THEM1sTocLES


When Themistocles was asked by
his host. at a dinner party to enter,
tain the guests by playing the lutte, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle. but that he could make a small
town Il great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who. are good,
"hddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over,
run with orators who can play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can't put b1ick and mortar. together,
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct,
and that it is better for a man that he
should. build a public highway than
that he should become Governor of a
state, and that he start a pillow than
that he become the author of a law.
The true test Of craftsmanship is the
plow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern, first build,

WHEN is A NAN DRUNK?

Judicial authority in Topeka has
ruled that a man is drunk If a police.
man can detect the odor Of liquor on
his breath. If, in addition, he talks
and laughs b~oisterously he is drunk
and d%isorderly and guilty of a breach
of the peace. If this standard were ap.
piled to the city of New York it is es.
timated that 10000 people would be
arrested as drunk and disorderly
every day. In Chicago the number
would be 100000; In Philadelphia, 3OO,.
600. The claim of the liquorites. that
Topeka has a high percentage of
drunkenness will not hold water-or
any other kind of liquid.
In this connection 1t may be noted
that Topeka, with a population Of A..
lO2. has 20 policemen. The average
for 20 American saloon-infested cities
with a population Of $4,000 to IS, 900
Is 46 policemen.

If religion pervades and colors the

Duty OF Christianity to Evanse!Ize the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A.. Rice, D. ..
Pastor st. John M. E. Church. South,
st. Louis, Mo.

Some years ago, the question wal
asked: What Is a college? The at
tempt to answer it shook the educa-
tional world. in America from center
to circumference. Another question is
now beginning to be asked: What is
q church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask. in
this initia:: paper, what the church
10 for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it Ia
committed.
-. First, that of evangelization. Tho
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man In the least land. and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
q divine power, which. lifts him out
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels Of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship.
This alone were an immense priv
ilege.

Teaching the Art Of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with Its e~vangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education. has
ONE to mean a specific thing In our
,untry, namely. the training Of the
ople in the local church In those
:ep matters which pertain to the
Of living. I IN not nov speaking
he work of education in schools,
sges and universities, but the work
ducation at doors, in the con-
.atiQn. Every agency in reach
uld be employed to the utmost in
IS important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made a sort Of
university for all the people. in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
Of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase Of the church's work re-
ceived anything like adequate atten-
ton. The New Testament word for
It is Publication.

musical organizations, culture courses,

should be held. Tricky settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development Of
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church

spirit of Jesus into every nook and

secretary, who has been in the United
States for several months, boarded
the steamship Bergensfjord today
for Bergen, Norway. He will cross
the ocean under assurances of safe
conduct given the United States state

After Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, announced he
would discontinue interviews, DIR.
Dernberg was looked upon as the
leading exponent of Germany's views
in the United States. His speeches
and interviews finally led to intima-

the United States. The German en-
bassy recently announced he had de-
cided to leave of his own initiative.
