SCHENCK & SON, Philadelphia FRIDAY EVENING, * BARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MAY 12, 1916 TEACHING CHILDREN TO BE THRIFTY * • By Frederic J. Haskin [(ontiuued From Editorial Page] ous parts of the country, the Bureau lof Education has, lent support to the j | movement, and parent-teachers asso- I loiations everywhere are discussing the I subject of youthful economy. The school savings bank, a prominent fea- ; , ture of European education, intro ■ duced into this country in 1898, has | gained in popularity and is now be- I ing adoped by many schools which heretofore hardly knew of its exis- 1 ; tence. But the children are not only be ing taught to save money; they are I being taught how to spend it. There is a difference between penury and ; thrift. The latter is a habit; the ; former an obsession, which is Just as j much to be avoided as extravagance in an aggravated form. In instruct ing the kiddles, therefore, it should be made clear that the accumulation of money is not an object in itself, ! but the means to an object. If a • boy wants a pair of skates, or a j basketball, or a tennis racquet, or a college education when he grows up, |he is usually willing to make sacri fices, such as abstaining from candy and marbles, to get the things he ! wants, but there is, and should be, little Incentive to put money away in ■ the bank—simply to put it there. There is nothing interesting or par ticularly worthy in the act itself un less it is a means to an end. | The greatest value of the savings account to the child lies in the fact ithat he has earned the monev him self, and it therefore rightfully be longs to him and to no one else. Whether he accumulates it by sell -1 ing papers, or by the slow process of ! rewards for running errands and re fraining from spilling jam on the tablecloth, he has bought the right to it by giving something in exchange. For this reason, he should be per mitted to spend the money himself, although a certain amount of parental I supervision is, of course, necessary. Parents are often prone to over j look this sacred right of ownership and calmly annex their son's or daughter's savings account for shoes or hair ribbons, or something like that. Two little Philadelphia boys, who by many heroic sacrifices of new baseball bats and caramels, had man aged to save $25 each In a school savings bank, were suddenly left fatherless and the money was taken | by their mother to buy them clothing. While this parent had no intention of j I being unkind, and made use ot" her children's savings only as a last re-| sort to purchase necessaries for them, j it would have been more considerate : to the boys if she had allowed them ; !to do the actual spending for the 1 clothing under her supervision. As | ; it was. this pleasant sense of ponder ous responsibility and ownership was : | denied them. I One well-to-do woman boasted to a 1 teacher that her daughter was now 12 years old, and had never spent a J ' cent. She explained that money was sordid, and that she did not wish her 1 child to value everything by its mone tary worth. Everything, even candy, 1 was always bought for her, and she | was never told the price. Needless to say, she was never made to earn j anything. Later, however, it devel oped that the daughter had learned 'the value of things from other chil dren, and was selling her belongings 1 for the price of entrance fees to see Alary Pickford. This child did not realize she was doing anything she shouldn't. She was merely finding expression for an impulse of economic j independence, and for the first time ] in her life she was giving something j in return for what she got. I There are many ways in which chil dren may earn and save money. The girls' canning clubs and boys' pig clubs, for instance, are splendid ex amples of inculcating thrift. The average farmer is usually a hard- I working individual with a large fam- I ily, who seldom saves a great deal i above the cost of living and the in terest on the mortgage. As a re | suit, there is very little left over to ! give to the children as spending [money. Except on Fourth of July and Christmas, the boy on the farm rarely knows what a quarter looks like. But by working a green veg- I etable garden or raising a litter of pigs, the boy may realize a profit on | his labor and start a bank account | toward his ambition. Likewise, a , girl who can help supply the demand for canned peaches or tomatoes, may j have a good sum in the bank by the I time she is 20. i Gardening is a congenial and profit able occupation for the average child, ' and Dr. I'. P. Claxton, of the United I States Bureau of Education, recom ! mends it highly in teaching thrift in | the schools.

WHEN THE CHURCH CROSSED RUBICON Saul and Barnabas Made Great Decision in Asia Minor By William T. Rills The Rubicon of the Christian Church : was crossed by Saul and Barnabas In | what is now troubled Asia Minor. They ] settled forever the question of whether Christianity was for tlie Jews or for the whole world. That story is the Sunday school lesson for to-day. Like jail the present series, It has its setting in the land to which the newspapers are calling our attention afresh, trou bled, distracted, blood-stained Turkey. Jr.i h tr.^'° n v i' hPre the two first Chris tian missionai leu were the center of a I h J o O^ U .

