| WHY (JO TO CHURCH? Within every man there is found the urge of a noble impulse found iu | thn demand for justice, mercy, kindness, goodness and love Just as there is found a physical urge of appetite In hunger. As the pnystcat urge of appetite Is the pathway to food so the moral urge of a noble Impulse Is the pathway to God. the God of Justice, mercy, kindness, goodness, love. The soul ortes out after the living God. The Sabbath day has been set apart as a time when every individual m.iy meet God. The church has been organized as the place where every individual may meet (iod. Every church believes In God's justice, mercy, kindness, goodness and love and therefore makes possible tlie weded provision for the satisfaction of the moral lure of a noble impulse. It is a tact that if the moral impulses ure not cultivated and tile moral utge not satisfied these line Impulses and urges will die.

Weekly Story Os Early Education In The Homes Over-reaching. “Gan you increase my loan?” asked a young married man who was persuaded by an automobile agency to exchange his second-hand Ford for a new machine on which ho .was granted a small loan, the same to be paid in small weekly installments. "I think that would be wrong,” said the manager of the loan association. “You have not paid regularly on the loan you now have.” “I know It, but we had to get some furniture and there were other bills

• that had to tie taken care of, said i the young man. i ‘Very well, you will need more furniture and there will be other bills, i and you cannot afford a bigger loan.” I “If you do not increase tny loan, ; 1 will get d elsewhere." • "Very well, I am only saying whai ought to be said I really want to say mote yon do not need y new machine; in fact, it were better for the present If you did not even have a second hand machine for you cannot afford that.” “Isn't it too bad?” said the manager to the auditor who heard the conservation. That man lias a wife tnd two children and io many tilings ire needed to nick o home In these days of expensive living. Ho many are half jCr.agy for an uutomoblle ,nm! inviting ruin—because of it—preferring the luxury it rnay afford to the joy of a happy home." THE QUESTION BOX , J. —What do you consider the lu st plan for the selection of teachers? The teachers ought to be selected by a special committee composed of tlie pastor, the superintendent, the director of religious education (if the school has such an officer), and tin superintendent of the department to which the teacher is to he assigned, in case this pin n docs, violence to the general plan of the c/him-h, then the j church plan must lie followed. 2. —Shull the non-resident member be continued on our rolls? if so, what shall we mean to him or he mean to , us? f The non-resident member should lie advised to remove his membership, with him to his new and en- . couraged to identify himself with the j people of God in his new location. If not possible to give him this advice, the pastor of the new church should f lie advised as to the time of the mem- , tier's removal and his, present location. with the hope that he will he able to get him to identify himself with the church in the new location. Dropping a member's name from the roll should be the last thing done, it is with great effort and time and sacrifice of money that we win a man , for the church and the Kingdom, and t wa should spend all the time, money and effort necessary lu save him to the Kingdom. Not until all'efforts 1 possible have been made should we , drop a name from the roil of the j church. • • I Religious News (lathered All Around The World Tlie time set for the celebration of National Misions week this year is November 22-29.
