To Remove Dandruff

Get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour a little into your hand and rub well into the scalp with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of this awful scurf will have disappeared. Two or three applications will destroy every bit of dandruff; stop scalp itching and fall ing hair.-Adv.

3. The Lodge and the Church in
heir Relation to Christ:
The relation of the church to
Christ grows out of allegiance of dis
ciples to Him as their lord, and His
commission to them. His commits
sion to His disciples was that they
should go unto all the world, make
isciulns OF all nations, baptize them,
teach them. If the church is loyal
o Him. it must obey Him. But here
is disturbing question. Did Christ
in giving this commission. command
that all phases of implied Christian
activity be worked out through the
one organization, the church? Shall
re say that all charity shall be or
ranized in the church? Hundreds
Of good men and thousands of dol
lars are given through charitable or
ganization that might not be given
if any one denomination had CON
troll of all charity work. Here, then,
we strike up with the question in our
Introductory remarks, whether or
not spiritual biology incarnates it
self in one or more organizations.
Just as it would be a mistake for
all charity to be organized in one
organization called the church, so
would it be a mistake for all phil
anthropic, humanitarianism, and
charitable endeavors to be organized
in the church. Christ understood
that men would apply religion and
gave to the church as fundamental
task, that of generating religious
ideas rather than making all appli-
cations of religion. Therefore the
church and lodge are not opposed to
each other in their work. The church
is to teach the way of salvation and
foster the spirit of Christ, while
lodges, schools and various organic
ations are to organize for mutual
benefits. This is beautifully illus
trated in the incipiency of your or
ganization, the sacrifice of Damon
for Pythias.

The Lodge and the Church in
Dir Relation to Religion:
Take some misconceptions con-
hing religions:
Ea) Thinking religion is humani-
|ianism, the application of religion

pit for the sap. AS the fruit of
tree is the product of the tree,
not the tree the product of the

ligion is invisible, internal and

(c) Thinking religion is morality.

never pass for religion. Reli-

is not religion.

could not exist. Therefore, the Lodge
lives off of the efforts-the fruit o
the work of the church.
Once this is realized, it is not hare
to answer which makes the creates
contribution to society. The church
is organized to preach and teach the
way of salvation. This is the great
est value to society. The lodge does
not even pretend to do this.
Now, what about the influence OF
the lodge upon man in his Christian
and altruistic duties to society?
wish to make myself plain here, and
voice my position once for all time
relative to the lodges.
(a) An institution that dis.
places or opposes the church OF
Christ is not to be commended tC
any man. Permit me to quote from
a clipping taken from some religious
journal, which voices my sentiments
%. Are secret societies un-
scriptural, and are they ban
said? Would you advise
Christian young man to become
Mason?
"A. | do not know that the
Scriptures are definitely for or
against what we know as secret
societies. Some writer's think
they are. The test of a secret
society should be the same as
the test of anything else. If the
Christian can join a secret So
ciety and still lose nothing of
his Christian character, his 10y
atty to Christ, his devotion to
the church, his spirit of Chris
tan missions, his faith to his
home and children, and keep his
heart and mind in a spiritual
condition, that is the test of
membership in any such society.
The thing for any young man to
do is to test all organizations by
asking all these questions, the
same as he tests his amusements
and his life in general These
societies differ greatly in differ
ent parts of the country and in
different localities. No Chris
tian should belong to any orga-
nization which in any way inter-
feres with his Christian charac-
ter or his deep and growing
spiritual life. If the secret So
ciety helps his Christian life, he
may safely belong to it. If it
hinders it, or in any way retards
his spiritual growth, he should
not join it,

of Damon and Pythias with interest
| for the members of the lodge, but 1t
will no doubt be of interest to 9TH
ers.
Pythias was condemned by a
tyrant ruler to be executed, where
turn home to put his business in or
der and bid his wife and family
goodbye. The tyrant refused him
this permission. Then came Damon
forward and said: Take my life
for bail, and II he return not. let
me die in his stead" The tyfant
agreed to this. The day Of execu-
ton arrived. and Pythias had not
returned. and Damon, true to his
word, came forward to give his life.
The process of execution was put In
order but before it could be carried
out. Pythias, true to his word. had
arrived. The tyrant, noting such
loyalty and friendship, and willing
ness to sacrifice for a friend, par
doned Pythias, and asked to join
their fellowship. And this has been
and is the mission of your lodge. to
organize friendship and fraternity.
In contrast with this sacrifice OF
Damon for Pythias Is the sacrifice OF
Christ on Calvary. Damon offered
to die for his friend. Christ died
on Calvary for those who betrayed
Him, who Knocked. scorned, ridiculed
and cursed Him, while he was dying:
yet dying, HA prayed: Father, for
give them, for they know not what
they do" And this latter sacrifice
is the basis for the work of the
church. not to live for it's members,
but to live, pray and work for those
who abuse it, ridicule it and curse 1t.
Concluding, I ask. what is the
message of Christ to the church and
the lodge? The message of Christ

Camp Mohe- gan is located on the east shore of Gardner Lake, about eight miles from Norwich. Camp Mohegan is under the direction of tlle boys department of the New London Y. M. c. A. This year 1t will be open from June 26 to July 10. There will be an adult leader for every eight boys, and the associa- ton physical director will be In general charge.
 Camp Massapeack owns a plot of aibout so acres, mostly wooded One of the features of the camp is the H. brary, containing som eof the best boys stories, books of outdoor sport, wcodcraft and nature.

There were 1, 1,168,000 reported in 1910 and l,331,0O0 in 1916. and likewise the number of swine has in recent years showed a marked tendency to in crease the number reported in 1900 being 362.ooO while the number in 1916 was 4565o00.
 Further Progress Obvious.
 That further progress can be made is obvious, and the experts are in sub stautiai agreement as to the direction the effort should take. They agree that extreme specialization and ex- treTne reliance on a special product is dangerous; they see the possibility of many improvements in farm manage ment; the need of a fuller consider ation by each farmer of his entire farm economy and the better utilfza- ton of his labor throughout the year and of Improvements in processes of production and in the marketing of farm products.
 "The experts believe that there might be a revival of the sheep in- dustry if the farmers would empsa- size the mutton feature. The raising of sheep from the mutton viewpoint, broadly speaking, never has been att tempted In New England and it seems desirable that it should be.
 The horse industry is likewise at tractive The highest prices paid during recent years for draught horses in the Chicago markets have been paid for horses for use on the potato farms of Maine. It is a little singular that New Enaland farmers have done SC little to meet this demand them selves. IL certainly ought to be possi- ble to produce more of the Morgan horses. The development of this breed in New England achievement it's re- ablishment has been one of the most interesting features of New Eng land agriculture. It is a very suit able horse for the rough, hilIy lands and will keep in condition under ar environment where heavier draught horse would suffer.
 New England has long been knowr as a center of poultry production ana I thereis every reason to believe thai the poultry industry will develop tc a greater extent in the future"
