MUST DEVELOP CHARACTERS
Rev. j. NJ. Kersey Tells of Needs o
the Present Day Church.

Rev. j. NJ. kersey Tells of Needs of
the Present Day Church.
The time OF the founding of the church
Of Jesus Christ was discussed by the Rev
j. M. Kersey, pastor of the First Christian
church, in his Sunday morning sermon.
According to the evidence of the scrip
lures, he said. the church became
reality on the day of Penteoost, in relating
history prior to the day OF Pentecost. the
new testament always refers TO the
church in the future tense; all references
after the day of Pentecost are in the
past tense.
1.-THE mere existence of the church, the
organization, does not count much, how
ever" said Dr. Kersey, ~ the members
of the church have not the spirit Let
us walk In the old paths, hew to the
line and build up the faith II we expect
to do anything for Christ in the church.
II will tell you what wrecks the lives
of more ministers than anything else. II
is to see men and women who have
spent ten. twenty or fifty years in the
church and are no stronger in character
than when they came in. This thing has
done more harm to the church than all
the shafts Of infidelity that have been
launched against it.
I'VE must add TO our faith the other
Christian virtues. We must study TO build
up our characters and develop the best
there is In us. Twenty-Five men and TWEEN
ty-five women in this church, who earn
estly sought for one year to develop their
characters could do anything they wanted
to do for the church"

TOO MUCH TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
Mayor GaynOr of New York Talks
Out in Meeting.

Mayor GRynOr of New York Talks
Out in Meeting.
In a heart-to-heart talk with eleven
men and women he appointed to the
Board of Education, Mayor Gaynor OF
New York sharply criticised the present
system of educating children. There
are too many subjects taught in the
common schools" he said. I'VE try to
teach the children too much and the re-
suit is they come out with a superficial
knowledge about a lot of things but no
accurate knowledge about anything. And
another view of it is that this over-edu-
eating of them makes them disinclined
to work with their hands. That 1 am
absolutely certain of.
1--WE are now bringing boys and girls
out Of the common schools who are
taught so much and who think they know
so much that they won't work any longer
with their hands. They say, Let other
people work with their hands and they
get a job where they can sit on a
high stool at books or at a typewriter.
And the girls refuse to do homework.
That is all there is to it.
1T is bad for the country. There is q
shortage of workers all over the country.
Those born here and brought up in the
schools won't work with their hands. At
all events, they don't want TO work
Il think a system of education that
produces that result is a failure. And I
think our system in the large cities is
very largely producing that result"
