Christianity is charity. Charity does not
mean chucking q beggar a quarter for which
you do not especially care, but love for your
~neighbor, tenderness of his good name, soli-
citude for his welfare. In charity there is no
hatred, in Christianity there is no bitterness.
Beloved let us love one another; for love is
of God. If q man say, 1 love God, and hateth
hi. brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth
not his brother whom he hath seen, how can
he love God whom he hath not seen~

COLUMBIA Fifth street man says he does
go to church; he goes to the newspaper
church. Every Sunday newspaper within
reach, as well as every weekly and magazine
he can. manage to pay for are spread out for
the days feast. Services usually last from
10 q. m, to Up. M; music supplied by the
'organ!'" This may be funny but it is not
good sense. Laziness is an evil on Sunday as
well as on Monday. There are duties for both
days, and these duties cannot safely be shirk-
ed. If the Fifth street man intends any com.
pliment at all to the publications in question,
it is that they teach enough religion and NOR.
alfty. But as q matter of fact they do moi
and cannot. The newspaper and the maya
zine cannot fill the place of the preacher and
the minister. If the Fifth street man doet
, not believe in Christianity ct all he is consis
tent in his conduct; ii, however, he believes
in Christianity enough to want his wife ant
children to learn its tenets and live up to it
requirements, ne is himself a shirk and
9 slusgard, and his children will follow his ex
ample rather than heed his advice. He can
not go to church lying ON his back and read
r ing q Newspaper. Christianity is 3 livinl
fact, having certain specific, ineligible an,
practicable duties. To fulfill these duties
man must be in the Christian church, not il
8 the newspaper church.
: After all, a great deal of the success Q
q Sunday schools rests with the parents q
n children. 1t does not matter how interestin
. the exercises may be made to the child, if tn
. parent is careless the child will soon becom
n so too. When parents start q child to q Sur
o day school an obligation is placed upon som,
q one to be there every Sunday to teach tbs

Christ, agrees to make this sacrifice of tim
and patience in the interest of the child
regularly at his or her post, how importal
- does 1t become that the parents shall do the
duty and see that the child is also there
promptly and as regularly. Parents shoul
