mon sort, but when lie left them they
were not quite so common as they were
before lie met them and that IL the
acid test OF your religion, when you fol
low It directly into the heart OF the
world.
Your solo thought should not be 20
Keep the man by your side from drag
glng you to hell. but your sole thought
should be leading the man TO heaven.
Certainly Jesus was not ascetic Ills
goodness was not OF the dollhouse variety.
Il was robust. rcd-blooded type that
did not fear contact with tho world.
For these four reasons | am convinced
that to be Christian does not demand
running away from the world IN order
to save ones self half so much as II does
getting into the world in order TO save it,
The sentence has been ringing down
the centuries, What shall Il profit =
man II he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul" But when once a man 9
soul has been saved Il rs a good thing
for him to say, what shall Il profit a
man II he save his own soul but the
! whole world be lostT''
In the thinking Of Jesus religion was
two things: First, an anti-toNin render
ing a man immune from the poisons
OF sin.
Second, powder blast behind the man.
sending him like a bullet into the very
! center of the world. there to act rs
leaven on the lump. and as a witness to
the world OF the Lord Jesus Christ.

while they would not shoot a man with

Philadelphia and by vote in the board

ward. Men who would not pick the
pockets of one man with the fingers Of
their hand will. without hesitation, pick
the pockets of So.OOo'N0 people with the
fingers of their monopoly or. commercial
advantage. Men In whose hands The
virtue of your wife or daughter would
be MS safe as in your own, but who will
every year drive hundreds OF cases
Of virtue over the line into vice by
the pressure of starvation wages which
they pay. Men who will gladly draw
their check for $4,000 and give 1t to a

children's hospital came out of 200

words, this idea has produced type OF

the opposite in his public life.

that Christianity is religion not onl!

positively good things need never worry

Running away from the world In order
TO be good Is not Christian. OF course,

link between the regular army and the
national guard and has voted for two
bills along this line.
To Encourage Militia.
II maintain that the national guard
should be encouraged by the government
For instance. when the guard goes on
hikes for drill practice, believe oompen-
sstion should be allowed There should
be more incentives for the building up Of
the national guard" was a statement he
made in an interview at the National
Farmers convention hall.
The senator says rural welfare should
be one OF the problems OF the nation.
Where do we so for our soldiers in time

ties. Where do we get our best sol
diers? Not from the slums OF the
cities" was another comment.
Senator Norris was disinclined TO dis
cuss politics at this time. He said he
was too busy with other matters TO think
of politics. The state situation has not
shaped itself to an extent that would war
rant him giving a forecast.
The senator has been looking over the
irrigation projects in the west end of the
state.
