KANSAS CITY— Orave problems
growing out of the international
situation in countries where the
Episcopal church works will face
the fifty-third triennial general
convention of that body when it
meets here Oct- 9 to 24.
Foremost will be the future of
Eriscopal^ church work in Japan.
This work’ is subject to recently an-
nounced governmental regulations
which may require the retirement
of American missionaries from
Japan and the withdrawal oT fin-
ancial assistance Irom America It
Is hoped by church leaders that
the Japanese work may continue
probably under the leadership of
Japanese bishops and clergy. The
convention will consider reports
from American bishops in Japan.
a_s well as receive the counsel of
the Rt. Rev. Shirley Nichols. Bishop
« of Kyoto vho will attend the ses-
" tri* in Kansas City.
The convention will consider like-
wise. the future of mission effort
In China Influenced by the unde-
clared war with Japan and the
stand to be taken by the church
and by church people generally as
to the European war. It is expected.
A new church law governing
the remarriage of divorced persons
will be up for consideration. The
proposed new canon would forbid
the marriage by a nEpiscopal cler-
gyman OT any man or woman who
has been married and whose spouse
la still living unless the former
marriage had been declared ec-
clesiastically null by the bishop of
the diocese. A person who remar-
ries in defiance of the law of the
church would lose communicant
status but the proposed new can-
on law provides for the restoration
of such status and a blessing upon
the subsequent union under speci-
fied conditions specifically the ap-
proval of the Bishop .ind assurance
that the parties accept the church's
Ideal of marriage as a lifelong
Union OT one man and on® woman.

This Week s Sunday School Study
Text: Proverb* 11:24-31
Luke 16:11-13
By WILLIAM E. GILROY D D.
Editor of Advance
• ur lesson* during this quarter
have for the most part shown a
very* good balance of Old and New
Testament teaching. Here in the
discussion of the use and abuse
of wealth we have wise words from !
Proverbs reinforced with the
leaching of Jesus.
The w'riter of Proverbs states
what we all ought to know yet
what comparatively few of us re-
ally believe and act upon namely
that there is such a thing as
giving and scattering and yet in-
creasing. The farmer who sows
his seed knows this. If he sows
sparingly he will reap sparingly.
As a matter of fact he has to
scatter his seed with great pro-
fusion. with the knowledge that
not all of it may germinate and
with the realization that possibly
much of it that does germinate
will be cut off by frost by blight
or by some other cause.
If he calculated w’hat he would
get from each individual seed he
would be in danger of getting no
crop at all. He must scatter lib
er-lly and freely over’ the ground i
if he is gome to have a harvest
under the most favorable condi-
tions.
• • •
As this is true in the physical
world it is also true in the spirit-
ual world. We cannot reap a har-
vest of kindness unless we sow
very liberally the seeds of kind-
ness. We cannot have a life of
richness and fullness ourselves
If we are self-centered and selfish.
The man who withholds his
grain from people who are starv-
ing has upon him as the writer
of Proverbs says the people's
curse while blessings are upon the
head of the man who does not
hoard but who makes his gram
available.
However the matter is not one
merely of the cursing of the one
man or the blessing of the other.
They are cursed or they are bless-
ed inherently in their deeds. The
wise man said long ago that the <
man who trusts in his riches has
put his confidence in something <
that may fail him. We have plen- 1
ty of evidence of that during re- i
cent years.
There is nothing fine or blessed '
bout poverty. As a matter of
act. it is tragic not to have suffl-
ient for ones needs. But what
ioes man gain when he has a
great deal more than he needs
or normal living? There comes a
ime—although It may only be In
he hour of death — when his
iches fail him and are almost en-
lrely worthless.
When I was a boy there used
;o come to our home the bound
r'olumes of a monthly papier de-
igned for home reading. I remem-
>er on one page with a very
>tnking Illustration there was
he story of the wreck of a ship
going home from Australia with
x number of miners who had
itruck it rich.
The picture represented these
niners as frantically removing
heir gold belts and throwing the
gold away and underneath the
jlcture was the legend. ‘Take it
nho will ... we are all going
iown.“
Gold was wrorth nothing what-
ever in that crisis. And it Is
xorth nothing more than that
mder any circumstances unless it
is used in accordance with the
Kisdom that God gives.

of English writers it would be more
lust to say that in former times no
(air opportunity was given to natlvo
talent for the development of such
a school. But Orest Britain and
Ireland have not been wtthout hon-
or In the annals of musical achieve-
ment. Brownsville will have tbo
cg.poitunity of hearing the superbly
beautiful oratorio The Holy City.**
by the English composer Alfred R.
Gaul. Written by an Englishman*
and conducted by an Englishman
David L. Ormesher a man who had
tha singular privilege of knowing
personally the composer the orato-
rio promises to be one of the moel
satisfying that Valley music lover*
have had the opportunity of hear-
ing.
Origins bet Out
The literary' setting of The Holy
City" Is the more dramatic parts of
the book from which many of tha
numbers are taken viz. tha Vision
of St. John as found in the Book of
Revelations Tha text la not an
apic or a narrative but a direct ex-
pression of emotional ieeling al-
ways with the most impressive usa
of the chorus as the most important
medium of expression
The first part of "The Holy CitjT
was suggested by the passages of
Holy scripture. Here have we no
continuing city.” The opening
chorus is majestic and impressive
the text following the familiar
wrords. “No shadows yonder? All
light and song!”
The desire for a higher life ai
eiqrressed in the words My soul la
athirst for God." is the setting for
the tenor solo which follows. Grady
Whittle who has already endeared
himself to Valley audiences through
his beautiful slnilnc in -Th#
atlon-' last spring will sing the tea*
or solos.
Short Trio
Then succeeds what Is popularly
considered the gem of the work—
the short tno for female voices. T*
shall come to pass that at eventido
it shall be light.’* A passage ex-
pressive of the perfection of the
higher life is the contralto solo
Eye hath not seen.” Miss Ivy Cath-
erine Boone whose rich voice is pe-
culiarly adapted to these particular
solos will sing the contralto role.
The second part of the oratorio
was suggested by the words. T
saw a new heaven and a new earth
for the first heaven and the firs*
earth were passed away.’** thus real-
izing the promises and the deslro
contained in the first part. Paul
Llndhom of Brownsville who Is al-
ready well known for hla splendid
work in "The Creation'* and tha
•Seven Last Words’* will sing tha
bass solos in this presentation.
Appealing Portion*
The solo airs are of a piously rt-
flectlve character. The one which
will perhaps have the most direct
appeal to the audience is the dis-
tinctively beautiful and melodic
tenor air. To the Lord our God
belongs mercies and forgivenesses."
Equally appealing and full of depth
and originality Is the soprano air.
These are they which came out of
great tribulation" Miss Margaret
MrCandless of Ban Benito a mu-
sician of great ability and wide ex-
perience. will sing this the wily so-
prano solo in the oratorio.
Scholarly Writing
It will be found by thoughtful
musicians that the entire oratorio
shows some very scholarly writing
both solo and choral. It is full of
originality and shows depth and
creative power not the least re-
markable being the final chorus.
The choruses are thrilling and glo-
rious. but the eighty voices whlcii
thrill the audience with "Great and
marvellous are Thy works. Lord
God.” are no less appealing in theig
way. than the quietly beautiful in-
strumental Introduction and inter-
mezzo played by Mrs B F Hardin
ft* the organ and Miss Doris Ana
Biggs at the piano.
