"Wretched conditions in Russia and other countries prove that nominal Christianity cannot Burvlvc," said Dr. Fulkerson in opening his address last evening at tho Methodist church. "Wo must put up a vital typo of Christian ity that will make Itaolf felt In politics social life, and tho economic world, or go out of business." In speaking of tho world situation tho thing most critical Is. tho fact that this Is tho first time In tho history of tho human history when neary evory nation has met a crisis at tho sumo tlmo. Individual mil ions havo not passed tholr crises, hut universality of the same thing that has shown ituolf following this grcnt war constitutes tho greatest problem that Christianity has ovor faced. "To bo or not to bo Is frankly tho problem of tho church today. Christianity has not failed, the thing that has failed Is a purely nominal typo of Christianity.

Thoro is no place on this contlnont for a con glomeration of language. The sad experiences of Austria nnd China aro outstanding examples of this policy. National cohesion demands a common language.
