vi Constitution day.
THE Daughters of the American
Revolution are sponsors for the
celebration of "Constitution day."
September 17. They, in compeny with
all good citizens look with alarm at
a growing spirit of disregard to the
constitution, In fact to law and order,
and to the flag. In accordance with
a desirs expressed by this patriotic
order that the ministers cf tnls city
recognize Constitution day In their
sermona, I wish to have you consider
for a little time the subject "Tha
Home, the School and the Church, and
Their Relations to Each Othsr and to
tha Nation." The scripture that your
attention Is Invited to will be found In
Deuteronomy chapter six, verses four
to nice: "Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our
God Is one Jehovah, and thou shalt
love Jehovah thy God with all thy
heart, and with al thy soul, and with
all tby might. And - these words,
which I command thee this day, shall
be upon thy heart; and thou shalt
teach them diligently unto thy chil
dren, and thou shall talk of them
when thou aittest in thy 'house, and
whan tbou walkest by the way, and
when thou liest down, and wnen thou
risest up. And thou shalt bind them
for a aign upon thy hands, and they
shall be for frontlets between thine
eyes. And thou shalt. write them upon
the door posts of thy bouse, and upon
thy gates.". Titus 111:1 "Put them In
mind to be subject to principalities
and powers, to obey magistrates, to
be ready to every good work, to apeak
evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but
gentl-e, shewing all meekneas unto all
men." Peter 11:17 "Honor ail men.
Love the brotherhood. Fear God.
Honor the king."
As we consider "Constitution day"
it seems to us If we are to hive that
proper respect, loyalhy and devo
tion to our flag and constitution It
must be secured by a greater em
phasis placed on the value of the
home, the school and tbe church to
the nation.
The Home:
When two young people are suffi
ciently In love with each other and
have decided to marry they go to the
courthouse, and from the clerk of the
eourt secure a marriage license. This
is a legal document. The marriage
ceremony Is invariably performed by
an ordained minister who haa re
ceived a permit from the county clerk

Difficulties with the transportation
of students to and from school are
row obviated, for special deputies are
engaged to assist the loading of street
cars, on the corner of Emerson and
Mississippi streets.

On Wednesday of last week the
school library was the scene of an at
tractive reception given in honor of
the new teachers. Flowers furnished
by Mr. Mangold were used in the dec
orations. Miss Holman, dean of girls.
as chairman, helped make the affair
successful. A feature of the pro
gramme was the plan of having the
department heads Introduce the old
members of th faculty to the new
members. Refreshments wers sarvsd
by the girls' domestic science class,
superintended by Miss Hayes.

iney are a most ambitious class.
Senior social activities have bad an
early start, for a picnic on the Linn
ton beach Tuesday evening was an
event of the week. An appetizing
lunch of sandwiches, salad and cake
was prepared by the energetic girls
of the class, and Mrs. Hiestand, who
registers the January class in room
id, chaperoned the crowd.
The first meeting of tha James
jonn student body council occurred
xriaay, September . after school. At
this meeting nominees for the Tuma
lum staff were selected. From this
list tne students elected the follow
ing Tumalum staff for the ensuing
term: Editor-in-chief, Joy Efteland;
literary editor, Vesta Hughes; public
welfare, Eleanor Doughty; athletics,
I-eonard Harrington; art. Anna Poe;
Dusiness manager, Romayne Brand
assistant business manager, Robert

Every evening finds the footbsll
boys practicing faithfully on the
grounds of the Williams school. This
year the James John lineup Is
unusually heavy, and a large number
of the boys have turned out.
The school has been fortunate In
obtaining the services of Eugene
Hlatt, a James John graduate, as
football coach. Mr. Hart won a no
table record as a football player at
Corvallis, Or.: Syracuse. N. Y.. and
at the Texas military camps. He
was captain of the first football team
at James John and naturally feels
much interest in the school. The
student body Is confident that with
Mr. Hlatt as coach the James Joha
football team will have a good sea
son.

The domestic science department
started the term well by serving a
luncheon to the St. Johns business
men tbe first week of school. The
guests, ten in number, were mem
bers of the world's fair site commit
tee of the St. Johns Community club.
The canning of fruits has been oc
cupying the time of the domestic
science girls, and they have been
aided by the faculty, who enjoyed an
"apple-paring bee" Wednesday after
school. The fruits canned have been
donated to the school and will be
used In the cafeteria later in the year.
The James John cafeteria will open
tomorrow.

performed due notice of the same
must be returned to the county clerk
by the officiating clergyman. Thus
the home In its very Inception has a
direct relation to law, to the state.
Be it also remembered that the mar
riage ritual Is tsken from tha Bible,
and In the promises affirmed before
witnesses the contracting parties, no
matter what their shades of belief
may be, have recognise and publicly
acknowledged the supremacy of law,
the word of God, the divine being
and the sacrednesa of an oath. Thus
In love, faith in God. prayer and obe
dience to law a home 1 established.

