People with an average income of
from $1,000 to $4,000 year live in
far more convenient houses in Ameri-
ca than in England. The matter of
water, heat, lighting, suitable kitchens
and laundries is insisted upon with us,
and is lacking to an appalling extent
in English country or even town
houses. and also in the more pre-
tentious country houses themselves.
The houses of the poorer classes, la
borers. clerks, servants and the like.
are mere boxes, with none of the con-
veniences to which Americans even
of the poorer classes are accustomed.

Reform.

Talk OF January one,
When reforming's to be done!
1t Is nothing to compare
With the springtime, gladly fair!
On a fateful autumn day
Hopefully we laid away
Various things no longer new,
Yet which might be made to do,
Now we tie EN- in a lump.
They are ready for the dump:
Last years hat and last years shoes
last years suit of faded hues; last
years collars. out of style; last
years clothes that make one smile
last years songs and last years
books-drag them from their dusty
hooks When the skies grow blue
and warm comes the general re.
form!
As you gaze upon the tree
Nothing but new leaves you see.
Fen the bird. with gay unrest,
Has no use for last years nest!

Heart TO Heart

CHURCH OR cIRcUs7
By EDWIN A. NYE.

CHURCH OR CIRCUS7
The trustees Of a large church In
Chicago have asked the pastor to re.
sign because he is too old.
The pastor is sixty years Of age.
Having given twenty-five Of the best
years Of his life-the very heart Of his
manhood-to the people Of his congre-
cation, he is to be turned out like an
old horse.
Furthermore
The trustees say, what we need II
a hustling business man who can raise
money and man who can preach ser
mons that will attract, a man NOT
afraid Of notoriety"
It Is easy to see what sort Of con
ception Of the church is held by these
trustees. They want church whe-e
material prosperity abounds, q church
Of influence and prestige and power.
Their idea Of a successful church i.
that Of an expensive plant, artistic
music that will attract critical people
sensational preaching that will excite
the comments OF the press and draw
the crowds.
And
In all this program there is not an
iota Of Christianity.
If a church Of Christ is anything
more than an ethical society or q
lodge or club, 1t is a divine institu
ton organized for a particular pur
pose. And that particular purpose II
the saving Of the souls Of men.
The church is set for the cultivation
Of the spiritual life. All else is Incl
dental
An expensive building is all right
provided 1t shall minister to spiritua
uses.
Excellent music is good-if it does
not degenerate into mere entertain
ment.
And strong preaching is necessary
provided 1t is gospel preaching.
But
When the church puts bigger pre-
MUM on ambitious buildings Of stone
or high priced music that IL more In
tellectual than heartful. or oratory II
the pulpit. or social gifts and graces
than 1t does on the depths and sweet
ness OF spirituality, why
That church ought to GO OUT OF
THE CHURCH BUSINESS and g,
INTO THE SHOW BUSINESS.
Men and women can get music at thu
concerts, oratory from the lecture plat
form, society where they choose. The.

Deaths by drowning are unusually

Meals for School Children.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
About fifteen years ago simple lunch
cons were served to high school pupils
in Boston. The purpose wer more So
cial and educational than charitable.
That was the beginning of the serving
OF meals to school pupils SO far as
America is concerned. Now the ex-
pertinent is being tried In all sorts Of
ways from the rural schools of Maine
to the normal school of Honolulu.
Sometimes it is in the effort to teach
the boys and girls the value OF well
prepared food, sometimes it is to give
them new ideas about serving food.
sometimes 1t is for social reasons. and
again sometimes 1t is to make sue
hat~underfed pupils have at least one
wholesome meal a day.

