Nicaragua and American Intervention (Continued from page 462) need for the influence of the politically advanced nations on the politically backward ones is firmly rooted in deep conviction. If I have criticised sometimes the American policy in Nicaragua, I have done so on the ground that it has not protected the Nicaraguan people from abuses of power with the same energy that it has defended the stability of bad Governments, such as those of Chamorro and Diaz. The Department of State offers the defense that it neither can nor should act against the sovereignty of the republic; but the misfortunes of the Nicaraguan people are worthy of some consideration; and if we were not allowed to crown with laurels of victory the costly triumph achieved by the Constitutionalist army, watch should be kept so that our adversaries might no longer invade the rights of a weakened and disarmed people. Although it is said that nations can develop in isolation, history does not support the statement. Vestiges of lost civilizations in India, Persia, and Egypt enlightened Greece and Rome. Sparks of the light stamped upon by the I did manage to assemble a good man, piecing him together with scraps from my reader, the Temperance Catechism, and the admonitions of my teachers. He was frugal in all matters save industry. It was his special pride that he had worked for fifty years without a vacation. The first dollar he ever earned was framed and hung above the desk where he was to be found six days a week, an hour before his clerks arrived in the morning. When he spoke, which was not often, it was to quote moral maxims: "Honesty is the best policy;" "Waste not, want not;" "Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." Any suit of clothes was satisfactory if it was black; and his socks were three for a quarter. He was superintendent of the Sunday school, and not niggardly toward church and mission funds. He voted the straight Republican ticket. He was a little dry, but not a bad fellow at all. Has he any place in the modern scene? Well, the President is undeniably popular. How closely does that image, evolved twenty-five years ago, fit Mr. Coolidge? On a Highly Desirable State (Continued from page 466) barbarians remained in the religious orders of the Middle Ages and relighted the torch of civilization for Europe and America. So the more developed republics transmit their laws and their democratic habits to those that are still in their infancy. Nicaragua gained independence, but republican habits were foreign to us. Monarchical and absolutist roots had penetrated deeply into Nicaraguan society. We must learn from others the ways of republicanism and liberty. Such were the ideas that brought about the surrender of the Constitutionalist arms. We rest upon the promise of Henry L. Stimson, made in the name of the United States. The honor of the United States we consider a sufficient guaranty. When the United States carries out its pledge and safeguards the establishment of a fairly elected representative administration, the gain will be twofold: It will strengthen constitutional government throughout Central America, and it will revive in all Latin America confidence in the disinterested purpose and good faith of the United States.

NAME ADDRESS "6-61" into the saddle. It is going to have a good deal to say about the affairs of the Nation for the next twenty years. It is going to have a President; it is going to dominate government and industry for a time before it goes the way of all men. Yet here it stands with a drink in its hand and confusion in its heart. Muddled! And twenty good years ahead; work to be done; and life asking to be lived. Ascetism might do. It might do very well. It is in the American tradition. But moral perfection Not another word about it, except to insist that it is an issue along with prohibition, larger than prohibition. Both have to be dealt with. Where shall we begin? A first-rate beginning, it seems to me is a frank confession of fundamental belief by a wet leader, along the lines suggested in an earlier part of this article. Is there a wet who can take a drink without fear of damnation and without undue concern for m- -1 p-n? What is James W. Wadsworth doing with his time these days?

For multitudes, life is hollow; it has no inherent meaning. Happiness is luck; it depends upon adventitious circumstances. If you are prosperous, if your work is congenial, if you are happily married, if you have children who turn out well, life indeed seems worth while. But when circumstances are adverse, where are the springs of happiness and courage? How can one keep the captaincy of his soul when life's common goods turn to ashes? Great souls are now living among us who have met life on its own terms and yet have gone steadily on their way. THE CHRISTIAN CENTURY has induced a notable company of such men and women to write, intimately and revealingly, on this subject, beginning in the first issue of 1928.

WARD Interpreter of socialized religion and champion of the underprivileged. What the War Did to My Mind T IS NEARLY ten years since the close of the world war-long enough to warrant our now taking inventory of its effects upon our thinking. Who of us looks out upon the world with the same eyes that he used in 1914? What change in outlook, in convictions, has the terrific experience of the war produced in your mind? That question has been put to a dozen thinkers who, as a group, cover a wide range of intellectual variety. They will answer it in The Christian Century beginning in January. Among the contributors to the discussion will be HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK MORDECAI JOHNSON A Negro scholar and gentleman. PAUL JONES A Bishop of the Episcopal Church who STEPHEN S.

Carefully read the coupon in the lower corner of this announcement TO THE GREATER VOICES! MODERN SOCIETY is undergoing profound changes. Is the church functioning fruitfully under modern conditions? Do these conditions demand radical readjustments in the form, the message or the habits of the church? Under the title, The Church in Our Time four groups of outstanding thinkers and leaders will present their views in The Christian Century beginning at an early date. Note the lists of distinguished writers and their topics: Does the Briand Proposal Dare the Latin States Toward Peace? Trust America? If the Pope Gains Temporal Power-What Then? un The Christian Century, an denominational journal of religion, has established the habit of confronting such issues with candor and independence. It speaks from within the church, but its utterances are not constrained by official relation with any ecclesiastical or other organized agency. It circulates among thoughtful laymen and ministers of all denominations and is read by many outside the churches. for 1928 SAMUEL MCCRAE CAVERT Secretary Federal Council of Churches WM.

Judge Lindsey, however, wants to go further than merely writing and talking. He wants to see the changes he proposed put into practice. A few days ago he is reported as saying that he is in favor of Governor Smith for the Presidency provided the Governor does not let his religion dictate his attitude toward marriage and birth control. SINCE this is so, it is only fair to ex amine seriously the facts on which Judge Lindsey bases his case for change. Of these facts, scientific birth control is the first. Is there such a thing? And is it a good thing? Some people say yes; some say no. In this issue we print an article by one of those who say no-Dr. Joseph Collins, New York physician and author. SINCE, admittedly, the whole subject is one on which opinions may differ widely, we shall publish other papers on this and other aspects of Judge Lindsey's proposals until a clear and intelligent view of the whole thing is possible. IN 'N the meantime we recommend a perusal of Fred Eastman's account of the work of "Bell of the Iron Range" -as his "sky pilot" is usually known. It is some years since we personally sat in Bell's small office in the Minnesota iron country. But we know that Dr. Eastman does not overstate Bell's achievement. There seems to be no end to man's variety in point of view. F. R. B. |
