increased in Asia from G22,4G0 l. 3s,057; in Africa from aie,s57 tt 1,0lE,Gss. In China the growth has been from 112,s0s to a02.5s9: h India, from s76,617 Ito aii,505, Everywhere indigenous peoples have been moved by the Christian ap- |, peal.
 This growth may not satisfy those who are impatient. but 1t must be remembered that the oak does not spring up overnight nor does light reach the earth immediately after leaving the sun. The result is a monument to the thousands of brave men and women who have 'labored in n-christian foreign lands, suffering terrible hardships, In order to bring the Message to the hearts of those who have been hltndly groping for the truth.
 The Rev. J. Emerson Ford, acting pastor of Trinity Methodist Episco- pal church. is doing two things at the same time and nobody can say he isn't doing them well. However, in order to get by there are hardly enough hours in the day but by sleeping little and getting up early in the morning the pastor is achiev- ing success in his double endeavors
 Rev. Mr. Ford, besides giving his pastorate careful attention, being present at meetings of church or ganizations and preaching twice on Sunday. leaves the city early every morning for trip to New Haven, where he is still taking a course in the Yale Divinity school. Mir. Ford
 has had pastorates but being ambi-
 tious, he connected with the Yale
 school as means of providing himself
 with additional equipment in his
 calling.
 The minister leaves the city very
 early every morning, using an auts
 mobile to make the trip. His alarm
 clock is set for an awakening early
 in the morning, and he arrives at
 Yale each day as early as the stu
 dents who live just around the cor
 ner. He returns to town in the after noon, sups, and makes ready for
 whatever evening engagements
 church organizations require. Some nights there are none and then there is an opportunity for extra study. While the minister Is busy at Yale, his good wife does some of the duties : usually devolving upon a minister. , As a caller upon parishioners Mrs. t Ford has made a splendid recSd. The other day she made 36 calls,
 visiting the sick and those who are 3 not sick, and being an effective r proxy for her husband. |, No minister could keep up MT. 5 Ford's pace for an indefinite time , but the pastor is able to do so for f while. His physique is good and his l health perfect. His quiet, dignified X personality and ability are much ad- n mired among the members of his s present congregation,

LACK OF MORAL RESTRAINT IN YOUNG

Juvenile misconduct continues to receive the attention of officials and social workers. Being in a position to make careful observations, Judge Justice Samuel Levy of the Chil- drcn's court in New York has opin- ions regarding the cause of crime that arc well worth considering.
 Speaking before a gathering in the metropolis he laid the cause Of juvenile crime to improper condi- tions in homes and failure of par cnts to send their children to church, or to give them religlous and moral training. Only one child in ten brought into his court, the justice declared. had been found to have any knowledge of religion,
 Jewish children in New York who are receiving no religious training total fully 4oV,Voo' the Ju9- tice says; and 90o,000 Catholic children and 100000 Protestant children in the metropolis likewise are receiving no religious training
 In view of the emphasis having been placed upon the need for re- ngious training of the youth 'h New Britain recently, it is clear that the emphasis in the justice observation has not been misplaced Children who do not have moral restraint inculcated into them are very likely not to cultivate it, nor exercise it during the twilight zone between youth and manhood ho' later.

Mrs, Columbus

By Wallace NJ. Bayliss Until this priceless world grows
 dead and cold The story of Columbus will be told, But nowhere in the books of his
 tory Will you find any tale of Mrs, C. Yet 1t was she. moro than Queen
 of Spain, Who helped Columbus deathless
 fame to gain, It is no cin2h to be a dreamer's
 wife; In fact she led wild and woolly
 life. From court to court she followed
 in his wake And when turned down, she'd say:
 For goodness sake, Buck up. Don't worry! Somewhere
 there's d king Who'll take a chance to win a
 handsome thing" She kept his courage up and never
 said That should he go, her heart would
 be like lead. At last when to the west he sailed
 from sight She took in washing and put up
 fight To feed the kiddies and to pay tho
 rent Until their Daddy came back whence he went. When he returned and things looked
 mighty bright She said: Don't lose your head
 sit pretty tight" i; He didn't, and eftsoon in jail h sat; She took in washing ever after that His dying words were: would tha
 Isabel Had been as true to me as my dea
 Nell" Which teaches husbands to aVoi
 all queens; On wife dear spend all your tim
 and beans.

