S— —— “AS OTHERS SEE US.” Oft the rough oyster shell Hides a pearl, so it’s well Not to judge by a person’s exterior; For a form void of grace, Or a real homely face, May have heart or have brain far superior.

BY CHARLES STELZLE. “The time has come when the church must emphasize more strongly the salvation of society. It must help to raise the level of - wing and thinking to so high a plane that it will not be necessary to hft men and women so far when they make the decision to adopt the Christian standard. “I'm not at all in favor of ‘Social Serv- ice;’ we already have too many sociables in our churches,” remarked a layman of national reputation at a recent confer- ence of churchmen. That's all that this otherwise sensible and far-sighted business man could see in one of the most significant movements of modern times—a movement which is challenging the attention of the best men and wom- en both inside and outside the church. Here is another illustration of what a leader in the church thinks of the rela- tion of the church to modern social movements: “During the past twenty- five years the church has grown three- fold,” he said. “But during the same period social unrest has, also, increased threefold. Therefore the church as a. means for keeping down social unrest has been absolutely noneffective,” he added, assuming that it is the business of the church to keep down social unrest. Rather is the opposite true. It is the business of the church to create social unrest. There are no labor troubles in darkest Africa; but if the missionaries .that we are sending there are faithful to their tasks we shall soon hear of strikes and lockouts in that benighted country. For these missionaries will find a conti- nent of people long satisfied with low physical, mental, and moral ideals. The missionaries will point out these low ideals, and then show them the possibili- ties of the Christian life; and as the na- tives catch something of a vision of what this life may mean to them there will come among them a healthy spirit of so- cial unrest which will not be satisfied until it breaks the bands which have bound them for many a century. THE CHURCH A TROUBLE-MAKER. The social uprising among the Japan- ese and Chinese is due in a very large measure to the teachings of Christian missionaries. Not that the missionaries deliberately planned to create a revolu- tion, they simply supplied the elements which inevitably produced a revolution. When the principles of Christianity which they advocated were applied to an intol- erable social situation then there could be simply one result—these bad condi- tions had to go. This has been the his- tory of the church in every generation. The church has been the greatest trouble-maker in history. Its founder knew full well that this would be the case. “I came not to bring peace, but a sword,” said the advocate of peace on earth and good will toward men. “These men are preaching a doctrine which is turning the world upside down,” said the accusers of the early disciples. They were right, and their doctrine will keep on turning the world upside down until this old world is turned right side up, and greed and selfishness have fallen away from it forever and ever. And then the Prince of Peace will have full sway. Mere sociability? Does that word stand for ice cream festivals and oystér suppers? Not much! Social service means blood and sweat and sacrifice and suffering. I question whether we have too many of the former, but I'm mighty sure we haven’t enough of the latter in the church today. : When we open our art galleries to the workingman, our libraries, our museums, our lecture courses, our schools, our churches, does anyone suppose that the working people return to their homes just as they came? If they did, what's the use of it all? But they don’t. They 80 back with a larger outlook on life. Their vision has been enlarged. They now have new ambitions. They are de- termined that their children shall have better education, and that their wives shall have better clothes and less drudg- ery, that the home shall be brighter and more cheerful. But this often means the necessity for more leisure and larger incomes. How shall these be had? By increased efficiency, to a very large de- gree, and workingmen with visions of better homes usually become better work- men. Itis the old theory of incentive, again. But the danger is that at this point they will fall into the hands of un- scrupulous agitators. BUILD UP THE PEOPLE. Having created this spirit of social un- rest, shall the church now step to one side—powerless or lazy, I do not know which—and permit the agitators to come in and usurp the place which rightfully belongs to the church, or will the church with courage finish the task which it so long ago began, unselfishly leading on ~~ the people in their fight for democracy, _in which they are sure to win? This is one of the greatest questions confronting the church today. \ The task here suggested must be en- gaged in with unquestioned sincerity. orking people are often suspicious of ~ the church because they believe that the only object the church has in working = ‘Amalekites—but the Clevelandites are .year by year. ‘food, to have it converted into nourish- for them is that its own organization | may be built up, that its own member- ship be increased. As a matter of fact, the church is simply a means to an end, and not an end in itself. We must talk less about building up the church and more about building up the people. When the church engages in social work of any sort in this spirit, the working people will have greater confidence in the church. - Social service should have an im- mediate application to the work of the local church. It should result in a day- by-day ministry which will bring cheer and gladness to troubled hearts. It may mean the organization of educational classes, and inspirational lectures and concerts. But