To

these ( Judges the Sunday school Is u major Inatitntion of American life of primary imporiunei- in national welfare. The latest comes from Su | pretne Court Justice Fawcett, of Brooklyn, N. Y. ))„ nays, “In the eighteen yety-n of my experience on the bench more than 4,090 boys loss than twenty one years old have beet, arraigned before me charged with various degrees of crime. Os this 4.000, only three were members of u Sunday school at the time of the commission of their crimes. If wo could keep the youth of America in the Sunday school during the period of character formation, wo could close the criminal courts and the jails. There would be no “raw material t<i work on." This plea well emphasizes one of the major tasks of the Church and a major task of our civilization as well. o Sermonograms 1 I Self-seeking is always a disappoint ing adventure. Self is the biggest enemy most men have to deal with. Sunday is not n day for holiday pleasures but for holy privileges. i The cloud “no bigger than a man’s hand ’ satisfied Elijah that bis prayer was answered. With too many of us tho answer must loom large before it is recognized as such. I The home to which we look forward is a city that “Heth foursquare" withan equal chance for all on every I side. The lives of all who would en- ’ ter into it must be fashioned in the same manner. We complain that life is hard, yet the truly hard days- days of grief and pain and misfortune- are not in the majority. The peaceful, unevent 1 ful. quiet days and hours make up 1 the most of existence, though we forget to count them or to be'thankful for them. “The-least ■ said- soonest—mended" ’ maximum is not always true. There is a possibility of saying entirely too little of love and praise to some dear worker at our side, and then find it impossible through long years of regret to mend the results of our selfish silence. And you will remember that love is not getting, but giving; not a wild drcam of pbßasure and a madness of desire; oh no, love is not that; it is goodness and honor and peace and pure living-- yes love is that; and 1 it is the. best thing in tho world, and the thing that lives longest.— Van Dyke. I The world is too sweet and fair to darken it with clouds of anger ' This life is too short and precious to waste it in bearing that heaviest of al! burdens, a grudge. Forgive and forget if you can; but forgive anyway: ami pray 10-artuy amt kinuiy ;«■' men, for thus only shall we bo the r children of our Father who maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.—Van Dyke. Character is not measured by words and deeds alone. It would be comparatively easy to gain a strong and clear character if that were only a question of the control we could exercise over what we say and do. Every man ought to know that his attainments in character are measured by what he is when he is .Hone with his thoughts. To what, does his mind turn when not bent upon daily work? Does he cherish thoughts that would ruin him if expressed? Does he have a subtle enjoyment, thoughts that pleasure, in seeking or hearing what he would not wish to disclose to his most respected friends? Character is as deep as the man himse'f. and unchallenged by the opinions of others.- Charles G. Trumbull. o j THE QUESTION BOX | Church And Sunday School Forum (Send problems in question form to Church Editor: answers wifi appear in later isue.) 1. How build up a big Men's Bible .

What method do you advise for teaching review lessons? Tho method necessarily varies according Io tho lessons to be reviewed On gnu ral principles each review : tiould be Independently planned and worked out irrespective of any set forms. 'l’fiiis freshness, variety and interest are most likely to be secured In planning the review aim to find the central theme which underlies tho lessons reviewed. Then associate

with that central theme the main persons, places, facts and teachings. If material to be reviewed Is di vided among the various members each one asked to present the sub stance of certain lessons— it wif give variety to the work. If the teacher will carefully plan such a review and tactfully direct it. it will make an interesting symposium which wi.l fully and interestingly cover the material included in the lessons of the quarter. ■ — Weekly Story of Early Education In Homes EDSEL FORD'S DEVOTION TO DUTY •We who know the c.ircumstaces believe that you arc needed here,’ said Rev. Marquis to Edsel Ford dur ing the World War, "hut the public is ignorant of the circumstances re quiring your presence here and you are subject to unjust criticism. I be lieve if all the facts were put before the authorities at Washington you would be given an appointment in connection with military service in this ' district that would permit your keep ing in close (ouch with the affairs here." Edsel made quick reply, "1 refuse absolutely to let any one take such iction in my behalf. I honestly be lieve that I can render my best and most valuable service here. But if uot here in connection with this bus mess—then jn France.” “I want ho stay-at-home appointment. 1 wild accept none. I do not want to don a uniform with the assurance that I will be expected to do nothing but sit in a swivel chair.” “There is one job in this war I do not want and 1 will not take, and i hat is the job of tne rich man’s son. If the authorities in whoso hands mj . ... .. ..- , taken In my belief that 1 can render my best service here, then I would prefer the trenches to a swivel chair.’ o Questions For Discussion On The Sunday School Lesson Life in the Early ChurchActs 4:32-5-5 —for Sunday April 19th. 1— What is the value of persecution? 2— Does the awfulnes of this retri bution seem out of proportion to thi sin? Why? ’ 3 —How can we embody the spirit of these communistic Christians in our individual lives and in our social order? 4—Why is falsehood such a grave sin? How can we root it out of our hearts and lives? Snowden says: Ananias pretended to be something he was not; he wanted popularity, but he was not willing to pay the price; he was a church members but he was a liar. Not yet dead are all the men that are willing and even scheme to have their charity rated at a higher figure than B really is. The man who pretends to be paying his share of the expenses of the church and doesn't pretends to be paying alll his taxes when he is concealing part of his property and income, is just as bad a man as Ananias. He may be a church member but he is a liar. ._o LESSON PRAYER Dear Father, help us to see how utterly abhorrent is lying to thy ’ whole nature and character. So many sins, traced to their root, are forms , t

