The greatest weakness of Christianity III
the past has been in the fact that it's adherents
have placed too great, almost exclusive, en-
phaais upon the individual and the future.
The Gospel Is just becoming understood as hav
ing large social Significance and Il present
emphasis. 1t is not enough by a great deal
that man should seek only the future saliva
ton of his soul This much more is requsr-
ed that he strive for the present good and
happiness of his fellows This very fact not
only justifes tho religious man in his parti~
that he shall do So
The real Christian lives not in cloistered Sc
clusion and occupies himself only with medi-
tation and prayer. He realizes that hi is q
part of the great world in which he moves
and debtor to that world to the extent of his
strength talents possessions and influence. If
he fails to occupy himself with matters that
concern the welfare OF his fellows he fails Of
his opportunity and obligation. We see no
reason why religious associations may not de-
clare themselves for principles which they be-
lieve promotiye of general good nor why they
should he forbidden TO give active support TO
such policies On the contrary we welcome the
day when the forces Of righteousness shaf no
longer remain in the background, because Of
A false and persistent notion that the realm
OF religion does not comprehend the sphere OF

day for the nation when men of Christian faith

4 WORD FROM WOODROW WILSON.

Governor ONeal Of Alabama, doesn't approve
a few thousand plain people who do however
in spite Of his opposition. His protest, voiced
before the conference of Governors at Spring
Lake. gave Woodrow Wilson opportunity of
suggesting one two mighty sensible things.
and that gives us the opportunity of endorsing
his statements
Governor Wilson uttered his confidence In
the sanity and patriotism of the people when
they have an opportunity To press themselves.
When O'Neal uttered his fear that the people
might initiate laws that were in violation Of
the Constitution. invading vested rights
and threatening PERSONAL liberty, Mr..
Wilson defended the record of the people in
tho matter of their votes, Said he Il nave
never known Of any instance where the vote
of the populace spoken of as A caprice"
We think Governor Wilson was right. We
believe that the nation is far safer in the hands
of the people than when Legislation is dictated
and determined by men whose political afala
tons are open 10 serious question and whose
motives are under suspicion II is this very
fart that has occasioned the unrest that is
widespread today, There can be no doubt
that there is a very prevalent suspicion against
the Legislative bodies Of our land The Senate
of the United Stnes has of la.e become the
most suspected body IN the world some
one has said. And WHY? Because the legis-
ative enactments Of recent years seem so con-
slstently to have favored certain special inter
ests that the people at large led to be
lieve that they find their inspiration at the
hands OF powerful Hobbies rather than in the
purpose to serve the interests of the masses
Whether the accusations be true not ia
another question. Al any rate, the suspicion
exists nd by so M lch our legislative
bodies discounted and the law brought into dis
repute II seems reasonable, il this be d
republican government, that the people should
have some recourse That recourse may be
found, when tho win of the people il persist
entity ignored or defed, in the initiative and
! referendum.
Personally We do not apprehend that there
would be much resort 70 these measures even
in the event of their adoption, for the reason
that with them ut the command OF the people
our representatives would be perhaps a bit
more careful in. disregarding the will Of the
masses in the making OF laws.
The leaders OF popular movements Will al
ways be branded demagogues. 1t is not
difficult to understand the reason aaJehind the
cry when one discovers the connections Of
those who utter it. But we fail to correctly
Interpret the temper OF the masses today
if such leadership does not result in victory
When strong men and true. like Woodrow
Wilson. who possess the entire confidence OF
the people, arise and rally them to a cause
the victory is assured.
The people are all powerful and NAV assert
their sovereignty when they unite in the sup

