Needs Religion. Ry the Assaciated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, December 29.—The world never has achieved the art of honest conference and, therefore, struggles blindly for peace, Rev. Studdard Kennedy, rector of St. Ed- mond’s Church, Lombard, London, de- clared yesterday in the principal ad- dress before the opening session of the ninth quadrennial interpational convention of the student volunteer movement. Approximately 7,000 student dele- (gates, representing 1,000 colleges and universitiés in every section of the country, are attending the five-day meeting, which has as its theme “the Christian ~ enterprise abroad.” The movement sceks to Interest the col- Jege youth of the land in missionary work abroad, and is supported by gome thirty evangelical denominar tions. Dr. Kennedy said that men are not born rational; that half the people of the world ave not fit to think for themselves; that religion and worship are the heart of knowedge and char- acter, and that “the search for truth is every bit as much a matter of heartbeats and character s it is of brain ability.” —_— CHINA BUYS MOST BIBLES.

Radio News Radio Editor: 1 noticed your article about San Juan, Porto Rico, having been re- celved Christmas night, and thought that you or some reader might answer the following: Christmas night about 10 o'clock I heard some music and singing, and the announcement was made in Spanish—I heard no English at all—and I understood the station to be Porto Rico and the first let- ter to be “W." About 10:45—on a wave length I belfeve to be a little lower—I heard @ statlon {n Cuba signing off. The announcer gave quite a lengthy talk, first in Spanlsh and then in English—wishing every o merry Christmas and givin longitude of his station and its dis- tance from Havana—both of which 1 was unable to hear clearly, 1 am under the impression that the latter station was not the Cuban Telephone Company, as I received them much louder last night. ALBERT 8§ WHITE. You probably heard the “Cuckoo” station, 6KW, at Tuinucu, Cuba.— Editor. Radio Editor: I saw the inquiry In The Star December 37 about 8tation WIAD. I was surprised to hear this sta- tion the other night, as it was an old friend of mine when I was in Atlantic City all summer. This station was formerly at the Qeean City Yacht Club, Ocean City, It is now a private station lo- cated in Philadelphiz, and 1 am sorry, but I did not note the name of the owner the other night when I heard jt. I might say that they are on a low wave length—to be exaot, 254 meters—and 1 see in my log that the other call is 3XA. 1 listened to a sermon in Los Angeles for twenty minutes the other night, and I think I have a pretty good set, but last night the wife told me about a set that makes me think I am behind the times. It seems that one lady, in talking about radio sets, stated that a friend of hers has a set that has twelve tubes; she listens in to Paris, and that the set is so arranged that the station has to be at least 500 miles away or it won't come In on the set.

It was just signing off. 'GH TAYLOR. Radio Editor: On Christmas night about 10 o'clock I heard a station who call letters I understood to be ‘WJJJ and the announcer mention- ed something about Porto Rico. Could _you tell me what station I heard? I want to thank Mr. Hurley of Hyattsville, Md., for the informa- tion he gave me through your column Monday. HENRY MILLER Thers are no_stations listed with the call letters WJJJ. You may have ;&IL'fl WKAQ at San Juan, Porto co. Radio Editor: Wednesday night at about 10 o'clock I hooked up two crystal sets on my outside aerial. One of my sets contains a forty-three- plate variable condenser and a homemade vario coupler. To my surprise I was getting WRC on one set very clearly, distinotly and with much volume, and on the other I was getting a different pro- gram. It consisted of chorus or community singing, and it came in ith sufficient volume and clear- ness to sound like a local station. The singing stopped at 10:30, with a great, prolonged applause, but I never heard any station letters called out. As WRC was the only local station on at the time, could any one inform me, through your column, the station that was broadcasting this ohorus or com- unity singing that I mignt have heard on my ERT A.

He spoke in Spanish and repeated In Eng- lish, and during the time nothing Was being broadcast a “cuckoo” like the “cuckoo® of a clock was sounded.

