ON BEING USELESS.

Why is IL that people do attend
church? This is question the answer to which
the clergy has sought almost from time immemo-
rial but the solution from press reports
has at length been found.
AT meeting this week in wisconsin. of the Pres
byterian New Era movement. DIR. Joseph X. Vance,
leading member of the Presbyterian clergy and
chairman OF the organization seeking closer de-
nomination alliance throughout the church world,
In original diagnosis OF the situation located
the trouble In the church member himself He is
reported saying that IL automobile had as
many useless parts as the average church has
less members. II could not be induced to run down
hill This rather peppery accommodation of the
average church goer coming from high source.
may safely be taken authoritative There are
too many useless church members
1t might prove interesting to look into this ques-
ton of useless church members with view of
classifying them and If possible poining out the
peculiar characteristics by which identity may
be ascertained. studying their habits, etc. Inter-
esting this would doubtless prove. it would be

General John j. Pershing, American cltlzeh
VIII big things in the past few years. Is
quoted saying of his ordinary habits:
don't let anything worry 1 try to do
a good days work, and when it is finished
go to bed. And what is more, go to sleep
That isn't too much for anyone and everyone
to remember Nor is difficult to apply the same
course to daily duties nightly repose. Work
and worry do not dovetail. Work, without the
worry, which is ninety nine per cent habit gets
things done Worry hinders performance ana
unfruitful of result. Trying TO 90 d
good days work" is entirely commendable And,
when it is DONE to bed and rest, to sleep without
worry that robs slumber and repose of desired
beneficial results. of renewal of physical strength
and mental vigor.
Combining worry with work and with sleep
makes wrecks of human beings. And in the pro-
cess no work, under the strain of worry, is effi-
cient and productive of results as If given with
the absence worry sleep is robbed of its restor-
alive power when accompanied with worry. Elm
mate worry from work and from sleep and see
the more desirable results of work done and the
greater refreshment of mind and body due to sleep
unburdened with
People that is some of them, say that it
is impossible for them not to worry. Nonsense.
A habit matter of cultivation; SO Is Worry.
And never accomplishes anything worth
while nothing that has made the individual bet
ter and happier and the world fairer place in
which to live the worry and see how
much easier becomes necessary work and now pro-
ductive of more desirable results.
General Pershng stands before the worio ac-
claimed for the doing of big things in a mastertui
way Could he have brought honor to himself
and victory to his legions of brave Americans uh-
der his command If he had given his days and his
rivbts 10 worry? Not at all likely. His worries
would have weakened his strength and by COM
munication to those whom he led and commanded
would have worked only for weakness for his own
undoine and for the decentralization of the army OF
which he was the acknowledged leader He ban
ished worry gave his full strength of mind in his
hours of wakefuness, the stupendous task at
hand and then renewed that strength by unworrieo
sleep when the proper time came.
THE Man that General Pershing adopted is just
as practical in affairs of every life, and
II practiced would avoid much of the friction, do
away with much of unproductive toll, make NE
HAMMER for individuals discarding worry and for
those with whom they come in contact. The Per-
sh,nr pIan is worthy of trial.-Times Union.
