REALLY AN OLD, OLD STORY
The Younger Generation, 1t Would
Appear, Has Always Been "Going
to the Bow 'NcWs."

Are the children of today going to
the bow-wows, or is it just an appear
ance? Are the children Of this world
today worse in their generation han
the children of yesterday? Let us
take a census.
A volume of sermons printed in 1850
contains a wall from .Dr. Lyman
Beecher about "the terrible lack of
parental discipline in these later days"
DIR. Jonathan Edwards made the
same gloomy remark hundred years
before, saying that children behaved
rudely and lacked the chastisement he
had received.
Going back two centuries we find the
famous Hugh Latimer, chaplain to Ed
ward VI, declaring that during his 90
wears of observation the manners of
boys, their development at church and
their conduct toward parents had un-
dergone woeful declension.
John Knox remarked on the discc1r-
aging signs of the times as to parents
lack of authority over their sons.
Going back to the Old Testament,
it seems that the same doleful views
prevailed among the Hebrews, for one
of the prophets gives them this needed
warning:
"Say not thou, what is the cause
that the former days were better than
these? Thou dost not inquire wisely
concerning this"
SO that, taking it all around, we are
quite undisturbed about the present
generation. 1t is probable that we
we're just the same little fools that
they are-only a mere bit littler. We
have forgotten.

Lake Taxi for Quiet Smoke.

"Just took three different parties on

the taXicab driver.
smoke drives?" asked his friend.
"What's smoke driver"
"If you was taxicab driver in the
downtown section of the city you
would know what they were," replied
the taxi driver. "When a couple of
women get into the cab and say that
they just want to take smoke drive
they mean they wish to be driven a
short distance so that they can take
a smoke. Unless they designate any
particular place can take them
wherever l choose for little ride and
then bring them back to the point
where they started."-Chicago Jour

American Bible Society.

The American Bible society was Or
ganized in New York city in 1915, to
encourage a wider circulation of the
Bible. In 1S41 an act of incorpOra-
ton was made and in 1852 Bible
House" was built, one Of the Oldest
Office buildings in New York city.
The board of managers consists of SO
laymen and the object is to translate
and circulate the Holy Scripture to
all the ends of the earth and espe-
cially among the benighted and desti-
tute. 1t is strictly undenominational
and during 100 years 117,13O,711 vol
umes have been distributed. printed
in 164 languages. The society is main
tained by bequests, endowments and
subscriptions.

self a little-but not long. Herbert in
the next pew in church, and Henry in
the next beyond that, were perfect
compositions in smugneSs. They were
cold, cOntented, ariStocratic; and had
an imperturbable understanding be-

to the sensitive Florence-that she
was a nuisance now capably disposed
of by their beautiful discovery of "Say

becoming to the place and occasion.
But at four o'clock that afternoon
she was assuaged into a milder con-
dition by the arrival, according to an
agreement made in Sunday school, of
the popular Miss Patty Fairchild.
Patty was thirteen and a half; an
exquisite person with gOld-dusted
hair, eyes of perfect blue, and an al
Turing air of sweet self-cOnsciousness.

Florence and Patty occupied them
selves indoors for half an hour; then
went out into the yard to study
mOle's tunnel that had interested Flor
ence recently. They followed it across
the lawn at the south side of the
house, discussing the habits of moles
and other matters of zoology; and
finally lost the track near the fence,
which was here the "back fence"
higher than their heads. Patty looked
through a knothole to see if the tun-
mel was visible in the next yard, but
without reporting upon her observa-
tions she turned, as if carelessly, and
leaned back against the fence, cover
ing the knothOle.

wronn idea About Moon.

The popular impression that the
full moon has the power to clear
away clouds disappears slowly not
withstanding the almost unanimous
pronOuncement of modern naturalists
against it. This may be largely due
10 the fact that so great an authority
in his day as Sir John Herschel re-
garded the idea as probably correct.
After a study of the Greenwich OBJ
servation, 1t was suggested that the
impression may be due to the fact
that a change from the cloudy to the
clear state is much more likely to
attract attention when there is full
moon in the sky, and many meteor
ologists agree with this.-Christiap

Bread Made Effective Weapon.

