I WHY GOTO CHURCH? The Christian Church is the most salutary influence and the most valuable institution In America. Any man who loves his country ought to support the Church by his presence. This Is n valid reason for church attendance, though a very subordinate one. The far deeper consideration is that men ought to go to church for the public and social worship of God, and for the corporate experience which comes to those who meet together to proclaim their faith in Christ. If men lack this faith, they ought to go to church in order to find it. If they say they have no taste for the service of worship in the church; then If the fault is in that service and worship, men ought to change it; or If it is in their own hearts, they ought to change themselves. If it is said that the sermons are tiresome, men will find that they are not more so than the other addresses to which they listen or their own conversation, or most of the reading in which they indulge. All preaching could he lifted to a higher plane if all men .supported the church and put their strength into it. Even as it is. however, the Church is good, the best and most helpful thing we have, and every American home ought to pour its best life into th* church and draw its best life out of it.

Religious News Gathered All Around The World The number ot Protestant Christians in Latin America is now carefully estimated at 122.000. Dr. Clarence C. Little who lately r< signed the presidency of the University of Maine has been chosen president of the University of Michigan. The annual summer schol of Sacred Music at Winona Lake, Indiana, under tl.e personal direction of Homer A. B.odeheaver. will be in session Aug 10-30. AU sacred music are booked for August 26 ami 27. Shortly after a New York pastoi began to co-operate with the Presbyterian Board of National Missions t< reach the Jewish neighbors in his com'll.unity, a young man, a Jew. called at the pastor's study and after a b.ief interview accepted Jesus as his Savior and Messiah. The thirty-first meeting of the Gen era! Conference of the Unitarian church will be held in Cleveland October 13. 14, 15. The meeting will mark the close of the separate existence of the General Conefernce ami its merging with the reorganized American Unitarian Association. The program is being prepared by a joint committee of the Conference and Association. Five of the churches included in Foulass Station, West Africa, needed new roofs. To repair them would have cost S2OO in a neighborhood where $5.00 a month is a good income. The Christians of these churches decided to prove their devotion by means of their actions, and by volunteer unpaid labor repaired the roofs saving what would have been an income of forty men for a month.

THE QUESTION BOX I—Would you give us a plan for the organization of a real Home Department. Mr. Charles D. Meigs has issued a little ' Blue Book” on the Home Department, in which he presents a systematic way to start it going. In it he takes as his motto —"Look ahead - go ahead. Take one step at a time." This is hie plan: First—Want it. This is three fourths of the battle. Second —Understand it. Don't, like a grasshopper, jump before you know where you are going. Understand your work before you undertake it. Undertake the work when you understand it. Third—Call a meeting and explain the work to all. Fourth —Appoint a committee with the Home Department superintendent as chairman to prepare a full list of the families in the church showing street and number. Divide the territory to be canvassed into needed districts —each containing ten or more

families located as near together as possible. Then select a visitor for each district. He careful. No superintendent can make a success of tlie work it the visitors make a failure of it. Fifth—A list of church officers. Do not omit one, not even the pastor or the Janitor, if any in the church who ought to be loyal ,to the Sunday School it Is the church officers and their wives. Sixth —Order stock and supplies— Seventh-—A sermon on "home religion”—tlie need and Importance of regular Bible study In the home. Eight—Set the day on which the first general canvass, by the visitors shall be made. (Ifth.st same day you plan an "experience meeting" with the workers —there will be something refreshing in It.) Nine—You have your Home Department started. There is only one thing that will kep it alive—that is, Attention. There is one tiling that will kill it quick —Neglect. o QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION Temperance Lesson —Gal. 5:1324 —fur Sunday, Aug. 16th. 1. —Wli.it is the meaning of Intemperance? Y 2. What <t<i we mean by self-con-trol ? 3. — How can we cultivate the spirit of mutual love, and how can we introduce it into our industrial and social problems? Clericus Says—The Epistle to the Galatians puts the principles of true temperance upon the highest level. Paul would nok have us live our lives according to law but according to love, and this love includes the love vhich we manifest to God and to our lellowmen. Lesson Prayer. Savior, make us, like thee, synipahetic to all the needy. May our ympatiiy be shown in deeds as well is words. Amen. Book Review. Suburbs of Christianity, by Ralph W. Sockman.

he learns to weigh values If be knows that certain consequences inevitably follow a present pleasure, he will learn one of the great lessons of morality — that of foreseeing consequences. The little girl called to do a definite task begs for more time to play, and the mother says, "You know this must be done before supper. We are going for a ride with Papa after supper. 1 think there is just time for you to finish your work before supper, and then we can all go together." The child played till supper time and when the car was driven to the door tor the ride the mother said. "Daughter, you cannot go for the ride as your task is not done. 1 am very o;ry and I will have to stay at home too and help you finish the work." • While thus engaged the mother taught the child that she was sharing with her in the punishment that followed her wrong choice —that she not only suffered herself but made her best friend suffer. Another similar program will see the daughter choose thoughtfully the course which, vfill, result in happiness to herself and her mother. o
