lem of modern religious life and
CHRISTIAN education in the church. He
said the church needs a large back
ground for intensive work He be-
heVed that religious teaching in our
schools was considered unnecessary by
some educators, but the speaker stat
ed that religion and morality are in
separabIy connected Religion is the
Hrst thing necessary to produce a good
life in a community.
our children are hungry for those
thlngs that will develop their religious
nature Christian nurture is a pro-
gram of church life in religion.

kev' Bishop Brewster who gave a most
interesting address on the same sub

PAD to minor things. The child some
tunes gets nearer the truth by intuition
IMAM we do and yet we must train the
chlld and give it religious training
me fundamental start in this train
ing is that we must believe the chr;st
comes with a message. Tho chi,d
must be made to understand that he
is partaker in great stream of hu-
man experience.

LOWING TO THE WAR"

q NICE the United States
S arranged for the pur-
chase of the Danish West
Indies for $25, 900, 900 various
residents of Nicaragua are
growing FESTIVE over a deal
made by them with this cOun-
try but not yet fully closed
whereby Nicaragua gives to
the United States certain land
and exclusive canal privileges
for the sum of $4,000 900. The
money has not yet been paid to
the Central American govern
ment and Nicaragua would
like to raise the price. The
sale of the St. Thomas islands,
however, carried sovereignty
with the deal whereas Eicara-
qua has merely bargained to
give this country an exclusive
right to interoceanic canal con-
struction. Therefore it may be
surmised that Uncle Sam will
not tolerate any advance in
price, even though Nicaragua
may argue that owing to the
war and the h. c.. l. a higher
figure should be named.
The house vert into revolt
against excess lobbying; the
legislators themselves wish to
have a little voice in legislative
affairs and grow tired of hav-
ing all their work cut out for