LONDON, December 33.—Success at- tended attempts last night to h throughout Britain a program brodfi. cast from America. The North Downs recelving station in the ocounty of Kent, notwithstanding much atmos- pheric disturbance, received distinctly & program from BEast Pittsburgh, which included organ and plano solos and a lecture to Boy Beouts. The program came through with re- markable clarity, the lacturers voice being heard especlally well, and the atation at North Downs promptly re- layed it to all the broadcasting sta- tions of the British Isles. Hundreds of owners of crystal sets reported that they heard It clear] and Gossip Washington fans do not get Bal- timore. |1 was fl-hmf for my ‘Cuckoo” station when I heard the “Cavalleria Rusticana,” with a tre- mendous amount of static. whis- tiing and rasping. T tuned in as carefully and sharply as possible, but the noiee was very bad. At the concluslon of the selection T faintly heard “Baltimore, Md.,” and so listened with the headpiece in- stead of the speaker, and finally got the letters, “WCAO" and tho “Baltimore” plainly spoken. T listened in for half an hour and heard Baltimore repeated each time, but the static was terrific At the same time I could get any ot the other eastern stations per- fectly clear. The setting of the dials for Balti- more was almost the same as for the “Cuckoo” station—twenty- seven or twenty-eight on my set— S0 the wave length must be about 330 or 335. 1 was using a five-tube neutro- dyne set with a 100-foot antenna running approximately east and west above my house, in an open epace near the St. Alban's Cathe- dral above Cleveland Park, one of the highest points in the District. It so happens there are no hills, trees or houses that could possibly be an obstruction near the aerial. Thanking you for anything you ean tell me about the “Cuckoo” station, and any light you can throw on_reception from Balti- more. OLIVER P. NEWMAN. P. S.—Thinking perhaps the Bal- timore reception was unusual, and perhaps valuable, I had three other people listen in and get it for verification. P. S, 2d—The “Cuckoo” an- nouncer said it was station 6KW. The “Cuckoo” station, $KW, is lo- cated at Tuinucu, Cuba, and is oper- ated by Frank H. Jones. Baltimore stations are rarely heard in Washing- ton, due to what scientists describe as “dead spots” between here and the, Monumental city.—Editor. Radio Bditor: I would like to inquire as to what station has the call letters KNE or KND. I received this station about 1:30 Thursday morn- ing. The program consisted of dance numbers, After each group there was an intermission of ten minutes, There has been much discus- sion about a silent night. I think ~ that the local stations should sign off carly one night a week in order not to rob the orystal set owners out of pleas- ure. I own a thres-tube set. I, EDLOWITZ. Radio Editor: I saw in your radio news a letter from D. J. S, Inquiring about the station in Philadelphia whose first three letters are WIA. According to the radio call book, there is no such station in Philadelphia. On the night of December 20 I heard a station broadcasting and he gave his call letters WIAD, Howard R. Miller, Philadelphia. And the announcer gave the ad- dres. The radio_call book said WIAD, Howard R. Miller, is in Ocean City, N. J. I am sure the announcer said WIAD, because he sald many fans get the last let- ter mixed up, and sald the last letter was the fourth letter in the alphabet. There ‘ought to ba one silent night. The oryatal set owners ‘wouldn't miss one night out of a week. 1 hope to ses the “Radio News" Brow into one sheet of The Star every night. A FAN.

