The pressure of a unified Christian sentiment, representing as it does mil- ilfons of our people, only needs to be stirred, unt!l like an frresistible force it sweeps from ocean to ocean. If we encouraged men to arm to protect civilization, let us_ inspire them to disarm to save it. If we believe that the Christ's teachings are authorita- tive and that thev are designed for practical ends, then for once let us, politicians, put them to the test. If hitherto we have believed in holy wars, let us now believe in a holy peace. “America, enriched and blessed of God, shall give of her soul, that all mankind may know, that her highest and hollest aim is the emancipation of men from the thraldom of war.

FREEMAN, of the home, have for the while lost their place. Marita) ties are so loose- ly effected that they have become the legal sanctions for an adulterous union. One in every elght marria is dlssolved and the sanctity of the home is thus impertled. “So-called ‘good society’ winks at indiseretions, and the libertine min- gles freely with the chaste and wins the plaudits of the bold adventurer, whose exploits give piquancy and zest to the otherwise colorless fnanities of the drawing room. The youth, reared fn such an atmosphere, comes to re- gard chastity as w cheap and worth- less virtue, and gives unbridled rein to his passions. A scandal thus be- comes @ matter that relleves the tedium of a dull and prosalc existence and lends freshened futerest to the news items of the day. Courtrooms whers the nost salaclous and aban doned recitals of evil living are re hearsed, become us magnets to draw those whose moral obliquity and de- Hnquency find satisfaction in that which i corrupt and foul and putrid. “The cynic sees in all this the tri- umph o evil over good and rejoices In the progressive moral depravity of the race. These conditions are re- flected in the habits and customs of the hour. They ara not restricted to limited areas nor confined to an alan doned minority. They invade every domain know no limitatfons or bounds should they, when homes of pted decency and re- ement open their gates to the pure and the fmpure, to things of good re and evil report?

In corrupting atmosphere of such scenes as the stage has presented within recent months can we expect anything other than moral degeneracy in’ those, voung and old alike, that witness them? What do selfish play- wrights or producers cara what results accrue to their sinister and corrupting dramas when their patronage comes from those who hoast refluement and respectability If parents have no concern for the nes things that are pure and of good re- | port, if they feel no responsibility for guarding their children from the leprous and the unclean, why should they care who profits by their indiffer- enca? “Can a brief weekly hour of worship cleanse hearts and minds that have been filled for six days with the un- wholesome and the unclean? Can any religion, Christian or other, have any appeal for those who have felt and responded readily to the call of the world, the flesh and the devil? ‘There can be no Sumday for such, no day of hallowed associations, with reverence and worship and soul cul- ture. In the face of such conditions the church may issue its call, but it will not be heeded. Tt may employ every artifice, but it will have no adequate answer. One wonders if we have come upon @ time when tha church has no message, no voice that will be heard! Yes, one wonders at its sllence and indifference, and now and agaln is amazed at its acceptance of a situation it seems either power- less or unwilling to boldly attack. Church Retreating and Receding. “When we come to study fairly and blas the attitude of tha church, what do we find? Among other things we discover the loss of definiteness of teaching, issuing in re- laxed ideals. For a generation the church has been in the process of retreating and receding from one position to another, until it is d@iffi- cult to know what {ts reasonable and sound and logical stand is on any question affecting conduct and belfef. A spirit of compromise has seemed to seize it. This, with individualis- tic conceits and consequent loss of authority, has so diluted its message that the people themselves are con- fused and bewlldered. Accommoda- tion to local conditions and a con- veniently flexible standard, easily adapted to varying needs, have char- acterized much of its ministry. “Once we frowned on indulgences, but too often thev are granted today, and from unworthy motives. The practice of religion has been made so easy, and its word of authority so colorless, that to the reflective it makes no appeal. We have largely substituted systems and forms and organizations for deep-seated, life- controlling religious convictions. A so-called ‘comfortable gospel’ is out of consonance with that given to men by Jesus Christ, “At such a time as the present the very security of the church as an in- stitution is imperiled, and no undue concelt or assurance can save it from loss of presiige and power. The de- mand for more and better preaching is urgently recognized. The hour has struck for an aggressive crusade for Christ and His church.” Fellowship Displaces Strife. Within the church ftself, Bishop Freeman said, a spivit of partisan- ship and party strife has given place to concord and fellowship, and he thought no general convention of the church has been characterized by a finer fraternal spirit than the con- vention of last year. “Faith and order have become the watchwords of the church today,” he sald, “faith unmoved by efther funda- mentalism, or modernism, and order that malintains in the face of a dis- cordant and disorderly world, the finer and nobler traditions and dignity of & system that will not yleld to the passing fancies or capriclousness of a hectie and unstable age.” The DLishop referred to the many changes that have occurred in the personnel of the diocese clergy dur- ing the year, the losses by removal and death, he believed, exceeding those of any other year.

The twenty-third annual conven- tion of the Diocese of Washington of the Episcopal Church opened for a two-day session this morning at the All Souls’ Memorial Church, Connec- ticut and Cathedral avenues, with a number of farreaching proposals scheduled for early consideration, in- cluding a revolutionary change in the conduct of the business of the diocese. One of the most fmportant features of the program for today will be a digcussion late this afternoon on the layman's opportunity in the diocese, which will be conducted by Efshop Philip M. Rhinelander, retived, former Bishop of Pennsylvania, now o canon of the Washington Cathedral. Cathedral Funds Ralsed. With virtually the complete mem- bership of the diocese of 150 clergy- men and lay delegates present, the session _was opened by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Was! ington, who spoke of the progress made in the raising of funds for completion of the great cathedral on Mount St. Alban. He reported that during his recent stay in New York City he raised funds at & rate of $10,- 000 a day, and lauded that metropolis for its support. While he a trifle anxious about contributions toward the cathedral at present, he said, the general progress wus most favorable. The change in tle conduct of the business of the divcese is proposed in abandoning the present practice of the Dbishop anpointing the many boards and committees o carry on the work of the diocese and setting up an executive council, which would be the coordinating unit of the many boards, and which the council itself wonld ‘elect A large number of the delegates is believed to be favorable to the general proposition, and the only point of discursion expected is over the po sibliity of an increass in expense A report is to ba made tomorrow worning by the committes on canonm, following which action will be tuken on the proposal.

Consolidation Proposed. Another important item recom mended at the morning session Wus the consolidation of the St. Stephen's Eplscopal Church, Fourteenth street and Columbla road, with the Church of the Incarnation, Tweifth and N streets. A new church building to house the two consolidated congrega- tious 18 projected. Report was made that the fnvita- tion to the general convention of the Episcopal Church. which met last vear in New Orleans, to meet in Washington in 1828, was made to the convention and a committes was in- structed to consider plans. A petition was presented Iy Dr George F. Dudley of St. Stephens’ asking for suffrage for women of the parish in the election of certain church officials. Such suffrage s now granted to the women of most of the parishes. The Church of the Transfiguration, Fourtesuth and Gallatin streets, of which Rev. J. J. Queally is pastor, was admitted to membership in the convention. At the organization meet- ing this morning, Rev. H. Allen fith was re-elected secretary, with his assistants, who are: Rev. E. P.
