; ; The Church of Today t
fflHESE are dark hoars for the church. In Russia the Or
thodox church was disestablished, the soviet preference
is atheism. In Germany the dictator seeks to graft, Norse my
thology on a de-semitized Christianity. Prussian clergymen
who resist the nazi-izingr of the church are put under arrest.
Jn the United States the church hangs on, like the republican
party; but it seems to have little voice in the direction of indi--vidual
or social destiny, and scant comfort to those broken
on the wheel of fortune.
Rev. Charles Stelzle, long a Presbyterian leader, has
written discouragingly of the decline of the protestant
churches in relative numbers and in influence. Here are two
paragraphs from his recent articles :
f "The city where the church Is weak has become dom
inant; tn country where the church, was strong has relative
ly declined. The tempo of Urine has chanced. Old-fashioned
Ideas hare gone out. The long-meter doxology has been sup
planted by swift-moving melody. Spiritual growth has failed to
keep pace with the material prosperity. Democracy has not lived
vp to Its promise of equal opportunity for all, with the result
that social. Industrial and racial conflict has disturbed human
: relationships.
j," a ' '
The influence of the church upon the moral and ethical
. affairs of the nations is today one of its weakest points. For two
thousand rears it has been preaching the doctrine of universal
t love and brotherhood. This has been its great commission. But
. during a time of war the church can apparently hate as bitterly
as the leaders of the conflicting nations. It seems to have got
no further in bringing the religious bodies of the world together
than' holding a few ecumenical conferences, the net results of
. which have been the passing of about the same sets of resolu
tions, which were buried in the records, to be revived and con
- suited by succeeding conferences.'
In the February Harper's David Carl Colony is even
more severe in his condemnation of the church as it is. "It
has been a long time," he comments, "since we have had a
living martyr". The outlook is dark, "unless the church
becomes militant against injustice and greed it will not be
long before the church in America goes the way of Russian
orthodoxy."
True it is that in almost every age folk have written
epitaphs for the Christian church, and still it has survived.
There can be little doubt however that honest synodical com
mittees reporting on "the narrative and state of religion"
will find little to relieve the gloom of the situation for the
church of today. This 13 only partly due to the economic de
pression wjth its political and social unrest. It is due to the
difficulty of the church to rebuild its credal pattern in the
light of modern knowledge. At a time when it should face a
world in flux with the spiritual anohors of eternal verities.
The preacher's cry: "AH we need is to apply Jesus Christ"
is vague and abstract. Mr. Colony lays out a more stirring
program:
J "The church must cease her everlasting preaching, in a
plaintive voice, of the kingdom of heaven. Heaven is wilh us,
; and hell too. The privileged few have taken to themselves most
of the heavenly joys. The Insipid preaching must cease. There
must be a break, before it is too late, with the crumbling order
v of selfish greed. Tacit approval of an evil economic structure
must be replaced by a thundering summons to repentance, an In
' slstent call to share the world's goods. The church must be the
first to set the example. Else, now that the reckoning is at hand,
the poor will soon or late proclaim the sacrifice of Jesus a hol
low mockery."
Another cause for the church's impotence today is its
financial worries. In more ways than one the church was tied
in with the old order. For instance, the depression caught it
heavily involved, loaded" up with indebtedness for costly
plant, or with expanded budgets for keeping up church ma
chinery. Shrinkages have been terrific; but the church is
still a costly establishment in terms of the message of -its
founder. Energies are expended on "meeting the budget"
rather than ministering to the spiritual and physical needs
of those in the parish. ,
The church is not and should hot be as opportunist as
a political party. It must have faith and courage to espouse
beliefs in spite of the ephemeral attitude of its public. But
it must continually renew its vitality by reversion to its
sources, must fight against being frozen in institutional or
ganization, and must meet the challenge of each age.
If the church does not serve humanity, how can it serve
God?
Flood Control
RIVERS on rampage seem to be doing more damage than
formerly; or at least louder complaint is heard. The
Santiam is particularly violent, especially about its mouth
near Jefferson. It drains a big mountain area, and the wa
ters after heavy rains tumble down madly to ravish the soft
soils of the valley floor. Rich! lands, the fruit of past cen
turies of river action in depositing - alluvium, are gnawed
into by the angry waters. There is the washing along the
banks, and there is the cutting of fresh channels as the river
gets out of its old banks. .
Similar troubles are reported for the McKenzie, a stream
with a character like the Santiam. County courts of linn and
Marion are conferring over the problem and Lane county
may join. The federal government confines its efforts to
stream control for purpose of navigation. But it J win take
some body like the state or federal government to protect the
river lands from continuous damage from our flooded rivers.
- Patronage Is proving a big Incentive to democrats to tilt tip their

white men, of his civilization and
wonderful achievements.

