ESSENTIAL AND WAR STRIPPED
RELIGION
The International Sunday School Lesson for April 7
Is "Jesus Sets Men Free"—
Mark 7:1-37
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
North America has not yet learn
ed that the war is certain to throw
into the discord most of the milli
nery and etiquette and minor usages
and incidental trimmings of church
life. In this purging experience re
ligion becomes stifled to reality.
Seen by the glare of the star-shells
on the battlefields of Prance, de
nominational distinctions seem
strangely petty; while essential re
ligion looms evor so great. Some per
sons will find it hard to give up the
incidental ceremonies of religious
practice; for arrays, as in the case
of the old Jews, religion tends to
petrify into forms and ceremonials,
even where the substance has be
come non-existent.
The dirtiest spot on earth known
to me is the present town of Tiber
ias on the shore of the Lake of Gal
ilee. Its filth is memorable even aft
er experience with hundreds of
oriental, communities. Two sects of
ultra-orthodox Spanish Jews make
Tiberias their Headquarters, main
taining schools of the rabbis there.
The curls hanging in front of the
ears and the distinctive, raiment of
the tradition-observing Jew are
more marked in Tiberias than any
where else in the whole land. Here
the zealous wait for the Messiah to
KNOW POSLAM'S
BARE POWER TO
REAL ECZEMA
You can make no mistake in using
Poslam, tirst and tor ail, to treat
Eczema or any Skin Disease. It is
the remedy of concentrated healing
properties. Apply it right on the
raw places that burn and itch; they
will be pacitied, soothed, cooled, and
will no longer harass. Poslam has
been considered a rare "find" by
many who never knew just what to
use to secure real and lasting relief
fof ailing skin. Shortest way to
eradicate Pimples, liashes, Inllainma
tion.
Sold everywhere. For free sample

Poslam Soap, medicated with Pos
lam, should be used if skin is tender
and sensitive.—Advertisement.

FRIDAY EVENING,
• rise from the waters of the Lake,
' according to their tradition, and to
• choose his disciples from their midst,
! proceeding to Safed on yonder hill
i to set up his earthly kingdom. Now
• all this religious zeal and ortho
. doxy and solicitude for ceremonial
! has no relation whatever to real
• cleanliness. This divorce between
i traditional "holiness" and common
■ decency seems to characterize qiany
sacred places. Thus Benares, the holy
> city of the Hindus, is so sacred
i that even if an infidel dies on its
• soil he has hopes of paradise. Yet
i Benares, the city, is fairly naus
, eous. Mecca, toward which every
Moslem turns when he prays, and
whither two hundred thousand pil
grims go every year, is the greatest
breeding place for cholera known to
medical science. They all represent,
like the fastidiousness of the Phar
isees, the religion of ceremonialism.
Rites and observances are exalted
to first place. The old Jews of the
time of Christ had overlaid the law
of Moses with their tradition until
religion had become a burden too
heavy to be borne. The exactions of
the rabbis ran down into every de
partment of human interest and
into every hour of the life of the
faithful.
The Reformer Dissents
Clearly and fearlessly Jesus took
issue with all this. He knew that
the tendency of all religion is to
deteriorate into a set of formal co
servances. The heathen faiths that
environed Israel, even as the heath
en faiths to-day, prescribed prac
tices and ritual instead of spiritual
faith. So the brave Teacher from
Nazareth did not hesitate to indict
the experts in religious ceremonial
ism as blind guides. With high dis
dain he dismissed the Pharisees and
their claims as teachers. In this, as
always, the principles he laid down
hold for all time.
One wonders and wonders Just
how much of our present detailed
religious teaching the crystalliza
tion of the traditions of the elders
—and how much of the machinery
of religion, will have to give way
before the new clear spirit of Jesus
speaking to our time in the thun-|
ders of battle? Already the maga
zines are raising fundamental ques
tions as to the adequacy of our pulpit
teaching for the times. All of us are
ready to drop nonessentials; but
there is no thoughtful person, what
j ever his creed, who is not eager to
j know the mind of God for mankind.
' The platform of the Reformer
f upon which all the race will oliej
1 day come to stand, is "God is a spir

