THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.
r Ea
You remember 1T is easier" says the word Of
God, "for a camel to 60 through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heav
en-"
We think if we had money what wonderful
things we would accomplish. Maybe we would
and maybe we wouldn't. The most giving does

es are not supported by the wealthy. It is the
small gifts that come from the majority that
mount up.
The wealthy are so busy in accommodating more
wealth and in seeking pleasure that they do not
think of the needy. In fact they are not brought
in contact with them.
All of us have something to give. If it is not
money, we have time to give, we have sympathy,
we have love, we have interests, we have kind
ness. Even a smile of encouragement means
something.

1.-THE church that doesn't spend a cent for So
cial service is losing a great opportunity" said a
minister.
Exactly. Churches that are practically shut
six days of the week are missing a great opportun-
ity.
They should be open all the time, and thus
exert a wider induence-seven days week-in
the community.
Not only the churches, but the school build
ings should be open to a greater extent.
The money invested in school plants and
churches should work for the public good to a
much greater extent than at present.
Realization of this is forcing itself upon think
ers all over the country and the day is near at
hand when there will be a genuine awakening.

gresham jeanette Rankin from Montana "stood
for politically can gather valuable suggestions
from articles she is writing on the subject Of
child labor.
And her arguments are forceful and straight
from-the-shoulder.
It is a notable fact that our first woman con-
specializes on social evils rather than
political questions.
This woman congressman is attempting to bet
ter conditions for MISUNDERSTANDING boys and
men.
When women see wrongs they never let up un-
til they are rectified.

In NJ effort to reduce the high cost of meat,
some butchers are said to be mixing sawdust and
other harmless space-flling ingredients with their
sausage. No wonder SOM sausages begin to burn
when you attempt to fry them.

As to possible land fighting, military experts
say it requires about a year to organize and train
, fighting army, and the experience Of England
in the present war squares with that. So, don't
get panicky.
