A leading delegate is Senator elect
Henrik Shipstead, the ck-hunting
dentist of Minnesota, a Farmer Lab
orite. The Partisan League is
crumbling and becoming the tail to
Labor's kite in the Northwest: but
Townleyism is well represented. The
American Farm Bureau Federation is
not present, but the radical farm

cation, the Farmers National Coun-
Gil. is one of the prime movers.
Frederick C. Howe, immigration
Commissioner at Ellis Island few

ures. Senators La Toilette, Brook

zeal groups are well-wishers. The

DeS MONIES, July o.-1he fanny g"
tar, worshipped by families daily In
homes, will prevent divorce, according
to Rev. Stanley B. Vandersall of Bos-
ton. who spoke today before the inter-
national Christian Endeavor ConVen-
ton here. IAN analysis of the homes
that have been wrecked would no doubt
show that family PRAYER was lacking
in those homes" SAID Rev. Vandersall.
THE seeds OF divorce can find no
fertile soil in the homes where father
mother and children each day repair
In unity OF spirit for divine blessing,
added DIR. Vandersall. Divorce courts
are a necessary part OF our govern
mental machinery. but II the iamiiy
affairs are established in all the homes
in America the divorce courts will be
driven out of business. 1t is true that
some benefit would follow the enact
ment of laws making it more difficult
to get divorces, but this will not cure
the divorce evil. What Is needed IS
something to promote love and good
with Family prayer will do that very
thing"
Cooperation between public school

Of criminals and evidence that q large
proportion of children are not taught
biblical truths and standards.
"A plan is being worked out in
number of cities, said DIR. MagiH, by
which both the state and the churches
can cooperate in giving school chill
dren both the general and the religious
education needed which is fair and
equitable alike to Jew and Gentle,
Protestant and Catholic. The purpose
is two-fold: To train the youth OF
our country for q life Of service and
good citizenship and to bring them in
to the churches. : 80.
THE separation Of the church and
the state is a fundamental principle
of our government but this does not
mean that the state can get along with
out the church nor the church without
the state.
what more patriotic service can be
rendered than to train UP the youth OF
America in an intelligent understand
ire Of the Bible.

"Of course, one speaks advisedly in

Then I came down town and saw
seemingly everyone interested in the
bulletins Of the prize fight. This
hardly seemed fair to those worthless
who stood dispensers for the Decla-
ration of Independence.
We agreed with him. There are
those with whom we do not agree.
Those who assume the people have
read and know all about the Declara-
ton, who fully appreciate all it's fine
points-and it is full of them even if
the horse flies from a neighboring
stable were biting the shins of the
signers that hot morning-that hav-
ing read and studied it they have de-
ciled to throw it aside as obsolete
and are ready to take up with some
thing new, some arrangement spon-
sored by Mr.. Lenine, for example. On
the contrary, we are of the opinion
that.i the people acquaint them
selves with the conditions attending
the development of this Government,
they will be slow to take up with the
various isnls. They will no doubt
feel need of improvement, but tearing
down the edifice and building anew
scarcely appeals to them. Being in
terested in prize fights they at least
appreciate the value Of training and
experience.
