OLD PRAYERS AND
HYMNS WILL
BY the REV. CHARLES sTELZLE,
Stan Writer on Religious Topics.

ny the REV. CHARLES STELZLE,
Stan Writer on Religious Topics.
A noted English divine protests
against bottled petitions" espe-
cially those that were first corked
up by the fathers" of the church,
who have been a long time dead.
He says that the clergymen of
today need to offer prayers that
deal with life as it is today. and
not as it was in the days OF the
patriarchs who gave US these
prayers.
Stock prayers may be made a
fearful bore-as this English rec
tor puts it-but we aren't tired OF
the Lords Prayer. It's as good as
it was the day II was given to the
disciples.
And such hymns as Nearer. My
God. to Thee" and Rock of Ages"
and How Firm a Foundation" will
live-they'll live because they ex-
press the hopes and aspirations of
the soul.
1t isn't age that makes a prayer
or hymn a bore-it's the fact that
it never was any good.
Some new hymns are so abomin-
able that they are almost sacri-
legious.
They are no better than the poor
est sort OF ragtime.
And we've all of US heard "im-
pTomptu prayers" which were so
poor in ideas and so wretched in
expression that we wondered
whether the Lord wouldn't rather
have something read to Him that
was really dignified and which rev.
erently expressed our desires-evsn
though someone else. who lived a
long time ago, may have written
the prayer-because he felt Just as
we did.
The Psalms are largely made up
of prayers-and we never tire of
them. They were written many
thousands of years ago. but they
might just as we'll have been writ
ten only yesterday, so far as their
application to present-day needs are
concerned.
After all, human needs are always
the same. Abraham felt the same
heartaches and longings of the soul
that his children feel todoy.
And God is ever the same.
Don't let's forget that.
Move needn't be in a hurry to
burn our prayer books and our
hymn books just because they're
old.

CANARIES, GOLD FISH ,
~ AND THE H. c. L.

You can blame It on the war or
anything you wish. but in England
and America the cost of canaries
has advanced more proportionately
than that OF food or clothes or anv
general commodity, and that, as Won
know. is saying a good deal. Most
OF the canaries of commerce come
from Switzerland where canary cuI-
ture is a fine art. The war not
only checked exports. but curtailed
the work Of the breeders.
Today a good canary brings from
IS to 81 in London, and twice that
in Washington. You can get cheaper
birds. but they are not worth much
as singers. In England the canar ,
has supplanted the linnet. not only
as the greatest Of songbirds, but the
most popular. In this country the
linnet plays little part, but canaries
Of quality command anywhere from
S to SIS.
Birdseed has advanced 800 per cent
since 1914.
Goldfish run strong second to
canaries in favor at present. and
are almost as scarce. Dealers re-
port a pronounced demand from Can
ada. in particular, and a disregard
of price.
Within recent years the songbird
and goldfish business Of the great
department stores has grown to be

RED CROSS NOTES

To provide relief for the destitute /
people of Europe the American Red /
Cross has been called upon to furnish /
at least 1000 tons of clothing, shoes !
and bedding, of which amount 1000 .
tons has been assigned to the South |
western Division as its quota. To meet
this demand clothing collection cam
paign has been planned for the week
of March 24-31, and twice as large
a quantity as was raised last year for
the Be1gians must be raised for them
and others
Millions of people who We're driven
from their homes in Northern France,
Belgium, Italy, Roumania, Greece,
Serbia, Montenegro, Palestine, Alban-
ia, Gzecho, Slovakia, Poland and
Southern S1av countries are rapidly
returning. They find villages and
small cities complete waste, and in
the larger cities factories have been
disfnantIed and the equipement taken
to Germany. There are no textile
factories to produce cloth from which
clothing could be made, consequently
clothing is almost impossible to be
had, even to those who have the
money. Such conditions have been
unanimously verified by represe nta-
tives of the American Red Cross and
the European Relief Admins tration-
To meet this emergency the Amer
lean Red Cross is sending 100000
garment to the refugees monthly,
and the American people have been
asked to furnish 10, 1000 tons of cloth
ing to continue this relief.
! This clothing collection campaign
| differs from the one last year in that
| it is for the benefit of the people of
| all the devas ia ted countries and the
| American Red Cross becomes respon-
sib1e for the clothing from the time of
its collection until it is distributed to
| the needy individual in Europe. The
| campaign takes place when Ameri-
| cans are changing from heavy TIC
lighter wearing apparel. Many thous-
! ands of suits, dresses, coats, over
| coats, shoes, blankets, articles of bed
| ding, soft hats, pieces of cloth will be
put away, and much of it will never
again be used. It is from this sur
plus of used clothing and material
that the 10000 tons must come. By
this slight sacrifice Americans may
be of a vitality necessary service TIC
millions of people who have proven
| their worth by enduring the most dis
| tressing privations and cruelties the
| civilized world has ever known.
