Often 1 hear men say: "So-and-
so hasn't any religion" and 1 won
der what they mean by the express
sion.
Now, religion is 1.-The outward
act or form by which men indicate
their recognition Of the existence of
a God"
So far as 1 can recall at present,
there isn't man of my acquaint-
ance who does not show, by word
or deed, that he recognizes the exist
ence OF God. So that, to that ex-
tent at least, all men Of my ac-
quaintance have religion.
But IL these critics mean by their
sighting expression that So-and-so
does not, in word and deed, portray
the perfect religion of Jesus Christ,
then 1 will agree with them most
heartily, for ] could not name three
men and women whom 1 believe to
be absolutely consistent Christians.
All of the Christian religion is
contained in four words: Love
God; love one another" You can
add nothing to that. That Is all
Christ taught.
l suppose all Christians love God,
but practically all Of them fall down
on the latter half of the teaching.
In a sense I love everybody. That
Is, I don't hate anybody bad enough
to want to injure him. But there
are some people that l love better
and better as they get further and
further away from me and 1 suspect
you are in about the same fix. 1
haven't bit Of Christian charity
when 1t comes to considering the
case Of the liar and the dead-beat
and the sneak-thief.
Once upon a time Christ talked to
morally clean young man, and said
to him: "If thou wouldst be per
feet, go and sell what thou hast
and give to the poor, and come and
follow me-"
III tnere are any perfect Christ
ians in this section, wish thew
would come in and let me publish
OF their names! want to ses lust
one perfect human before I die, any
way. .. .n -
There are many near Christians
IN this town. They are assured OF a
better world than this one after
crossing the valley: they find a
peace right here that money couldn t
buy; they take Christ ss a partner In
their business; they actually love
Him as g friend who underTaads
and helps and they are so well salts
ned with His love and His good will.
that tAey don't care a whcop In a
rain barrel what anybody else thinks
OF their religion" or lack OF it.
And II that kind of religion is
good for a ticket into glory, 1
reckon it's good enough as a sched-
ule of living in this vain world.

BEWARE OF THIS POTATO
AND EGG MERCHANT

Grating seems to be more popular
than working with certain class of
gentry this winter. This is how the
game is worked. A red-faced, sandy
haired man walked up to a house in
Hallowell yesterday and rang the bell.
The lady of the house answered the
summons
Is this the lady of the house? Is
the boss at home?a
Yes and no." replied the lady of the
house.
We'll. the boss man told me to come
and see you about those potatoes and
apples"
I'VE don't need any,"
''Well, how about some nice, fresh
eggs?"
How much are they? parted the
lady of the house
Fifty cents Dozen"
well. I'll take a Dozen" and the
lady Of the house departed for her
pocketbook. counted over the change
and fished out so cents.
Its lucky you have the change
said the egg salesman. 'for ! haven't
any"
Il have only the SO cents in change
volunteered the lady of the house.
Then the egg salesman frightened up
III tell you what I'll do. I've got two
dozen and two eggs and If you'll take
'em all I'll sell them for 90 cents"
"All right" said the lady of the
house. producing five-dollar bill. "I1l
take them ALL"
The man grabbed the bill with aIac.
rity and started down the steps. THE
wagons just around the corner and III
get the change from my brother who's
holding the horses"
We'll. suppose you let me hold the
five-dollar bill while you do it, said
the lady Of the house, coming suddenly
to life.
The bill was reluctantly brought back
and the egg salesman departed "to get
the change" He hasn't come back vet
Now of course he may have had a
wagon around the corner. but
MORAL: When the salesman goes
around the corner to change bill YOU
hold the bill.

ink had given out before he had got
that far.

to the Complainant and the
Case Is Continued for SEN
tence-Other Court Matters.

The inability of Alden Sturgis to
initiate his fathers signature landed
Alden In the municipal court room
Tuesday morning and came very near
getting him into serious trouble, but
owing to the forgiving spirit Of the
elder s;turgis, Alden is still able to
breath the air of freedom. The cause
of whatever inconvenience Alden
brought upon himself was the fact that
he drew a check for SO payable to
himself and signed to it his father
name. &C. E. Sturgis." He then went
to the store of Solomon Baitler and
bought pair of shoes. rendering the
check, which he had endorsed, in pay

JAP. AMBASSADOR
and BRYAN CONFER
Discussion Was Over Propo-
sition to Establish Neutral
Zone in China.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Baron
Chinda, Japanese ambassador to the
United States, and Secretary Bryan
held a short conference today, the
details of which are kept secret by
both officials. After the conference,
however, it was stated that nothing
was known here concerning the re-
reported pans of Japan to declare
war on either Germany or China. 1t
is understood that today's conference
dealt with the general proposition
made by this government several days
ago looking to the establishment of
a neutral zone in China in accord
ance with agreement by the various
powers for the preservation Of China's
territorial integrity.
The question of naturalization in
wolves the spheres of influence in
China of France, England, Germany,
Portugal, Russia and Japan.
Officials are certain that Japan will
respond promptly to her alliance with
Great Britain. and that she would not
hesitate to declare war on China
should she fail to main strict neu-
trality. War upon Germany's ships
and holdings in the Orient may also
follow.
