" M :7 J 4 BETTER BALANCED CHRISTIANITY THEME OF SERMON BY MR. GEL Unified Christendom will have the result of n. ht'ttpr balanced Chris tianity: sectarian "Christianity isi lop-sided Christianity; the differ ence between Christian bodies Is largely one of emphasis; ko' nays the Rev. Robert S. GUI In an ad dress delivered Sunday night, the fourth in a Series on church unity. The theme for the talk was the con trast of rrotestant and Catholic idealM. "In the view r a Christendom di vided Into tfiO or i 7.0. Berts, :'thc natural r-onclustion in thst they can't all be rlht." nald th i.eaKer. "An almost equally natural conclusion I? that they all are probably wrong, tlut this Is natural only because it is the fruit of disunity. What Is certain, anyhow, is that nome can not be wholly right and eome wholly wrong. The roots of all are Inter 2ced in close and Intimate fashion. "By and large Christendom is di vided into two great groups Catho lic and Protestant. An Episcopalian is in a good position to seo this as he is both Catholic and Protestant. Some folks are unkind enough for this reason to say that he Is there fore neither fish, flesh nor fowl. CM the contrary he Is raerely'in posiea tion of a. wider, or at least a differ ing synthesis." IJotli Intellect and Kmotion Count. ' After making an extended con trast of the two systems, .Catholic nd Protestant, the speaker asked: Which is right? These differences r deep and radical.

If we could combine both we should have a pretty well balanced Chris tianity, better balanced than is the witness of either apart from the other; although anyone who is ac customed, to looking at a merely lop-sided" Christianity would scarce ly agree wjth me. "Wo seem somehow to suppoK that emphasis on one joint necessar ily bars out emphasis on some othr point. How is the Christian pro gram to be carried out by work or by prayer? Quite obviously by both: and: it would be absurd, to say that If we work we can't pray, or if we pray we cant' work. Is Christianity a matter of emotion or of intellect.' This is a question of frequent dehat -f r,v- in the pulpit. But how badly taken the point Is! Quite obviously Chris tianity Is both a matter of intellect and one of emotion. Christ Is Center. vHtst so we might ask, is th- Tible the center of Christianity, or the Sacraments? Shall we be nible Christians s or Sacramental Chris tians? Can we not be both? : Is there anything about the one nec essarily opposed to the othe? Neither Is the center of Christianity anyway. Jesus Chript Is. And Jesus Christ lives in both Bible and Sacra ment. "Is the Christian minister a priest or a prophet?" Is It hi" business to celebrate the sacraments or to preach the gospel? Does it have to be limited to one or the other? May it not be both? Would not his min istry have a" better balance if both were strongly emphasized, and not either, one to the exclusion or dis paragement of the other? I Ij"hh Ktubhornne 'VrRed. "The Catholic Is stiff and firm on the authority of the church, on the church's divine appointment and mission. The Protestant strenuous ly asserts the rights of private Judg ment and the necessity of Individual conversion. But the Catholic holda also that the benefit of the church and' her ordinance depend on the individual; and the Protestant thinks of the church as of divine authority. The evangelical will not deny his catholicity; nor will tha catholic deny his evangel Icity. Wldi as the difference is. the, hope in th-s situation lies In the fact that it is mostly one of emphasis. Stanch Catholic and stanch evangelical will be the first to deny this; but elthur will be hard put to it to-prove the contrary. "The whole point Is that we have nothing to lose, and everything to gain even the attaining of the uni ty of the faith. We need not be less stanch in saying Yes, but less stub born in saying No. Rabies Is Prevalent in KlamathCoanty Says Letter Rabies is dangerously prevalent in Klamath county, according to a let ter that has been received by Dr. W. IL Lytle, state veterinarian, from H. Roland Clasyer, county agent for that county. The letter says that a government hunter is at work on the Jim Reck ley farm on Klamath marsh, where veral cattle have died of rabies. One dead coyote was found, indicating that the animal had bitten the cattle. Two profes sional .hunters and trappers are ope rating In the RJy section where thirty-two head, of sheep and eight or ten cattle have died since the disease first made its appearance.

The Dallas delivery system which Jiah heretofore been making four deliveiles daily from the local stores this morning started in on a two-delivery sched-. ule. The change was made in an m dea?v to conserve the gasoline sup ply and cut the operating expenses of the merchants. Tho lMllas merch ants have udopted a thirty-day cred it system and hereafter credit at most of the stores will only be given ?or thirty days. This system has been forced upon the merchants on ac count of the hlph cost of hupr-lies and the cutting of the credit ayatem by the wholesale bouses. . By R. A. HARRIS.

