THE REAL THING

IT'S no more strain to think
= well of people than to think
bad of Them" says Baldwin
Badly in LIGHTSHIP CT. a
two-part story by ia mes b.
Connolly that begins in our
next SUNDAY MAGAZINE. And
a little later on he declares,
Its a mighty poor specimen
that amt all right when it
comes to showdown"
Maybe you will have diff
Guilty in determining who is
the real hero in this tale. 1t
doesn't seem like fiction at all,
because the people in it are so
hunan-in the weakness of
them and the bigness of them.
1t doesn't make much differ
ence about the hero; but there
isn't any doubt that Baldwin,
who has been a chief DO sn's
mate in the navy off and on
for fifteen years, is the real
thing. And when you strike
the real thing in a man or in
an idea, you always feel a lit
tie thrill.
There are many thrills in
this fine story; for it has an
intense. exciting, climacteric
scene in which brave men fight
the fury of the ocean in a gale.
You know that Mr.. Connolly
made his reputation in writing
sea stories. especially those of
the Gloucester fishermen. But
these thrills of excitement
pass swiftly. while those caused
by encouraging the real thing
in the characters leave their
imprint.
And that is the kind of story
we like best.

And that is a real triumph in
story writing.
You know. perhaps, that
Mr.. Flower was born in Wis
consin and educated in New
England, and that he has
been a successful editorial
writer as well as a successful
writer of stories. He seems to
divide his time pretty equally
between the two. He likes
stories of action of real men
with red blood in their veins.
THE RANK OUTSIDER.
L by Katharine Holland
Brown, is another prize entry
in Our next SUNDAY MAGA-
ZINE. In this story the real
thing is also the dominant
note. 1t is about the social
side of the navy, and will give
an insight of the enormously
important part women play in
the service that will astonish
you. 1t also has the two kinds
of thrills. 1t is the kind of
story that women will like
particularly.
THERE isn't the slightest
doubt in the world about
Torchy's being the real thing.
He would even admit that
himself. having a fairly accu-
rate measure of his own value.
In TORCHY GETS FROM
UNDER. in Our next issue, the
irrepressible one is shown in
an unusual predicament. He
is Gin Dutch as he would
say, actually accused of crook
edness, and it puts the iron
into his fearless soul. The
situation calls upon all of his
great resources, and-well,
you know Torchy. There's
no such word as fail in his
lexicon. 1t is a lively. absorb
ing story; but it isn't a real
Torchy story.
Our next SUNDAY MAGA-
ZINE seems to be The Real
Thing.

Pastors Preach on the Subject of
Labor in the Churches of the City
ALL SHOULD AID IN
BEARING OF BURDENS
Rev. Mcfarland Delivers Sermon in
Which He Pleads for More
Harmony.

Rev. e. T. Mcfarland OF the Memoir
ial Christian church took as his sub
ject yesterday morning, The Real
Social Builders" his text being Bear
Ye One Another's Burdens-So Full
fill the Law OF Christ" He then
brought out the fact that love towards
ones fellow men is the fulfilling Of the
law. In part he said:
The church as an institution is In
tended to answer the needs OF maa.
Many think that religion is empty be-
cause the church does not step in and
settle the social and political questions
OF the day. Twenty-four thousand
strikes and hold outs in the last 20
years is a confession Of social failure.
The time has come for the church
to take an active part in settling these
questions. Because of the greed for
money, the control of industries by
monopolies and the large number of
foreigners who have no knowledge of
this government there is bound to be
class feeling and discomfort. 1t is my
hope that the church will instill in the
hearts of men a feeling of sympathy
and brotherly love; that the spirit of
God in them will settle these prob
lens"

RED CROSS SEAL
CAMPAIGN OPENS
National Office in WashingtOn-Plan
to Sell 100000, OOO-$3OO,OO
Realized Last Year.

If expectations for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals this year, as
announced by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF Tu-
berculosis, are realized, one hundred
million of the holiday stickers or
million dollars worth, will be sold.
The National tuberculosis associa-
ton will this year for the first time
be national agent for the American
Red Cross in handling the sale of
seals. A new national Office has been
opened in Washington, and an initial
order has been placed for 50,000,000
seals, although it is expected that
double that number will be sold The
charge to local agents for the seals
will be 1914 per cent of the gross
proceeds, the national agent furnish
ing the seals and advertising material,
and taking back all unsold seals at
the end of the season.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
approved of the design of the seal.
Owing to the fact that many people
last year used Red Cross seals for
postage. the postoffice department has
given orders that letters or packages
bearing seals on the face will not be
carried through the mails.
This will be the third year that the
seals have been sold on a national
basis. In 1908 over $4,000 was real
lied from the sale; in 1909. nearly
$225,000; and iq 1910 nearly .$310,0
The slogan for this years sale is "A
Million for tuberculosis from Red
Cross seals"
New York state led the sale last
year with 5,955.S72 seals. Ohio coming
next with 3,743,427, and Wisconsin
third with 2,770,112 In addition to
these, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, California and
Rhode Island sold over a million each.
Nashville, Tenn, selling 100000 was
the only city receiving over 100000
seals which sold every one of them.

