courageous and Industrious mentality
OF Col. Bryan was turned from po-
litical economy. He might have con-
vinced many agitated people abroad
that communism, in addition to being
immoral. is a fraud and a faIlacy.
The task might not have proved easy,
but it would have aimed at more

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Noises that float in through the
windows when one Is lying down have
always interested me, perhaps mostly
because they seem to interest no one
else.
Maybe 1t is because most persons
have not thought about the matter
before that the subject OF outside
noises does not intrigue their fancy. i
am sure, however, If they would take
pencil and a piece of paper and jot
down the sounds they hear they would
be both astonished and interested.
In the space of five minutes one can
note such an amazing variety of
noises, both pleasant and unpleasant,
that he realizes by keeping up the
work he could discover many, many
more
The occupation becomes a sort of
game to while away the time when
headache or some other indisposi-
ton requires that one take the hori-
zontal position for a time. In this
regard 1t Is interesting to recall that
eminent psychologists say that mans
original standing position" was hori-
zontal not vertical.
Only by countless ages-centuries-
OF effort, they declare. has mankind
been able to go on two feet instead of
four. There are some PHILOSOPHERS
who phrase their doctrine as follows:
Never run when you can walk,
never walk when you can stand, never
stand when you can sit, never sit
when you can lie down."
AS there iS always an opposing doc
trine for every one in this world, the
antithesis Is given by the ultrastrenu.
Gus:
Never lie down when you can sit
20
stand when you can walk, never walk
when you can run"

The report is signed by Burton

editor of the Richmond (Va) News
Leader. Ira w. Stratton. FORMER
mayor of Reading, Pa. and Wiliaro
Warner, prominent churchman, OF
Chattanooga.
In the triennium now closing there
has been a failure on the part OF the
church to meet the requirements VI
the budget of $4,241,05 adopted az
the Portland convention in 1877, ana
the financial problem Of the ensuing
three years will be one of the serious
questions the New Orleans meeting
will have to grapple with, the report
points out, and adds:
1.-THE adequate solution OF the
problem of maintaining and 1ncreas-
ing the active and effective interest,"
of the laity in the work OF the
church is essential to the contlnu-
ance OF the life of the church itself.
mo Church, not even though it
were the admitted repository OF the
pure faith once delivered to the
saints, can perpetuate itself beyond
a single generation except by the &C
cession of new members. No liturgy,
no matter how. satisfying its express
sion and no matter how compelling
it's appeal, can purify the minds and
lift up the hearts Of those who never
hear it's words. No discipline, no
matter how sound it may be In psy-
chology, nor how powerful it may be
in practice, can mould the lives and
strengthen the souls Of those who do
not come under it's influence.
without the enlistment of the &C
tive enthusiasm, without the release
of the spiritual zeal, and without the
employment Of the missionary i'm
pulses of the laity, the church must,
inexorably live manned and halt
ing life"
The committee points to the fact
that with the exception of the Broth
erhood of st. Andrew, the Episcopal
Church has notably neglected the
field of lay activity.
There can be no denial" says the
report. first, that the Episcopal
Church has not actively and intens-
lively gone about the task of organic
ing and inspiring and applying the
energies of it's laymen, as whole.
for the work of the church as a
whole; and, second, that both by
reason. by history and by unanswer-
able examples of other communions
a vast source of beneficient energy
has been neglected alike for the en-
richment of the spiritual life of the
individual layman that serves, and of
the corporate church that is SO sup
ported"
The report cites action by various
provinces and dioceses looking to or
ganized work among the laity, and
recommends to the General Conven-
ton the consideration of a number of
suggestions which it outlines where
by the interest of the laity in the
work of the church may be promoted.

DENYING HIS OBLIGATIONS

Senator George w. Norris of
Nebraska in the nearly forty years
he has been seeking Office has done
so as a Republican and on Repub-
lican tickets. Such procedure ap-
pears in no way to have impressed
him with any sense of obligation to
the party under which he has sought
and held Office. Presumably he thinks
he has conferred a favor on the Re-
publican party by permitting the use
Of his name on the several Repub-
lican tickets. Men have been known
to get that way and there is no
other explanation in the case of Nor
ris except that he has been taking a
rascally advantage of the party by
masquerading under it's protection
and support. Even so it isn't clear
where he finds warrant to his con-
science in so lending his name to a
party, If he finds it unworthy Of his
support.
In denying any purpose to lead or
be candidate of third party Sem
ator Norris takes occasion to an
nounce, what has long been evident,
that party has little significance for
him, that he is willing to work in
unison with anyone, regardless Of
his party aff1liation", presumably
whether that work be designed to
upset the applicant of the party with
which the Senator is nominally affil-
lated.
One might infer that it was not
because the Republican party stood
for certain methods of government.
certain principles and purposes; that
by means of such party organiza-
tions we have conducted our affairs
since we became a nation, that SEN
ator Norris was induced to ask the
suffrage of Republicans to enable
him to continue in Office. There IS
such thing as being too partisan:
also such a thing as denying the
obligations which common sense and
fair play place upon us.
