CHURCH POSTER CAMPAIGN.

Five hundred dollars is offered by
the Poster Advertising Association,
Inc, 307 S. Green street, Chicago, Ill.
as first prize for a great Church Post
er Prizes of two hundred and one
hundred dollars are to be given for
paintings winning respectively second
and third choice. The contest is
worldwide and open to any artist.
Every year members of the Poster
Advertising Association, Inc, contrib
ute space on their panels to the promo
ton of human welfare. Religious post
ers always have great appeal, accor-
ding to Mr. Louis st. John of the At
lantic City Poster Advertising Compa-
ny, local member OF the Poster Adver-
tising Association, Inc. The Church
Poster Contest, he says, is conducted
in the hope that some artist will paint
a great conception of what the Church
has meant TO civilization The display
of such a Church Poster in the thirteen
thousand cities and towns of the Unit
ed States in which Association mem
bers have plants is expected to greatly
benefit the churches and 10 deepen the
religious feeling of the millions of peo-
pie who will see it.
The subject idea for the poster is
given in the rules governing the con-
test, as follows:
Broadly, the idea is to picturize the
place of the Church in civilization.
What does the Church mean to the
human race of the world2 What is
the relation of the Church to human
need?
THE Church is the foundation and
likewise the permanent structure of
civilization For all that is good we
are indebted to our religious beliefs
for which the Church is our symbol.
The Church is the expression, the tan
gible and intangible bulwark, the in
terest and reality of human need.
eff this idea were expressed in a
great 24-sheet Poster and given dis
play throughout the nation, the effect
could not help being remarkable in an
awakening of the spiritual and in an
appreciation of the Church.
Here is the greatest subject for ar
lists. The idea should mean great
conception And millions of people
will see it"

entered port after making long voy-
age. Eighty years of life on the sea.
Imagine his joy when he sent a mes
sage to his own happy home that he
would be with them on the arrival of
such train. Who can imagine the
joy that went into those happy hearts
as they fastened to the depot to meet
one so long absent? The train arrived
but he was not there, instead sad
telegram was handed to a member of
the home. The angel of death had
overtaken him and he was gone.
Why?
Last sabbath afternoon, after preach
ing, | accompanied a broken hearted
father and mother to the grave where
the form of their little rosebud was
silently sleeping. | said to myself,
The little treasure was not there, He
was here, / was made susceptible of
his angelic presence. God Himself has
made provision whereby heaven and
earth are brought as near together as
our frail vehicles can bear. But Why
the ordeal? Why must our roads to
the heavenly country lie through such
deep valleys?
The query will not down. The mys-
terry of Providence seems to be per-
picking. This is because His ways are
not as our ways, nor His thoughts as
our thoughts. Sad but true under
these severe experiences many have
turned infidel and have chosen death
instead of life.
Lift the eye heavenward and you
will plainly see that those dark tun-
nels lie in every christian mans path,
but no cloud is neither dark nor big
enough to blot out the light that lies
at the other end of the tunnel, If we
keep our eye heayenward. Men have
been known to fall from the highest
heights of prosperity to the depths of
adversity, but the fall landed them at
the gates of heaven. One such man
knew. He had lived more than his
three score and ten His heavy losses
hastened his departure. He was a
man of the highest honor. He was a
living epistle of God easily read by all
men. God loved him and was not go
ing to let him have anything but a
peaceful departure. Like the tempest
tossed mariner coming into port after
his stormy voyage, the masts were
broken, the sails were torn, decks
showed that they had been storm
swept, but the Pilot was at the wheel,
and the craft was safely brought into
harbor. This noble-hearted man of
God had seen the face of the Pilot,
before he made his departure. | never
forget what he said to me, at is all
right. My Father may have seen that
my mind was getting too far away
from him." The tide of business was
beginning to possess, absorb the whole
man. God loved him and in his mercy
he stopped the current and set in the
oceanic current of his love and took
him home. Like him when Jesus
comes to tell and explain to us all

Mr.. James II. Allen, of 26 Forbes
St, Rochester, N Y, suffered for years
with rheumatism Many times this
terrible disease left him helpless and
unable to work.
He finally decided, after years OF
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the accu
mulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved ir
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea IN mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and f
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery, which
he called Allenrhu, to others who tool
1t, with what might be called marvel
ous success. After years of urging he
decided to let sufferers everywhere
know about his discovery through the
newspapers.
The blessed relief this marvellous
prescription quickly gives has made
for it thousands of friends" say On

pened
Dear Ones, be faithful, be of good

ing us now. Some there are whom the
world captivates. They are not full
filling their vows, they are not count

fuse to obey that they may win Christ.
Our way may seem hard, rough and
long, but for the joy set before us let
us so run that we obtain the crown.
We are assured that we shall not be
tempted beyond what we shall be able
to bear, and that ali our suffieiency is
of God.
If we could push ajar the gates OF life,
And stand within, and all Gods work
ing see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery find key.
But not to-day; then be content. poor
Gods plans like lilies pure and white
unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves
apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if through patient toll, we reach
the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed
may rest,
When we shall know and clearly UNI
derstand,

