Teacher Saves Her Pupils

From the New York Sun.
 Washington, Pa.-AIiss Grace Jones, teacher of country school near here. risked her life when a young man of the neighborhood, said to be demented, rushed into the schoolroom waving a big corn cutter about his head and declared he was going to kill the teacher and every pupil in the room. The girl, after a ter rible half hour. succeeded in forcing the madman from the room and locking the door upon him.

with joining the church, accepting cer- tain doctrines and refraining from con- duct which is supposed to be incon- sistent with such profession, being ready to defend our doctrines and some times giving of our means to the en- terprises of the church. We habitually call such persons consistent church members
 "A Fundamental law of all life is that normal growth is secure through proper functioning. Thus love grows through doing the things which love prompts. Character grows through do- ing the things that Character was in- tended for. And so Chrst-like charac- ter grows through doing Christ-like deeds. If the great mass of Christians could be brought out of the passive into the active conception of Christi anity most of our problems would be easy of solution.
 Quicken Social Consciousness
 "We need also to quicken the social consciousness. We think too much of Christianity as exclusively an individ- ual thing. and we lose sight of its large social significance. Just 9s so ciety gives property the character of wealth-for example, making few feet of land in a great city worth more than many acres of land in remote country district-so it is society which gives personality It's value. One Of the highest services we can render to the individuals of community therefore is to enrich the community life.
 There are millions of people in America today who have no chance for normal development because their so- cial invironment not only represses but shrivels and poisons. For much of the crime that is committed our social con ditions are themselves responsible. A church could not remain unmoved by this if we really understood that the business of a church Is the upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ here and now and this is concerned with social as well as individual salvation
 "Hpman society is very complex. Its la W. 9are not discerned by the general mass of people. Thus we need at least a few leaders in every city who are trained in social service. But the movements of society are on a large scale and the few are helpless unless there is concerted action on the part of the many.
 Man has made progress in trans- forming the physical environment to suit him instead of merely adjusting himself to it as the lower animals must do But we have barely begun to recognize that we may in the same way transform the moral environment. This is one of the most urgent duties laid upon the churches today.
