The labor move- ment, strong for many years, was composed of intellectuals and manual laborers. In Germany the labor movement is the same as the Social Democratic party, law-abid- ing and evolutionary. Although» the inter- national basis of the labor party is definite it has not been able to stop war. The new German constitution was designed to. keep peace and to encourage international friendship. It provided for equality of the, sexes, that the illegitimate child should have the same rights as the child born in wedlock; in economic ideas it is between ' the Russian Soviet and the independence of the employer, making use of an organiza- tion something like the Ameri¢an Shop Committee. Even in the old Germany there had been a social welfare plan. of state _insurance: which was continued. Germany had hoped for a peace of re- construction, a Wilsonian peace. When the Versailles Treaty came to Germany for signature, most of the people, charmed by the very word of peace, led the govern- ment into accepting it, although the wom- en in the National Assembly were very ‘ much opposed.

Various phases of the Labor Movement in this country have arisén as a direct re- sult of its history, began Miss Boone, For instance, the labor unions here have not had to work for the. suffrage, since it came more easily in’ America than-in--Europe: +Then, too, a certain type-of labor leader has arisen on account of the bargaining over large areas which is necessitated by the size of the country. Competition with the organized is complicated with the un- organized immigrant. - ; In explaining the American Labor Movye- ment of today Miss Boone said that the American Federation of Labor is thought of in two ways, as the unions affiliated with the central group, and as “Gompers and his crowd.” _ The unions affiliated with the A. F. of are varied in their policies from tre- ruption in others. As a whole the Federa- tion has no political movement, Anyone who votes for labor is bound to go back into office, as Gomper’s policy is to reward his friends and: punish his enemies. The lack of a real political movement is partly responsible for unintelligent leadership, as men cannot rise from economic to political leadership. The central labor unions in the cities which push for interests of their citizens, partly take the place of a political party. There are also state. federations which have not gone far. as yet, but which according to Miss Boone, may do miuch in the future. The most important of the unions not affiliated with the American Federation of Labor are the four big railroad _ brother- hoods, the secessionist unions and the I. W. W. The railroad brotherhoods, founded in 1863. before the A. F. of L. came into being, refused to enter, because they be- lieved they. occupied a strategic position in Ifthe country. The secessionist movements are those which left the Federation for various causes of discontent, forming or- ganizations of their own.” The Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of America have obtained. good conditions in their own in- dustry and. are now branching out into other fields. The desire to foster industrial unionism was the reason for the secession of the I. W. W. and their formation. | NEW YORK THEATRE GUILD TO GIVE THREE PLAYS_IN PHILADELPHIA New York Theatre Guild Productions will be given in Philadelphia-at the Walnut Street Theatre.

Saturdaynight, in_its_gala_array for Sophomore dance. The ceiling was fes- tooned with strips “of alternating red, yel- low, green, blue and black, and. railings draped ‘with gay blankets in splashes of color. Winter was forgotten i in the tropical atmosphere of palms, and:trellises-of kum- quats. One wall was a solid. bank of green, against which stood tables, inviting inti- mate téte-a-tétés, while at the other end was a patio with low, dggavily draped benches.. Through this scene of palm and warmth wandered strangely attired Spanish “caballeroes,” accompanied by attractive Castillian maidens ‘with their brightly col- ored shawls and graceful mantillas. From the first strains of “La Paloma,” with which the Sophomores _ officially opened the dance, until the last notes of the Freshman song, “Antonio Begonio,” who told of “the romance and splendor, of the night spent in old Argentine,” the room was filled with a whirling mass of people. Bright-colored mantillas were thrown in relief against white shirts, whose wearers leaned toward the colorful in sashes and serapes: A vari-colored spotlight height- ened the effect as it picked out a particu- larly -bright, shawl here and there. Com- plete. transformations were effected by the judicious use of combs and ‘lace, or wigs and-side-burns, Some conceptions of the proper Argentinian costume for evening wear were extraordinary enough to as- tound the observer who was not blinded by the almost universal tints of red that predominated. Fortunately, the bull who featured on the posters both of the arena and the prize-ring was absent. BRYN MAWR VOTE TAKEN ON PRIZE PEACE _PLAN Letters Explain Attitude of Many Affirmative. Voters Two huabed and fifty-four tindefgrad- ugtes approved of the Peace Plan which won the Bok Peace Prize. Of these only sixty-three were voters. Of forty-four voting against the plan four were. actual voters, - re Four letters have beén -written expla - ing the attitude of some of those voting in the affirmative. One explains that the student votes in favor of the Peace Plan because it is better than nothing. “I think it is a step in the right. direction,” . she states, “but a very feeble step. Certainly no satisfactory world péace can be brought about unless the United States joins the League of Nations.” A second letter also maintains that*the plan “is-an-exceedingly feeble step in the right direction, but that offering co-operation without membership is an insult to the League.” A third letter reads, “I voted for this plan only because I consider it imperative that the United States should join the League of Nations no matter what the conditions. But I con- sider it outrageous that the United States should try to enter ‘the council of the League ‘without being willing to assume — any obligations.” Tue News takes great pleasure in an- mouncing the election of M.

