HOW TO FILL PEWS

Throughout the country, this is a perplex-
ing problem-and an important one. 1t is SO
in Salisbury, where the Minister'S association
is giving it thought and, we are sure, prayer.
1t has come in for much editorial discussion.
This from both religion and secular papers
and periodicals.
Of course the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America is much in
terested in it. In a recent number of the Coun-
ellis official publication-the Federal Council
.Bulletin-there was carried the following edi-
toria1l upon tie subject, which is here passed
on for the good it may do, if any:
For a declining church attendance many
remedies have been proposed, most of them
designed to make the Sunday services more
popular" or entertaining. But the best solu-
ton of which we have heard, and one which
has certainly stood the test of experience upon
the part of its advocate, is found in the COM
ment of DR.. Charles E. Jefferson, who for 80
years has been the pastor of the Broadway
Tabernacle, in New York, and has never yet
had to preach to empty pew Doctor Jeffer-
son says:
people are tired on Sunday. They
have seen enough shows through the
week. They have had all the entertaining
they care for. What they want on the
Lords day is. a quiet conversation with
an earnest minded man who is interest
ed in the high things of the spirit and
who knows how to interpret the words of
Jesus and the signs of the times. Decla-
nation is a bore, oratory is an ~offense,
fireworks of every sort are an lmpertl-
hence, but a quiet talk on the deep things
of God is always Strengthening and heal
ing.
"A preacher who is content to speak
in everyday language to his people Sun
day about Jesus Christ, and the applica-
ton of Christian ideas to their personal
experiences and to the problems of their
generation, can be interesting and fresh
at the end of 80 years.
Doctor Jefferson's own ministry has been
a living proof of his words. interested in the
high things of the spirit" his preaching "a
quiet talk on the deep things of God" he has
spoken Tin everyday language about Jesus
Christ" And all who have heard him know
that this has made him a glowing and pro-
phetic interpreter of the significance of
Christ for every phase of modern life and
social relationships. Those who have sat I'M
der his preaching have found his preaching
of Christ a beacon light Illuminating both
their personal experiences" and "the prob
lens of their generation"
Even if others of less brilliant ability than
Doctor Jefferson do not find crowds flock
ing to hear them, they can, if they follow his
example, at least be a blessing and inspira-
ton to the more thoughtful spirits in their
communities and really fulfill the true func-
ton of their ministry.

this spring than last. One Of the
most popular, because it's one Of
the most practical, is sketched at the
center.
It's called the Vionnet suit.
Named after the French designer
who first made the suit that fastens
over to the left side in a diagonal
line.
This particular one has other vi
onnet details, too-the narrow col
lar, kimono sleeves and diagonal
seamings.
Some other side closing suits
won't have all these details. But
the fact that they do fasten over
at the side makes them Vionnet
type.
For General Wear
This suit is practical, so women
find, because it's neither too tai
lored nor too dressy. It's a good
general wear suit because it's sim
pie.
But it's soft-looking, too, and with
a more formal blouse can be worn
for dressier events.
And like the spring coat without
fur you can do all sorts of interesting
things to vary the looks of this suit,
with different scarfs and dress COL
lars.

NEw YORK. April 1.-Easter
4 y outfits can give you a lot Of
service this season-if you choose
them carefully. We can't remember
q spring when they've been more
practical or so full of good common
sense as they are right now. And
good-looking as well.
Want proof? All right-we're 60
ing to prove it to you. With only
three costumes. But they're three
that are typical Of many costumes
you find in your spring shopping.
Costume No. is the spring coat
without fur. There are literally hun
clreds of kinds. With narrow fabric
collars, scarf collars, no collars at
all, draped necklines.
You can do things with these
coats to change their appearance
and to make them more or less for
mal-as you like.
Wear Scarf, or Not
You can wear scarfs with them,
If you want to. Or put the scarf
or collar of your dress outside, if
the coat neckline is plain. You can
change the color Of your belt when
you change your other accessories.
The coat sketched at the left in
the illustration is particularly
adaptable and therefore practical.
The neckline can be draped up
like a cowl and fastened. This
makes the coat not only warm, but
very soft and feminine looking.
Unfastened, the collar falls in a
jabot effect Then you can wear a
bright scarf or leave the neckline
exposed to show the bright color OF
the dress beneath.
Here's Number Two
Costume No. 2 is the dress that
has its own matching jacket. A
fine street costume with almost the
same feeling as a suit-but lighter.
The dress, of course, can be worn
with your long coat. The jacket,
If it's plain color, makes an extra
jacket to wear with white dress,
or another dress of harmonizing
color.
Prints, plain fabrics, combinations
of print and plain-they're all
fashionable in jacket dresses. The
one we've sketched at the right
shows a simple pin tucked dress
(pin- tucking is very much in fash
ion this season. and straight pin
tucked cardigan.
The belt can be worn either on
the dress or on the jacket.
Number three is the spring suit.
Lots of them. More being worn

Just
Every
Day
Sense

A FRIEND of mine has a son
"A at military college. The
lad tells us that periodically the
professors talk to the boys about
their mental preparation for war.
They are told that they must &C
custom themselves to the idea of
fighting, since in all probability
they will be soldiers in the next
conflict.
Now this, of course, is to be ex-
pected in military school. But
it does not lessen the horror of
such training for the young.
War is, after all, only matter
of education. Most of us are will
ing to admit that. Yet over the
whole earth we teach our sons
that they must fight. DO we ever
use the more intelligent method
of training them in the sort of
knowledge that might help them
to avert wars? No, indeed.
XXTE put very slight emphasis
w upon an understanding of
the problems of government. We
take it for granted that our boys
will know how to manage the af-
fairs of their country. We assume
that they will be able to sit in
high political places and by their
native wisdom, decide rightly the
great questions that influence the
lives of millions.
And, as yet, our highest ideal
of bravery, it seems, is the ability
to stick a bayonet into another
person without flinching. AS to
the greater virtue of moral cour-
age, the only kind that ever has
brought about any real progress,
We take it very lightly in educa-
tional circles.
We talk pacifsm, and we train
for battle. Yet is it logical to say
that any boy can be taught to
believe in war and peace at the
same time?
If we took but an inflnitesimal
part of the money now spent on
military education and used to
train our children to keep peace
between men and rationS, we
could accomplish wonders. But
that, suppose, would be treason.

There is something out of balance
with person who cannot enjoy with
a thrill, crisp, well-blended salads, or
well-cooked and seasoned vegetables;
but no one can be blamed for refusing
unattractive food. Because the male

thing reheated, made over, or re-
hashed, the problem Of carefully con-
serving good foods and giving them
back in an acceptable form is one
which takes more finesse than hand

appetite for the coming meal. Plenty
of fruit and fresh vegetables are need

Another food that a well-nourished
