Why We Should Bring the Children into
Sunday School

| Address by Ora Lawrence at Beaver
Township Sunday School Convention.
All true disciples Of Christ are mis-
sionarieS that is they want to help to
bring the world to Jesus. But it
seems 10 me that in the past, they
were so busy hunting the lost sheep
and welcoming the prodigal son, that
the little lamb was left 10 wander away
into the mountain and become auoth'
er lost sheep; the saloon and gambling
hall was left TO lure their boy into the
same path the prodigal had followed.
Teachers and parents, through false
conceptions Of modesty, left the boy
and girl to find the pitfalls OF immoral
ity by falling into them.
With the modern Sunday School
began a new era, we realize that child
hood is the portal through which all
humanity must pass; that children
are the great moral hazard ond oppor
tunIty OF mankind. Instinctlyely
they possess the great qualities Of dis
cipleship utter truthiulness and doc
ility, and so they offer the most per
feet sell on whicn TO SOW the seeds Of
truth.
Spurgeon tells story Of finding an
apple in a phial. He was puzzled to
know how it could have gottn there,
for it was much larger than the neck
Of the bottle, but going into the or
chard he found a phial placed over a
tiny apple which was still growing on
the tree. Now" he says, II saw it
all. The apple was put into the bottle
while it was little, and grew there.
Just so we must catch the little men
and women who swarm our streets,
and introduce them within the inhu-
ence Of the church, for it is hard in
deed 10 reach them when they have
ripened in carelesness and sin"
Some one has called the Sunday
school the church at work. Statistics
show that large percent Of conversions
are among Sunday School pupils, and
yet we hardly realize what a world
power the Sunday School is. At the
last Worlds Sunday School Conven-
ton, which was held at Zurich, Switz
erland, in 1918, there were delegates
from seventy different nations. There
we're then about 100000 Sunday
Schools, with about 100000 mem
bers.
In these Sunday Schools the morals
are being trained and the characters
built Of the men and women OF the
future. These men and women, as a
result Of what they are now being
taught, will make laws that will end
With their attending evils-the twin
relics Of barbarism," war and intern
perance. Through these and other
civic reforms they will bring into
practice the doctrine which Jesus
taught: that all men are brothers and
that each is his brothers keeper. In
this way will come about the new
earth as seen by John, and the mel
lennium described by Isaiah.

1t looks very much as il the allies
had agreed that the thing Of prime
Importance at present is to carry the
Dardanelles by assault, so as to be able
to supply Russia with needed arms and
ammunition, and themselves with food
from Russia's wheat fields. More and
more this is becoming war Of artillery,
and the men in the trenches with rifles
are mere auxiliaries. Russia cannot
withstand the assaults OF the tremend-
Gus German guns; and all that the
Russian army can do, apparently, is to
yield ground as slowly as possible. II
the way 10 the Black Sea is opened,
and the allies can supply Russia with
big guns enough to withstand the as
sault OF the German artillery, and il
meanwhile the British can supply rheir

notwithstanding the fact that she is in

crude milk-benches to the sweep OF

said, looking straight into her eyes:

He watched her expression, and her
lips curved up in the same sweetness

DECLARES LIQUOR NOT MEDICINE

| j. K. White, pure food and drug com
missioner, is in receipt of statement
forwarded to him by one of the leading
drug magazines declaring the National
Pharmacopeia committee has declared
that liquor is not medicine. The arti
Gle is of particular interest to drug
gists over the state. 1t is also interest
ing in face of the test case on the me-
chanical and medicinal features of the
stringent local option amendatory act
passed by the last legislature. The
statement is as follows:
''The drug store blind pig in the
United States is practically doomed by
action taken by the National Pharma-
Icopeia committee. This committee, com
posed of 81 of the foremost physicians
of the country, has decided that whis-
key and brandy will not be named as
drugs or medicine in the new edition
of the United States Pharmacopeia.
''This means that after Jan. /, 1916,
when the new edition will be issued,
brandy and whiskey can not legally be
sold by druggists as medicine.
After that time it will be necessary
for the druggist to Danish whiskey and
brandy from his store or take out a
retail liquor Dealers license and be
classed with saloon keeper. Instead of
paying only the $25 federal liquor per-
init fee as at present, he will be com
PEELED, if he continues to sell whiskey
and brandy, to pay the much higher To-
cal license rates and comply with state
and municipal liquor regulations,
"The action of the Pharmacopeia
committee is recognized as a severe
blow to the liquor traffic in dry dis
tricts.''

MARKET INF RMATION ON
POTATOES.

The following report on potatoes was
issued by the government July 8, 1915:
"Acreage-3,732,oOo acres, against
3,7Os,O00 acres in 1914.
Condition-91.2 per cent of normal,
against 1876 in 1914, and ten year
average of S7.6.
Indicated Yield-1O5.4 bushels per
acre, against 1925 in 1914 and five
year average of 97.1.
Estimated Total Production-393, 900,
600 bushels, against 4O5,921 900 in 1914
and five year average Of 357 100000.
The above figures have been received
since our market letter No. 5 was sent
out, in which we gave you detailed
market information by states These
figures would indicate very little better
prices than last year. With the prepa-
ration we are making to conform to the
demands of the California market, and
the popularity Idaho potatoes acquired
during last season 8 shipments, we are
insured Of good market there, especial
ly after December 1st
Our opinion is that, after the Septem-
Der shipments, our growers should pit
most of their stock according to rules
which will be issued later from this
office, SO that repetition of last years
over-crowding of the markets in Octo-
Der and November may be avoided.
Washington and Oregon show an in
crease which will perhaps slightly eff
feet the California market; while our
latest information from California is
that, on account of quality, their better
potatoes, which come into competition
with ours, will be very much short of
last year.
The government in the weekly news
letter has also advised that the farmers
who live in communities where grow
ers' cooperative organizations are in
existence should patronize them with
their loyal support.
The following paragraph, under the
heading of Conclusion" is copied
from the 1914 year book, separate pam
|phlet No. 637:
Corporation as an economic prin-
ciple is receiving the serious consider
alton Of practically all industrial class
es. Its application to special lines Of
agricultural distribution and market
ing is entirely feasible and offers a
solution of problems and difficulties
that are practically hopeless in so far
as the individual is concerned. In the
United States department of agriculture
cooperative organization is considered
to be a primary and fundamental prof
ect, for it is believed that cooperation
in agriculture is a corrective measure
that will place the industry upon
solid basis and do much to insure the
future happiness and prosperity of the
nation.''
The purposes to be derived from the
efforts of the government in behalf of |
the producers will depend entirely upon
whether the growers adhere to the gov
ernment's advice or not. Remember this
is not ours, but is issued by
our government.
