that money. when this idea presented itself
to us. We We're sure that there Were many
people who did not go to church to whom
the gospel message would appeal. The times
are such now that persons who would so

they would be read b. the most people

Mark Twain on Hunting Turkey.


When a mamma turkey answers an in.
vitation and finds she has made a mistake
in accepting it, she does as the mamma
partridge does-remembers a previous en-
gagement and goes limping and scrambling
away, pretending to be very lame; and at
the same time she Is saying to her not
visible children, Lie low, keep STILL don't
expose yourselves; l shall be back as soon
as l have beguiied this shabby swindler

Gospel Aovertising.,
Unique Scheme of Zed H. Copp Chief District Probation
Ofhcer-PIacards in Street Cars.

Believing that the simple message OF the
gospel, as set forth In the Bible, without
establishment has power to reach and en-
liven the hearts of men and women, Zed H
Copp. chief probation officer of the local
Juvenile Court. has inaugurated unique
system OF bringing this message of Chris
tianity to the public. The plan has Just
been put into effect in the District, and it is
hoped that from the small beginning 1t will
spread to large proportions.
The plan is to display in the street cars
OF the city placards of the usual size of
advertising placards upon which is printed
q verse. phrase or expression taken from
the BfpIe. The first placard of this kind
which has been noticed generally by the
travelling public was as follows:

In their search for a suitable building in
which to open the Presbyterian Home the
committee of the bord of trustees having
this matter in charge looked at more than
fifty dwellings. but not until it became
evident that the property at 1870 NJ street
could be secured for the desired purpose
were the searchers fully satisfied. The
house purchased is very advantageously
located. and it contains twenty-one ans,
which will afford sufficient accomH Sation
for all present purposes and probably for
years to come. AS it has been apportioned
and furnished, sixteen rooms in the house
will be bed rooms, one will be an infirmary
and the other four, parlor, sitting room,
dining room and kitchen, respectively. If
additional space is needed at any time in
the future, the lot on which the home is
located contains enough vacant space for
the construction of addition either at
the side or in the rear of the present struc-
ture.

Citations were simple statements Of
eternal principles.
The Christian religion is not a belief;
it is knowledge A man may believe In
tellectually In the existence of Coda
spiritual realm--a moral order upon evil
dence which he considers sound; but the
Christian religion is more, since 1t is an
experience Where, then, We may ask, is
the kingdom of heaven, and how may we
POSSESS it? To answer these questions
let us go to the source when He was
demanded of the Pharisees when the king
dom of God should come He answered
them and said: The kingdom Of God
cometh not with observation. Neither
shall they say 10! here, or 10! there; for
behold the kingdom of God is within
you" John, xvii:20-2D. Again the
Master declares: so is the kingdom Of
God as if man should cast seed into the
ground; and should sleep and rise night
and Gay. and the seed should spring and
grow up, lie knoweth not how. For the
earth bringeth forth fruit of herself
First, the blade, then the ear; after that
the full corn in the ear Mark, iv:26, 81,
$50 Again He illustrates by a little child.
MARK, x:15) The child is not only guile
less, but it is the personifcation of faith
and trust; it relies implicitly on it's
parents or it's elders for guidance, care
and protection. So if man develops the
kingdom of God he relies implicitly on
his Heavenly Father. and can say with
Whittier:
IT know rot where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know cannot drift
Beyond His love and care
1t is not every man that can say that
and utter truth. Whittier could say 1t,
and every Christian ought to be able to
say it, for the kingdom of heaven is a
conscious realization of Gods presence;
that He is our Father; that we are SO in
volved in His love that nothing can sep
arate us from Him but sin, and even that
not change His attitude toward u.s.
Subjectively, it does change 'he relation
ship, since it changes our att Jude toward
Him, for sin is alienation from the king
dom of heaven.
But the Holy of Holes is accessible
The door is ever ajar, and We may enter
and establish again the relationship and
receive the love of God into our souls;
and no matter how low man may fall
how wretched or degraded he may become
the Father waits with longing eyes his
coming way; His love goes out after him
as illustrated in the parable of the lost
sheep. for we are always in the grasp Of
His love. 1t is the consuming fire that
burns into our very soul, and makes us
peace with Him. This is illustrated in
the parable of the prodigal son. The king
dom of heaven, then, is the reign of
righteousness and love in the Individual
in the community. When may we expect
pure and undefled religion to be spread
abroad over the earth? When shall the
differences between labor and capital be
adjusted? When shall wars cease among
men and the reign Of peace begin? When
shall that sublime prayer be answered.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven? Not until the
Aingdom of God shall be developed in
every heart
