THE TRAVELLING LIBRARY

From the left-handed and peppery
compliment recently paid by one OF
our colleagues to the travelling state
library management and to the bull
Ietin issued by the secretary of the
travelling library, we conclude that
that branch of the states investments
needs looking after.
AS the club women of the state
point with pride" to the travelling
library as one of their innovations,
perhaps they should make it their bus
mess to look into matters. Club
women have been accused of being
faddists and of taking up gayly and
inconsequentially first one scheme and
then aonther, forgetting the first love
as soon as the new is on. Here is
a chance for them to show that they
are keeping an eye on expenditures
which they themselves advocated.
If this business is being badly
managed and if the pamphlets and
announcements sent out by the travel
ing library display excessive 1gnor-
ance of books and authors, club wom-
en- would be justified in taking ac-
tim

The women of American Falls are

that has several times been made in
Moscow-spreading out poisoned
wheat to kill the sparrows. The
trouble has been that the poison de-

was responsible for the killing of a
great many fine dogs. 1t was an ex-
pensive way to do up a few spar

RELIGIOUS EFFECT OF THE WAR

RELIGIOUS EFFECT OF THE WAR
In the opinion of Charles Ram Ken
nedy, author of THE Servant in the
House" and The Terrible Meek" the
wars most conspicuous effects on
literature just at present are convic-
ton of sin, repentance, and turning
to God"
Mr. Kennedys analysis of the whole
effect of the years preceding the war
as well as of the year of its progress
is extremely stimulating. He criti-
cises bitterly the apologize Chris
tians, who posing as liberal" pro
gressive," or "unorthodox,' have real
ly been supporters of blasphemous
heresies of all sorts. "They try" he
says, ito assimilate all the new mad
and wicked ideas and graft them on
Christianity. They love to engrave
pretty patterns on the Rock of Ages"
Mr. Kennedy thinks that Christians
should not be liberal" progressive"
''unorthodoX," that it is a disgrace to
the name of Christian to adopt those
attitudes towards teachings not true
to the Christian faith.
THE war; continues this profound
seer, has thrown clear light upon
Christianity and now all the little
apologize and progressive" Chris
tians see that the world has never
reacted against orthodox Christianity
as such, but only against the bowel
less unbelief which mssqueraded as
Christianity. We have had so many
ministers who talked about Christ as
they would have talked about kipper-
ed herrings-with even less enthusi-
assn. But now any one who speaks or
writes about Christianity after this will
have to know that he has to do with
