Selections from The Christian NGighbOr
Guard but do not Kill Impulse.

In the body the long disuse of a
limb is fol lowed by the Inability to
use, all life is gone and it hangs on to
the frame a thing without value or
beauty. Judgment and memory areof
the mind, if not properly exercised are
not they weakened 50 as to be OF little
practical value? And is not the same
thing true in even greater degree of
the affections of the heart? If emo
tons of benevolence, friendship, love
are habitually repressed and all activi-
ty denied them will they not in the
course of few years at most become
so dwarfed and "hindered" as to be
wholly ineffective in. making us ap-
proachable by those who might be-
come friends, in making our friends to
love US, and those who are nearest to
know us as we would like to be known.
Will not these emotions eventually die
for lack of breathing room? Between
the puritanism of more than hun
dred years ago and the "gush" of the
untutored girl of to-day there must be
a mean, as indeed there is between
any two points removed III single de-
gree from each other. There is wide
remove between that puritanism and
its opposite, a range affording every
phase of feeling or mode Of expression.
If the warm hand clasp which might
be given is withheld, if the caress for
the little child remains untold upon
the fingers, if the smile which would
brighten somebody's day is hidden
within the lips-what then? The i'm
pulse not gratified dies lingering
death, aud at last is lost the poa0er Of
loving. Life stands stripped of its il
lusions and charms, naked, hard, un-
pleasing, for the impulse to be genial,
CHEEKY, loving, the spontaneous JOY
business of the heart, long denied ex-
preston. are gone forever, and almost
the very reason Of living is taken
away. While guiding aud controlling
impulse do not kill it. B.

From an exchange is clipped the fol-
lowing: ,
AT the close of his fiftie,h year in
the ministry, Rev. S. Black, of the
Western Virginia Conference, asked
for superannuated relation, but was
so overcome by emotion he could not
talk. He sent to the Secretary's desk
the following paper, which WAS read
in the hearing OF the Conference and
the large audience present: "During
these fifty years I travelled at least TO-
OOU miles received $6,lSl.2S, being
Sl37.36 per year. During the same
time received in presents 81, 1921,
and S400.36 in marriage fees, making a
total of S7,764.24, being $l55.2Sh per
year. having family thirty-six years
of that time"
The difference-the great difference
between the salaries of preachers is
something hard to be understood in
the light of fairness-that which is
lust apd equal" Did the colleagues
or presiding elders of Sam Black re-
ceive pay only in proportion to the
salary of this old "circuit rider ?"
How many Of our present-day $1,000
or $1,000 or 81 500 or $4,000 or $500
preachers or church officials would iun

years? Of course circumstances re-
quire a difference, but why so great a
difference?

blasphemies and imprecations more

SECTARIAN SCHOOL SUPPORTED BY
TAXEs.-The government contracts
with the several Churches to allow
them to conduct schools among the In
dians. It is expressly stipulated that
the government shall designate the
course of study, and apply the same
tests to the persons of tecahers as are
applied in all other government
schools. Congregalioualists, Metho-
dists, Protestant Episcopalians,
Friends, Mennonites, Presbyterians,
Lutherans, and Unitarians all consent
to the terms, but the Romanists OBJ
iect. The last-named Church is un-
willing to allow its course of study or
it's tests for teachers to be Influenced
by the government. Therefore, Con-
gress should refuse to allow the Ro-
manists to conduct any of the govern
ment schools. Appropriations for
schools conducted by unsupervised
Romanists are simply gifts to sectari-
all schools. The government gives
about half-million dollars for con-
tract schools, and of this sum Roman
lists receive about seventy per cent;
read that again please. All the rest of
the Churches above named receive on
Iy thirty per cent. of the half-nlillion.

The glory OF Hermann, Mo-, is its grapes,
says the st. Louis Globe-Demo The
town and surrounding country gives thous-
ands of acres to vineyards. Both soil and
climate seem peculiarly we'll adapted for the
successful growth Of the vine, the quantity
and quality of some varieties surprising the
results of their native states. The bulk OF
the entire great crop is absorbed by one wine
company. The company's own vineyards
cover thirty-flve acres, but the product 1s
only fraction of the quantity used. Nearly
every farmer within radius OF twenty miles
has a vineyard more or less extensive, and
iisposes of the yield to the wine company.
The advantage of this over sending the
grapes to market is in having the fruit taken
Immediately on presentation, and receiving
,ash for it as soon as weighed ut the whole
sale market price. The consequence Is that
out very few grapes are now sent from Her.
mann for outside sale.
Last year the wine company used $4,000
pounds Of grapes, and will take more this IL
hey can be got. The ruling kinds raised are
the Catawba, Delaware, Elvira, Gethe,
Herbemont, Martha, Perkins, Riesling. Ru-
ander, Taylor, INLAND, Concord. Ives, Clin-
ton, Virginia Seeding, Oynthiana and Cum
ningham. Those giving white wines are the
