"This European embrogllo t not Chris

of th Methodist convention ' last' night.
"People are merely excusing their own un
godly selfishness by the holy' word of
patriotism. Terrible wars of the kind now
under way across th sea are not pa

"The keynote of the doctrine of Christ
ha always been truth, altruism and
peace," continued Biahop 0!-l.am.
"To Islam, when Mohammed cried 'Let
the aword proclaim th true religion', the
Christian responded 'No,' becausa It wa

think? What doe th heathen think?
What ran he think?
"And yet w find that th men across the

May It not be that Ilu answer would be