Let me quote from one authority a picture of old Antioch, v; nlch will give pause to those extreme critics of our modern cities who are fond of saying that vice Is winning new victories in our time: "In 'Antioch the Beautiful' there was to be found everything which Italian wealth, Ureek aestheticism, and Orien tal luxury could produce. The ancient writers, however, are unanimous in describing the city as one or the foul est and most depraved in thfc world. Cosmopolitan in disposition, the citi ezns acted as if they were emancipated from every law, human or Divine. li centiousness, superstition, quackery, in decency, every fierce and base passion, were displayed by the populace; their skill in coining scurrilous verses was notorious, their sordid, fickle, turbu lent, and insolent ways rendered the name of Antioch a by-word for all that was wicked. Their brilliance and energy, so praised by Cicero, were balanced by an incurable levity and shameless disregard for the first prin ciples of morality. So infamous was the grove of Daphne, five miles out of the city, filled with shrines, to Apollo, Venus, Isis, etc., and crowded with theaters, baths, taverns, and danc ing saloons, that soldiers detected there were punished and dismissed from the Imperial service. 'Paphnic morals' became a proverb. Juvenal could find no more forcible way of describing the pollutions of Rome than by saying, "The Orontes has flowed into tin* Ti ber.' In this Vanity Fair the Jews were resident in large numbers, yet they ex«rted little or no influence on the morals of the city." What a soil to produce so fair a lily as the missionary spirit of the Christian Church! As a matter of simplest psychology, it was necessary for those early Christians to be either militant or moribund. Had they been inactive and conventionalized, their faith would have been submerged in the inire of pollution amid which they found themselves. The only sure way to preserve in its purity one's faith amid adverse cir cumstances is .to be outspoken and active in its promulgation. The boy who goes to school and tries to keep secret the fact of his church mem bership is likely to have a sorry time of it; whereas the other who, from the first, tries to do Christian' work among his schoolmates will find his faith growing as he gjes. The Chris tian man in business can save his re ligion from contamination only as he tries to Influence his business and his associates by sedulous service. The only wav to keep one's religion is to continually try to give it away. Had the Antioch Church not been nusslon arv it would quickly have been miss ink In serving the whole world It saved itself. The philosophy of Jesus ; is a life principle that applies univer i sallv: "He that loseth his life shall save it." What is spent survives. The surest cure for a church or a nation ' menaced by selfishness and materlal- I ism Is a lilgli consecration to a large and unselfish service. When the Crowd Stood Hack Those Anttoch Christians had too much sense und too much religion to feel that they needed to keep all their strong members right In their midst. There Is a lesson here for the churcnes which retain on their roll members who have moved away and ought to be active in some other church. The An tioch congregation freely gave Saul and Barnabas to the wider work, in fact, they held a solemn service to set them apart for this mission. That in H. good old fashion that would bear reviving. Why should not a church solemnly set apart its members who have been calle.l to any kind of special ministry? We ordain pastors and a few of the other church officers, why should we not solemnly set apart and dedicate the social service worker, the man who has given himself to the bovs' work, the secretary of student activities, the superintendent of girls' clubs, the rescue mission worker, the leader in young people's activities? I„et the whole church stand together and behind every one of Its represen tatives who goes out in its name to do larger service for the Kingdom. On many a discouraged day in their mis sionary journey Saul and Barnabas thought with a glow of joy, and with a new accession of strength, of the companv of praying Christians back in Antloch. whose representatives they were.

The lesson which began !n i Autloch in Syria continues in the Antl- | oeh in Asia Minor. lu the Old Church Anybody wMio spent a Sunday in a 1 hotel knows the problem of Sunday , i as it confronts the traveler. A few , there are who, like Saul and Barna- ! has and like Jesus before them, go to j the old church on Sunday. These Christians had not outgrown the syna gogue . It was not adequate, and they had a bigger and better gospel than I it knew, yet it was the best represen tative of the religion of the true God j i to be found in these heathen cities, and they stood by it. ; i A popular pastime of to-day is to find fault with the church—and how j many faults she has! Yet after all I lias been said, the church is the best j representative of God on earth and j the best agency for the service of i man. 1 question the judgment of the person who is "too big" to go to church, and especially of the Christian , who thinks that the church is not holy i enough to satisfy his pious soul. H I met a man of that sort in a China | city. He had tried all the churches | |of the city and had even started one I of his own. But when I knew him | he had separated from them all and was conducting his own religious ex ercses in his home. It perhaps would not be charitable to quote what the members of the churches said about this man, but I myself found that des pite his overpowering plostty he was a little sharper in business than I had expected even a cranky Christian to be, and it cost me a considerable sum to learn that a man may be entirely too pious to go to church, and yet not too religious to practice sharp deals on unsuspecting customers on week days. ' j The "Go-to-Church Movement," which ! I has sprung out of the modern publicltv | propaganda, is big and wise and ail : good citizens should be squarely be | hind it. There is a place for every body in a church of his choice, and Lit is true service of God and a sign of I good citizenship to be found regularly | in that place. The First Missionary Sermon When in the synagogue the strangers were invited to speak to the congre ! gation, Paul stood up—he Is here first ; called Paul, rather than Saul —and be gan on the common ground where they j stood to tell the familiar story of God's ! dealings with the chosen people. From j j every standpoint, the sermon, which j was the first missionary discourse on ' record, was a good one. It was full of Scripture. You cannot have a first class and effective sermon if it does ; not abound In the living word of Holy : Writ. Every minister must constantly watch himself lest his sermon contain | too much of the dally newspaper and not enough of the Inspired Word. It ! was a sermon full of facts and not all ; lexhortlons.