thrown the other glove away" was Mrs. As much interrupted reply.
 From the Rome Daily Orb" Of B. c. 5:
 The opening of the horseback line from Rome to Athens, which took place yesterday, has caused a revival of the old fight between ex- ponents of this means of transpor- tation and tho Latin Chariot Co. A few years ago this concern held the franchise for the whole empire, except Egypt, and ran its speedy two-wheeled conveyances from one end of the Roman world to the other without opposition or compe- tltion. Lately, however. there have been several independent horseback lines started and the Latin Co. has even adapted itself to these faster form of transportation by institut- ing some on its own account.
 The board of triumvirs, however, has often refused franchises to these independents on the grounds that they would take business away from the chariot service, cause deii- cit in its treasury. and, as Decem | Percentum, one of the triumvirs, said, Then the stock would go down and we would lose our divi- dends and free passes"
 Asper Miscr, the president of the
 companys directorate, was inter- viewed by an orb" scribe today
 as was Audax Nux, one of the most
 fearless independents. Mser said
 that the chariot company accorded
 transfer privileges except in colonia
 rides, but Nux averred that the
 horsemcn charged so much less
 that riding by equine was cheaper
 even without a transfer. Nux saic
 that the chariot company was un
 able to keep 10 it's schedule, bu
 Miser retorted that even this wa
 better than no schedule at all, as
 cribing the poor service to the win ter storms, which frequently ob
 structed the roads, due largely t the Roman senate's laXness in no keeping the Numidian Albi Ales a work cleaning the streets.
 7 Miser also said that if a hors dropped dead en route the travele must walk the rest of the way
 while if one of the steeds drawin the chariot found the pace too ho there were still the others, and all died the voyager could still pu l the chariot himself. Audax Nu !. claimed that he could maintai : cheaper rates, as his only expense !. were for oats and horse linimen 7 whereas the chariot company ha s the further staggering cost of ax1 l grease. Miser claimed a charit ] could hold more than a horse, bt
 Nux turned this neatly by showin that fewer could be killed in til 3 fall of a horse than in a charit s wreck.
 s But, as Communis Commutato e g. resident of the suburban di 5 tricts, said We should worry vt - wins the fight as long as our sal = dals hold out"

OUR BKOADNuNDED SCHOOL POLICIES

Dr. E. II. Hand, of the Now | Britain teaching staff seems 10 be l a bit unfortunate in his choice of ! political thought and political &C., tivity, judging from the events of the past few days, He has failed to receive a new contract, which means that his services will be dispensed with next year, and, as far as we can determine, there is no particular reason given for dropping him, It will not require a great stretch of the imagination on the part of the politically wise 10 arrive at a solu- ton of the mysterious reason for his dismissal. Perhaps it would be just as fortunate for the doctor If he were a Republican in taste, or faiL- ing in that if he maintained dis erect silence as to the functioning of his mind, allowing no hint that he differed in thoughts from the standardized product of our stand ardized political mentality as eX- emplifcd in nearly all of the cerebral functlonings in higher cir cles hercabouts. It is not given for & man to think. my boy, when he is in a place where his thinking has to be done for him by others who even If not more capable, are more in accord with the majority.
 It is a dangerous thing, an eX- tremely dangerous thing, to even hint before the coming generation that there is more than one side to its thinking. The coming generation is not to think, my son it is to do as it's fathers did before it-haNe others who can sec but one side, dc its thinking. The coming generation like the majority of this one, must act, not think-and take the con- sequences of its shecp-like faithful ness to a state of mental innocence as far as deciding any political ques' tion is concerned,
 Just think-a Democrat in the schools might one day cause some of his pupils to use their brains. H' might drop a hint some day tha there is, was, or might in the flu ture be such d thing as a Democrat Think (and we beg your pardon fo asking you to do that which yo' may not dol what the hint of an knowledge that there is anything Du republican might do in the schools It is horrible to contemplate. Nt pupils of ours, you must becom standardized, even more so Una your fathers. you must be capaol of being counted among the faithfl when the day of election come your vote must be there long betof 1t is finally added to the column the winning side. Go forth, our boA and girls, and do your bit again' the common foe and keep right c doing it. Don't think-act.
 After all, however the convictic grows upon us that there must ! something to the democratic prlI ciples when the powers that bc a evidently so afraid that they will whispered abroad. What do th' fear? Converts? Evidently,
 Of course, Dr. Hand may ha
 been allowed to go for other reaso
 than political ones. But he shou
 not have taken part in Democrat
 politics during the last camPale
