The Overflow of Christianity

The pessimst is often heard lamenting that the in
uence of the Church is waning He points to the at
titude of many Christian people toward amusement,
toward Sabbath observance toward church attendance
towards forms ceremonies and toward creeds
dogmas asserts with sorrowful countenance
that the former days better than these Then apart
from the attitude of church members he finds in
Indifference great of the people to of
the claims of the Church. in their chase after pleasure
their wordiness and seshness proof conclusive that
lost it's hold upon the people, and must
be looked upon failure.
But the pessimst overlooks the fact that there is
such thing the Overflow of Christianity that there
is today the permeating and ennobling influence of
Christianity on all human activities the
fact that with the passing of the years estimate
has to be placed upon the essential and
essential in religion, that religion does not consist in
doing not doing certain things but in doing justly
in loving mercy, and in walking humbly with God
He forgets that all moral standards have been raised
in social lfe and in business and professional fe
the direct result of the work of the Christian Church
forgets that the benevolent and charitable enter
prises that have multiplied of late and all
the outgrowth overflow of the Churchs work. He
forgets that the poor the SICK the blind the deaf the
dumb the orphan the aged have all found in that spirit
of sympathy which Christianity infuses into human
hearts, mitigation of their suerngs, if not, indeed,
full provision for all of their wants.
all communities there are today many people
who not church members and who careless
in the matter of church attendance, whose daily lives
nobler and purer and Christ-like than they
would have been but for the permeatng and eevating
influence of the Christian Church.
How manifest the overflow of Christianity in
the recent War; The benevolent activities of the Red
Cross, the Young Christian Association, the
Knights of Columbus the Salvation Army, all the
expressions the attitude the Church towards those
in need of sympathy and help
To that influence also must ascribe the
tender that since the War; has been given to those
who wounded and disabled in the great conflict.
And further still, the call today for millions of
dollars to relieve the starving multudes of China and
Europe meets with ready response, simply because
the principles of Christianity have Influenced many
American hearts.
Let the pessimst ask himself what conditions would
prevail in this Country today if the moral and saving
influences of the Church should be wholly withdrawn.
Let him try to find anyone in any community whose life
has not been broadened and whose symphes have not
been quickened, by the teachings of the Christian
Church. and then let him revise his statistics and he
will find that at period of the Worlds history were
the influences of Christianity pervasive contro
ing, they today.-Minneapos Journal.

VILLAGE PHILOSOPHY

By Fred Had1ey in Winnebago City Enterprise
The world is too busy these days to listen to the
excuses of the failures. 80
1t good thing to learn to laugh with people and
not at them.
Popularity is sometimes achieved by keeping your
troubles to yourself &c.. ST..
Yesterday is dead. Tomorrow is problematical.
Today is the best time!
When the knockers beat tattoo you rejoice It
is sign that you beginning to arrive.
Son, of the poorest places in the world to
penmanship is the back of the other fellows
When Opportunity knocks at the front door, lot Of
folks down in the cellar testing the home brew.
Without the book beer signs lot Of old timers
sorey puzzled to know when spring and winter
passes
1t sometimes takes long while to learn the simple
that the things of life be bought with
money.

He Knew How
By e. 2. Mcintyre.

By E. F. Mcintyre.
There was an old geezer
And he had lot of sense
He started up business
On dollar-eighty cents.
The dollar for stock,
And the eighty for ad
Brought him three lovely dollars
In day, by dad!
Well, he bought goods
And a little space,
And he played that system
With a smile his face.
The customers focked
To his two-by-four
And soon he had to hustle
For regular store.
UP on the square
Where the people pass
He gobbled up
That all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows
With the best that he had,
And told them all about 1t
In half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming
And he never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down =
On his ads jit s..
And he's kept things humping
In the town since,
- And everybody calls him l."
The Merchant Prince
Some say it's luck,
But that's all bunk
Why, he was doing business
When times punk.
People have to purchase and the geezer was
wise
For he knew the way to get 'em was
to advertise. III.

from 80 important an historical scene

Herring fishing, Iceland's principal