THE DAILY CHlT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

In the city OF Boston few weeks ags
happy wedding party ended abrupt,
in a funera1-nay, more, two funerals.
The automobile in which six OF the
guests were pursuing the bridal couple
| who were fleeing in another car turned
turtle. Two women were killed Instantly
The little bridesmaid died with the bou.
Quet which she had held during tho cere
| mony in one hand, and in the other the
| confetti with which she had planned &c
shower the bride and groom. A third
| woman was SO badly injured about the
spinal column that she may die or. worse
still. may live crippled for life.
Not SO very long ago in another city
the horses OF the bridal carriage were
frightened by the throwing Of old shoes
ana the bride was thrown out against a
tree and instantly killed.
These are two of the more striking and
terrible casualties resulting from our
pleasant way Of celebrating the knottine
of the nuptial tie, but every city in this
country annually furnishes to the news
columns Its quota OF similar, though
lesser. accidents.
Truly one Is tempted to cry out with
the prophet, How long, 0 Lord?''
NOW, L am not one of the reactionaries
VINO think that because Of these terrible
things all joliification at weddings should
cease.
On the contrary, 1t seems to me that
there is nothing prettier or more desir-
able than the truly sweet and pretty
wedding customs.
l love to go to a wedding where the
bride carries out all the Jolly little usa9es
that make for harmless fun
L think there is nothing more pleasantly
deadly to dtsagreeable stiffness and for
mality than the jolly custom Of havans

Wedding Favors.

The popularity Of tho little velvet or

with beautifully chosen colors-bright
ones or weary ones together only In
one bunch-has led to the fashion abroad
Of another sort Of little posy.
They are choosing punches of sweet
pretty these are and quite easy to make.
You get green-covered wire and a spirit
lamp. You burn one end OF the wire in
the flame and when red-hot you stick into
piece OF melted sugar, which hardens
and binds the stem to the flower.
Then you make wires for separate
petals ands coat them with sugar icing
and tint them. say. pink or white for
roses, mauve for violets, and use either
spinach colored icing or else angelica for
the leaves. Orange drops you heat and
roll in granulated sugar for centers OF
the flowers The devices may be very
numerous.
For instance. you may make tho dear
est little bunch of white sweetmeat snow
drops to lay by each plate. or one Of red
autumn berries. tiny dahlias. daisies
what not. Arrange a fiat bunch of pink
roses and It charmingly decorates a
birthday cake.
The greatest fun IL to have a different
flower to lay before each plate at din

confectioners may be pressed into the
service, and split, skinned Jordan al
monds make good petals: red comfits
may be adopted for pimpernels, and SO

and pop this into a little basket. and
to the handle fasten some violet flowers,
and you have q dainty little ornament

Beauty Secrets.

number Of girls, with q perfectly
natural desire to appear attractive at all
times and places, have asked whether a
touch Of rouge on the lips and the cheeks
would interfere with a nature course in
beauty culture.
It all depends on the rouge. There are
several perfectly pure and harmless rose
tints on the market, and their effect on
the skin is sometimes beneficial rather
than injurious. Nevertheless, beauty
seekers, it is better that you fcrego all
substitutes for the real until you are per-
suaded the real is impossible.
The reason is purely a mental one In
this case but do not undervalue its inn
portance because Of it's intangibility. Cor
rect mental attitudes, proper thought
stimulation, these are the motive powers
behind the material workings OF nature
Without them all progress would cease
and all movement would be backward.
No signal success comes unless it.is nfst
won in mind. BY applying rouge, one
acknowledges a doubt. fear, a sort OF
temporary defeat. The acknowledgment
of a defeat is equal to 1allure. Gong
after anything in half-hearted manner
increases the labor and travel necessary
to reach it, If you are going to become
q disciple Of nature, burn all bridges De
hind you and become real devotee. d.
vided energy is wasted energy,
The chances are that II you use a SUD
stifute for roses and scarlet lips while
waiting for nature to respond to your
course. you will never be satisfied with
her gifts. Natures flush is so deilcate, 30
sensitive so unobtrusive, that 1t can
never equal the more vivid oiusn o.oush NJ
on by applied color. And therein lies the
charm.
The finest artist in facial treatment can
never compete with nature. for the roses
of the counter are staid and STEADY. While
the roses of radiant health are shadowy:
TRANSPARENT. evanescent. They come ana
go with the thoughts and MOODS OF tIiell
Wearer, and rain. storm nor oampness
cannot dim their glow.
Powder is quite another story HIre
