Church Is Attacked.

The prophetic call to the church is
summons to frank and fearless facing
of actual conditions. The temper of
criticism is. alert in our day, and the
church seems to be the special object Of
it's attack. We are told that it has lost
its hold upon the life of today. / would
remind you that such things have been
said about the church in every age. But,
despite all the criticism, the church
abides and today stands forth with as
fine and fair a front to her work, with as
genuine and generous an enthusiasm for
her work she ever had.
Yet there are conditions in church life
and work that call for serious considera-
ton. The tone of religious life needs
STRENGTHENING. If what we see on the
surface is true to fact there are many
who keep up the outward semblance
while the fire has gone out on the inner
altar. <.-
The prophetic call to the church is
for deeper and more genuine Christian
living: for more of the religious home
life, with it's family altar, it's Bible and
it's psalm; for more religious training OF
the child in the knowledge of the Scrip
lures and in the love of God, for more
emphasis upon the church as the center
of religious worship, more faithfur
attendance upon the public services OF
the sanctuary and upon the meetings for
social prayer.

THE FIRST AND THE
LATEST ADVERTISEMENT.

Thirty-seven years ago last Deem
Der, The Nation. of New York, pub
lished a full-page advertisement OF
The Type-Wrifer."
I have copied the word just a. the
advertisement reproduced il. hyphen,
capital Wv" and all, and quoted at
that.
That was about the first serious adj
vertisement ever issued of the great
line OF writing machines now known
as Remington Typewriters.
Let us see how il looks.
In the first place. there was a big
picture,-an oldfashioned wood cut
of what some OF US will remember
as the Number One Remington.
And there is sure CROUCH family
Likeness TO the reigning King Reming-
ton XI.
Blu, wha. do they say abou, it9
In the first place, " 1t is the size
OF sewing machine"
How little the writer knew how
many women would be emaneipatcd
from the slavery OF the sewing ma
chine by the Remington and its broth
crs.
Then.-"It IS an ornamen, to \
sitting room" Shades OF the irnmor-
tai Mercury. what an altogether
placid view OF the subject tina, was!
Can anyone imagine a Remington
OF today being content 20 be an or
nament of sitting room, or even Of
an Office!
Again, il pleads with Charitable
persons interested in the subject of
work for women " TO invest in these
machines and Sc, women up in bust
ness as copyists and correspondents.
do not know how many charitable
persons were won by this plaintive
appeal, but | do know that vigorous
women soon heard OF the Remington
and its open door to profitable work
and independence. and without the aid
Of charity found a way 20 start in
business.
How the wheels have gone round
since that advertisement was written
But now a contrast, as sharp a con-
trast as one can imagine.

Fine Entertainment

A most picturesque and highl y
interesting orchestra was Muscanto' S
Russian Orchestra, which opened the
sland Pond Entertainment Course
on Thursday evening Nov. 14th.
Muscanto himself, though a quiet
leader, showed marked powers of
dictatorship, wonderfully responded
to by each artist under him.
One in the audience was heard tc
remark, eve never had better music
every one of them artists" Judging
from the applause, this seemed to be
the sentiment of the entire audience,
Each deserves special mention for the
mastery of their instrument, and the
intensity of their playing.
The Orchestra was assisted by
Miss Meodora Haakellm, soloist,
who delighted everyone by her admir-
able singing Having a rich voice
of marked fexibility, supplemented
by very distinct enunciation, she
won generous applause. The entire
program deserves great comment,
and gave entire satisfaction.
The next entertainer will be Miss
Gladys Dodge, at the Opera Hall
December 81.

NEVER HEARD OF HEAVEN
John and Joseph Shake Their Heads
When Questioned by Judge in
New York Court.

New York.-Rabbi Harris Platkin,
who has one synagogue in Grand
street, Brooklyn, and two in Manhat-
ton, appeared in the children's court
to press charges of malicious mischief
against two young brothers. one aged
thirteen years and the other ten. The
elder Of the two, John Waitukartis,
was found guilty. Little Joseph was
allowed to go home. John will be pa
loled.
The rabbi alleged that the two boys
threw bricks at him and struck him in
the head with one OF them. and called
him names.
Judge Ryan, when examining the
boys, asked them If they had ever
heard Of God or heaven. John and
Joseph, IN spite of their biblical
names, shook their heads.

Love by Wireless Anaers Uncle Sam

Newport, r. 1.-The latest thing to
retard official wireless communication
Of the naval torpedo station and ships
of the Atlantic feet is the large num-
Der of messages from girls smitten by
the manly jack tars of the big ships.
These maidens, living in Boston and
other large cities along the coast, send
the most trivial messages to their sea-
faring friends. One of the most ardent
messages intercepted here was from
Sweetheart Maggie" to Darling
jack" in which Jack was implored to
come to Boston as soon as he could
because Maggies heart was ''iust
melting away" for him and he hadn't
kissed her for SO long her "lips were
dry"
Captain Williams. commanding the
torpedo station, has incorporated many
of the messages in report.
