Church Great Success.

|. However skeptical some may have
been holding a. daily vacation Bible
school for the little folks, all doubts
have been cleared away since the
first two weeks experience with the
undertaking. Mere than so boys

more have been added since. The

wynona Slater. superintendent of

kindergarten IN the daily Bible
school. Here is what she says:
Through our teaching in the
daily vacation Bible school, we
teachers are endeavoring to bring
the children into a more real con-
ception OF God, and help them to
realize that He In their friend. This
Is especially true with the kinder
gardeners, the little boys and girls
who are only 4, and years old. So
much responsibility lies with the
teacher. Many times little word
or deed which she may do or say,
iynpresses the child with a wrong
idea. which he often times carries
through life with him. 1t Is through
our kindergarten work that our de-
finite aim is to bring Jesus so simply
and interesting into the life OF each
little child. 80 that he may not fear
the Father but love him. The first
division OF our aim is teaching the
child to, talk to our Father" and
second. teaching him to, listen to
and obey the Fathers voice" lf
these two fundamental truths are
planted deeply and faithfully in fhe
hearts OF our little children today.

later Christian life. Physical and
mental work is given as well as

VANDALISM NOT SOON FORGOTTEN.

track in France of one of the three extant four
teenth century manuscripts Of The Romance
Of the Rose reminds of the injury done learn

And it is quite likely that the world VIII not
soon forgive the crimes of Germany IN this re-

The damage done by the base war methods
of Germany in the world Of art and learning IS
well nigh ncalculable. From the burning Of
the University of Louvain and the Smelling Of
the cathedral of Rheims down 70 the indirect
damage done by the loss or injury to objects
that meant much in the traditions OF eiviliza-

Huns In the case cited, the manuscript vas
knocked or had fallen from French train
which was conveying it back 20 its proper home,

moved during the to save it from the Ger

The whole German behavior during tne war
indicated fendish jealousy Of all advances II
civilization made by other peoples, an insane
desire to wipe out the evidences OF the civiliza-
ton Of other lands and to substitute therefor
