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 q 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 of 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 1t en-
acted" than were ever concealed IN
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 OF
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk of an In
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and Outlines de-
structive legislation. Many political
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 off the tree OF
American liberty or cut a 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 u
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
Tense of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
/. permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party ucce to disfranchise
reason or the rancor Of a political
campaign to influence judgment a
render capable service.
The preservation Of u prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attrt-
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the staff Of
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies, much
Of the trouble in government will dis
appear.

Teaching the Art Of Living.

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. ] am not now speaking
of the work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at u doors, In the con-
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
1t is Publication.
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 Sum
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. Tricky 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 Outstanding
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.
N~eighborly 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 a
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 a 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!
It is the mission of the church-the
rural az well as the city-to evange-
lie the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it e~vangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.

Duty Of Christianity to EvangeIIxe che

Pastor st. John NJ. E. Church. South.
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 a 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
o 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
il0go.
