Let the Poor of the Earth Teach The Prosperous How to Pray By Bishop Warren A. Candler JAMES MARTINEAU, in one of his suggestive discussions makes this profound observation, "It is a law of Providence, that while in society knowledge DESCENDS, faith ASCENDS; while science, opinion, all ideas of the understand ing gravitate from the FEW to the 14 AN Y. affections. convictions, truths of conscience and the heart, rise from the MANY to the FEW ” Thio fact is not accepted generally, but it is in perfect accord with all recorded history. All the greatest religious movements of mankind have sprung from the masses aud not from the classes. In the days of Moses knowledge was with the Egyptians, but the true faith was in the hearts of the poor Israelites who were bending be neath the burdens and bleeding un der the lashes of their hard task masters. In the days of Ahab the fashionable world, under the leader ship of Jezebel, affected Baalism: but pure religion was preserved b/ such poverty-stricken prophets as Elijah and the seven thousand un known saints who refused to bow the knee to Baal. When Jesus walked among men. “the common people heard him gladly;’’ but the men of position aspired to crucify him. It was no accident that the Chris tian Church was set up by apostles, the majority of whom were fisher men. The council at Jerusalem be fore whom Peter and John were ar raigned noted the fact that the Apostles “were unlearned and ig norant men.” (Acts IV: 13.) The reformation was led by men like Luther, the son of a stone ma son: while cultured men like Eras mus had great searchings of heart and great cowardice combined with their smothered convictions. Luther was ready to go to the “Diet of Worms though every tile on the roofs were a devil”; while Erasmus wrote. “I mean to be as good a Christian as the time will permit.” The Wesleyan Revival in England in the Eighteenth Century, which saved the United Kingdom from so cial revolution and French infidel ity,- was a movement at first among the masses: from it the classes turned away in disgust, if not in in dignation. It has required a cen tury for men like Leckey, and Blr rell to see the significance of that benign movement among the plain people of the English-speaking world. If we are to accept the teaching of the Scripture, we must acknowl edge the correctness of this profound observation of Martineau. St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians. “Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty. not many noble are called.” St. James in his Epistle said. “Heark en, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the ppor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the King dom which he hath promised to them that love him?” The very nature of matters of conscience and things of religion is such that philosophic ability is not required to grasp tljese great inter ests of the soul so much as the sin gle eye and the courage of one's con victions. Hence, men who are bound to the world by many ligatures of wealth, social position, and personal ambition can not perceive clearly, nor dare concerning these lofty matters. The poor and incon spicuous. being free from such re straints as the world imposes, are more apt to recognize clearly and receive gladly the simple and sub lime truths of religion; they can af ford to believe and obey implicitly truths which the more favored class es are likely to consider as thorough ly impractical. The masses acknowl edge the authority of the Ten Com mandments and the Sermon on the Mount; yet a Senator of the United States has not hesitated to declare that they are “an iridescent dream.” Even in things political all great reformations originate with the masses who feel that they can dare to contend for that which is right. The Magna Charter was wrung from King John by barons who could not sign their names. At a later time the plainest people under Oliver Cromwell put an end to the tyranny of the Stuart Kings, and incorporated in the British Constitution other great principles of fundamental right. All these things being true, we «an not fail to see that the masses -have a mission to the classes far WOMAN AVOIDS OPERATION • Medicine Which Made Sur geon’s Work Unnecessary. Astoria, N.

