Doesn't it make something in you
ache when you pass a building, resi-

like it had weathered the blasts and
reflected the suns of fifty or more
f1eeting seasons? There are splotches
and blOtches all over it; the shingles
or pieces of the roofing often curl up
at the ends like a crank reformer's
hair; neglect seems to have covered 1t
with frayed and tattered mantle; the
doors sag, and the windows wink at
you with bleary Indifference. And
people live in them; it is not living:
it is existing, and very poor sort Of
existence at that. No one can do bust

The word revival" is often given
a meaning which primarily does not
belong to it. Many emphasize the
conversion Of sinners as the essential
element in a revival work; but that is
the secondary meaning Of the word.
Essentially, revival" means the
quickening of Gods people. You
cannot revive a dead man. The IN
regenerate sinner is spiritually dead.
He must be born again. Now, you
may revive a partially drowned body,
or partially frozen body. The re-
generate souls life often weakens
and wanes, until the fame almost
fickers out. But if there be the least
spark of life left, it can be famed
into flame; and like the apparently
dead cinder in the smithy's forge,
that spark will touch others and
kindle a flame that will enthuse a
church, a city, Or even a nation. A
revival of religion, then, must logi-
cally begin with the chruch. Such is
the divine order.-Christian Herald.

"PAINT UP" GOOD ECONOMY
Movement That Has a Double Appea!
to the Vanity and to
the Pocket

Paint Up" is the movement that
came bounding in right on the heels
of the cleanup campaign, and is catch
ing on like the traditional "wild-fire."
Different from the other civic cam.
palgns, paint up" has a double ap-
peal 1t appeals to the vanity and it
appeals to the pocket. It appeals to
the vanity in that very small outlay
of money can transform most any
home into beautiful place. 1t ap-
peals to the pocket in that il adds pro-
longed life to the wooden structure
and renders it far more economical
and saleable in the open market. A
freshly painted home is a thing Of
beauty and an always attractive prop
osition to prospective buyers.
Real estate men all says that $50 or
$500 worth Of paint adds from $500
to $1,000 in saleable value to any
building. In the large cities there are
spectators who make a profession Of
buying old, ilapidated-looking struc-
lures and repainting them at a mod
crate cost, and then selling them at a
much advanced figure.
Painting is the best wood preserva-
tive yet discovered. 1t Is the greatest
home beautifier beyond question. 1t
is the best investment a home owner
can make on his premises. 1t is a
good investment if the home is in
tended for permanent residence, be-
cause it preserves the wood and
makes the home attractive. 1t is a
good investment if the house is on
the market, because it Invariably in
,duces better price than an unpaint-
ed structure.
To paint your home and barns and
outhouses is good business. 1t is
good citizenship, and it is a splendid
investment, viewed from any angle

Plea for Shade Trees.

Shade trees are rapidly dying out in
many of our streets; this is frankly
admitted by civic officials. For years
past spasmodic efforts have been
made for better care of the trees
generally, but little of practical ma
ture has been achieved. One cause
for this is the meager amount an
nually voted for tree culture, care and
planting. This city spends less on such
work than any other of it's size on the
continent. In many of the big United
States cities the Importance of max
ing streets attractive, by the planting
of shade trees, is demonstrated by
their appointing special commissions
who have sole charge of this branch
of the civic service. The results thus
obtained have been most satisfactory.

CIARk'S GREAT IDEA
How the Clean Up and Paint Up
Movement Started.
St. Louis Editor Originated Campaign
for Cleanliness, Thrift and Civic
Pride That Spread Over the
Entire Country.

Some three years ago Allen W.
Clark. q St. Louis editor, started all
by himself a movement that since
then has spread all over this broad
land and that has resulted in. 1ncalcu-
liable good mir. Clark realized tnat
though house cleaning time" was sup
posed by the jOkesmiths to be the
bane Of all men, yet there was not a
decent citizen of the United States
who was not glad to have his own
premises and those of his neighbors
put In applepie order at least once
year. Especially welcome to them was
the idea that their respective towns or
cities should be made decent and pre-
sentabl2.
In fiany communities there nad
been annual cleanup" weeks Or days,
and to Mr.. Clark came the thought
that all that scattered effort should be
organized into constructive form ana
so directed that it should have more
uniform and effective results. lie
knew he could enlist the women in
ssch a plan, and he thought the men
also might be induced to take it up.
So in June, 1912. Editor Clark made
the announcement that a national
Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign
would start the next spring. Then he
set about getting influential aid In
making good on that announcement.
He wrote to number Of men and
women prominent nationally in public
welfare organizations to ask for their
Endorsement OF the scheme and their
advice in carrying it forward. The re-
sponses were most encouraging, the
following, from Edward T. Hartman,
secretary Of the Massachusetts Civic
league. being typical of them all:
am greatly interested in the Idea sug-
gested in your expression that this "clean
up and paint up campaign is to be
pushed by two arguments, viz, that TT s
Good Citizenship and Good Business" for
| believe that this states the only sub
BtantiaI basis upon which we may prop
erly develop either citizenship or busi-
ness. The business which aims to accom-
Btroying good citizenship is short lived,
and is fatal not only to itself, but to the
community in general. You are in a pc
cuIiarly advantageous position to aid in
conservation and Improvement, for paint
Is direct means to the conservation Of
houses, also Of the forests, and of many
pther things which we are going to have
10 conserve if we are not to permit our
selves to go to pieces as a nation. We
cannot continue the present wasteful pro-
cesses much longer.
Being now convinced that he was
on the right path, Mr.. Clark now es-
tablished the National Clean Up and
Paint Up campaign bureau in st.
Louis and himself took the place Of
chairman. The rest, he says, was easy.
Business and civic organizations,
women's clubs, preachers and editors
all over the country at once began
calling on him for campaign plans and
literature to spread the gospel Of
cleanliness, thrift and civic pride. The
great idea has been taken up enthusi-
astically in thousands Of American
communities.