What is the use toSblame the city Of

ones most interested?
There is no reason why every de-
tail of any franchise. before its final
adoption, should not be thoroughly
brought to light-whv every consider
alton should not be discussed in am
pie time. A franchise which affects
the town for the next twenty-five
years should not be railroaded
through without all the facts being
known.
That is the position we take in the
matter.
II we are to have a franchise it
should be the best bargain that the
citizens can make There is no need
for hurry. We are sure that enough
information about this proposition
will be ct hand when the two, com
panies have made their proposals for
the citizens to look into the matter II
they are not too callous and indif
ferent to do it.
II that is the case, any after blame
on their part will be on their heads
and not on the contracting parties
and the city officials.
Get to the bottom-take plenty OF
time-and then weigh the consider

what Is the need to CRY out after
The Montgomery tribune., 1909-12-17
Unfortunate Guatemala.

Guatemala is a corruption of an
Indian word meaning "a land covered
with trees" Like so many of those
Spanish-American states, nature
seems to have been lavish in her pro-
vision, while the inhabitants have
failed to profit by her generosity.
While Boston was in it's infancy
Guatemala. the capital city. had 100.-
900 inhabitants and was the home Of
learned men, with schools of theol-
ogy and science. Yet to-day there are
only 400 miles of railway in the coun-
try, and it takes as long to go from
Guatemala City to Totonicapan. the
next largest town, only 100 miles
away as it does to travel from New
York to San Francisco on an express
train. So much for the policy of
"manana." The possibilities OF the
country would be great were they not
yoked to the present conditions.
The Montgomery tribune., 1909-12-17
GOOD WORK is LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
contentment That Is Chief
Part Of Life.

II man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love 1t. The manualtrain-
ing scheme has this in view--to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as will
make It attractive to him.
THE man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment out Of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets a great part of his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks.
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing 1t negligently. So these
things always go together-honest
work, contentment and love Of the job.
The Montgomery tribune., 1909-12-17
The Vacant Chair.

What sad memories linger around
the old vacant chair. Sitting in the
middle of the floor, with a plaintive
look about its frayed and seemingly
weary back, it brings back tumultu-
Gus riot of sad recollections that time
can never efface. Volumes Of bitter
anguish come to me when I arrive
home in time to catch the milkman
swiping the loose furniture around the
place, and take off my shoes to avoid
publicity, and strike my best toe
against the rocker of the old vacant
chair. Then, forgetting for the mo-
ment my unclad feet, kick the chair
on the other rocker. That is when
the sadness and suffering that fingers
around the old chair comes out with
an extra edition and great chunks OF
gloom settle over me like herd of Ill.
natured fiies.-Oregon Journal.

A Good Manaqer,

Homer s. Taylor, president of the
National Archery association. said at
an archers' dinner in Chicago:
IAN archer must be very skillful
and calm and cool to succeed. He
must handle his bow as Mrs. Poarck
of Michigan avenue handles her hus-
band.
"Mr. Poarck came home very late
the other night from an important po-
litical meeting, In the hall he kicked
up rather a row, growing and swear.

him from upstairs:
WHATS the matter, my dear?'
"'Matter-hic--is.' Mr.. Poarck

"'But you've got two hats. haven't

Mans Responsibility.

Some people take no more interest
in public affairs than IL they were citi-
zens Of Mars. They go to and from
their places OF business, eat, sleep,
sell goods. and die, without leaving
single impress on the community
they live in. either for good or bad
That is poor way. for real man
to act. He takes the benefits his COM
munity bestows, but refuses to rem
der the slightest service in return Of
course, that is mean. But it is mean
er yet to praise oneself for his indif-
ference. as many do.
There are some people who put
great stress on religious duty, but
take no part in civic duty, as If there
was sort of chasm between them.
But there is not any such chasm. Re.
ligious duty is civic duty, and vice
versa. and a man who sees no duty
in his relation to civil government
takes a mighty laggard view of his
duty toward God.
The man who insists that he won't
dirty his hand in politics is the man
who is responsible for politics being
dirty. The man who does nothing to
keep politics clean is really engaged
in keeping them corrupt.--Ohio State
Journal.