If you want advice write to 4 Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. {confidential), Lynn, Mass.** more important than any service the classes can render the masses. From it follow most logically several con clusions of the utmost importance. It is obvious, for example, that a Church in which the plain people do not abound is doomed to cor ruption and decay. Such a Church has no reservoir of ascending faith to save it from itself. It is likely to dote on its culture and refinement and social influence to the forgetting of God and to the qualifying, if not to the utter rejection, of the sim plicity of the Gospel. The opulent and well-to-do rob themselves of the greatest spiritual blessings when they fall out of touch with plain people, and artange them selves into exclusive sets and cir cles. Their natural human sympa thies are hardened and chilled by such a process, and the courage of 'their faith perishes under the cor roding influence of cowardly cau tion. There are societies in many con gregations of wealth, whose mem bers talk much of their “missions to the slums.” and their schemes for “uplifting the outcast;” but they will do well to remember that they have more to gain from contact with the poor than they have to give to the objects of their pity. A woman of fashion, or a man of fortune, can learn more of God from the poor people in their plain homes than they can learn in drawing-rooms and public assemblies where only people of their own class are gathered to gether.’ ‘ ’ It is doubtless true that family worship is more common in cottages than in palaces. They who wear soft raiment and dwell in king's houses are apt to become prayerless. They rely so much on earthly support and lind such satisfaction in earthly goods that many of them feel they can do without God, and that they have no need of family al tars. This -fact has been noted by careful observers since the days of Job. In the Book of Job we find a description of such people, which perfectly describes them today. There it is written of them, "They send forth their little ones like a flock and their children dance. They tal;e timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. Therefore, they say unto God. Depart from us, we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?” (Job XXI: 11-15.) One of the most lamentable signs of the time is the decay of religion in the family. Ir. the Acts of the Apostles we come repeatedly upon charming pictures of households of faith; but in these days of plenty and prosperity we find few repro ductions of those charming manifes tations of domestic piety. And the family altar has disappeared in the main from the homes where it is most needed. It burns brightly in the plain homes.’of God's poor, but its fires are .yearly gone .out in the homes of . the, opuheuL H is a pity that ,auch ..Is the case, and the fact Uqde>.,no good for the Church or the Evep Robert Burns, who was far. removed from excessive piety, perceived the relation of the family altar to national greatness. In all his writings there is nothing more beautiful and true than the lines of his “Cotter’s Saturday Night,” in which after describing most tenderly the family worship of a Scotch peas ant. he says: “From scenes like these old Sco tia's grandeur springs, That makes her loved at home, revered abroad.” Let the poor teach the prosperous how to pray. Both masses and class es will be benefited thereby. Reisinger's Ari Collection Sold For $217,925 (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. Jan. 21.—The art collPc : tlon formed by the late Hugo Reisinger ' has been sold at auction for an aggre gate of 1217.925. The concluding sale was held yesterday when 87 water col ors and prints were sold for $10,730. The , highest price paid was $950 for Anders i Zorn's Etching "The Toast.” Low prices paid for the works of Ger man artists in the collection caused comment in art circles. Jn his will Mr. Reisinger directed that the German pictures should be sold at auction in Berlin, but owing to the war, the execu tors obtained permission from the sur rogate to sell them here. German art , concerns had representatives at the sale but were outbid in most instances by American dealers, collectors and museums. STATE CENSUS FIGURES ARE NOT RECOGNIZED (By Associated Press.)

WHAT ABE SABBATH DAY NECES • SI TIES. One judge holds something as law— and another judge says it isn’t. So we need not go to judges to tell us what it is needful to do on the Sabbath day— or what the law forbids. Even in the supreme court of the United States gen erally has on® or more disagreeing mem bers on every question. A few years ago a grocer was arrested in one of the Pacific coast states for allowing a customer to purchase some time there were plenty of things sold needful foodstuffs on Sunday. At that time there were plenty of things sold to eat and to drink, and to smoke in that town and nothing was said about it. The case went to court. The jdge de cided that it was lawful to sell grocer ies on Sunday, if it was lawful to sell the other things and the man escaped fine and imprisonment. The Master was rebuked by some straight-laced Pharasees for trespassing on Pharasee Sabbath law, and He said “their Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” It is generally conceded that street cars mst run on the Sabbath day, and passenger trains pull out as usual, and carry as many or more people around on Sundays than any day in the week. All of them take pay for the service. Our busy men must run to the barber on Sat urday nights to get shaved, but the newsboys crowd the streets on Sunday morning selling papers. 