But the majority of these peoplé are forced when asked to approve the plan in substance. Better, they say, than nothing, though but a feeble step in the right direction. Had another plan em- bodying more radical ideas beet submitted to the public referendum, as well’ as this, the two to compete for public favor, more intelligent voting might have been ex- pected. An opportunity to compare their relative merits would have satisfied the more radical people who believe that more is “practicable” than this conservative plan, while the same selection would have been ¢ dt A referen- to vote “yes” presented to the coriservative. dum on two different plans would more truly reflect American public opinion than one where the bulk of affirmations, at least from a representative college, seem to be . for lack of anything better. N THE CUT PETITION In petitioning the Faculty to allow cut-\ ting before and after vacations to come under their jurisdiction, the Undergrad- uate Association has made a bold request, but we think a perfectly fair one. By the present pe al the management of cuts except the days before and after vacations is in the hands of the Association and it seems just that if they are allowed all this work they should be intrusted with the whole matter. The proposal to have a first or last cut count as seven is a much lighter penalty than a deferred examina- tion and at the same time makes it almost impossible to miss a first. or last class. There are very few who do not use so few of their cuts during the semester that they will be able to take nine or at least eight cuts at once, and the rule, while ‘guarding against reckless cutting, would "enable : a student to be absent in an un- usual circumstance without being penalized | too severely. A FALSE ATTITUDE Due to the inheritance that belongs to us as students at a college where “things of ae ‘the mind” are the primary interest, we are. apt to place mental superiority above everything else. Unfortunately this. insist- - ence on intellectual attainments is linked up with a powerful dislike of anything : bordering on the emotional. Our first re- action to a speech or sermon is “Was it emotion: at she eemeer io 2m speaker stands» condemned in our eyes. Without question a little of this feeling of mental superiority is a good thing. It ‘creates a sane and healthy atmosphere of thought, laughs away the sentimentalism of which many of us are guilty when we enter, and makes us ready to face life with caf and coolness. But we gg much farther than this, often so far that we lose sympathy with some of our acquaintances who do not have the same atmosphere as we do. Certainly this suppression of our in the extreme, All the emotions is narrowing partly because it is so artificial. .|great leaders of humanity have wielded their power through emotion tempered: by intellect rather than through intellect. tem- pered by emotion. If our well-trained minds~are to have~any effect -in~ helping create a better world, we must not forget that the other side of our natures is equally, if not moa powerful. > OF CABBAGES AND. KINGS Before and after our many altruistic drives. we should have time to inaugurate one strictly for our own benefit. ‘We pro- pose an alternative aim; (1) to buy car- pets for the Library, or (2) to buy new shoes for two-thirds of the college. We have evolved a slogan: : “Knowledge leaks When footwear squeaks.” We believe that this educational cam- paign should receive the support of all sty- dents, especially. those who would gain shoes theréby.

The game ,was a series of individual scraps all over the field, tH Faculty play- ing with grim determination and ‘great speed against the more. adept stick wérk of Varsity. The ball was rushed up and down the field continually and the’ game was distinguished by many long shots ahead of the forward line. _ The Faculty held together better in the first half. Dr. Owen and Dr. Bissell, the ‘mainstays of the Faculty backline, displayed effective interference. Dr. Schrader, as goal, made several excellent stops.

