Teaching the Art of Living.
Tli® church is commissioned also
lo teach and train those who are
neb with its evangelistic message..
Tie term. Religious Education, has
come to mean a specific thing in our
country’, namely, the training ot the
people in the local church in ihose
deep matters which pertain to the
art of living. 1 am not now spe.skint
of the work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at our doors, in the con
pegation. Every agency in reach
ihouid be employed to the utmost in
tile important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made a sort o!
university for all the people, in v. hich
tie simple, practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
ipecial phase of the church's work re¬
ceived anything like adequate atten¬
tion. The New Testament word for
It is Edification.
School of Religion Needed.
Of course, the Sunday School is th*
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun¬
day School should cease to be so
named. It should be called the School
I of Religion or the Church School or
wmething else that indicates it to be
an gll-the-v. eek activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as well as distinctly religious meetings,
should bt held. Thickly settled neigh¬
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development of
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
la committed is that of Christianizing
the social order; that of infusing the
*pirit of Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.
Neighborly Love Essential.
If religion pervades aud colors the
whole life then ours is serious bust
ness, for it will let no corner of the
world escape its influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not a
ddug to be practiced in a corner the
tetter for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris¬
tianity, was. Can It be made to square
with the human reason? Of the nine¬
teenth, Can it be made to square with
“e results of scientific research ? Of
the twentieth, What can it do? Vi e

MUST STORM THE FORTS.
It la Not Good Tactics For an Army to
Pass Around Them.
Wby not go around a fort instead of
trying to storm it? Wby not circle the
ramparts and proceed swiftly onward
with the army intact, leaving the sol¬
diers in the fort, after a manner of
speaking, holding the sari as well as
the fort?
An officer in the cavalry of the Unit
ed States army explained why such
veranda strategy isn't used and why it
cannot he used.
"If it is a mountainous country the
fort would be placed in the pass, the
only road through which an invading
army could travel.” he explained.
“There would be uo fortification on
either side, but it would be impossible
to move an army with its gnus and
supplies over the mouDfaimt A single
man would have a hard time making
the trip.
•‘Suppose the country were level and
the forts were forty or fifty miles apart.
In that case it apparently would be
easy for the army to pass between the
strongholds. The army tries it. The
defenders of the country throw up
field fortifications between the forts.
Behind every rock and roll in the
ground a man with a gun is bidden.
Rifle pits are dug hastily. The invaders
encountei opposition, but perhaps they
sweep on.
"Then this would happen: The forces
from the forts would sweep out across
the rear and cut off the base of sup¬
plies. The invaders would be without
food, and the men would have no time
for sleep.
"In two days the organization would
be destroyed, and the enemy's cavairy
approaching from the rear would nit
the invaders to bits. Soldiers without
food aud denied sleep ran t tight. Men
remember their discipline best oil full
stomachs. An army cm oft from its
base of supplies wouid fall apart aud
be an easy prey for u much smaller
force.
"It is better to take the fort if pos
sible. The communication with the
rear, where the supplies are. is thus un
iuterrupbd. aud most of the opposing
force is driven ahead."- Kansas City
Times.
Tried It on the Postman.
A young business woman ou her
way to the car. at closing time, stopped
at tie (six to mail a letter. Just as
she was about to drop the letter in
tin* box tlie collector arrived and.
reaching for it. said, "i'll take it.”
The .voting woman looked at him a
moment and handed him the letter ,
with the remark. "Now. don’t forget to
put that in the postoffice.”
The collector looked at her in dis¬
gust and said nothing
"He never saw the joke,” the youug
woman said after she had told the
story of the ineideut. "1 suppose he
has no women folk in his family who
know that the letters they intrust to
the men are carried around in their
pockets for days before they are mail¬
ed’’—Columbus Dispatch.
