in the loss of so dear son.
Sincerely Yours,
Fannie f. Bryant, R. A. N. G..

My Dear Mrs Moore

My Dear Mrs Moore
You have undoubtedly before now
received the sad news of the death Of
your honorable son. We are in po-
sition to tell you of his last days, and
wish to take you into our confidence.
Your honorable son, roomed with
us for over four weeks and we held
him in the highest esteem. Il was a
pleasure to grant his every wish dur
ing his stay with us. After his days
work he came every evening at $50
and with few exceptions we enter
tained each other.
During these few hours we observed
that he was an extraordinary and
brave young man. With the greatest
of pleasure and deepest love he told
| us of his dear mother and loved ones
at home.
On January 2l about ten o'clock he
reported himself sick, and returned to
bed. He had fever right from the
beginning which continued each day.
1t was grippe with pneumonia. On
the first day he should have gone to
the hospital, but he absolutely refused
lowing to the good care he received
from us. From January 25 tc the 20
he had high fever and we worked
over him until a. M, applying COM
presses to his head and chest which
seemed to relieve him greatly. The
fever also seemed to leave, and he fell
! asleep.
On Sunday the doctor came and
ordered him removed to hospital,
He was taken to Coblenz, and to Our
deepest regret and sorrow, on We'd
nesday, January the 10Th at BIS a. m.
he departed from this life.
Believe me that my husband and l,
together with you, mourn the death
of your beloved son with heartfelt
sorrow. His memory we shall al
WAYS cherish with highest honor.
With highest respect
| Mrs. Johanna Deitz,
Neuweid, Germany

CHAPTER XIII-My Fiuca"i-l
 Necessities.

CHAPTER XIII-My Financial
 Necessities.
 I remember once a friend who was given to clever observations. 1 met her one day during the winter of Nineteen Eighteen, a iew months after l had gotten fairly into my studies with the New York singing teacher who did so much for me. She was hurryiGS along the street, a music-roll under her arm and a set expression on her pretty face.
 "Why, Eleanor" I said, stopping her. what is the trouble? Your face Is all puckers."
 She stopped at that and laughed. And the puckers strengthened.
 Nothing is the matter with me, Rosa" she said, that money won't cure"
 have thought of what she said many times since that day. My own experiences impelled such thinking. For it was not many weeks before my own funds became low; when there came the temptation so hard to refuse.
 It was a cloudy day and I was at home. practising, when the phone rang. At the other end of the wire was the vaudeville booking agent 1 knew so well.
 What are you doing?" he asked. Such a foolish question. I thought He did not know, of course but I assumed he should have known Toiling patiently over my vocal ex- ercises and studying my opera roles, and without much of a financial re- serve. and completely in the dark as to when I could earn fees with my voice in the new fields I sought Such a foolish question. What was l doing? Worrying! What would any girl do, in such circumstances |?
 But answered in ways other than l felt.

 "Fine!" he said. in his habitually cheery voice, fine for you, Rosa. You are always working. That's what I called up about.

 That afternoon I went to see my singing teacher. whose counsel was as w;se as his teaching of voice.
 You mustn't accept" he said in that serious way of his. "Only a little while longer before the money will be coming in-from proper sources. If you return to vaudeville it may ipjure the chances we have in mind for you"
 But" protested, 'I need the money"
 He laughed. q know. but we must find it in another way. Your vaude- vile days are over. Returning to that kind of singing. even for ths few weeks you would like, can only set you back-in reputation. 1 mean Strange, but musicians and man. agers do not always understand. Not understanding, they arc prone to mistaken aideas. Write to your father. Rosa, anu explain to him..
 I left the studio heavy hearted. didn't want to burden father: times were not good, and his business required his own capital. Yet there was no other way-if I refused the vaudeville offer.
 A few weeks later wrote home and explained the situation. I need not have worried: everything came out all right. And very soon after came my chance to sing for the Metropolitan, and to gain tho coveted contract.
 But I could not forget; nor could I forget how necessary it is for everyone coming to New York 10 study music 10 provide for it's ex- pense. That is a mistake so many make-of leaving home with the ex- pectation of making their own way in a comparatively short time. ana having at their disposal insufficient money to see them comfortably through.

