Oil Drives Out Coal.

California has reached a place where
1t doesn't care rap for the coal trust.
1t is not worrying about the time, a
few thousand years hence, when the
coal supply will have been exhausted
and the barons will have filled the holes
with gold dollars. Coal Age" tells us
that on account of the large production
of petroleum in the Golden State, and
its use as fuel, coal mining has practi-
cally ceased in that State. According
to the U. S. Geological Survey, the pro-
duction of coal in the last two years
has been only 1o,747 tons in 1911, and
1898 tons in 1912.
The production of petroleum in Cali
fornia in 1912 was Sc, 450767 bbl., of
which rot less than 50,00O,00 bbl was
used directly for fuel Large quanti-
ties of oil were also used in place OF
coal for gas making. and on the esti-
mate of 1-2 bbl of petroleum being
equivalent to 1 ton of ordinary btu
minous coal, 1t is probable that from
100000 to 100000 tons of coal would
be required to perform in California the
service now rendered by petroleum in
the production of heat, light and pow
CT.
There is still, however, some demand
for coal in California, particularly for
domestic use and for the bunker trade
at San Francisco. but this is almost ex-
clusively supplied by coal from other
States or from abroad.

READING to the Children.

Are there any fathers lett VINO gain
er the family around them on sundays
and read aloud passages from the BIZ
BILE or the poets or from some Dook
that thrills with inspiration? Children
who get their only religious instruc-
ton from Sunday school and their
literary ideals from "thrillers" miss
something that counted for good
deal in the lives of their parents.
Baltimore Sun.
1t has always been so. Old bachel-
ors and old maids seeing children only
when they are idling or playing, jump
to the conclusion that idling and play
is all they do. They remember when
their parents read to them from the
.'Bible Stories" and good books of the
time, and forget that the old maids
and bachelors of their childhood days
wondered if there was any religious
training like that of the good old
days"
Cheer up, brother. We are young
and can remember when we had to
listen while our parents read the stor-
les from the Bible and then while old
fogies talked of the lack of religious
training in the homes. 1t is probably
the same today.--Richmond Virginian.,
There is another side to be consid-
cred. We know family of not exact
ly ancient presence, whose head made
a compact with the children that each
member of the family should take q
turn at reading, and that each read
er should select his subject from the
material available in the home. 1t was
also agreed that each topic should be
discussed after the reading and ques-
tions asked and solutions worked out
together. In this manner the Bible
came in for its share of reading and
of such selections as excited active
interest in, and eager questions by,
the children. The Bible study thus
became not dry, faraway and intang-
ible thing, but vital, present and
charming development of life and his
tory, that almost entirely eelipsed
fairy stories and other fiction.
1t is not WHAT one reads TO the
children that counts, but the WAY it
is presented and commented upon in
an aside as the reader proceeds. Read
ing aloud is always to be commended,
anyway

The Future of the Church.

Something's convictions are reach
ed through indigestion and sometimes
by way of the keen enjoyment of liv-
ing. In the New York Evangelist we
find:
I'VE are not unduly pessimistic, but
we cannot fail to see that the Church
Is losing its hold upon many, both
among the masses and among the cul-
tured of the world. One thing is GER
tain: Unless we who are its bishops,
priests, and ministers magnify it be-
fere the people we shall lose increas-
ing numbers. For many great and
powerful organizations are asking the
allegiance of the people, and making
great claims for themselves. None of
them can make the claims the Church
can; but that does not matter, so long
as they make their lesser claims and
the Church makes none. We believe
that all that is necessary to win the
love and alteration and service of the
great majorities of our communities,
both of young and old, is to simply
tell them the truth about her SO that
every soul in the community shall
know, and, before the non -churchgo-
ing community, TO make those claims
one has absolute right to make for the
Christian Church. Make just the
claims Paul made, namely, that Jesus
Christ diyinely instituted the Church
TO be his representative in the world
and impaired to it all the powers he
himself exercised upon earth, includ-
ing the forgiveness OF sins, the saliva
tion Of souls, and the giving of eternal
life. He appointed the Church to be
what he was. say what he said, do
what he did, and to continue to effect
what he accomplished"
Rev. Herbert A. Jump in the Con-
gregationalist quotes Novelist Winston
Churchill extensively concerning the
future OF the church. He writes:
Mr.. Churchill is boldly an optimist
with respect to the Church. Laugh
ingly he admitted that his story con-
cluded before 1t was time to report
on the final outcome of John Holders
experiment. That is where we novel
lists have the advantage over you

Daily Rum Traffic Insult.

Indignant citizens who receive IL
quor advertising with their letters
have been guilty, we are told, of plot
ting to get square for the insult. The
plan is for parties addressed to or
der the stuff, C. o. D., or otherwise
taking UP with the trial orders, then
notify the officers to be on the watch
for it. The worst difficulty is the pub
licity. they say, for few respectable
people like to be known as having
ordered booze"
Funny. isn't it? A traffic that has
SO many friends who are constantly
fighting for it, brings shame to the
cheeks of respectable people to have
their names mentioned In connection
with it. Pretty good evidence, isn't
it, that it is a shady business?
1t is evident that some of the ad-
vertising wings of the rum trust have
been pinched. for they are now send
ing to parties we'll known in commune
ties, and offering to charge to their
accounts. A batch of postal card Of
fers was distributed in the mails of
Augusta on Tuesday, some of them
manifestly for the purpose of insult
to those actively engaged in opposing
the liquor evil. These names are un-
doubtedly sent out by local parties
with considerable care as to RESPONSE
bility of the people, and their exact
addresses. The return card order does
not even require signature as letters
and figures affixed identify the name
of prospective customer. Following
is copy of the filled out order card,
minus the name of the poison:
You may send me four quarts of
that high brow beverage. Prepay
express and charge my account S. Is
payable in 80 days am very exact
ing in matters OF this nature and
fully expect to return the shipment
unless 1t comes fully up to your war
ranty in all respects. If ! return II

don't need my signature to this card

The HWiId Oats" Lie.

Health Culture credited to DR.. James
Freeman:
The Lie of the Wild oats is
based upon the misapplicatlon Oh
the theory of a separate standard
for men and women. The young
man may SOW wild oats, but the
young woman must not. The sow

of the other. What made the pros

supports them? What keeps the
supply equal to the demand?
