l have been amazed at the result Of
my utterances on the sacredness of the
home and of womanhood. Several sig
nificant facts have come to light. The
press of the North occupies itself
almost wholly with the denunciation Of
lynching and has comparatively little
to say about the crime which preceded
it, and avoids the point |, made in
which l had reference to one crime.
The press Of the South, as sent to
me, says it has looked in vain for the
least expression of sympathy from the
North for the awful invasion Of homes.
The whole nation bears a response
bility and there should be no North"
and no South in this. 1t is lesson
for every individual. The home and
purity must be protected Loose ideas
on marriage and divorce need reforma-
ton. Men in our cities who have no
respect for Womanhood must be pun
ished to the limit Of the law. Society
which makes more of clubs than Of
the home should be rebuked.

sions for employees of railways, ana
of other large establishments, in this
country. The same idea is carried out
| in other countries by the government,
and has taken shape almost simultan-
eously in places far apart. In New
Zealand citizens who have been self
supporting and self respecting, and
whose income from private sources ia Is
below a fixed minimum, are given a
pension graded according to their
needs, when they have reached the
age of sixty-fve years. In Denmark
a somewhat similar plan prevails. A
pension is given at the age of sixty,
varying from 1926 to $4.5a per month,
according to the locality in which the
person lives. This law has been in
operation in Denmark for dozen
years. A pension system exists also
in Germany, and in France, Austria
and England plans and laws looking
in the same direction are being seri-
Ously discussed.

A Boy that / knew.

A boy that knew when the skies were
all blue
And fields of the morning were sparkling
with dew,
With smile on his face and a smile in
his heart,
He walked from the phantom Of trouble
apart;
And his laughter was sweet as the Tilt Of
song,
For he knew not the care of the world
or it's wrong;
The past and the future might bury their
The day was enough for that boy that 1
knew.
A youth that I knew as he stood where
the way
Leads down to the mists and the toll apd
the fray
Bore a smile on his face and kept faith
in his soul.
And Hope, with her promise, "For you
is the goal!''
Though others were crushed and though
others might wear
On their foreheads the emblems of doubt
and despair,
He would win in the strife, standing
stalwart and true,
For achieve" was the word of that
youth that | knew.
A man that l know, worn, weary and
DID,,
Looks backward on years that his failure
have told
Looks backward to hope, with a promise
no more,
To the faith, like a wrath from the
country of yore;
To the visions that faded the faltering
feet,
The wall of the bugle that called to re-
treat.
And it's o for the morning, the sheen
of it's dew!
And o to go back to the boy that l
knew!

WHAT Ais THE CHURCH?

BY ReY. Harry WhitConib.
There must be something the matter,
for everybody says so. Its friends say
so, and the world says so. Our Church
papers, editoria,ly and otherwise, take
notice Of the question, and in variety
of ways acknowledge there is some
thing wrong, even in some instances by
laboriously trying to prove there is
nothing wrong. Secular papers devote
much space to the subject, and COM
pare the Church Of to-day unfavorably
with that Of the past. The local
Church is aware something is wrong.
and discusses the matter officially. The
preacher breaches about it, but usually
must be content by showing it might
be worse. And worst of all, the world
that is, multitude Of the unsaved
without the Church-believes there is
something wrong The world has lost
confidence in the Church, and that is
to be the more regretted because the
world is the field of the Church.
1t could safely be said that the world
once believed in the Church. They be-
lieved that it had the words of life,
knew the way of salvation, and was so
familiar with the whole matter that
there was absolutely no doubt what
ever but that penitent sinner making
application to the Church could be
brought to Christ Immediately and eX-
perience conscious pardon Of sin.
The world doesn't believe that now,
Does the Church? 1t is no time to
discuss methods. Nobody cares about
methods. Let us get at the facts.
What are we trying to do?' What
ought we to do? Must a man be born
again? Is sin the awful thing the
Bible paints it? Has Jesus Christ
power on earth to forgive sin? Is there
any other name under heaven given
among men wherein we must be
saved? Questions like these, and many
others that will readily suggest them
selves, can be settled; that is, we can
decide and say whether the Church be-
lieves them, or not. Much Of the mist
would be removed If only this much
was clearly set forth and proclaimed.
How would it do to have a multitude
of little conferences, each at some cas-
lily accessible point, that would include
say three or five churches in the vicin-
ity? Let the pastors and as many lay
men as could attend and discuss pray
erfully what are the vital things Of
Church life. Then, within a week CT
50, let two or three of these small con-
ferences meet in larger one, until at
last a district conference should end
the series. Discussions Of methods and
all criticism or complaints should be
ruled out Only the essential things
Of the gospel-sin, salvation, the Holy
Spirit, spiritual life, etc.-should re-
ceive attention. Much good would GER
tainly grow out of such a series. If
we can agree on these basic principles
and we can-the rest will be easy.
The preaching will take care OF itself,
the methods will take care Of them
selves, souls will be saved, the Church
respected, and Gods name honored
and glorifed.

