THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INAUGURATION IS GALA CEREMONY London’s New Lord Mayor Takes Over Office. Bu United Press LONDON, Nov. 9.—London welcomed a successor to its traditional hero, Dick Whittington, today when Sir William Waterlow was inaugurated lord mayor amidst a festival of medieval pageantry. Thousands of pageant-loving Londoners lined the streets for hours to see the lord mayor’s show, a gala event long before the days of the celebrated tick and his cat. For most of the afternoon, sturdy plkemen and archers, staunch tradesmen and famed companies of troops paraded the tortuous streets. Starting from the Guildhall in the heart of the “city,” the gay procession wound its way past St. Paul’s cathedral, black with age, down historic Fleet street. Sir William, a huge, jovial sportsman of 58 and the head of a large printing firm, rode in a carriage of gold leaf and plate glass. For one year Sir William will be head of “the best governed city in the world.” His domain is one square mile—that part of the metropolitan district originally bounded by London wall and known to Londoners as the “City.”

Photo by Bass. $ Had You Been In Galilee Nineteen Centuries Ago — You would have known and followed the Christ nineteen centuries ago. If you would have done that then why not know and follow Him today? He said “I am with you always.” The principles used by the Man of Galilee are as available today as they were when He wrought wonders by them in the dawn of His era. The curbing of selfishness is as necessary now to the attainment of good results as it was then. There are more reasons for acknowledging Him today than there were nineteen centuries ago. The years pile up proof of His divinity. If it had been in you to know and to follow Him then you will know and follow Him now.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesion for Not. 10. World Peace Through Mutual Understanding. Isa. 2:2-4; Aets, 17: 22-28; John 4:20, 21. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist IN nothing was the Hebrew prophet’s idealism more glorious than in his conception of a war less world. It is an ideal glorious alike in its vision and in its expression, for the passages in which the ideal is expressed, despite the passing of the centuries, thrill with a beauty and fervor that move the soul of every man who has the least capacity for enthusiasm. When, however, one considers all the wars that have taken place since the Hebrew prophets expressed the glory of his ideal, the slaughter of countless millions, and the drenching of the world in blood even within the- experience and memory of tKose now living, there is much that might incline us toward cynicism and despair. It seems at times as if we make very little progress toward peace, and as if the “war to end war,” which this country entered with so much moral passion, has only left the nations in a worse condition of suspicion and confecting selfinterests with the conditions that make for war only more strongly emphasized. When, moreover, one thinks of the world today as becoming constantly through inter-communica-

tion a much narrower place, and of the welter of prejudices, racial, national and religious, as well as the rivalries and conflicting ambitions in trade and polities, one is appalled at the dangers that beset us. We are living in times and under conditions where a match may set the whole tinder-box aflame. Considering this, it is amazing that so many people are still willing to live in a psychology of war and the possibility of war regardless of anything but the narrow considerations of their own class, their own nation and even their own material interests. * That people should seek to do away with battleships and armament is surely intelligible and worthy, that some should possibly oppose such action on the ground that force is necessary as a defense against force is also intelligible, but that children of God professing any sense of decency or regard for their country should seek to continue the making of armament and battleships for their own gain would seem incredible. When one turns, however, to contemplate the whole problem in optimism, one finds that there is a brighter side. After all, tne Hebrew prophets were few, and proverbially few of those to whom they addressed their message gave heed. It was a notorious fact that the prophets were spurned and persecuted in much the same way that

great prophets are falsely accused and derided today. The number of those in the world who believe in peaceful ideals and attitudes and who, as far as possible, are living a life of peace, was probably never greater than it is at the present hour. There is profound hope in the fact that the peace movement is becoming international, as it must to be effective. There is likewise profound hope in the fact that international law and comity are increasingly on the side of peace. We are building up Leagues of Nations, World Courts, Outlawry of War pacts as a defense against war, and though it seems sometimes as if institutions and laws are in advance of public opinion, this fact is in itself a basis of education. The whole trend of present is to turn the thought of the world away from war. Here is where the matter comes, as our lesson reminds us, right into the very central area of Christian life and interests. The Christian who is not predominantly interested in peace and brotherhood is no Christian at all. It is the very essence of the Gospel of Jesus to establish peace among men, to break down pride and prejudices and narrowness, and selfishness, and false ambition, and all the things that have ever made for strife between man and man or war between peoples and nations.