We have fol- lowed the course of missionary prog- Tess In both the Old and the New Testaments.: We huve noted that the enterfial purpose of Jehovah, which was revealed by the prophets, palm- ists,’ priests and potentates of the Jewish gdispensation, was Identical with the ptogram of Christ and His gommissjon to His clurch. One result of the quarter's studies that has come,to us is a ocorrect Christian conoeption of our national and International relations, We have foutd that missions were at the very tap root of true religion, commerce and ocivilisation. Our studies have convinced us that God's program for a new cra, when all men, enjoying the fellowship of a spiritual life, will be united into a brotherhovd of friend- ship, love and service depends upon the carrving out of the Master's mis- siopary program Misglons originated in the heart of Jehovah. Out of his love for a demoralized world was born his de- sire to save men. Throughout all th ages he sent his missionarie who have pleaded with ignorant and erring_men as the Lord's ambassa- dors, besceching them “to be recon- ciled unto God.” The germinal ides, which underlies the missjonary move- ment of today that seeks to win the world for Christ, has promuted every missionary who has responded to God's_call_to carry the message of the Fathers love to the lost. Abraham, Jehovah's friend, was the first missionary, whose message we considered. He heard the Divine summons that called him to leave the degradation and demoralization of the city of Ur of the Chaldees to enter upon missionary work. ~He was inspired by the promise of His seed multiply and becoming as nume- rous as “the stars of heaven.’ Je- Bovah's program Jo make of Abra- ham a source of Hlessing to all man- kind was continued in lIsrael as a people. They were called to be a missionary nation. God made known to them through Moses that their mission was to unify all nations into & spiritual brotherhood. Jehovah lo- cated them at the most strategic place in all the world at that hour. Palestine was the world center then, as America is today. There in the midst of the natlons, God placed Israel so that His chosen nation could make her spiritual contribu- tion to mankind. It is significant in ghis connection to remember that the ouly world-wide religlous, Juda- ism, Mohammedanism and Christian- ity, are all of Jewish origin. Some hold that in this religious contribu- tion the nation has fulfilled her spiritual mission. The prophets caught the vision of God's program for Israel and sought to keep the chosen loyal to Jehovah, espectally in the hours of darkn: and despair. Isaizh gave what o as called the first expression of the Christian philosophy of history. He clalmed “for Jehovah of an author- ity over all nations, to use them as instruments to work out His provi- dence.” The great prophet sought to influence the nation by his states- manship and spiritual efforts along lines that would make Israel a fac tor In working out a world peac The missionary messages of the pro- phets -was based upon the character of God. They proclaimed the gospel of Jehovah's light, love and law for & hopleless world by the lives they lived and the lessons they taught Israel, especlally when they were &uf- fering from the aftermaths of war. They based their hope for a war- less world upon a regeneration of men and the removation of nature through the grage of God. They hoped. that Istael through her en- dedvours to exhibit in her national life the results of the high moral jdeals of Jehovah would mold the history of the world until the im- ! plements of warfare would be tran {formed into those of agricultural de velopment VeLdst Tuesday, the world paused in its rush to remember God's gift to men. The birth of our Lord is the central polnt of all history. No great- or event ever occurred in the annals ©of men than the advent of the Christ child in Bethlehem's manger. The World turns from ita course upon the | anniversary of his birth and pays tribute to our Lord, who came as & missfonary to reveal the Father's ! love for men. 3 “His evangelistic, medical and edu- cational missionary effort resulted in the calling out His church, whom He appointed to be missionaries to help Win a lost world for their Lord. Al- though He endowed them with the power of the Holy Spirjt so as to fit {hem to win the world through the proclamation of the gospel, we saw the church forgetting its mission. They tarried in Jerusalem and ev dently started to make christianity another sect of Judaism, until the fires of persecution forced them out of sthe capltal city. When driven by trial they went everywhere preaching the gospel. Our lesson showed how the €arly church was guided in en- larging its missionary activities by Stephen’s work and preaching, which brought on his death as @ martyr. Phillip then came to the front with his success in Samaria and Winning the- Bthioplan official for’ Christ. The success in establishing the § churches called for an inspection of ithe young communitfes and the ex- tension of the right hand of fellow- ship. We follow Peter and saw how providentially he was guided to ac- cept the work done In Samaria and then among the gentiles thraugh the wift of the Holy Spirit to Corneliu We saw Christ's vital interest in the welfare of the church by His conquest of Saul, the persecutor, upon his way o destroy the Christians in Damas- cus. The conversion of Paul provided the man trained and fitted for the extension of the work among the gen- tles. The development of the gentile church at Antloch and his summons %o be the associate of Barnabas in the pastorate of the Antioch church open- 24 the way for their being appointed misslonaries to carry the gospel be- Yona. “We followed Paul's misslon- ary work planting the principles of Christianity in Burope and carrying modern civilization to the strategic Centers of population, preparatory to winning the world for Christ. No one can study the lessoas of the quarter without recognizing the fact that missions is the greatest business of lite. It possesses greater resourc ond. has greater promise of success fhan ‘sny other endeavour. Slowly but surely through misslonary work the Lord Jesus has been changing the current of civilization and the | destiny of men and nations.

NEW YORK, December 29.—One vi tal cause of the present rural de pression is the alarming surplus of unproductive country churches, Dr. Edmund de §.
