The time has passed when psychological matters are treated as a joke, One does not have to be a believer in mental healing to know that one's mental attitude does affect one physically., Almost any physician will tell you that if a person is convineed he is sick he is apt to be sick and actual sickness may develop: | that anyone convinced he is subject to colds takes cold more easily than one | who refuses to belleve he suffers thus This winter the gensral mental at- titude is that we will suffer from the cold. Coal will be difficult to get and will be expensive. Coal will be saved. Every member of the family will be- lleve that the one who the | furnace {s trying to save coal and is keeping the house less warm than If this mental attitude is nouriehed it will actually take more heat to keep us warm than it would if we thought less about the coal| shortage. Keep members of the family | from feeling of the radiator and stop | talking coal shortage, and the troubles of the furnace man, father or brother or hired man, will be less serious. In this connection an incident in the runs | | usual fetched, but it conveys the right idea Complaints of the cold were made in Sing Sing prison.

But in the matter of banks there {s this difference, that the strength of the banks is a help, not a danger to the individual who s successful and whose financial capi- tal {s part of the wealth of his com- munity. Strong banks make a strong community. There is no need to wor- ry over the prospect of this planned | strengthening of the city banks at present. MONEY ABOVE ALL It seems that there {s considerable speculation in Washington whether or not the retirement of Lloyd George and the resultant confusion wil). delay the coming to this country of the Brit- ish commission to discuss the refund- ing of the war debt. It would be terri- ble indeed were there to be any delay in this matter. It involves vast sums owed to the United States. How awful | it would be if the matter were to be slighted and if England should not send its commission immediately to coming into the pipes. The complaints grew less numerous. The complainers thought heat was there and felt cor- respondingly warmer. This is not a | joke; it is not a theoretical dream. No new mysterious creed is involved the matter at all.

Fast Situation | “The problem in the Near East is not a result of physical causes. ‘It is a spiritual problem,” sald Rev. |John E. Morell in a talk on the East- ern situatién at the morning service of the Firkt Congregational church yesterday. “Some people say that the trouble over there should be stopped, that the government should take a hand in it,” |he sald. “Others say that the suffer- ing should he stopped, that the pub- |lic should be appealed to for funds. If the people think that we should take a hand in the trouble, then our foreign policy should he made one of Ithe issues in the next presidential | campaign.” | A Cause of Spirit. | He then went on to explain that |the cause of the situation is a causc |ot spirit, that the problem in the Near (East is one of spirit, | The speaker told of the storm cen- [ter, Asia Minor, and of the two “sore | spots, Bilesia and 8Smyrna. He sald "hat Smyrna was occupled under the guise of allied forces in the interests of peace, but it was really a Greek oc- icupamm in the interests of Greece. The Greek army was put into Asia | Minor with the knowledge and con- ht of the Allies. Morcover, they | | were put into Asia Minor to enforce | |a treaty which, as yet, had not heen | published, according to Dr. Morell. | The trouble in Smyrna was the result | of national aggrandizement. | Turkish Nationalists. Against this spirit of aggrandize- |ment and imperialism the Turkish | |Nationalist movement was organized in | {1918, this also with the knowledge and |consent of the Allird forces. An or- |der was issued to the effect that the British should watch closely, but not interfere with this movement. Dr. | Morell said that this organization was started for the purpose of having an organized hody of Turks that could be depended upon, to bé at the Sul- tan's command should the terms of the treaty of peace not he satisfac- tory. By the treaty of peace Smyrna was given to Greece, pald to the appeals. 8o tHe Turks de- cided that if they wanted to keep for |their own what belonged to them, they would have to fight for it. And fight for it they did. It was at this time that a new thing was born in Turkey. This was a national spirit on the part of the Turks, a thing that |had never been seen hefore, the speaker said. This spirit is not in- terpreted by the cut-throats and rob- bers who are busy over there; it is interpreted by the sane men who are |planning a popular government for the country. He then spoke of the Armeniafl |question. He said that the bitterness to Armenia lles in the crushing of lan aspiration. The Turks are in the midst of a struggle of the spirit. There lare those radicals who say, “Turkey for the Turks.'" And there are those | moderates who say, “lLive and let |live. We need Armenia.” The ques- |tion is, Dr. Morell gald, which shall prevail, Armenia Divided. Armenia is divided on the question of spirit. Some sed the futurc of the |country in political independence. | Then there are those who are oppos- ie:l to this idea altogether. The Turks appeal- | Every once in a while you meet a [ed to the Allies, but not attention was | He then spoke of what {is being) done by the outside world to help these people. He said that the Con- gregationalists are the only onés in America who are attempting to bring to bear forces on the spirftual situa- tion. He then told of how the people over there are heginning to take a hold on the spiritual work themselvca how | the Armenians are establishing churches of their own, how natives are also taking over the missionary work. He told of the great faith of those Turks and Armeniane who be- come Christians, how all kinds of tor- ture would not make a great many of them renounce their beliefs, MARRIED 10 YEARS. | Mr. and Mrs. Matthew T.
