A TIMELY
SUGGESTION.

The rank and file of the church
militant are aware of the fact that
suggestions from them are not asked
and are turned down on general
principles. Yet occasionally some OF
this class have the temerity to sug-
pcst certain departures which 1T %
believed would result in good were
they adopted. In the General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian Church
in Chicago yesterday Rev. DR.. JOS
eph r. Davies, of Philadelphia,
moved that an evangelist-at-large be
appointed with a corps of special
auxiliaries for immediate work in
the country. DR.. Davies said there
never was time when expository
teaching of the Bible was more need
ed than at present.
Dr.. Davies plan will meet with
the hearty endorsement Of large
percentage of church-goers not only
in The Presbyterian Church but IN all
evangelical bodies. The Office OF
evangelist in the church is provided
for in the New Testament and this
work is equally as important as that
of pastor or teacher
In this day the ancient routine OF
preaching from texts, some of which
embrace but bare suspicion OF
what is in the Bible, is not appealing
to the masses. Most of them would
prefer to hear more of the actual
contents and meaning Of the script
urcs.%' This procedure was satistac-
tory centuries ago, when but few
copies of the Bible existed and when
disciples went from place to place
repeating passages from holy writ
which they memerized at Christian
gatherings. Paul evidently referred
to this practice when he said, ut IS
a faithful saying and worthy OF all
acceptation that Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners" That
short sentence had doubtless been
repeated at gatherings of disciples,
in stone quarries, open fields, cata-
combs and in upper chambers.
Historians tell us father of the
church, Origen, originated the pres
cnt custom of delivering discourses
from two or three lines of the sacred
records, and although he flourished
many centuries ago, the great bulk
of teachers are following in his foot
steps in the twentieth century when
Bibles are so common.
There is no doubt whatever that
should those whose calling it is to
feed the flock become eXposltory
teachers many pews now vacant
would be occupied by earnest people
who seek the truth.
There has recently been launched
a commendable movement, approved
by dignitaries among Catholics,
Professionals and Jews, for closer
study of the Bible. A new transla
ton of the entire book was issued by
Protcstants years ago. The Catho
lies are now engaged in translatin}
and revising the Bible, as are als'
the ancient people to whom the 1--we
" oracles were originally committed
While all this is going neNposi
tory teaching should accompany In
movement, which is significant u
this day when, in the figurative Ian
guage used by the Author OF Chrls
tianity, "the seas and the waves ar
roaring"

ONE PAGE or HISTORY


Here ii the moral OF all human tales
'Tis but the same rehearsal Of the
past,
First freedom, then gIory--when that
fails.
Wealth, yiess corruption. barbarisnl
at last;
And history with all her volumes vast
Hath but one page
In the above lines Byron set forth
Che rise and fam Of nations as imaged
by the poets imaginative mind ex-
pressing in bis own language the tru-
ism commonly conveyed in the prosaic
statement, history repeats itself" and
suggesting the observation Of the an
Client sage, There is nothing new un-
der the sun.
In the light Of the events now being
enacted upon the European stage, the
poets conception OF history must ap-
peal TO US with telling force and we
are apt to agree with him, concluding
that in the final analysis ii Is all re-
duced to one page"freedom, glory,
wealth, viee, Corruption, barbarism.@
From the most ancient past to the
present day, In the chronicles Of peo-
pies, kingdoms and empires, Il Is easy
TO discern repetition Of this cycle.
Present events strongly tend to con
firm this view but penetrating beneath
outward Manifestations we may be
Bile TO discern degreeof unwarrant
ed pessimism in its
History is more than passing events.
AT every stage all the elements men
toned by the poet exist TO greater or
less extent and In the cbb and flow
OF human affairs different forces are
dominant as change succeeds change
but underneath all the poet who
thought more deeply than Byron dis
covered that every day is a new be-
ginning and still another observed
that through the ages one increasing
purpose runs and the thoughts Of men
are widened with the progress Of the
suns"
Take trip upon the level plain that
leads To the distant mountains, The
picture before the eye day after day
may apparently be about the same but
all the time you are rising to higher
attitudes Monotonous enough the
journey may seem but every day sees
progress. History Is not one page but
many and every page is different. In
spite Of apparent backsets and suppos-
ed stagnation at times, the current Of
civilization sweeps onward and ut
doth not yet appear what we shall be-
when humanity as a whole is purged
Of savagery and selfishness and the
law or justice and kindness holds ani-
versal sway

for two girls. aged 6 and ~, and
two boys, aged 8 and 10. Both boys
and girls are said to heyery beautiful

not care for them and it is desired to

That out of millions Of men engaged
in the business of killing each other
there should be some in both armies
capable of committing atrocities, we
may easily believe, but that such acts
can be charged to the official program
OF any Of the nations ID scarcely cred
ible. AT any rate, the evidence SO far
available in regard to such acts is very
conflicting and we shall do well to re-
serve judgment until more trustworthy

II the difficulties imposed upon bus
mess by the war result in bringing
various elements OF the community in
to closer cooperation, including farm
ers, merchants. bankers and all who
are toiling to better their condition,
the losses may be offset by the gains
that viii come in the long run. Pres
ident Wilson lays great stress upon
the importance of establishing bet
ter une srstanding between the various
classes that contribute to the progress
OF the country and this point needs to
be emphasized In the business deal
ings Of every community The chief
reason Why progress is impeded by
friction and the clash Of petty.
personal interests is because men have
not learned to know each other well
by close association and therefore lack
the common understanding that should
exist In times Of adyersity we may
learn this great lesson and profit from