<>f falsify. Help us to lei) the truth every one with another. Cleanse m, from every form of sin in Jesus name.

To Make City Manager Fight Indianapolis, April 15. — (United Press.) —An appeal for funds to carry on the city manager fight ami an explanation of the postponement, of the tiling of the city manager petition was contained in a letter today sent to members of the citizens committee of l.iutt). The letter was signed by Morris E. Floyd, executive (secretary of the drive. “No good general ever won a battle by attacking a well-organized army with unarmed and untrained," the letter pointed out. “There have heen no mistakes in strategy so far, and the decision to hold our petition until We have our forces organized was necessary for ultimate victory." ■ The letter declared the next step was to secure funds and organize other committees to carry one the fight. There should he a committee in every block of the city, the letter said. o Want Von Hindenburg To Renounce Candidacy London. April 15. — Strenuous efforts are being made behind tho rcenes in Germany to persuade form•r Field Marshal Von Hindenburg to renounce his candidacy for the German presidency, the Daily Telegraph learned today. ‘‘Patriotic grounds of expediency to dispel the distrust which the mere mention of Hindenburg’s candidacy aroused in allied nations," are being irged upon the German World war hero, the newspaper says.

ECZEMA You will be compelled to admit that the results of S.S.S. are really amazing! MANY people imagine that eczema or tetter needs only some external application on the skin in order to get relief. This is because the attention of the sufferer is so violently directed to the intense burning and itching which accompanies this disease. Try as they may—permanent relief will never be theirs until the disease laden blood is thoroughly cleansed. We know there is one thing that stops eczema and that is more red-blood-cells! S.S.S. builds them by the million! You can increase your red-blood-cells to the point where it is practically impossible for eczema to exist. We know that as blood-cells increase in number, blood impurities vanish! W r e also know that night follows day. Both are facts! But have you, eczema sufferers, ever actually taken advantage of thiswonderful fact? Thousands just like you have never thought about it. Skin eruptions, eczema, with all its fiery, skin digging torture, and its soultearing, unreachable itching, pimples, blackheads and boils, they all pack up and go, when the tide of blood-cells begins to roll in! Blood-cells are the fighting giants of Nature! S.S.S. builds them by the million! It has been doing it since 1826. S.S.S. is one of the greatest bloodcell builders, blood-cleansers and body strengtheners known to us mortals! When you put these facts together,—then to continue to have ec- • zema and skin eruptions looks more like a sin than a disease. S.S.S. contains only vegetable medicinal ingredients. Because S.S.S. does build red-blood-cells, it routs eczema, clears the skin, builds firm flesh, fills out hollow cheeks, and gives you that more up and going appearance. & S. S.

In order that tho general public may know more aliout Odd Fellowship. Its origin, aims and achievements, the following sketch, penned by Dr. Jacob Goldman. South Bend, Indiana. Historian of the Indiana Grand Lodge, is given: Whence Came Odd Fellowship? "It came from above, like tho Sun’s welcome lighf. Which warms and cheers us. and fills with delight: It came like all blessings- life and love. From the hand of an affectionate Father from above, It came like a Messenger from Heaven’s door To bind the high, the low. the rich, tho poor. The aged Sage and the gladsome Youth, In bonds of Friendship, Lov<> and Truth." Whence came Odd Fellowship? Historically, the Origin of Odd Fellowship is unknown. The first docui . men! of Odd Fellowship has been found in the city of Ixmdon, England, of Tho Royal Aristarchus Lodge No. 9, I. O. O. F. The document is composed of tho Minutes and Records of that lodge held on March 18. 1748. From the Minutes of that lodge, it , is indicated that the membership of the Order in the 18th Century was composed of a very refined element, of English citizenship. There were many Independent lodges in existence in England at that time. In 1813, the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fel- ' sows was organized at Manchester.