in all this work the prin- ciple just suggested must be applied most rigidly, there must be no thought of merely “building up the church; ” it must not merely use these features as a bait, in order to win, or hook, folks who may nibble. Usually the working people see the hook and they decline to be caught, and really one can scarcely blame them for this. Jesus did not heal the sick that they might come to hear him preach. He healed them because he had compassion upon them and because they needed a calling. Social service work should be engaged in for its own sake. The people in city and town and open country need such ministry through the church. No other agency (with the possible exception of the public school, in some particulars) can render this service quite so well as the church. It has the equipment in buildings and in its organized forces, and it carries a certain established dignity and appeal. With a'very slight increase in the yearly budget the church may double or triple its work and influence. There are some very sincere people in the church who cannot understand why the church building should be used for any other purpose than that of preaching what is called the “simple gospel,” al- though they are quite willing that their minister should talk about the social life of the Israelites, the Jebusites, the Hittites and the Hivites. But when ne preaches about the social life of the Brooklynites, the Pittsburghites, the Chicagoites and the Clevelandites, drawing the same con- clusions from precisely the same premises as when he preaches about the ancients, they gently remind him that he might better confine his preaching to “Biblical themes.” Now it is much easier to get the facts regarding the Clevelandites, for example, than itis to get them with re- gard to the Amalekites, and the Cleve- landites need our preaching very much more, because the Amalekites have been a long time dead. They are all right, the here today, and they are very much alive. —The Woman's Home Companion. (Concluded next week) Dr. Dixon Confirmed. HARRISBURG, Pa.—Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, whose nomination as Commissioner of Health, was sent to the Senate on Mon- day by Governor Brumbaugh, was today confirmed by that body. This is Dr. Dixon’s fourth appointment to this responsible position and within a few days he will have completed ten years of service in this office which is of such vital importance to the welfare of the people of the Commonwealth. Governor Pennypacker appointed Dr. Dixon on June 6th, 1905, shortly after the passage of ithe Act of Assembly creating the State Department of Health. He was re-appointed March 1st, 1907, by Gov- ernor Edwin S. Stuart and on March 1st, 1911, by Governor John K. Tener. Under his able direction the Pennsyl- vania Department of health has achieved first place among the public health or- ganizations in this country and the work which has been accomplished has attract- ed attention at home and abroad. At the present time the Department has between three and four thousand em- ployees and its activities reach to every section of the State. In the campaign against tuberculosis, which ten years ago was the chief cause of death in Pennsylvania, one hundred and fifteen tuberculosis dispensaries have been established and three great State Sanatoria at Mont Alto, Cresson -and Hamburg have been constructed under the supervision of Dr. Dixon. In ten years tuberculosis has fallen from first to second place as a cause of death in this State and the rate is steadily declining Four thousand deaths and forty thous- and illnesses from typhoid fever was the annual toll exacted from Pennsylvania’s citizens ten years ago. Today this has been decreased more than 75% and although in the meantime the population of the State has increased more than a million, the number of deaths from this cause is only one-fourth the former figure. During the past year the death rate of 13.9 per thousand inhabitants was the lowest in the history of the State. More than seventy-eight thousand people are alive in Pennsylvania today, who would | have died had the death rate of 1906 con- tinued. Of these 78,916 lives, 40,528 have been saved by the reduction of four prin- cipal diseases. Typhoid fever 18,865. Tuberculosis 11,924. Diphtheria 4,648 Whooping Cough 4,001. During these years 1,767,000 babies have been born in Pennsylvania whose births have been recorded with all the facts concerning them, in the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Department of Health. ; Since its establishment the Pennsyl- vania Department has served as a model for numerous other States that have de- sired to profit by the methods which have been here inaugurated. Gun Powder is made of nitre, charcoal, and sulphur in proper proportions intimately mingled with water. Nitre, charcoal and sulphur without that exact proportion and com- mingling have no more explosive value than common dirt. The nourishment of the body is made out of the food which is eaten; bread, meat, potatoes, etc. But unless this food is perfectly mixed in the stomach with the digestive juices it is as incapable of nourishment as the unmixed elements of gun powder are of explosion. For this reason health cannot be gauged by appetite. To obtain the benefit of ment for blood, nerve and muscle, the organs of digestion and nutrition must do their part. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi- cal Discovery makes blood and flesh, bone and muscle by putting the digestive and nutritive organs into perfect work- ing condition. It has no equal as a remedy for diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition. Marriage. Voltaire, in his “Philosophical Die tionary,” says: “The more married men you have the fewer crimes there will be. Examine the frightful col- umns of your criminal calendar; you will find there a hundred youths exe- cuted to one father of a family. Mar riage renders men morc virtuous and more wise. The father of a family is not willing to blush for his children; he is afraid to make shame their in- heritance.” Trick of Cuckoo and Cowbird. The English cuckoo, like the Ameri. can cowbird, leaves its single egg in the nests of birds much smaller than itself, like tne hedge sparrow, the pied wagtail and the meadow pipit. When the young cuckoo—a veritable giant in comparison with its nestmates—is a few days old it pushes its compan- ions out of the nest, and then becomes the sole object of the care of its tiny foster parents. Appropriate. A distinguished theologian was in. vited to give an address before a Sunday school. The divine spoke for over an hour, and his remarks were too deep to comprehend. At the con- clusion the superintendent, according to custom, requested some one in the school to name an appropriate hymn to be sung. “Sing ‘Revive Us Again,’ ” shouted a boy in the rear of the room. Epitaph Misinterpreted. A neighbor’s little daughter, after looking for some time at Shakes- peare’s epitaph, which hung over the professor’s fireplace, ran home. “Oh, mamma!” she said, “the B——s have the strangest sign in their living room. It says, ‘For God’s sake don't disturb the dust.’ ”—Boston Trans- script. Something of a “Slam.” Mandy—“What foh yo’ been goin’ to de post office so reg’lar?

T TEACH SMALL BOY TO READ Practical Instruction Given Through an Old Typewriter, With Good Results, In the Woman’s Home Companion a mother, writing under the title, “Be- fore He Went to School,” tells about her experiences teaching her small son at home. “Like most boys,” she says, “ours was always interested in anything that ‘would go,’ and he hailed with de- light the announcement that he might play with an old typewriter. He did not know that our reason for granting the privilege was that he might un- consciously learn to read and write. I wrote on the machine: ‘John is a good boy,’ using the capital letters be- cause he was most familiar with them, and allowed him to copy the sentence until he asked for another. Then fol- lowed such simple statements as: ‘He has some ice,” ‘I like her cat,” and so forth. Before long I found that the child was not using the copy at all; he explained that he did not have to because he could spell the words him- self. “The next thing was to explain how to write those same sentences as we did, to place a capital letter at the be. ginning and a period at the end. We were surprised to see how short a time it was before he was ready to learn to write. “John had some playmates who went to school and had learned to read, and he begged me to teach him. Not thinking he was quite ready but unwilling to discourage him in his am- bition, we bought a ten-cent copy of ‘Mother Goose’ with a few of his fa- vorite rhymes in it. He was shown where the words were to be found telling of the adventure of Jack and his sister Jill. Pointing to each word in turn, he ‘read’ the marvelous story to his companions, then regaled them with the yarn about the piper’s son, and that of ‘Old Mother Hubbard.” He thought he was reading, and the first thing we knew he really was.” TIRED OF NATIONAL ANTHEMS American Just Returned From London Explains Why He Would Like a Short Rest. “How restful it is to sit in an Amer ican theater in war times,” exclaimed a man who had just returned from London the other night. “Soporific, perhaps, but why rest ful?” he was asked. “You just go over to London and sit through a performance in one of | their theaters and see for yourself,” he replied. “Lord! Those everlast- ing, confounded national anthems! Four of them they play every night. And four times the entire audience stands stolidly up on its hind legs while those hymns are played. Not with any enthusiasm, mind you. re ligiously, dutifully, solemnly, just like family prayers. First ‘God Save the King’ then the ‘Marseillaise,’ then the Russian anthem, and finally the Bel gian. And at every theater there is the same routine. Personally I al ways liked the ‘Marseillaise’ and the Russian national hymn because they were magnificent tunes. But after a week of standing up four times a night while they are mournfully blared out on London theater orchestras you would begin to have an animosity for the finest music in the world.” i Healthful Hints. Eat fruit every day. Canned fruiis are good. Cooked fruits are often better than dubious fresh fruit, but some fresh fruit is essential. Eat fresh, green vegetables whenever you can get them. Thoroughly 'wash all Eat some of the bulky vegetables of low food value, like car- rots, parsnips, spinach, turnips, squash and cabbage, to prevent overnourish- ment. Eat slowly and taste your food well, and it will slide down and give more nourishment than food eaten quickly, Never eat when tired or overex. hausted, but lle down, even if only for a few minutes, before dining. Barley water is a safe and cooling drink and is nutritious as well. Put into a pitcher one large tablespoonful of well-washed pearl barley, pour over it two quarts of boiling water, cover and let stand until cold. Drain off the liquid, add one-half cup of sugar and a little nutmeg. If liked the juice of a lemon is a pleasant addition. * Every Man to His Trade. Mark Thistlewaite, private secretary to Vice-president Marshall, ran across a 30-page hand-written letter from a crank in the official mail one morn- ing. After reading three pages of it he decided, with a grin, to brighten his’ chief’s day by letting him wade through the document, and accordingly laid it on top of the pile of letters on his private desk. 3 , Vice-president Marshall came in with a cheery greeting and passed into his private office. There was si- lence of almost a minute, then the buzzer . sounded. “Mark,” claimed, as the secretary appeared, “when I keep a dog, do you suppose I'm going to do my own barking.” "Turpinite Is English Invention.