1 am told that grocery stores are open; all day Sunday out in California, with no kick coming, and 1 expect the back doors*of our own grocery stores would generously open if the groceryman knew who was tapping on the panels. We seem never to learn what are necessi ties while we never forget to kick on so-called “religious discriminations.” I can well remember when it was called a sin from the’ pulpit to cook a. warm meal on the Sabbath day and a whole neighborhood discussed the depravity of a church member who pulled up some tufts of grass in his garden and flung them to a cow that had tried to pull grass through the palings—because he look a rake in hand to get the tufts in convenient quantities. ’’Straining at gnats and swallowing camels,” or as the darky read it, ’’Straining at gates and swallowing saw mills.' ’ WILL WE GET NATIONAL PROHIBI TION? Some sanguine people believe we will get it earlier than 1918, but the majority of the prohibitionists believe It will be the ’’law of the land’ 1 in 1920. A number of states have gone dry very lately. The indications are that several more will be added to the dry column within the next two years. As soon as two-thirds of the states adopt the measure it decides the national pro hibition question automatically. Before that time, however, I believe the states will decide the question favorably and separately for themselves. 1 notice that Chairman Webb, of North Carolina, is reported as eager to present the bill to the house and senate at this time from the' house committee. Vir ginia’s senators announced last* fall their intention to vote the dry ticket whenever it goes to the senate. When a state acts in this matter every con gressman and senator should obey the state’s mandate likewise, and when you see the matter brought to a vote every representative and senator whose vote will affect the question will either obey the mandate of the states they hail from or they will go back to private life and their successors will be glad to do it. I notice that Savannah’s mayor has made public his intention to compel that city to respect the laws of Georgia. Sa vannah has never ’paid any attention to the prohibition law of Georgia. Open barrooms and beer saloons have been in full blast, if J may believe what her ministers say of the conditions. If there had been sufficient obedience to law hith erto there would have been no occasion for the hiatus in the last session of the legislature on the subject of pro hibition. , CALIFORNIA GIRL WORKS TO PERFECT NEW SHELL BERKELEY, Cal., .lan. 22.—Miss Beatrice Rudawsky, graduate student at the University of California, is at work on experiments intended to give a vast increase of strength to higli explosives. Within a lew weeks she will complete the labor of months and® in perfecting her discovery, believes sfhe will have a process that wil result in the most powerful detonator of shells known to science. Her experiments deal with a process which will create a volume of gas many times more terrific * than that of "Ex plosive D.” a secret American prepara tion used tn explode shells when they strike an object. During her work Miss Rudawsky has succeeded in making a weak solution of hexa-nitro-tuluol. This was considered impossible. The resulting substance is yellow and resembles needles. It Is placed on the ends of shells to explode when the target is struck. "I don’t sec why a girl cannot under take serious work in science,” said Miss Rudawsky. "I consider war a horrible way of settling national dieffrenccs. and I do not like to think of my experiments as assisting in human slaughter. If the discoveries I have made are valuable, I would rather feel that I had accom plished a step in science and consider the effect upon warfare and national defense to be a secondary matter. “Explosives, to my belief, are as valu able to peaceful pursuits as to war.’ •Ci \ f 17" ■' 'A' tv It Xf X fc. \ jfW&IMwWw B.ini. be fwert. the c.ntni- ,n c * nd popjit ft vX Stir, in one of our new- Vsy 7. e»tmo4el«.

In her first case she ap peared before Superior Judge Craig, of Los Angeles, to prosecute the father of twelve children who thought he had done his duty when he supported seven of them, leaving the other five in want. The new Portia succeeded in having the man bound over for trial. Miss Hibben’s position is peculiar in that she has not come into the district attorney's office as a specialist in wom en's cases, but to do a man's work, as ► the other deputies do, just as it comes to her from the district attorney’s desk. Eor two years and a half Miss Hibben has been "in general practice. Previous to that time she was a teacher in the law department of Southern California university.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. —Two hun dred thousand boy scouts, “better sol dier as to drill and military maneu vers than many state military com panies,” already are an effective nucleus for a future American army. Major General McAlpin, pres ident of the Boy Scouts of the United States, told the National Security league in a letter read today. Should the nation need these young men within a few years for its defense, they will find a well trained body to de pend upon,” he wrote. “Should their military service not be needed the nation will be the better by from one million to five million patriotic young citizens who will have been taught self-control, self respect, honor and patriotism, love and, respect for the flag.” Takes 9 Lawyers ToW in Hen and 11 Chicks for Woman PORTLAND, Ore..