Books and Authors. Robert Lynd. The editor of the London Daily News and the writer of many essays on Ireland and Letters in general, has gathered to- gether sketches about authors rather than their books, that show the penetration and sympathy of a man: who enjoys people as people. Mr. Lynd is a genial and unlabored writer with a refreshing amount of com- mon sense. The preface expresses his idea of what criticism should be. He writes that “In order to justify itself as a branch of lit- erature criticism must associate ideas of literature with ideas about life or must por- tray in an author not only an author but aman.” “The positive task of criti- cism is to create in one’s own mind an image of a writer’s genius, and then to try to clear the mind of one’s readers so that the same image will be reflected in theirs.” The book is divided into two groups of sketches; the More or Less Ancient, in- cluding Herrick, Victor Hugo, Keats, Lamb, Hans Andersen and Poe; and the More or Less Modern, including Max | Beerbohm, Conrad, Wells, Vachel Lindsay, T. S. Eliot and André Gide. The following books of modern poetry, drama, and fiction came to the shelves last week: Beyond the Horizon, Eugene O'Neil ; Three Plays, Luigi Pirandello; A King’s Daughter, Masefield; Collected Poems, Vachel Lindsay; The Dove’s Nest, Kath- erme Mansfield ; Monday or Tuesday, Vir- ginia Woolf, and & ‘Lost Lady, Willa aS Katharine Neilson, L.

Varied Program Arranged for Schola ’ : . a THE COLLEGE’ NEWS 3 DR. KERSOPP LAKE SPEAKS ON THEOLOGICAL CONTROVERSY od Experimentalists in Religion. Must’ Succeed Through Tolerance “The controversy in the churches is not really about little points in the creed or any system of theology,” said Dr. Kersopp ‘Lake, Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Harvard University, speaking in chapel” Sunday, January 6. “It is a part of the revolution in intellectual affairs which took place in the last century.” During the eighteenth century every one was interested in thedries, and experiments were undertaken to prove these theories. Now it is reversed and we try to. create a theory in accordance with facts. The same change is taking place in theology; many men wish to treat their spiritual fives on the same basis as they do their material lives. Those opposed to this position are the Fundamentalists, who hold that “their body of knowledge about spiritual matters should not be subject to the criticism of other ideas, but rests on the authority of the Scriptures.” At the opposite are the “Ex. perimentalists” who believe in individual religion. Somewhere in the universe is a source of life whiclt comes to’ him or to which he can go, and to find that, and not a theory about its nature is his experiment. To such men questions of creed and for- mula stmply disappear. We have inherited an organization and religious creed “which bears the same re- lation to religion that the laboratory, does to chemistry.” This should not be handed over either to the Fundamentalists or to the tmentalists declared Dr. Lake. a gta, ntalists can remain toler- ant they will win through free and’ open discussion and without bitterness. There is still a third party in the church, who are trying to bridge over the “extremes by reading into the creeds a meaning which is not there. They are the Institutionalists who are really not doing much good ‘to anybody. = The duty of people like us, said Dr. Lake, is not to allow ourselves to drift into a position of isolated superiority. “Education will prove a failure if educated people will not mix intellectually with their * inferiors.” If we can put ourselves in the other person’s place without losing our in- dividual personality, we will come through ‘the controversy because of the truth of spiritual experience. ESSENTIALS OF A SUCCESSFUL STU- DENT EXPLAINED BY DR. LAKE The difference between the successful and unsuccessful student was the subject of Dr. Kersopp Lake’s talk in chapel Mon- day morning, January 7. Dr, Lake said he~tad seen education of three different degrees and kinds of free- ‘dom, in England, Holland, and America. The successful student was about. the same in all three countries, as was the unsuc- cessful one. The successful student is one who has learned to do what is right, not because of a rule, but because it is the way he chooses, who has learned the meaning of scholarship, the difference between what some one has told him and what he has found-out for himselfe The unsuccessful students are those who have acquired a series of taboos in conduct and in intellect have assimilated a certain amount of in- formation. The first ‘go on learning throughout life, the latter stop when they leave college. r Mrs. Davis of the Ladies’ Home Journal has been spending five weeks at Wellesley collecting material for an article on thé college which is to be the first of a series of articles on women’s collegeg published in that magazine. é a NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES Miss Bonstelle, who directed Pinero’s “Enchanted. Cottage”.. last season and or- ganized. the first’ municipal theatre in the United States, spoke at Hunter College re- cently on the relationship of* th® student to the theatre. According to her talk she believes that students have a definite re- sponsibility towards the theatre. If they refused. to support a play with nothing worth while in it, the commercial manager would be grateful to them. “The Storm Centers of Europe” was the subject of the lecture given by Professor Fridtjok Nansen, at Barnard. Connecticut College recently produced a Spanish play in Spanish. The Student Curriculum. Committee: at Vassar is instituting a series of lectures to clarify ideas on education. ~The lectures will be informal talks given by members of the faculty and will be followed by a dis- cussion. from the floor, The general sub- jects discussed will be scholarship, the pur- pose of a college, graduate study, honor courses, and European and American meth- ods of study. The last seven classes graduating from Mt. Holyoke have arranged to make their’ class gift to the college at their twenty- fifth year reunions by ‘buying insurance policies which will mature at that time. The annual premium on the policy is paid by taxing each member of the class her proportionate share of the total premium. [n addition to this each member has been taxed yearly to support the General Alum- nae Association. It'is now proposed that. the insurance plan be abandoned and the Alumnae Fund Plan be adopted in its place. The scheme in brief is this: The Alum- nae Fund pledge agrees to pay an annual amount—to the treasurer of the Alumnae Association on April 1 .every year. Of the total yearly subscription from all the alumnae a certain amount is to be used to cover the expenses Of the Alumnae Office. The balance will be used for some definite work of the college. ° NOTES FROM 1922 g Ethel Brown is finishing her course at the New York School of Social Work, and expects to go abroad later in-the winter.