Safe Home Treatment
(or Objectionable Hairs
(Boudoir Secrets)
The electric needle is not required
for the removal of hair or fuzz, for
with the use of plain delatone the
most stubborn growth can be quick
ly banished. A paste is made with
water and a little" of the powder,
then spread over the hairy surface.
In about two minutes it is rubbed
off and the skin washed. This sim
ple treatment not only rmoves the
liair, but leaves the skin free from
blemish. Be sure you get genuine
delatone.
Jifiu must worship Hlni in spirit
and in truth." Lip religion is not
life religion. Seeming right is less
important than being right. The
fundamental consideration for every
life Is that the heart shall be right
with God. This is not effected by
religious demeanor and prescribed
practices; on the contrary, out of
the heart flow the fruits of a true
religion.
Clean Hands or Clean Lives
The debate which Is set foth in
this present Sunday school lesson
arose from the fact that the dis
ciples of Jesus did not observe all
the strict Pharisaical rituais. In
truth, nowhere In the world do the
busy, out-of-door folks, the plain
people, follow all the minutiae of
the ritual of their religious teach
ers. The peasant women in Moslem
lands go about unveiled. The ordi
nary Arab does not say his five
prayers daily nor perform the pre
scribed ablutions; the Chinese peas
ant neglects his god-shelf, and the
Japanese farmer is delinquent in
daily offerings before the shrines
These peasant fishermen who follow
ed Jesus were neglectful of the
etiquette of the conventional relig
ious leaders.
The question was not one of ac
tually clean hands but of ceremon
ial details. I have ridden with Mos
lem pilgrims on the Mecca rail
way and found them a liltliy crew,
whose filthiness was not altered by
the fact that they washed certain
portions of their bodies five times a
day. Certain of the Moslem sects
were distinguished by the way they
laved their forearms —whether from
the forearm toward the hand, or
from the hand toward the elbow.
There are scores of these ceremonial
practices in Islam, all of them assid
uously cultivated by the men on
pilgrimage, yet the immortality of
the pilgrims at Mecca may not be
told in English speech. Neither
Jesus nor His friends would bind
themselves by similar petty regula
tions concerning the usages pre
scribed by the rabbis and the Phar
isees.
The ecclesiastically correct were
very careful to keep their hands
and their lips, but what they needed
was to "keep their heart with all
diligence," for out of it were the is
sues of life. Jesus came preaching
the new and radical gospel of a
heart religion. It mattered not what
a man ate so much as what he said.
His clean hands were not atonement
for a heart full of unrighteousness.
If religion does not make over a
man's heart it does not do anything
of value to him. Conformity to a
creed or system of government or
ecclesiastical usage means nothing
unless the heart itself ha> been
made new. Jesus is differentiated
from nil the other teachers of re
ligion in that His gospel is based up
on the principle of the new heart.
Iteligion Out of Bounds
A deep-rooted lense of our own
crowd, and an instinctive tendency
to turn our backs upon the outsider,
especially if he seems an inferior, is
a fundamental fact in human na
ture. No matter how much we talk
about brotherhood, it is difficult for
even the most tolerant of us to real
ize that every man Is a brother and
a possible equal. That is why democ
racy is the highest attainment of
humanity. The exclusive attitude in
politics and society and in religion
is easy and natural. The democratic,
■brotherly attitude can only be achiev
ed by conscious effort, or by a new
spirit.
Jesus, be it remembered, was a
Jew, who had come to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel. One day he
was met by a Greek woman, a dwell
er in this heathen fringe of the
Holy Eand. She was a Gentile and
a pagan, and accustomed to hear
from the orthodox Jews the appella-*
tion of "dog." But she had a deep
human grief which took no account
of her nationality or religion. The
elemental human qualities run
through all colors, race® and creeds.
The woman's daughter was in the
clutch of an evil spirit. The pre
dominant fact in the family life was
the illness of the child. The supreme
ambition of mother and daughter
was health for the afflicted child.
So, brushing aside all barriers that
separated the Gentile from the ortho
dox Jew, she fell at the feet of
Jesus and entreated Him, with a
paroxysm of urgency such as only
they who have encountered an
oriental beggar, or one asking for
mercy, can understand. It is a very
real and human picture which the
historian records here—a mother
pleading for her child. Her great
need had given her great daring.
There was no resisting such hu
mility and persisting faith. The
daughter was cleansed straightway.
Thus began the foreign mission en
terprise, at least In its medical as
pect.
The Soldier's Confidence
The second incident included in
this lesson, is laid back in Caper
naum, the home city of Jesus, and,
for those who are fond of pursuing
types, it may represent Christian
work for foreigners in one's native
land. This time it was not a sup
pliant alien woman who approached
Jesus, but a proud Roman comman
der, solicitous for a Servant strick
en with the palsy.
This man warms our heart. He is
of the time to whom "noblesse
oblige" was a vital principle. • He
bumbled himself for his servant's
sake; the welfare of his dependants
was a fundamental concern of his
life. If all employers were like this
Roman centurion, there would be
scant need to write about an indus
trial problem. The sudden delight
of discovering noble qualities where
they were not expected was given
to Jesus. His own royal heart
must have leaped as He saw this
proud Roman bending a knee in be
half of a slave. As chivalry instant
ly responds to chivalry, and as gen
tility commands gentility, so Jesus
instantly responded, "I will come
and heal him."
Still higher rises the lofty spirit
of the centurion. He knew what be
longed to mastery. Himself a man
of authority, accustomed, to say to
this one. "Go, and he goeth; and to
another, come, and he cometh; and
to my servant, do this, and he
doeth it," the centurion replied
with the noble self abasement of
the great, "1 am not worthy that
thou shouldest come under my
roof; but only say the word and
my servant shall be healed." It was
greatness recognizing greater great
ness. It was a noble mind in the
presence of a nobler.
Farmers Hear New Jersey
Expert on War Problem
"Food will win the war. Grow It!"
was the burden of the address by
Prof. Alva Agee, Secretary of Agri
culture of New Jersey, to the meet
ing of farmers In the courthouse ar
ranged by the Dauphin County Farm
Agent last evening.
Prof. Agee reviewed the state of
the food supplies of our allies, with
a resume of conditions at home, de
claring that victory is farther away
than it appeared to be six months
ago.
He upheld the fuelless da*Vs of the
winter, declaring them necessary to
get wheat and coal to England. Our
need of ships to utilize crops of
South America and Australia was
told by Prof. Agee. The burden of
the war, he reminded the farmers,
rests upon those who have land.

