Bishop's Remarkable

Sermon

"IF CHRIST WERE IN ITALY"

The belief that Jesus Christ would be murdered again to-day in Italy was expressed by the Bishop of London (Dr. Winnington Ingram, in St. Paul's Cathedral

"Let Him stand up in Italy and

denounce the use of poison gas upon defenceless barbarians,” said the Bishop, "and he would be at once imprisoned arid probably shot as a traitor. Let Him stand in the 'Rrinc country and denounce hatred and auspicion between nations, and he would probably be shot at by both sides.

"I preached from this pulpit on Easter Day, 1918, when the British Army had been forced to retire and defeat seemed more than possible. The "present Easter has the gloomiest outlook in all the 18 years since." he continued.

"One Christian nation is attack- ing another Christian nation, the use, against all signed conventions, of the most terrible poison gas be- ing met with the most revolting mutilation's in revenge, if the Egyptian Red Cross unit is to be believed,

All being well one will be able by the end of this year to go from Calais to Hongkong by train-a journey of six distinct stages and approxi- mately 18 days.

The future of the Christian religion was not too cheery a pros- pect, he added, Russia had alto gether repudiated it, although no power could really crush the Rus sian spirit of worship. In Ger- many it was changed into a national religion, of which the god was Germany; and whatever the cadees of the tumult in Spain, nothing could excuse the pillaging and burning of monasteries and Cathedrals.

The history of the line dates back to 1904, when a contract for its construction, was given to the American China Development Company. Dificulties arose and construction ceased, but was re- sumed after the conclusion in 1911 of the Hukuang loan. Then, how- ever, came the anti-Manchu revo- lution, and construction ceased again, leaving a gap between a northern and a southern section. the gap which has now been ailed

WOMEN'S STATUES

London, April 22.

A feminist movement in Paris has discovered that there are only four, statues of famous women

there, and has protested against the perpetration in stone of so many tigly men.

London has a few more female statues, but not enough to satisfy the feminists. There are several statues of Queen Victoria, one of Queen Elizabeth, two of Queen Anne and one of Queen Charlotte- to say nothing of Boadicea on the Embankment
