He said he thought that civilisation ¡conid not persist unless the principles of the Sermon on the Mount were applied to international questions. He did not condemn the League of Nations; on the contrary, he indicated that he expected great things from its operations, but he felt that some- thing more was required-a Christian spirit applied to public stairs."

There might be a tendency to feel that, after all, the League of Nations could not be expected to do very much. We have got to expect Nations," said Dr. Hodgsin. We a great deal from the League of, want a revival of religion that w not only make us say all men are our brothers, but will make us believe it so that our life throbs with that con- viction and we cannot look with superiority or scorn on any men wherever they are, of whatever race, or creed or class; we want this great religious spirit to sweep through our life so that we may begin to have a new faith in the future. It must be a religion that liberates men's minds and invites them to face the great facts of the universe-a religion,

if it is to be any good at all, must be

a religion that will show us not only hów to forgive our brother next door. but how to do that far more difficult thing, to forgive the nation that bas WTOGged us. We must learn how to take that further step if civilisation is to be saved. Otherwise we shall go on plunging the world into war after war and see civilisation come down like a pack of cards about our ears." Dr. Hodgkin concluded with this quotation, addressed to the young men of Europe and of the world: "Believe in the future, for none but you can. Believe in the impossible; it waits the help of your hands to become the inevitable."-Load sp- plause.)

It must be confessed that the results of the last year had not shown that the work of the League of Nations wAS likely to have any ve.y immediate effect, at present, in forwarding the cause of the reconstraction of the civilisation so greatly damaged by the war. The explanation might be that ounded.. Troops the League bad not sufficient driving power; it had been represented by too. many as the toy of statermen and diplomatiets. If the League of Ka tions was to be the success that every body des red, it must have the driving power of the peoples of the countries behind it. In order that it might became a ring thing it was necessary

An official communique states that rioting started in the mill area of Madras on the afternoon of October 5. Boubs were thrown at the police who fired on the mob. One person was killed and eight subsequently patrolled the area. The night was quiet.
