SUINTDAT, AUGUST 3G. "
Helpfulness Is Productive of Happiness
It has been demonstrated, over and over again, that it is
for man’s best interest to observe a day of rest; he needs it for
relaxation from the cares of the week and for refreshment for
the labor of the week to come.
In the Bible we are exhorted not to forsake the assemb
ling of ourselves together.
Moreover we are urged repeatedly to worship the Lord
in his courts; “Let us come before His presence with thanks
giving.’’ “I was glad when they said to me, let us go into the
house of the Lord.”
“The Sabbath was made for man; not man for the Sab
bath.”
“A Sabbath well spent brings a week of content;” that is
a Sabbath spent in the proper way—and that includes, of
necessity, church attendance—prepares us for what we have
to do during the coming week.
Many of the most useful people of the world have been
church goers;believing in the services and profiting physi
cally, mentally and spiritually by them.
The captains of big things find in church services rest
and change, refreshment and uplift; and the new duties to
be confronted during the week are easier because of the rest
of the Sabbath day.

Sensational Caillaux Trial Has Given Many the
Impression That France is Not a City
Where Common Sense Abounds
Paris.—l have been wondering what
your impression is of the French as a
nation, aftsr you have read columns
of newspaper articles on the sensa
tional Caillaux trial. Vivid word pic
tures of the scenes in the court, I
guess have given you an idea that
Paris at least is a circus and not a
city where cold common sense
abounds. It would be a thousand
pities if you judged France by what
you have read of the great cause cele
bre. To understand, you must know
the French and their temperament;
their methods and their way of reas
oning. A court trial is no true index
to the nation. It is merely a question
of prevailing method. The American
is better able to appreciate the true
situation than even the phlegmatic
Englishman who lives so near to us.
Different.
A trial by judge and jury in France
differs irr every particular from every
other court in the world, I imagine.
The whole attitude of the court is
vastly different from that one known
In America, In England and in Ger
many. The big trial here has all the
elements of a first-night and can you
wonder that we claim to be the dra
matists of the world —masters of stage
technique? Had you seen and heard
the Caillaux affair you would have
understood. The Judge and lawyers
do not call the accused "the prisoner”.
It is Monsieur or Madame. You
might compare "Madame” to the
leading lady In an emotional drama
and the words of counsel are such
that you might imagine they had been
framed to bring frenzied applause
from the denizons of the gallery.
Appeal Emotion.
The one object Is to appeal to the
emotions. And every sort of extran
eous matter is admitted. French Juris
prudence seeks to evoke the atmos
phere, to build up probabilities. What
is the mentality of this person? Is
she capable of committing a crime,
and what are the motives she would
be likely to have? And so the re
motest facts are brought in stray re
marks, conversations of years ago.
From the prisoner’s viewpoint the
French system is preferable to all
Others, Here we have the unwritten
law with a vengeance. I verily believe
that you could select an impression
able Jury, who would forget a vile
murder under the bewitching gaze of
a beautiful virago. Even the male
prisoner always has a chance of some
Intervention In his favor. He can
make appeals to the human side that
is uppermost in the most judicially
minded Jury. On the other hand the
prisoner's permlsalpn "do tout dire"
may result, and often does In harm to
his cause. He has said too much. A
eelebdated English Judge is said to
have praised the French system on
that very ground that one was more
likely to learn the whole truth. Yet

i Eveis great man owes what he is to his spiritual attitude.
His nature inclines to service to God, to helpfulness to his
fellowmen, to being more human and humane in his attitude
towards life, and to being and doing that which will benefit
others as well as to benefitting himself.
Church services therefore are essential to big and little;
to the physically strong as well as to the physically weak;
the word appeals to the mentally strong and the mentally
keen; the essence of religion is uplift of soul and spirit, the
increase of understanding of the laws of God and man; the
betterment of the world in general.
No church has all the workers it needs; no congregation
is so efficiently organized as to be beyond the need of more
helpers.
There is a niche in the moral life of the community in
which you will just fit; where you can do what you desire for
the uplift of those about you.
The churches of this community therefore want your in
terest in the services pf Sunday, your help in the work the
church is doing week after week and month after month.
They need you! Will you help?

The characteristic aspect of the go-to-church Sunday 1h that It
is a newspaper enterprise. It derives its original Impulse and
much of its propulsive power from a newspaper or several nowe
papera. It Is a new note sounded In (he closer co-operation of the
two great forces for social regeneration—the pulpit and the press.
* It is this phase of the euhject that is worth more than passing
notice. Hlowly the church has awakened to the power resident in
printer’s ink. when that power Is set In motion by broad intelli
gence and kept moving by aggressive thought. The press has real
ized that the church is a medium through which it can most readily
accomplish the several reforms for society to which it has address
ed itself. There is no reason In the world why these organizations
should not co-operate and many why they should.
Newspapers have filled stores with customers, have filled banks
with dollars, have filled schools with scholars. What reason why
they should not fill churches’with people? It is necessary first to get
people into the church before they can ho Influenced by the things
the church teaches. The world may yet see accomplished by proper
publicity what has been done by Billy Sunday and other evangelists
The medium of newspaper eo-operatlon Is at the door of almost
every church In the country. Spectacular evangelists are few and
far between, their cost, prohibitive to smaller communities and their
value disputed in large ones. It may be that, go-to-church Sunday
Is the forerunner of a new order of things In the Christian church.