Five life positions in the government
service,- to which salary beginning
at twenty hundred dollars a year
is attached, have been going begging.
They are in the corps OF civil en-
gineers in the navy department. After
five years service the pay is increased,
and at the end of ten years it is thirty
five hundred dollars. There must be
either a dearth Of civil engineers, OF
the demand for them in ordinary bust
ness must be SO great that the pay of.
fered by the government does not tempt
them. OF one thing there can be no
doubt: this profession offers greater
attractions to young men than it did

For preserving the peace in a partly
civilized country a railway, according
to a famous statesman, is worth more
than an army corps. Although the
railways which are building from
Haifa to Damascus in Palestine, and
from Damascus southwark toward
Mecca, are primarily for military pur-
poses, they will open up a country
which was prosperous and fertile two
thousand years ago, but has since be-
come one Of the waste places of the
earth. They are already using Ameri-
can harvesting machines on the plain
of Jezreel. When the proposed rail
ways are finished there will be de-
mand for the accompanying modern
agricultural machines. Galilee and
the country beyond Jordan will again
blossom as the rose.

The novels that lave been most
popular in the last year IN England
represent a rather marked departure
from the general taste that had pre-
vailed for several years. apparently
our English cousins have not only
escneWed in great measure the histOri-
cal romance that has SO long maintain
ed its sway there, as in this country,
but their preference Of the last year
denotes that the literature Of gloom
is again in the ascendant. 1t may
be said for the historical romance that,
While it was frequently meretriciOuS
in the kind Of entertainment it served
up it was at least unimpeachable as
to it's moral effect On the other hand,
the non-histOrical novels that have met
with cordial reception this year in
England are, broadly speaking, Of
is the note Of depression rather than
that Of optimism. 1t would be a one
sided attitude, a narrow theory Of art,
to hold that fiction should only treat
Of human happiness. Misery, the irony
Of circumstance, the million defects
of civilization and their tragic in
1uence on the individual soul, are all
too we'll known, too obviously facts
to permit of their being ignored in the
novel Of realities. The writer of stories
must perforce accept the material Of
life 1t is the smallness of heart, the
lack of the higher charities Of truth
portraying in the fiction Of the pres
ent that impairs it's worth. One re-
ceives hardly more than cold-phcto-
graphic record Of life, a comfortless
reiteration of the wisdom with which
the soul of man is already overstored.
What is the pleasure one takes in the
clever execution of such pictures Of
human experience compared with the
satisfaction that one feels in the novel
wherein is encountered on every page
the presence of one who desires to
lift the load of humanity as well as
ably describe it? 1t is the quality Of
sympathy that, after all, counts the
most in novel writing, and without it
the story treating of the bitterness Of
mundane things is seldom truly worth
the reading.

People may find it hard to believe,
| when surrounded with every luxury,
that the money in the bank may some
day suddenly melt away like a snow
drift in the spring sun. But it hap
pens so sometimes. And poverty is
most unl1ind to those who have once
known opulence. Ten years ago, Jas.
B. Leddon was one of the wealthy men
of Boston. He was a broker, rated at
at least half million. But the panic
Of '93 cleaned him out and left him
penniless and broken in spirit. His
abilities seem to have been atrophied,
for he never got up in finance again.
The other day he was arrested in New
York for permitting his children to
peddle on the streets. For two years
he had been living in a small, miser-
able room, supported wholly by his
two daughters, aged eleven and thir-
teen, who sold perfunery. A thirteen
year-old boy is in the juvenile asylum.
| Now, broken hearted and disgraced,
| the once rich man lies in prison, sep
arated from his children and charged
with violating a city ordinance. 1t is
pathetic but significant rebuke to
| the insolence of wealth. People are
apt to entertain the idea that if they
can only get rich they are fixed for
this world, if not for the next. Usual
ly, man who loves money well
enough to accumulate large fortune
loves it we'll enough to cling to it. But
not always, as this case, and many an
other testify. Money is a nice thing
to have, but it is not a safe thing to
fasten ones life ambition upon or to
pin all Of ones hopes to.
