Six K. U. Representatives Attend Five Day Meet Which Closed January 1
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 30. (By mail) Should domination militarism continue in religious missions in other countries; is Christ the way or a way; is the United States' attitude in sending missions; to protect its missionaries explanable are the immigration restrictions of the United States justifiable?
These are the main questions which have come back to the group of three thousand people who met in 2014 sensiting all parts of the world, in the first three days of the five-day meet.
FOUR PAGES
Kansas was represented by 65 students from 15 colleges and universities. Six of these from the University of Kansas are: Katherine Sutherland, Margery Day, Marion Leigh Austin Van der Silie, Wary Wenders these delegates represent different religious organizations of Mt. Oreal.
Foreigners Speak
Without fail, practically, these speakers have emphasized the need to teach the proper sort of lives and the taking into consideration of the good in religious regions with which they come in contact.
The majority of the speakers of the first three days of sessions have been foreigners who are outstanding Christian workers in their respective countries. All have been missionaries in countries at one time or another.
"Christianity is brotherhood, good will, and friendship and those with patience are the secrets of missionary work," said Henry T. Hodgkin, a Chinese missionary and leader in British student Christian movement.
South America Develops
John Mackay, of South America, pointed out that there was a new development of the sense of humanity in the cases at which women at the present time and that it approaching these people the misanthropic attitude of men toward the rights and beliefs "we must convince them that religion is not identified with dogma or ritual."
"These opposite relationships, contacts and viewpoints of America, lead the foreigners to look upon this country as unquestionably good that spirit opposed to the spirit of Christ," he said. "This condition therefore, coupled with the segregative methods, has resulted in natives who are in america, embarrasses the missionary project, and the Christian church is embarrassed because it has not been able to bring forth Christ's fully the hearts and minds of peoples."
All speakers have emphasized, but it was forcefully presented by Mordelea Jelshon, an energetic worker among the Mergova movement, that unchristian America was called so because of the opposite relationships which men presented in foreign countries, mercifully compared with imperialists compared with missionaries.
Sherwood Eddy, formerly a missionary in India and a leading religious worker in this country today touched deeply the same people pointed out four reasons why the United States should continue the missi-
share of life.
2. The United States has the knowledge and experience of Christ.
4. There is a stark need in the world for Christianity.
1. Because Christianity implies unity of race and love with the full charge of life.
edge and experience of the United States. 3. It is an enormous responsibility that the United States should share since it is the richest nation.
Arthur W. Beaven, of Rochester N. Y., carried on the thought that America must continue with it because, as he emphasized, We can'
quit now.
Now, you have these nations receiving all the means of power commercially and economically and leave out the spiritual life entirely questioned. "The idea of power in all phases of life must keep balanced,"
He also included that missions were receiving much criticism because this was a day of tragedy, and it did it gladly, of anything or anybody. He concluded with the statement, "We have no place in the foreign field today."
Part of the Kansas delegation, including those from KK U., took a trip across the Dusty Bay and Saturday afternoon. The quadrennial convention ends Sunday night and the majority of attendees are expected to reach home Monday night.

