Governor 10 Evangeli3e.
Glenn of North Carolina to Participate in the
Movement of Laymen to Evange1ize
the Country.

Gov. Robert b. Glenn OF North Carolina
rated by Presbyterian laymen for the
evangelization OF the country. This de-
termination was recently made known by
Gov. Glenn to a few close personal friends.
The chief executive Of North Carolina
who has always been prominent in the sup
port OF religious work. will retire from Of
fee in January and shortly thereafter he
plans to take up the work OF evangelical
ton.
Throughout the past summer Gov Glenn
has at different times addressed various
chautauquas and other religious gather
ings, where his forceful advocacy of re-
ligion has gathered about him a large
circle OF admirers. He lectured before
an audience OF 5000 people at the Bristol,
Va, chautauqua about week ago and
since that time upon several occasions
has addressed other large religious gath
eringS.
In all OF his addresses the governor
emphasized the need Of education and re-
1igion, which. he said counts for most in
the lives OF the rising generation.
Gov. Glenn attended large number of
the meetings OF the International Y. NJ.
c. A. held In this city last year and paid
close attention to what was said by the
speakers upon the work for the general
uplift Of the people.
Robert Brodnax Glenn has been gov
ernor OF North Carolina since 1905 He
was born in Rockingham county In that
state In 1854 and is a son of Chalmers L.
and Annie Dodge Glenn. His early edu-
cation was received from a tutor at his
home. Later he attended the high school
at Leakesville. N. c.. and afterward stud
led at the University Of Virginia, David

striving to Guido any similar ceremony

that the full program has not as yet been
completed Most important of all. the
date has not been set. Heretofore 1t
has been stated that the reception would
be held Saturday. October 10. Consldera-
BILE regret has been expressed here in
Washington over the selection of Satur-
dav. 1t being a must day with nearly
all business men. 1t has been rumored
that the Friday previous. the 9th, or
the following Monday will he the date
finally selected. 1t is hoped to prevail
on Cardinal Gibbons to accommodate
either one of these two dates. If the
reception is held Saturday very few of
the local clergy will be able to attend.
In addition to the enforced absence OF
many other observation-disclosures.
Mgr James +. Mackin, pastor of st.
Paul's Catholic Church, is chairman of
the local committee of ARRANGEMENTS for

The Art of Making Adjustments

The Art of Making Adjustments.
That which recommends certain APP
pl!ances to public favor and use Is their
adjustability. They can be easily adapt
ed to differing conditions and because of
that fact their praises are chanted In
beguiling advertisements. That which
makes certain persons extremely unpopu-
lar and limits their influence and useful
ness is their inelastcity. To employ an
oId-time New England phrase, these per-
sons are extremely "sot" in their ideas
and ways, as was the aged bridegroom
about to embark for the fourth time on
the stormy sea OF matrimony. who, when
the minister told him and his bride to
rise and Join hands replied, I've usually
sot.''
But why should man be less pliable
than machine? Why should he be as
stiff as ramrod? The truth Is either
We or the laws OF the universe must I'M
bend, If life is TO go on strongly and
serenely. And il will not be the laws
that viii alter their attitude. AS some
one has sagely observed, providence
has no pets" Adjustment Is the di-
vine order of life for man from the cradle
to the grave and beyond. Indeed the
biologists define. life as the power that
responds 10 a given environment If we
wait for the world to come TO us to fall
in with our whimS and idlosyacrasies we
shall wait in vain
How much better. then, to learn early
in life the art of adjustment. First OF
all to material things. Most of us
would like to live in a better house than
that which We now irhabit. But the
chances may be slim that We ever shall.
Well. then. why not adapt ourselves as
gracefully as we can to our present
abode. The place in which We do our
work lacks this or that desirable element.

SPECIAL DAYS.
Suggestions for Celebrations in Sun
day Schools.

From the Sunday School Times.
Promotion day should be celebrated
regularly once year. In younger de-
nartments of the school IL is sometimes
observed twice year. I have found the
best success in having 1t annually It
should come near or at the close OF the
regular school year. which oftener than
otherwise is the calendar year. There
are advantages, however, so far as be-
ginners and primaries are concerned. In
having promotion day in the spring. On
this account childrens day is often used
for that purpose. Sometimes church
observes fiscal year. which is not the
calendar year. This is true in the church
and school with which I am most familiar.
consequently our promotion day comes in
September. Having discovered the best
day for this purpose, adhere to 1t.
Rally day usually occurs in the early
fall Immediately after the summer Vaca-
ton. There Is evident fitness for this
date as it affords choice opportunity
for rallying the forces after the summer
vacation. We have always observed the
last Sunday in September, or the quar-
terly review day, as ii lends itself adj
mirably for the purpose of rallyinG for
the fall and winter work.
Childrens day-EXcept in the eXtrema
southern part of our country this is
usually but not universally, observed on
the second Sunday in June. This date
lldS pTOOdDiy DeeH MT upon DtcduSe low
ers are more plentiful then than earlier or
later, and they form an important feature
in the decorations for children's day, and
appropriately SO. Where tho flowers ara
at their best at some other date than the
one given should be inclined to change
the date to suit the flowers.
Decision day should, in my judgment.
be a movable feast, and indeed / would
not announce it in advance at all. It
may occur once a year, once quarter.
once a month or every Sunday. owing TO
conditions The use of the singular weuId
indicate that there Is but one decision
day In a year. In most schools there
should be more.
Missionary day-For the most part
what was said about decision day would
apply here. Missionary instruction should
find a place In every session OF the school,
during the year This need not do away,
however with the missionary day occa-
sonally I would not observe a mission.
ary day with the understanding that that
was to represent the missionary thermom"
eter of the school for the year.
Home department, day, mothers day
and baby day I should observe on rally
day. There is a danger of having too
many such days in our work.
