By International Nrna Venire.
Moscow, May 3.—Bishop Edgar
Blake, of Chicago, III., who said hr
spoke for the Methodists of thr
l oiled States, created a sensation
today when lie defended the soviet
revolution in a speech before the All
Knssian ecclesiastical council of the
living church. Tltis is the branch of
tile orthodox church which supports
the soviets.

odists of America." said Bishop Blake.
"These distressing days are witness
ing one of the most remarkable up
heavals In history. But I do not
share the" fears that civilization is
doomed.
"Revolutionary upheavals do .tot
bring death, but larger life inspired
by God. It Is folly for the church
to pronounce anathema against those
who are seeking new truth.
"A Great Struggle.”
"The church must seek the 'great
adventure' of free investigation. A
church's right to exist is only to
serve the people. Only a few chal
lenge the right of the church to exist.
"A great struggle is iu progress to
.• bolish oppression.
"Those who have been oppressed
and exploited must be given a chance
at the best things in life. In this
s'l-uggle the church cannot stand
aloof. Russia is passing through a
great social and economic experiment.
For the first time in history a great
nation and a great people are dedi
_ i ating themselves to the set vice of
" mankind. But unless God assists how
can this movement succeed?
‘‘.Should Join Hands.”

Now, a Quick
Quaker Oats
Cooks m3 to S mutatos
TW« quickest coofcaq mu ia tba world
Now your grocer has Quaker
Oats in tw\> styles. One the kind
you have always known—the other
is Quick Quaker.
Quick Quaker cooks in from 3 to
5 minutes. Aud it cooks to pertec
tion. So it is almost like a ready
cooked dish.
No other oat flakes on the market
cook anywhere near so quickly.
The two styles are identical in
quality and flavor Both are flak'd
from the finest grains only—just the
rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel
of choice oats yields but ten pounds
of these delicious flakes.
But in Quick Quaker the oats are
cut before flaking They are rolled
very thin and partly cooked. So the
flakes are smaller and thinner—that
is alL And those small, thin flakes
cook quickly.
Ask for Quick Quaker if you want
this style. Your grocer has both.
But always get Quaker Oats for
their delightful flavor.
Controversy in Morse
Trial Ends Suddenly
Washington, May 2.—The first big
controversy which has developed be
tween government and defense counsel
at the Morse trial was ended abrupt
lj today with an announcement that
Charles W. Morse and his son, Harry
I’. Morse, had no objection to the ad
| nine:on of the testimony which Their
1 attorneys were seeking to exclude.
The testimony has to do with con
ference* late In 1917 between B. G.
Higley, a New York lawyer, and at
that time connected with various
Morse concerns, and the Morses, re
garding the advisability of construct
' ing the Virginia Shipbuilding corpo
ration plant at Alexandria. Va. Coun
i sel for the defense insisted that since
i .Mr. Higley acted as counsel for the
Morse*, the communications passed at
the conference were privileged and
could not be disclosed by H gley on
the witness stand.