Airplane Travel Lines Run Daily From Berlin, According to Speaker
Travel, Life, and Labor Abroad Discussed by C. M. Ripley of Schenectady
C. M. Ripley, of the General Electric Company of Schenected, N. Y., in a 20-minute address before an enlistment ceremony for life, and labor here and abroad.
"In Europe thousands of people飞 very day between scores of large and mall cities," said Mr. Ribley.
He stated that it was safe, fast, popular and cheap. They advertise liberally "Don't stop to write, fly." He only cost eleven dollars to fly two miles from New York to Zurich, Switzerland; it costs forty some dollars to fly between London and London, about eight hundred miles, and it takes nine hours in place of twenty eight hours. There are five cities where he opened out 'from Berlin, running every day.
U. S. May Have It Soon
He got it some day, and it is coming rainy season.
He pointed out that this airplane service is of no particular benefit to the airport.
Make Most Automobiles
In the United States there are twenty-two million automobiles and there are twenty-seven and one-half million in all the world. Just five and one-half million autos in all the world are not in operation in the world but a great number of them are manufactured in the United States.
He stated that a few examples of the great many where the United States has two-thirds orally called two-thirds of the telephones in the world are in the United States, European telephones are largely man-made, and we seem to have been able to popularize them. There are more telephones in the city of New York than in all of the country.
Ripley stated that in London there are over 30 different electric companies and that one-half of the companies supply Chicago. There is one. The one company in Chicago sells twice as much electricity as all of the London companies. The density of the price is twice that of the average Chicago price. London has an area of nineteen square miles, and there are approximately trifectic for every half square mile.
Our Current More Uniform
Every time a London resident wants to move he is liable to have to get all new electrical equipment for his new flat, and this increases from 400 down to 90 there are cycles that arise from 25 to 120. In the United States the current is more expensive than it was in the past and few
Another point that Mr. Ripley sought out in his lecture was that wage warfare is a three times as much money or his labor as does the foreign lauter, but their output is three times than the output of the 40%igner.
Freshman Court Squad Divided Into Four Teams
A few more men will be dropped in order that eight or nine will remain on each team. Practice is held at the usual time 16 to 8 p.m.
In this way the United States can compete with its foreign competition. The reason for the great output of the United States in labor is that the work is much more skilled than that of the foreign worker.
Freshman basketball practice will sign in earnest this week when the 10 members comparing the squad are all ready to play. They will play the first games of a double-round-score schedule, Coach Bunn said many times before. The team is able by ability or by location but by natural groupings; those men skating to play together being alike.
Nerbuhr Explains Reason He Is Not a "True Christian"
Detroit Minister Will Be Principal Speaker During Week of Jan. 8
In the last issue of the Christian Century, Reinhold Niebuhr, who will be the principal speaker here during religious week, says he felt sorry for himself in a recent evangelistic meeting with a priest who preached him and asked if he was a Christian. "I told him I was; and felt like a hypocrite. Under my breath I said, 'I don't know.' There was no cynicism in my reaction. I said, 'I hate little and kind,' his kind who find it so simple 'give their hearts to Jesus.'
In his article, "Why I am not a Christian," Mr. Neibroul says that being a Christian involves much more than giving your heart. Civilization is about comfort and confidence in comforts and advanced ideas stance always between giving and having.
"Can I really preach love to the man who envises my good fortune if I do not allay the envy by sharing the spiritual adventure? The "Spiritual adventure does demand material sacrifice. Love cannot express itself in trust if it cannot express itself through reason. If the reason I find so it difficult to be a Christian is because I live in a civilization which has identified happiness as theological comfort as no other before it."
Physical Comfort Stressed
"At this point I am not sure whether I am all together on the side of you, or not with them in situations. Western civilization is built upon the complete renunciation of the strategy of Jesus. We have taken the word "renunciation" to mean about what we shall eat and drink and wherewithall we shall be clothed. And we must renounce renunciation with life's physical appurtenances too far, but I see no advantage in the poverty of Asia over the prosperity of Europe."
Here Religious Week
Reinhold Niebull will be the principal speaker at the Annual Religious Week held here Jan. 8, 9, and 10, 2016.

Cafeteria Hours Change
Ieavy Expense Causes Closing Earlier in Evening
The new cafeteria will start 1928 by closing at 6:30 each evening instead of at 7 as was the case in 1945 according to Mrs. Ethel M. Evens, manager. The change was made, she said, because of the heavy expense of remaining open and paying staff for the few meals served during the last half hour of the evening. She expressed the belief that the few who had been coming early were deprived by the change. Otherwise the schedule will be the same as formerly
The year 1927 closed satisfactorily for the cafeteria, according to the manager. Student and faculty patronage rates were lower; it has prices charged for foods, it has been possible to buy equipment and make necessary changes.

Uncertainty of financial success of class parties under the present status was the cause for the recommendations made by the president of the council.

Potential of publication of a booklet student directory resists with Alfred Graves, of the department of journalism in the University of the temporary Kansan directory published in October.