CHAPEL SPEAKER STRESSES MENTAL ATTITUDE OF WORLD Indifference Is Curse of Humanity and Hinders Progress The Reverend Henry Hallam ‘Tweedy, Professor of Practical Theology at Yale University, spoke in chapel on Sunday “evening, January 13. As students, he said, our position in life is comparable to that of the Roman god Janus. We may look either backwards forwards, into the past*or into the futur If we look upon the year which is past, we should see there some gain in wisdom, some ‘spiritual growth. It is especially important in these days of dissension to learn the art of living together.. There is too much, hate in the world and too little adaptation. Ideals have changed quickly and radicalism is rampant; only the future can show whether or not these changes are for the good. Youth, in breaking «the old shackles, is breaking as well, too many laws, both social and moral, which have in the past proved beneficial and even nec- essary to man’s happiness. 4 In the world today people have divided themselves into four classes. There ate those whose attitude is revolutionary and, fighting bitterly against them, are the re- actionaries. The third class is by: far the largest and comprises all those who do not care; they are an immovable mass of in- difference, holding the world back by sheer weight. Finally, there are some “who,are really constructive, who work for good and try in their lives to emulate, the life: and love of Jesus Christ. They are truly worth while in the world, and to that group we must: try to belong, é ses a MUSIC DEPARTMENT The program for the Philadelphia Orchestra this week is: ‘Mozart—Overture, “The Magic Flute.” Brahms—Symphony No. 1, ig C, minor.

Beginning with some general considera- tions regarding the new spirit among for- eign students, Mr. Stauffer goes on to a detailed account.of Youth. Movements~—in the Orient, India, Latin-America, and ‘Europe. Every American student should be interested in ‘these attitudes expressed toward politics, economic problems, race questions, and religion. Certain special topics receive attention, such as folk danc- ing as a cure for faults of modern danc- ing, a theory which is being worked out in Germany. The articles are well arranged and make reading that*is as interesting as it is important. : Racial Relations and the Christian .JIdeal, discusses present racial relations and future development. The fundamental questions which must be dealt with are clearly set forth together with the ‘opinions of men ‘such as William McDougall, H. G. Wells, W. E. B. Dubois. The problems of race equality, of racial differences’ of the re- sponsibility of -a highly developed race to- wards one less highly developed, and the question of discrimination along racial lines in the admission of immigrants, aré con- sidered in the light of science, of human experience and of Christian Ideals. Economic Problems and the Christian Ideal is one of four discussion courses planned and partially prepared by a sub- committee of the Committee on Arrange- ments for the Student Volunteer Move- ment Quadrennial Convention, December 28, 1923, to January 1, 1924. This particu- lar pamphlet indicates that a practical so- lution of the great problems of human re- lationships confronting the world today may be found in the Christian Ideal. The very titless of the six parts into which it is divided—material Goods and Spiritual Rife, What Can Christians Do About Eco- nomic Problems, etc., suggest firmer ground ahead for those who have felt that Chris- tianity was far removed from practical eco- nomic problems.. Each of the six payts is prefixed by eight questions, which in turn are succeeded by varying answers and worth-while opinions, the sources of quo- tation ranging from Carleton Beals “Mex- ico: An Interpretation,” to Tawney’s_Ac- quisitive Society,” A pamphlet entitled “International Prob- lems and the Christian Way of Life,” pre- pared by the Commission on International Relations of the National Conference on the Christian Way of Life, ts one-third thought-provoking questions upon current events and attitudes toward them, and two- thirds selected readings which answer or comment upon the foregoing questions.

