the sense of horror at the
plight Of the man in the

glimpses of him as he slid

Then Peter, in his impulsive-

LET In THE SUNSHINE

Due to increasing know
ledge of the health menace
of a smoke and SCOT polluted
atmosphere, gas is destined
to be the principal source of
heat in, large cities, since ii
is the outstanding smokeless
fuel.
No method of heating can
hope for a prosperous future
unless it recognizes the three
essentials, health, comfort
and cleanliness. Humidity is
as vital as proper tempera-
ture. Gas stands head and
shoulders above every other
fuel when it comes to per-
forming the dual task of
heating and moistening the
air.
A proper understanding
of the beneficial effects of
sunshine is the first step in
preventive medicine. Ii
brings us to realize the need
of squeezing every ounce of
benefit from this life-sustain-
ing force that is the greatest
of all germ-killers.

LET the righteous be glad; let

them exceedingly rejoice.
The stone was taken away from
the sepulchre. Jesus said He would
rise again, and He kept His word.
Who can imagine the establishment
and surprise when the people OF
Jerusalem learned that some one
had rolled the stone away and the
sepulchre was empty?
Doubtless, on the morning OF
that third day when the glorious
tidings ives being carried through
the magnificent city the homes of
the righteous were filled with joy
While others were Struggling their
shoulders and received the tidings
with. contemptuous ineredulity, the
righteous rejoiced because. they
knew it was all wonderful-glori-

The philosophy, the ability to
comprehend, the way that such a
wonderful event could take; place
evidently was beyond their under

it is also Easter with Our Loved

has risen, so shall we. They are
looking this way, and we are look

system is naturally wasting away;
the passing years bring increasing

WHY TEAR DOWN
CHURCHES?

A writer in a popular
magazine, described as IAN
editor, author and organ
izer," claims that there are a
hundred thousand superflu-
Gus Protestant churches in
the United States, and
argues that a large number
Of them ought to be torn
down in the interest of
religious and 'suplift" effic-
iency. Most of these super
fiuous buildings, he points
out, were erected before
American life had been
reyolutionized by the cheap
ear, the movie and the radio.
Others have been left high
and dry and out of place by
shifting populations.
However, one wonders if,
instead OF a general tearing
down campaign, it might mol
be well to wait a little longer
upon the logic of events and
Of times. A church that has
ceased to serve is usually
eliminated by sale for some
secular purpose, or it is ex-
changed and given over to
the uses of another incoming
population Of a different
order, and so continues to
serve a purpose.
As to the languishing
church. that is another mat
ter. Someone may always be
secured who will turn the
''languishing" into profitable
activity. The policy here is
not to lear down the church.
or otherwise dispose of it.
but to bring it to life. The
idea of tearing down
churches will never be popu-
lar. A much more useful
work will be somehow to
provide real men for them,
to. bring back to usefulness.
where such a policy is
humanity possible.
And that is, indeed, a real
problem. How are the
churches to find, in their
heads, the old spirituality.
the old devotion, the broad
and comprehensive under
standing of the people
among whom they serve?
Not to tear them down,
but TO build up, would be the
ideal solution. Has the day
passed when such men can
be found2
