Would you advise the purchase of stock in the New Haven road? O. M. ' Your query is evidently, as-to wheth er New York New Haven & Hartford- What does all this mean? Why should the output of charters and the amounts of capital turned into new en terprises be oa such a tremendous scale? How should the investor re gard this development? That promoters of new enterprises i Railroad . stocks is an investment should be unusually active is due, of course, to the fact that the country was never so prosperous; that the amount of liquid funds was never so great, that both this prosperity and enterprise was started on a "shoe string,", the promoter got in on the "ground floor;" he took a great spec ulative chance and won.

Some of it is sunk in wild-cat mining schemes and other fraudulent promo tions; more of it is lost through lack in the shipping line, of personal en ergy, and ability, and of capital.

There never has been any question of their intellectual integrity. Not the least sublime phase of the war has been the struggle within the breasts of men eager to follow the light of truth. names, but close observers have seen that, one after another, practical ly all of the conspicuous churchmen who espoused the pacifist position have come out in unequivocal support of the course of the government, and of the ideals' "as set forth by the Presi dent in his address to Congress. This latter document, of course, has cleared the thinking of a multitude of people. Truth is being seen in its relation ships. A few days ago in the Yale Club in New York City there was given a luncheon by the Presbyterian paper The Christian Work, to Rev. John Kelman, of Udinburgh, the eminent Scotch preacher and author. It chanc ed that at this luncheon Jhere were a number of men who have been ac tive as pacifists, and there were in teresting glimpses or tne score ex periences of soul travail through which some of them had passed ere they came clearly to see and accept the po sition .taken by the 'country. Among them were leaders in the Federal Council of Churches, who had previous ly been alligned with the pacifist group. The host at the luncheon and with a Scotchman from the trenches as speaker, the occasion could scarcely be pacifist in charact er was Rev. Dr. Frederick Lynch, secretary of the Church Peace Union. In fine sincerity and open-mindedness, these men are now heartily prosecut ing the ideals for which best Ameri cans believe that the country now stands. What might have been a real schism in the churches has been avoid ed, and a new spirit of tolerance and sympathy is to be found among church folk as a result of the recent diversion of opinion! Quakers Have A Program. It is the Society of Friends .which, above all others, is opposed to war. J The peace movement has no more vigorous champions than the Quak-j ers; yet now this denomination is holding! repeated conferences and meetings to , consider, not how the war may be circumvented, or how pacifist doctrines may be preached, but to devise plans for serving the country and the World in the present crisis. There is no question about the whole hearted devotion of the people of Penh to the nation and its ideals. A program has been formulated by the Friends, bearing in mind their concern, for a real ministry to man kind, and, for the spread of truth throughout the whole world. This urges every member of the Society to do some kind of public and national service at the present time. "Garden patriotism," the care of soldiers de- Inl PEOPLE and Pnnc CorneTiFroht ess Streets. pendents, the intensification of sc cial service, . the defense of liberty of conscience, and freedom of speech in xne press, and all the good old American rights which are likely to be endangered in times of war, to gether with special care for aliens in this country this, roughly, is the program for the Society of Friends. "The Fellowship of Reconciliation." which had its membership largely in this denomination, is - taking as Its! , A 1- ... 1 special lasKine securing of positions for ' citizens- of enemy countries who have lost their , work because of their nationality, and the . nromotioh of a spirit of tolerance and? good will to wards-them; To keen down !anv ttx- pressidns of Dassion or hatred tar tne individuals of ? the enemr nations Lutherans In A Difficult Place. Just as the pacifists have emerged so creditably from a trying .situation, so the Lutheran' churches have brought great credit to themselves by the way in which they have conduct ed their activities and utterances during these times of rupture between America and the land of Luther. This is the year of the quadricentennial and much is being heard qI Luther and the Reformation. All Lutheran churches root back into Germany. Yet Hn undeviating loyalty and in fine Christian fraternity, the Lutheran leaders are holding steady to the great ideals of Christianity although the ploughshare of war i entering deeply into their souls. A recent statement of the joint committee "of the quadricentennial of the Reformation has issued the fol lowing request to all the churches: "The Joint Lutheran Committee of the quadricentennial of the Reforma tion has issued the following request to all the churches: n "The Joint Lutheran Committee of the Quadricentennial of the Reforma tion, in view of the chastnlng hand of the war, which has been laid upon our beloved land, and the deep sorrow that has come upon so manv of. our brethren in the faith in the various lands affected by the conflict which has so long been raging, recommends: "That, durifigetao etaoin etaoin etao every celebration of the great event wnence nas come tne evil and re ligious imerty wnicn nas given our nation its being and distinctive place among other nations, be tempered by the remembrance of the sufferings of the present time, accompanied by earnest prayer for the Church, the na tion, and the world, and be directed towards a general return to the relig ious principles of the Reformation in the re-application of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, in its purity and simplicity, to the needs of a ' sinful and dying world . " American Christianity is . rising to tne occasion ot the war in splendid fashion. Her prophets are making themselves heard. Fundamentally the war is a spiritual experience. It is caused by a fight for the ideals of the gospel. It should result in a real revival of religion among all serious minded people. THB-RELIGIOUS RAMBLER.
