M ETH O D IS T CHURCH remarks on the passage o f scripture that call mention to the fact that every grain o f wheat before it can grow and multiply has to «lie. So Christ's death means that He liv«*s anew in the hearts o f every one o f his horn aguin followers. His death mak I fe possible fo r aJI humanity. Hut his death taken by itself will save no one. It is like he has built a rail road to heaven, erected depots, put may trains on the track, hired con ductors and all the helpers necessary, «•vo bought our tickets, but, if we refute to take advantage o f it all it will avail us nothing. Christ has pro vided all God requires and ull we need. Now it's up to us to accept or go to hell over Christ’s dead body in spite o f all, oven He can do fo r us.

The Present Generation It has been frequently obx. rved that the American people are loi-ing that imperturbably serenity their forefathers are said to have possessed. The pres« nt g« neration is ea:«l to be capable o f getting excite«l over tri vialities and o farguing about any thing. Americans have always argued— fo r arguing seems to be instinctive in all forms o f an mal life— but pool room, after- church and street-coiner d«-bates are not what is under dis cussion here. This form er closed- coropration form a forensic combat is thought to have been replaced by the t< ndency o f the whole people to be- com«' more easily aroused into vocifer ous protest or approval. I f the criticism is founded on fact, there is a ready and plausible expla- nat on fo r the national change. With virtually every man and woman read ing in the newspapers and listening- in on the radio about the same hap penings o f the day, and under the closer relationship between people through growth in urban population, Mr. an«l MrB.
