The great responsibility OF the
church is to make men. according 70
the Rev Herbert F. Randolph, pastor
OF Grace NJ. f. Church, In answer to
what he characterized the criticism

cause Il has a greater business TO do.
The mission Of the church is 10 make
men, something that no other institu.

In referring to the answers he had
received from upwards OF 100 corre-
spondents DR.. Randolph said IN part.

The Rev. L. Franklin Smiley, pas
tor OF the church. in introducing the
speaker, called attention 10 the work
of the organization IN Wilmington, and
at the close OF the service asked for
an offertory for the benefit Of the
work. Captain Louis Boss, local rep
resentative OF the order. occupied a
seat on the platform. General Booth
showed a handsome panel for the Vol
unteers' Hall, presented TO the or
ganization by Samuel T. Ran5one,
one Of the frst workers here.
The subject, Doctor Smiley said
was appropriately "society's dere'

Music was furnished by the choir

Love Of Music Among Birds.

The theory advanced by Darwin
that the singing of birds is merely q
sexual Characteristic, and that their
power Of song has been developed be-
cause only the best singers were prop
agated, is no longer accepted by natur-
alists. Thus Henry Cldys holds that
birds are really motivated by love of
music similar to that experienced by
human beings. In support of this con-
tention he cites the fact that birds will
sing when happy and be quiet when
unhappy and that they will listen to
and initiate superior singers of their
own kind. Cpnaries are trained by
other canaries Of superior musical
ability which are often worth large
sums.

During the past two years the aggre-

increased over so per cent.

What else do we need? Only the

must have men and women with the
ability Of body and mind, and with the
will to strive and achieve: and we
must have citizens with the intelli-
gcnce and civic interest to deal with
problems of state-with what is called,
sometimes with mistaken contempt,
politics. In other words we need men
and women of the type who can solve
the problems of actual life, both in
dividual and social. TO develop such
human material is the business of cdu-
cation, and especially of the schools.

THE STATE INSTITUTIONS.
Our state is apparently entering up
on an era Of wonderful progress in
material things-in agriculture, mining,
business of all kinds. We have the
natural resources, the soil, the climate,
the mineral deposits, the forests. Per-
