LIFE's ROAD

Worry is a big load to carry and an
unnecessary one. When accompanied
by Indigestion it certainly is cause for
the blues.
But the whole trouble may be easily
thrown off and lifes road be made
easy and comfortable by proper eating
and the cultivation Of good cheer.

TO CHRISTIAN LIFE
Words OF the Savior Were Fol
low Thou Me-" No Thought
of Greed or Preparation.

Now, when we say that Christianity
is a life and not creed. we mean
that, whether a person can read a
creed or not. whether he had been
taught 1t in words or not. il he sees
the Christian life, he can enter into
1t and follow it.
We mean just what the Saviour
meant when he insisted upon action
instead of expression. And it is very
interesting to see. in his own persons
al history, how closely he held hinl-
self to his own statement.
Take that most pathetic conyersar
ton with the young nobleman Of
Edom SO far as verbal expression
went. he and the Saviour were at one.
The young man says. almost sadly,
Il have kept the Ten Command
ments that is. have obeyed the
written law-sfrom my youth up.
Jesus tells him what is the one thing
which he needs.
The one thing he needs, 1t seems. Is
action. Follow me; do as / do; lift
up that which has fallen down. bring
comfort where there is no comfort.
make men see and know that the
kingdom of God is at hand"
Modern Churches Different.
All the established churches, when
young men come to them who wish TO
be minister Of the Gospel say. Yes. II
you win go into such and such a
school and study such and such Ian
guages and read such and such books,
and pass all examination In those
books, at the end OF such and such a
time, If you believe what we wish.
we will give you a license which shall
enable you to go out and say to all
the world that the kingdom Of God is
at hand"
But Jesus Christ took no such pre-
cautions for good grammar or for con-
sentative utterance. He found some
fishermen washing their nets. He did
not say to them learn anything" but
he said. Follow me"
He found man changing money at
the tax brokers stall, and he did not
say to him learn anything" but Fol
low me-"
Men Worthy Of Selection.
There is not the slightest indication
that one of the IL apostles had made
any study whatever in the formulas OF
the Jewish church. or of the Christian
church that was to be. They we're
simply men who, as Jesus thought
had pluck and energy enough for the
position to which he was to appoint
them; who had followed SO far that he
knew something about them and
whom he therefore appointed, because
they were men of action for the emer-
gency.
And the Master is willing that his
church shall stand the test to which
he leaves fisherman, apostle, young
nobleman and repentant sinner. 1t is
the same test for kings and emperors
and fishermen, for preachers Sand
blacksmiths, for artists and dress
makers-that simple test of thistles
and vines and fig-trees.
All of them, the emperor like the
blacksmith, shall be judged by their
fruits The fishing net and the church
will be judged by what they do. The
doctrine will be judged by the life.
The life will not be judged by the
doctrine.-From sermon by Edward
Everett Hale.

TALENTED YOUNG MATRON

New York, Boston, Chicago and the
most denseIy populated cities are ia
miliar with the type of woman best
represented by Miss Mabel Boardman,
head Of the Red Cross, and now by
Mrs. Joseph Medill Mccormick who
has taken over the national protection
of the suffrage cause. Miss Boardman
IS a dominant figure socially and under
the Taft administration presided over
the nearest resemblance to a. salon of
the eighteenth century the capital has

land will be the next nation to step
into the European conflict, every
power involved Is today endeavoring
TO escape responsibility for the
slaughter, devastation and suffering
of the worlds greatest war which is
now breaking.
In its declaration OF war against
France today, Germany sought TO
show that the republic was the az.
gressor in the movements along the
frontier during the past three days.
The kaiser has also sought to lay ut
the door OF the czar responsibility
for the break between their nations.
Russia has passed responsibility back
upon Germany.
England, standing TO the last for

sponsible for the conflict which viii

Premier Asquith made It clear
that Germany had again fallen
back upon its claim Of French ag-
gression to justify her violation
Of Belgium. The premier told
the house of commons Germany
had declared that she disre-
garded Belgium's neutrality and
invaded her territory to prevent
the advance Of the French by
that route.
This answer, as explained by As
quith. was obviously not accepted by
the commons.
Premier Asquith explained that all
England had demanded OF Germany
was that she give the same assur-
ances regarding respecting Belgium's
neutrality as France had. This, he
said, was refused.
