RADICAL PLANS PROPOSED

ConEreEationalists are discussing Sc
riously the formation of a new religious
education board that shall make good
some Of the shortcomings. according TO
their point OF view, of the public school
md It's standardization of all studies.
They argue that there is one genera
tion that possesses small religious edu-
cational advantages. and that unless
something re done there Will soon be
another. Discussion is also going on
about the future status OF the "Pil-
grim Press; whether IL shall be erect
cd into denominational publishing
house somewhat on lines of the Meth
odist Book Concern
These and other matters we're nrc
cipitated by report OF a commission
on missions. made public little while
ago. in which radical rearrangment
are proposed for the entire general
work of this body. The proposal is
that the American board, doing foreign
missionary work. shall remain un.
changed. but that almost all other ex-
listing agencies shall be changed The
purpose is 70 group all along func-
tional lines of work to secure great

HOW DID YOU DIE.

(Ry Edmund Vance Cooke.)
Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, trouble Is ton or a trouble is
an ounce.
Or trouble is what you make IT.;
And 1t isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts.
But only-how did you take 1t?
You are beaten to earth? Well, well.
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down
fiat,
But to lie there-that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why. the
higher you bounce;
Be proud Of your blackened eyei
1t isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts;
It's how did You nght-and why?
And though you've been done to the
death, what then?
II you battled the best you could.
II you played your part in the world
of men,
Why, the Critic will call 1t good.
Death comes with E. crawl CIR coIn.s
with n pounce;
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're dead that

1.-THE Beautiful Adevnture.-

ITO the well-known theatrical man.
aser, Charles Frohman, II was given
In the last moments OF his life, before
the Lustania sank. to leave behind him
a great saying, saying worthy OF the
devout remembrance of mankind" says
the Christian Register. why fear
DEATH he said, Death is the most
beautiful adventure in life A beauti-
full adventure! If that idea could con-
troll every ones thought OF death, the
gloom and dread which fill the mind
would be changed into triumph. AS II
is, the common mood Is made by the
undertaken. Religion itself gets in
fected with that mood and solcmnizes
darkness more than it lightens il. If
1t were not for these prepossessions,
the soul would prepare for its great
adventure with all the expectancy and
anticipation of first journey abroad.
II would prepare itself with something
OF the eager hope with which a birth
is awaited-even more. since ii is not
of another soul, but OF itself that II
is thinking. The pain that lies be-
ing that at its height or length is sure
deliverance. The mystery would
change from dark terror to a precious
secret. and a curious interest, as In a
coming legacy, would replace appre-
hension. What we expect of death Is
surely quite other than what death
Will he. Nothing more proba BILE was
ever said, nothing more beautiful, than
that death is the most beautiful ad-
venture in life

So that looking down from heaven
Thou with love may'st smile on me.
Teach my heart, o Lord to render

And to friends who love me, too.
So that safe within Thy keeping
When the light has gone away
This sweet thought may soothe my

Unknowing we take It in our baby

Doing Away With Smoke.

Public opinion is setting strongly
against the contamination of the air
we breathe with coal smoke. A gen.
eral use of low-temperature coke would
render the atmosphere of our cities as
free from pollution as that OF New
York, where it is obligatory upon all
inhabitants to burn anthracite or some
other form of smokeless fuel. Through
wantonly wasting the valuable con-
stituents of coal by burning it raw in
the domestic fireplace we suffer dou-
BILE penalty Not only do we pay d.
reetly for the fuel that is discharged
unconsumed up the chimney, but we
pay indirectly second time in the la
Dor spent in removing it when it comes
back to us through the windows in the
form of smuts and dust. We pay, too.
in deterioriated health and obscured
sunshine.
The whole subject affords an inter-
esting illustration OF the solidarity of
scientific progress, and demonstrates
foreibly the fact that one advance in
evitably brings another in its train
The growth of twentieth century en-
gineering science. which demands oil
in evergrowing volumes, is thus tend
ing to promote sanitary reform which
is long overdue.
