But strength is not the only thing
that it takes to make man. Ihere
must be also gentleness. It is not
enough to be just man; II Is also
necessary to be gentle man. Inc
true ideal of manhood is not, as some
seem to think, the loud mouthed, self
assertive. self-willed man, who thinks
first Of himself and is careless Of the
rights and feelings Of others Such an
ideal IS Of the street corner or the
prize ring. With many man strength
is only another name for roughness.
But rOughness, or coarseness, IS never
n sign Of strength, but Of weakness.
Gentleness is a proof Of strength, OF
confidence and a true reserve
power.
The truly strong man will combine
the strength of rock with the tender
ness of a woman. And God pity the
man who counts it weak and unmanly
to show sympathy and tenderness.
Spirit of Service.
The spirit Of service to others is also
a mark of real manhood. The criti-
cism is often heard that with all our
public enterprise and boosting projects,
we are in reality a selfish lot. 1 am

misery and bitter conflict in the war
stricken countries of the world, and
with all the distress that abounds here
at home, the call to our unselfish man
hood was never so great.
The world today needs multitudes Of
warm hearts and strong hands to save
1t from wreck and ruin. And to the
work OF serving and blessing others,
every true man will consecrate the
strength and power of his manhood.
He will be ready to Join in the battle

according to conscience and duty,
man simply cuts himself adrift from
ness and success.
ChrIse..-. Not Unhappy.
Is the Christian life an unhappy one.
1t is, I am free to say, the way some
people try to live it. As Sam Jones
once expressed it, Some folks have
about enough religion to make them
miserable"
Does the serious view of life and
duty take away from the pleasure OF
living? Some seem to think so. lay
no claim to being a model Christian
by any manner of means, yet think
/ have some slight conception of what
the Christian life is and what the de-
mands OF religion are. But, am sure
can go out tomorrow and enjoy a
game Of tennis or golf with as much
relish as the next man.
No; Christianity takes away no privi-
lege; it makes no unjust demands; II

good and right and helpful.

Y. VI. C. A. PLANS FOR
NEW EMPLOYMENT EFFORT.

The Y. NJ. c. A. will enter the en-
ployment field in new and larger ways,
believing it can permanently help the
problem as well as give it temporary
relief this winter. Leaders in its in
dustrial department have just been to-
gether, and have evolved the plan OF
cooperation between associations 10
Gated i'm lumber camps in Maine and
Wisconsin and those located in large
eastern cities where men are out ot
work. 1nterchanges, with car fares,

mining districts that will be called
upon TO cooperate.
Through ordinary methods associa-
lions of the country secured last year
%. 600 positions for men and boys,
Brooklyn leading in number with $500
and Chicago coming next with S4l5.
The industrial department, with ma
tiOnal scope, has instructed these city
associations to make larger efforts this
winter, and to cooperate more gener-
ally with churches and with municipal
agencies.
In the same industrial work $500
students of 100 colleges and technical
schools are serving $4,000 men and boys
weekly as industrial leaders. Besides
students young men are recruited from
the churches. Besides college students
at work, 5000 college graduates are as
sisting this industrial movement All
Of these agencies are now to be drafted
into this exchange employment plan.
Centers in distant Alberta and British
Columbia, in Minnesota and Michigan,
and in eastern cities and in Maine have
pledged to join the work.

than the car of Russia is head Of
the Russian church. Not Constantine
pie but Alexandria is the religious CEN
ter. the great educational and govern
ing seat, of the Sunnis. The quarrel
has many sides. but its chief feature
is over the religious standing Of de-
scendants of the prophet named Has
sian and Houssain. The Sunnis rejoice
and reject, the Shias mourn and accept.
Differences between Christians, or be-
tween Christians and Jews may be
compared to but DO not equal differ
ences between Sunnis and Shias in Is
lamism.
The Sunnis dwell in Turkey and the
Balkans, in Syria, Palestine and North
ern Egypt. With vast schools at Alex
andria, they have lately been mission
airy in spirit and have contended with
Christian missionaries for the religious
occupation of the vast Soudan. The
Shias dwell in Persia, India, the Far
East, southern Egypt and the regions
Of the SomaH in eastern Africa. The
only holy war that is possible because
of Turkeys troubles is from the H.
0000 Sunnis, not from all Islam
That may prove quite formidable
enough, but it is not a rising Of the
whole MOhammedan world. Even the
Sunnis have of late shown some slight
measure Of religious liberation.
