THE FIERY CROSS PACE Fiy; Th stone of America: Patriotism in PeacC e 4 & ' And Thou Shalt Teach Diligently Unto Thy Children Protestant Churches Co-operate; Make Big Gains for Sunday Schools. pO-OPERATlON of Protestant churches of Oak Park, 111., an important suburb of Chicago, is an accomplished fact which example might well be emulated by other Protestant churches throughout the land. J. B. McKendry, director for the Community Board of Religious Education of this community says that as a result of the united efforts of 23 Protestant churches the number of Sun day School pupils has increased in three years from 400 to 2,000. Seven full-time teachers, with public school teaching experience's well as special religious training, are employed by the Board. The public schools excuse pupils two periods a week for religious education classes. Although the schools give no credit for the work, both high school and elementary school pupils in general take a deep interest in the class work. Children enrolled represent 24 religious denominations, but a common basis is found in the Bible, which is used as a textbook. Explaining the course of study worked out in Oak Park, Mr. McKendry said: "We approach, the work in a practical school-like way. We have regular courses in Bible reading from the fourth grade up which have been bringing excellent results and appear to be bringing mothers and fathers into the study as well as the children. Each child is given an assignment sheet with a statement of an everyday problem, such as 'How can I be happy?' 'How can I be a good citizen?' 'Why should I obey?' The answers are to be found in brief Bible references given, on the same page. "We find that the children sometimes enlist the help of the entire family in their search for answers tions. One mother told me that her children Q Bible references to the dinner table and tha family discussed them. This is the best resf education can have, to bring religion into the hi At the start many children came to us cam they could not find the family Bible it was in attic or in a trunk in the basement. Others sa aid not have the right kind. Since the readm, however, most children have their own texts an in the classrooms has a Bible."

WESTMINISTER ABBEY AND NOTRE DAME JX TDK ATLANTA CONSTITCTION of December 10, a. feature writer, in commenting upon the Cathedral of St." John the Divine that is in coureg of construction in New York, questions whether it will follow the policy of Westminster Abbey in England, or the Cathedral of Notre Dame in France. The inference is. that Wesminster Abbey- is a church which-txists solely for the aristocrat, and that 'Notre Dame is the refupe of the poor and the folorn. "Iniacrine. thounh. a 1-ondon hobby bavins his funeral service read in Westminster Ahbev. The very idea is preposterous." exclaims this writer, but "A street cleaner may be buried from Notre Dame even aa Saint T-oufs started on his last tour through the streets from that magnificent church." And apain, "The humblest man buried there (Westminster) is perhaps the 'Unknown Soldier,' and he may be a peer of the realm for all we know." The chamnion of democracy, as expressed by Roman Catholicism, fails to add that the 'Unknown Soldier' may be a Dondon hobby for all that we know. One fact is sure, if the I,niilon bobby had so developed the Godgiven powers within himself as to rise above his lowly position, and render

iiisuiiinsiien service to nis country in any line, he would have been buried there just as surely as any scion of the royal line. The "Unknown Soldier" is buried there because hp Raje his life for his country, and "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life " Westminster Abbey is England's Hall of Fame. It is her tribute to the men she dellsrhts to honor, not because of the accident of birth, but because of the royalty of mind that entitles them to be laid side by side with the rulers of Knpland. who. whether royal in themselves or not, are clothed with the robes of royalty by the Knplish people. It is the office thftt is honored when royalty is buried there, and the achievement when it is another. "Rare Den Johnson" is memorialized there, and he started

his career as a brick-layer: nobby Burns is immotralized there, and he was the son of a poor crardener: Alfred Tennyson was the son of a poor rector, and lies side by side with Robert Rrowninsr. Our own Donprfellow is honored there and that prcat Jew. Disraeli, twice prime minister of UncJand. . If the street-cleaner of Paris were a -lew. or 'i Protestant, would he be siven a brave funeral from the ltliedrul of Notre Dame, or allowed to lie in a Catholic cemetery? But if the street cleaner had accomplished something distinguished in the way of contribution to the world of mankind, Westminster Abbey would recognize that service. This fact represents the fundamental difference between the democracy of Protestantism as opposed to the democracy of Roman Catholicism. Protestantism encourases a man to think for himself; to develop his own spiritual powers. Our spiritual powers yrow by exercise just as our bodily powers. .It is fatal to growth to allow some one else to do our thinking for us as it would be if we took no bodily exercise. It is better to think wrons? than not to think at all. for the honest seeker after lipht will ventually find it. We grow by our thought and the responsibilities we assume. The only true charity which is love is that which helps a man to help himself.

Prentice, Wis., Jan. 19. A unique method was adopted in starting the AVomen of the Klan in town near here. Several of the women had been objecting to being left alone, and were rather curious about where their husbands were going and what they were doing, and to satisfy their curiosity, the husbands staged a party for them.

During the party a national speaker was introduced, and after he had delivered his message, most of the women made aplication for membership

in the Women of the Klan. The Women of the Klan organization is making great progress here.

and it will be onlv a matter of a few, months, some of the more enthusiastic members declare, until they will have as many members as the men's organization. Different speakers have appeared from time to time to explain the ide;Us and principles of the fast growing American organization, and in a short time degree teams will be started and a more permanent organization formed in a short time.
