GIVING UP FOR CHRIST.

A sensation somewhat similar to
that caused in America by Bishop
Klnsman's resignation of his See, to
become subsequently Catholic, has
been produced in Australia by Bishop
Halford, a suffragan of the Protestant
Archbishop of Brisbane, who is resign
Ing his See for the reasons given in
the following letter, addressed to a
meeting of his diocesan Council
Il am about to renounce all Dos
sess, and live a life of poverty for Je-
sus' sake. This, I conceive, is a call
from God which l dare not disobey. I
am constrained by his example of the

became poor; though He had all
things, yet He deprived Himself of all

this direction in these last years by
the willingness of our noblest boys for

nothing back. love the church of my
baptism. But few things hurt more
than it is possible for reasons today,
as in Macauley's time, to pour scorn
upon it by contrast with acts of sacri-
fee, and I have to see, by comparison,
that it does not seem to have the pow
er to produce in any large measure
the highest saints, or to move it's sons
and daughters to give up everything
without reserve for the love of Jesus"
Lack of Sacrifice.
DR.. Halford goes on to say that,
jealous for the Church to which he be-
longs, 1.-The taunt of lack of self-sacri-
flee, hurts more than any," and that
he seeks to give example of self-sac-
rifice. With this end he says. 81 go

Matter of Reflection.
There is no Christian who will not
respect the Bishop for the sacrifice he
is making in response to what he con-
ceives to be call from God, and many
will watch with interest to see if the
example he has generously given, as
one holding a position of authority"
will be productive of the desired effect.
The testimony Of a man of such stand
ing and Of such ideals to the inability
of his own Church to produce Gin any
large measure the highest saints, or
to move its sons and daughters to give
up everything without reserve, for the
love Of Jesus" should certainly offer
matter for salutary reflection to our
Anglican brethren.

Green the old elm, but greener
The little vine under its arm,
Clinging through all Of the summer,
And giving to autumn it's charm.
I'm weary Of watching the river,
1t looms like giant in its tide,
1t draws me, cannot stay from it,
To cling like the old vine beside.
My WEAKNESS turns into loving,
When into the vaulting of blue,
l watch the old elm go climbing,
: Still clinging the vine-yes, the two
And around and above and beyond it
A world Of gold, crimson and tan,
BY the fast dipping reeds of the river
All this for the pleasure of man.
And say, I'll return every summer
Along the old shingle and stream,
To watch the dear elm in it's grandeur
For have a vow to redeem.
And I'll peer in the vault of the river
AS into some far-dipping sky,
To watch the old vine love the elm,
AS too, shall do, till die.

silent for while, begin to peal again.

YOUNG PEOPLE IN COLLEGE.

Varied are the motives that induce
young men and young women to at
tend colleges and universities. "A few
attend merely because their parents
or guardians wish them to do so.
They themselves have no definite aim
or ambition. Others go to colleges
and universities merely to have a good
time. Their aim is no higher than to
get into college social sets, to join
certain social fraternities or sorori-
ties, says Rev. DR.. Hengell.
Many students wish to qualify for
white collar jobs that pay good sal
aries and require little work. Prob
ably thirty per cent of all the young
men and women who attend colleges
or universities have no real vocation
for life work for which higher edu-
cation is necessary or at least desir-
able. Their attitude as students spoils
and units them for serious life work
They would in most cases become use
full members OF society if put to work
IN Office, shop or factory, but as stu
dents they are insists, nuisance to
themselves andsa burden to others. It
is unfortunate that professors and in.
structors do not thoroughly weed out
such students and thus do them a real
kindness in the end.
The majority of college and univer-
sity students, however, have a definite
ideal in life and they enjoy working
for that ideal. They love the life
work for which they are preparing
themselves, and they willingly make
sacrifices for it. Many of them earn
their way through the college or uni
versity at least in part. Most of the
worthwhile men and women in the
professions and in public life are
those who as students suffered &C.
onomic difficulties. Their characters
have been developed by hardship and
self.denial. Gn sYfti ts .s<
Most students admire great men
and women, and they dream at times
Of becoming great themselves. III il
well to have this dream IL 1t leads to
practical appreciation Of what true
greatness means and demands.

and Matters
OBLIGATION 70 GIVE CHILDREN
RELIGIOUS TRAINING.

One Of the startling disclosures in
a recent religious survey of America
is the fact that there are 27,000,000,
American youth under the age Of Is
who are not enrolled in any Sunday
School and who receive no formal
or systematic religious training. These
figures relate to nominally Protestant
youth, says the Grand Rapids, Mich,
Herald. Michigan's "quota" in this
gloomy Inventory Is 5s4,16O-not much
compared with some relative southern
states. but bad enough to present a
challenge. We heartily agree with
the semi-defunct "Interchurch World
Movement" when it says that this
non-religious youthssector is "the seed
plot Of immortality, crime, social un-
rest and anarchy"
In taking this census, we wish there
might have been sub-divided informa-
ton we should particularly like to
know how many children under the
age Of about sixteen (instead Of 25)
are unaffiliated with any Sunday

matte religious training. Above six

FALSE PROPHETS OF OUR DAY
HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD A
WRONG CONCEPTION OF WoM-
ANS SPHERE IN LIFE.

The thirty-first chapter Of the Book
OF Proverbs sings in language of splen-
did power and charm the praises of
the wise and valiant woman. No work
of classic antiquity can rival this por-
trait of the sanity woman-of the
wife and mother who measures UP to
all the requirements Of her position.
No later writer has improved upon the
picture, or found it lacking in essen
tial detail, or presented the world with
q better and noble ideal of woman
hood.
II The Church uses portions of this
eloquent tribute to the wise woman
in her liturgy for the commemoration
Of women saints who attained to the
stature of heroic holiness, though they
possess neither the glory of mar
tyrdom, nor the crown of virainity
The Church has, therefore, set the
stamp of approval upon that match
less poem Of the singer Of Ancient
Israel.
In these days. of emancipation"
and Of 'swoman's rights Of "femin-
ISM and the new freedom" other
ideals Of the truly great and noble
woman have been placed before the
sex. These ideals spring from an en-
tirely different concept Of woman's
sphere and duty than those that guild
ed the inspired writer Of the Book Of
Proverbs.
Whereas the poet of the Old Law
speaks Of industry and devotion to
household duty, and says that s'the
woman that feareth the Lord, she
shall be praised" the later prophets
of a new order, like Ibsen aud Suder-
man, and Ellen Key and Elinor Glyn,
praise the woman who follows her
own caprice, and knows no other duty.
