ of British rule. Such action, it is expected, will force the Government to declare the Congress an unlawful body, and arâ€" rest ‘the delegates. Thereupon Gandhi will mobilize another 1,000 with the same result, continuing the program until the Government or the Congress breaks." * That John Bull is somewhat disâ€" turbedâ€"especially by the threat of an Indian boycott on English goodsâ€" was Indicated by an immediate waverâ€" ing the price of cotton at Liverpool, which in turn affected New Rork. J. L. Garvin, writing in the London Sunday Observer, declares that the Nationalists of India are deliberately copying the methods used by the Sinn Fein leaders in Ireland a dozen years ago, even to adopting "The Wearing of the Green" as their fighting song. He adds, however: "The Sinn Fein a Wearing| Oldpopâ€""How did you sle: ting song.‘nlght?" Sinn Fein‘: Newpopâ€""Between walke." elements of Indian agitation are proâ€" foundly selfâ€"deceived by Irish precedâ€" ents .which could only lead them to gigantic disasters." If the congress at Labore were truly representative of all India, says the London Sunday Times, the resolution demanding comâ€" plete independence would be the gravest event ‘since the mutiny of 1857, but it adds: "In point of fact the Congress 18 nothing of the kind. It is composed of some thousands of unrepresentaâ€" tive Indians whose brains bave been fermented with ideas of Western deâ€" mocracy. It is not even populariy elected. Even if all shades of Indian political opinion were represented in it the Congrees would still remain hopelessly un‘representative of India, nineâ€"tenths of the population of which ave iiterates not caring A fig. for politics." That the Liberal party of In{ least, has no use for the radicali the Gandhi Nationalists is ind by a dispatch from Madras New York Times, December 3 ing. "The National Liberal Federation here toâ€"day denounced the policy of independence advocated by the Naâ€" tionalist Congrss at Lahore. The Liberals passed a resolution cordially welcoming the Viceroy‘s announceâ€" ment regarding India‘s future." Ethel Mannin in the London Evenâ€" Ing Standard (Ind. Cons.): It is far easier for women to get jobs and to make money toâ€"day than for men to do so. For men jobs of any kind, still less remunerative posts and big appointments, are desperately scarce, whilst for women they.open up on every hand, and the number of woâ€" men earning a salary, or making in businesses of their own, a thousand pounds a year and more is steadily if slowly being added to, both here and in America. . . + It is especially embittering for men that all the opâ€" portunities â€" for moneyâ€"making and commercial success generally, which have resulted from the upheaval of the war, have gone, not to the men who fought, but to the women who stayed home, and those not the woâ€" men who were called upon to sacriâ€" fice sons and husbands either, but to that younger generation of womenâ€" my own generationâ€"who were school girls in 1914, and whom the war touched but Fortune of War lightly did you sleep last TORONTO awlism of ndicated to the Can a Flee Commit Perjury? 30, say One British Empire is __ (Sir William Clark League in Itself | Asks Coâ€"operation Success of â€" Commonwealth: High Proof of Practicability | S New Yorkâ€"The British Empire as a precedent for the League of Naâ€" tions was held out by General Jan Cbristian Smuts, former Premier of South Africa, speaking at A monster dinner here. In the Empire, he pointed out, one quarter of the popuâ€" lation of the world, yepresenting all races, colors and creeds, were living together in peace with no army OT navy required to enforce it, caadd 426 dut Auibdedeiihe‘s Biarcand He asked why this condition could pot be extended to the whole world. The dinner was a part of the cele brations arranged in the United States for the tenth anniversary of the founding of the League. . Some 32 organizations interesting themselves in securing the entry of this country into the League, participated The British Empire of toâ€"day, the General said, was nothing else but a League of Nations in itself, The only way to secure perpetual peace. was by applying the same idea on & larger scale. The success of the Empire is nroof of its practicability. General Smuts said his mission was not to engage in propaganda for the League, but merely to lay the facts before theâ€" people in the United States.. In not more than ten years be predicted the whole human race, including Russia, would be represent ed at the Council table of the League. "It would be a very serious and very tragic thing," he went on, "if, when all the nations of the world gather there, the seat of the founder and inspirer should remain vacant." ‘Tribute to Wilson In this and other references he pald tribute to the late President Woodrow Wilson as one of the main forces in bringing the League into existence. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson occupied a seat of honor next to General Smuts. The United States, he pointed out, was bound to enter into international conferences whether within or withâ€" out the League. The pact of Paris required it. ‘In this way the method of conference for disposing o interâ€" national disputes would become uniâ€" versal and once this came about peace would be guaranteed without fail. A gradual disappearance of opposiâ€" tion to the League in the United States was noted by John W. Davis, who presided. There was not one respongible person in the country now, he said, who would say the Leaâ€" gue was dead, was a failure or should be revised. London Morning Post (Cons.): To resume relations with Soviet Russia and to give free entry to her repreâ€" sentatives and agents has always seemed to us a monstrous folly from a political point of view, There is, however, a consideration far stronger,. Soviet Russia is the avowed and imâ€" placable enemy of the Christian faith â€"of any form of religion whatsoever. The intention is clear and unashamed. Religion must be destroyed not only in Russia but throughout the world in order that the social, economic and political theories of Bolshevism may take root and flourish, Religion is first to be destroyed in order that the world revolution may follow. Canada Victoria Times (Lib.): Throughout the West during the year 1929 there has been a very satisfactory expansion in industrial development covering all lines of manufacturing which pertain to the West, and it has been a year in which new _ industries â€" producing articles not hitherto manufactured ‘have been establishedâ€"another year { investigation into trade possibilities, ‘bringing into the West many repreâ€" gentatives of important organizations, from which have resulted new agenâ€" gles, new expansion and new and atâ€" tractive prospects for the future.

