THE CHURCH-GOING HABIT
People are not going to church
as they ought to go. We do not
believe that their failure to do sc
is due usually to the unattractive-
ness of the services of the church
We have worshipped with all sorts
of congregations and listened tc
all kinds of preachers, and it has
been very seldom indeed that we
have found anything that made
the service distasteful. We have
enjoyed some more than others, OF
course, and the profit derived has
been less in some cases than il
others; but there is nearly always
something in some part of the ser
vice-music, prayers, preaching
that is intellectually stimulating
and spiritually strengthening. This
chief trouble, we believe, is that
we are not developing the church
going habit in our children ant
young people. The element Of
duty is not stressed, and mere
childish whim is allowed to fl,
habits that will exercise control
ling influence in later years.

RED CROSS NOTES

Plans for nationwide Red
Cross campaign opening Nov. 3
and closing Armistice Day, Nov.
H. are formally announced by Dr..
Livingston Farrand, chairman of
the executive committee of the
American Red Cross. The prim-
airy object of the campaign, which
will be known as the Third Red
Cross Roll Call. will be to enroll
members for 1920, but there will
be in addition a general appeal
for $l5,000,000 to enable the or
ganlzation to complete its war OBJ
legations at home and abroad.
There will also be local appeals,
where necessary, conducted by
the chapters, to secure funds
needed for local programs.
"The first task of the American
Red Cross is, of course, to COM
plete its obligations to American
soldiers and Sailors" said DR..
Farrand in announcing the pro-
gram. THE organization plans,
as its future policy, to concentrate
its efforts upon peace problems at
home, unless America should
again be involved in war or con-
fronted by great disasters Great
ing special emergencies.
"It is believed that the end of
our foreign obligations is in sight
and, accordingly, the Red Cross is
turning it's chief attention and en-
ergy to the development of a
clearly defined home program,
which already includes systematic
preparedness for disaster relief,
a widespread nursing plan, con-
tinuing home service operations,
first aid instruction, and Junior
Red Cross program, all of which
will depend for their success upon
large and vigorous chapters
