Frank might have told the boys whose lunch boxes were disturbed or he might have reported the matter to the school authorities but Io have done either would have made Charles his enemy, and possibly have made him a worse boy in the end. Frank remembered that in all boys there is both good and'bad and what he must do is to help the good in Charles and lead him to make a fight against the wrong in him. “Do you want a good fight?” asked Frank "Yes, come on," was the quick reply. "O no. not with me. but with Charles inside of you—that fellow you do not want reported because lie is not your representative, ft is your fight.” Then Frank told of some of his own fighting, the effort to overcome wrong in himself, and that whatever , virtue lie may have meant a victory in a fight that possibly no one else knew. "Come on now, Charles, fight! fight! fight! I will stand by you till you have the victory and no one will ever know of our conversation and you will lie happy to have the repre sentative Charles seen anywhere—even to have him taken by surprise." o—— - - Religious News Gathered All Around The World There are mofe than one thoij sand Jews connected with the Pres hyterian church in America. + ♦ ♦ The Pension Board of the ftnited Lutheran Church is planning to raise a three-million-dollar endowment fund. + + ♦ The quadrienniai International Sun day School Convention now known as the quadrienniai convention of the International Council of Religious Education, will be held in Birmingham, Ala., April, 1926. * ♦ + The International Council of Religious Education will conduct three summer schools for Christian leadership training—-at Geneva Glen, Colorado, July 13-25; Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, July 27—August 8;; Lage Winnepesaukee, N.

The lo w attendance at religious services is due largely to the failure in using the right appeal and the right approach. Instead of simplj' inviting the public to attend, there diould be planned such a needed proI gram that would call for help. Many will attend when they think they can be of some use. When fire breaks out n a dwelling no invitation Io attend 1 meeting is extended, but the fire bell is the call for help and there is a rush of men because they are needed in a worthwhile task. ! 2. What can ministers do to keep up to date? “In the first place I would hope that they would discuss the present lay moral problems-law enforcement. ! ’oleration of other races and religions, , the national sin we call war, local, . moral and legislative issues. And then I would hope they would take a new , altitude on social and recreational luestions.” — A rural business man. 3. How shall we start a Vacation I Church School? (1) Send to your denominational I publishing house for worthwhile literature. (2) Secure approval of the local church after the leaders have had preliminary educational conferences II ii (lie matter. (3) Organize a Vacation Church School committee with power to carry through the program. This committee will decide the time and place of the school: arrange curriculum: secure necessary teachers and a superinten-dent-and provide for this special training; arrange a financial plan: secure adequate publicity; conserve results by seeing to it that character ami conduct that functions in the home and community are produceiL Your Vacation School teachers shoulW be trained in departments of religious education in colleges, by self-educa-tion, by practice teaching, by special school or institutes, and by a combination of one or more of the above methods. LESSON PRAYER Dear Lord Jesus, give us a faith that wil enable us to follow thee without question. Give us a courage that will serve thees through the disappointments and persecutions which we will encounter as we go through life. May some of the loyalty, faith fulness, and forgiveness which Steph en displayed so grip our hearts that we may get a vision of thy will con■erning us. In thy name we pray. Amen. o BOOK REVIEW Why I Am A Spiritual Vagabond,” by Thpmas L. Masson, The Century Cd, 353 Fourth avenue. New York City, $2.00, is a call to spiritual vagabonds all over the world.
