catholic acceptance or divine truths,
on which he had hitherto dwelt.
meant nothing to them. To these,
in particular, he owned special
reparation, and he took this occa-
sion to announce a series OF Sunday
evening sermons on the creeds.
SO long as the creeds remained
in the Prayer Book IL was his duty
to interpret them in terms not only
of modern thought. but In harmony
with the real Significance OF the
Person and message OF Jesus Christ.
Those who had come to him ques-
tioning. he declared, were thou
sand times right in refusing TO ac-
cept the interpretations Of other
men, the consensus of opinion OF
more ignorant ages, expressed In
an ancient science and an archaic
philosophy.
And What should be said of
the vast and ever-increasing num-
the church who had left 1t
or were leaving 1t? And OF
the less fortunate to whose bodily
wants they had been ministering in
the parish house, for whom II had
no spiritual message. and who new
err entered it's doors? The necessity
OF religion. OF getting in touch with
OF dependence on the Spirit of the
Universe was inherent in man, and
yet there were thousands-nay mil
lions-in the nation today in whose
hearts was an intense and unsatis-
fed yearning, who perceived no
meaning in life, no cause for which
to work, who did not know what
Christianity was. who had never
known what 1t was, who wist not
where to turn to find out.
Education had brought many of
them to discern, in the Church's
teachings, an anachronistic medley
of myths and legends. of theories
of schoolmen and theologians of
surviving pagan superstitions which
could not be translated into life.
They saw, in Christianity, only the
authorizations of the centuries.
If anyone needed proof of the
yearning people felt, let him go
to the bookshops, or read in the
publishers lists today the an
nouncements> of books on religion.
There was no supply where there
was no demand.
Truth might no longer be iden-
titled with tradition, and the day
was past when councils and synods
might determine 1t for all man
kind. The era of forced accept
snce of philosophical doctrines
and dogmas was past. and that of
freedom, of spiritual rebirth, of
vicarious suffering. of willing sac
rifice and service for cause was
upon them. That cause was de-
mocracy.

The Sigh in
Siam

The unemployment problem Is
spreading to all parts of the world.
The new King of Siam is one
woman ruler, /. e., he believes in
the old safety rule which Is ad-
vocatcd by all bigamists who get
oaught-one wife at a time.
The fact that the King takes this
attitude has thrown a harem of
300 out of employment, however,
and put an acute unemployment
problem up to the royal cabinet.
What the haremites should have
done, of course, was to have formed
a union. Then they would be in a
position to enforce their demands.
But they were non-union workers.
and when the present king stepped
on the throne and announced that
he was going in for the one-aueen
idea they were left out in the cold.
According to recent reports the
300 ex-harem specialists are being
absorbed in other work for which
their previous training more or less
fitted them.
, Fifty OF them are at work on
volumes of memoirs. These will
be published under such titles as
"a Salaam at Siam" "The King rs
We Know Him." Nights OF the
Bath" "a Harem without a Chap
erone," etc.
Some of them are giving private
dancing lessons to the society ma
irons and debutantes OF Siam, and
a few have gone into vaudeville.
And all of those that fail to get
other work will be brought to
America and go into the movies.

is money matters in very many
cases that end the marriage in the
divorce courts.
When we first married I was six
teen years and a half old and my
husband was twenty-five years
and a half. We were sure of our
love for each other then, and after
almost twelve years of happiness
we can truthfully say we are sure
Of our love now, too. He, being
the older and wiser of the two,
gave me a certain amount of his
salary for food and clothes, even
more than necessary. Out of the
rest he paid for everything, and
we always saved something each
week and deposited 1t in the bank.
AS his salary increased so did
my share, and when our babies
(now a boy OF ten and a girl OF
eight grew bigger and bigger he
allowed amply for them. We saved
up enough to have a home OF our
own so that the greedy land
lords do not bother us.

SOCIOLOGY: It's Development and Ap-
plication. BY James QuayIe Dealey
New York: d. Appleton & Company.
This survey of the teachings Of
social science, from the pen of
James Quayle Dealey, professor Of
social and political science in Brown
University, gives the reader a COM
pact statement of the main aspects
of sociology, it's rise and it's rclat-
ton to other sciences; and a con-
else discussion of social problems
and Of the factors involved in So
cial progress.
For the general reader this COM
prehensive Introduction to social
science will have a special attrac-
ton because of it's reasonable COM
pass and its simplicity of presenta-
ton. For the student 1t forms an
admirable textbook.
The first part Of the book, en-
titled Sociology and It's Kindred
Sciences" shows the relation Of So
cial science to the broad field of
knowledge. Part II, Society and
Its Institutions" explains social
origins. Part III is a study Of
the factors in Social Progress"
the process OF elimination of So
cial evils, which the author con-
siders to be best achieved, not by
the method of direct attack, but
by substituting a better thing for
a bad-a more constructive method.
In view of the widely awakened
interest in sociology, this book
should be welcomed by the student
and the readeS who keeps well in
formed on live topics.

