Where length of view is out of the question, lift of view is a supreme necessity. To be masters of circumstances we must stand on the heights of vision.
Rev. Sidney M. Berry
The battle of the Churches is either won or lost in the years of childhood or adolescence. The Churches which are making progress amidst the difficulties of to-day are those which set in the forefront of their programme the care and training of the young people.

"What the world needs is radiant goodness; goodness which makes you feel better for being in its company; goodness to which others may turn when they need help."

LONDON, January 5.
The secretary of the Congregational Union of England and Wales (Dr. Sidney M. Berry) announces that the Catholic Church has refused to cooperate in the Anglican Archbishop's appeal to all churches to participate in an international religious endeavor to obtain world peace.
Our moods in these war days have a lesson which illustrates the law of life, writes Dr. Sidney M. Berry, secretary of the English Congrégational Union. There are rare hours when we are inspired and cheered by some piece of exciting and hopeful news, but to let ourselves be unduly depressed when there is a long interval between those moments is not the spirit of those who deserve victory. It is in the long and tedious preparation that the secret of victory lies. Is there any lower price to be paid for all the great experiences of religion and of life?
