MORE ovERALLs NEEDED

Our friend, Tom Asbury, says
THE trouble with the country
today is that too many people
are wearing Sunday clothes every
day" Tom is right to a ,ertain
extent. Many people do very lit
tie work when they are dressed
up, and no doubt if they would
return to the old fashion of wear
ing working clothes during the
week and saving their best suit
for Sunday, conditions would soon
greatly improve. At any rate,
it's certain that work will improve
the average fellows financial con-
dition quicker than anything else.

CHILDREN IN THE NEAR EAST

M which have undertaken the work of re-
lieving distress and suffering among the
destitute and homeless peoples of the Near East
not confined to any particular locality or class,
it is commendable, and no. doubt expedient, that
particular attention is being given to the helpless
children who have been bereft through the de-
struction of human lives and property in those
regions occupied by Christian subject races. There
is no need to recount here the horrors of the in

all those who care to know realize it's awfulness

prosecuted in 81 different counties.
Emphasis was placed on the use of
more efficient methods in sewing and
on the selection of designs and colors
most becoming and suitable. More
than 10000 women attended the de-
monstrations. OF these, sos acted as
local leaders and carried the work pre-
sented by the specialist back TO groups
of women in their own communities.
In this way the local leaders reached
more than 5000 more women.

making clothing, the. broader outlook

10 the Macedonian cry for relief.

70 the M0ccOOnIau cry 1OI ISiicA.
It is an achievement indicative of the solidarity
among the inhabitants of Christian nations and
among the members of all Christian church or
CARNATIONS, that relief has been GWEN to more
than a million sufferers in the zones of the Near
East, and that today more than hundred thou
sand orphaned children are being fed, clothed, and
educated in the refugees maintained by the Near
East Relief It is these children, manifestly, who
constitute civilizations gseatest potential asset
or potential liability, in the lands which Moslem
greed has sought to depopulate and restore to the
rule of Muhammad. It is these children who
within few years, will go out into the world
either as opponents and defenders of the Christian
faith or as the avengers at the point Of the
sword, of the wrongs which they and their people
have suffered at the hands of their traditional
enemy.
It should require no argument to convince
any thoughtful person of the strategic necessity
of continuing the work which has been undertaken.
True charity could hardly be more concretely OF
effectively expressed. The youths who are being
cared for and sheltered are those of an intelligent
and progressive race. They are in no sense de-
cadent or backward. Their influence in coming
years cannot be overestimated or discounted. As
they are trained and taught, they are left to
fight single handed against overwhelming odds.
they will become either power for good, or the
ignorant, revengeful champions of a religion of
reprisal and destruction.
The conviction is that there has never before
been presented SO great an opportunity for true
missionary service. The need is not that great
masses of ignorant and superstitious peoples
should be taught the rudiments of Christianity
1t is that there should be conserved and protected
among adherents to the Christian faith the reali-
cation that it is indeed religion of brotherhood
friendship, and charity. There must be practical
exemplification now of the declaration, "By their
fruits We shall know them. Christian Science

WHEN MOTHERS BAKING BREAD

By Angela Morgan.
The house is warm and good
When mothers baking bread,
Every one is kindly if we only understood!
Little pools of sunshine
On the kitchen floor,
All the children lowering
About the oven door.
Pansies in the window
Blinking at the sun. {.
Everybody waiting till the bread gets done!
Fragrance has color
AS sure as you are born;
Baking day is wonderful
As golden bantam corn,
Darkening to beauty
Rich and brown and deep,
Cheering up the children
When mother lets them peep.
"Bless your hearts, my darlings,
For love you every one!"
Everybody waiting till the bread gets done.
When mothers baking bread,
The floor is scrubbed and clean
She doesn't make bit of fuss,
For mother isn't mean
Watch your tracks, my chickens,
Put some papers down."
We run to do it quickly,
For our mother doesn't frown.
Buffers in the icebox, Il
Jam is on the shelf r.
Go and get it, Jennie;
You can help YOURSELF"
Now the time approaches,
The oven door is wide. :
Goodness, gracious, children,
What a treats inside!"
Mummy, you're treasured"
They shout it, every one.
For everybodys happy when the bread gets
done.

Only few Sundays back, a Redwood Falls
pastor gave most wonderful talk the subject
of Death His talk took from this Dread all of
its dreadfulness, all of the fear and horror and
sadness, and left only the beautiful mystery, the
promise, the surety and the sorrow which is less
a sorrow than a sweet remembrance. The other
day in reading the column of The Periscope Man
of the Duluth Herald, we came across simple
bit of philosophy by "Uncle Gus, the simple
homely words and and the simple, honest thought
being laymans clincher to part of the pastors
message. At the risk of running up against the
copyright laws we are reprinting Uncle Gus few
words on the subject.
