If we are TO make the world Chris
tian we must make men see what
Jesus taught about God.
Jesus taught that God is a great
unselfish, loving, helpful Father, su-
premely interested in building up a
great democratic brotherhood Of
souls like unto himselfl Democracy
means rule of the people free from
all tyrants, people who have some ad-
vantage by inheritance which they
did not earn, and all profiteers.)
This democratic conception Of God
is corner stone Of the Christian re-
ligion. On the other hand the most
vicious idea of God is that he is an
Almighty Autocrat, whose supreme
interest is to have his creatures extol
and worship him for his own salts
faction and glory, as all selfish hu-
man autocrats do. who care for moth
ing but the menial service and lauda-
tions of their helpless victims. This
false idea of God as a selfish tyrant
holds that if his creatures do not 30
worship him in this life he will arbi-
trarily punish them with everlasting
torments. This false religion under
the Christian name has driven thou
sands into infidelity and held back the
nropress of the world
On the other hand while Jesus
teaches that God is an all-wise, all
powerful, all-loving Father who
would have all men saved; he does
not teach that God overlooks sin in
any form or degree, or that he saves
men in their sins. He saves them
from their sins.
He requires the sinner to repent of
his sin and forsake it, or suffer the
natural consequences till he does, as
the prodigal son did, hungering for
even swine's food, or the rich man,
after his spectacular funeral, longing
for the denied companionship Of Laz-
arus. No, nothing but repentance,
though late. would do for either Of
them.
1t was to persuade men to repent
by an exhibition of the extreme Of
sin, and the extreme of love, that
Jesus submitted to be murdered by
the wicked hands Of sinners. When
these belated sufferers see the real
character of their sins. as explained
also to them by the Holy Spirit,
(See / Peter 8: 19) and realize the
self-sacrifcing love of Jesus and the
Father think you they will not repent
and breathe in his regenerating spir-
it?
Jesus said to his apostles in his
last interview, as his all-satisfying
explanation of the awful tragedy that
was just coming: "And I, If I be lifted
up from the earth will draw all men
unto me-" John IL: 32.)
Gods great democratic Kingdom
can never come upon earth until tho
false idea of God as a selfish tyrant
is cleared away, and Christ's idea Of
God as the Heavenly Father comes
into the minds Of all men.

District nurses, I had decided,

sick with pneumonia, two others had
the flu and the trained nurse was

This family was not very poor when
there was work. The woman did not
know how TO work effectively, but she
was anxious 10 learn. The tray
used was the top Of barrel and there
was so great a shortage OF dishes
that the family had TO eat in relays.
Neither were there any cups or sau-
GERS. But, Of course, this was an un-
usual case. The family is all right

Rural Motor Transportation Affords

With the advent and development
OF rural motor transportation comes
direct encouragement to raise better

PLANT AND DEVELOP TREES
Indiana Authority Gives Advice as to
the Best Methods for Securing
Desired Results.

A good lawn with plenty OF hard
wood trees. properly located, is one
Of the finest things TO be taken into
consideration In home beautiflcntion.
according TO &. l.. Burkholder Of the
horticultural division OF the Purdue
und.) extension department, Hard
wood trees are always desirable for
planting around the home even though
they are slower in growth than the
more undesirable and shorter-llved
trees. such as the Carolina poplar. box
wood and soft maple. The elm. lin
den. tulip poplar. horse chestnut, sugar
maple, Norway maNe and white ash
are few OF the hardwood trees which
thrive under most conditions and grow
rapidly after they are once well start
ed. Now Is the time 10 provide for u
good strong growth next summer.
Every one OF the above varieties Of
trees, up 10 the time Il is eight or nine
years old M the least, should be given
heavy coating OF barnyard manure
each fall and this material should be
spadch In the. shallow ground around
the trees In the spring. A circle about
each tree six feet IN diameter should
be kept free of weeds and grass
throughout the summer season. This
Is an Inexpensive treatment and will
develop the growth OF the tree each
season II carefully observed. Plenty
or manure viii mean plenty Of growth.

Had Little Previous Experience

A recent graduate Of the Newton
Hospital un'n'ng school, Miss Best
had only a little experience in New
York when chilled by the Portland
chapter Of the Red Cross TO essay
the hazards Of Maine winter In the
rural regions, but so we'll did she
succeed that she was made health
officer of the district before spring.
She has now more than 40 schools to
look after.
"My ambition was TO do public
health work." said Miss Best n few
days ago. 81 had learned TO drive n
flivver, although / had never been on
such country roads as these. The
first thing I did was TO go TO the
superintendent of schools in Gray.
which, as you know, is a town half
way between Portland and Lewiston.
He and his wife said Il had been their
dream TO have a school nurse, so |
suppose ! was their dream. ! tried
to get a map but could not find one,
nor could / find any paper large
enough TO copy the Typographical
map on, so ! used an old apron and
now keep this as souvenir.

First Trip On Snowshoes

"Then the messenger asked II he

agreed. l never thought he would
get there, but by noon they started
breaking out the roads. They had
four horses hitched to several logs
fastened together, with several men
riding on these. The horses went two
or three steps and then fell down and
had to be shovelled out. This kept
up and the work took a long time.
Right behind the road-breaking men
came the II. f. ID. man and half an
hour later the messenger arrived on
snowshoes, bringing a pair for me

but go. l went, and we managed TO

Began With Toothbrush Drill

"At the very first I had to address,

such thing before. But I knew what
] wanted 10 tell them and also kent
asking for constructive criticism.
started the children with a toothbrush
drill. I found that as many as IS
per cent Of them had bad teeth.
Every town in the district had
its own problems. That Of Raymond
was bad throats. New Gloucester
had the worst lighted school in the
district. None Of the schools have
a water system, and when ! told
the children 10 wash their hands, |
found that there was no water for
them to wash them in. In one school
80 per cent Of the children had eye
sight below the normal. and some
very bad, largely due to the improper
lighting of the building. Sanitary
conditions were seldom right and, al
though by talking TO the parents I
was able TO get such things as water
for washing purposes, much needed
TO be done.
"The solution really is the consoli-
dated school and transportation. In
one school, at 2S below zero, at IL
O'Clock they were just beginning TO
thaw out, for the children had 10 walk
long distances. Most Of the fore
noon work was lost. They ate cold
food, so I decided that the thing to
do was to talk hot lunches. I got In
touch with the home demonstration
department Of the Bureau Of Agri-
culture, and we worked together"
Miss Best interested the parents,
townspeople and womans' clubs and
her efforts resulted in hot lunches
being provided in a number Of schools.
Miss Best reports some strenuous
times in her district nursing. "One
Friday afternoon" she says, II got
a message from Cumberland, saying
that a whole family was sick and
that they could not get a person to
help them-would come? I couldn't
get out.
IL couldn't get out ! But, came
the reply, the woman is dying and
the whole family sick Still II was
a physical impossibility, for there
were no trains running.
