ments.
A large audience assembled Tuesday
afternoon to hear Or. Elliott in his most
popular address. THE Christian attitude
toward amusements.' He takes no rad
ical view nor does he score high society
or formidable amusements, but follows
out the line of argument found in Mark
g "a. DR.. Elliott said there were two dis
tince voices of the soul, one calling us
heaNenward and the other hellward. The
world 5 idea OF a good time is to do any
thing so long as it pleases self. The
Christians motive is finding the highest
others You say self denial is only
negative; it is don't do this and don't
do that" but the positive is Take up
his cross" Merely keeping from wrong
or giving up is not all the Christian life.
Should you at once take your stand by
the side of Christ for deVout Christian
life then the Christian attitude toward
amusements or questionable things can
easily be determined by asking yourself
the following questions; % "Wll what
do help this body? In doing this or
that will | enlarge the circle of my in
fiuence? win it bring me as much true
pleasure, as self denial for the good of
others" 90 DO questionable things in
the home or church pay in the long
rum" C3) "Win you come after Christ
in life of self denial?' DIR. Elliott
closed with an appropriate story OF a coll
lege graduate and mother. 1t was COM
menCement day at Southern university
and medals were to be awarded for schol-
arship, and as the president of the uni
Versity arose to deliver the presentation
speech and pin the medal on the young
man to whom it was to be awarded, in
stead of responding to the mastery
speech. he quietly slipped from the pla
from and walked down the aisle to the
rear Of the chapel where modest woman
in plain calico dress was sitting II,
gently pinned the medal on his mother
saying in tones which thrilled the audi
enCe, this is where the medal rightly

What's the Matter with kurn Hsttlr

What's the Matter with kurn Hattln7
The conditions at Kurn Hattin have
assumed such a nature that citizens of
our village who have been in touch with
the work since its organization feel they
have a right to know the cause of the
present state of affairs at the home. 1t
is but natural that the townSpeople, while
giving financial support to the institution,
should desire the highest good, In every
sense of the term for the home. If the
fault is with the present management,
We say let there be a change at once; If
II be with outside influence which has
unjustly been brought to bear upon the
interests of the home. let that be investi-
gated True it Is that Kurn Hattin was
established as "A Christian home. where
working mothers in particular could send
their boys with the feeling that only
good Influences would surround them
while they worked to help support that
home. 1t was never designed for a re-
form institution with severe methods. but
place where any parent might trust
their sons with the feeling that they
were safe.
Since october l four boys have left the
home. The first two reached their desti-
nation safely and have been heard from.
one Of the boys who left October S was
severely punished few weeks ago.
Whether Justly or not the writer is UNI
able To state. but the story has gone forth
that the punishment WIS inhuman. As a
lover OF Justice To all and especially Kurn
Hattiu, we demand a thorough. impartial
investigation Never but once i'm the his
tory of the home has there been "a like
insurrecton. ana We trust this may bc as
speedily settled as heretofore
To those who have this matter I'm
charge We simply ask to put themselves
in the places Of those who have sent their
boys to Hurn Hattn, expecting right
and Justice

~ HE farm is no longer the iso-
lated, lonely place that it used
to be or that many people
seem to think it is yet. Farm
Ing under modern conditions is bust
ness and in most cases is coming to

step in the undermining Of the farm
came with the introduction Of the ru-
la free delivery in 1897. Put in at first
as a sort of experiment, concession
&C. the insistent demands of the ma
tional grange and other farmers Or
ganlzations. it spread rapidly and soon
became indispensable. 1t was potent
factor in waking up the farmers. One
OF the first and greatest results was
that the daily paper for the farm was
made possibility.
Before the advent of the rural free
delivery the farmer who kept within