A MEETING of the January, .'21
class was held last Monday. Mr.
Schwartztrauber was elected an hon-
oiary member of the class In place of
Mr. Patton, who has left the school.
Ted Baum was unanimously elected
editor of the class Cardinal and Philip
Silver was made business manager.
Plans for a get-together party to be
held In the near future were discussed
and Sophia Sheik was made the new
chairman of tbe party committee. On
the whole a great deal of business
was accomplished during the meeting
and plans were laid for a very busy
ttrm.
"
An assembly was held Friday morn-
lug for the celebration of Constitution
day. As is usual on such special oc
casions tbe orchestra furnished the
music, playing several special selec
tions. The speaker was Judge Ross
man, who gave a splendid talk on the
constitution of tbe United States and
what it means to us.
e
The first meeting c? the football
candidates was held last week. There
is much good material from which the
tttm is to be picked. Several letter
men have returned this fall and are
to play for a second season. Mr. Wa

The first assembly of the term was
held last Tuesday. Mr. Boyer led In
the singing of a number of the
school's favorite songs. Then Mr.
Davis gave an interesting and help
ful talk to the students about their
future opportunities and how they
should meet them.
Miss Larrabee, a well-known and
well-liked member of the faculty, is
ply chosen and given by the parents,
in this a Christian or at least a
Biblical custom Is followed.
In order that any home may flour
ish, or even exist, there must be an
Income greater than the outgo. That
Is there must be employment remu
nerative and continued employment.
Our nation and Its officials have been
greatly exercised, and, indeed, who
has not. by the fact that there are,
or very recently were, well over five
million of unemployed workers In
the United States. Some connect the
rise of bolshevlsm, anarchy and dis
respect for law and' order with unem
ployment. They aay that forced un
employment breeds socialism of the
undesirable kind and that the wave
of crime, so much discussed. Is due
directly to the fact that wage earners
are not earning wages. However
that may be, of this we are certain,
that every borne needs, in addition to
love and respect and confidence,
money to keep it going. Employment
Is a sine qua non. The disabling of
the wage earner In any home is a
tragedy, but when able-bodied men,
respectable, law-abiding men, cannot
find employment, and when hunger
and want stare them In the fsce. It
strikes at the very vitals of the home
and s bound to have its effect upon
the nation. Bless the home and the
nation la blessed. Blight the home;

likely to be obtained from men who
are able sufficiently to provide for
their homes, and lay by a little for
the possible rainy day, than from
those who are on the verge of des
peration from lack of employment.
But wa would not be Desalmistln. for
already tbere are abundant signs of'
returning prosperity, and" may we '
not do our best to create an atmos
phere congenial to Its return?
The School.
It Is from the homes that the school
finds Its material for instruction,
Tbe school exists because there are
homes whose children must be edu
cated. We would not have the stig
ma of Illiteracy stamped upon our
homes; better still, we will, through
our schools, give our children that
opportunity. In their impressionable
years, to obtain that mental equip
ment necessary for the coping with
problems of life. No nation can long
exist in these modern days that puts
a low valuation on education. It has
been said, "Wherever Germany goes

the French go. you will find a rail

ever the Americans go, you will find
a schoolhouse." The schoolhouse Is
dear to American hearts. When our
forefathers cams to this country
seeking a place where they might
worship God according to the dic
tates of their own consciences there
were three institutions that sprang
into being and flourished side by
side the church, the town meeting
and the schpoL Never once in all
the days of the history of this coun
try has a low emphasis been placed
upon the value of education. No man
who values democracy can speak
lightly of the little red schoolhouse.
It has had its place, and an impor
tant place, too. Our schools today
are great Institutions. However
beautiful they may be as buildings
and masterpieces of architecture;
however well they may be lighted,
ventilated and tinted; however finely
they may be equipped with furnish
ings, gymnasium, baths, first-aid ap
pliances, and whatever scientific care
and forethought may provide, the
fact remains that they exist because
of the home.
Iatereata Are Inaenarable.
The interests of the home and ths
school are Inseparably connected. We
must not lose sight of our original
proposition, namely the value of the
home and the school to the nation.
The home is tflk unit of society. It
aald that ancient Rome went to the
wall because it cVased to put the
proper emphasis upon homes and
through its debauchery and sensual
pleasure became tired of homes and
the care and training of children. We
are Informed that there are more
than 21, 000.000 children of school age
in the United States, so we are in no
immediate danger of collapse so far
ss children are concerned. Our
schools are of the very best, they are
open to children from all kinds of
homes; indeed, attendance Is not op
tional but compulsory. Tills open
schoolroom to all classes shows a
fine spirit of democracy. The prob
lem of the school is with the home.
The children in a very real way take
their home with them to echooL The
school cannot get away from the
home. Where the children grow up
in wholesome, happy Christian homes,
where there is respect for authority,
where tha children have learned to
obey, to have a due regard for pos
sessions of others, where speech is
clean, the task of the teacher is sim
plified. Wherj the reverse is true

