Sunday School Meeting. The executive committee of the Washington Township Suuday School Association met in Petersburg on Saturday afternoon. The township and county associations, also the mit\-' istry of the city were represented) The business before the meeting was the installation of the officers of the township association, the filling of some vacancies caused by inability to serve, and the discussion of methods of work for the ensuing year. The installation services were conducted by Rev. Charles P. Darling and * Rev. J. W. Elder. In the course of the discussion the following thoughts; were expressed along the line of hindrances to success.. First, these is apparently a much greater degree of apathy, of seeming indifference in religious matters, at the present time, than has formerly been the case, and the same appears also to be on the increase. Second, as to the cause for this there are two, the first affecting the young and through them the Sunday School; the second affecting the mass^ of the people and through them the churchl The cause affecting the young is the exceeding and ever widening circulation of a certain class of literature. This literature may perhaps be most fitly characterized as highly exciting, sensational to a degree, superficial to a falsity, wholly unreal, artd wholly .untrue save the base and the vicious. Its worst feature is that it calls evil good, and good evil. It can be purchased for almost nothing, a single volume will go the rounds of an entire school. Of how little use are the ideals of the home, though ever so carefully and sweetly taught against fears of this kind of readihg. The mind of the boy becomes permeated, saturated with a portrayal and coreeptiou of life wholly at variance

\Vith pure and whole manhood. His ideals are inlinitely lowered if not completely changed. Jle has formed ' new tastes, Acquired new desires and ! ambitions, tastes'aind desires such as! he never learned at his mother's knee, father's fireside, his studies at I his rscnool, college or university, the j church or the Sunday school. The ! second cause, the one affecting j the people at large, is of a literary nature also, but the class of litera- | ture is wholly distinct from the one | preceding. Perhaps it may be best indicated by the one word, lngerI sollism. Ingersoll did much that was ! good, much that was bad. A man | may do a good work, and do it in a j bad way. He may do it in such a way I that the evil intluence of his manner | of working may be as great as the ; good accomplished by his work, what- | ever may be said of the work Inger- : soli set in motion, his method of doing j it was bad It is bad enough and dangerous enough to destroy anything ! that is public property. But when the thing attacked touches the heart and the home, touches all that is most | sacred and treasured, the spirit at j least should be one of kindness and j sincerity, not one of bitterness and ! scorn. Luther attacked the prevailj ing interpretation of religion in the j days of the reformation: but his atj tack was in love, not hatred. His en- | deavor was to build better not to dej stroy. and he left human life sweeter ; than he found it, not a desolation and ‘ a waste. The man who followed Luther had no longer the traditions of Romanism, but he had something a ; great deal better. The man who follows Ingersoll may have some cobwebs rudely cl€#hed with a clumsy hand, crudely woF&ing in inexcusable and nauseating ignorance, but he will find himself stranded on a barren and and desolate wild, with the sweetness,

the hope and the trust fled from his life. And in just that condition, uncertainty and doubt, are many men and women in America today. All that is most sacred in the life of man has been rudely assailed by a vulgar hand, insult, ignominy have been ruthlessly heaped on what was esteemed sacred and the treasured heritage of centuries vilely trailed in the dust. And what wonder that many feel a numbness akin to that which crept over the citizens of the Imperial Queen of the Ancient World when her choicest treasures of art were shivered before the crashing battle-axes of the wild barbarians of the north. There is uncertainty, doubt and positive distrust as to the truth and validity of much and long current interpretation. The result is seen in paralysis of effort, leading to apathy of indifference. Nor will a change be brought about until faith is inspired in the interpretation given by the church of the spiritual, the devine and the immortal within the life of man. C. D. Darling. Great Luck of An Editor. “For two years all efforts to cure Eczema in the palms of my hands failed,” writes Editor A. N. Lester, of Syracuse, Kan., “then I was wholly cured by Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.” It’s the world’s best for eruptions, sores and all skin diseases.
