worse every day. I went to another

this being an expert, do you?

them the whole seven days of the
week, while the religious teacher has
them but a few hours when they are
on their good behavior. Morality
must be taught in immediate connec-
ton with violations of it, so that the
example and the precept may come
together. Whether the child is of
Christian or agnostic parents, he can
not learn behavior or conduct away
from the scene where he is to prac-
tice it. He must be observed in order
to be corrected and instructed, and
this does not take place in the church
or Sunday school
What is the agnostic who writes to
The Day Book doing that he does not
impress moral and ethical values"
on his offspring? The idea that only
from religious teachers may these
values be acquired is exploded daily
in the families of thousands whose
children never enter a church or
Sunday school, and are still, to speak
with moderation, the moral equals at
least of those who do. That idea is
a remnant Of the Chicago agnostic's
religious teaching which he should
have discarded with his former belief
in the whale. story. He should not
subject his children to any teaching
he does not himself believe. Truth is
as valuable as ethics.-From The

AGNosTIcIsM DOES NOT FAI


That there is a place where ag-
Mysticism fails" is the point attempt
ed by a Forum correspondent of the
Chicago Day Book, who says:
''Now, while l am convinced in my
own mind that Christianity is false, I
also know it has a great deal of moral
and ethical value. Rational and ag-
nostic societies are for adults. Chill
dren cannot follow the lines of rea-
soning which they map out. Yet
children must be taught moral and
ethical values.
what do rationalists and agnos-
tics have to offer for the training of
children? If these societies have
nothing to offer along these lines the
Christian church, with all its errors,
still has a place in our religious life"
To say that agnosticism fails to
provide moral and ethical value, and
that religion supplies them, is one
thing; to show this to be true is quite
another. Morals are more likely to
be the result of experience than of
teaching.
Children get their morals by OBJ.

The imperial German government. on
account of the friendly relations which
have always existed between the two
great nations. and earnestly desiring to
continue them. wishes to explain the
U-boat question once more to the

time German prize code had alread
been issued, which was entirely. All.

IL believe Il bomb with only a small
amount of explosive was set off just in
side the peroxidal plant, the slight ex-
plosion that followed giving most of
the employees chance to escape. The
second explosion was also caused by a

those of the stores of chemicals in the

noted the words: palace hotel" and

grace that made Rolfe Durward feel
that he had fallen upon an adventure
that reused him magically out of the
dreary routine of life of ennui!
She sat beside him in the seat, a
vivid flash of delight, for the next two
hours, as he took a spin through the
splendid park system of the city.
Then there was a rejection, dainty,
charming to the inexperienced young
girl Her pure delight charmed and
stimulated her fascinated escort.

among the pictures and statuary,
Miss Eunice Ralston began to unfold.
Rolfe was amazed at discovering
the germ of a great artistic genius
in this crude country girl. She for
got that they were strangers, as she
surveyed the beautiful canvasses and
discussed them, betraying a soulful
appreciation of these that amazed
her companion.
There was one picture, little gem
that held her rapt interest for fully
an hour. She went back to it a half
dozen times. She had tried to paint
like that, but, all. how presumptu-
Gus! how daring!
Rolfe Durward carried through his
part, respectfully, attentively and -
enjoyably. They had become so
friendly that his heart experienced a
quick regret when they parted at the
railroad depot. After that it seemed
as if, like some dusty, parched flow
er, his soul had revealed for the
nonce in sweet, invigorating dew!
