Against the Presidents
Special

= H.. o. Harrison, representative for
Peerless cars in California, and one of
the most experienced road drivers in
the west, has been asked to handle a
Peerless car on a race with President
Taft's special from Los Angeles to
Fresno and then from Fresno to San
Francisco. This will mean two relays,
one of 29S miles, the other of about
212 miles.
When the president reaches Los An
geles in his special train he will be.
entertained royalty and then will be
taken by special train to Fresno UP
the valley route 1t is proposed to
start a motor car at the same time
that the fast special train bearing the
president starts and race to the Raisin
City Harrison has been nominated as
the most likely man TO take a car
through successfully.
The Peerless man now holds the Los
Angeles-Fresn auto road record of
hours 5S1s minutes. He will have to
equal this performance again, when
the roads are even rougher, in order
to reach Fresno before the fast rail-
road train.

This month sees the establishment of

days the vine-covered cottage has largely
given way to apartments in monotonous

ceive her greeting after the days toll.
Yes, the representations of these new
bowers Of Move found in novels and
poetry hardly accord with what has now
come to be necessitated by the f1ocklng
of people to cities and the inevitable linn

terror of the home is, after all, only the

Young couples before and after mar

a home and usually concern themselves
chiefly with its externals. Wouldn't 1t be
a good thing to pay at least equal atten-
ton to the moral and spiritual funda-
mentals on which the peace and JOY OF
any new or old home for that matter
depends? Here are four suggested cor
ner stones

sad difference between pre-honeymoon
and post-honeymoon days. I sometimes
see middle aged or elderly married
couple taking a meal together in the
restaurants or travelling for a half day
on the train. Hardly a word passes be-
tween them and one wonders whether
they have exhausted all the topics of mu-
tual interest. All. there was a time a
few years ago when their tongues could
hardly clatter fast enough
The fourth corner stone should be con-
fdence- If you are not prepared to be-
lieve in YOUR companion in season and
out Of season. in sickness and health, in
poverty and wealth. then you would bet
ter hesitate before you commit yourself
to lifelong union. There will be times,
when 1t may be hard to understand just
what the other does or fails to do, but

gle action but interpret every action by

tiens apd in the character as whole
Bide your time and in the end your con-
doing your best to justify the confidence
reposed in you.
These four c's. cooperation. considera-
tion. comradeship and confidence, If built
into the foundations Of the home will
make their influence felt day by day If
they are kept strong the home cannot
fail to be happy. And the poets dream
of an ideal home will be realized when he
says:

Two hearts within one breast;
Two spirits in one fare

use Of getting married IL either one Is
going on just as much of an individu
alist as before the wedding, If either one
wants his or her way SO badly as not. to
be willing to yield or at least to cOmpro-
mise? If any institution in society needs
team work 1t is the home, for when diff
ferent temperaments are brought into
such close contact there is going to be
trouble unless each has learned to love
herself. Put in, then. for the corner
stone the solid granite Of cooperative
spirit. Take time to talk things over oc-
casionally, to thrash out differences, to
get the others point OF view. Sometimes
to modify your own in the interests Of a
common purpose is not only the most
magnanimous but also the wisest course.
sThe second corner stone is considera-
tion. Even people who make 1t their
aim to cooperate with one another ape
not always copsiderate. There gets to

saw clearly that there could be no great

sense of God without the church. So he
recalled the clergy, reinveste6 the church,

was recovered.
AS God has Himself designated His House
as the special place of His manifested
presence with men, every disciple should
make it a matter Of conscience to meet
Him there. there TO confess Him before
all the people. there TO worship Him and
receive His word.
A second reason for the regular attend
ance of Christ's disciple at church is his
personal security. He will there have the

OPPORTUNITY OF THE CHURCH

Rv Rev. Charles Stel

The church must preach social mes
sage. II must not fail to demand that
the American workingman should get his
share of our common production. For
while Ii Is true that the American work
fnGman Is the best paid workngman in
all the world compared to what he pro-
duces he is the poorest paid workngman
In the world.
The church must also make a fight for
the masses of the people living in our
great cities. The filthy slum, the in
sanitary factory, the dark tenement. the
long hours of toll, the lack of living
wage. the back-breaking labor, the in
times of sickness. the poor and insufficient
fooG the lack of leisure, the swift ap-
proach of old age. the dismal future
these weigh down the hearts and lives of
the mutitudes in our great cities. Many
have almost forgotten how to smile: to
laugh is a lost art. The look of care
has come often and for SO long
period of time that ii Is now forever
stamped upon their faces. Their ethical
souls are all but lost. No hell in the
future can he worse to them than the
hell in which they now are. They fear
death less than they fear sleep. Some.
indeed, long for the summons. daring
not to take their lives. To such what

traction has the lowery sermon or the
polished grafton? What meaning have
the Fatherhood of God and the brot her
hood of man? Where Is Godo they ask
and what cares man, they say.
1t Is in meeting the needs of these that
the church must be aggressive. 1t must
tell the truth about the people,. as we'll
as those who are depressing them. For
this Is what Jesus did. 1t must tell the
truth. even though 1t is crucifed. as its
Master was. 1t was because Jesus went
to his death for your sake and for mine
that His power Is growing today as it
has never grown before Infidels MAY
scoff at the arguments of Christian
scholars. but the life of Christ has Stun
ned them from the first century down
to the twentieth. He is today the King
of the civilized world. He is the Court
of last appeal. Workingmen are saying
that If Jesus were on earth today He
would fight the battles of the laboring
man. and they are right. He fought
them when He was upon earth The prog
ress made by working people through
out every generation has been due to
the influence OF Jesus in all ages He
has been their champion and their friend.
Is it not a cowardly thing to ask Him
to fight the battle alone? Dare you. as
workingmen. take your place beside Him,
telling Him that you will follow whittier
He leads? 1t is only fair that you should
do so. What / have asked for the work
