many of the suburban railroad sta

wisdom Of the plan.
The forlorn and unattractive station

by clever architect who supervised
the alterations made by the company's

alone from the Christian speakers. Es-
pecially are numbers large in middle
west cities, where smaller cities than
formerly have attempted outdoor
meetings this season.
In many cities speakers have ex-
tended their times of speaking, so that
many stand on benches or in automo-
biles, and talk for one to two hours,
the listeners coming and going. The
same speakers also speak in many
parts of their cities, SO that those in
charge estimate the numbers hearing
the different pleas-religion, socialism,
woman suffrage-at double those of
most former years.
Curious1y, in the same cities this
summer reports indicate the smallest
congregations in churches since sum-
mer services were inaugurated. Some
churches in principal cities that have
secured famous speakers and retained
high-priced choirs omitted to do so
this year. In others, where they have
been retained, numbers to attend are
reported to be the smallest known. For
this latter situation no one seems able
to offer an explanation.

Which Shall It BeP

Temperance deals with the individual,
while prohibition deals with the drink.
Temperance has to do with the atti-
tude of the individual toward drink
habits and drink customs. while prohi-
bition has to do with the attitude of
the government toward the drink traf-
fic and drink business.
1t Is true in a sense that the end to
be gained Is the same. All work for
temperance is to bring about sobriety,
and that is the object Of prohibition
work. Temperance would give US go
briefly by keeping all men away from
drink Prohibition would give it to us
by keeping all drink away from men.
II either one succeeded we would
have sober manhood.
The situation is that human nature is
so conditioned that men will buy in
toxicants as long as they can find them
for sale and men will manufacture
them as long as there is a sale for
them unless prohibited by a power suf-
ficiently strong to prohibit.
Do you believe with former Gov. Han.
~ and those he represents that such a
law for the safety and protection of
the people, whom enacted, can be en-
forced: or do you believe with ex-
President Taft and those he represents
that national prohibition Is Impractical
and that 1t cannot be enforced?
This question is coming straight in
the face of our American citizenship.
What shall the answer be?

relieved Of excessive taxation, enforced
army service and compulsory work in
other directions was reasonable de-
mand that ought to have been granted
at once without seeking advice.
Rehoboam had the opportunity to Sc
cure his throne and win great popularity
by agreeing to tighten the rigors OF his
fathers administration. While he tenn
ported Jeroboam was stirring up the
people to secede.
Another mistake made by the young
king was his refusal to listen to the
aged servants of his father, who had
been trained in statecraft under his
father, before he turned away from
serving Jehovah. while Solomon was
loyal to the commission he had received
diplomacy was extending his dominion
and increasing his prestige among the
nations of the earth.
They put the philosophy of rulership in
sentence when they pointed out that
service was the pathway to. power.
He told His disciples that HE that
would be greatest must be the servant
of ALL" If we love men and labor for
their interest they will prove their
loyalty in the hour Of trial and testing.
When Rehoboam rejected the advice
the companions that had grown up
with him as court favorites they en-
couraged him to act the part of the
tyrant Rehoboam at heart was cow
ard He was afraid to refuse the peO-
pie when they made their demands. He
tried to BLUM them and overcome them
by buster when he denied their request
for justice. With that one word Reho-
boam lighted a spark which set of the
accumulated mass of finder that had
marked the decline of the spiritual life
under Solomon.

These ministers can educate the peo-

in some cases they can give them eX-
pert advice on farming, tree culture
and stock raising. Some leaders rather
think ministers ought not to go SO far
as to study up on stock and wheat, but
others say rural ministers ought to be
able to teach the people on all sub

DIR. McCAULEY GIVES A SIDE
LIGHT ON SUBCONSCIOUS EFFECTS
Declares Training of "Colored Mammiies' Brings
Southern Men Close to Church.

"The old colored nanny grooming
her song over the cradle of the white
baby put something into his subcon-
seriousness which stayed" Could any of
our college professors put it any
sweeter or more clearly than that.
The speaker was colored pastor in
q southern city. He went on to say:
AFTER all, you white brethren may
owe something to u.s. Did you ever no
tice what a large percentage of south
ern statesmen and men of affairs are
protesting Christians and active in
some form of religious work." Then
he gave as his reason for such a fact
the sentence with which we started.
says DR.. Ernest r. McCauley of Nor
folk, Va, in the Lutheran Observer.
In a hay way the truth Of his OBJ
servation had before fitted through
my mind: now it has taken definite
form. Those old "colored mammies
grooming over the cradles put some
thing into the subconsciousness Of the
child which stayed. If we are to be-
lieve those who profess to be acQuaint-
ed with the phenomena Of the mind.
that is the time to put something into
the subconscious mind. And the learned
