Should Make Soldiers Happy.

when I was first admitted to the
bar, pictured myself as engaged In
making impassioned addresses to
juries,'' writes Emerson Hough. Later
I found that a lawyer had a great
many things to do besides making I'M
passioned addresses. We picture to our
selves a soldier as engaged always In
the imminent deadly breach, his sword
waving above his head. AS matter
of fact. soldier has to do a great
many things besides wave his sword.
He has to eat, drink smoke, play cards,
sew on buttons. wash, shave-and
read. The soldier who does not read
is neither as good or as happy a SOL
dier as he might and ought to be. 1t
is our duty to make our soldiers not
only good ones, but happy ones. Ergo,
hooks, and plenty of them, for the boys
at the 'front.'

DEFINE CHRISTIAN EFFICIENC
1t Is in Thinking and Doing as Christ
Would Have Us Think
and Do.

Sometimes a word becomes so over
worked that the idea back of the word
suffers because of the place that the
word comes to hold as one to be
rather avoided. Efficiency. as word,
has been so freely used that it is not
strange that one should seek to avoid
It in his vocabulary If he can think of
anything else in its place. But the
chief trouble is in losing track of the
Idea. while we are trying to find
substitute for the word. Christian ef-
fiency is not cold-blooded calculating
mechanism. 1t is simply thinking and
doing as Christ would have us think
and do That idea no word ought ever
to obscure. The most efficient Chris
tan is one through whom Christ can
work with the least friction and the
least change Of Christ's plans. If we
like slipshod ways, it may bring US
to our senses to realize that they are
not Christ's ways.-Sunday School

such safeguards the city would lend
