BUSINESS DEMOCRACY FUNCTION OF CHURCH. STATES ROCKEFELLER Stressing the need of democracy and brotherhood in industry, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., -writing in the September issue of the Presbyterian New Era Magazine, declares: "Surely it is not consistent for us as

American 10 uomand democracy in government and practice autocracy in industry. There can no longer be satisfactory relationship under an autocratic shop rule any more than an autocratic state, state. Arbitrary control leads to class war, which is as c o n t r ary to

,CWSS 0 Christian principles as any other war. "The right of the church to speak on human relationship in industry has been challenged by some representatives of employers, although upheld by many others. It is objected that ministers know nothing about industrial processes and therefore are not competent to speak upon the relations of employer and employe. This is a challenge which the church must meet by a full understanding and a clear statement of its relation to industry. "The church is commissioned to bear testimony to the truth as it is in Christ. The responsibility for making the -world of business and industry conform to Christian requirements rests upon those leaders of business and Industry who profess to be Christian men. "Clearly the function of the church is not to manage industry, or to teach either employers or -workers how to manage it, but to Interpret these Christian principles and to mediate the Christian spirit. To do this effectively, its teachers, and especially its ministers, need to have direct knowledge of industrial conditions. The pastor must understand the point of view of both the employer and the worker, so as to know the difficulties and responsibilities of each. This requires frequent visits to factories and to homes of the workers. "But the church has also the possibility of teaching through its laymen, including employers and leaders of labor who have the Christian spirit. These men know the problems of management as the ministers do not and are competent to speak upon them in their technical aspects, explaining what Christian principles mean and how they actually operate in industry. The application of these Christian principles rests finally with the laity with employers, managers and leaders of labor and upon their spirit and faithfulness depend the future of our industrial life. "The church must therefore assert and maintain the authority of Christian teaching with reference to the industrial order, and its own right and duty as interpreter of Christian motives and ideals. Let the church keep also the comprehensive social point of view. It is not and cannot be partisan. It is, or should be, the shepherd of all; rich and poor, radical and conservative, employer and employed. The church may find itself, in the defense of right relations, temporarily supporting the claims of a particular individual or group, but it is not and cannot be partisan. Its function is to promote good will and to secure that social justice without which good will is impossible." EPWORTH LEAGUERS ARE OFF TO FESTIVAL Delegations from the three local Methodist church Epworth Leagues were to leave Richmond Tuesday for Newcastle, where representatives from the leagues of the Richmond district were to participate in the first observance of the district booth festival at Memorial park. Contributions of fruits, money and linens were to be exhibited at the booths by all leagues. Later the gifts are to be sent to the Methodist hospital at Indianapolis. The festival and picnic is an annual affair in some of the districts of the conference and will in all probability become such in Richmond district. The event affords the young Methodists an opportunity to meet for a day of picnic and fun and at the same time to bring their gifts for the Methodist hospitals of the state. Judges will award prizes to the league having the finest assortment of gifts. Following the big picnic at noon was to be an address by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Gibson, of Muncie. The remainder of the afternoon was to be given over to various sports and a big base ball game between the Portland, Union City and Winchester divisions against . i r- a -1 3 Ti : 1 .

(By Associated Press SHANGHAI, Aug. 30. As a means of preventing automobile accidents the 'Health Precautionary Association' an organization composed of leading Chinese of Shanghai, recently prepared a list of suggestions among which are several of engaging novelty. The suggestions which were adopted at a meeting after lengthy debate were

