A GREAT CAUSE OF SOCIAL
UNREST.

Bishop Henry G. Potter, Of New
York, rightly interprets the meaning
OF the social unrest of the present age.
He holds, and rightly, that the church
should follow the example set by
Christ, who ministered to the needs Of
the masses with His own hands.
"What is the relation of the church of
God to the social unrest of the coun-
try?" was the subject of an address
delivered by Bishop Potter at Chauta-
qua, N. Y, on Aug. 2. Among other
things he said:
"There is no more righteous ar
raignment of the church of our time
than its Indifference to the social con-
ditiOns of the classes made up of less
favored men and women. The church
has been severely and justly criticised
for its lack of interest in the mental,
moral and physical upbuilding of the
masses.
"The task of the church is to inter-
pref the mind of Christ, first by sym
pathy, then by cultivating sympathetic
curiosity. Such curiosity when arOus-
ed would lead men in the church to
know something of the strata of life
below that in which they are wont to
move. Sooner or later it would lead
to the only hope for quieting the
social unrest of our time, and that is
personal service.
"What is the relation of the church
Of God to the people of today? First
of all, it should be profoundly sym
pathetic relation. The church has
been inundated from making it's re-
lations TO the world that of human
sympathy for fear of dropping into
what has been called the institution
al church.
"But if an institutional church be d
means of bringing the church into
profound sympathy with human life,
then the founder of our religion insti-
tuted the institutional church.
"When Christ found the hungry, He
fed them; when He saw the diseased,
He healed them; when he found the
blind, He made them to see. Note how
invariably He did this HIMSELF how
often He illustrated the principles of
the New Testament by means of hui
man hand.
The church should take active steps
to cure the physical and mental, as
we'll as the religious ills of the peO-
pie. It's neglect of this vital work
cannot be remedied too soon. 1t has
been careless of its most important
functions.
81 say with no disrespect to those
who are of other religious beliefs that
we must create everywhere the Chris
tian idea. Human society is to be
what you and I agree to make it.
GAS a further and great cause of
social unrest there comes monstrous
profusion and extravaganza of expen-
diture. DESTINATIONS wealth cannot be
condemned too sCathingly.
"A friend of mine, a lawyer of New
York, went into the mayors office
when the Tweed ring was in power.
4 large diamond stud dropped on the
floor and rolled toward him. He
picked it up, turned to the men in the

The lot was sold TO the State FOR de-
linqUent taxes on July 6. 1900. Before
the end OF the same month the title
was transferred TO Monroe who after-

state law IN force at that time REQUIRED
that the deed should state the date OF
sale and the date when the time for re-
demption by the original owner would

boy BRINGS 4 BOX To
SCHOOL FOR HIS SEAT
Raymond Puccinelli Helps
Out Furniture Problem
in Second Grade
LONE CHAIR IN ROOM
Children Seated on Saw
. horses and Other Crude
Contrivances

RAYMOND Puccinelli Is somewhat Of a
hero in the B second grade Of the
Franklin School. Eighth street. near
Harrison. He sits in g seat constructed
by himself and writes at desk like
wise his own. The seat is a. condensed
milk box. the desk cracker box. Ne
cessity is what prompted young Puc-
cinelli to bring his own furniture. rude
and splfntery as it is. Had not Ray
.raond provided the pine boxes he would
have been sitting on the floor, or on
the open crates, the sawhorse and other
cracker boxes comprising the furni-
.ture in room Of 3 second grade, OF
which Miss z. Cadwalader is teacher.
There are thirty-seven pupils In this
grade. children Of the age of and 8
years. and the furniture Of the class
room consists Of plain kitchen chair
lof q very plain kitchen at that-three
desks without seats attached, six
cracker boxes. two soap boxes. a board,
TWO crates. and a well-mannered saw
horse, which fortunately does not buck
nor shy. even though the children
mount it and add ten and seven to get
four.
once Miss Cadwalader asked one Of
the eQuestrians to spell horse and he
made q rough guess and got as far as
h-a-r-z. For q while the situation was
critical; every moment IL was expected
that the sawhorse would rear and
plunge at such desecration of its an
cestral name. but the docile bench never
moved muscle.
The next day Raymond Puccinelli
brought his artistic contributions to the
school. having gathered them at the
corner Grocery. Then he willed his seat
on plain board to the boy who
couldn't spell horse. and the danger Of
a stampede was over.
It is q matter Of popular belief that
desks have been ordered for the Frank
lin School and that some Of the grades
ere properly equipped. With the eXcep-
1ion Of the B second grade the classes
have been supplied with forms" or
benches Of the backwoods type. plain
and simple. Of the sort that Abraham
lincoln and his comrades used to sit
upon. It cannot be denied that some
good men have graduated from the
rude bench. but for all that such seats
are peculiarly uncomfortable. But
there is no record that a great man
ever graduated from q cracker box
What a precedent Raymond Puccinelli
can establish
Neither has the sawhorse ever gal
'oped q lad TO the Hall Of Fame. nor
has one ever mounted to glory on
rrate. Others besides the Puccinelli
hoy may contribute new anecdotes to
fnture histories of Refugee Boys Who
Have Become Famous. The crate is
not as well behaved an animal as the
fawhorse. for IL frequently happens
that overdiligent pupils fall through its
open work. Then there is excitement
almost as intense as when a box breaks
with its load Of scholarship. Those
arc the terrible moments in B second
grade. for the progress of educat ton
has 70 be stopped. while RAYMOND
hustles hammer and nails to make re-
pairs.
