BUSINESS IN THE CHURCH.

There is no human institution that

an unbusinesslike way. Nobody is GO
ing to seriously maintain the contrary.
Notwithstanding their divine origin
and purpose, the churches are human
Institutions and must he conducted ac-
eording 10 sensible and approved busi-
ness principles or they cannot prosper
Spirituality is the chief component OF
religion. but spirituality will not ac-
in practical endeavor. God does not
expect us to stand still and see things
mysteriously directed to carry on the
work without us doing our part. Spir-
ituality is the moving power, but un-
less q motor is connected with the ma
chinery II is intended to run II ex-
pends Its power uselessly. Revlvals
have n good effect, but their eff
riency is largely transitory and is
wasted unless supplemented by every
| lay persistent activity OF those who
wish to see people saved The revival
that counts is the one that continues
S65 days In the year. and 1t must not
be solely an appeal 10 the emotions,
but an incentive to useful, practical
endeavor.
The word business, as applied to
churches has a discordant sound. not
because 1t has n right to be, but be-
sause we misunderstood what bust
ness Is. We usually mean the attend
Ing TO money matters, the raising OF
funds for one purpose or another. and
the agony OF collecting unpaid pledges
and calling for special donations.
Nothing can be more fatal to spirit
Iuallty in a church than the constan,
holding up Of the almighty dollar be-
fore singy or impecunious congre-

church members IL they have to be
reminded OF their duty too often. But
what business really means Is not
money alone, but the translation OF
genuine piety into intensive, sys-
tematic and tireless action. Most
church members seem to think they
have done their duty when they have
paid their dues and attended church
regularly, leaving all the intensive ac-
tivlties 10 the preacher and the church
officers. why should not each church
have live, practical, sensible organ
ization within itself that would put
every member TO work about the
church's business OF saving souls. just
as great business concern has its
army OF employees to look after the
details OF the enterprise in It's differ

the spirituality OF n church like keep

Some things are evident: To make

the number Of those who are 'doers
Of the word and not hearers only" TO
Increase the number of those who at

number of those who are led to wor-

preached; to increase the attendance
at Sunday school Is TO bring a larger
number OF children to the place where
they learn the way of life; TO double
the number OF accessions is TO pre-

THE ART OF BEING STILL.

The editor of Judge pertinently re-
marks that having nothing TO say
ought not to condemn a man. And 1t
won't-if he has anything to keep still
about There are two very valuable
things in this world-things that are
worth saying and things that are
worth keeping still about until later.
All Of which is very good philosophy
and we'll worth taking to heart and
putting into practice. This Is an age
OF many words. AS Solomon once
said "Of the making of many books
there is no end" Solomon was not
acquainted with newspapers or he
would have added clause for them.
We Of the twentieth century are over
whelmed every day with a flood or
words Many forcible things that
might be said have lost their force
because the mind has become hard
ened to shocks and sensations. II
takes verbal dynamite to arouse the
ordinary citizen from the monotony Of
his daily round Of tasks and worries
-PhiN osSNNs''
for us the most intricate subjects in
all lines Of thot. We pay little atten-
ton to them, for. we have come to
take their preachments as a matter
Of course. So that in al. this babel
of men with nothing to say multiply
ing words endlessly for a salary. we
have to listen carefully to detect when
the man with a real message speaks.
There are many things worth say
ing. and they ought to be said at the
right time and the right place. There
are many other things that are worth
keeping still about. at least until the
saying of them will do some good to
the world and help humanity to rise
other things which 1t is advisa BILE to
keep st!ll about, because the saying of
them Is little short of a crime in the
multiplication of the troubles and sor-
rows which humanity is called on to
hear. Many men have won fame by
their ability to keep silent, and 1t is
characteristic c of such men that when
they did speak people listened at
tentively to what they did say, while
the man whose voice is heard on
every occasion gets to be a chestnut
and his sayings are given little con-
sideration. To sum it all up the man
who has a message that will benefit
his fellow-beings is guilty of crime
| IL he keeps his mouth shut, but the
man who speaks to hurt should be
muzzled.

BUDS OF PROMISE.