HONOR To WORKER
Rev. Newland in Sermon Says
They Have Been Leaders
of Great Movements.
THE CHURCH NEEDS THEM
And They Need the Church for 1.-The
Industrial Question Is a Re-
ligious One"

Rev. T. E. Newland of the First
Methodist church took as his theme
yesterday "A Master Mechanics Re-
ligion." He brought out the fact that
Jesus Christ, the carpenter of Naz-
areth, was a working man and gave
dignity to working life. He then
went on to say in part: Every true
man that tolls in life is a benefactor,
a creator and a partner of God.
Gladstone said, all great move
ments for the development of the
race have sprung from the common
people, they are the makers of his
tory Edward Markham said-T be-
lieve the industrial question is a re-
Iigious question. believe that
everything that has to do with the
welfare of men in politics and in in
dustry is religious at the bottom
want to applaud that sentiment
coming from one who is the recog-
nized friend of the laboring man"
WOULD BETTER CONDITIONS.
In taking up the industrial con-
ditions of today" the speaker said,
the labOring man should have bet
ter opportunities for his children,
better hours for labor and better
wages for honest toll. 1 would re-
duce the hours of labor to a mini
mum consistent with efficient work
and 1 would raise the wages to a
maximum consistent with a fair
profit. 1 would give the laboring
man a half holiday every week the
year round. Then the laboring man
would have no excuse to absent him
self from church on the Sabbath.
Then We have the question as to
what the laboring man would do
with this holiday and with the ad-
ditional wages. Only as a man is.
bigger and better than his hours and
wages, only as his contentment is
rooted in the knowledge that he is
fulfilling the purpose for which God
made him, will true satisfaction in
life be his.
CHURCH NEEDS MEN.
This was the spirit of that mas
ter mechanic of that other day. The
need of the church is for clean
handed, noble-souled, generous
hearted brotherly men who will seek
to understand the needs and condi-
lions of the workingman, and what
the labor organization needs is the
same sort of men who will not criti-
cize the church for its weaknesses,
but sympathize with it's purpose;
who will help what is good in it
and blot out what is bad. We need
a better spirit of liberation in the
church and the labor union as well.
We need a nobler spirit of coopera-
ton, each working for that which
makes for peace and good will to-
ward men"

So Says Rev. Marquis in In
teresting Sermon at Broad
way Presbyterian.
CAPITALIST A STEWARD
Part Of His Money Belongs TO the
Men Who Earn 1t for Him-La-
borer Worth His Hire.

At the morning service at the
Broadway Presbyterian church yester-
lay, Rev. ". S. Marquis gave an inter
esting talk on the message OF Christ
to the capitalist or the employer. In
the evening his topic was on ChriscS
message to the laboring man himself
A cutting of the morning sermon fol
lows:
Jesus of Nazareth whom the world
honors as its great spiritual teacher
and saviour was carpenters son, and
wrought at the trade. He made his
bread in the ranks OF the worlds work
ers. This takes the false halo from
his head and reveals him as a real
man. 1t dignifies labor for all time 1t
pats Christ and his church into clos
est sympathy with the masses of men
Who are haTnessed to the mill of toll
When this laboring man was 80
years of age he laid down his tools and
Went out among men to deliver the
message of Gods love and salvation.
He did not discuss economic but spir-
itual questions. But the principles He
taught were meant to help men solve
all their problems.
WEALTH A TRUST.
His first word to employers ana
capitalists was, Wealth is a trust
Capital is not your personal posses
sion. God has entrusted you with it
as steward. He says Trade there
with until l come
"A second principle which Jesus
h., e YA1. .
Germ in business is not pronts but
the welfare of men. Capital has no
right to take it's profits out of stunted
children, overworked men, underpaid
women. 1t has no right for the sake
of gain to conduct any business which
fattens on mems vices, or does them
moral harm.
DESERVE GOOD PAY.
Jesus says again: The laborer is
worthy Of his hire That means a full
wage. prompt wage. just wage
More than that, it means that labor
which shares in producing should
share in the product. That there is a
partnership between capital and labor.
hat part OF the crop belongs to the
tenant who titled the farm, and part
Of the goods in the warehouse belongs
TO the men in the shop who made
them. The recognition of this partner
ship will go far toward solving all
questions about wages.
