REV. MIR. HOLDEN IN
ABLE DISCUSSION OF
AN|MP0RTANTTOP|C
LARGE CONGREGATION AT THE
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH
HEARS as RELIGION WORTH
WHILE?" ABLY DEFENDED.

At the First Christian church last
night, a large congregation heard
with much interest an able defense of
religion when Rev. Mr.. Holden, the
pastor in charge discussed the topic,
els Religion Worth While ?"
The subject was ably and interest
ingly handled, and those who heard
it possibly now hold stronger opin-
ion Of the subject than had been their
opinions previously. The sermon was
heard with rapt attention, and in the
course of the discourse, among other
good things, he said:
Excerpt From Sermon.
Happiness is the chief goal of
mankind; and while happiness may be
found in varying pursuits, it is still
the ultimate Of all endeavor.
"That religion has any means at
its hand for obtaining happiness, has
been ridiculed by many as pack of
old woman's fables. Human progress
has outgrown religion. Religion is of
no use in present day stress and COM
petition-it is effeminate-irration
All these and many other charges
are thrown up against the Christian
religion.
eff one of these charges was true
then religion is false, and had better
be overthrown. But the experiences
of life deny this, for all morality is
based upon religion, and every code
of morals has been associated with
religion from time immemorial. Con-
fucius gathered together laws, moral
that were in existence, it is true, but
they were non-effective until empha.
sized as religious exercise.
"Then, also, all the humanitarian in.
terests of today owe directly thei,
| origin to the fact that 1900 years
ago new message of sympathy ane
sacrifice was brought to the world BY
the Man of Nazareth.
Religion betters a community. Il
| brings new moral atmosphere
which uplifts and ennobIes; it makes
better men and women and gives hope
instead of despair; and whether true
or false, brings note of optimism
which brightens the leaden atmos
phere Of a materialistic age.
Religion establishes a standard O.
right and wrong, supports the veal
the weak is right, and seeks to rende
practical sympathy to the oppressed
It's purpose is to lead men not to b
i good but to do good"
| A good gathering enjoyed the musi
of the choir, and the work of tn
singers in the future is eagerly looke
for on the succeeding Sunday even
| ings.

State Supreme Court Decides
Against the Dairymen in

SUSTAINS HEALTH OFFICIALS
ated for Purpose of Insuring
Pure Food.

The milkmen of Kansas City, kas-,
must furnish good milk to their Gus
toners. The Kansas supreme court
recently sustained the state and the
city health officials in their fight
against bad milk.
Frederick H. Meyer of the Meyer
Sanitary Milk Company of Kansas
City sold to ]. A. Bukaty some milk
which did not come up to the stand
ard prescribed by the state board. He
was arrested, but the Wyandotte coun-
ty district court threw the case out
of court becaNse the county attorney
did not specify that the milk had been
"adulterated by adding some foreign
substance which tended to reduce its
quality" and that the board of health
did not have authority to make regu-
lations as to the contents of milk Of
any other article of food. The SUI
preme court held that the board of
health was created for the purpose of
making regulations on food standards,
and that it did not concern the court
how the adulteration was made, a
long as the food was not up to stand
ard.

ON RUssIA's MIGHTY RIVER
Empire Owes Much to Historic VoIga,
Which Plays important Part in
Life of Nation.

In Russia the rivers are large and
sluggish, owing to their great length
and slight fall The Volga is the long
est river in Europe. 1t is 1900 miles
in length-that is, three times as long
as the Rhine-yet its total fall is only
a little over 500 feet.
The peat boys in the Valdai hills,
where it takes its rise, are only 75O
feet above sea level, while Astrakhan,
at the mouth, is 65 feet below the level
of the sea-
The Russian fondly speaks and sings
of it as ~Matushka Volga,' or Little
Mother Volga,'' in gratitude, no doubt,
for the bouteous supply of fish, caviar
and game. as well as comforts and
pleasures afforded by this historic
stream, which plays SO important a
part in the economic life of the ma
ton.
The products of Asia and Europe
are carried on its waters; the two
thousand odd river steamers are al
ways busy, and the huge RATS, consist
ing often of thousands of logs, being
foated or pulled down the stream, rep

PUT WARFARE ON NEW BASIS
Use of Field Artillery at Crecy Marked
the End of the Mail-Ciad
Fighting Man.

OF all the worlds great battles
Crecy possesses unique interest The
English used only three pieces of field
ordnance. They were small cannon
made of trees, bored, and bound with
iron hoops, and the missiles were of
stone, scarcely larger than baseballs-
Doubtless this rude artillery made far
more noise than it affected damage.
1t was the longbow and the broad
sword that won the battle, but never
theless gunpowder was henceforth to
play an ever-increasing part in the
strife of nations.
Explosives wrought a vast change
in fighting methods on land, for many
of the old-time weapons were rendered
quite useless in face of death-dealing
ball and shot. Warfare af1oat, too,
would be revolutionized. Hitherto the
fighting ships had been. largely car