THE RELATION OF CHRISTIANITY TO WORLD PROBLEMS IS DISCUSSED AT INDIANAPOLIS Conference Shows Need of Applying Christian Principles to Race, War and Labor Questions OVER 6000 STUDENTS ATTEND (Specially contributed by the Bryn Mawr ¢ delegation to Indianapolis) What Christianity Has to Do With the World Today was the big question stressed by the Ninth Quadrennial Student. Volun- teer Convention, held at Indianapolis this vacation, from December 28 to January 2. About ‘six thousand five hundred delegates were—present, coming from California to Maine, and including: besides the regular students, two hundred foreign students, and representatives of the Y. M. C7 A. and Y. W. C. A,, foreign mis- sionaries, and outside speakers. Where be- fore the main emphasis of the Student Vol- unteer Conventions has been laid almost entirely on work in the foreign mission field, the-interest of this last one was cen- tered on the relation of religion and Chris- tianity to both world problems and every- day living. The purpose was stated as three-fold. . First, to consider the actual ‘conditions of the world, good and bad, with sane, free thinking. -Second, to consider the evils and ‘needs of our college life. Third, to consider the relation of Chris- tianity to these problems. Do we consider it inadequate? Is it the fault of the Church, the fault of Christianity, or the fault of us? fori tt. is Not an Emotion But a State of Mind The absolute need of clear thinteinie in religion as.in other matters was clearly shown. This. point was. stressed by many speakers. “Religion is not an emotion, but a state of mind,” said Reverend Stoddard Kennedy, chaplain to King George. “Re- ligion comes right into the heart of study and reason, but rationality is not pure in- tellect. Clear thinking and open-minded- ness are needed, but just the apparatus, knowledge and patience, must be acquired. If we are going to apply religion and Christianity to facts we must know clearly what we think about it. We must-not be prejudiced, ignorant or indifferent, but . study it as we would any other problem.” “Most of the muddle today,” said Canon Wood, of Cambridge, England, “is due to muddled thinking. Men must straighten out their minds, especially about God.” The solution and conviction is personal. No one can take another person’s words or experience except as an aid to thinking out her own answer. The Fundamental Reality of Christianity Discussed The most impressive fact of the whole conference was the sense of the reality of what every one was. striving for—Chris-. tianity is not something laid carefully away in a drawer to be used only on Sunday— it is a fact, a fact that is‘ withus every day, and turning ‘up in everything we do. The greatness of real religion lies in -its unavoidableness and all-conclusiveness. - It is active, not passive. Canon Wood again said, “We are all too ready to think but to do beCause of what we think? First we must be sure what we think, then do it. It was quite remarkable to be one of six thousand all trying to straighten them- selves out on that quéstidn. You would i ) nd |- : ‘ pick up a stranger on the street corner a ‘men and serving humanity not by the first plunge into the deepest and most. personal conversation with as little hesitation as you would have said good morning to your best friend. . Is ‘There Any Better Solution than Christianity? “Js there any solution which is not ade- quately. given. by Christ? Was He purely idealistic? Based more could He have — Can we get on without Him? These were the questions that naturally. followed. They were considered under the four big head- ings of International Problems, Race Prob- lems, Economic Problems, and the Youth Movement. The different aspects of the, quéstion were given by lecture to the as- sembled company, who were then divided into smaller groups for the purpose of discussion, ‘ coe Labor Challenges Those Who Refuse to Take Part in lts. Problems “Jesus didn’t’ play safe,” said Paul Blanchard, field secretary of the Leagué of Industrial Democracy, in condemning our attitude of staying out of labor problems because we are sot sure where they are leading. The situation today has ° three phases—low wages, unemployment, and the harmful effects of monotonous employment. Over three thousand Chinese ar@\,earning twenty-seven cents a day; much insanity results from the desperation of unemploy- ment; heavy hours over a machine change free acting and thinking human beings to mere commodities of industry. Mr. Blanch- ard favors Round Trée’s program for re- lief as a truly Christian one—a living wage, the eight-hour day, the employer bearing the risks of unemployment, a measure of joint control, and also of co-operative ownership. ’ The use of profit is to replace worn-out machinery. .Man’s loss of humary energy is difficult of replacement; so the least that wearing industry can do is to offer some financial reparation in the form. of profit- sharing, maintained Mr. Hapgood,.head of an Indianapolis industry. All labor situations are “unoccupied mis- sions fields.” The church today is opposed by labor because it is preaching