A Mans Church.

1t does not take 4 careful OBJ
server to note that the Presby-
terian church of this city is at
tracing men in remarkable
manner, says Garden City Her
aid. Whether this is due most
to the preaching of the pastor,
Rev. Allen S. Davis, or to the
choir, or to the hospitality of the
people, or the general officiating
of the Mems Club, we cannot
say; probably it is due to all of
these. But it is certainly a fact
that men attend church there in
unusual numbers.
AS we sat with eighty-fve 9TH
er men at that splendid banquet
last Tuesday night and enjoyed
the strong after-dinner speeches
we could not help expressing our
admiration for the church enter
prise which made such a gather
ing possible, and when we were
told that in the large congrega-
ton last Sunday night there were
more males than females present,
and learned that class of TWEEN
ty-hve or more men regularly at
tend the Sunday school besides
four large classes of boys, and
considered the generous sprink-
ling of young men always present
in the morning and evening SER
vices, we said this is indeed a
mems church. :
And why shouldn't men go to
church? They need the moral
stiffening of church attendance
more than women. They need
the mental calm and the soothing
influences of the hour of worship.
After six days of contest with
worldliness they need the spirit

of public prayer and of devotion

The following from an ex-
change contains a grand sermon
on the subject of religion:
Wanted, a religion that can
swim,5 skate, play ball, play ten
mis-, row a boat, sing, laugh, en-
Joy life in every bright and
wholesome way. We have made
religion oppressive, Oppressive
and really inexpensive of any
feeling except painful seriousness.
Our religion lacks rich blood,
tense, vigorous muscle, a strong
regular pulse. Why not 1.-the
young people of our churches and
Sunday schools that religion
brightens the eye, lightens the
heart and brings. to life its rich
est enjoyment? What we need
is not a religion for the cemetery
but for the Office, the store, the
shop, the school, the farm and the
home. Tombstone piety is i'm

Race Suicide in the Middle Class

The sociologists lay the charge
of race suicide at the doors of the
multi-millionaires, writes Anna
Steese Richardson, in an article
on The Influence of the Business
Woman on Home Life, in the
November Woman's Home Com
panion. "Why do they not in
vestigate the family conditions in
the great middle class, from
which are drawn our most sue
cessful women? Here they. will
find the great source of danger
to the PRONUNCIATION of the human
race.
To-day it is the young, women
and the mature women-of the
middle class who are turning
their backs on the home wherein
lies Americas hope of future
greatness. And for what? To
exchange the birthright of wom-
anhood, wifehood and mother
hood for the mess of pottage
known as business career.
Therein lies the nations great
