Bishop of Nowark
Poland, <h*?, Sefefc 5>-^The
church oaMiot countenance violent
methods, o* -pn unfiairylif'i pay or
an unfair day's work, or the break*
ins of asrpemanta, bat it nfcust never
lose its interest in the hard places of
life," said the Rt. Rev. Eldwin S.
Lines, D. D., Bishop of Newark, in
his convention sermon hare today at
the opening session of the 47th triennial
general convention of the Episcopal
Church in the United States.
"The church mast he able to give
voice to" th$ "aftd hop^s
and dpaires of this multitad^ far
something better in life fo* -^paselvea
and their children. e'rpm
unapplied homos are to come those
who shall maintain the life of "THfc
church ^and the Service of religion.
'The church has stood for charity
and relief and mercy," continued
Bishop Lines. "Emphasis must be
put on sdcial justice and fellowship
ana xne uoiaen ituie, upon duties
rather than rights. No one can see
the way in which our great cities
have grown up with their homes of
luxury and extravagance, waste and
selfish comfort an one end, and mean
streets and comfortless houses and
indecent conditions at the other end
of the town, without feeling that it
is semi-paganism rather than Christianity.
"The church must make its own
the cause of the unprivileged people,
those who are in hard places in life,
of those upon whom the existing sorial
and iriduStrial order presses
heavily, while it must stand against
injustice and unfairness on both
sides.
"I wonder not that the world is in
Tevolt against the old and existing
order, whether it be in society or industry
or in customs and manner of
living. It is largely a revolt against
suppression and worn out customs
and traditions and it had to come :u
a world which was settling down under
the impression that money-making
and selfish prosperity and pleasure
seeking are the main things in
life. It is a subject for rejoicing that
an increasing number of intelligent
business men are endeavoring in a
Christian way to solve industrial difficulties,
seeing the other man's
point of view and giving it consideration.
We will rejoice that labor is
no more thought of as a mere com\.
modity by right-minded business men

more than the value of property, and
that the remedy for the world's ills in
recognized as moral Nand spiritual
rather than economic."
Bishop Lines declared that these
perplexing industrial questions and
contentions cannot be settled with<out
religion. His sermon, which
measurably strikes the l^eynote " of
the convention which assembled to day
with delegates present from all >
parts of the world, was a strong appeal
for the development of chur.h
leadership to meet present world conditions.
He urged that it was the
duty of the church in the fulfillment
of its mission never to-rest content
.with what had been accomplished,
lbut constantly to move forward. He
drew a vivid picture of the events of
the past eight years, which he spoke
of as "The World in Revolt," and
compared with the spirit of disintegration
and revolt which is prevalent
.through all history.
"The hope of the church," he deiflttfed,
"is moving forward out of
Xhe Jand of ease and contentment,
aut of the land of prejudice and narrow
Vision. The church in action,
holding fast to what is old and well
settled, but dealing intelligently with
existing conditions and questions,
fighting with unwavering courage
; against what is wrong, not spending
overmuch time upon small questions,
. but concentrating upon what is
large and vital, must make its jourmey
and fill out the mission given by,
;the Master."
- In concluding his sermon, Bishop!
lintf* Deferred briefly to the subject
of prohibition. He said in part.
"I recognize the right to differences
of opinion and expression of

placing this subject in the fundamen.

Winkle Town
*
Springfield, {JUL, SflRt, 7?(By tjyi
Associated Pre*e).?Bernadqte. a
Rip Van' Winkle town, is awakening
from a century of sleep.
Like those souls living "on yonder]
hill" above Spoon River, who were j
quickened into life by the imagina-j
tion of Edgar Lqe Masters in his
"Anthology," the unperturbed inhabitants
of this strange little village
on the same Spoon river, have been |
touched with Ilf6 by the pen of a'
newspaper writer.
Without telephones, automobiles, j
railroads or any qxodern convscip?K!?s
?his town had gone on it* undisturbed
way for a b^ndrtE^d years, sleeping
! <ftHetly in a buBy world, until a few
days ago when it was "discovered by
a motion picture director and the
next morning awoke to fame with a
column of type in a Bloomington
newspaper.
C. L. Varnard, looking about for
a "location" to film a country town
scene, ran across the village. It has
no railroads and half the inhabitants
claim never to have seen a train. It
has no picture shows, and of course
had never seen a motion picture
camera. There are no telephones and
no electricity in the town. The old
village grtat mill is still grinding
away every day with water from the
same spillway that supplied the mill
a century ago.
But now strange things are happening
in Bemadote. Big automobiles
whizz through the village,
there is the unusual smell of oil and
gasoline. The swirling dust from
many pneumatic tires distress the bewildered
inhabitants. Old ladies in
calico dresses no longer go their
quiet way to the village store and
long whiskered* old men no longer
calmly whittle the hours away under
the village trees. Their nerves
twitch and the day is no longer calm.
The article describing the rustic
wonders of the superannuated village
broucrht tourists from far onH
About the town go unusual looking
men with cameras and stage appearances.
They are the moving picture
people who are going to put Beraadote
in the Alms. Bemadote is sleep
walking. Some of the oldest inhabitants
think its a nightmare.
Most of the folks of the town are
farmers. A few of the oldest are
considered to be retired. The others
work in the fields, harvesting crops
from the same ground their fathers
and grandfathers tilled.
There are two small wooden buildings
in the village that serve as
stores, where the simple wants of the
people are supplied. The houses are
quaint and old fashioned, of the old i
colonial and English type. Picket
fences separate the yards. Old fashioned
flowered gardens bloom in the i
doorydeda. j

to allow American railway constructors

touch this territory.

Finland, and has recently been the
scene of considerable fighting be

a sterile and worthless country, but

on the Volga, and is the center

head of a commune whose population
is made up chiefly of German col

Many of the new republics are
much smaller than were the governments
or provinces under the imperialistic
regime, and their federation
with Moscow is more or less fictional
at the present time. Their
armies are directed by Moscow. Also
their railways, if they have any.
In other words, Moscow takes care
that they shall not endanger the Soviet
central government, and lets them,
paddle their own canoe aa best they
can.
