Sunday School Convention at Olanta,
Communicated

Today there are two things that
need emphasizing in our religious
life. First, we need to learn that the
child is the most important factor in
religious education and in evangel-
ism. 1t is the religious nurture and
development of the lives of children
that makes possible the growth of
the church. and the extension of Gods
kingdom on earth. 1t cannot be done
by ministering only to adult life.
Secondly, We need to get on the
mind and hearts of every one that
the Sunday school is the one best
agency to nurture and develop the
child life. 1t is the teaching and the
training agency of the church, and it
should be organized to meet the needs
of the growing developing life. 1t
touches life in its infancy and con-
tinues to minister to it during the
whole of the life of the individual It

Signing the Armistice.

The following extract from an az
ticle by Raymond Recouly in the May
number of Scribner's magazine.
They arrived in the dark of night
and took their places in the same car
riage as at first Then the marshal
came in. Every one sat down. Foch
then read the final conditions OF the
armistice. The whole of the document
was gone through with its two sched-
ules. The reading took long time.
Then it was again discussed. The
Germans asked for certain number
of alterations. Foch granted some,
but refused the others. All this went
on until a quarter past five.
Foch asked the Germans to sign on
a blank page before the final clause
agreed to should be typed. They con-
sented. 1t was decided that, the sig
natures having been exchanged at
five in the morning, it would be six
hours later, namely, at eleven o'clock,
that operations should cease all along
, the front.
Two penholders We're used for the
appending of the signatures: one for
the French and English, another for
the Germans. The marshal kept the
first one for himself, and offered the
other one to Mr.. Clemenceau. 1t was
half past five when this memorable
sitting was over.
Foch returned to his private COM
partment and rested few moments
in his armchair, then returned to the
bureau carriage. In the meantime
the secretaries had finished copying
out the whole of the document. 1t was
handed him in exchange for signed
receipt. At twelve the German train
left Rethonde. The French one with
out the marshal, who had already left
started at quarter past twelve.
Whilst stopping few minutes on
the bridge near Compiegne, Foch's
officers saw in the distance, near
Tergnier, the fast receding train
bearing the German plenipotentiaries.
Weygrand, motoring to Versailles,
left the train at compiegne.

FIRST LORD OF
THE ADMIRALTY
Winston Churchill, At Time Of The
Dardenelles Expedition, Used To
Act as Censor During Campaign.
Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 26-Winston Chur-
chill, who was First Lord of the Ad-
miralty at the time of the Dardan-
elles expedition, used to act as censor
of the official communiques given out
concerning that ill-fated campaign,
says Rear Admiral Sir Douglas
Brownrigg. Sir Douglas was chief
censor during the war and has writ
te nhis experiences in book entitled
"Indiscretions of the Naval Censor" !"
One day Mr.. Churchill said to the Ad-
miral, "for this business, l am chief
censor, not you.
Mr.. Churchill had knack for
framing communiques," the Admiral
states. "He was also bit of gam
bier that is he would hold on to a
bit of bad news for a time on the
chance of getting bit of goods news
to publish as an offset, and l must
say it not infrequently came off"
Admiral Brownrigg used to visit the
First Lord in his bedroom at 9:15 a.
M, and show him the cables and ra-
dios that had been received during the
night. Mr.. Churchill, he says, "pres-
ented a most extraordinary spectacle
perched up in a huge bed with the

despatch boxes, red and all colors

Mr.. Churchill himself with an enor-
nous cigar in his mouth; glass OF
warm water on the table by his side
and a writing pad on his knee. On
one occasion he had badly swollen
face, and with two turns of flannel
bandage round it and a scanty look
escaping here and there presented a
truly extraordinary picture. The ci-
gar, however, was still there

MOST BEAUTIFUL
FURNACE COMETS
Ever Seen In The Pittsburgh District
Have Been Observed During The
Recent Weeks.
Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 90 Intense
blast furnace activity combined with
low tempera lures, has in recent weeks
given to the Pittsburgh district some
of the most beautiful furnace comets
it has ever seen. But they are grad
ually losing their brilliancy, and with
the approach of spring, scientists say,
they will vanish until favorable con-
ditions reappear next winter.
Furnace Comets" are great broad
shafts of yellow light which pierce
the black background of a murky sky
in most spectacular manner. They
flash almost without a moments s
notice, and fade almost as quickly,
only to reappear as bright, if not
brighter than before. Usually there
are two of them, at times rising per-
pendicular, but oftener cutting the sky
like the beam from a searchlight.
Scientists at the Allegheny Obser-
vatory explained the lights by saying
that the light from blast furnaces pen
crates the atmosphere above the city
to great height, and there being
caught by frost crystals send back the
reflection in the form of broad bands.
For years they have passed almost
unnoticed until this year, when be-
cause of the continued operation OF
large numbers of furnaces, they be-
came much more frequent and much
more beautiful.

THE USE OF AN
AIRPLANE WILL
Be OF Little Service In Attempting
To Reach The South Pole, Says
DIR. Griffith Taylor.
Associated Press

MELBORNE, Australia, Feb. 90
An airplane will be of little service
in attempting to reach the South Pole,
in the opinion of DR.. Griffith Taylor,
of the Austrian Meteorological Bur-
eau who was formerly an Antarctic
explorer. DIR. Taylor said he believed
that the expedition to the South Pole
to be conducted next summer by DIR. j.
L. Cope would find it difficult to reach
the South Pole by the air route. He
said:
Hurricanes blow for weeks in the
Antarctic and can spring up in half
an hour from nothing to 60 miles an
hour. l do not think it possible that
an airplane can rise above blizzard
It can not stay up indefinitely and it
can not descend
DR.. Taylor is skeptical as to the
mineral wealth of the Antarctic, for
which DIR. Cope's expedition is special
ly to explore. Speaking from his own
experience, he does not think there is
anything of economic value on the
coast Of the Antarctic continent; and
although coal is to be found inland
the extent Of the deposits he says is
uncertain and it is improbable on &C
count of its remoteness that it can be
mined within the next so years.

Liverpool advanced 60 points on

plate Visiting England During
This Spring Or Summer.
Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 26-Americans who
coming to England this
spring or summer ,and Londoners ex-
pect there will be thousands of them,
should be definitely assured before
leaving that hotel accommodations
have been arranged, say the hotel
managers. Otherwise it is probable
that they may be unable to find a
place to stay, particularly in London.
It will be difficult for London to
handle a great influx of people this
summer, say the managers, and they
expect many disappointments among
Americans who even attempt to ar
range accommodations some time
ahead of arrival The better hotels of
the city can not find room for more
than 1000 at one time, they are full
now and many people have engaged
rooms months ahead.
Some Englishmen who have just re-
turned from the United States estti-
mate that 1,OOO, 900 Americans will at
tempt to see England enroute to the
battlefields of France this summer.
More conservative observers, however,
place the number far below that.