her task is doubly hard. Tha school
has a wonderful Influence on all its
pupils from whatever homes they
come. Pure air. wholesome sur
roundings, helpful companionship
with others, the Inspiration of teach
ers and the educating influences of
ths playground all go to make school
life pleasant and helpful and profit
able. An American boy robbed of the
chance of going through the public
school is robbed of a big slice of
that which every red-blooded normal
boy needs to insure success in later

The public school Is not a Sunday
school, nor a branch of the church,
although historically it is a child of
tbe church. Its aim is neither to
teach religion nor even good citizen
ship, but it does both Indirectly. It
exemplifies the virtues that are at
the heart of good citizenship and
Christianity. A little more than CO
years ago 80 per cent, we are told,
of the cities and towns of Massachu
setts required the use of the Bible as
a reading book. This not tha case to
day; nevertheless, the last word hai
not been said about the Bible and tha
public schools. Good teachers who
are morally sound and loyal to ths
flag- and constitution may do much
for the home and nation in, their
legitimate functions. We have been
pained at times to hear of unsound
teachings and teachers; but fortu
nately their numbers are few. We
look upon the Parent-Teacher asso
ciation as a timely and hopeful or
ganization and I believe we can trust
It to maintain a fine sympathy and
co-operation between the home and
the school and the result will be
the producing of an Intelligent and
loyal class of young 100 per cent pure
Americans.
The Church.
Has the church a place In the na

less question, considering our origin
as a nation and the fact that America
Is Incurably Christian. Still It Is well
to remind ourselves that there are
great masses of our people that are
not In connection with any Christian
institution whatever. Of course we
are not hair-splitting hers in phrase

thinking a great and fine class of

record the fact that there are leas
than 18,000.000 Sunday school children
In tha United States. Some, if not
many, of those In the Sunday schools
are beyond the .usual school age.
There is a discrepancy. Worse still,
there are many adults that have no
church affiliations of any kind. The
secretary of the Portland Federation
of Churches reports that more than
113,000 people in Portland are not to
be found In connection with any
church organization. Portland and
the United States nevertheless are
Christian and dominated and gov
erned by Christian principles. If the
church and its wholesome saving in
fluences were removed from Portland
and tha United States there would be
the greatest panic that tho country
nas ever known. There are soma In
Russia today who look longingly back
to the horns or religious toleration
and freedom. The church, like the
achool, has Its interests in common
with tha home. There could be no
school without homes. There could
be no church without homes, terres
trially speaking, there could be no
nation without homes.
Our contention la this, that the In
terests of the nation, its material. In
tellectual and apirltual progreae are
mightily enhanced and conserved by
the aid of tbe church and that the
Intelligent loyalty of its citizens de
pend largely upon the teachinga and
influences of the church. The more
deeply the teachinga and doctrines of
Jesus Christ are ingrained In tbe life
of a nation the better that nation will
be. Tha finer will be its civilisation,
the more delightful will be its homes,
the mora secure will be life and prop
erty, the richer will be its sympathy
with the unfortunate and the greater
will be Its loyalty and patriotism.
Does the nation depend upon the
church to rise to tbe occasion when
occasion arises? Our memory is short
if we fail to recall how splendidly
the church rose to the aid of the na
tion in the late war. Have we for
gotten how the liberty loans suc
ceeded through the boost of the
church. Is any part of our nation
passing through a crisis? Is it the
Johnstown flood, the Galveston tidal
wave, the San Francisco earthquake,
or floods In Texas that have brought
suffering, sorrow and privation? Who
comes to the rescue if not those Im
bued by the spirit of Him who "went
to him, and bound up his wounds,
pouring In oil and wine, and set him
on his own beast, and brought him
to an Inn. and took care of him. And
on tbe morrow when he departed, he
took out two pence, and gave them

