lens of human life, the forms of reli.
gion are hollow mockery, the spirit
an impregnable fortress.
| plead not for modification of
form but for its subordination to the
spirit; not for the abolishing Of Or
dinances, but for their voluntary
rather than obligatory observance;
not that these solemn rites should be
set aside, but that they should be
entered into as a sacred privilege, an
act of loving conservation, rather than
submitted to as an enforcible law.
So and so only will their real beauty
and meaning be understood and their
true purpose realized,
AS we face, then, the worlds need
of great spiritual leadership, that hui
mainly may be brought into vital,
daily relationship with living God,
and that all the forces of righteous
ness may be united in an eternal war
fare against the forces of evil, we
ask again the question-"What Of the
future of the Christian Church ?"
This is the answer which l give you:
If the various divisions of the
church as it is organized today catch
the division, have the breath, the toll
eiance, the courage, and, setting aside
all nonessentials, all barriers, will
stand upon the bedrock principles OF
Gods love and Christ's living spirit,
mot satisfied until the church is the
church of all good men and women,
until all good thoughts and deeds are
laid at the feet of the Lord of all
good life," the Church of the Living
God will come into being, ushering in
new era of Christian unity.
What an opportunity! What a
privilege! What a duty! In Gods
name ask, does anyone dare let it
pass?

symbolic meaning and one of great
helpfulness to many people. Christ
himself was baptized; He preached
baptism; He commanded His discip-
les to baptize; He regarded baptism
as an expression of affection between
the soul and the Savior He did not,
however, make it condition of church
membership, as is commonly assumed,
or look upon it as an act relating the
believer to the church; nor did His
disciples. Baptism was made the door
of the church by man, such action be-
ing based on differences from the
words of. Christ and His disciples.
The Lords Supper, typifying our
assimilating Christ's very body and
blood, that we may be more like Him,
is also an ordinance rich in symbolic
beauty. Far be it from any true fol-
lower of Christ to minimize the spirit
ual value of these symbols. In this
day of materialism they should be
preserved and guarded with increasing
Jealousy, for they foster the idealism
of our religion.
In the face of the great problems
of sin and evil with which the world
is confronted today, can we imagine
that were Christ to come to earth
again He would regard the observ-
ance or non-observance of these and
other ordinances and individual be-
liefs, or the manner in which they are
observed, as of sufficient Importance
to justify the separation into rival
factions of good men, all members of
His spiritual kingdom, and contro-
versy among them about doctrines?
Can we fancy Him giving His APP
prevail to such course, which re-
suits too often in relaxing the war;
fare against the common enemy, sin,
to oppose which Christ came to earth,
and in causing men to forget their
common responsibility, the needy bro
Their, to help whom Christ gave Him.
self so constantly?
Let ordinance, creed, ritual, form,
biblical Interpretation, theology, all
be used to enrich worship, or to bring
the believer into a fuller understand
ing of Him whom we worship, as each
individual or separate church may
find them helpful toward that end.
But God forbid that they should ever,
any of them, divert the attention from
or be regarded as substitute for that
personal, spiritual relation between
the soul and it's God which is the es-
sence of true religion.
God forbid that they should ever,
any of them, be allowed to cause di-
visions among the followers of Christ
or be set up as barriers at the door of
any branch of the Church of the Liv-
ing God.

LOOK AFTER THE CHILDREN

How many children who do not
study or even play naturally are un-
consciously held back by defective
eyesight or hearing? We are just
coming to realize in this country the
wrongs we have committed in not dis
covering that these physical defects,
with adenoids, diseased tonsils and
sometimes abnormal growths which
press on nerve centers, are the causes
of many children's inability to keep
up with the classes at school and
their playmates on the school ground.
1t is unlikely that these ailments of
the little folks will be discovered ex-
cept in q few isolated cases unless
there is some inspection of each child
in the school by physicians, who not
only discover but can at once admin
lister proper treatment. Unless the
leaders of community initiate and
maintain system of school inspec-
ton many will be the little sufferers
who will be prevented in later years
from taking their rightful places in
commercial and civic life.
In Kansas City during the week of
May 1922, Miss H. Ida Curry, who is
the superintendent of children's
agencies of the New York State Char
tiles and Associations, will speak at
the National Conference of Social
Work on Establishment and Mantle
nance CT Standards of Child Welfare
in Rural Communities. 1t will be of
great value to this community to have
some of it's leading citizens attend
this Conference and bring back to
Pennington ideas and plans for the
betterment of our children.

HOW WILL VOTES BE CAST ON
THESE TWO AMENDMENTS?

Two petitions to amend the State
Constitution are now being signed up
in this district. They were prepared
by the Homestead Loan and Land
League, of which Frank P. Walsh is
president. One is a loan and the
other a tax amendment. The loan
measure, if adopted, will give the
State the right to loan any citizen
money TO buy or improve home at
3 per cent interest; and the tax
amendment provides that all public
revenues shall be laid on land values,
income, inheritances and public util-
ity franchises. The tax measure is
almost sure to be opposed by the big
land owners and that will make it
one of the big issues in the fall cam
paign.

THE PNEUMONIA SEASON

The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia often
results from a cold. The quicker the
cold is gotten rid of the less the dam

of a cold appears take Chamberlain

used it. Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)

PLACE ROAD EQUIPMENT
IN COMPETENT HANDS

You might as well call on watch
maker to shoe your horse, or take your
fine timepiece to a blacksmith, as to
place some incompetent man in
charge of road machinery. Many
counties make the mistake of employ
ing men to handle tractor outfits who
don't know enough about mechanics
to operate a cornsheller or coffee
mill. There is no economy in saving
few dollars in salary and then pay
out hundreds of dollars in repair bills.

Chicago News.
Some Never Reach Europe.
Some of the irlpostors have never
been in Europe at all some came over
and enlisted in the allied ranks. then
managed by one means or another:
even by downright desertion, to return
to America before ever viewing the
firing line.
Others impersonate the men who are
in France offering their lives in the
fight against the Germans. Sergt.
Frederick linn of Battle Creek, Mich,
the famous aviator-observer, recently
received a copy Of the Hood River
(Ore.) News for July II, 1917, contain
ing a story beginning: "Frederick w.
linn, an American who has seen active
service in the aviation corps of the al
lied armies in France, spent several
DAYS last week in Hood River, an0
those who met him were thrilled by his
stories of aerial combat in the war
zone. Mr.. Zinn came west to find a
half brother and sister, from whom he
has become separated since he went
to Europe. He traced them to Port
land, and was told there that they had
been adopted by Hood River family"
The article goes on at length and
gives some personal details about Ser
seant Zinn which the impostor prob
ably cleaned from news reports. The
real Sergeant linn has no half broth
ers or sisters. He returned to France
from a short leave in America last
March.
Another clipping from Pasadena,

is referred to as a lieutenant and the
Youngest member of the Lafayette
escadrille, who 'shas been very success
full in battling against German war

chronicled." The name of Bryner has
never appeared on the roll call OF the

of the number of battles in which you
have participated"

One Of the men replied that he had
been in II different engagements. Yet
ihe has never once flown over the front.
The other claimed to have had thirty
or thirty-five air battles. The truth is
that he spent seven months with the
LAFAYETTE escadrille, and during all
that time had only about five hours Of
fight and not one aerial duel. He has
been made a first lieutenant in the
United States army on the strength
of his assertions.
