Reaching the Unchurched.
lThe Church az .Workl

| Il lie SHuICll dt w CIhj
Religious surveys have shown that
half, probably more than half, of the
people of the United States are not
even nominally connected with any
religious body. This means that there
| is an enormous missionary field right
here in America. We do not quite
realize the situation because the un-
churched people are not gathered to-
gether in definite areas. If certain
of the states and territories were
populated exclusively by non Chris
| tians they would constitute a tre-
mendous missionary appeal which no
Christian body could resist. But
everywhere throughout the United
States Christians and nom Christians
| are interminSled and the appalling
| fact escapes our attention. Or if 1t
does not escape our attention, it fails
| to arouse our active interest, because
| the problem seems everywhere a local
| problem rather than one great gen.
eral problem.
That the problem is not being
solved is demonstrated by the fact
that the Christian churches taken as
whole are not growing any faster
! than the population.
All over the United States efforts
are being made to reach the un-
churched. Evangelistic campaigns.
parochial missions, the opening of
missions and mission Sunday schools
educational and social service efforts
with evangelistlc motives, all these
are found to some extent. Mani
testify they are not proving success
full in any large way. We
simply want to stress the fact that
speaking generally. existing efforts
are not producing results Meas
ured by numbers of adherents, Chris
tianity is not making progress in the
United States.
How shall we reach all these un-
churched people with the message of
the gospel, these neighbors and fell

If KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backaehe Is Sign You Have
Been Eating Too Much Meat

When YOU wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworkS the kidneys in
their effort to filter it frcnn the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste, else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells; your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts: take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice.

The Ancient Order of Shifters
a Historical pppn1


Old Adam was Shifter,
He initiated Eve. =
Eden grew too warm for them,
The Shutters had to leave.
Cain then shifted with his club,
Took in his brother Abel.
Murder just invented,'
So ran the \. z. cable.
Noah shifted in the ark
When tho rain began to fall
The great men IF antiquity
1t seems were ShiftcrS all.
Solomon shifted among his wives
For reasons good or bad,
He was the greatest Shitter
The Shifters ever had.
Columbus was a Shifter,
We read it in a book.
They say the son inherited
The fathers shifty look.
The Shifters once were Buzzards,
Then were Buffaloes.
No matter what the name is,
Still the order grows.
Last night I joined the Shfters,
l paid the checks last night,
They got something for nothing,
The Shifter's chief delight.
Yea, now | am Shlftcr
With the clip upon my coat,
But when / Joined the Shifters,
l became the Shifters' goat. +'t
Yet the Shlfter craft is ancient,
And as the shifting sand.
Their members are innumerable
In all this broad fair land.

This young fellow got married and

and he paid no rent. So one day his
father said to him:

to you-make you present of it, lock,