I'd allow a safe margin for the length of time required to pre- pare me fully for professional work. Then I would be safely entrenched.

many mothers with little children who keep them from attending wor. ship; there are people who are i'll, and there are always circumstances which prevent Christians from be- ing present at every service. The fact, therefore, that there are so many empty pews in the churches, fact that is so greatly exploited, does not justify the claim that peo- pie do not go to church, and that Christianity is. decadent. It demon strates that while the churches pro- vide for their own, they provide for others also.
 In 1918, the Boston Transcript, a secular daily, made a survey in or der to ascertain from whence came the immense benevolent gifts of this country for the year 1917 After sitting all it's facts it stated that IS per cent of all the money given for benevolent enterprises came from people whose names are on the church rolls. GA report of this sur vey was given in the Record of Christian Work for August, 191S.) -
 In the meantimes the benevolences of the churches have increased two and three fold. For the current year the Methodist Episcopal church { asked for a benevolent budget of $21, 100000, which has been in creased; the Presbyterian church for | S13,500000, the Baptist church for | $6,000,000, and so on throughout all | the churches. This tremendous in-- crease in the benevolent gifts of the churches will bring the IS per cent of 1917 up to eighty-five or ninety per cent.
 The church has it's regular chan nels through which veritable rivers of benevolence are constantly flow ing. If every Sunday school member in the country gives a nickel on a
 certain Sunday the total amount will
 be almost exactly $1,00O,00O.
 The value of the church property
 in the United States is given as be
 ing $1,257, ,50O,OOO. But in addition tc
 this the churches have incalculable
 sums in trust funds. given through
 the years by wills and devisements
 the proceeds of which support Chris ? tian colleges. carry on missionary
 enterprises, provide old age pensions for ministers, support church hospi
 tals, ete
 The foregoing facts do not offer J come to mention. are little advertised or exploited, but they are as1auhori

II tue pOpuldIlOn or the country was, at that time, 1O6,c00, 900, then the names of far more than one-third of our population appeared on the roll books of the church. But it must be borne in mind that. this country has many babes and little children under church age. About 22 per cent of the population is under ten years of age. If we deduct 22 pel. cent from population of 1O6, 900 OOU, then the country had a population or S2,6OO,OOO of ten years and over. At this rate in 1918 there were 49S church members out of every 1OOU inhabitants. Of course, if our popu- lation exceeded 106,000, 900, the rate would be trifle lower, but the diff ference would be inappreciable. It thus appears that practically one. half Of our population are church members. That is, they are mem bers of churches doctrinally founded on the Bible and deriving the ar ticles of their faith from it. --
 The so-called evangelical churches have Q total membership of 25,137. 13S. The Roman Catholic and east. ern orthodox churches together have total membership of 14,4O0,26O. The non-evangelical churches; that is those churches whose doctrines touching the atonement, the divin ity of Christ, etc, are not considered orthodox by. the evangelical churches have a membership of 656,O99.
 CThese figures have been taker from the church statistics compiled by Dr. H. K Carroll for the year 1918, and published by the Christian Herald on April 12, 1919.)
 The World Almanac for 1919, or page SOY, gives the total membership of the churches of the country as be ing 42,044,374; the total number O ministers, 191,722, and the total mum Der of church organizations, 22S,OO7 This same publication puts the Sun dday school enrolment at i9,95l ,i7. with a corps of teachers and officers amounting to 1,95S,3lS
 The total increase in the member ship of the churches for the tel years. 1909 and 1919, inclusive, wa '7,6S0,621. This is an increase fo this period of just about 23 per cent The average annual increase for thi period was .76S,062.
 The seating capacity of tn churches of the country is betwee seventy.five and eighty millions. Tn Protestant churches claim a seatin capacity of tifty-three and one-hal millions The churches, therefore have accommodations for fully twic ' their actual membership.

IT It be held that the state edu cates only in order that it may pro duce good citizens, that is to say that the warrant for state education IS in the exercise of it's police pow, CTS, then it should be apparent that the kind of education which fits for good citizenship cannot stop with the mere importation of knowledge or with the discipline of intellectual faculties only. The citizen who lacks morality is a menace to the state and defeats the very object which, according to the hypothesis, the state has in view in educating him. But if, in recognition of this consid- eration, the state should take meas ures to educate it's sons and daugh- ters in the principles and precepts of morality, then it should need no argument to make it clear that the only source from which the state can draw these principles and precepts is in the authority of Almighty God, in which his law is given as the su- preme norm of all human constitu- tions and statutes, and his will as the only true guide in all human character and conduct.
 The Bible should be more than merely a textbook in the public schools of every grade; the simple, broad elements of the historical and the ethical in Christianity should be diligently and sympathetically taught, and the whole attitude and atmos- phere of the system of public educa-I

Career!" Mrs. Gilman thinks it can be both.
 But she was vigorously opposed by Dr. Frances StorIs Johnston, who represents Scotland in the confer ence. Dr. Johnston asserted that the baby who is not loved and cared for personally by it's very own mother will never have as good a chance in the world as the baby which knows it's own mothers attention.
 A Social Function.
 "Wo have a pleasant theory" said Mrs. Gilman, that little children are best taken care by the individual parent, whether she knows anything or not. The care and education of children is a social function, not a sex function Let those who like to bring up children give their lives to the science of thes care of babies. Some women like housework and the care of children, but it will preserve the health of many women who do not if they have chance to do some thing else and are not. all forced to do the same thing. .

 "The baby who is not loved and cared for by it's own mother has lost something that can never be re- placed" she said. ''When it is little it's health suffers so often if it is re- moved from the affectionate care of one woman, even though it may be
