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 Bostenlan who repented the har
v rowing tale te the Heuse committee
(based it, investigation developed, upon
a letter alleged te have been received
'from Constantinople by a student nt
Bosten University. The State Depart-

A rHMiiifihfn mnMtmlnn from this of
flclal inquiry and its result is that the
Bosten witness was ' Imposed, 'upon' by
fenarti!itl hit- nf nrnnk'innd manufac
tured for the.purpesc of, discrediting and
Dringing aoeut repeal 01 .me emergency
Immigration law. It failed of its pur-
Iiesc, but 'doubtless harrowed the tender
itnrts Of many credillbiis Individuals.
Its atgerlenl denial b' the State De
partment net only Should comfort these
sympathetic souls, but ought te place
all Americans upon notice that propa
gandist yarns and reports, however In
teresting, touching, artistic and ingen
ious, are net te be swallowed whole.
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."
Science and Religion
Te the Editor of the Evening Public I.edecrt
Sit I. fully appreciate all the won
derful things (iclcnce has done for the
world materially, but I cannot sec
where we have profited splritunlly by
the teachings of modern investigators.
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 alleviate the
struggle and sufferings of humanity?
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

A PRATER FOR "LIGHT"
As I wandered o'er the pebbled beach.
Where Inward came the flowing tide,
Whose silvery waves within my reach
Danced merrily by. my aide;
The pale moon burst from an asure sky.
And around me shone a ray te bright.
It drew from my heart a hopeful algh,
A prayer of a soul that longed for the
"Light."
Enraptured, I gated en that evening scene.
With upward leek te the start above.
When o'er, me stele a peace serene
Like the heartfelt joy of 'unchanging leve:
And at I thought of the premise given.
The realms et the blest eped te my sight,
My prayer by faith had reached te heaven,
And flooded my soul with Itt "Glorious
Light,"
