THE LAWS DELAYS.

In New York a plan is on foot to
bring about a legislative investigation
/ OF the laws delays. Supreme Court
Justice w. o. Howard of Troy. who
endorses the plan, says;
There are too many laws, too many
courts, too many appeals, too many
technicalities. Nobody knows the law,
nobony can know the law. In these
days law library would fir a barn
The human mind cannot comprehend
such a mass of stuff. And it's bulk is
increasing at an appalling rate. Judges,
governors and legislators are working
at feverish pace. making law books.
Thousands Of thick volumes consti-

umes ought to contain all the laws OF
the state.
Five appellate courts are in session

and then in a few months urges its

The law should be firm and positive:

ORIGIN-PURPOSE OF MEN
AND RELIGION MOVEMENT
Something About the Great Undertaking. What
it Consists Of and Proposes to do

consists in accepting Christ Jesus as
the motto and not only in accepting
Him, but in going out and giving of
Him TO others.
Two key notes of the movement are
these, take and give.
The movement tries to point out
that no man can be good all by him
self. No matter how complete a Chris
tian one may be in other respects. no
matter if he belongs To a church. IL he
is not helping others to join he must
be classed as an Improbable servant.
This applies especially TO the man
without the church. Duty to his coun-
try, duty to his God, duty to his fell
lows, and duty to himself demand that
he shall enlist Guerilla warfare is
profitless. even by the best of guerillas.
But the poorest soldier who joins the
army and obeys orders is an import
ant factor in the campaign of right
eousness.
Real victories are always won by or
Sanized forces. The church of Jesus
Christ is the one organized force APP
pointed by Him for the salvation Of the
world. and history shows that all the
progress of the world during the last
eighteen centuries has depended upon
the church being loyal to his princi-
pies.
The church OF today must come to
realization of its tremendous power
II must boldly and intelligently teach
that there is no civic righteousness ex-
cept that based upon the principles OF
Jesus Christ.
The plan of campaign covers-a long
period OF years The first move is &c

The Men and Religion Forward
Movement began in 1910 when on the
eighteenth day of May there met in "a
hotel in New York city a body OF
Christian workers representing many
religious bodies. In August of the
same year another body of men met
i'm hotel in Niagara with the same
purpose of seeing If the men of the
churches could not be aroused to
greater interest i'm the work to which
they We're called.
Two questions We're proposed. How
can more men be brought into the
churches" and How can the men
now in the churches be aroused TO
greater activity"
These meetings led to many 9TH
ers at which those two questions were
thoroughly discussed. II was finally de-
cided TO start a campaign. This cam
paign has two purposes. first to find
out what can be done. and second to
point out how it can be done.
The movement does not propose TO
form any new organization. but to give
life and vigor to the organiza tons al
ready in the field IL was clearly evil
dent to the originators that the
churches were powerless before many
of the problems which confronted
them. With the vast majority of our
population, protesting Christians, we
confront social and moral conditions
which are well nigh intolerable. For
generations the forces of Christianity
have in vain tried TO alleviate the sur
roundings of our people. Temptations
TO crime and vice exist unrestrained on
every side. To the impact with which
Christianity throws itself against tho
forces Of evil there is. as things are al
present but little compelling force.
The promoters OF this movement are
persuaded that the fault lies in ths
fact that we have not yet lost that ire
mendous spiritual force which is lat
cnt in every man.
Within every man there is a spirit
ual force, an inward call to service. to
help his fellows which can and will
prompt every man TO make the most
Of himself. The promoters are con-
vnced that the only means of effect
ually arousing this spiritual force Is
by enlisting the men in the cause oil

beautiful generalities to offer. but is