Woman Thought Dead
Sees Coffin Brought
Into Room; Is Saved
Woodland, Cal. —Had it not been
for a colored "mammy" who detect
ed signs of life, Mrs. Gustav Kunze
would have been buried alive. Con
valescent after an operation, Mrs.
Kunze to-day related for the first
time how it felt to lie absolutely
quiescent, knowing that her grave
was being dug, that she had been
prepared by the undertaker for bur
ial and that all the funeral arrange
ments had been completed.
The incident occurred several
years ago, before embalming had be
come a necessary adjunct to the un
dertaking business, but Mrs. Kunze,
who is prominently known here, had
never related the story to even her
most intimate friends.
This happened on Sunday. Fun
eral arrangements were made for
10 o'clock on the following Wednes
day morning. In the meantime the
undertaker arrived and the young
girl was laid out and all the grue
some details of burial preparation
were made. Even the coflln was
brought in the same room in which
she was laid out.
Although acutely aware of all
that was transpiring, Mrs. Kunze was
unable to give so much as a quiver
of an eyelash.
On Tuesday evening a colored
servant insisted, alter viewing the
supposed corpse, that she detected
signs of life. The father became ex
cited and summoned the doctor.
The medical man refused to ac
company the parent home, saying
he had "pronounced the girl dead
once," and didn't propose to listen
to "old women's talk."
But the colored "mammy" still in
sisted that the body showed signs of
life and the father securing a shot
gun, again went after the doctor,
threatening to blow off his head if
he didn't come and do something
for his dughter.
Resuscitating treatments were ap
plied.
011 Makes Country
School Teacher Rich
Eldorado, Kan.—From a poor
struggling country school teacher to
possessor of $125,000 is the leap
Charles Buskirk made when he sold
his one-sixteenth interest in the
Great Southern Oil Company, which
has valuable holdings in western
Greenwood County, to Jones
Brothers, of Independence, Kan., for
that sum.
Jones Brothers control the Great
Southern Oil Company, owning fif
teen-sixteenths of the stock. They
sold one-half interest in the com
pany to the Tidal Company for $2,-
500,000. The company was produc
ing wells on the Hull and Gregg-
Stanliope farms near Rosalia.
Buskirk located the Great South
ern's first well on the Hull, which
came in last fall, and has held up
at about 200 barrels ever since. For
that and work in obtaining leases in
that part of the county he was given
a one-sixteenth interest.

with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. A small dose gives a free, easy movement of the
bowels. It is the best substitute for nature herself. In fact,
since the ingredients are wholly from the vegetable kingdom
it may truthfully be said it is a natural laxative. t y t< j
Its positive but gentle action on the bowels makes it an
ideal remedy for constipation. The dose is email, and it may
be taken with perfect safety until the bowels are regulated and
act again of their own accord.
The druggist will refund your money it it faila to
do aa promised.
