we become mainly directors of clubs,
managers of societies, organizers of
recreation, promoters of prosperity,
and instead of studies with book-lined
walls, as our fathers had, and praying
closets, we have offices only, bustling
and noisy, resounding with the click
of typewriters and the unending
tramp of messengers and committees.
Is not this dictrine of efficiency in the
service of the community ignoring
spiritual values Is it a productive
church--it might be of course pro-
ductive grange or school association
or improvement society or civic league

it is not productive church except as
those elements of prosperity are eth

The third reason does the corporations
more credit than the considerations of
profit and convenience. They are at last
struck with the inconsistency of requir-
ing some of their employees to sell stuff
that they forbid other Of their employees
to touch under penalty Of dismissal.
This was the point urged by The
Times when it fought the opening Of

station in this city.
If IL ieopardzes the lives of their pa

right has the transportation company
to thrust temptation constantly before

Of other corporations of their wits and

The economic argument against liquor
selling is gripping all industry so pow

THE Star-Spangled Banner" is mag

but it is pitched too high for the aver

training, some knowledge of music to
carry its measures well.
It also seems to be pitched too high
for the average feet. One has to have
some knowledge of history, some grasp
upon the meaning of sacrifcial patriot
ism to stand up for that splendid song.
