FOLLOWING its annual meeting
r the board OF Religious Educa-
= tion Of the Episcopal church set
itself four primary tasks for the i'm
mediate future. IN so doing It ex-
pressed the view that such tasks are
fundamental to American life at this
moment. and as such are the supreme
needs OF church plans az this time.
The. first one Is TO prepare the
American people fcT the shock that
IS 10 come, as It has come TO other
nations, over losses by death through
the war. The board Is to issue at
cnce a manual for the use Of pastors
and people, containing scripture
promises, and will take up the task
in local churches Of training Chris
tian people and all others in fortitude
and IN substantial faith
A second task that this board deems
vital is TO prepare teachers both those
IN the ministry and those out OF it. TO
present the lessons OF the war in the
light of applied Christianity at home
after the war. Special care win be
given to the training OF young men
in the theological seminaries to do
this work.
A study is now to be entered upon,
preliminary to the third OF the tasks,
10 find OFT precisely what Il Is that
college students want from the
church and how they prefer to have
given to them the things they deem
they want. IN g sense the board viii
seek to bring into the student life
the real worship OF God, forms that
lit best in such worship. and modern
expressions that young men Of today
employ and understand.
Finally, out Of men returning from
the war the board hopes to find
leaders, prOfiting from war exper-
fence, and reauy az ministers and
laymen 10 put the Bible truths into

need Of the church, in its working
part, TO be leaders, and II will see II

more than equal advantage TO the
minister receiving a small salary.

Materials for the Household.

From United States Commerce Reports.
A new book just issued on Materials

every family. 1t IA prepared by the
bureau of standards in popular an
guage to meet the need for reliable in
orInation for home use and will be
especially welcome to all who desire to
manage the home as efficiently as a
Uncle Sam becomes teacher and adj
wiser to every household. Interesting
accounts are given of the great variety
of materials used in building and fur
nishing the home and in the many
minor industries and activities of the
household.
The circular is practical and aims to
stimulate interest in household mater
ials (other than foods and drugs,) to
eXplain their desirable properties, and
to aid in their intelligent selection, eff
fective use. and preservation. A bet
ter utilization of materials will aid the
efficient administration of the home
and promote the health, comfort, and
general well-being of the household.
Home economics is of universal and
permanent concern, and as it's inn
portance is more fully realized it will
become a vital factor in national WELL
being. The excellent instruction in the
subject now given in high schools and
colleges has begun a new era in man.

Canadians Like Z. r.

From the Toronto Mall and Empire.
Even before this war Colonel Roose-
Welt could lave filled the biggest hall IN
Canada. no matter on what subject he
chose to address our people. Since the
war his course has been such as to
change the high esteem in which he was
generally held by Canadians into a warm
feeling of comradeship. We are sworn
brothers IN this war. He has been one of
the stanchest defenders OF the allied cause
since the beginning of tile struggle. He
was one OF the first of leading Americans
to erlaEd that the United States should
join the allies.
No part OF his recent speech was more
heartily cheered than his proposal that
the United States and Canada should now
enter into a covenant to the effect that
in no conceivable circumstances should
any issue between them ever be settled
by force. Colonel Rooseve.t's address was
a message for the English speaking pco-
pie to stand shoulder to shoulder. not
only while the war enJures. but through
that ~perilous time at the end when the
world is to be remodel something nearer
to the hearts desire.