Industrialized Western Russia and Religion Says Smuts Hamilton, Ont.â€"Study of the quesâ€" tion bow manufacturers in different parts of the British Empire can best work together, was recommended by Sir William Clark, British High Comâ€" missioner to Canadd, in addressing a dinner at the Canadian Club bere reâ€" cently. Although no one expected the Doâ€" minions deliberately to retard their own progress in the interest of Great Britainâ€"it would not be to the ultd= mate interest of the Mother Country for them so to doâ€"SBir William thought Empire manufacturers should study how they can best avoid un necessary â€" competition with _ one another‘s special products; how they can coâ€"operate for getting the best out of the markets of the Emâ€" pire and, "beyond that, for joint atâ€" tacks on markets in other lands." "(ipâ€"operation is not perhaps quite so difficult as it may sound," Sir Wile liam said. â€" "No manufacturing coun« try, however diversified its production, is ever wholly selfâ€"supporting. Gerâ€" many, before the war, then our most dangerous industrial competitor, was. also the second largest importer of British goods. The United States, now I suppose the largest industrial producers in the world, is also our third best customer toâ€"day. Every country has its special aptitudes, its special facilities; much of their reâ€" spective production can dovetail, so to speak, into one auother‘s without conflict of interest. . It is a cmestion which requires expert study by those who know industry from within, & study in rationalization on & large scale with the whole Empire as the basis." Sir William said he noted the busiâ€" noss men of Canada had formed A MEUSOR mAE acl scale with the whole Empire as the basis." Sir William said he noted the busiâ€" noss men of Canada had formed A committee to consider the questions of Empire trade in relation to the Porth» cominz Imperial economic conference, and British chambers of commerce had taken the same step. "There should be no better guarantee for the success of the conference," he added, "and I hope in one form or anâ€" other the subject of which 1 have: spoken will receive some of the conâ€" sidration of those committees, which are commiitees of experts in the full« est and best sense of the word.," Declaring men were taking a larger and broader view, with less selfâ€"interâ€" est than prevailed during the last cenâ€" tury, Sir William said no good could come to country or to Empire by runâ€" ning a business into losses or throwâ€" ing away good trade, . But it was possible too to look beyond the limits of the immediate affair; to think in terms not merély of what was easiest and perhaps a little more profitable now, but to recall, as he had endeavor» ed to show, "that in the long run from the purely business standpoint each one of our peoples is deeply concernâ€" d in the prosperity of the other memâ€" bers of the commonwealth; and bear» ing these things in mind, to try in the every day work of business manâ€" lacement to do a little Empive bulldâ€" ing as well." Regina J. Woody in Plain Talk: I feel sure that trial careers would avert many more divorces than comâ€" panionate marriage ever will; and that the resulting knowledge of what she was actually worth in doliars and cents to the business world would more surely convey the yet unrealized knowledge to many a frivolous woâ€" man who threatens to leave home for a "career" that business is not all pleasure and that the odds in marâ€" riage for women always have been, and always will be, two to one in favor of her happiness. . . . It is the false glamor of ease and exciteâ€" ment surrounding success which so often blinds the uninitiated to the actual amount of work involved and which leads many an immature young wife into believing that a "career" is all play, while marriage, due to her own disillusionment, seems to her merely a dreary round of hard labor. Previous contact with a career would most surely teach her that in both business and marriage work is fairly, evenly divided, and lead her to realâ€" ize along with Stevenson, that "to travel hopefully is better than to arâ€" rive, and that the true success is to labor." Mary Borden in Marper‘s Maga zine (New York): In England peopie care less about good manners than good form, The English people are in general too insensitive and too lacking in curiosity to have really good manmers; for the lack of curiâ€" osity means lack of sympathy and a wide indifference to what others feel or think. Being very modest people, or, what is the same thing, excesâ€" sively proud but not vain, and with an intense positive dislike for showâ€" ing off, their manners on the whole are better than one might expect; for though they don‘t care a rap about pleasing, they don‘t care either about showing their displeasure, and so probably they show little or no sign of any kind. Indifference is their ‘pdno social quality; that it dyes not make for the gaiety of nations goes "M saying.