The action of the State Federa tion of Labor as above indicated is the result of the efforts of a Salem committee appointed on authority of a resolution adopted at the meeting of the Salem Alliance for Labor and Democracy following the address of Professor Joseph K. Hart of Reed college who spoke on the British labor program in Willamette l-niver- f-ity chapel on the night of February 6. . The platform of the British Labor party Is comprehensive and i-oni-plete. The New Republic, which printed it in full, Is one of the coun try's foremost weekly magazines of political comment. It commends the British labor document to the care ful consideration of thoughtful peo ple everywhere and calls it "the most mature and carefully formulat ed program ever put forth by a re sponsible iiitlcal party." It is one of the most popular topics of dis cussion by the eastern press bearing on the internal Issues of the war, and is being considered with a wide degree of favor by progressive men and women. Already several com mendatory messages have been for warded to the British labor leaders expressing a desire for international action of a similar character. Four "Pillars" Shown. Reduced to Its four main "pillars" which scarcely do it justice because of lack of scientific detail which, the original document contains, are as follows: 1. The universal enforcement of a national minimum, which will In sure to everyone, in good times and bad alike, all the requirements of a healthy life and worthy citizenship. 2. The democratic control of in dustry: "A genuinely scientific re organization of Ihe nation's indus try, no longer deflected by individual proflteerir,"?, on tjie basis of common ownership of the means of produc tion and-the equitable sharing of the proceeds among all who participate and only among these." 3. A revolution In national fi nance whereby the colossal expendi tures Involved in the wr, as well as In future reconstruction and devel opment, shall be paid by Just taxa tion of the excess wealth of the na tion wherever found, and without encroaching on the prescribed na tional minimum standard of living of any family whatsoever; without hampering production or discourag ing useful personal efort. and with the nearest possible appoximation to equality of personal sacrifice. 4. The stirolus wealth for the common good, whereby, through na tionalization, municipalization ana properly graduated taxation, all sur- aisstlh twvnnrl nrnnir and rea- y,u9 v i J v -- - i ' - r - - sonable needs, shall be owned ana utilized alike for all the people, in the extension of Industry, scientific research, progress In art. literature, music and all that upon which the real development or civilization so fundamentally depends. foir Sioppifiii ...

Eberly. who before his cn- llftment was connected with the stat? forestry depattmnt. nnd who is now with the Tenth Forestry engineers in France, has been promoted to sec ond lieutenant, according to a letter received from Eberly by the office rorce of State Forester Elliott. Eb erly has somo Interesting things to tell about French life, and says H quite an attraction to the school children In the town of 20,000 peo ple where he has been stationed. His headquarters, however, at tne time or writing were in Paris.. Lieutenant Eberly's letter follows in part: . "Once more I am located in a reg ular place 'and can give you a wee bit of dope about nyself and this country which I am beginning to like a regular renchman. Perhaps this is because so far It has treated me so well. A few days ago I was re called from the supervision of the fuel supply for the largo American tarining camp and ordere to report to Faris where I was made second lieutenant. So now you all do not need to be ashamed of your repre sentative "over there.' Class Rules- All. "I can't begin to tell you how pleased It made me feel, but believe me, I had it coming, and tiow 1 know this army game both ways the one from seeing France through the sill in a French box car to living in the best hotels and traveling first class. Everything in this country is by clan f ram riding in an omnibus to going to a moving picture show, and when I get back I can tell you both sides of the story. "I have been in Paris altogether about two and a half weeks, and it Is all you ever heard It was and then a lot more. Of course It Is different since the War, but K Is al ways Tarls and life there is the Ideal one of all true French people. I un derstand that no soldier taking his regular leave is to be allowed In the city., therefore a very small per centage of the troops will ever get to see the place. My headuuarters are there, tut I have no very great de sire to be stationed there nermanest ly to much wild life fo old. Lb! I would much prefer the place whr I am located at present a small city of about 20.000 in which no Ameri can soldier have ever been before and I am the one and only living attrac tion can you imagine me In such a place? When I go down the street I hear the people say. ah! ha, . th-i American! and I am known by that name everywhere. The school child ren gather round me so thick I can hardly walk at noon .time, all trying to grab me by the hand and calling good-bye.'

All are pretty well, a few liog from pneumonia. "Mra. Eliott would love this town where I am now for there are all kinds of interesting things to see. A mamoth cathedral built In 600 and a lot of fortification and walls built to hold off the Romans.

And say, bunch, gather round while I try to tbank you lor those cigarettes. They saved my life I know.
