USED CHURCH AS ScHooLRoOM
Proceedings That Somewhat Aston
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter in the
light of a desecration or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by a man
who stood at the lower end of the
aisle, walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip a second time he scarcely gave
them thought, but when the trio
started around the church third time
and the man called out, Step little
more briskly, please" he began to
wonder, and presently made inquiry.
Il hope you won't be offended" the
man replied. Il am physical culture
instructor. | am teaching these young
ladies to walk. have already taught
them to walk in the street, in the
drawing room, in the thcater and every
place else they are likely to find them
selves. l am now teaching them to
walk there properly. Some lope, some
swagger, some skip, others adopt a
mincing gait. All these styles are
very inappropriate for church. A dig
nified, subdued gait alone is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church is
the best place for pupils in walking to
receive practical instruction, therefore
l have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton.
What next?"
But he said no more till the walk
ing exercise was ended. Then he fol-
lowed the class to the door.
"I hope" he said, you will practice
the lesson learned to-day by coming
here to church once in a while"

whom the Bible inspired with the love of learning
The Bible in the hand and heart of the mission
ary has revolutionized the educational systems of
China and Japan while it has transformed cannibal
tribes into civilized communities. Charles Darham
frankly confessed that it had done for the Terre del
Fuegians what he thought was impossible The study
OF great modern movements which have emancipat-
ed the human mind and given to millions civil and
religious liberty compels to take into account the
Bible as the mghtiest factor in bringing about these
results
The Neshoba Democrat., 1908-09-03

AS history the Bible is unique. In it
we trace the material universe back to its
origin in God. In it we learn the origin
of sin and crime and civilization
If you would study the history of liter

dreds of thousands of volumes in our great

exists. Theology, which is the science of
God, the greatest science in the world, is

Did you ever stop to think
how your advertising can be
made a source of profit to
you, and how its value can be
mea sured in dollars and

Advertising is a modern
business necessity, but must
be conducted on business
principles. If you are not
satisfied with your advertising
you should set aside a certain
amount of money to be spent

Child'S
Right
Entitled to Oppor-
tunity to Live and
Be Healthy
By DIR. LUTHER HALSEY GULICk,
Director of Athletics, New York Public Schools.

Children arc the dependence of city. They
are its very backbone.
There is strong economic reason that should
induce every city and township Of the country to take
interest in the welfare of its children. Few peo-
pie know it, but four-fhs of the entire school regis
tration of New York enjoys only the first five years
of our elementary school work. The last three years
work. for which the city each year approprates
money, is enjoyed by but one-ffth of our children.
The remainder are forced to miss grades by reason
of i'll health and conditions at home.
Some day the boards of education in every city
in the country will awake to the need of studying the
health Of the school children ro-dav In New York
