A LAY SERMON.

The other day we heard two boys
discussing man of their acquaintance.
tHe is a Christian" said one ''Yes'
answered the other, He is a Chris
tian -on the side."
None of us are sharp enough to de-
ceive the discerning eye of youth. and
the youngsters caustic criticism spoke
volumes
Perhaps we are not good judges. but
it would appear that the teachings of
Christianity, if true at all, are such
stupendous trutbs-so much more i'm
portant than anything else in life or
than life itself for that matter, that we
cannot understand the mental attitude
of the man who is Christian-on the
side.
The attitude of the man who places
no faith in Bible teachings, who is
satisfied with life and its enjoyments,
who has moral standard of his own
which he lives up to with more OF less
success such an attitude is comprehen-
sible.
But the attitude of the man who be-
lieves in Christianity, who believes
that his eternal happiness or torment
depends upon his actions and his faith;
who believes that God sees his every act
and knows his every thought
sucha man can be anything but a
militant Christian seven days in the
week. is beyond our understanding
The fundamental teachings of Chris
tianity-the Immortality of the soul.
the redemption through Christ, Christ's
sacrifice and .atonement for the sins of
the world; the doctrine of eternal pun
ishment, all these are Of such over
whelwing Importance as to sink profit
ana loss, sickness or health, politics, or
statecraft, position, preferment or mere
enjoyment of earthly pleasures. into
utter and complete i.lsigni6cance. We
have most tolerance for every kind
of Christian except the Christian
on the side.
Let the man believe what he will
cuc oueKerS or
quake with the Quakers let him kneel
in the cutters with the Salvation army
let him beat the brass drum in the
i Holiness Band, let him believe with the
Scientists that pain is error, let him be
Catholic, Methodist, Baptist or Latter
Day Saint, but let him work at his re-
ligion seven days in the week. Did you
ever stop to think what a world this
would be if every protesting Christian
was working Christian who carried
the articles of his creed into every
transaction in life? Strikes and race
problems and trusts and freight rates
and divorce and social evil. all of these
problems would be solved quickly and
well if the country was only rid of that
pest, the man who is Christian-on
the side.

The Fairmont Creamery has made
Red Oak a proposition. 1t wants that
city to lend it $4,000 at per cent for
five years; the money to be used to

the Fairmont Creamery is a good thing
for the farmers and offers employment
to quite number in town. Denison

ry without bonus of any kind.

Announcing a Meal.

Among the curious byways Of social
history and household custom, says the
London Globe, is that which is concern
ed with the mode of announcing that
dinner or any other meal is or shortly
will be ready. The dinner bell is, of
course, the oldest of these modes. In
medieval times the monastery or CON
vent bell rang out on the quiet country
air many times in the course of the
day and night, and one of the many
summonses was that which drew them
to the refectory. And in later ages
there are frequent illusions in ltera-
ture which show that the bell method
was still in constant favor notwith-
standing the customary use of other
modes of summons.

ARRANGEMENT OF TAX DODGERS

The poor man, as the Macon
News asserts, is not a tax dodger.
He has to pay taxes to the limit re-
quired by law. His modest hold
ings never escape their full burden
of taxation.
The richer the man the smaller
his taxes, comparatively speaking.
The millionaire is usually most
successful and persistent tax dodg-
er. 1t is charged that many of the
wealthy in New York commit per
jury in order to escape their full
share of taxation, and they resort
to other questionable means to
avoid contributing their just part
for the support of the government
which protects their property and
shields their lives.
Governor Higgins of New York
condemns the tax dodgers in no
uncertain language. He is quite
severe in his protest against their
methods.
"Some of the people," he says,
$50 to Rhode Island, some to the
Berkshire Hills, and others to New
Jersey to evade taxation. Some
others come into this state from
other states for the same purpose.
There are others who have mort
cages made out to their cousins,
their uncles and their aunts in
other states, and then have assign
ments made to them which they do
notrecord. Others, yet more bold,
walk brazenly up to the assessors
office and commit perjury to evade
taxation.
"There seems to be a percentage
of people in every state who are
able in some way to satisfy theil
consciences sufficiently to justify
them to themselves in beating the
state or the government"
