Joel White had lived to be As years

phanL a lion. tiger, a bear or any Of
the wild beasts kept in geological gar
dens or carried around the country

Joel White bought butter eggs

BY ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Cou1D0
Moody Bible Institute
WORLD RELIGIONS AND CHILD
HOOD.

WORLD RELIGIONS AND CHILD
N NO religious system save that
L Of Christianity does the child
receive any recognition. Mo-
manned seems to know nothing
about a child; heathenism and N.Y.
thology seem to know nothing
about childhood. Their gods were
not born children, nor are they ever
clothed with any sympathy for a
child; they never enter into the
plays of children. o share their
sports. These gods are gods of
terror, gods Of passion. gods of
lust. gods of might, but never gods
Of helpfulness, or of interest In
childhood, and hence make no pro-
vision for children. It is, however,
one of the great elemental facts of
Christianity that its leader and
founder was born in a manger un-
der the law of total helplessness,
and Christianity is the only re-
ligion wherein a child is the basis
and foundation of its faith. Chris
tianity is the age that has recog-
nized the child and teaches that "a
child shall lead Them" that ex-
horts its followers to feed my
lambs" and teaches that we must
become as little children" because
"of such is the kingdom Of heaven"
In the open heart Of the child
the Sunday school is planting the
good seed Of Gods Word. Prob
ably a majority of homes which
give religious instruction revolve
it about the Sunday school lessons.
But the task of training child
hood extends through adolescence
and maturity as we'll. For this rea-
son the modern Sunday school rec
ognizes that it is no longer a school
for children. Starting with the
cradle roll it extends on to the
grave without regard for age or
sex, old as we'll as young, parents
and children; the Sunday school
asks no questions, it includes all.
Nevertheless the chief emphasis in
the Sunday school has been and
must continue to be the teaching
and training Of children. Over the
main entrance to the Childrens'
building at the Chicago worlds
fair were the words, "The hope of
the world is the children This
is true. but it is not more true
than to say. THE hope of the world
is the children trained in the
truths of Christianity" Richard
Baxter contended that in the So
called Christian lands there should
be no adult converts, all should be-
come Christians when they are
young.

DO YOUR BIT"

Many apt phrases have been
coined since the momentous
days of early August, 1914,
when the German legions poured
like a devastating flood down
over the fertile fields of Belgium
into France. Among them is
one homely bit of English slang
that will be remembered long
after more majestic and sono-
rous utterances have been bur.
led in oblivion. 1t appeals to
the man of red blood and staunch
patriotism wherever he may be
found. 1t brings a responsive
thrill to every patriotic Ameri-
can woman.
DO your bit!'
With the entrance of the Unit
ed States into the war the ap.
plicability of the phrase has
leaped across the sea, and it
carries as compelling a message
to every patriotic American as
it does to every one of our new
Allies subjects. It expresses
the keynote of patriotic person
al appeal. 1t meets no welcome
in the heart of the "slacker",
of the man who crouches behind
the lines in safety or hides his
craven body behind the shield
of a woman's skirt, of him who
contributes nothing to the bull
wark his neighbors are raising
to shield him.
To the young man who has
not formed urgent ties of re:
sponsitility is given the oppor.
tunity and privilege to take the
supreme pledge of patriotism by
enlisting in the army and navy.
There will remain behind the
lines many millions of Ameri.
cans who in all probability viii
never hear the thunder of can.
non, and to them is given the
opportunity to render to the Ma
ton a service that will supple
ment and aid the efforts of the
brave men in the army and ma
w. America must set an ex
ample TO the world, so that after
the war is over it may be sale
that the people of diverse bloods
of this great nation were actual
ed by one impulse in an out
pouring of patriotic endeavor
without selfish motives for tn,
good of humanity.
Upon every individual in NORTH
Dakota as one great member O:
a great galaxy of states, who is
not too young, or too enfeeolec
bv age and disability to con
tribute aid, there rests at thi.
time an urgent duty. Though
foreign armies are not trampline
our soil, in one form or anothe,
it is at our thresholds. If w
are laggards-if we do not take
prompt and undivided action
disaster may evertake US. d.
not be a "slacker".
