WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS
Out from The Vi
carage, Stookton-on-
Lees, Scotland, there
comes the following:
letter to me, written
in the Christmas
season: "I am send
ing the enclosed, aa
I am sure It. will pain
you as much as It
has me. I do not
know if you wrote It
at all, but am quite
sure you never
meant such a heath
enish sentiment to
'influence the world:
and at Christmas
time, too, when Christ, the God of All,
Is in everyone's thoughts. No doubt
you will be able to withdraw It before
next Christmas.
"MARY MARTIN."
The "heathenish sentiment" Mary
Martin enclosed was a quatrain writ
ten by me several years ago. It reads
as follows:
fio many gods; so many creeds;
So many ways that wind and wind;
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
I do not know who Mary Martin Is.
Doubtless she is the wife or the daugh
ter of the vicar at Stockton-on-Lees.
One can only breathe a little prayer
or pity and sorrow for the poor souls
who are obliged to listen to the theol
ogy which emanates from that vicar
age.
It must be filled with threats of
God's anger at all who "fell through
Adam's sin," and it must breathe much
more of the flames of hell than of the
sweet winds of heaven.
It must indeed be very old-fash
ioned, very unwholesome, very dreary
und dreadful theology to have edu
cated a woman's mind in such a nar
row and bigoted run as Mary Martin's
mind shows itself to be in this letter.
The quatrain was written because
of the consciousness in the writer's
mind of the need upon the earth to
day of the simple religion of kindness
—a religion which, if practiced hour

the home, in the social world and in

DEATH ROBBED OF ANOTHER VICTIM
Mrs. Anna M. Johnson, of 1326 N. Third Street, This City, Suffered Hor
rible Tortures For Over Twelve Years and Often Prayed That Death
Might Relieve Her—To-day She Is Well, Hale and Hearty and Openly
Attributed Her Seemingly Miraculous Cure to Quaker
It would be folly to even attempt to
describe the terrible pains and tor
tures to which Mrs. Anna M. Johnson
has been subject during the past
twelve years. Hypedermic injections
of morphine, that dreadful, dangerous
drug, were resorted to for years to re
lieve her pains; she had several at
tacks of spasms of the brain, which
are usually fatal; she actually groan
ed in her misery. All of her troubles
seemed to emanate from her stomach.
She would bloat to Immense propor
tions, would be hungry, but oould not
eat. She could not describe where or
how she suffered most, excepting to
nay—my stomach —my stomach. She
felt then a continuous gnawing and
grinding sensation. From a strong,
robust and healthy woman she was

the churches, would banish crime, dis
cord and gloom from the hearts of
men.
The old-fashioned theologies have
had their day. They must god. They
caused bloody wars: they put upon the
torture rack; they burned at the
stake; they boiled in kettles of ol);
they slowly starved those who would
not believe as the leaders of these
theological schools believed.
Such cruel and loveless religious
have done more to bring suffering and
sorrow upon the earth than all other
causes combined. More blood has
flown, more communities been devas
tated, more lives have been sacrificed
at the command of bigoted minds, In
the name of religion, than through
greed. lust of power and desire of
gain all united.
This is a highly spiritual age. But
Its spirituality is not doctrinal.
Everywhere, In the churches and
without the churches, souls are crav
ing for the creedless religion; the re
ligion of practical kindness; the re
ligion of love, hope, helpfulness; the
religion of willing service, perfect
trust, joyous faith and universal good
will. It is only through such a relig
ion, nourished In the heart and ex
pressed in the daily life, that the latest
of the world's Great Masters, the gen
tle Christ, will be satisfied when He
takes account of the deeds of His fol
lowers.
Many people are filled with the be
lief to-day that the second coming of
this Great Master is near.
He who said "A new commandment
I give unto you, Love one another,"
Is surely expecting His faithful ones to
understand the law of kindness.
For just the art of being kind is all
the sad world needs to carry out the
new commandment.
We recommend the following verses
to Mary Martin in place of her dreary
theologs - :
Thinking of Christ, and hearing what
men say
Anent His second coming, some near
day.
Unto the Me of me, I turned to ask:
What can we do for Him, and by what
task
Or through what sacrifice can we pro
claim
Our mighty love, and glorify His
name ?

short of breath, palpitation and dizzi
ness . So pitiable became her condi
tion at times that she actually wished
for death. She applied to the best
possible medical experts, spent money
for years, endeavoring to bo cured,
but alas, all was for naught—she
grew steadily worse. Her neighbors,
her friend 6 and acquaintances all
realized her serious condition. She was
told by numbers of people to call and
try Quaker, but she had no faith In
either, but as she read of one cure
after another by Quaker remedies, she
finally dropped her prejudice and
called at the drug store and obtc !ned a
treatment of Quaker Extract and left
the drug store with a faithful promise
to the Health Teacher to carefully fol

Whereon Myself replied (thinking of
Christ),
Has not God's glory unto Him suf
ficed?
What need has He of temples that
men raise?
What need has He of anv songs of
praise ?
Not sacrifice or offerings needs He.
(Thinking of Christ, so spake Myself
to me.)
The rivers from the mountain do not
try
To feed the source from which they
Sain supply.
They pay their debt by flowing on
and down.
And carrying comfort to the field and
town.
They scatter Joy and beauty on their
course
In gratitude to the Eternal Source.
And thus should we (thlnglng of
Christ) bestow
The full, sweet tides of love that
through us flow
Upon earth's weaker creatures. To
the less
Must flow the greater, would we lift
and bless.
Christ Is the Mountain Source; each
heart a river;
The thirsting meadows need us—not
the Giver.
Thinking of Christ, let us proclaim
His worth
By gracious deeds to mortals on this
earth;
And while we wait His coming let .us
bring
Sweet love and pity to the humblest
thing,
And show our voiceless kin of air and
sod
The mercy of the Universal God.
Not by long prayers, though prayers
renew our grace;
Not by tall spires, though steeples have
their place;
Not by our faith, though faith is
glorious—
Can we prove Christ; but BY THE
LOVE IN US.
Mercy and love and kindness; seek
these three.
Thus (thinking of Christ Myself said
unto me.
Five Years in Pen For
Forger of U. S. Checks
Five years in the Eastern Peniten
tiary and SIOO fine was the penalty In
flicted, upon Harry West, who pleaded
guilty yesterday to forging the name
of a naval paymaster and the treas
urer of the United States. Federal
Judge Witmer imposed sentence in
Middle District United States Court.
West is said to have worked under
at least sixty aliases. He victimized
scores of postmasters throughout
Pennsylvania, particularly those in the
smaller towns. His favorite stunt was
to drop into a small job printing shop
and have Lnited States treasury
checks and notes printed. The checks
were for amounts varying from $lO
to $25. Five other district courts
have indictments for West. Inci
dentally he has been a convict at Fort
Leavenworth and at Atlanta, Ga.
