 Do you go to church regularly or are you like the rest us-careful about the childrens getting off to Sunday School and careless about attending church yourself except Eastern Sunday?
 Whats the matter with us men and women to- day? Our parents were churchgoing folk but stay home to read the Sunday paper to pre- pare the Sunday dinner or to play golf We say generation ago and that need Sunday for com plete day. But is that true? When you think it over, who worked harder longer hours more unremittingy than parents? AS matter or fact didn't they work harder and have fewer easy pleas than we? And they went to church regularly
 The churches behind the times, we say. The sermons stupid, the clergymen men who would be failures in any competitive walk in life. The mod church, say, should be social center, and the minister good business Then, say, we would to church
 But would we? A distinguished author in dis tngushed book year tried to prove that the coming religion of the world would center cial service We all read that book avdy We thought it might contain the Answer to the Question But 1t didn't. It left cold.
 For there is but question, and it all power of the church with rests Is there eternal life? And there is but by which the church can hold us-yes! All the social service in the world will not satisfy this essential and universal hunger could not keep from packing the church where that found.
 Modern science has tried to make skepcs of us 1t rests with the churches to show us how modern able wonders of God. It with the churches to keep our souls open to the flow of the Cosmic Soul that controls the universe
 A Social Center will make a church A business man will never make preacher. And the churches will die. We need them as we need nothing else in life; just old fashioned church with the singing and the minister, but with that makes our modern eyes God.

GOOD IN ILL WINDS

The abandonment of Petrograd for Moscow as capital Russia practically decided has been prognostcated and spoken of as being a wise course not only because Petrograds occupancy by Germany would of great military importance, but also because there is less sedton in all other parts or Russia than in Petrograd. The removal of the capi- tai and the capture of Petrograd might convince the ignorant nteectuas of the present capital that the only peace with Germany is to fight TOT it. and that the only way to secure freedom is to refrain from trading their birthright for German as surances of brotherly devotion.

her photograph Is sufficient.
sShe is 20 years old and has been a
suffragist for practically that entire
period. A year and half ago she es-
tablIshed a legal residence in California
SO that she could become woman vot-
