department of life, and has so entered
into the fabric of things as to become a
potent factor in every department, es-
pecially in the religious life; but educa-
ton alone is not reliable guide III re-
hgious matters. Education would be
more reliable if parents were more
thoughtful in the selection of the school
in which their children are to finish
their school work. We should not for

Only the other daY young man who
had college education, said to the
writer of this article that his school
life and experience had been such as to
unsettle his religious life and beliefs.
The result is: A splendid young man of
unsettled religious conviction. 1t can
not be denied that many of our educa-
tional institutions are responsible for
such conditions as | have here mention
ed. But who is responsible for these
things? Our young people are grad
uating from our high schools full of
ambition to pursue higher education in
the colleges or universities such as are
to be found almost at the door nova
days. The trouble is that parents do
not even know the school nor the course
of study that the child is to pursue.
Many of these schools have even ia
booed the Bible.
A president of Harvard has given to
the world five feet of the BEST Books, "
but on those shelves the Bible is not
found. There are theological seminaries,
some of which are avowe6ly evangeli-
cal, where the Bible is in the curri-
culum but only to be torn to pieces as
an unbelievable book. Indeed,
there are members of the faculty where
our children get their education that

our children that 1.-The Bible is worn

many of our college young men ard
women make shipwrecks of faith when

THE WHOLELIFE FOR JESUS.
BY REV. W. NJ. SHULTZ.

Pastor of St. Paul's M. E. Church.
The Christian life is not only nor
NAL life, but as some one has said, the
life that has not found the Christ is not
at it's best nor can it be until he is
found. No life is truly great that has
not found Christ. Alexander was a
world conqueror, but what is his great
ness compared to the greatness of our
martyred and sainted President Nc
Kinley, who even in the jaws of death
could say, Not my will but Gods will
be done" The best within ones life
will lie dormant until Jesus comes into
that life.
The heart of humanity was created
to be the throne room" of the Christ
true, many souls have barred the doors
against him, but in 50 doing have rob-
bed their lives Of real greatness. Jesus
Christ, the World Redeemer, the only
Saviour, wants to take possession of
our lives, to possess the throne room"
of our souls, to rule and reign forever
there. But he whose right it is to
reign and rule in the human heart is
being dethroned, and robbed of his
authority, and rightful place. "Who
is the king of your life?" is a question
worthy of our most careful considera-
ton. Every heart is ruled by some
thing. Every life is under the sway Of
some scepter. 1t may be passion, it
may be appetite, it may be ambition,
it may be money, 1t may be position,
or any one of thousand other things
that might be mentioned. Any OF
these things may sit upon the throne OF
life, and rule God out of his rightful
place, while sin rules within.
God wants the whole life; there is
such thing as head relIgion;" there
is such a thing as heart religion, y
either of which is failure alone; God
wants both head and heart for his SER
vice. Education has its place in every

Oficialdom seems to agree that We
must be prepared to face war of from
three to five years. 1t is known that
the military authorities are basing all
OF their estimates upon the assumption
that the war will last for three wears.

assent as the duration of the food short

as whole must pay for this war. Like
wise, if excitement ard fear can only
be allayed, the lesson of these five lean
years will be a most valuable one.
America the spendthritt will learn the
value of food. American housekeepers
will learn how to save food that they
have been throwing away. They will
learn how to cook foods that they never
used before. They will learn to keep
foods and preserve them. Food that
has r0tted on farms and in freight
terminals will be saved. Speculation
in foods will be eliminated. And it is
unthinkable that the repeal of war
legislation shall be allowed to undo the
good that may have been accomplished
IN this line. During the next five
years the American people may acquire
the only possible basis for lower cost
of living-a knowledge of the use and
economy of foods.

this is the training they get?
Lord Wellington said; Educate
your children without religion, and you
make race of clever devils"
We are living in time of great stress
IN intellectual things, and nowhere is
the intellectual strain more severe than
in matters of religion. Modern science
and philosophy would apply the mic
roscope of intellectually to the founda-
ton of our religion of Jesus Christ do
not hesitate to have intellectual science
applied to the foundation of our faith,
provided it be reverently applied. But
| say again that the intellect, or head
filled with books alone can not be trust
ed as authority in religious matters.
What the world needs to-day is the
head and heart for Christ, and the
whole life surrendered to him in SER
vice. If this be the experience Of be-
levers, then we will sing:
20 for humble, contrite heart
Believing, true and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
The world needs the educated head
and the converted heart When these
two unite the soul will sing:
"Oh, Lord and Master of us all,
What e'er our name or sign,
We own thy sway, we hear thy CALL
We test our lives by thine!'
