IN heaven" IF like the Apostle, he
could say, L am persuaded that he is
able to keep that which | have COM
mitted unto him against that day his
dependency would not have become
50 acute, for being so persuaded, he
would not nave allowed himself to be
overcome by lack of confidence in his
Lord. He can say with sincerity, Yea,
though I walk through the valley Of
the shadow Of death, l will fear no
Evil, for thou art with me- who means
hzhat he says when he repeats the
words. Thy word is lamp unto my
feet and a light unto my path" who
follows in his daily walk the admoni
ton. Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him. will not be easily
persuaded to put his head under his
own wing and NOPE and pout and
grumble. He knows that the salya>
ten Of the righteous is of the Lord,
He is their strength in time of
trouble.
When he who is given to fits of dis
couragement, to attacks of loneliness,
to brooding over past trials, to lugubri-
GUS anticipations of the future, stops
long enough to awaken himself to the
realization that such conditions rome
because of lack Of faith in Him who
has been our dwelling place in all
generations" he will soon recover his
normal condition, and say with the
APOSTLE
Now unto the King Eternal invisi-
Bile the only wise God, be honor and
glory, forever and ever, Amen"
glory, forever and ever. Amen. "-Dal-

TEACHING AMERICANS AMERI-
CANISM.

Published stories in papers the
country over of experiences of mem
bers of exemption boards in examin-
ing men to determine who of those
physically fit shall go to war, reveal
human nature in many absorbing
phases. The men examined range all
the way from the intensely patriotic to
the would-be dodger Some men have
advanced the most absurd reasons why
in their opinion, they should be ex-
enpted. The famous series of ex-
cuses offered by men invited to supper
by certain man." as related in the
fourteenth chapter of Luke, offers not
a tenth of the variety of excuses given
by some young Americans in their eff
forts to avoid war service.
There is one fact that stands out
prominently 1t is that to the indi
vidual in many cases his own affairs
far overshadow the nations affairs
And there is nothing surprising i'll
this. Americans have been accustom,
ed to doing very little public service;
tlcy vote occasionally and they pay
taxes but they are unaccustomed to
look upon themselves as possible
agents of the government in any capa-
city They have their private affairs
to attend to. They think little of d
career in politics, in the civil service
in the army or navy. They go to their
work, or their business, and when tina;
is done, to their homes, expecting
somebody else to run the government
and perform all the service which must
be performed if the government is to
continue, They have long thought in
terms merely of themselves and their
..:ttle family circles, and it is not easy
for them to suddenly turn about and
/ tt ink in terms of the nation. This is
Why their own affairs bulk so much
larger in their eyes than the affairs
of the nation at time when the ma
ton needs millions more men than or
Ginaily are in its service.
Eut every American should under
stand that this is a time when he must
be ready at least to answer the coun-
try's call, at whatever cost to himself.
When hundreds of thousands of men
are being killed in a great war and
when the United States must play the
part of a major participant in it, the
life and fortune of one man are as
nothing. No sacrifice he can make is
too great to be made for his country.
The French nation to man, to a wo.
man. to a child, even-a1though there
are eXceptions-seems to have reach
ed the mental point which causes read.
mess to make every sacrifice needed
t. make victory more certain, The
British nation is not far behind it,
despite stories of strikes and selfish
ness. But the American people seem
not yet to understand the importance.

Medical Inspection of school Chill
dren.

dren.
The medical inspection of school
children is no longer an experiment,
but a pressing necessity 1t is found
ed on recognition of the close con-
.nection which exists between the ply
steal and mental condition of child
rem in the whole process of education.
| 1t seeks to secure ultimately for every
child, normal or defective, conditions
OF life compatible with that full and
effective development of the organic
functions, its special senses, and its
mental and spiritual powers which
constitute true education.
The object of medical inspection OF
schools is not primarily the treatment
Of diseases, but rather their proven
ton One Of the principal objects is
the early recognition of physical de-
fects, such as errors of fefraction, i'm
perfect hearing, diseased tonsils and
adenoids, etc The earlier such de-
fects are detected and corrected, the
better it is for the child Such defects
/ if unrecognized and uncorrected, may
not only prevent the proper progress
Of the child in school, but affect the
whole life of the individual physical
lly, mentally and morally.
1t is the duty of the medical in
~~~~s~%~~~~~~~~N~~
, task 1t may be said, however, that
/ before this war is over few Ameri-
cans will fail to understand the nee
lessity of national solidarity, Of keep
ing alive the feeling of patriotism, OF
readiness to serve the nation any
where, at any time, under any cir
Icumstances and at any sacrifice.
All of this will make it easier to
pass legislation for universal mill
tary training, for the upbuilding and
upkeep of an adequate navy, and for
the storing away of great quantities
o. war munitions against a possible
evil day of need for them. 1t will be
long time before the American peo-
! PIE ever are as comparatively helpless
as they were when Germany set out to
conquer the world And in the future
when the individual is asked to dc
what he can for his country's sake, he
will not be so ready to offer excuses ;
The will think of himself not so much
as an individual whose pleasant ways
Ic. life should not be interrupted by a
national crisis, as an American whose
life, in whatever pleasant ways it may
lead, is always ready to be given in his
country's service Americans are
learning what it really means to be
Americans They may not talk less
about differences anon themselves in
1.-THE future, but all their differences will
vanish at the frontiers.-Savannan
