the eagles of France were halted by
the impenetrable squares.
The battle went on until o'clock
came. Napoleon's confidence had Civ
en- way to worry. The moving col
umns seen away to the right early in
the day were known to be Prussians.
Grouchy could not be seen or heard.
The Prussian advance was coming in
to action on Napoleon's extreme right.
Both Napoleon and Ney saw that they
must strike quick if the battle was to
be theirs, so the intrepid marshal
marched out again and once again
was rolled back in disorder. He
achieved some success, however, for
a detachment of French now held La
Haye Sainte.
That slim victory in a day of de-
feat gave Napoleon new hope. Even
yet, he thought, Wellington might be
crushed, and then, with the famed
Imperial Guard he would take Butcher
by the throat and shake him while
Grouchy would come up behind and
stamp on the pieces that flew from
his mouth. The emperor decided on a
final desperate cast.
The Old Guard, heretofore held in
reserve, was mustered under General
Druot. Napoleon rode down from his
headquarters and escorted them a lit
tie way and then, dramatically, bade
them farewell to their death or glary.
Ney rode at the head of the guard.
His horse went down at the first vol
ley. Then, on foot, the man who
merited the title of "le plus brave des
braves" cheered on his men. The
English field seemed deserted when
the charging column came in sight.
A group of staff officers were the
only soldiers in sight. "a retreat"
the French shouted. But their exul-
tation was too soon. Wellington had
hidden his guards to stretch out on
the ground.
Cup guards. Make ready" was the
now. The English, four
ranks deep, arose. To the astonished
it seemed that the very
ground had spewed them out. The
English crossed bayonets with the
imperial Guard and for the first time
hat famed legion gave ground. At
irst it was sagging only, but finally
he tension broke and the Imperial
iuard broke into a rout.

Teaching the Art of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean a specific thing in our
country, namely. the training of the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art OF living. 1 am not now speaking
of the work of education in schools.
colleges and universities, but the Work
of education at our doors, In the COLI
gregation. Every agency in reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this 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.

Duty Of Christianity to Evanoelize the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor St. John NJ. E. Church. South.
St. Louis. Mo.

st. Louis. Mo.
Some years ago, the question was
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
a church? Without undertaking to
give definition of it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed
First, that Of evangelization. The
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
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.

TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time There is
scarcely a campaign speech made. a
! platform demand written or a mea-
| sure enacted into law that does not
! carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
/ thereof.
There is more blue sky in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses Qf the bold
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret com
binations formed by politicians in the
name Of my Country than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE it en-
acted" than we're ever concealed I'M
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
Visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
fafi fn1a
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story OF the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination |
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the |
first law in politics There are many |
men in office today who, if they |
could not shake plums of the tree OF
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public.
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
lets in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
tense of agriculture or industry No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of political
to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
can voter should seek these attr1-
,utes as implicitly as the Wise Men
ollowed the Star of Bethlehem and 1

School of Religion Needed.

OF course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to be so
named. 1t should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it to be
an all-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development OF
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is that of Christianizing
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit of Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.

Neishborly Love Essential.

If religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious busi-
ness, for it will let no corner of the
world escape its influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not g
thing to be practiced in a corner the
better for the world. The question Of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? Of the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results of scientific research? OF
the twentieth, What can it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love Of
God, whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be- Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, II he
is a genuine follower of the Christ.
1t is the mission of the church-the
rural as well as the city-to evange-
lie the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute |
rule in all human relations.

ing expressed that the hours had gone
all too quickly and that such gather
ings should be repeated.
