OXFORD STICKS TO GREEK

Humanity is not dead after all. Ok
ford sticks to Greek 1t is a great vic
tory for the Hellenists, for 1t was con
gregation and not convocation which
declined to make Greek optional for

WANT BARGAINS IN PEWS
Thrifty church-Goers Who Seek Cut
Rates Sometimes Will Overlook
All Other Considerations.

Ministers have so many things to
worry about that 1t is pretty hard to
add the bargain-hunting habits OF
their parishioners to their other cares.
but some of them are doomed to shout
der that extra burden. Old members
Of the congregation are not likely to
60 out hunting cut-rate pews in other
churches, but newcomers who ere Just
deciding upon church home all do it.
"A reduction of two dollars year
in pew rent will fetch the bargain
hunter every time," said a sexton.
"Only last week a young woman who

concluded that Of all city churches OF
this denomination she liked ours best
and would take a pew here, but when
she found she could get pew that

Is a recognized feature of modern
church life. Because new member
elects to join our congregation does
not at all signify that he shares our

we charge less for the pew he likes

Children and Money.

MY father was a minister with six
children, says writer In the Christian
Herald. My mother was ready to en-
ter college with her brothers before
the day of the woman's college. Now
that I have children of my own, am
thankful for the thoughtful training
which we six children had. We each
had a small allowance, and at the
close of the year, II in our homemade
diaries we could show balance In
our favor, the amount Of money we
had saved was doubled and placed to
our account in the savings bank. We
then became the proud possessors Of
bank book. The habit Of saving. with
wise supervision to prevent miserli.
ness, makes all the difference between
plenty and want In later years.

THEY FAD TO Be SCOLDED
Teacher Made Chinese Boys Fight,
That Being Only Fault She Knew
How to Correct

The doctor who tried to throw all
his patients into fits because that was
the only thing he knew how to cure,
has his counterpart in the young Sun
day-school teacher who was trans
ferred to the Chinese quarter from
an Irish neighborhood where fighting
was about the only original sin she
had been called upon to rebuke. All
the formulas warranted to Stay the
fight microbes were known to her, but
since Chinese boys have yet to learn
that fists were made to fight with her
one accomplishment lay fallow. Each
lad, she was positive, was reeking
with subtle Oriental wickedpess, but
that was much harder to tackle than
the rampant Irish-American variety
she had been used to. At laet she
managed to stir up real f., at be-
tween two Chinese youths, but before
much damage had been done tho mis-

But what could l do?" she said,
helplessly. Il just had to let them
fight. They all needed to be scolded
for something, and that is the only