dissuade her from her purpose, at

love, notwithstanding that the
great civilized world treats them
as though they were animals of
lower degree. Although Uleta was
several years older than Winema
he was about as much behind
her in general knowledge as
the small white boy is behind his
sister five years bis senior. When
Winema had reached 14, she
was older in understanding than
any of her own race and sex of

"It was not nncommon for the
Link river Indians to visit the
miners in and around Yreka, Cal.
It was on one of these visits of
Winema's father that she first
met Mr. Frank Riddle. Frank was
a miner, and had in his cabin a
talisman which had been his an
chor through the stormy scenes of
a miner's life. It was a picture of
a fair haired girl whom he had
left behind him in 'Old Kentuck.'
He had carried this picture with
him through all his wanderings,
and It had been to him a reminder
of his vows. The fair face was
often before him, and always
seemed the loveliest on earth.

"When the old man, Secot. Win
ema's father, camped upon the
creek below Frank's cabin, he
little dreamed that this fact would
rob him of his child. Little thought
Frank Riddle that the plump,
round faced Uttle squaw would de
throne his boyhood's love, and be
come the empress of his heart.
After the day's work was over, he,
with his partner, would visit the
Indian camp and 'swap stories'
with the braves. '
"Several days passed, and Frank
began to observe that Winema
manifested unusual interest in the
talks. Often, too, he caught her
dark eyes, gating at him through
the long lashes. No words were
upoken, bet each, seemed to know
what the other was thinking.: Who
has not had the same experience?
Curious, that language of love can
be understood though never a vo

CHAPTER SIX
Three hours later when Drew left
Stanley he drove : straight to his
garage, left his car and walked six
blocks east to Dennis St John's
apartment. He would much rather
have gone to his own. He felt in
no mood for Dennis or for any
other girl for that matter. He was
completely In love with "Stanley and
now that he had leftther he did not
want to break the emotional wave
lengths that he felt were somehow
still binding them together. To see
Dennis, to talk to her, would do
this.
But he had promised her that
he would drop in at the apartment,

promise was a promise. Delight
fully unscrupulous about many
things, he seldom if ever broke his
word to a womanwhen it merely
involved the keeping of an appoint
ment. Ridiculously punctilious
about little things, he could be ut
terly disingenuous about bigger,
more important issues. He had
never hesitated to break a woman's
heart when it no longer interested
him, but it would never have oc
curred to him to break an appoint
ment, even when it was distaste
ful to keep it.
So he rode up in a smoothly glid
ing elevator and rang the bell of
Bennia' smart studio-apartment at
exactly six-fifteen.
"Hello all alone)" He tossed his
gloves and hat onto a table, crossed
the long room and bending over
her, kissed her lightly on the
mouth.
She sank deeper into dull velvet
pillows, put her cigarette back be
tween her lips. "I dont believe I
like you to kiss me any more,
Drew," she decided in her cool,
slurring voice. "It's too sort of over
and done with I've never found it
exactly satisfactory to kiss a per
son lightly after one has expert
mented with more ardent caresses."
Drew shrugged, smiled a little.
"Just as you say, Dennis we aim
to please." He walked over to a
table, picked up a bottle of Scotch
and poured some liquor into a glass.
"Mind If I have a drink T It's my
first today."
"Help yourself. There were cock
tails but the crowd finished them."
She Sicked her eyes at a litter of
glasses scattered about on the high
mantel and the piano.
Drew mixed another drink for
her, brought them over to where
she still slouched against huge am
ber pillows, "Well here's looking
at yon!"
They looked into each other's
eyes, drank slowly. He sat down
beside her on the divan.

thing," Dennis told him, staring at
him thoughtfully. "Quite the most
alluring male I have ever gazed
upon. Where did you come from
who are you, anyway. Drew?" .

she had gone for the horses, the

suspect the truth, but thought she
had only gone to some of her

PROVISIONS OF SALES TAX
The bill provides for IVt per

also exempt from collecting the

It is unlawful under this bill for
a merchant to advertise that he
will abnorb the sales tax. It must
