Tokio, April 8 A striking feature of the epidemic of influenza here was the grotewiae appearance of Tokio crowds wearing all kinds of respira tors, from the celluloid artificial nose to the patch of black tastefully em broidered by the aesthetic school girl.

Wl-iST KXD - When Leroy Seott's first picture for Eminent Authors "Partner's of the Night" is flashed on the screen, the following words, written by Mr. Scott, will give the key to the story and the soul of the new police gospel: "In this growing world of nobler purposes the old idea of the duty of i ne yun-e jum'ij to arrest criminals, is being replaced among our police ! officials by a new vision. The soul I of this new police gospel is that it is J a cheaper and wiser policy, and a sav ing of human lives und souls, to pre vent men and women from becoming criminals. "Re-enforeing this great idea, there - Is developing a second great move ment. This is the spontaneous effort j of police departments to cast out the evil within themselves the occasion al bad men who slip into every or ganization and thus strengthen themselves for their high mission of becoming one of the world's greatest agencies for uplifting mankind."

THE army that stands still is really retreating. The Master's command was a forward command, "Go ye into all the World." Out of the war the churches emerged with a new sense of the urgency of that command. "We must move forward all along the line," they said, and each denomination planned its own "Forward Move ment" to deepen the spiritual life of its members and equip itself with money and power. Then came the greater thought, "It is not enough for us to go forward. We must be sure that there is no duplication of effort; that cooperation prevails; that every man and dol lar does its utmost in service. "We must go forward together." So the Interchurch World Movement was formed a clearing house through which thirty denominations with out sacrificing their identity in any way can cooperate in the service of Jesus Christ. FOR MORE than a year trained experts have been at work making a scientific survey of the whole world, and of America county by county. " . The churches, for the first time in their history, have the full facts. United Pinancial are . s Mrtf ' jt They kxitrvr where America is overchurcbed and where vmder- churched. They Arnow exactly how they can cooperate in the foreign mission fields to produce the largest results in international education, inter national health and international good-will. - No business man can study that survey without being impressed by the accuracy and courage with which the task has been apprwkciied- , ON THE basis of the survey, the cooperating denominations will unite in a simultaneous financial campaign in the week of April 25th. The amounts asked for are large in the aggregate; they are small when divided among the church members of the nation smaller still when you count the whole number of men and women who love America. The average contribution to the church today is less than thre cents per member per day. Think of it. Yet if each person who loves and believes in America will increase his contribution by only a few dollars, the whole amount will be easily subscribed. Will you do your share for a better America and a bettor world? Your chance to help is coming in the week of April 25th.
