Som titno was dvott'd also to the disillusion of rf- -ration for tho ymini;, Miss Vova Harrison of t)r- Kak-y i-( hool pivinp an interc-Hting talk. Th" ierartment has s t asidf at Ua.st one afternoon a season for tho consideration . of tho school ilu a m'-ans of moral education for the young. Import-ant issues were dwelt upon by Mrs. y. Fisher in her talk on the moral and religious training in the public school. She erm ha.sized particularly the value of cultural training in teachers and declared that culture was as necessary as knowledge itself if the child was to grow and expand through tho Instruction brought to bear upon the embryonic mind. "Culture," said Mrs. Fisher, "is the very fountain of the religious training." She made It cbar, however, that it is idle to expect more of the child than it is able to accomplish, or to look for too rapid development. It is necessary to test the limit of its possibilities before presenting the knowledge with which to equip the young mind. Home- First or All. For a life of happiness ami good it I; imperative that the young be trained up to a right understanding of th' social institutions, the home tlrst of r.ll, the church, the school, the state and finally the nation. Unb ss the school assist in the moral training of the young it is almost impossible for tho home to fully equip them since th efforts of the one are counteracted by the neglect of the other. Mrs. Fisher commend. 1 the V. M. A. in her talk, saying that is hardly any one other institution which has so deeply impressed the life of our oung men and boys, lifting it to a higher state with its moral teachings and encouragements. It was shown by the speaker that educational authorities are giving greater thought to the matter of the Hible in the school. Colleges and universities are Introducing systems of ieliglous training in order to cope with the sometimes alarming extent of immorality as well as religious indifference among young men and boys of college a ice. To place the Bible in the hands of Christian teachers and cause it to bo read and studied in the school, would according to many of the ladies present, be a means of rounding out and developing the moral natures of the young, as well a-s a protection to them against the various evil iniluences they are certain to encounter. Hold it Iratlcal. The old argument against the practice that it is not practical or even possible because of sectarian difference waa considered, ami was deemed no longer sulllcient to warrant the abandonment of the idea. That a Christian teacher, whether she bo of one sect or another could find enough good in the Pihle to teach without infringing on the beliefs of any sect, was assured. Systems of education fostering the teaching of the I'.iblc were discussed, particularly the system now in practice in Gary. At certain of the schools the scholars are either provided with a Iiibl Instructor or permitted to devcte a least one hour each week durir r ochool hours to the study of the

;ible with any pastor or instructor preferred and at the end of a stipulated period there is an examination by Iliblo experts who rate the scholars according to their answers, exactly in the manner of the regular school examinations. That Bible InFtruction in the school !r the surest means of solving the problem of moral and spiritual education of the youag was unanimously agreed upon by those present. Mrs. C L. Warner and Mrs. W, M. Weld also gave brief discussions upon the subject and several others spoke favorably of the system. Miss Harrison continued the idea of moral training in the school with her talk on proper amusements for the oung. She quoted the statements of Seey North of New York city who investigated the situation here that there are 17.000 children in South Fend between the aes of C and 20 ytars which is ample proof that the problem of recreation for such a

number must be no small one. The matter which lias been long neglected is that of the rirht use of leisure time ;mong the youth of South I'end as well as the children. That they will t ml unwholesome and immoral recreations unless properly guided i,v the necessary authorities was proven and ?he ease of directing their misplaced nergies illustrated forcibly by Mis 1 la rrison. Could Solw Frohlims To open the school huildinir evenings and turn them into social club quarters where the oiir.g may congregate fr grumes such as basket and vt lley ball, for dancing partus properly chaperoned, for classes in literature and for dramatic clubs would solve what is now a seriou problem of the young and for the youn. The oiing men now out of recular employment who are at los to know 1 ow to pass the hours woubi find an outlet to their nergies without falling into the mi.'hief they so frequent1 do. According to many authorities there would be fewer caes of delin-c-.a-nts were the citj.' to provide clean ai d wholesome recreation to that they could occupy their time naturally. The last matter considered waj tfcit cf dres. reform and Mrs. W. M. Weld gave an extremely Interesting- and wholly comprehensive presentation of the matter. She quoted Mrs. Felix McWhirter, former president of the 5tate federation in many of hr statemtnts. .Mrs. McWhirter has done much to bring about a smer attitude among women regarding dress and more particularly, among school irls. "While there have been many lmM overm-nts." said Mrs. Weld, "there is still room for betterment In dress" That the mother is the one to decide the mode of her daughter's dress Mrs. Weld declared, and she asserted that ery often the irirl who ii.sists on extremes in style has- been moved to do so by the example set by her mother or hy her school tea her. A uniform drss for K'rls was discussed and it was believed that thu

Ixson: Jesus and Jnla. .Matt. 2f:li-2r,. i7-ro, 27::t-lo. (iolden Text: VH' unto that man through whom the Son of man N Ik traMti! .Matt. lr:2I. .Il'DAS AM HIS DCSTINV. 1. .Money is ;xl tlilef rival, ami man's chief spiritual enemj. Jesus once said upon a solemn occasion, Ve cannot serve Cod and mammon." He spake of mammon as thomrh it were an evil king. He puts mammon over against Cod. and indicates thereby that the love of money is the chief rival which Cod has for the affections of mankind. Judas had a great number of admirable chancteristlcs, or Jesus would never have 'chosen him to be one of the 12 apostles, and if he had beeu chosen, he would not have been made the treasurer of his company, if he had not been a man of outstanding ability. Doubtless Judas was a splendid financier, and like maiy another man, he proved himself to be weakest at his strongest point, for he loved money. Such was the intensity of his love for money that he appears to have stolen the funds