Tulsa county Is proud OF her fair,
proud OF the fine display that crowded
It's buildings. proud OF the fine cattle
and splendid products that gladdened
the eye. proud of the men and women
who made this great free fair possible
and contributed t5its brilliant success.
But most Of all Tulsa is proud Of its
babies. King Baby" was easily the
monarch Of all he surveyed during
fair week. and the baby contest was
easily the crowning feature OF the
whole affair. Not all could be per-
feet babies. not all could win prizes.
but the fact that they were there and
did their best 10 reach the reward OF
perfection speaks highly for the moth
crs Of Tulsa county and promises
great things for the coming genera
ton OF Tulsa people. For these tiny
girls and boys who laughed and cried
at the TO them. mysterious perform
ances OF the examining physicians are
the men and women who In a future
day will control the destinies Of this
commonwealth and will make or mar
the good reputation OF the pride city
OF the southwest.
Il would have seemed strange to our
.grandfathers to have held a competi-
ton OF this kind Children TO them
were mostly only things 10 be toler-
ated because they were necessary in
the scheme Of human affairs. Any
way they got thru the perilous days
of Infancy was sufficient for the
world was relied upon to give them
the rough usage needed to give them
sturdlness and stability when they
grew up. The physical, even, was
frowned down upon TO some extent as
something TO be kept behind closed
doors and in no way to be open TO
the public. But a new era Is upon us.
Physical excellence, as we'll as every
thing else in this day and time, is
subjected 10 measure and rule. II is
an object nowadays 10 raise the best
babies possible, and in doing so we
are providing for making the world
tHt btHN II can bt Ultut. me uts-
tlnies not only OF nations but of hu-
manity rest upon the kind OF babies

tainments.
All hail to Baby Dalious and the
other babies who came out with the
stamp OF official approval, and all hail
q the numerous other babies who
tried for the prize. And all hail
u the mothers OF Tulsa county who
contributed this much to the progress
q: .he human race toward n neart
degree OF perfection by bringing their
babies in TO take the tests. Preserve
10 us the spirit which moves the par
ents OF this day and age to regard the
excellence OF their offspring as a great
desideratum, even greater than the
excellence Of their high-bred cows and
horses. Prize stock has long attracted

FIND A GREAT VOLCANIC AREA

The Region OF Mount Katmai Has
Been Explored for the First Time.
A telegram has been received from
Kodiak. Alaska. in which Robert Il.
Griggs. director Of the Mount Katmai
expedition. announced his safe re-
turn TO civilization, together with the
tidings of the expeditions complete
success In its scientific Investigations.
Doctor Grigg's message declares
that, in the light OF the expediton's
sand Smokes will stand as the first
wonder Of the world. Instead of ten
thousand smokes, as the vast vol
canic area In Alaska Is now known,
the valley has literally millions of ac-
tive vents In the space of a hundred
square miles.
The survey Of the exploration party
proves that Katmai Is the greatest
crater on the face Of the globe. being
and $500 feet deep. The party also
discovered a mud river II miles long.
and mapped 1.e00 miles Of territory
hitherto uncharted. Two thousand
photogra phs of the great volcano and
the contiguous territory were secured
and complet, collection Of plants,
insects, birds and geological data Is
being brought back to the United
Sta tes by the expedition. which will
reach Washington about October 8.
Gases from the vents are also being
brought back for chemical analysis.
This expedition set sail for the
Mount Katmai region from Seattle
May 2s, fully equipped in eevry par
ticular to complete the work begun
by the society's earlier expeditions Of
1913. 1915 and 1916.
Prior to the great Katmal eruption
of June, 1912, practically nothing was
known Of this great Alaskan volcanic
area. The explosion Of thai year was
one Of the most terrific In the history
of the world. The quantity Of mate
rial thrown from the Katmal craze.
was vastly greater than that which
resulted In the projection OF the
Island OF Krakatoa out of the bed Of
the Pacific ocean.

Frequent Shaves Now.
Women in pink overalls were tried
as a last resort OF the Tri-City Barber

The deadlock was broken. The po-

J. b. Nicely, dean OF the college.
paid strict attention to his cash regs-
ter. which kept up an almost inces-
SAINT ring as the artificially created
patrons passed IN a steady stream in
and out Of the shop.
Nothing wrong at ALL" Mr.. Nicely
assured Richard Elliott. patrolman.
who had been detailed to investigate
the crowd at Fifth and Main streets.
Competition was little keen and
we decided to give our patrons some
thing new"
The Innovations popularity was un-
questioned. Every no rth side man dis
covered. Immediately he heard the
news he was In need OF hair cut
or a shave. The six chairs presided
over BY the girls never lacked custo-
mers, while the men students. their
chairs vacant. looked on.
All the girls wore their hair bobbed.
Their overall garments were suit at
fairs OF pink chambray, with pockess
that caught some falling hair and the
tips. and a pink belt. Mr.. Nicely told
Patroiman Elliott he would have four
more at work Monday. It was infor-
nation the patrolman didn't receive
pleasantly.
He went out Of the shop. drove the
crowd away again and started to the
station. When he reached the city
hall Elliott looked back.
The crowd had gathered again,
larger than before.--Kansas City Star.
