Churches Feel Keenly
Their Responsibility.

Quite as pronounced was the
declaration made by the bishops of
the Methodist church at their re-
cent conference in Minneapolis
1t is an omen of good that the
Christian churches are coming to
feel more keenly, and to confess
more openly, the relat ion of ac-
countability in which they stand to
people in the everyday secular con-
Germs of life.
There are two directions in which
the churches have been in the
habit of expanding a disproportion-
ate amount of their thought and
effort to the neglect of common hui
man necessities-one in trying to
fit people for the world to come,
the other in deba ting the problems
of religion--it being forgotten, APP
parently, that if we are fit for this
world we shall certainly be fit for
the other, and that 1t is not the
conundrums of religion but its in
teligible practical applications that
best serve the purpose for which
religion exists.
Christianity, as Christ lived II
and taught it, seems to have had
its strongest hold upon those IL
humble circumstances, and to have
been less appealing to the educated
and we'll do.
While, on the other hand, Chris.
tianity, as it exhibits itself at pres
ent in the more conspicuous Prot.
estant churches. addresses itself
with more effect to the classes that
were least affected by Christ's
presentation of it.
Which shows that there is some-
thing in the situation that is fun
damentally wrong.
II is therefore pleasant to obs
serve that the thought of the
church. as expressed in the two
conventions just mentioned, is Civ
ing a wider expansion to its inter-
ests and sympathies and taking
upon itself the concerns, burdens
and deprivations of men without
regard to social distinction

How the Rent Might Have
Been Prevented

II this had been done sooner, and
if Christianity had continued to
have given to it it's original inter-
probation, the rent between Hhe
classes and the masses might have
been avoided, society have main
tanned its proper solidity, with no
destructive competition to sharpen
the voracity of the rich or to in
tensify the bitterness of the poor.
The serious question is whether
there yet remains enough of the
pure spirit Of Christianity to put
the church back into its original
relation with the wants of the COM
mon people

employed for wireless telephony.
The new aerophone is described
as being astonishingly compact
The sender consists of a small box
containing battery, motor and
transmitter, which anybody can
carry about with him. The receiver
is equally simple and compact The
one stands for the electro mag
netic voice imagined by Professor
Ayrton. the other for the electro
magnetic ear"
Everybody must rejoice at this
news. but there is no reason to be
sstonished by it, 1t was inevitable.

got so close TO some of natures
greatest secrets that the real Won
der would be failure to get into
the very heart of them. They cease
to be mysterious as soon as they
are gra sped. The steam engine
was. a wonder only while II was
new; wireless telegrap ply no longer
astonishes anybody; in little
while wireless telephony talking
with our friends, transmitting our
wishes and our orders by means Of
ethereal waves. hundreds of miles.
as We now transmit them a few
yards by means Of air waves-may
be so common a method of COM
munication that nobody will see
anything surprising in it, IT sim
ply means taking away the wires
of the telephone and talking
through space, Just as we have dis
earded telegraph wires and begun
to send signals. dots and dashes
through the air.

a means which a great many people
in the harder places of life are
using in their contention against

those who bear the Christian name

Atlanta which wishes discourage brutality

If YOU feel that you your child satisfy your

whipped my small boy day, and whether you believe
actually did hurt than hurt him That night
went up asleep He had had his whipping Just

Try the experiment going upstairs see your asleep
BEFORE instead of after giving beating If there any
thing good YOU sight a sleeping child

You will in that sleeping face YOUR OWN FACE MODI-

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHILD AND ALL IT'S
SHORTCOMINGS
Those that know about education tell you and
that beating child brutal and useless 1t breaks chids

the child a hypocre and liar
You live in which no longer beats convcs unruy

What horrible thing to fill the young mind with fear with

ing with astonishing rapidity II the
reports OF what has recently been
done in England may be accepted.
The "aerophone" of Mr. ii. Grin
dell Matthews transmits human
speech over a distance Of twelve
miles. 1t IS no longer a question
of simply sending signals which
have to be translated into intelli-
gible language, but THE VOICE
ITSELF GOES. and is heard with
all its intonations by the recipient.
Thus Professor Ayrtou's scientific
dream is partly realized The voice
may al least be heard at the bot
tom of coal mine, though it can
not yet reach the summit of the
Andes, or the middle of the Pacific
ocean.

vances in wireless tclegraphy. and

About -four years after that
prophecy was made the world was
ringing with the news of the trans
mission of wireless messages across
hundreds of miles of sea Soon
they were sent half across the
ocean then all the way across.
The electro magnetic voice and the
electro magnetic car had begun to
enter into the domain of human
consciousness. Everybody knows
