JUST WHAT IS THE MEN AND
 RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT

"What is it?'
 This is the question which thousands of men all over the continent have asked before they came under the grasp of the Men and Religion Forward Move ment. Here is the answer, which has been framed by the master minds which are directing it, based on the eXperl- ence of what it has already done: 'The object of this movement is de- fined as an effort to secure the per sonal acceptance of Jesus Christ by the individual manhood and boyhood of our times and their permanent enlistment in the programme of Jesus Christ as the world programme of daily affairs.
 Zach man may consider that the ob-
 f of this movement Is directed, not
 the whole world. but pointedly
 aight at him. that he may come to
 w Jesus Christ and that so far as
 touches others He will help them
 he upward trend"
 is then Inc purpose of the move
 to turn this changed man who is
 ry for an opportunity to show his
 tion to Christ into the activities
 e church of Jesus Christ, which is
 beina. hailed as the one instru-
 aIity appointed by Him for the salvation of the world.' By so doing the preacher will TO longer carry the burden of all human souls upon his heart, but men and boys of all walks in life will be enlisted in a definite cam paien for world wide Christian con quest"
 tI, fcif af in ruary is ito leave with every church, brotherhood, Sunday school and other religious organizations a worthy and workable plan of specialized effort for men and boys.
 It is expected that through evangelism the largest possible number of men and boys by May 1, 1912 that it will greatly increase the enrolment in Bible classes, that it will enlarge all the missionary en- terprises of the church. that it will bring many to volunteer for life service in the church, that it will increase the best life of the continent in all lines of endeavor. In discussing the movement, Campaign Manager Fred B. Smith recently said:
 ''The Men and Religion Forward Move ment is a call to Christian men and boys to make the will of God as revealed in His word the absolute law of their lives. In realizing this purpose it will magnify the church as the one divinely ordained agency through which is to be accom- plished the redemption of humanity.
 "The movement will seek to rediscovel and make effective the fundamental force: of the kingdom of God. It will give su preme emphasis to the word of God. Il announces no theories about the Book: | asks that men read if and live it. We have heard what the scholar has to say we want also the opinion of the man or the street. We know what the Book says

7zHINo CONGRESSMAN wantk to be put
40 thu trouble OF explaining to the
Efarme.Ss that the bill Wouldn't hurt
him-ifSi 1t won't-ani so very few
conEressmen numbering many
ffsf7sae71 xmong their constituents
took anything nor than the selfish
view of tie question. They did not
Inquire into the subject to ascertain
whether the proposed reciprocity
would help or hurt the farmer. They
didn't care. What they do care
about is keeping their seats, and if
they can do 1t by preventing a rival
from appealing to the prejudice or
ignorance or s%elfishness of voters,
they consider that very good politics.
That is why there is so much hum
bug and so very little sincerity about
the consideration by Congress of
this reciprocity bill. 1T is not, nor
will it be, considered upon its mer-
It's. To that extent the insurgents"
of the west who voted against it, are
as bad as the regulars of the east
who voted against reductions in the
on manufactured products,
when proposed for the p ayne act,
because such products are made in
their districts. Thus it is that con-
gressmen are not looking for the
facts on the subject of the tariff.
They don't care what the facts are.
They don't care If the producers in
their district are taking extortion-
ate profits from the consumers OF
the rest of the country. What they
want is reelection to congress, and
If the producer controls that re-elec-
ton, he will vote for anything the
producer wants, not stopping even at
plain robbery under license of the
government.