ideals without any action to justify them. Let us act what we preach and labor will be with us. Were He alive today, “Christ would surely be on the side of Labor.” What Attitude Shall We Take Toward War? If “Christian idealism has no place in in- ternational affairs,” as is often asserted, then “Christianity cannot make good its claim,” said the Honorable Newton Rowell, of Canada. ‘But the hope and aspiration of the world lies in the application of the Christian ideal, bringing the sanctity of in- ternatfonal agreements and the preservation of peace by co-operation and conciliation. According to Sherwood Eddy, 86 per’ cent. of our national income in 1922 went di- rectly or indirectly into war channels. Have we the courage to step out and prac- tice the Christian doctrine we assert? Kirby Page, of the Fellowship of Recon- ciliation, gave four practical suggestions— understand and deal with the causes of war, strengthen agencies of justice, outlaw war legally, and, as individuals, refuse ever again to engage in it. For when we sup- port war, we are saying that Christianity is practical in theory but not siffficient in emergencies. This Pacifist stand had a fairly strong backing. For, though all the forty-nine discussion groups agreed that we must work for the’ elimination of war, there was great disagreement as to what is the Chris- tian_attitude ‘to take toward it. The last morning four studént speakers earnestly put forth possible solutions for bringing world peace, each one représenting ‘a good section of the convention opinion. Education in itself is too slow, said the Pacifist. We must stand to tHe hilt on Jesus’ plan of non-resistance ftrusting all but ‘through love. So. strong, were some against any participation in war that, in a meeting called on the side, a hundred took the Absolutist pledge not to engage directly or indirectly in any war or war prepara- tion after November 11, 1924. Many men went back to refuse support to the R. O. ‘speaker. T. C,, even at the risk of expulsion from “We can’t stop war by saying we don't like it,” said the speaker for preparedness. Unpreparedness breeds war. By prepared: ness we can reduce the cost and length of war ,to a minimum, thus increasing: our chances. to do good ang spread our ideals through a peaceful world. Today we are engaged not so much in doing preventative good as in healing wounds. on Non-resistance is impractical, War can be abolished only gradually, and the best way is through education—a third stagd. Meanwhile, we must fight in cases of™ne- cessity, when all possible means of settle- ment have failed. A nation: must defend itself, for the possibility of spreading its ideals. Lack of world organization is the big cause of war. We need a legal substitute for forge, making both “preparedness” and “pacifism” unnecessary, asserted the fourth He attempted to show how the World Court and League of Nations could meet_this need. A show of. hands, with people voting for two or more stands if they were consistent, resulted in a good showing for Pacifism and for educational methods, but slight support for *preparedness, and an almost unanimous vote for the League and the World Court. = : There were some definite proposals agreed on by all four factions—truth both in pul- pit and press, personal discussion, and study of the causes of war, changing the motive of the R. O. T.-C. to one of phys- ical education, supporting international re- lief work, and urging the international ex- change of professors and students. Race Question Both as a Campus and a World Problem is Considered Forty-one of the forty-nine discussion groups took up the race question. Many of them. discussed it as a specific problem on the campus; in others it was taken up as a wotld problem. The main points of view expressed in the various groups were summed up in.a big meeting by ‘four stu- dent speakers, one from the South, one from the North, a Negro, and a Filippino. The Southerner emphasized justice, and said that few in the South believe in the absolute subjugation of the Negro. He told of attempts to solve the problem through an Inter-racial Commission and student discussion grotffs. The Northerner gave character as the only Christian basis of discrimination and stressed the need of following the Gospel of Christ in our deal ings with other races. No -inherent. in- equality of races was the point made by the Filippino. The Negro plead for a fair chance. Culture*is possible only through contact. If we refuse the chance of con- tact’ to the Negro #t-is unfair to expect him to accept our standards. A_ few specific proposals were made— that we eliminate the white superiority complex, ‘oppose organizations working toward race superiority, promote the study of the reasons for present prejudices, and work against specific social wrongs. Among other speakers, Dr. Willis King, of Georgia, said that Jesus’ way of love has never been tried, although-we-call our- selves. a Christian country. Dr. Tsu, of Shanghai, blamed politicians for fostering race prejudices which are based on a fal- lacious idea of race superiority. He said that we must feel a