and theaters which have gdt into your
house of worship. Think OF the things
you do and still have your, name on the
church record. The church has no song
like she had. But I believe there has
never been a brighter day for the
church for 100 years than there is right
now. Woe betide the church, the peo--
pie, or the town which tries to stand in
the way Of his cause for the salvation
of men,
Begin With the Preachers.
"Hezekiah began with the priests. I
begin with the preachers. They are as
a whole the best men ever meet. 1t is
only once in a while that / meet, one
with the yellow dog in him. If God
could convert all the preachers and
make them quit preaching heresies and
go to preaching Jesus Christ you
would see the greatest wave of relig-
ion sweep over this country you ever
saw.
Then cleanse the inner temple, the
Sunday school, the superintendent, and
the teachers. Many a church official
would look better in a penitentiary
suit than in church clothes. The church
as a whole is being Slapped by worldli-
ness.
Bring Back tho Bible.
"HezelSiah restored the vessels. Let
us restore the bible to the pulpit, About
all the use some preachers have for
the bible is to get the text from it,
Bring the bible into the home and kick
out the cards. Let's bring it back into
the schools. Poke your head in the
schools and they Immediately get cold
feet for fear that you will say some
colleges are rampant with sin, and
the schools have gone daffy over dane
ing.
Bring Back Prayer.
Prayer is another thing we must
bring back. The church must do two
things if it wants to grow; pray an6
do personal work. If they do not the
church will die out. Choirs must sing
in prayer Most choirs sing for tone
quality and tone placement. They dc
not sing to tell that old booze fighter
to get back on the water wagon. They
sing for show-they sing for every
thing but what they should sing for.
Where Is Song Once Knew?
$50 many sing, % where is the JOY
that once I knew when first I loved
the Lord I'll tell you. It's back there
where you left it when you side-step.

you began to play cards; where yo,
left it when you began drinking bee
at social parties; where you left i

Then the singing began in the tenn
pie, and they went out singing and be
gan to sing all over the land about Go,
and the nation was brought to Him.

Street With q Bad Name.

Paris Corr. London Globe.
The lib inhabitants of the Rue des
Mauvais Garcons have signed a petit
ton asking that the name of the stree.
be changed. They contend that the
denomination OF the thoroughfare in
which they reside produces a bad i'm
preston on those to whom they are
obliged to give their address. and their
representative on the municipal coun-
ell has promised to do what he can to
have their wishes complied with. The
street of the Bad Boys was. II appears.
so named In the sixteenth century be-
cause Of the noisy character OF its In
habitants. But now it merits no such
designation: those who reside there ere
for the most part peaceful and respect
able citizens. and they think ii IL high
time the street was given another
name. If one were to make a tour
through this city. reading the names OF
the streets. some very curious exam
pies would be discovered. Among those
have remarked are the street of the
Little Windows, street OF the Mules
Foot street of the Holy Fathers and
that OF the Daughters of Calvary. Dry
Tree street, Empty Pocket street, street
of the Good Children and Boulevard Of
the Good News.