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP"

(By Sidney Warren Mase.)
God gave the rose it's crimson hue,
And made the lily white;
He made the violet of blue,
And all things fair and bright:
The rainbow with its varied tints
He painted in the sky,
And Man by sundry schemes and
hints
Has profited thereby
The vernal glow Of leaves and grass
And ruddy CLEAN of flowers
That in the springtime come to pass
In this bright world of ours,
Are tokens of the master plan
OF One who rules on high,
And bear a message unto Man
To build and beaUtify.
And SO the moral of this verse,
We feel Is very plain:
This earth, though burdened with a
curse,
Was founded not in vain;
Which is the simple reason why
Men live and strive and win.
Who build and paint and beautify
The world they're living in.

ONE DAYS Slime WORK
Rural SchooIhouse in Tennessee ;
Is Transformed.
Dirty, Disreputable Building Repaired,
Painted and Decorated in Eight
Hours by Normal School
Teacher and Pupils.

Rural School Letter No. TO-" of Feb
ruary 10, 1914, issued by the bureau Of
education, Washington, D. c., relates
this story of One Days Work on a
Country Schoolhouse."
1t took just one working day of eight
hours to transform Tennessee rural
schoolhouse that was in very bad con-
dition into a building of which any
community would be proud. What was
accomplished in this instance by COM
munity cooperation could be carried
out effectively by any county superin-
tendent, teacher or school improve
ment association.
This unique and practical demon
stration in public-school improvement
was engineered by Prof. d. Riley Ha-
worth of the East Tennessee State
Norman school. Professor Haworth
first secured the cooperation of the
county board of education of McMinn
county, in which the demonstration
was carried out. He also secured the
cooperation of the public. school teach
ers of the county and of the patrons
Of the Neil school, the plan being to
show what any neighborhood can do
in one day by united action in the i'm
provement of school buildings and
grounds.
A band of teachers, school patrons
and normal school students marched
out to the Neil school early in the
morning to begin operations. An Off
cial photographer was taken along. He
made photographs Of the school
grounds, the building and interior at
a. m. before work began, and again
at 4 p. m, when the days work was
completed The before" and latter"
pictures made it look as if a miracle
had taken place.
The building at a. m. was in as dis
reputable a condition as it could be
and still be used for school purposes.
The workers were armed with shOvels,
hoes, axes, carpenters tools, paint,
whitewash and soap. They nailed on
new boards where they were needed,
painted the building, built chimney,
cleaned up the rubbish, scrubbed the
floor, renovated the entire interior,
constructed a bookcase for the teach
er, tinted the walls pearl-gray color,
and hung pictures. The old desks were
removed and new desks, supplied by
the school district, were placed in the
building.
The outlay aggregated, in cash, $33.
It included IL gallons of paint, 5 gal
ions of linseed oil, paint brushes,
one-half bushel of whitewash, 81 worth
of weather boarding and lathing, 2
pounds of nails, window shades, ma
terial for sash curtains, 4 pictures.
number of books to start school
library and one American flag. When
the work was completed the building
presented as attractive an appearance
as the best one-room country school.
One of the most delightful features
of the day was the social enjoyment
that resulted from the gathering to-
gether of such large group of work
ers. At noon a picnic dinner was
served by people in the neighborhood
of the school. 1t is planned to repeat
the demonstration in many other parts
OF the state.

Clean Up and Paint Up

We want a healthier town, a
more sanitary town, a better
town in which to live.
A scrubbing brush and paint
will do it.
While thousands of cities and
towns are enthusiastically en-
gagged in a clean up and paint up
campaign why should we not
have the same kind of a cam.
paign right here at home?
Why not clean up the streets
and alleys, the back and front
yards, the vacant lots? Why not
remove the dirt wherever we can
find it? Why not paint the djngy
houses and fences7
There is both pleasure and
economy in such a campaign. 1t
means a more attractive place in
which to live, and adds to the
pleasure of life. Removing the
accumulated dirt means less
sickness, and painting up adds
to the value of our homes and
business buildings.
The man who inaugurated the
clean up and paint up campaign
that has for The last three years
swept over the nation has bene-
fitted millions of people. We
should get into this popular
movement and share in the pleas
ures and benefits that invariably
come from a campaign of this
character.
