SITUATION BETWEEN
EUROPEAN POWERS
MORE COMPLICATED
GERMANY IS BOUND TO RUSSIA
BY TWO TREATIES, ALSO TO
OTHER NATIONS
LONDON, June 29. (/p)—The situa
tion between Soviet Russia and Euro
pean powers continues to get more
complicated. Germany is bound to
Russia by two treaties and on the oth
er hand bound to England, France, Bel
gium and Italy by the treaty of Locar
no. Hers is a chance to play both for
the benefit of the middle. Meauwhile
danger of war in Europe is being care
fully weighed both here and in Amer
ica. The trouble between Russia and
Poland and the difficulty between
Russia and Great Britain is viewed in
well informed circles as serious. Eu
ropean statesmen have to follow a
wise course to avoid conflict. How
ever the Soviet leaders are known to
be fearful that any conflict with Po
land might result in the army turning
against the present government and
establishing military dictatorships.

There is only one church, of which J
every true 'believer in Christ is a
member, regardless of color, race, or
or sect.
None can join it by any act or will
of their own. John 1:12-12. The
Lord adds to it such as should be
saved. Acts 2:47.
Outwordly, today the professing
church is divided into many schioms,
sects and organizations of men,
among whom the unbelieving word
is mixed to such an extent that it
has become difficult to discern the
true Christians from the professors
and hypocrites, taking refuge in their
midst under the cloak of religion.
Nevertheless amongst it all there
is the true church of Cod. Those
whose names are recorded in the
book of life, who arc joined together
by one spirit into that one body of
which Christ is the head. Eph. 1:22
23.
