FRISCO RECRUITING SCHOOL.
Original Plan for Educating Future
Employees Is Announced.

1t is proposed by the officials of the
Frisco railroad to make every town
along the line a recruiting station for
the system. Nothing could be more
desirable than that every one on the
Frisco service should have been rear
ed in it's territory and with this OBJ
ject in view, every possible effort
consistent with fair play to those who
are or who have been in service will
be made to give positions to applicants
who live along the line.
1t is proposed to have the Superin-
tendents and those under them de-
liver short talks upon the different
branches of railway service at the
schools at points on their divisions or
wherever opportunity is afforded. 1t
is believed that with this information
the schoolboy will have an opportun-
ity, not only to learn something about
railroad service, but to discover his
natural bent.
The Frisco Man, the magazine of
the railroad, will, at an early date,
begin the publication of a short
catechism on everything in the rail-
road service from locomotives to
tariffs. These will be placed at the
disposal of the superintendent of the
different divisions, who will give them
to the boys who may be interested.

is a little cheaper to build a crib in

secured by placing the open metal

object to having hay stored over the
dairy cows, because of the dust that
floats everywhere through the stable
when the hay is transferred from the
NOW to the cows at feeding time.
Because the storage barn is placed
at one end of the COW stable, the silo
is built at the side because at least
one end Of the stable should have a
free connection with the open barn.
yard.
While this arrangement is some
what unusual, there is really no OBJ
lection to putting a silo at the side
of the stable, because the distance to
travel at feeding time is about the
same.
Always in placing buildings it is
good plan to figure the distance to
travel in doing the work. A few feet
more than necessary makes consider

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
iveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that Of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note

when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in business pay
Ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles In the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and GUS
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying s200,000,O00 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans. and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000, OOO,.
900 of fictitious values which the farm.
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value of crops produced in the United

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 II TO De
an all-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as we'll 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 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.
NefqhborTy Love Essential.
II 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
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? or
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.
It is the mission of the church-the
rural as we'll 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.

LIGIoUS LEARNING.
Duty Of Christianity to Evanselize the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.

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
a 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 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. I am not now speaking
OF the work Of education in schools,
colleges and universities. but the work
Of education at our 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-
,eived anything like adequate atten-
ion. The New Testament word for
t Is Edification