What do Thou knowest not now, but

13: 7.
Where grows the golden grain?
Where faith? Where sympathy?
In a furrow cut by pain.
That life is full of mysteries, that
the brightest life must have its shad-
ows, and the smoothest path its thorns,
admits no questioning. In the lives of
all of our Fathers own children there
is no escape from trouble of some kind.
The why's and wherefores we do not
know, but we do know that mo chast-
ening for the present seemeth to be
Joyous, but grievous, nevertheless af-
terward it yieldeth the peaceful fruit
of righteousness
Richard Baxter was one of Gods
veritable saints, his life was one of
hard toll, and real suffering. When he
realized the shadows were lengthening
and the skies were reddening he was
heard to exclaim, God, thank Thee
for a bodily discipline of Fifty-eight
years."
NJ own life-work has been one
wherein | have visited the homes of
Gods very own, and have found them
prOstrated on beds of aff1iction, others

swamped. After the souls departure
it seemed as though reflections of a
glory that was heavenly had dropped
to beautify the countenance. We could
only think of 1t as being the forthroes
of the coming resurrection.
Still it is asked Why? Why such
sore disappointments? Why such
heavy losses? Why such sad bereave-
ments?
Why does one need to be plowed,
made to feel the sharp teeth of the
harrow in order to bring forth some
thing in his life worthy of living?

full of hard questions that cannot be
answered Problems that cannot be
solved, anagrams we cannot read them,

TRANSIT HEAD HEARD
Commissioner Hardness Charges That Mayor Hylan Has Done Lit- tic to Relieve Subway Congestion.

New York, Dec. 2O.--During the seven years that John r. Hylan has been mayor of New York the city administration has done virtually nothing to relieve subway conges- ton and has appropriated only s5,- 250,000 for construction Of new subways not provided for in the dual subway contracts, according to Transit Commissioner Leroy J. Hardness.
 Tn his testimony yesterday before Justice John V. McAvoy, MT. Hark- ness said that the s5,250,O00 was ap- propriated for the extension of the Fourth avenue subway to Fort Hamilton, a distance of about half a mile, and for a mile extension Of the elevated Corona branch of the Greensboro subway toward Flush- ing. He declared these lines pro- vided local relief only and did noth- ing toward lessenng congestion in the main subway arteries.
 During Mayor Hylan'S two admin istrations, MT. Hardness testified, the city had borrowing capacity on the first of each year considerably in ex- cess of the average possessed at the beginning of each year by the Mitchell and Gaynor administrations. The transit commissioner read into the record statement by Comptrol- Ter Charles L. Craig, In which Mr. Craig charged the other members of the board of estimate with "fritter- ing away" the city's debt-incurring margin.

RADICAL CHANGES
 ON B, & M. ROAD
Motor Service to Replace Trains
 on Some Branches

Boston, Dec. 20.--Abandonment of 40 per cent of It's track mileage, sub- stitution of motor bus lines to care for communities thus 'exied', a complete financial reorganization and consolidation involving a bond issue of sf25,000,000 was the treat ment prescribed yesterday for the present condition of the Boston and Maine railroad by Chairman Homer Loring of the executive committee in report to the voting trustees.
 The plan was evolved after con- sutation with general bondholders. representatives of the United States government, which holds s4S,0OO,O GOO Of the roads bonds, and holders of large blocks of all classes of stocks.
 The 1000 miles, approximately, which would be lopped off the total track mileage Of 2,45O, handles only three per cent of the business, the report says. The Boston and Maine Transportation company has been organized to assist with supple mentary motor service.
 The financial plans call for con- version of present stock issues with additional subscription where de- sired; the exchange of bonds to others not maturing before 1940; and the utilization Of s13,000,00 900 cash thus received for profitable inl- provements to the lines continued in operation.
 The building of branch railroads on the theory that "a railroad run ming anywhere will pay" increased costs by standardization of wages, and the breaking Of the former monopoly by motor truck competi- ton were some of the causes found by Mir. Loring for the present situa- tin.
 Among his other suggestions were encouragement of the Boston Terminal facilities for higher eff ciency and release Of valuable prop erty and the identification, in part at least, of the road.
