spreading the Good News. Acts
SHALT; John 1:3542.
An example of personal evangelism
is set for us in the first chapter of the
Gospel of John Here we see Christ's
disciples, not content with having ac-
cepted Him as Friend and Master,
straightway setting forth to bear their
testimony and striving to gain new
apostles for the Lord. BY following
their lead in bearing witness of the
love and guiding power of Christ, We
the kingdom of God.
a quiet word, spoken at the right
moment, may turn a life that could
not be moved py flights of oratory.
Behind testimony for Christ must be
friendship with Christ and sincere in
terest in the person to whom the word
is spoken. Such a love-winged utter
ance needs no adornment of rhetoric:
it is enough that a friend stands be-
tween his divine Friend and seeks to
introduce to Him an early friend It's
the introduction that counts, and not
its form.

Weighed words weigh.

If the friends of Christ would pub
licly stand for all that is friendly to
Christ, no good newspaper or educa-
tlonal institution or other Christian
enterprise would ever have to COM
promise it's principles. Sometimes a
letter to the editor may be as much
of Christian testimony as sermon.

Ing the union shop at a public
forum in this city, Judge Jefferies
said:
When last Sunday s speaker an
nounced that we had progressed
under the present system, that we
had better wages, shorter hours
and cid age pensions, he was telling
the truth, brt | would like to ask,
who are we ?
i am convinced that all this leg
islation has come through the pres
sure and influence of the working
man and without organized labor
he could bring no pressure to bear.
"The speaker also declared that
labor bas a right to organize, but
of what use is organization unless
it has weapons with which it can
sustain itself and do something.
Is 1t merely to organize and look
at itself or pass remarks about the
weather? 1t must be equipped
with some kind of power if it is to
be of any use. F"

EVILS OF ADENoIDs.
ThsTs orOwths Are Real Msnaes 70
the Health of a Child.

ThsTs Growths Are a Real Menses "a
the Health of a Child.
Not every child that is backward at
school, that breathes through his
mouth, has dull eyes, short upper lip,
prominent upper teeth or has q drawn,
tired expression about the face has
adenoids, says q state board of health
bulletin. But this condition should lead
a parent to suspect adenoid growth,
and it should not be dismissed till q
thorough examination has proved that
such is not the case.
Adenoids are a small, soft, reddish
growth which comes in the back part
OF the throat where the nose and throat
toin. child who has adenoids
breathes with his mouth open, has fre-
Quent colds and may have earache Of
ten or become deaf. 1t is not infre-
Quent that adenoIds dull the expression
of the eye, destroy the resonance of
the voice and distort the facial express
sion so as TO produce a blank, idiotic
stare. They hinder mental develop
ment by interfering with proper physi-
cal development. For that reason "re-
peaters" at school are frequently said
10 be afflicted with adeno4ds.
The best time to remove adenoids is
when they are first recognizable to a
physician. If they remain longer they
do harm. They cause child to have
'colds" often and make him more sus-
ceptible to diphtheria scarlet fever
measles and whooplng cough. Further
more, If he gets any of these diseases
they are likely to be severe with him
and leave him even worse afflicted.
Cold, fresh air breathed through the
nose is needed to prevent adenoid
growth. 1t is needed also to prevent
sdenoids returning after an operation.
Fresh air taken In through the nose
nrevents as well as cures sdanoids.

Oppose COmpuIsIon.

Albany, N. Y March 80. As
semblyman Meyers labor resolu-
ton requires those employed by
any public service corporation to
sign an individual contract of EN-
ployment, and If the employe quits
his position without the consent of
the corporation he is guilty of a
misdemeanor and may be jailed for
one year ard subject to fine of
$500.
This echo of the last century was
opposed at public legislative hear
ing by trade unionists and railroad
brotherhood representatives. One
of the latter declared:
This bill does not prevent
strikes. 1t makes them illegal and
by doing so provides plenty of work
for the state police you are aoout
to create. You can start building
more jails and penitentaries now,
for American citizens will exercise
their rights and liberties guaran-
teed them under the constitution
and will not submit to any such
law
