"The problem of meeting physical needs is not one of production, for we can produce all the food, clothing and most of the luxuries to supply the whole world. The difficulty is that we have not learned how to distribute commodities. The ills in this line are of chaos, confusion and competition of private interests trying to get rich out of what God provided us with," the Rev. Mr, Emmons said. "What does Christ offer to the world to remedy these conditions? He has no new system.

The world is flooded with new systems. You can get a new system most any day on the street corner if you listen to soaip box orators.

Other religions come and go, but Christianity contends that only through acceptance of Christ and his teachings can men be saved. "The contest for the loyalty of men is between what Christianity represents and other beliefs claimed to be non religious. I submit that Jesus Christ is the World's only hope. It is of tremendous importance that we who call ourselves Christians face up to the physical needs of the world and proclaim what Christ has to offer in this respect. "In the line of intellectual needs, we have been teaching generations of pec pie hew to think.

There have been notable developments in this field. As people have become more intelligent, there has been a tendency to drop God from their lives. During the last ten years science has undergone the mo it radical changes ever known. Seme are becoming preachers and directing thought to God as the supreme being to satisfy intellectual necessities. Christ presents the only adequate concept of Gad the world has ever known.

"What does Jesus offer for the sochl needs of the world?

Dr. (Republican Music Critic) Westminster church last night Intro duced the sweet and delectable Christmas carols in the service. The quartet, Lillian Brlmson Bryant, Magdalen James Davis, Edward Reese and John Burnett, never appeared to better advantage than in the rendition of these songs, llteratu.e and music which, if they have any demands, it is the clear distinctness of the spoken word. Who can resist the anneal of "The Shepherds Keep Their Flock," or "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," or "Sleep Little Dove." all reflecting the sim plicity of a past age? But carol sing ing has come under the influence of the march of musical education, and much elaboration envelopes the ancient songs. Yet.

Pruetorlus' "Lo, How a Rose," remains garbed in its simple beauty, as well as the old English "God Rest Ye." The list included "Lo. How a Rose." "The Shepherds Keen Their Flocks," Shepherds' "Christmas Song." "God Rest Ye," "Christmas Bells" and "Sleep, Little Dove." Arnold Lohmann was an assisting artist, and in a brief recital "Correnti" (Porpora Moffat). the Adagio from Bach's Toccata In "Eastern Romance" (Rimsky Korsakoff) and as an offertory Caesar Cut's "Orlentale." With Llewelyn Jones giving splendid organ accompaniment, this music was very beautifully played.
