THE ENCHANTING VOCATION.
Sermon BY Dr. Clovis chapp pastor Mount Vernon Place
Methodist Episcopal Church South

My text Is a part Of the Sermon
on the Mount, "Ye are the salt Of
the earth" The Master Is telling
certain individuals what their life
work Is to be. He is assigning
them to their high task. He says.
your job is to salt the earth. It is
to keep sweet a world that would
otherwise tester and decay" I am
sure you will agree with me that
this is an enchanting vocation"
Nobody would care to work at a
finer job than this.
Now, to whom was our Lord
speaking? Who are these that are
so highly privileged? Who are
these that have upon them such
lofty responsibilities? Who are
these that are. gifted with such
stupendous powers? / answer, they
are not angels. They are not those
ministering spirits that are sent
forth to minister to the heirs of
salvation. Neither are they the
spirits of just men made perfect
Neither is He speaking to select
sons of genius, great mountain
men who appear only once or twice
In a century. He is speaking to
ordinary men and women like our
selves, but to men and women who
power of God.
aye Are Salt,
So our Lord put His disciples
among the necessities of life. EYE
are salt" Now. il may be that you
do not admire salt especially, but
whether you do or not 1 will tell
you this, IL is impossible for you
to have a contempt for 1t. It is
Impossible for you to ignore it. II
lis the very opposite of the insipid.
| 1t is the eternal foe of the weak
and tasteless. Whenever salt comes
on the scene everybody knows It
And when II leaves town folks find
that out, too.
Now, our Lord said a Christian 4.
like salt. If you can stay in a
church forever more without any
body finding II out, II your presence
never makes any difference in the
collection, in the teaching, in the
singing, in the praying. in the per.
sonal work. then whatever else y6r
are or are not, you are not a Chris
| tan. IL you are cOlOEless anu mega
tive. If you are a human minus
sign. II 1t does not matter to the
church or to the home or the com
munity whether you go or come
live or die. then you cannot cal
yourself salt Whatever else yo,
may be. you are not a disciple o.
Jesus Christ. He could not be hid
den. People could not ignore Him
Some loved Him and some hatec
Him, but they were all aware o
Him.
Relieves the Feast.
And 1t is the presence of the sal
of Christianity that keeps the grea
lfeast of human life from being
dull and stale and insipid affair
How poor a thing was life on thi
planet when Jesus came. Men hat
grown heartsick. They had trie,
every form OF sin to become nau
seated with II all.

A STEP FORWARD

THE republican members Of the Legislature have fulfilled their
pledge to the organized school workers of the state and TO the
d public by submitting constitutional amendments, to remove the
prohibition against succession ia office by the state and county school
supcrintcndcnts. The matter is now up to the people. There is not
much doubt that the people will rdtify the amendment. They have
seen q number of very efficient school administrators forced out of
the service in our state by a restriction "a, 10 term Of service which
should never have been established.
While hi, is a step forward The Evening Herald is in hearty
agreement with Senator liricklcy of Lincoln county, who asserts That
the next step forward, and the one that should be taken TO inSui" the
highest efficiency in school administration, is to take nc state and
county school superintendent out Of the elective class, relieve them
Of the necessity of making partisan campaigns for election, and
make ih,m appoIniy, by responsible board.
The county board of education, as now constituted, is appointed
by the Judge Of he district court and amy member is subject TO re
moyal az the discretion of the court. This board is made responsible
for the county school administration. but It Is given as @ member and
executive officer q superintendent iu whose choice % has no part and
who may or may not meet the standards of efficiency desired by the
BOARD.
The directors OF q private corporation would bc seriously haudI-
capped were the power 10 cnooS' executives taken from them aud
lodged with the public the corporation serves. The eases are not cX-
act parallels but they are sufficiently close To illustrate the point.
Finally a school administrator should not be required to GO out
and solicit votes, or consider political advantage or disadvantage.
His position is in a distinctly separate branch Of the public service
and one that may well be divorced rs completely as possible from
partisan politics.

WHAT THE WOME HAVE DONE

ENTRANCE of women into New Mexico public affairs has had a
+ very apprcciablc effect upon legislation during the session now
~ closing. At the bchest of republican women n number of planks
were incorporated into the republican state platform, plcdgmg that
party To certain measures toward which the women Of this state have
been working for years. These included further advancement for
the cause of child welfare, the safeguarding of girls as well as boys
by state refornatory institution and effort, equal rights of the guard
ianship OF children, and educational advancement. The women also
sought further extension of the work of the state health department
and specific measures for the physical and moral welfare.
Republican women did not ask for equal rights to hold public
office. Thi, right was accorded by Legislative enactment, as a matter
of right and as u part of the equal franchise.
OF the measures that women sought, both in the party platform,
and before the legislature. every one has been enacted.
If we may Judge by the legislative program submitted by women
and carried out at their instance, we may conclude that this state, az
least, has enjoyed an immediate improvement in standards Of lcgis
ation aud government from the entrance Of women into equal rights
of citizenship.

THE PRICE OF BEING POLITE

TIE American public could save SO 0O0O00 a year in telegraph tolls
by dirontuuiug the Use of the word please in kilograms.
But what profit hath it that the people save $3OO0OOO a
year, and lose something Of the sweetness of courtesy
There may be efficiency engineers and cost economists, hunting
for pennies 10 save, who viii be- shocked by such seeming waste of
words and money. But Americans, spending S}000O00 a year on
one courteous word are investing well and wisely.
II is really gratifying 10 find America spending SO much on one
word Of courtesy when no many Of us are laN in words and deeds of
courtesy that cost MS nothing at all.
Courtesy is a swoctcuiug element in the ordinary relations Of our
common life. We are not nnpoltc people, but we are in a hurry and
in our hurry We take the rougher way when the smoother one is
much easier.
Recently some newspapers have been awarding cash prizes to
polite folks discovered by reporters These were special rewards,
but. 100 irrtb. courtesy always has paid, one way or another. The old
