A year ago Christian churches gem
orally were in a state of trepidation
over the situation created by the war.
Numerous writer's in magazines and
IN other publications were discours-
ing on the failure of Christianity.
Church conference plans Of interna-
tional character had to be abandoned
on account of the difficulty of secur-
ing delegates from belligerent coun-
tries.
One plan of the kind is the Worlds
Sunday School convention which was
to be held in Toxic, Japan, now post
poned until the war is over. The en-
tire International spirit and purposes
of church organizations which were
developing in interest and had promise
for much good to the religious life OF
the world was ruthlessly disturbed,
but the Christian ministers and
teachers, UNCONVENTIONAL heads and
leaders addressed themselves quickly
to the new situatiof4 and entered on
new plans with increased courage.
The discussion in regard to waning
and falling Christianity soon sub
sided, and In it's place has come the
conviction that Christianity has not
been tried, and, had it been tried,
there would have been no war. This
conviction has caused an increase in
religious thought and feeling, the
fruits of which are yet to be gath
cred The tragedy of the battlefront
has caused many people to think Sc
riously on the spiritual realities of
life. The year 1916 is looked forward
to with hope. Both Catholic and
Protestant bodies are planning mis-
sions and evangellstic meetings,
Large Scale Efforts.

a jack rabbit, says the Sterling City
(Texas) News Record He manages
to pick up enough to keep him alive
until death comes to his relief, for it
is said that ne never RECEIVERS from
the mango.
Coyotes with the mango have been
found from DEVILS river to New MeXl-
co, but few people know how it origi-
mated among the wolves.
Many years ago there lived near
Sonora, sheepman, whose focks were
raided by the coyotes. Notwithstand-
ing i-e used trap, gun and poison on
them, they seemed to increase and deal
him much damage.
In order to carry misery to the camp
of the coyote and keep him busy with
his own affairs in his leasure moments,
the sheepman trapped a number OF
healthy coyotes and placed them in a
pen with an old hound which had a
most grievoqs case of mango. These
coyotes were fed and kept with the
hound until they developed mango all
over their bodies, and then they were
set at liberty. It was not long after
this until many coyotes could be found
all over west Texas.

THE FAITHFUL TOAD.
One Weather Prophet That You Can

Our friend, tie almanac, for we still
regard it as friendly, although it mas
deceived US once or twice, advises US
that it is warmer, that We are having
showers and that ''t-e long, low trill
Of the toad-yes, the common garden
toad-joins the shrill staccato peeping
of the hylas." We are aware Of t.
fact that it is warmer and that we have
mad a shower or two, but we are re-
lieved to hear t. at the toad is coming.
Most of the seed is planted, and the
sweet peas have sprouted, but we shall
not feel that everything is quite as it
should be until the toad arrives to take
charge of tie garden. There is nobody
else we would trust it to, nobody else
too ugly to be jealous of the flowers,
too stupid to be selfish and too lazy to
be discontented. There is nobody else
wise enough to eat the harmful insects,
patient enough to wait for sprinkling
time, generous enough to love every
plant. It is ridiculous that some folks
prefer tie toad's flashy cousin, the
frog. Not long ago the question was
discussed in one of the magazines, and
we were aske:l what gave US our sense
of loathing fron, the garden toad, while
tie frog, which did nothing but play
: e dandy anu the braggart, was un-
ifornly treated as a good fellow. "1f
the toad gulped and croaked all night
long, we were asked, "and made mis-
home in Shiny pools instead of in the
melon patch. would they reverse their
present order in our esteem" 1t
seems a foolish question or at least a
question directed to foolish people. Tie
only thing a frog is good for is fish
ing bait, and there is nothing very
glorious about that. Those of US who
have gardens rave never thought of
putting Mr. Toad, our chief of police,
in tne same class with the vagrant
frog. If toa0 does not find our gar
den We 80 out and find a toad. At least
one man is known to have stolen his
neigh5or's toad and a number of toads
have been brought in from the woods
and placed in residence under cab
bage leaf. 1t is to be hoped that the
almanac is right this time and that we
can soon turn our gardens over to our
faithful Mr. Toad.

WASHINGTON SHAFTS APEX
Few People Know the Purpose of the
Parallel Iron Bands.
Youths Comapnion.

Youths Comapnion.
Few person who Lave seen the
Washington Monument, even those
who have lived within sight of it all
their lives, have noticed that the apex
of the monument is surrounded with
parallel bands. Such is the fact, now
ever; and moreover, tie bands are
studded with golden points. The bands
are made of gold-plated iron foot
wide and the points are spaced foot
from one another.
For a few moments in each sunny
day of the first week of the new year
the golden fllet that binds the brow
of the Washington Monument is visible
to human eyes. Then the angle of in
cidence of the suns rays is such that
they are reflected downward to the
windows of the buildings north and
west of the monument, and the cool,
gray surface is seen to be marked
with II shining lines Of gold.
theoretically, a similar effect could
be obtained from some point Of OBJ
servation at each moment when the
suns rays are intercepted by the slop-
ing top of the monument, but only an
airship could attain the necessary
vantage point.
According to tie original plan Of the
monument, it was protected from
lightning by an aluminium tip that was
connected with the metal framework
of the elevator. During the very first
summer after the monument was COM
pleted, however, it was struck twice
and a piece of stone was clipped from
the top.
Experts from all THE scientific de-
partments of the government were
called On to contrive a plan for the
better protection of the shaft, and they
decided that copper bands, studded
with projecting points, would accom-
plish the purpose. Col. Casey, who
had charge of the work, objected on
the ground that copper would turn
green and that the Verdigris, would
""run" and spoil ybe appearance Of the
monument; he also doubted if copper
