Methodists In Report Favor Joining Court t> ■ ii Condemn War As “Law of Jungle.” U. S. Should Further Peace. Urge Cooperation of Denominations. Springfield, Mass., May 4.—The union of the nations in the cause of peace and the union of the Methodist Churches of America in the cause of Christianity were indorsed by the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in their address to the quad rennial general conference here today. The report, the official pronounce ment of the Episcopalsy was prs- j ented by Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of Philadelphia, senior bishop of the church. - Limitation of the church’s ban on^ amusements to those which can not be enjoyed in the name of Jesus Christ, was recommended by the bishops, who also suggested means of combatting the divorce problem and favored prohibition enforcement and restriction of immigration into this country. They reaffirmed the church’s fundamental doctrines in view of present day theological controversy. Condemning war as “a law of the jungle, and organized revenge,” the bishops advocated the entry of the United States into the world court. “Our position must be that inter national warfare unless indisputably in self-defense or defense of human ity, is a monstroity of th» pagan past which has absolutely no proper place in the program of the modern world. We respectfully remind the govern ment of the United Statts that we ex pect the federal authorities to dis cover a method other than war to settle international disputes.” “We believe profoundly;” they said, “that the United States of America should cooperate with the other na tions of the world in bringing about world justice and world peace. We, therefore, give our heartjf endorse ment to the proposition that our coun try shall become a member of the permanent court of international jus tice. And it is our firm conviction that all nations should agree to sub mit to impartial tribunals all dis putes that threaten the world and which can not be adjusted by the usual process of diplomacy.” “The Methodist Episcopal church believes in the largest possible meas ure of cooperation between denomi nations,” the bishops said, “but be lieves also that the freedom of each denomination should be preserved.” “We, therefore, comniend to your prompt and sympathetic congtyera- tion the plan submitted to yo».” ' On the subject of divorce, the bish ops declared that a “frightful condi tion” existed. They proposed as remedies, the standardisation of di vorce laws of the various states, the immediate enactment of a federal divorce law to provide uniformity in dealing with the matter and “a re turn to the former ideals of personal virtue, modesty and social proprie ty.” Among the causes given for this condition were the frivolous temper of the times, the dissemination of loose views, ridicule of the old-fash ioned virtues, the passion for luxury, pernicious incitement of modern fic tion and drama and “above all the loss of the sense of God and of moral responsibility.” . 11 Early in the report the bishops criticised “any organization which secretely discriminates against any American citizen because of race, color or religious faith and takes unto itself the authority of the courts to deal with those suspected of wrong doing.” “Such secret policies,” the report added, “are a menace to society and the state.” FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 10th day of June 1924,1 will render a final ac count of my acts and doings as guar dian of the estate of Lewis Lawson, deceased, in the office of .the Judge of Probate of Laurens county, at 11 o’clock, a. m., and on the same day will anply for a final discharge from my trust as Guardian.

Lam bert, who has been a popular school-teacher here for several years, recently told a visitor of her interesting experiences with Cardui. “Just before my , , . came on,” said Mrs. Lambert, “I would ache all over. My feet, my toes, my arms, hands, head—iby whole body seemed to be in one awful pain. I would grow so nervous that I could not hold a cup in my hand. My husband would have to hold my coffee for me to drink. Last fall I was in such s bad condition that I had to spend about three days in Led eve month. It seemed to me was on my last go-round.” Then one day, said Mrs. Lam bert. she happened to read about Cardui and the experiences of some women who had been helped by it "I/elt that Cardui might help me if I tried it,” the \ M? continued, “for I had been suf fering with similar troubles to those mentioned there. I had heard of Cardui all my life and I knew many women who said they had been helped by it The very next day I began to take it “Very soon after, I began to notice my improvement I kept on till I felt like a different woman. I gained in weight from 98 pounds to 115 and frit better than I had in rears. I took six bottles right along and found It a splendid tonic. My suffering was partly due to a run-down condition and the Cardui stimu lated my appetite and helped me to gain the strength I needed. .. I take a bottle every new and then, even now, just as a tonic to keep up my strength, but I am in beUarherithtlian 1 have been in far pears. 19 AH druggists sell Cardui. Try & i l« An education is worth much to children for culture and enjoyment, j I and it also gives them a better fin-1 ancial chance. j While many uneducated persons 1 are unsuccessful, figures show that j 90 per cent of the college men ris^ to large salaries while only 25 p£r' cent of the non-college men reach | responsible positions. Yet of 1,000 children who reach the fifth grade, only 72 enter college and only 23 graduate. Lack of funds is the greatest causg for this dropping out. Therefore, many companies are writing insur ance which parents may take for the education of their children. This pays a stated sum each month 011 the child has finished college and can be ar ranged for enough to start the son in business.
