CHURCH AIDASKED ~ INTRADE PROBLEM Economic Issues Need Re- ligious Treatment as Well as War, Says Methodist. Br tha Aseociated Press. CHICAGO, June 16.—The church must treat economic problems with the same seriousness as it treats war problems, Dr. H. F. Ward of New York, vesterday. told a meeting of methodist laymen and clergymen be ing held to formulate a statement of church poliey. Dr. Ward, secretary of the confer- ence, declared that “the economic svstem is destroying the meaning of life. 1f we approach the problem as we did the war problem we have two t00ls with which to work—religious insight and observation of fact. It may turn out to be too late for a demonstration of consequence.” There are many things about society which are unchristian, and it is un christian to deal only with the eco- nomic order and business men, Dr King D. Beach, pastor of St. James' Methodist Church of Chicago, chal lenged in reply to the remarks of Ward. “Our church,” said Dr. Beach, * not entirely Christian, the Method annual conference is mot thoroughly Christian. Our industrial order is not the only unchristian element with which we have to deal.” The address of Dr. Beach was fol lowed by a general discussion by prominent Methodist laymen and clergy of the United States, which was summarized by Bishop Francis J. McConnell of Pittsburgh, who ad- vised the clergy to express their opin- fons of economic and social matters regardless of unpleasant effects.

After arriving in Yucatan several months ago, Dr. Gann declared, he began exploring, with the assist- ance of special cquipment, a_man- moth cavern at Lolton. Indian guides led him through the cavern, which contained corridors whera many natlves are said to have lost their lives while hiding from ene- mies. Dr. Gann said he lost h torch while crossing a cr a narrow ledge in the cavern and saved himself by clutching to.the edge of a precipice. At Lubaantun, which he’ discovered in company with several companions from the museum two years ago, Dr. Gann found indications that three civili- zations had existed there. LUMBER ENVOY NAMED. E. A.
