Religious Tolerance

Richmond Times Dispatch,
Whether due to the immediate
broadening of the wars influence,
or to a general and growing reallza-
ton of the unimportance of the
nonessential in religion, strict
orthodoxy has rarely been less re-
garded as vital element OF personal
religion than it is now. More and
more nearly, the churches are ap
preaching each other in spirit;
more ami more earnest are their
leaders in the effort to effect church
unity; more and more frequent are
their joing enterprises for the bet
terment of humanity. both materl-
ally and morally.
At this time, more than ever be-
fore, personal conduct, life, service
and sacrifice are the determining
factors in mems minds as to their
brothers religions; creeds and
tenets, forms and rituals, seem to
be assuming their proper values &C.,
means of exposition. rather than
cardinal principles Recognizing
these influences, then, it is not
hard ITO understand the recent
action of the New York. Presbyearv

young men whose beliefs were not
orthodox in all respects.

Teach Your Children
the Power of Saving

A writer in the May Womans's
Home Companion says: Parents
can put into the hands of children
simple tables showing the growing
power of savings which are kept
invested. 1t isn't hard to demon,
strate, for instance, that by saving
one dollar a year and keeping it
and it's accumulated interest at the
rate of five peg cent invested the
saver will have:
S13.2l in ten years;
$50 fl in fifteen years;
$34.72 in twenty years.
$50 on. until the total of the
saving of dollar a year and the
investment and reinvestment of
interest on the savings, will rise, at
the end of forty years, to S126.S4-
more than three times the amount

"'Incompatibility' Is
Usually Bosh Says
Divorce Commissioned

In the May Woman's Home
Campanion is an exceedingly in
teresting article on marital troubles
by John J. Freschi formerly Judge
of the Court of Domestic Relations
and now Justice of the Court OF
Special Sessions of New York City.
In it he says.
THE mere fact that two people
are opposites in physical, mental, or
other qualities does not by any
means suggest that they are mis-
mated. Pc pie of antipodal ex-
tremes in everything are drawn to
gether dramatically by that queer
law of the attraction of oppos'tes
and though their adjustments may
be a succession of lively skirmlshes,
yet when it is over and done with,
their married life is very happy.
IF young wives, beginning to
fret about incompatibility, were to
take stock of the thing they do to
irritate their husbands, instead OF
passing their time listing the
offenses of the husbsnds-then
about three fourths of the divorce
courts would 60 out of business. "

Moyinc Day for Mrs. Lynx.

The domestic life of the American
lynx Is not often exposed to the OBJ
servation of a sympathetic human
being. All the more interesting is
this little incident, Of which a con-
tributor to the Outing Magazine was
a witness:

I was cruising up mountain road
to q clump Of cedar timber, and had
no weapon except my az. While !

Der I heard a cat mewing. I seated
myself on q fallen log just at the
edge of the dense timber, and waited.
Presently I decided that the sound
came from a fallen hollow cedar, a
few rods from where sat.
A lynx appeared at the opening,
looked back into the hollow, and
mewed encouragingly. She was join
ed by two half-grown kittens that
stood blinking at the bright sunlight,
The old one moved forward few feet
and called to her brood. They tod
died out, and joined her. She played
with them, cuffed them about, and bit
at them, mewing and purring the
while, exactly as q tabby does with
her family.
In short time she moved on again.

1t took her half an hour to lead them
into the protection of the forest. MY

had I been otherwise armed, I could
not have brought myself to modest
