It was formerly the belief that to
become strong, athletes must eat
plenty Of meat.
This is all out Of date now, and

down to small portion once a day.

Bishop Brent's Christianity.


In q somewhat drab hour, II not &C
tually dark one, the example Of Prot
estent Episcopal Bishop Brent Of the
Philippines is inspiring. He declines
the comfortable bishopric in Washing
ton, left vacant by DR.. Satterlee, be.
cause God has bid him stay where he
is. There is much toll there, and
much danger, too. The climate Is de-
bilitating and the social routine is not
particularly enlivening. There Is
nothing in his far eastern assignment
for the bishop but hard and frequent.
ly discouraging work in the service OF
the church. The Washington diocese,
on the other hand, is a shining goal
for aspiring churchmen. Secretary
Taft is right when he says that Bish-
op Brent Is a martyr, and there Is not
a hint Of vainglory in his martyrdom.
Not word of adverse criticism from
any quarter would have followed his
acceptance of the Washington appoint
ment, says the New York Times. He
had everything to gain by accepting
1t, and everything, but the chance OF
heroic service for Christianity, to lose
in declining 1t. He Is the one man In
ten thousand, and not only his church,
but the whole country will be proud of
him.
