breeding such remarkable divergence
of type and form into his dogs, man
has foolishly thought to better Nature
by docking the tails and cropping the
ears of certain dogs, notably the ears
and tails of the bull terriers and the
ears OF the Bostons. 1t is true that
the cropped ears of the latter breed
seem to add a certain cockiness of ex-
preston to these dogs that strikes the
average beholder as most becoming;
but it is probably no less true that
much of the spectators pleasure Is
simply the result of custom.
If the best bred dogs should come
into the rings for several years with
natural ears, the fancy of the public
in this regard would change, so that
before long outstanding, stiff ears
would begin to appear ugly. Mutila-
ton among human beings has long
passed out of custom except among
certain uncouth savage tribes. Let
the dogs of civilization remain, then.
as they come from the hand of their
Maker-with lop ears if their ears be
loppy. with outstanding ones il their
ears he naturally erect. The fault is
not in their ears, but in ourselves.
that we do hold them ugly.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. rREsMAN D. D. Id,
Bishop OF Washington

adversely, no matter whether in health
or sickness. no matter whether at home
or abroad, 1t must be to them the con.
tinuing center of their devotions, the
perpetual witness of the presence and
leadership of God in the life Of the
nation. Even the alien and the
stranger who was privileged to tread
its courts must feel the assurance of
the presence and peace OF Him to
whose glory 1t was builded. It must
be to the people at large more than all
else in their life.
In the hurry and haste of this fitful
age in which we are living we Of
America have given scant heed to the
significance, Importance and value of
these great temples. We are so ut
build on such large lines our indus
trial and commercial institutions, that
we have not found time to give con-
sideration to temples that in monu-
mental grandeur speak of the majesty
and glory of God. In the developing
OF our great cities we have found no
place to express in adequate and mag
nificent terms the faith that we still
believe underlies and secures to us
the dearest and most sacred things of
life.
In recent drama the clever author
makes his chief character in the criti.
cal moment of the play ask the uues-
ton, as he views the shattered body
of a youth slain in battle, What price
glory?" 1t is indeed u searching in
quiry.
AS one views the amazing and al
most tabled growth of this Western
world of ours one Is compelled in more
reflective moments to ask again this
same seal ching question, what price
glory?" We seek for permanence.
We would guarantee to our children
and children's children the rich heri-
tage that is ours. We would throw
about our institutions such safeguards
as must preserve them to the genera
tions that are to follow. If our age is
to be judged by what we create, if
our standards of living and habits are
to express themselves in such endur-
ing terms that those that come after
us are to understand and approximate
us at our full worth; in fine, If we are
to leave behind us witnesses not only
to our skill and genius. but that which
speaks OF our moral and spiritual
worth. then surely we must look to it
that the expression of our highest and
holiest hopes and aspirations be given
enduring and conspicuous considera-
ton. We create vast buildings in the
capitals of our several States to wit
ness not only to the dignity of the
Commonwealth, but to it's increasing
power and splendor. Dare we do less
in creating that which appeals to the
imagination, as we'll as to the deeper
emotions, that calls for the highest
genius and skill of which man is ca
pable? Sooner or later the great ques-
ton must be asked, What price
glory?"
