Every Christian a Worker.

Each member of Christian
church should be a worker for Christ.
Our Lord has never granted dispen-

any of us desire that He should? His
vows are upon us all without excep-
ton.
Are we each obedient to His word,
Occupy till I Gomez" Are we put
ting out our talents to interest? If
we are not doing so, we can never
enter into rest. Rest implies previ-
Gus labor. We are hidden by the
Holy Spirit to labor, to enter into
the rest of God; It IS the way thereto.
Idlers are unrestful. fidgety, worried
and worrying, fretful and fancjful,
troubled and troublesome. They are
the happiest who are the most COM
pletely consecrated to the service of
God and most fully absorbed in ODE
dience to His will. Oh, that ali our

Has No Diaphragm.

A novel telephone receiver without
diaphragm has recently been de-
vised, for which many advantages are
claimed. 1t consists of a permanent
magnet, the poles Of which are con
nected by soft core, making a con.
tinuous magnetic circuit. A coil
wound round this core is connected
to the transmitter and suitable bat.
terry. When the transmitter is spoken
into, says the Scientific American, the
undulatory current affects the entire
magnetic circuit of the receiver, re.
producing the voice very distinctly,
1t is said that with this receiver there
are no overtones or disturbing sounds
due to the vibrating of diaphragm.
In one modification of this telephone
the sounds were produced with such
clearness as to fill large hall.

COFFEE DOESN'T HURT Me-

"My trouble finally got SO bad
had to live on milk and toast almost
entirely for three or four years. Still
I loved the coffee and wouldn't be-
lleve it could do such damage.
What l needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form
as my stomach could digest.
81 had read much about Postum,
but never thought it would fit my
case until one day l decided to quit
coffee and give it trial and make
sure about it. So l got package
and carefully followed the directions
Soon I began to get better and
was able to eat carefully selected
foods without the aid Of pepsin or
other digestants and it was not long
before 1 was really a new woman

Nov l am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and l know this wonder
full change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment
needed through this delicious
Postum.
MY wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the trou-
bles that go with it and build them

CHURCH DROPS BIBLE.

Owing to the growing lack of in
terest in the Bible on the part of
the young men members of the Sun
day School class of the First Con-
gregational Church of Jersey City,
the church has decided to abandon
the international Sunday School les
sons and go in for sociology. Pro-
hibition, protection, free trade, So
cialism, single tax, municipal govern
ment, social betterment, and kindred
subjects will be taken up instead.
The church is one of the largest in
: Jersey City, the Rev. John L. Scud-
der, who has become we'll known to
the Jersey City public because of his
war on illegal liquor selling, being
the pastor.
The Bible class, as strictly
Bible class, has been abandoned, and
Nelson Forman elected president of
the sociology class, and Lester Mehr-
hoff secretary of the new class. G.
E. Adams, a New York commission
merchant, will be the sociology
teacher.
There has been considerable dis
cusson, but no open opposition to
the new church plan; most of DR..
Scudder's members having frankly
acknowledged that something had to
be done to maintain the interest in
the church. DR.. Scudder explained
Yesterday some of the reasons for
the change.
"The lessons from the lives Of
Abraham. Jacob, and the rest of
the Old Testament heroes are inter-
esting and beneficial, he said, but
they do not touch modern life in
timately enough to interest young
men. The young man of today Is
face to face with economic and So
cial problems which did not exist
in Biblical times. These problems
are pressing for solution, and the
minds of our young men should be
guided correctly in their thought up
on them.
