More Than Paid the Debt.

Some of us will give a second
thought to the extraordinary achieve
ment of a congregation in Geneva, N.
z, which first built with reckless ex-
travagance a massive graystone
church and then adopted the tithing
system to get them out of their diff
Guilty. The story Is told in Outlook.
When the church was dedicated-if
that is the right word-the debt was
$4,000, and the weekly budget $3.50.
The weekly income was less than $780,
In two years the debt has been re-
duced to $4,000 and the weekly In
come is $500. OF the 1000 members
$50 are tithers. A tither sets aside
one-tenth of his income for Christian
activities. The blessings of happiness
and prosperity which have attended
the people are remarkable. Many
thrilling stories are told. Some church
leaders are deeply impressed by the
success of the system and they are adj
vocating it as a financial policy

pennsylvania Dutch" that curious
combination of German, English and
Yankee, which since Revolutionary
times has developed in parts Of Penn
sylyania and Ohio, Is going into the
discard. For more than a century 1t
has been growing just as languages
always grow, with use. It has cor
rupted words, made words, created
forms, one might say a grammar Of
It's own. It has not, 1t is true, pro-
duced literature. But 1t has been the
speech of considerable number OF
persons in their homes. It long. since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English it never was. In It, stu
dents tell us. are mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gae.
lie words.
Pennsylvania Dutch has been the
dialect Of those German disciples of
Peter Memo who came to America,
some Of them in pre-Revolution days,
seeking religious liberty and political
freedom. Some of these went into
Ohio during Revolution days, others in
to Canada, some as late as Civil war
days. Their religious beliefs contrib
uted to isolation. And they we're large
" an agricultural people.
Now the word has gone forth among
the Mennonites that 1t Is no longer
patriotic to speak Pennsylvania
Dutch and as fast and as thoroughly
as possible these unDeiIevers in war are
discarding the speech Of childhood and
home associations. The task Is not an
impossible one to them, since all OF
nearly all Of them have had some ex.
perience in the common schools. From
among them 5000 young men have
gone overseas to fight the oppressors
Of their ancestors and the barbarians
who threaten their own liberties.
Z The banning of Pennsylvania
Dutch is an impressive object lesson
to all Americans Let's all resolve to
speak English.-Detroit Free Press.

A wee four-year-old was having
Thrift stamps explained to her by her
young uncle, an enthusiastic canvass

A few minutes later her grandmoth-

YOUR S. S. LESSON
william T. Ellis Feature in State
Journal Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, on the editorial page, the
readers of the State Journal will find
the weekly International Sunday
school lesson, written by William T.
Ellis. These lessons have been a reg
ular feature in the State Journal for
many years. and have been used by
Sunday school teachers and pupils in
all parts of Kansas. The lessons ap-
peared formerly in Saturday editions,
but readers asked for more time to
study the explanation of the text and
they were advanced to Friday
In all probability there will be no
church services in Topeka Sunday,
due to the influenza epidemic. The
Ellis lesson should be a more valuable
feature now that Sunday school pupils
and teachers find it necessary to fol-
low out their lessons within the home.