of Christ's little company, and by and by. the love of money became such an overpowering passion that he i.etr;;ed his Lord and Master, for .o pieces of silver. Alas! th there have been many Judases. for who does not know promirunt men who have betrayed their master, and brought disgrace upon tlumselvcs and their families through the domination of money. The making, and the spending of money, are two of the chiei'est tests of the genuineness of a mail's character. If he can resist the subtle temptation of hinsr mastered by money, h1 can generally resist every other temptation by which men axe assailed. 1!. A Ix'trnjer of Je-u is an enemy of liU fellow . A professed Christian. who is unfaithful to his high profession, and who betrays his Iord. and discounts the value bf a Christian piofession. either through the love of money, or any other temptation, is a great grief to those 0f his fellow disciples who have been loyal to their piofession. When Jesus told the little company that one of them should betray him, the story says, "And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to s'av unto him, Lord is it I?" It is always so, that "one sinner destroys much good." and the unfaithfulness of one man brings sorrow to his church, to his family, and very often to the entire community. No man stands or falls to himself. We belong to vaiious family, s :.cial and church circles, and when we do anything wrong, we not not only recehe mortal hurt ourselves, but those that are attached to us suffer for our sins. It is a matter of common knowledge that it k? the unfaithfulness of Christians. which is the chief barrier to the extension of the kintrdom of Cod. Sinners vwhen thev

are urged to lve their hearts to Cod, and join the Christian church very often tell, with all too much truth, of the unfaithfulness of some church member. .hulas made hi name Infamous for all time. Such was the influence of ihe dastardly crime of Judas, in betraying his Lord, that his name ha.s been made a synonym of all that is evil. The name Judas -lands for all that is mean and despicable, and so far as I know, no other persons has eer been named after him. What a pity it is. that a man with such acknowledged ability, and with such possibilities of doing great good should fall before mammon, and choose to worship him rather than the true Cod. Men today are liable to the same temptation that Judas h;id. Money has so much power, and is absolutely essential to our earthly existence, that the average man thinks more about it than he does about God Almighty himself. Money, so to speak, is bone of our bone, and ilesh of our llesh; most of us hays to make it with the sweat of our brow, or the sweat of our brain, and through our effort to make it we are apt to give it an undue value, and through the intlr.cr.ee of money we are tempted to put it ahead of Cod. I. Judas pluugcil liN soul into the eternal darknevs. The fate of Judas, should be a strong warning to every man: mammon is so powerful that we are very apt to fall down before it and worship, but every time this is done, we are guilty of idolatry, and insult the Lord Cod Almighty, and it is absolutely certain unless we repent of this great sin. that our souls will go out into darkness, as is the case of Judas. No ritrht thinking

j man but would fain hope, that in

s'lino way. Judas himself repented be

fore hi soul left this world and found himself in the presence of Cod: but such a hope would he without foundation, and based upon folly. It the fate of Judas be a warring to us. against putting our trust in money, rather than in the living Cod: and a warning against obtainirg money in any improper way, and a warning agamst using its admitted power for evil purposes. We. whatever our dispositions may he, may by the grace of God. see the rock upon which Judas made shipwreck and avoid it. We may fully realize the subtle temptations of money, and while we kppreclate its need, may leirn to use it for our own proper service and to help our fellow men. It is n sublime art to learn to make and spend money s . that It shall be an aid to our spiritual live?, and not a hurt. PORTUGAL rlQTFAILS More? Than a Hundred Arrests Have Been Marie.

That includes everything else the national standing of the name Studebaker inspires confidence in Studebaker products. "Buy it because it is a Studebaker" is reason enough for the son whose father before him has proven the reliability of Studebaker Products and Studebaker Service. Hence when Studebaker offers a car like The Studebaker SIX it is little wonder that the public accepts it and recognizes in it the market's greatest value. It is little wonder that the sales of Studebaker sixes are breaking all records for six cylinder cars. It is little wonder that September was the biggest month in the whole Studebaker history $4,200,000 worth of Studebaker cars sold in that single month. It is little wonder that the demand continues to push to the utmost limit even Studebaker production.

-history makers. Because the Studebaker SIX is made part by part by the one gTeat manufacturer of sixes no parts makers' profits to pay it offers you great value at a surprisingly low price. Think of the buying power of such a Company, think of the quality of material it can buy and at maximum quantity discounts Think of the engineering, manufacturing and selling resources of such a Company, is there another Company that can really compete with Studebaker in the production of cars in the Studebaker SIX class think, is there a single one? Motor car buyers are quick to recognize genuine value when they see it this is the answer to the wonderful Studebaker sales record in September.

The Quakers were temperate in word, deed and action. They had their Blue Laws but they never tried to inflict them upon their neighbors. Nor did they call their fellow citizens names because they held different opinions. William Penn was the first great brewer of lager beer in Pennsylvania. He built a brewery at Pcnnsburg in 1663. The honest Quakers advocated the use of lager beer as a beverage. You may well profit by their example by drinking

Studebaker six-cylinder cars are history makersNovember 17, 1912, Studebaker first announced this wonderful automobile bargain: a six-cylindered car for only $1,550! It was more wonderful in 1912 than now, because at that time no other manufacture" had found it possible to offer a six cylinder car at so low a price. Since then, Studebaker has continued to be a history maker And this year with the price at $1385 Can vou find another Six anywhere that approaches it in actual dollar for dollar value ? Is there another six that measures up to Studebaker quality standards at anywhere near the price?
