Kv,m rising or attempted re- j

Leader, bilng* up again the j
•imazing situation which exists in
a country inhabited by about 323,- i
•>00,000 Asiatics and ruled by a :
nation represented in India by not
more than 105,000 Ov possibly I
110,»00 civilians born in the Brit- i
ish Isles. There we only about I
1*75,000 of the 325,000,0(10 in-j
Habitants oi India who are classed i
b- the British census as speaking;

than half o? them are not of Brit- j

The native army, under ordinary
traditions. is about l''.n,i'0» stroug
. 11 tl it undoubtedly mIus to the
power oi the Anglo-ludian govern
ment. but it is most nuroitly and
.arefully handled to insure its loy

troops are quartered. ;.s a rule, w;

How l0!ij; this stati of things
can widtl ► is one oi the rid-ll-.*
i f the ago It is reported, from
:irae to time, that British rule i
gaining favor in India, and there !s
."easou to believe that it is true as
!ar as the rulers ot some of tie
•itive states and the upper classes
of the copulation are conceriiotl.
Out as for the masses of the ueo
,»le—more than 300,000,000 of
rhem—it will be time to take such
claims seriously when they aie
granted ordinary freedom in iiio
purchase and use of modern weap
ons.
In the largest sense, India is a
huge inverted cone resting upon a
very small apex serving as a base.
It seems inevitable that some time
the immense mass will topple over,
but it is by no means easy to per
ceive just how this can happen
without, a good deal of outside
pressure, by no means easy to ;:p
ply from any quarter \\ hatever.
MOVl.Nt; 1'ICTIKKS AM*
CHI kchi:s
There lias been some discursive
talk about the use of the motion
pictures in churches; in fact there
has been some considerable use of
them, but not to the extent that
would give any promise of general
custom. It is therefoij u matter 01
religious and sociological interest
that a reverend gentleman of Con
necticut announces his readiness to
furnish films suitable for church
use on a business basis. This go"
tleman is at the head ol the com
mission on social research and so
cial service for the diocese of (. on
r.ecticut, and it is clear from his
announcement that his enthusiasm
in the enterprise is not confined
However, the announcement in
question is a direct bid for this
class of business, anj it mentions
photoplays that are du-matic ;ls
well as religious in interest —
"thrilling dramas that pi each con
vincing sermons agains* white slav
ery. the drug habit, gambling, di
vorce, social impurity and the loubl
standard."
It is said that in churches win-re
the service of these picturse has
t-pcn accepted capacity irowds have
been the rule, and there is every
evidence that they awaken the con
sciences of these who could hard
ly be reached by any ether method,
l.'ne may reasonably suppose tiia:
these claims are true.
Convention and tradition may de
<lare that this departure from the
iisual conduct of church service
smacks of irreverence and lacks the
solemn and the moral dUi.ity that
i ertains to church atmosphere. Per
haps it is the fault of the churche:-- \
that there is too much of that i
solemnity ai.d too much of that dig
nity peri.tinuig to their atmosphere |