WATERPROOFING FORMULAS.
For waterproofng boots and

Formula Is ounces neutral wool

grease is applied warm, but it
should never be hotter than the
hand can bear.
Grease thoroughly the edge of
the sole and the welt, as this is
where shoes leak most. The sole
should also be thoroughly impreg-
mated with the grease. thereby in
creasing its water resistance, dura-
bility and pliability. The sole can
be most conveniently waterproofed
by letting the shoe stand for about
fifteen minutes in shallow pan
containing enough of the melted
waterproofng material to cover
the entire sole. Rubber heels, how
ever, should not be allowed to and

rubber.

he was met by the scornful ques-
ton: Are the Christians Of the

Christians own the grim tenements
in which we live, the saloons and
brothels by which we are sur

"Chrktians own the establish

One inevitable conclusion or such
q revelation was that he had not
preached to them the vital element
OF Christianity. And the very fact
that his presentation OF religion
G.
satisfied was proof positive that he
had dwelt upon non-ess entails. laid
emphasis upon the mistaken IN
terpretations of past ages.
There were those within the
church who were content with this,
who-like the Pharisees OF old
welcomed a religion which did not
interfere with their complacency,
with their pursuit of pleasure and
wealth, with their special priv
ileges; welcomed church which
didn't raise her voice against the
manner of their lives-against the
order. the Golden Calf which they
had set up, which did not accuse
them of deliberately retarding the
coming of the Kingdom of God.

Uncle Joe Cannon was a young
man full of promise. At an early
age he displayed an aptitude for
craftsmanship. But, brothers and
sisters, he, through evil influ-
ences, no doubt. took to smoking
great long, black, hideous cigars.
He might have maintained his
usefulness and vigor to a ripe old
age. He is now only in the
eighties and has recently gone
through a campaign with broken
arm. We're it not for tobacco
he might have gone through two
campaigns at the same time with
both arms broken.

have written. He might have be-

Irwin Cobb started rather well
but you know. Somebody gave
him cigar years ago and he has
scarcely been without cigar in
his mouth since. Without this
habit the world might have heard
of him. He might be making
money now instead of the paltry
hundred thousand or SO year
that he pulls down.

n JoTHING is much more uncom-
IN Portable than going about
with wet shoes. yet even the
most forehanded are caught occa-
sionally in a storm without rubbers
and wet feet is their portion. as
with those who dislike and seldom
wear overshoes.
The Bureau OF Chemistry, United
States Department OF Agriculture,
has recently completed a series 0f
experiments on the care and use Of
leather and recommends water
proofing the shoes that are worn
in the winter and spring months.
NOT WHOLLY WATER-TIGHT.
Leather shoes and boots. as they
are made nowadays, when treated TO
make them water resistant, allow
the entrance of some water owing
principally to the difficulty OF com
pletely interpreting the seams.
Such footwear cannot be expected
to keep the feet perfectly dry II
worn for a long time in wet wea-
Their. nor will II take the place of
rubber overshoes or boots for walk
ing in water, slushy snow, or very
soft mud. They are very satisfac-
tory, however. for protecting the
feet during rain or snowstorms and
for use on wet pavements or wet
ground. They also keep the perspi-
ration in. but are not as objection
able as rubber in this respect.
The application of oil or grease TO
light-colored or russell leather dark
ems IL. more or less, and also makes
any leather more difficult to polish.
Where this is Objectionable, only
the soles OF the shoes should be
waterproofed. The uppers can oe
made quite water resistant by the
frequent application of good wax
polish.
The occasional use of castor oil
on shoe uppers will increase their
resistance. as well as their fexi.
bility and durability, without great
Iy interfering with their being pol
ished. If the oil is applied lightly
TO the clean, dry shoes and rubbed
in until the leather is dry. they
may be polished Immediately, al
the following day. If the oil is ap
piled too heavily, ii will be diff
cult to polish the shoes, and the
shine will not last very long.
In summer the grease used for
watcrproofing shoes and boots
should be harder than that used in
winter. Since heavily CREASED shoes
have a tendency to cause the feet
to pcrspire and swell in hot wealth

A CANVASS of the little folks
~ in any primary class in the
schools shows n surprising
number of children who come to
school without breakfast. There
are variety of reasons. The very
youngest ones usually tell the
truth, and they will tell you that,
"Oh. l never want to eat any
breakfast and SO mother don't
bother any more"
Again, breakfast was not ready
and l had to hurry of for fear OF
being late" Or, II got up too late
and could not wait"
Like Every other habit the habit
OF wanting to eat breakfast is one
that must be cultivated. And the
woman who has the health and ef-
ficiency of her school child at
heart will take the time and
trouble-aDd 1T is n good bit Of
trouble sometimes-to see that the
child cultivates the habit OF eating
breakfast.
BREAD AND MILK.
Bread and milk makes sub
sstantial all-sufficicnt breakfast for
n child. For variety, the bread
may L." toasted. or some warm
milk may be poured over the
toast. or the milk may be made
into cereal coffees on the market.
