"ChiIdren of Tomorrow" by Clara
E. Laugh1in is true novel of New
York. Perhaps no other piece of fic-
tion reflects the actual physical ap-
pearance of the city so wildly, or de-
scribes with such a graphic pen the
life led there. or expresses in so tell
ing a way the city's peculiar atmoS-
phere; certainly no contemporary
novel. This Is the more true because
Miss Laughlin confines herself to no
one section of the city or of its society.
It's young men and women characters
are drawn together, chiefly by a COM
mon curiosity of modern life, and a
common hope of lettering it. Lawyers,
newspaper men, settlement workers,
actors and actresses, and factory en-
pIoyees, play the parts in this drama;
and the scenes are real places in New
York, some of them famous, others
and of these the actual locations are
given-only known to small circles,
often of Bohemians. OF course, love
is the main element in the novel, but
probably never has the city of New
York been so vividly portrayed. or its
peculiar life so comprehensively por-

Organized religion should have busi-
ness with organized society. There
are aspects of modern life, vast social
and religious needs, which the indi-
vidual Christian and the individual
congregation are inadequate to meet.
This is dawning upon the Church as
one of the duties of the day. In the
cause of peace, in the industrial prob
lem, in the combat with organized
vice, in the war upon intemperance,
in the strife for the Christian ideal of
the family. the Church should keep
the place of actual leadership. And
the best possible means by which the
average person can serve the world
is through the Christian Church.

Because there are Universities of

present at least, that Christianity
should come to different persons pre-

the same size hats and shoes, and love
the same style of woman, and have
the same tastes in food and pictures
and music, we may hope that they
will all elect the same religious de-
nomination. In the meantime, every

good st. Nicholas, a patron saint of the
Netherlands, and in this connection we,
perhaps on account of our Dutch an
cestry, celebrate, his festival with a
kettledrum. Far back in the mists of
antiquity lies the origin of the GUS
tom of sending letters, or valentines, on
the saints day. while the original St
Valentine would appear to be gifted
with as many lives as the proverbial
cat, or reincarnations under the same
title. for We find two bishops of the
name, a Virgin martyr. and a Tyrolean
saint all of whom have authentic rec
ords of their lives and deaths preserved
in history, and none of whom would
seem to be in any way connected with
the valentines of today.
When Valentine Was Born.
However. it is always possible to
reconcile the two Nor three, and there is
sufficient evidence to show that ST
Valentine bishop of Rome, who died
in 278 A D., was born on the 14th day
of February, and he is to set down in
the Roman and Anglican calendars. He
was a martyr to his faith and when
cast into prison by his enemies he
cured his keepers daughter of blind
ness, for which miracle he was beaten
with clubs and then beheaded. and his
remains repose in the Church of ST
