AN EVOLUTION IN TRANSIT.

| While people generally agree with
the prediction that electric lines are
to become great factors in passenger
| transportation, few realize the phe.-
nomenal growth of ftlas means OF
transit or it's possibilities of thru serv-
ice over long distances. 1t is stated
authoritatively that $4,000 electric cars
are now in operation in this country
over $4,000 miles of electric railway.
Between Portland, Me-, and New York
City, the building of nineteen miles OF
electric road will complete a con-
tinuous connection by trolley. Be
tween Chicago and Milwaukee condl-
tons are very similar and the two will
soon be connected by electric railway.
1t it promised that within a year thru
electric trains will be running between
Chicago and Buffalo and connection
between Buffalo and New York is
practically arranged for 1t will not be
long until train load of passengers
for extreme eastern points will be en-
abled to entrain at Milwaukee or Chi
cage for eastern ports and cities for
continuous passage at high speed un-
annoyed by smoke Or cinders or noise.
1t is the ideal of transit facilities.
The electric railway is revolutionary.
1t means new era in transportation,

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW
Why So Many Christians Are Outside
The Church.

The Church.
Those who have read in this column
some of the writer's opinions on fellg-
ion and religious matters, naturally see
in the above headline another effort
to criticise. They expect it from the
source. But curiously enough 1t is the
headline of an article in The Chris
tan Work and Evangelist, and is writ
ten by Rev. L. +. Blanchard, OF TAN
! man. N. Y. The article is too long for
entire reproduction here so para
graphs will be selected, having the en-
tire approval of the writer. Begging
the readers pardon for personal refer
ence. let it be added this article comes
to the writer from one of the most ear
nest, successful and sensible ministers
in Iowa. so that the writer for once is
in good company.
Mr.. Blanchard starts out as follows:
zone of the serious problems. con-
fronting the church is the attitude OF
many Christians toward the church.
1T is doubtful President j. Tucker,
D. D.. of Dartmouth, says, If the
church of any generation has allowed
so large a section of the Cnristianized
communities to fall out OF its grasp
and away from it's influence as the
church of this generation has ollowed.'
And a pastor of one of the largest New
England churches says, that he is NOT
able, after sixteen years Of labor in the
place to induce some Of his best
Christians and most helpful workers
to unite with the church.

bership necessary: they live their
Christian lives outside the church.
Some manifest no interest Whatever in
the church and are seldom seen at the
services. Others manifest an inter-
est they are liberal supporters and
are frequent attendants at the SER
vices.
Surely this is not as it should be.
There is trouble somewhere. The
trouble lies primarily in the fact that
enough. Christian fellowship means
but little-not enough to pay for the
trouble of uniting with the church.
And, then, by not uniting with the
church, one escapes the responsibility
and the trials that come to church peo-
pie"
The writer once gave these reasons
to explain why outsiders omit church
membership, stating it that the church
does not offer what the workingman
wants and needs.
THUS IN the early Christian church
a practical and business-like spirit
prevailed. and the church filed large
practical mission to the household of
faith. These practical benefits were
for church people and not for outsid
ers. Today all is changed. The prac-
teal fruits of Christian fellowship
were never so small as they are to-
dav. The church has not kept pace
with the progress of the world. Why,
then. should one feel 1t necessary to
unite with the church? The lodge, as
a. fraternal institution, surpasses the
church; insurance in benefit order ~
better than church charity; and ont.
can eniov all the essential advantages
of the church without becoming a
member, equally with actual members.

would indicate a sickly state OF AFFAIRS
If foreigners became naturaiZed from
the sense of duty and for the honor or

The writer is inclined to the belief
that the failure OF the modern church
TO extend pee MARY benefit to it's
members, upon the plans of the secret
societies. and the fraternal insurance
companies, has less deterrent weight
with the world than the fact that men
with public business record, similar
to the Rockefellers, are received and
continued in full church fellowship to-
day. The logic is, that IL such men
are Christians in the full sense OF the
word. then the secret society, where
the black bali prevents membership of
such men. is preferable.
New church methods are needed.
In fact. the church needs n thorough
reorganization on advanced ethical
practical, fraternal and business-lke
principles to present day conditions.
Such reorganized church would fill
the practical mission today that the
early church filled ages ago: 1T would
be dominated by a practical and bust
ness-like spirit, not sentiment; and 1t
would reflect in this age the Masters
spirit. Such church would appeal to
the masses as present-day churches do
not. and 1t would be a church Of gem
uine prosperity and spiritual power.
The attitude of Christians toward the
church would not be that of indiffer-
ence, but Of love and loyalty.
There can be no doubt that such a
reorganized church would be one of
great efficiency and spiritual power
For the efficiency and spiritual power
have declined as has the practical and
business-like spirit. and as sentiment
has grown. And today the most eff
cient and genuinely prosperous relig-
ious efforts are those In which the
practical and business-like spirit is
large. Thus such a reorganized church
would be a return in spirit to primitive
Christianity"
Another suggestion by the writer
would be, in this return to primitive
Christianity, that the numerous creeds
and the endorsement required Of many
things, the majority of church mem
bers today, do not believe in, be omit

bers to indulge in mental reserva-

enjoyed CO while attending the Ida

uany with his inamorita George was
enjoying a ride in a Ferris wheel when
the gasolene engine which furnished
the motive power went on a strike,
leaving George and his best girl sus-
pended in nidair at the very topmost
of the wheel. For two mortal hours
the engine refused to bulge, and for
two mortal hours George and his part

midnight air toying with their locks

their spinal columns. Now George
says he's foresworn Ferris wheels ana
