colors, a New York beauty specialist
has her suit furnished entirely in pink
and advocates this shade and also a
cheerful yellow for wear and for sur

to restore the lines of youth.
AS a matter of fact, good many
women are affected by the colors they
wear, although some Of us are man
aging to get to the point where we
realize that we need not settle down
into sober blacks, grays and puppies
just because our hair is beginning to
show signs of gray.
Gray hair is an admirable color to
combine with certain colors, notably
the delicate shades of blue and pink,

of mature years need look kittenlsh If

into semi invalidism, even if an opera

CHURCH LIFE

CHURCH LIFE
When pastor il leaving charge
two questions should arise: l. Has the
pastor done his duty faithfully and in
the right spirit of desire to benefit his
people, and in loyalty to and dependence
on God? 2. Have the people done their
duty in similar spirit and manner, and
received the good intended for them?
II is easy to follow false ideals. The
pastor may fall into the delusion that all
y has to do IL to preach the doctrine
that pleases his people, and carry on his
work simply for the immediate result Of
attraction and entertainment, with =
view to popularity and financial gain.
But soon or later this policy would be
discreditsd. even by the people for
whose qualification he had followed it,
as experience has ever shown. And
what of his standing in the great day of
account? What of the state of those
who desired and encouraged his false
policy?
The psople, on the other hand, can ~
readily fall into the error of supposing
that all the preacher cares about is
money and an easy time; and that If
they will furnish him with plenty of the
former, and make light demands on his
time and powers, he will be quite well
pleased. There may b such men in the
Christian ministry; but We believe they
are few and the satisfaction is usually
only seeming, and the minister's manner
of treating the case but the result of
Christian love and patience, which
would rather encourage in hope Of i'm
provement than blame in justice.
Shall we not realize that, when God
sends any man, in Providence. to the
charge of the spiritual interest Of any
people, He intends and calls that man
to seek the salvation of all souls, and
the building up Of their personal life in
Him, and His kingdom in them? There
are limits to his powers and possibilities;
but his aim must be true and persistent,
and taken from the point of view Of his
own love and faith to God and man. and
the divine purpose which lies behind
them. But he may fill this conception,
and still the people fail to be benefited
in due measure. or even at all. They
NAV stand off from his work, because
of personal feeling in one direction or
another, or they may hear the word or
do the work in such spirit and way az
to disappoint both God and the preach
or, and cheat themselves out of the
blessings intended for them. What fol-
ly to miss the good for temporary graf
ification, to lose the birthright for Z
mess Of pottage!
Let US all study this problem, and re-
solve to follow the honest solution; to
accept the messages Of God in good
faith and gratitude to Him, and to live
them out day by day with all loyalty.
That way lie salvation, blessing. growth,
power for good, and eternal glory. The
opposite course leads to the opposite re-
suit. Can it be otherwise?

THE RURAL TEACHER
Bears Heavy Burden Of
Civilization.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


Lecturer National Farmers Union
With the new development OF rural
life. there comes the demand Tor IN
creased educational facilities and the
impulse Of universal education wnich
IL sweeping the country calls for In
telligent and consecrated leadership
in our rural schools. 1t 10 upon the
rural teacher that one of the heaviest
burdens of civilization falls. for not
only must he lay the foundation OF
education, but he must also instill In
to the pupils the real love for country
life, which will hold them on the
farm and help to stem the downward
tide.
In the city. the teacher is . cog In
the vast wheel Of educational machin-
cry; in the country he Is the wheel.
It is he who must mold the character.
inspire the ideals and shape the des-
tiny Of the farm boys and girls. and
II he is fitted by nature for the task,
not only will the results of his ef-
forts be reflected in the pupils, but
gradually the whole community Will
be leavened with q new ambition for
progress.
He can organize around the school
the main interests Of the boys and
girls and develop tho impulse for Co
operation. which in time will displace
the old competitive individualism and
make rural social life more congentA
and satisfying. The possibilities for
making the rural school the social
and economic center Of the commun'
ity are almost endless. and the facul-
ties Of the rural teacher may have
full play. for it will take all his time
and ingenuity II he attains the full
measure Of success.
Must BE Community Leader.
A noted college professor recently
said that three things are now re-
quired of a rural teacher. The first
requirement is that he muzr be strong
enough to establish himself as lead
er in the community in which he lives
and labors: second. that he must have
q good grasp on the organization and
management of the new and scientinc
farm school and, third, that he must
show expert ability in dealing with
the modern rural school curriculum.
II he lives up to the opportunities Of
fered him as a rur-l leader. he will
train boys and girls distinctly for
rural life. not only by giving them
the rudiments of agricultural training.
but by enabling them to see the at
tractive side of farm life. and.to real.
ize that it is scientific business. and
one of the most complex Of all pro-
LESSONS with opportunities as great
as those Of any other calling.
aschooi for Parents" Needed.
The duties OF the rural teacher are
more varied and complicated than
those OF the city teacher. and he some
hines has to include the parents in
directing his efforts for the best re-
suits. In communities where the old
er population is opposed to any de-
parture of the younger generation
from established customs in either
social or economic life, their cooper
alton can often be secured by calling
community meetings and instrucuns
the parents on matters OF community
interest. 1t is related that . success

PROTECTION AGAINST

Vienna, Austria, Aug. 5.-The Au-

took drastic measures to protect the
public against dealers charging ex-

was issued calling on producers, ware
house men and dealers to inform the
local authorities as to the stocks in
their possession. Any attempt to keep
secret the extent of the stocks or to
raise prices is to be punished by i'm
prisonment ranging from one month
to one year.
The church authorities have decided
to permit the performance of mar

being that an oath be taken that there
is no legal hindrance. Hundreds of

EIGHT CRUISERS IN
AMERICAN WATERS

New York. Aug. Eight cruisers
three German, three British and two
French are hovering somewhere off

ships have reported news of frag-

vessels were in American waters, but
no skipper was able to fix their posi-

The firing heard off the coast Of
Maine today may have marked the
first engagement between either the
German and English or the German and
French ships. The British cruisers
known to be in American waters are
the Berwick, Essex and Lancaster.
The German cruisers are the Dresden,

cruisers are the Condo and Descartes.
These vessels have been primarily
concerned of late in attempts to in
