Christendom is a new weekly pub
lished in Chicago. It is the prac-
teal embodiment of what has long
been felt by the prominent leaders
in the political, social and educa-
tional progress, viz: that there is
imperative need Of a journal which
should discuss, week by week, in
the spirit Of enlightened Christian
ity, not only the worlds most i'm
portant news developments along
all lines, but also the pressing
problems of politics, religion, edu-
cation and sociology, which are en-
crossing the minds Of the intelli-
gent, broad-lninded men and women
of to-day.

April is proverbial for it's tickle
ness. 1t usually illustrates the old
saw: things of an uncertain nature
you can 'tmost always tell. " April has
been that way this year in exasper-
ating intensity. Its pleasant days
were few; it's real warm days none,
while the cold, windy or stormy
days filled up most of it's duration.
Yet, 1t is probable, that it's inc1em-
ency may have it's compensation.
The ground is saturated with moist
ure and when il gets warm vegeta-
ton will grow the faster. The us
ua1 experience here in spring is
that the ground is too dry for the
terminating of vegetation until the
June rains come on. And the late
ness of the appearance of vegeta-
ton will preclude the liability of its
being frostbitten after it does start.
The weather isn't dished out to suit
our tickle dispositions and erratic
tastes. If it rains we can go in the
house. If it is cold we can sit by
the fre-ifwe can find wood enough
to make one.
