THE CHURCH'S BUSINESS.
BY President Woodrow Wilson.

The business of the church is not to pity
men. The business of the church is not to
rescue them from their suffering by the mere
means of material relief or even by the means
OF spiritual reinsurance. The church cannot
afford to pity men because it knows that men,
II they would take it, have the richest and
completest inheritance that 1t is possible to
conceive, and that, rather than being desery.

to that lost integrity that the Christian church
is organized. To my thinking, the Christian church
stands at the center not only Of philanthropy but at
the center OF education the of science at the

at the center OF sentiment and thinking life And the
business of the Christian church. of the Christian min

Wear Cotton or Linen.

Should wool, cotton or linen be worn
next to the skin? Wool has its de
voices, who would look on discarding
their merino or flannel vest or drawers
as a risk of life Medical opinion has
radically changed in recent years, Les
lies Weekly says, and now many, If
not most, doctors favor cotton or linen
next the skin. Wool absorbs perspira-
tino and retains it; it absorbs it with
difficulty at first, but surrenders it to
the surrounding air with even greater
difficulty. Cotton, on the other hand,
asks only an opportunity to dry, which
it does as rapidly as possible. The best
plan in cold weather is to wear cotton
or linen next the skin, with wool outer
clothing. The wool excludes moisture
and cold, while the cotton absorbs the
perspiration quickly and dries even

he kept as a pet in his apartment.

comfort in comparing their own status
with that Of their grandmothers, great;
grandmothers and remoter ancestors.
The comfort will lie not in rejoicing
over the limitations Of the women OF
the past generations, but in the evil
dence afforded of the great progress
made by the sex. But there is a closer
and contemporary companion picture
which conveys the same lesson. A To
kio newspaper has recently questioned
the Japanese commercial commission
ers on their return from a tour OF in
Yestigat1on In the United States as to
what displeased them most among the
conditions they encountered on their
trip Among the answers were the
following: Extreme respect paid to
women" "Preaumptuous attitude OF
women over men and the mingling Of
boys among girls In schools" TOO
much respect for women" "Unreason-
able egotigm on the part Of women"
Too much pride on the part of WON
en-" TO salute any kind OF woman"
Unnatural gestures and phraseology
of women in talking" These replies
were given by some OF the most en-
lightened and progressive men OF ia
pan. Japan has made great progress
along many lines, but the notion OF the
inferiority Of women still persists. Her

all the little services which American
gallantry prescribes as the part of the

which from our standpoint would be
called loutish, never prevailed In
American or European society; never
theless, the notion of the duty Of obed-
fence of women in essentials was al

His theory of the famed serpent of