submitted to the municipal council of j the International Settlement. Among the measures that the organization advocates are the following: "All motor cars have rubber tired wheels and run without noise. It is too late to blow a horn when a car has already collided with a pedestrian. A car should have a very small bell ringing all the time so that when pedestrians hear it they can get out of the way. This bell should be half the size of bicycle bell. Each car should have a speed limit, but the fire brigade, doctors' and police motor cars should be exempted. Must Label Chauffeurs. A chauffeur should wear a brass badge on his breast. The badge should be three inches in diameter and should have his name and the number of his license in English and Chinese inserib ed thereon. The badge should be jssuea Dy tne municipal council at a few taels each. Then a man not licen sed will not dare drive a car. "All motor trucks should have rails or iron chains around the cars to insure safety and in case of collision cargo will be prevented from falling and injuring pedestrians. Cargo should not be piled too high to prevent danger when . passing over the bridges. Assistant for Each Driver. "There should be one licensed chauf feur and an assistant to take charge of each motor car or truck. The assistant should sit behind and keep a lookout when the car turns around, goes backspending a little money in employing an assistant chauffeur. "After a person is killed by a motor car a wax image of the deceased should be made and placed in a room and any chauffeur who causes injuries j to others should be locked up in this room so that he will see the image and feel sorry. This may cause him to repent. This has been introduced in America and has produced successful results." MEXICO'S MICROBIC PRISON REFORMED; OLD PLAGUE SPOT (By Associated Press MEXICO CITY, Aug. 30. Belem prison which has been described by guidebooks as a "microbic spot to be avoided by sightseers" no longer de-J serves that name. Formerly known as one of the plague spots of Mexico in which were yearly gathered hundreds of thousands of offenders of the law who were herded together in horrible filth, this prison has recently been renovated and now provides almost comfortable quarters for the 1,500 or so prisoners within its walls. ? Schools for the teaching of manual training and the rudiments of education are now maintained, the 300 women in the prison being divided into five groups for instruction. Such schools are not yet provided for the men but, according to Director Vasquez, they will be installed within the next few months. Meals are wholesome and sufficient. Shower Baths Installed. Shower baths have been installed and several large fountains have been placed within the patios where those who have the inclination may wash their clothes. There is a large parade ground for both men and women and the rules of discipline are few. Smoking is allowed at all times and every prisoner may receive such ad ditions to his daily bill of fare as his circumstances permit. Special attendants are provided for the small children of women prisoners of whom there are many, the authorities also providing them with food and a place to sleep. "Death Alley" has been abolished. This was a long corridor through which the condemned were led on their way to execution and in almost 60 years there is no record of one escaping or returning alive. No executions are permitted within the prison. Belem has been notorious for its unhygienic conditions and to be sentenced to Belem was considered the worst fate imaginable to be meted out to a criminal. The French government is planning to provide for navigation of the Rhine river above Lyons in connection with harnessing its current to provide electric power. FORTIFY GUAM That the failure of the United States properly to fortify the island of Guam may cost this country a war with Japan not later than 1922, is the opinion of H. C. Bywater, British writer, in a book recently published entitled, "Sea Power in the Pacific." Mr. Bywater asserts that next year the Japanese navy will be stronger than that of the U. S., and that the fortifications of Guam, which is an island of tremendous strategic importance, will not then be completed. He believes that if Japan does not attack the United States in 1922 she will not do so at all. VrfAKE IS. MARSHALL -ISLANOSCjap) 10' to 7Q."

HEAVEN IS (Continued from Page One.) prepare to die, prepare to meet thy God bye and bye in the sky, and then contrast it with the major emphasis of the preaching of Jesus Christ, and not the wide divergence. ' How little He had to say about death; but He preached life continually. "While Jesus said 'My kingdom is not of this world,' He only means by this that it's source is higher than this world. He teaches us to pray 'Thy kingdom come down to men, and thy will be done in this earthly kingdom, even as it is done in heaven.' The Sermon on the Mount is the constitution of a kingdom, not in the sky, but on the earth.

Right Best Policy "A great many no doubt do right because they think it the best policy. Many men refrain from crime because they fear the law. If a man would say to you, 'I would steal only I fear the law," you would say that in his heart he is a thief." God looks on'the heart.

It is our will submerged in His will, our mind in His mind, our heart in His great heart throbbing with love for the world, and the reward that comes day by day in serving God is all sufficient. "The kingdom will sweep on until there shall be no more war, until every man shall be to every -other man a brother, until there shall be perfect harmony between the earth, and the skies, and until that prayer shall be completely answered, "Thy kingdom come, and Thy will be done on earth $is it is in heaven'. This is the vision John had when he said, 'I saw a new heaven and a new earth, and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down to earth'." Dr. Bready will deliver the third of the series at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. His subject will be "To What Extent Does Christian Character Depend Upon Correctness of Belief."
