WHY THE CHURCH MUST BE
SUPPORTED.

Because it is n divine institution,
the sanctuary Of jehovah.
Because it is our greatest civic ii,-
stitution. No city could exist without
its churches.
Because it is the greatest of all
charitable institutions, administering
not only to the bodily needs Of those
of its members who may be desti-
tute, but to the spiritual needs Of
ell.
| Because it teaches the children the
fundamentals, instills into their
minds and hearts the lessons Of
obedience, truth, honesty, chastity
and all the virtues which 90 tu
make character and good citizenship.
Because it holds men and women
in restraint, teaches them the lesson
of self-control and incites them u
good living.
! Because it is n refuge for those
who mourn; the place where the at
fictcd and the bereaved find sympa.
thy and solacc and grace to bear
their ills.
Because it is the only barrier be-
tween civilization and heathenism.
Because it stands for day Of
rest. one day in seven.
Because it is the conservator VI
the public peace and public morals.
Because it is the strong arm Of
government. without which all our
institutions would be in jeopardy.
Because it stands for clean poll
tics, good government and honesty
and fidelity in the public service.
Because it takes away the sting
and terror of death, by giving as-
surancc that life we'll spent will
! go eventually into another existence
md find its perfect development in
the richer and more abundant life of
the world to come.
ITO be of no church is dangerous, -
said Dir. Samuel Johnson. "Religion,
of which the rewards are distant,
and which is animated only by faith
and hope, will glide by degrees out
of mind unless it be invigorated and
reimprcssed by external ordinances.
by stated calls to worship and the
solitary influence of example"
The churches of this community
have been hit harder than the insti-
'utions of business by the stringent
zines. Their revenues have fallen of
and i'll some instances collections ms

penses. The call for support is d.

WANTED ALL TO UNDERSTAND
cicerone at Holy Sepulchre at Jerv- salem Careful to Impress Gospel
 Facts on Visitors.

Either I was particularly fortunate or others are particularly fastidious. The guide who showed me the Holy Sepulchre In Jerusalem was not par dcularly noisy or prOfane or palpa- bly, mercenary; he was rather more or less sympathetic than the same sort of man who might have shown me Westminster abbey or Stratford- On-Avon.
 He was a small, solemn, owlish old man, so far from deserving the charge of not knowing the Bible, he deserved rather a gentle remonstrance against his assumption that nobody else knew It. If there was anything to smile at, In associations so sacred, 1t was the elaborate simplicity with which he told the first facts of the Gospel story. as If he were evangelizing savage. Anyhow, he did not talk like cheap jack at a stall, but rather like teach CT In an infant school.
 He made it very clear that Jesus Christ was crucified, in case anyone should suppose he was beheaded; and often stopped in his narrative to re- peat that the hero of these events was Jesus Christ, lest we should fancy it was Nebuchadnezzar or the duke Of Wellington. I do not in the least mind being amused at this, but l have no reason whatever for doubting that he may have been a better man than l.
 I gave him what should have given a similar guide in my own country; l parted with him as politely as from one of my own countrymen.-From the New Jerusalem by G. K. Chester ton.

COMPENSATION FOR THE
 COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

A syndicated article recently ap- peared from the pen of P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of educa- ton, who incidentally once lived in Arkansas-in which he discusses the election of county superintendents of schools. Some of his suggestions are so closely in accord with conditions existing in Arkansas, that one is almost forced to the conclusion that he must have had this state in mind when he wrote them.
 For instance, he says that nowhere should the salary of the county super intendent be less than $3500." The act creating the office of county sup erintendent in 1,19 fixed the salary at $500 minimum and $2400 maximum, but experience demonstrated that this restriction greatly handicapped the county boards and the last legislature amended the law to leave to the county boards the question of salary.
 Again, MT, Claxton said; "To en- able the weaker countries to pay ade- ouate salaries and for many other reasons, the state should pay one half of the minimum salary at least" The 1921 session of the legislature made provision for the state to pay $500 on the salary of each county superintendent, levying special tax for the purpose.
 He also suggested that county hoards have the power to select coun- tv superintendents from the county at large on the basis of professional preparation and ability, which is the method pursued in Arkansas.
