IT is HARD ON GRANDPA.

Certain evidence given in Jefferson
case al Des Moines is interesting be-
cause it calls attention to the witness as
"a type of class that is becoming too
common. young mother was suing
TO recover possession of her baby that
had been given to a children's home
during her sickness and incapacity to
care for it. She is only 81 and the
child has been left in care of its father
and grandfather The old grandfather
testified that he took entire care of the
made clothes for 1t after the mother
had gone away. It's 10 year old father
did nothing for 1t. The mother after
her recovery from her sickness went
away and left the baby to be burden
on the old man. When the father OF
the child was questioned in court as to
the reasons for neglecting his child he
offered the excuse that he never got
satisfaction" taking care OF it. Final
ly the grandfather found place for it
at children's home.
There are too many of this kind of
cattle who are ready to add to the bur
dens of society but take no "'satisfac-
tom in the responsibilities they have
assumed 1t is the province of the fool
to rush into responsibility and evade
it afterward and there are hundreds of
old men and women caring, for babies
brought into the world and deserted
by the parents who get no "satisfac-
ton out of fatherhood and mater
nifty. 1t is a reversal of the scriptural
statement. The children play the fool
and their sins are visited upon the
fathers backward to the third genera
ton.
Marriage is too easy in this country.
Most young men and women give less
attention and show less caution ana
common sense in this greatest of all
human transactions than they would
in buying a horse or new hat. Par
entail interference is resented and par
entail suggestion unheeded. In this
country people marry whom they
please and when they please. The silly
passion of the young too often makes a
marriage and the marriage results In
children. The jefferson case is a type.
A remedy is hard to suggest but pres
ent conditions are certainly hard on
The exercise of good common sense
and authority by parents might not
cure. but would certainly alleviate this
state of affairs. Little boys and girls
are allowed to play the grown ups"
too soon. They drive and walk and ape
the manner and actions OF their elders
when they should be at their books and
are entertaining company" when they
should be tucked away In bed by theii
mothers. 1t is hot house process that

i xlKDeRFul ORGANIZATION.

When the Salvation Army convened
Tor ifs third international congress it
commanded the allegiance of more than
$500 branch societies and was the CEN
ter of system that Families over the
entire surface of the earth. The SAL
walton army is an astonishing organs
ization and not the least astonishing OF
Its features Is the fact that at the zen
ternational congress was in part pre-
sided over by the man who founded
the movement.
It has been but thirty years since
William Booth began the organization
of the salvation army. 1t was move
ment universally laughed at and al
most universally condemned or des-
pissed. Its gatherings upon street COR
ners were sneered at and the bass drum
and tambourine, and catchy music to
which they sang religious songs were
regarded as next door to blasphemy.
Tia congress of 1904 met in a mon
strous iron building specially erected
for the purpose and numbered 5000
delegates. The nobility of England
packed the boxes and when General
Booth appeared on the platform a rep
resentative audience of $4,000 rose en-
mass and cheered him until the iron
arches rang. II was vindication and
proof that the public had long ago
reversed its earlier verdict.
General Booth, the veteran comman-
der-in- chief Of the Salvation Army, is

monwealth U4ondon), "altho he de-
served the kings invitation to Buck
ingham palace to assure the world that
he is today one of the foremost OF Brit

Friday at the Albert Hall was grand
spectacle, and the enthusiasm tremen-
dous. General Booth spoke we'll, as a
man should whose record in public ora

THE British Weekly tLondon) COM

iyention, refers to his work as follows:
His physique IS as wonderful as was
John Wesley's. He is making over If
ty speeches during the congress, but
speeches are the least part of his ex-
ertions. He presides over nearly all
the important meetings. guides the
singing, appeals for collections. intro
duces foreign delegates. and listens
, with watchful intentness to every word
spoken. London has never witnessed
more astonishing religious spectacle
than this congress. Races from every
corner of the globe are represented, and
all are united in reverence and loyalty
for the commander-in- chief. Crowds
have gathered daily to watch the for
eigners in their picturesque costumes
entering or leaving the hall. There has

Decay Of Christian Ben eficense.


The immense increase in beneficences
to educational and eleemosnary institu-
tons and the corresponding appeals
for funds from the Bible society and
t.many missionary societies naturally
rgAse the cry that the spirit of Christian
beneficence is decaying The Baptist
Standard. discussing the question
seems forced TO an unwilling conclusion
that there may be some truth in the as
sertion:
1t is with no desire to minimize the
importance of the contributions made
to education of beuevoience, or to
withhold aught of the honor which be-
longs to the generous givers who have
enriched educationa and philanthropic
institutions, that we venture upon an
inquiry into the present status of
Christian beneficence. Before assuming
that enlarged benefactions are evidence
of increase in the spirit of beneficence,
we must be satisfied that there is an
increase in the amount given when
measured by the ability of the givers.
Does the increase of the volume of
beneflcence correspond with the in
crease in the source of supply? No one
will deny that there has been a marvel
Gus growth in our wealth as nation
during the last quarter of a century.
millionaires once so rare as to cur
osities, are now numbered by thou
sands. Has the growth in giving kept
pace with the growth in wealth? When
Il man whose possessions do not ag-
gregate more than $1,000 gives $1,000
to an educational institution, it means
more In sacrifice than the gift of ST.
900 from man who has $499. 000,-
600 remaining. While we are not ready
to assert that in proportion to our
means we are giving less to the work
of the kingdom that did the men and
women of fifty years ago. there is
enough uncertainty at this point to
compel thoughtfulness and self-exam-
ination.
Tho Passing Of Jewish Orthodoxy.
The breaking away OF the Jewish
people from orthodoxy to mere intel

ing questions in the Hebrew world.
Noting the tendency to Congrega-
tionalist and Christian World recently
remarked: Having broken with their
theism left, 1t becomes a serious matter
what these intellectual but spiritually
adrift Jews are to be and to do. VIII
they accept Jesus as an ethical guide
and example even tho they reject the
orthodox Christian view of his derIVa-
ton, mission. and relation to human
ity? In the current Bibliotheca Sacra
Professor Hugh Macdonald Scott ar
CUES that "a new judaism which shall
include Christianity is the gospel OF the
most advanced Hebrews"
Claude Montefiore, in the HILBERT
lectures, advocates it. He declares
that some OF the saying of Jesus have
sunk so deep into human heart that It
is not probable that any religion
which ignores or omits them, will ex-
ercise a considerable influence outside
its own borders" That is striking
confession. It says that Israel is to
give to the world universal religion;
but to do so it must adopt the teach
ings of Jesus. Wernstock, in his book,
