MORAL TRAINING
RESTS On CHURCH
Subject of Sermon by the
Rev. Dr.. D. L. Blakem0re.
HAS NO PLACE IN SCHOOL
Sanctuary and the Family Charged
With High Responsibility of
Religious Instruction.
HAS NO PLACE IN SCHOOL

Responsibility for religious and moral
training and its Judgement upon the
family and the church, was the subject
OF an interesting sermon by the Rev. d.
L. Blakemore, at Epworth NJ. E. church,
yesterday. In part Mr.. Biakemore SAID:
THE chief recognized educational
agencies are the family. the church, ana
the state. There is difficulty in assign
ing to each d particular division or the
task Of education Their work overlaps
at many points and the subject they
train is a unit, although possessing the
multiple capacity of religious, moral, ana
intellectual development.
Every scholar presents this triune
nature in unity before whatever teacher
he presents himself for instruction So
far as simple mental training is con-
cerned, the church and state stand on
an equal competitive footing before the
world, the only question necessary to
decide choice between them being that
of facility and equipment to impart
knowledge, But there are many reasons
why the family and the church. especial
" in this country and under its present
system OF constitutional government
should bear the responsibility and do the
work OF training the young in morals
and religion.
On Church and Family.
..The family and the church ara

lation. There is no uniform system OF
Interpretation of the body or Biblical
truth even among Christians, ana Ger
tainly the various denominations could
never surrender their right of interpre-
tation to the state school as central
authority.
Besides there are many patrons Of the
public school who do not accept the
Christian Scriptures in their entirety as
a divine revelation Some even deny
that they are a divine revelation at ali.
II would be an objectionable violation
of the American spirit and the Ameri-
can principle. of absolute liberty of con

PIGEON CAUSES HER DEATH
Pet Missing Several Months Is Found
Blocking Up the Stovepipe
in Owners Room.

In the Wiltshire village of Zeals,
England a death has been caused by
a pet pigeon. Two young women liv-
ing at the rectory were found uncon-
scious in their bedroom on Monday
morning. One of the girls, Miss Maud
of Southampton, was dead before the
doctor arrived, but the other revived
after some time. 1t appears that a
fire had been lighted overnight in a
small stove which was connected with
the main chimney by a f1ue The girls
retired to rest noticing nothing EXCEPT
that the fire smoked considerably.
When the stove was removed for in.
vestigation the body of a pet pigeon
WHICH has been missing for some
months, was found blocking the pipe.
The poisonous tunes had thus been
driven back into the bedroom. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict of
death from : misadventure.

No More Stomach Troubles.

ALI stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by
digesting what you eat without the
StOmach'S aid. The food builds up
the body, the rest restores the
stomach to health. You don't have
to diet yourself when taking Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. j. D. Erskine, of
Allenville, Mich, says, IL suffered
heartburn and stomach trouble for
some time. My sister-in-law has had
the same trouble and was not able to
eat for six weeks. She lived entirely
on warm water. After taking two
bottles of KOdol Dyspepsia cure she
was entirely cured She now eats

A RIuaferfnE King.

OF King George ". Thomas Cree
vey, who lived in the early part Of the
nineteenth century, tells this story:
The king had appointed the bishop
Of Winchester to administer to him the
sacrament on one Of the Sundays about
Easter. The bishop was not punctual
to his time, and when he arrived the
king, in a great passion at having been
kept waiting, abused and even swore
at him in the most Indecent manner, on
which the bishop very coolly said he
must be permitted to withdraw, as he
perceived his majesty was not then in
a. fit state Of mind to receive the sacra-
p1ent, and should be ready to attend on
some future day, when he hoped to find
his majesty in better state Of prepa-
ration.