At times of overwhelming tragedy, when on every hand are to be found scenes of patriotism, self-sacrifice and dauntless bravery, when whole na- tions are stirred by great calamity, the fervor of public sentiment sometimes gives rise to incongruously comical situations. Such an incident occurred in Paris during the French mobiliza- tion. On August 3, a captain who was car- rying his equipment stopped a horse cab on a crowded street, and asked the driver to take him to the Eastern railway terminus. The cab stopped, and the cabman, who was in ill hu- mor, stared sullenly at the captain, and shook his head. “But it is urgent!” cried the cap- tain. “I am late! I must get there immediately!” Again the driver shook his head. A group of bystanders witnessed the cabman’s refusal. They spoke to one another in an undertone. Suddenly they rushed forward, picked up the captain bodily, thrust him, equipment and all, into the cab, and slammed the door. Some one pulled the driver from his seat. A man from the crowd leaped up and caught the reins. In | almost no time the captain was rat- tling away to the Eastern. railway terminus. As he looked back, he saw the crowd cheerfully rolling the surly cabman in the street.—Youth’s Com- panion. ARABIAN HORSES DYING OUT International Society Being Formed With a View to Perpetuation of This Valuable Breed. The Arab horse, a race which has been all-important in the development of the most valuable equine breeds of the present day, is said to be de- |! teriorating in quality and diminish- ing in numbers in its original home, owing to the changing habits of the Bedouins and increasing exportation. As a step toward preserving this famous breed there is being formed in ‘Cairo an international horse society. The first work of this society will be to start a studbook, one part of which will include only pure-bred horses of desert origin, while the other will be open to all so-called “Eastern” horses that is, horses bred in the near East, but having an infusion of alien blood. Pure-bred Arabians are now found only among the different Bedouin tribes of the Arabian and Syrian deserts (in Mesopotamia and the Nejd), in a few private studs in Egypt and in a very few European and American studs. The society will hold annual shows and auction sales at which will be of- fered animals of certified purity of pedigree. Interesting Finds in India. In recent researches at Surat Castle, India, Prof, O. V. Muller of Bombay says he was shown a large number of records dating from 1760 to 1830, which had been recently discovered in i the cells of the castle. These were largely price lists and other matter valuable to a study of Indian economic history. The most interesting find, however, was a proclamation written in Marathi in the Modi script which, after narrating the iniquities of the Peshwa Baji Rao, declared that he had been vanquished and afterward his dominions annexed by the Hon. East India company. The document add- | ed that if anyone should be dis- posed to disagree with this or desire to operate it, he would do 80. at the fine of his the confiscation of all his worldly pos- sessions. Finally, the document was “signed by order of Mountstuart El- phinstone Bahadur” by his Marathi secretary, and certified by a huge and still most perfect seal of Elphinstone. Tasks for European Statesmen. One hundred years ago the congress of Vienna was at work in an endeav- or to readjust the map of Europe— | the same task that the European statesmen will be called upon to per- form when the present great conflict is ended. Curiously enough, the ques- tion of Poland constituted one of the most perplexing problems before the congress of Vienna, as it probably will at the next great conference of the nations following the present war. A century ago, as now, the national instinct of Russia aimed at nothing short of claiming possession of the whole of Poland. And then, as now, England was inclined to keep anxious watch upon the excessive aggrandize- ment of Russia, and to oppose the latter's plans for the annexation of | Poland. ‘Some Golf Statistics.

One university professor also charges it with encour- aging large numbers of boys to fritter away the time they might have used in learning a useful trade, but the caddy with his ears open can learn a lot more than bad language, and if careful, can save enough to start in business, that is if he does not become rich enough to retire.
