THE QUIET OBSERVER. Philadelphia. April 20, 1022. i "imprepatjanda" j te thn Editor of the EveninQ Jtyttfc Ledger! Sir Several months age a Bosten witness, appearing before the Heuse I Immigration Committee, testified, in I effect, that seventeen Armenian women land children, debarred from ndmlnslen ft6 the United States under the emer gency immigration lawi had been "foully murdered" en their return te Turkey. The crime took place Inst September, it was asserted, en the decks of Constan tinople. The Secretary of Laber, taking cog- Blsance of this charge, reiiuestcd the State Department te investigate. In a letter made public last week Secretary of State Hughes reports that, a searching Inquiry" conducted by the American High Commissioner at Constantinople ascertained the present whereabouts of thA alleced victims: that all are living. Innd that none had heard of any llard 1 ships suffered by members of the party ten arrival at Constantinople.

The propaganda industry is working at capacity both .at home. and abroad. It is net' ft violent straining of the situation,-revealed by. this latest flndlnref our State Department, te reach the opinion that about nine-tenths of its output is properly te be classified as "lmprepngnnda."

Docs it make us better men and women te believe that'Od did net create the earth; that we arc descended from the anthropoid ape, or that there is no Ged nt all? Would net the world be it bet ter place te live In if we, each and every one, believed In nnd practiced the-doctrines and teachings of the Bible? Tnkc that away, and what can we. hope for hereafter?

Will modern thought give us the courage nnd natlence we need te bear our bur dens; te be honest with ourselves and. enr neighbor And It wc have no su preme Being in whom te place our faith, hew shall we have faith in hu manity ? The world is, restless, weary of the self-inflicted burdens, and fearing Its Ged has failed It, has promptly set about te deny the existence of Its Ged. Science has made progress, and new that It lias progressed se far, would go farther In trying te understand that which is net given te man te under stand, and because it cannot see and understand Ged, would utterly disprove Him. It is simply a case of- man in his cgettsm refusing te accept that which he cannot understand. Science will form many theories, but I ' venture te say it willnevcr penetrate Ged's mys teries, and In "the effort will de mere hurm than geed. T. X. T. Harrlsburg, April 22, 1922.
