Two Notes of Warnina.

The retiring moderator of the Presby-
terrain general assembly, DR.. j. F. Car
son of Brooklyn. in his address before
the assembly called attention to the
fact that of the 10,051 Presbyterian
churches in the country there were last
year 3,739, or 81 per cent. that report
Cd no additions on confession Of faith.
Certainly this fact. though doubtless
to be paralleled in all other denomina-
lions, is not creditable, and there is
every reason why our Christian En-
deavor societies are right In insisting
upon evangelistic training Of the young
people and in seeking to promote In
many ways a zeal for personal evan
gelistic work. This is one Of the points
upon which emphasis is laid in the
efficiency campaign.
Another matter which Christian En-
deavor has emphasized from the be-
ginning is urged in DIR. Carson's ad.
dress, namely, that the church itself
should be made central, and that all
our Christian activities should lead to
fits support and advancement. 1.-THE

ments that IL is lost sight of, except
when criticised for failure to support

church itself have right of way. Let
churchmen. who in zeal and devotion
are promoting so many movements, con-
centrate their thought and energy upon
the churches with which they are con-
nected and work through these church
es and the results will justify and re-
ward the concentration of their inter-
est and energy"

FOR GOOD ROADS.

Maine Auto Association Appeals For
Bond Issue.
On every side the good roads bond issue
amendment, which is to be voted upon
next Monday, is receiving the commenda-
ton Of public officials OF the State ~ well
as OF men in every walk Of life. The opin-
ion Ia expressed that it's good effect will
be especially noticeable in farming com
munities and small villages, as 1t will
open up to the tremendous summer tourist
business, sections which have been out OF
reach OF this immensely profitable traffic,
owing mainly to bad roads.
Gov. Plaisted has emphatically endorsed
the bond issue proposition, and is preach
ing it everywhere he speaks. Mr. Haines,
republican candidate for governor, has
come out fatfooted for the plan, and Is
likewise talking ii throughout the State.
Both Chairman Phiibrook, OF the re-
publican State committee, and Chairman
j. 3. p. IL. Wilson, Of the democratic
State committee have come out strongly
in favor of the bond issue, and have
written public statements to this effect.
Chairman Philbrook says: $50 far as |
have interviewed voters in Maine, there
seems TO be widespread endorsement OF
the Nelson bond issue, so-cailed, for
! financing road Improvements. Personality
believe that this sentiment should he re-
speeted; that the question should have no
political signiacancs or iisaiiation, and
that the interest OF the farming COM
munities OF Maine would be greatly
advanced by the improvement Of our
highways"
Chairman Wilson OF the democratic
Stlte committee, in statement regarding
the proposed bond issue plan, says: II
wish to say that l heartily believe in the
proposition, and sincerely hope that the
people OF Maine viii rstity the new
amendment. We need good roads. We
need good roads at the smallest cost. We
should have them in the quickest way,
the surest one, and at the smallest cost"
President Charles o. Beals. of the Maine
State federation of labor says: al be-
lieve it will go long way in the upbuiid.
ing OF our State, and 30 be q direct
benefit to all classes"
Judge Frederick A. Powers SAYS: al am
heartily in favor OF the proposed good
roads amendment to the consultation.
There is no politics in it. The measure
will benefit every section OF the State and
is for the interest OF all the people of
Maine"
These are but few OF the expressions
which have been received from every Sec
ton OF the State. The fact that the
money is to be equitabIy distributed
among all the counties OF the State, aud
that the bond issue is to be financed en-
tirely by the automobile tar, and without
cent OF extra taxation upon the State, is
considered one of its most desirable fea-
lures.
The good roads advocates OF Maine now
number many thousands, and their ranks
are being swetled daily by hundreds of
others from all sections Of the State.

CHRISTIAN EKOEAVOR.
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beainniro Sept. 8 1912

Topic.-why and how to improve the
mInd. Prov. TX. l-lL school and college
meetingl Edited by Rev. Sherman III.
Doyle, D. d.
Within a few weeks nearly 2o,000,000
of boys ami girls and young men and
young women in the United States will
be at school engaged in study. Thou
sands of teachers and professors will
be busily employed in their professions
and millions of dollars will be expend-
ed upon tie subject of education.
Nothing further Is needed to demon
strate the importance attached to the
Improvement of the mind. 1t must be
considered Of vital importance or no
such an army of students would be en-
rolled in public and private schools at
such a tremendous expense In time, en-
ergy and money.
Furthermore, the relationship that
has always existed between religion
and education emphasizes the impor-
lance of improving the mind Educa-
ton has always been the handmaiden
of the true religion. The first place of
instruction among the chosen people OF
God was the home. and the first teach
ers were the parents. The first free
schools in the history of the world
were established among Gods chosen
people by the prophet Samuel in the
time of the judges. In connection with
every Jewish synagogue there was
school. and Christ's great commission
to his apostles was to teach" Go ye
therefore and teach all nations
teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever | have commanded you"
The great Christian denominations of
the world today have their academies,
colleges. universities and theological
seminaries. Education should never be
divorced from religion. Even in our
public schools the Bible should be
taught-its history and poetry and BIZ
ography taught just as other history,
poetry and biography are taught. The
American nation is a Christian nation.
American people believe that the Bible
Is the word of God. and it is a shame
and disgrace that the Bible does not
lOflu part VI Tue ieEuiak NVuf~t VI
study in every sehoolhouse over which
floats the American flag. Nor in our
public schools should any theories of
science or philosophy be taught that
are purely materialistic, that leave
God out CT his creation or that cast re
Election upon the inspired teachings of
the Word of God.
The mind can only be best improved
by a regular course at an educational
institution. The best results can only
be obtained under the direction of
trained and prepared teachers Young
people should make no mistake here.
There may be many ways Of improving
the mind. and some people may have
become well educated outside of the
schoolroom, but for the average per-
son the only sure way of getting an
education is to attend school School
days, unless through necessity, should
never be shortened. No one can be too
well educated to enjoy life. to perform
best the work of life and to 'loye the
Lord their God, with all their mind"

That through the distance we must loose the

OF hand with hand, and only clasp the thread
OF memory. But stiil so close we feel this

So sure are we that these same hearts are true.
