Topeka Pension Agency in Doubt.
The annual pension appropriation
bill is still hung up in conference be-
cause of fight on providing for the
maintenance of the various pension
agencies. The house voted to CONSOLE
date the entire number into one general
agency at Washington, but the senate
readily restored provision providing
for all present agencies. The bill has
been in deadlock over this subject for
several. weeks. 1t is generally believed
that the bill will be finally adopted in
its present shape. However, not until
a decision is reached regarding the
various pension agencies will there be
new pension agent for the Topeka
agency. Should the Topeka agency be
provided for, A. w. Smith of McPher-
son will be nominated and confirmed
as agent for that office.

by the annual United Brethren Chris
tan Endeavor convention Of North

located the convention in the western
part of the state, thus giving many in
the western part of the state who
have hitherto been deprived of the
benefits of these gath erings an oppor-
tunity to attend and enjoy this con-
vention.
An exceptionally strong program
has been arranged for, such as will re-
pay one to go the full length of the
state to enjoy. Prof. M. A. Honline
of Dayton, O., one of Americas fore
most young peoples workers and a
specialist in Christian Endeavor work,
will conduct institute work during the

At a meeting of the young pso-
pie, representative OF the Epworth
League, the Christian Eadeavor
Society and the Baptist Young
Peoples Union, held at the Moody
Church, in Chicago, a few even
ings ago, a resolution was unani-

preme Court of Illinois to reverse
its decision that the Bible should
not be read in the public schools,
the Lords prayer not be repeated,
nor sacred hymns be sung. TWAS

Of these refer to the Supreme Be-
ing.
We are told that there is too
much of the foreign element in
Chicago to permit the reading of
the Bible. But in New York City
it is read daily. Ambassador

tan civilization with an instructive
sense of obedience to law and a
becoming regard for the authori-
ties that represent it. May it not
happen that in our effort to keep
all questions of religion and
morals in what we consider the
proper place, they may in reality
be left without any place in the
training of a good many child
ren?"
We may not need to have re-
ligion, and certainly not Sec
tarianism taught in the public
schools, but the principles of
moral life should be taught, and
how we can teach them without
reference to Gods law? The safety
of the people and the perpetuity of
the nation depend upon the honor
able character of its citizens. The
police of at least one great city de-
clare that they are powerless to
secure safety for the people. That
something is wrong is attested by
the many crimes of violence which
take place. Crimes against the
weaker sex are evidence that con-
science lies dormant. Murders
robberies, defalcations show that
many are only awaiting ar oppor-
tunity to commit crime. Whatcan
be done? Is it not time for the
whole nation to awaken to the i'm
portance of securing the health Of
our people? And how car we Sc
cure the health without teaching
the moral law, which is founded
on Gods law?
The public school reaches more
children than any other institu-
ton. The family will not and the
church can not wholly meet the
need.

1.-THE Brother of Girls"

Wherever a campaign against
hewhite slave traffic is waged, the
troublesome question arises,
"What shall we do with the UNI
fortunate girls?" Many years ago
Charles N. Crittenton, a great
hearted, big-brained Christian
man, became interested in answer
ing this question in a practical and
satisfactory fashion, and the evil
dence that he did this most sue
cessfully is to be found in the
seventy -eight Florence CritteIlton
rescue homes which exist to-day
in the United States. The life OF
Charles N. Crittenton is a striking
example of what a man can do for
humanity if he will give himself
up wholly and unreservedly to the
service of the Master. He conse-
Grated his wealth, his time, his en-
ergies and himself to the rescue
and reformation of fallen girls.
His autobiography, entitled "The
Brother of Girls" is full of thrilling
spiritual adventures and romances
of grace. The title "Brother OF
Girls which Mr.. Crittenton states
in the story of his life, he preferred
to any Of the many titles which
had been conferred upon him. was
given to him by Frances E. Wil-
lard at the Denver w. G. T. u.
convention in 1893. Many beauti-
full tributes of appre citation to Miss
Willard and her work are given
by Mr.. Crittenton in this volume.
Speaking of Miss WillaSd's
death, he said: "We are thankful
that God has raised up consecrated
Christian women to follow on ip'
the same line OF work, e~ncirclinf,

million, on their knees at every

way, somehow, to break up this