During the recent disturbances In
Upper Silesia, a party of Poles, armed
to the teeth, made an attempt to force
an entrance into the town of Korel,
which was garrisoned by Italian
troops. An italian sentry opened fire
as soon as the first insurgents tried
to cross the bridge over the River
Oder. The Poles replied, and their
attack would have succeeded if it had
not occurred to the sentry to seize his
ration of bread and hurl it at his as
sailants. So startled were they by this
proceeding that they fled. Possibly
they imagined that this projectile was
some new sort of bomb. BY the time
they had recovered from their aston
ishment re-enforcements put in an ap-
pearance, and the situation was saved.

One of the most tragic of England's
war memorials has just been unveiled
in the village church of Holywell, Lin
colnshire-a simple tablet of white
stone let into the church wall. 1t only
contains the names Of twelve villagers
killed in the war, but the tragedy is
these twelve were the villages entire
fighting strength.
With a population of less than one
hundred, Holywell mustered twelve
men of fighting age and they went
with the first rush of recruits for
Kitchener's army. Not a man came
back. Five fell at Gallipoli, two at
Jutland and the remainder in France.

1t Was Not Lost Upon Her, However,
That Her Withdrawal Had Little

voice. 81 think Herbert and Henry've

"Yes, really do, Florence. / think

"Herbert's eyes," continued Flor

she hurried away from the fence.

WastefuIness in Use of Coal.

Oil may possibly supplant coal for
heating purposes and for the driving
of machinery. But coal will always
hold it's own place in other ways, for
oil has little to give us in the way of
by-prOducts. When we burn coal we
use it in the most wasteful way pos
sible, obtaining from it less than a
fifth of the heat which it is capable
of giving out. and making no use at
all of the colors, the sweetness. the
disinfectants or the healing medicines
that are hidden within it.

HAPPINESS IN LABOR.

Nothing is more talked about than
happiness. But what Is It? Here Is
the answer: Happiness is great love
and much service. The great mass
of men are reasonably happy because
they are in love and at work. They
complain of their work; even call la
Dor curse. They dream of
life Of idleness and self-indulgence,
and imagine that Is heaven. 1t is not
1t Is hell. This world was made for

Plymouth in 1920 In relatively Fecent years they
have come to be known as the Pilgrims, but to
many of the name does not convey any idea
by which this small group is distinguished, when
the larger term puritan" is used. To most men
pilgrim" and Puritan are interchangeable
words.
These impressions are largely erroneous and
pecially so in confusing the purpose and the ulti-
mate achievements of Pilgrim and Puritan. The
Puritan the driving force which politically.
commercially, and morally created New England.
The Pilgrim, on the other hand had such driv-
ing power; but he made unequaled contribu-
tion to the progress of the world, in which the
Puritan had only a collateral part
The nucleus of what finally became the famous
Plymouth church was little group Of farmers
and laborers brought together at ScroOby, in the
north of England through the personal magnetism
and capacity of William Brewster. They were
part, and a very radical part, of the Puritan
volt of the time. They claimed to be a church.
but they had neither pastor nor organization. The
first article of their creed was opposition to the
established church, and while they were served
from time to time by the Puritan clergy of that
church, they were clear from the beginning that
they must separate from it wholly. This was about
1906
william Bradford united with this unorganized
group at about this time, and John Robinson a
little later. They were all spiritual rebels. Their
revolt was against the Puritans quite as much as
against the Episcopaans BY their standards
the Puritans of the two the greater sinners
because, having seen the truth, they paltered and
shufled; they stayed in the church.
Contrary to established and still persistent
belief, the members of the Scrooby congregation
were never prosecuted by either church state.
The Pilgrims went first to Amsterdam, but they
didn't like 1t. The city tolerated all sorts of
religious dissent. Therefore, while there work
to be had in Amsterdam, they finally settled in
Leyden-chiefy because that city had within 1t no
other religious malcOntents; they had the field
of dissent all to themselves.
The group never flourished. They were mostly
farmers and aborers. Leyden was an Industrial
city. Its Industries strongly controlled by
guilds, and it was necessary to become Dutch cti-
zens to get really lucrative employment. The life
was hard. The young people began to murmur.
Some began to break away. Some even became
Dutch citizens.
The original emigrants we're now approaching
middle life, and time pressing. They were
determined to remain English, but realized
that they could not do so If they stayed In Hol-
land. They then decided that while they would
