No; but it was inevitable, for not otherwise could He show us the way and the power of Truth” ip. 40). "Wisdom and Love may require many sacrifices of self to save us from sin. One sacrifice, however great, is insufficient to pay the debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation cm the sinner* part.”

My Father, quicken my conscious mind to a greater understanding of the lazes through which Thou dost work.

I know that Thou workest in wisdom, therefore to seek wisdom is to seek Thee. I know that all Thy laws are good and when I do good lam co-operating with Thee. I know that Thou art eternal life and that as Thy child I am a sharer of this life. I know that Truth, love, wisdom, and goodness are poured in unlimited supply into that divine receptacle, my spirit, and that to partake of them, I have only to reach out in unwavering love and trust. “I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. ” GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY This adertisement has be§r. made possible by friends of the Unity Truth Center, who wish to make Indianapolis a/better place in which to live.

FRANCE. ITALY TO BATTLE FOR NfIVAL’RIGHTS’ Attitudes of Two NaVons May Block Way to Parley Success. Bv Unitrri Prrsn LONDON. Oct. 19—The fact that France. Italy and Japan have announced their willingness to participate in the forthcoming fivepower naval disarmament conference. was not accepted in all quarters today as a triumphant indication that the movement for naval limitations, so successfully promoted by Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald and PresidPntt Hoover, was bound to reach its goal. Just how far France and Italy will be prepared to conform to the principles of parity advocated in the Anglo-American accord still is an open question and more so since the replies sent by these governments, as well as Japan, to the naval conference invitation, pointed to the necessity of further preliminary discussions. Not in Agreement Under terms of the accord developed MacDonald and Hoover, the two leading naval powers stand pledged to cruiser parity, the limitation of building, and the abolition of submarines. Success of the conference will depend largely upon the readiness of the other three powers to apply these principles to their naval programs in the future. To the general policy of naval limitation, France and Italy are not expected to raise any objections. But on the question of absolute parity as among themselves, and on the issue of submarine abolition, they are far from being in agre.— ment with the principles on which the Anglo-American accord was based. Favor Submarines France insists that given her extended sea coasts and her far-flung colonies to defend, she could not accept parity With Italy without placing herself at a gross disadvantage from the standpoint of all round security. Her navy, she contends, must therefore always be larger than Italy’s. Italy, on the other hand, refuses to accept this conception of the situation. On the question of submarine abolition, France and Italy take the common position that the submarine fleet constitutes an absolutely indispensible part of their naval armaments.