filial relationship with God before we can feel a real fraternal relationship with all men. Why. Is There No Youth Movement in America Asks Mr. Sherwood Eddy “Why,” asked Sherwood Eddy,” no adequate Youth Movement in America?” Her. unfair distribution of wealth, child labor, lynching, racial discriminations, and general lack of clear thinking must not be disregarded by her 500,000 students. Why do«they not make a concerted effort for peace and for better social and economic conditions? There is a stronger. belief than ever before in the necessity for spir- itual force with which to oppose the mate- rial evils of the present world. In speaking of the present generation, Dr. Mott said, “They are dissatisfied with the past and with the present; they are critical, inquir- ‘ing and alert, quick to discern reality and ; = is there to want consistency. Finally with their strong idealism and hopefulness they have an adventurous spirit and are ready to go - to extremes.” The essence of the Youth Movement is that it should be a constructive test against evil8. In Europe the protest has. usually been against autocracy. In America it can be against unfair racial discrimination, war, exploiting of workers and numberless social evils. Finally, the Youth Movements in other countries: have been fundamentally _ reli- gious. They have realized the inconsistency between what people believe and how they act, and are trying to bring these two sides of human life together. If a student movement should grow in America which would co-operate with’ the Christian Associations and Liberal Clubs . of the colleges of this country, and: w co-operate with the youth moveme other lands, there is no limit to the force ~ that they could give toward bringing bet- ter conditions and clearer thought in the world. @ Christianity is Religion of Power Whose Source Must be Understood Canon Woods, of the British ‘Student Movement, stressed the necess ity of straightening our thinking to make. way for: effective action. In our thinking about re- ligion we-cannot overlook the fact ‘that ’ God has been, for so many, a source of power, any more than we can discount the experience of scientists. Unless we bring our theught of God cloger to the teaching ~ {of Christ we are in danger of worshipping our own “pet infinite.” Ever since Christ lived, men have, found that their experi- ences with God and Christ coalesced, and that they could not explain Christ without using the word God. Christ is no hybrid, part man and part God, nor is he God disguised as a man. Both the reality and the divinity of Christ are in His human- ity; the more He is man, the more God. Even though frée will is theoretically non- existent, we are practically free to choose. * whether we shall be linked to God or pulled away, whether we shall work with God’s own omnipotence of love or against it. God answers the problem of the world’s suffering by the cross, the focussing at one time and place, of’ what God eternally is. Jesus liyed to explain God and His plans for man’s ideal life. He succeeded in eg ag ideals into .concrete fact be- ause He believed that all the resources of God were available for humanity, and was willing to use His whole being as a medi- um through which these resources might act. We are willing to consecrate only a section of human life and consequently fail. in realizing our ideals. With Jesus as an example, we can believe that human nature can be changed, that the Kingdom of God: is feasible. A man of: power, instead of carrying his religion about like luggage, discovers that Christianity, the religion of power, can carry him. Modern psychology is helping us to understand the same sources of power that Christ knew.’ If God is personal and free, and people are - personal and free, it is possible for every- one to explore Jesus’ way of life, to have conscious intercourse with God. Evangelization of the World in This Gen- eration is Slogan at Conference “Evangelization of the world in this gen- eration!” was a fantastic dream uttered a generation ago, by youthful Dr. Speer, but — “evangelization of the world in this gen-. eration!” proclaimed by us, 6000 students, is no longer a dream, but a reality. An- tagonistic feelings felt, in Japan against’ Christian America, a generation ago, has been completely wiped out as thousands of lives perished in the regent disaster ; “the kindness shown by Christian America toward the stricken Japan,” safd Mr. Hata- haka, the Dean of Kobe College in Japan, “was too full of love and power not to overcome our prejudices towards America.” “Africa is more than ready to receive the teachers of the religion,” the petition from the Africans at large was strongly voiced, as Dr. Aggrey, the native of the African Gold Coast, challenged us. “Give us Jesus,- 8 TIHE.

American missionaries. There is hardly a village in Japan. untouched by Christian workers. The passion to learn about Christ is évery4 where manifest. “Evangelization of the world in this generation!” is no longer a dream. “He Who Gets ° CALENDAR Saturday, January 19 Classes for Monday, January 21. 8.30 P.M.—Second Swimming: Meet.
