The witneaeed *ome atrlking teattmonlea to thia truth, in the new atrea* that Preaident Rooeevelt and aeveral Britiah atateamen have aid upon the paramount importance of religion.

tlanity, the world baa *t*adlly Improved. Mias Tarbell quotes Cyprias, a third century bishop of Carthage, in what la uow tho iam h- ■ publicisml Tuma, aa he described bis viakMi of that lougugo world. "if I could ascend some high mountain and look out over the wide land*, you know very well •hat I would eee Brigand* on the high rued*, pirate* on the *.-•», in to please applauding crowd*, selfishness and cruelty, unsety and the amphitheater* men murdered despair under all roofs It Is a bad world But in the midst of it I j I have found a quiet holy people who have learned a great secret They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They are the I master* of their aoula. They have ' overcome the world. These people are th- Chriatian* — and I am one of them." Jey er Jaul Large sections of our world have substituted last tor joy. The titillating of nerve* has taken the place of the deep pence and inward happiness which Christians know. Surface sensations — movement. speed, activity, excitement —are the goal of the shallow-mind-ed; who do not perceive that their standard* of life affect the larger well-being of the whole They have accepted ttnsel for gold For wholeneaa and holmes* of j life, and for the abiding peace | that utridee all storms. Peter prescribed simply—Christ. Christ the , Saviour. Christ the exemplar. J Christ the austainer, Chriat the . rewarder — He is the secret of I the good life. Our world will never "find itseir until It find* Him. The Unsung Heroes luist eight I finished reading on- of the most important new ■ boohs. “In My Time,” by Silaley i Huddleston who ha* been one of the top-flight foreign correspond? enta of the past generation. Hi* book portray* all the tamou* public men on the inter r mai scene during this first thli . at a ssgtury. Mostly it is a record of disillusion, the littleness of the ao-called great ones, and the futility of their clever maneuvering*, is laid bare, as we are admitted behind the , scenes at Geneva and other world ! capitals. The book *»-ema to be ending upon a note of despaln; when suddenly in the final page*, a group I of Christian leader* enter the pi<ture and the author himself I* I changed." Then, with a new faith and a new phiktaophy. he join* the comi>sny of those who** lives God ha* made over into pence And what a company of them there are! On every hand, in evlery condition, are millions of per- ' *<>n* who live by the royal Is* which the New Teatatuciit lay* force in society, and ths world's down. They ars the stabilising hope of peace.
