World.

st. Louis. Mo
Some years ago, the question was
asked; What is college? The at
tempt to answer Il 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
ia for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which II 10
committed.
First, that of evangellzation. The
church is diyinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man In the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
n 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.

NOT FOR MEN ONLY.

Foley Carthartic Tablets are not as
insistently demanded by women as
by men because this particular
cathartic is not as well known among
women. Women suffer as much as
men do from Indigestion and consti-
patton, and they also require this
scientific remedy to keep the stomach
sweet, the liver active and the bow
els regular. Foley Carthartic Tab
lets are wholesome and thoroughly
cleansing; do not gripe or cause
nausea. Stout people say this is one
cathartic that takes away that over

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 80
named. It should be called the School
OF Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates 1t 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

spirit Of Jesus into every nook and
