Mortimer of Auburn, formerly of West China, spoke on the Situation in Manchuria. She told a dream in which Christ stood before the League of Nations and. questioned every nation in turn concerning their attitude toward the impending war. By their answers each nation either denied Christ's power to rule the world as a Prince of Peace, or said that His policy had proved a failure. Then having heard them all Christ said, "Yon ntay have this one more war. But do you realize what it means? You will come on bended knee and imploreme to stop it. The only way I can teach you is to let you do what you want -but you will never want to do it again." As a most fitting conclusion she sang a piece of her own composition, "The Hornet Song." The Misses Dole of Westfield sang a duet "Burdens are Pressing in Somebody's life." Then Mrs. Crate of Lucknonv, president of the Hamil- ton Conference Branch, 'followed up what Mrs. ,Mortimer had said by be- ginning her address with the ques- tion "Do we really believe that Christ's program is adequate?"
