Don ( Be a Hypocrite.

The Rev. C. Raymond Isey of the Second
English Lutheran church unmasked contempt
IDLE form of hypocrisy last Sunday in his sermon
when he said:
Don't join the church because you think it
would be an asset to your business. Don't join
because of the responsibility of being member
of a church.
The pastor was right in his positive assertion
that if man joins the church, he ought to join
it because of religious consideration. A man
who becomes member of a church merely for
a business consideration is the rankest kind of
hypocrite. In the days of the apostles, a man
named Simon wanted to become member of the
church so that he might increase his business
as sorcerer. He was the first church CRATER
The church is better off without hypocrites of
this kind than with their membership, their
money, their influence and their cooperation.

Religious Growth IN Richmond.

We often measure only the achievements OF a
city in its industrial and financial aspects, over
looking the sure and certain progress that IS
being made in religious and moral way. The
Rev. E. G. Howard, retiring pastor Of the First
English Lutheran church, reviewing the religious
growth in Richmond since he began his pastorate
thirteen years ago, laid the following facts before
the Ministerial Alliance:
There was no Y. M. G. A., no United
Brethren church, no West Richmonds Friends
meeting and no Central Christian church. Three
evangelistic campaigns have been conducted, two
state Sunday school conventions have been held
here, two house-to-house visitation campaigns
conducted, and several laymen's missionary con-
ventions have been held"
His review suggests that the churches have
grown in the last decade, have shown enterprise
and have contributed to make Richmond better
city in which to reside.

Motion Picture Exposition.

The movies will not be outdone by automo-
biles and flowers. Men who have made possible
feature films seen by millions of patrons, famous
stars of the movie world, and others who have
aided in advancing the industry, are working to
make record success of the first national motion
picture exposition to be held in New York next
month. The exposition emphasizes to what an
extent the industry has grown in few years.
Motion pictures have become form of enter
tainment whose appeal is as general as the public
itself. Persons of all walks of life, of all pro-
fessons, of all stations attend the shows. For
relatively small admission price, the poor man
may today see famous actors and actresses per-
form in plays that formerly only the rich could
attend. Films are shown that appeal to all tastes
and desires. The person who likes the melodrama
or the wild west type with vivid plot action, has
no trouble in finding movie house that offers
this STYLE To him who enjoys pastoral and do
nestle scenes tranquility and repose other
houses offer films in keeping with his taste.

Preventing the School Into a Club.

Columbus, Ohio, is agitated over the installa-
ton of pool and card tables in club room OF one
of the school buildings of that city The prin-
cipal of the school installed the appurtenances
usually associated with social club OF adults
and is defending his course against the attacks
of many Disguised patrons.
The principal bases his action on the ground
that club life ought to be encouraged in the
schools and that pool and cards may be utilized
as educational factors.
A game of pool or of cards is in itself moral,
but when this form of amusement becomes an
established adjunct of the school it becomes a
mighty questionable innovation.
Children go to school to be trained. Schools
ought to fit children for lifes battle and not for
llife's amusements and recreations. Too much
time is frittered away as it is, without teaching
rand encouraging the youth in the polite indoor
sports of Kelly pool or seven-up. The serious
business of education ought not be interrupted
with amusements.
: The purpose of education is to instill disci-
pine and to inculcate high endeavor Pool and
cards never yet made a man high thinking or
brought him fortune. A good educator need
not resort to billiard balls and pack of cards to
keep his pupils interested in their work.
Our boys need less coddling and pattng on
the back by soft-minded individuals and more
stern discipline and real training. Mawkish SEN
timent has made a fool out of many an adult.
It's application to boys in the formative period
of life will tend only to make them feel like cheap
heroes and mollycoddles. The boys of Columbus
will get much more benefit from an army ser
geant teaching them obedience than from prin-
cpal instructing them in the gentle art of making
difficult shot or of playing a good hand Let
the sentiment and gush go overheard; substitute
some masculine stuff that comes straight from
the shoulder.

It's Easy If You Know DR..

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
Of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
1ious look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent
of all sickness comes from inactive bowels
and liver.

Ohio, perfected vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil TO act on the liver and
bowels, which he gave to his patients for
years.

J. d. @. Tells
Story of Second
Hand Machine

Farmer Simons bought chug-chug,
Second-handed cuss.
Bout demolished when he got it
Made an awful fuss.
Sounded like traction engine
Running DER the pike;
Made but little better Roadway
Than a lowgeared bike.
Had a crouch at one of his nelShbors,
Thought he'd run bluff
BY running down past his house
And making her chug and puff.
Started out to pull off his stunt
Throwed her in high gear;
footed his horn both long and loud
To make his neighbor hear.
Lost control and hit the ditch;
Bounced over the steering wheel;
Came to earth square belly-buster,
Over in his neighbours field.
Neighbor came and helped him up,
Then brushed off his clothes;
Washed his hands and face and put
Court plaster on his nose.
Helped him look the chug-chug over;
Found a broken dash;
Spokes were splintered, axle bent,
Each tire with an eight-inch cash
Top was broken, tenders twisted,
Crushed was the steering gear,
But when he found she'd lost her plug
He swore bit, fear.
He looked at the wreckage for a while
Walked round the old machine,
l. coat
his pants,
And touched off the gasoline.
He walked from the scene out to the
road,
Stopped, looked back, said farewell
You dirty, stinken no count junk pile
You can just go to ---.

Help Preparedness Along.

officers will impart the rudiments of military
training to men who believe in being prepared to
defend our country against an attack by a hostile
nation.

Don't Let a Cold :
Get q Good Start

The way to check a cold is to fight
it from the first. Even the worst
maladies often are easily conquered
if attacked early enough. Colds may
lead to asthma, bronchial troubles
and pulmonary affections. In the
treatment of these one of the first
needs is to build up body resistance.
Eckman's Alternative often has as
sisted in such upbuilding. AS treat
ment for the troubles named, 1T has
been used for more than twenty
years. And in many instances it has
effected lasting relief.
AS with any other medicine, it
should be regarded only as a first aid
to right care and hygienic living
and a. safe one. For it contains no
narcotics. opiates or habit-forEaing
drugs of any SORT.