Wireless Chain Will Link
Up British Empire.
First Station of Imperial Servlra
Haa Been Opened.
LONDON, Sept. 18. Postmaster Gen
eral Kellaway has Just opened at
Leafleld, Oxfordshire, the first sta
tion in the imperial wireless chain
which, when completed, will link up
almost every part of the British em
pire. The Leafleld station, which has
been designed entirely by the post
office, will communicate with the
corresponding station at Abu Zabal,
near Cairo. This station Is expected
to be completed In three months. It
also will be used for communication
with Mesopotamia and probably for
broadcasting news to India.
Leafleld and Abu Zabal will form
the first pair of a series of four sta
tions, the third being In East Africa
and the fourth In South Africa.
The first message sent from ths
station, as part of the opening cere
mony, was a message of greeting to
all British and to all European and
other foreign wireless stations
within range. That to British sta
tions expressed the wish that the sta
tion would "help to knit still closer
the bonds which bind together the
different parts of the empire." That
to the other stations concluded with
the wish that the development of
wireless communication "will help to
knit still closer the bonds of unit)
which bind the British" empire to all
other states."
Within half an hour replies wers
received from Malta. Paris, Christi
an la, Posen, Prague, Denmark, Buda
pest, Rome and Berlin.
Mr. Kellaway said In an address
tha't at the Imperial conference great
Interest was taken by Prime Minister
Lloyd George In the possibilities of
wireless telephony. If those possibil
ities could be realized they might yet
have Premier Hughes in Melbourne
talking to Mr. Lloyd George In Down
ing street.
"It sounds like fairyland," aald Mr.
Kellaway enthusiastically. "It will
make the world a great family In a
sense that they never have been
before."

who organized the Red Cross. The
cross la at the very heart of Chris
tianity. Non-Christian nations do
not establish Red Crosses because
they have not the dynamo of Chris
tianity and they have not that spe
cific organization of the church that
sponsors every fine enterprise for
the physical, moral and spiritual wel
fare of society. Is the nation con
cerned with fighting tuberculosis,
that dread disease that thrives in
large cities In darkness, dirt and pov
erty? The church has been the leader
In education for its prevention, for
better ventilation more light and sun
shine in tenement houses. Who has
shown the greatest concern for the
frightful Infant mortality, for the
tragedies of child labor, for parks
and playgrounds, better conditions In
Ltourtrooms in large cities, for chil
dren s courts, for every wholesome,
decent reform that makes for the
welfare of society and the safeguard
ing of children and youth If not the
church?
"The state Is the organization of
humanity to maintain peace and se
cure Justice; it demands patriotism
of every citizen. The school is the
organization of young people for the
acquisition of knowledge. The church
is the organization of immortal souls
for the worship of God as love and
the service of man in love, and It has
a right to ask for loyal support."
The church haa a message to the
hearts of men women and children,
and Is primarily the only Institution
that is gravely concerned with their
spiritual welfare. The wave of
crime, murder, Immorality, gambling,
carousing, thieving and Illicit traffic
in intoxicants and drugs all of
them enemies to society are hatched
and executed in utter defiance
of the teachinga of the Great
Nazarene, the head of the church.
At whatever point society comes
In contact with Jesus Christ, the
Savior of mankind, tbe home, the
school and the nation are thereby
ennobled. Where the principles and
doctrines of the Great Teacher are
lived in the home and exemplified
in the schoolroom, the nation will
not suffer for lack of law-abiding
citizens, actual and la the making.

CHURCH
I believe are atlll faithful to the
Mosaic commands regarding the In
struction of children. Christ came
not to destroy but to fulfill and he
never revoked any obligation on the
part of parents thoroughly to in
struct their children to the best of
their ability. Some of our pleasant
est memories are teachings given and
biblical stories told under the par
ental roof. Including the catachlslng
by the visiting dominie In that Im
mortal digest of our faith, the West
minster catechism. Insanity with Its
frightful toll of crime may come
upon one speedily but the hardened
criminal Is a product and usually of
comparatively slow growth. One
needs not to be deeply versed In psy
chology or loglo to trace much of
that which stares us on the front
pagej of our dally papers to lack
of home training and home Influ
ences of the best tori. If society Is
to be cured of its evils the church of
Jesus Christ must tackle the prob
lem with a new zeal, preach the gos
pel with a conviction that sin Is
black and ugly and hateful and mur
derous and the only remedy for It
Is contact with him who made atone
ment for sin In his death on Calvary.
Men need new hearts, new purposes,
new life. "Ye must be born again"
Is as true today as it was when
spoken to that master of Israel. Nlco
tiemus. In brief tbe church has a
vital mission to society. Whatever
purifies, ennobles, saves society from
Its selfishness and sin confers a boon
on the home, on the school and on
the nation. A good man leavoth an
Inheritance (of character) to his chil
dren's children. Proverbs 13:22;
righteousness exalteth a nation bnt
sin Is a reproach to any people. Prov
erbs 13:34.
lie serves hla country beat
Who lives pur lite and doeth righteous
deed,
Aad walks straight paths, however others
stray ;
And leaves his sons an uttermost bequest
A stainless rscord which all men may
read;
This Is tha better wsy.
No drop but serves the slowly lifting tide;
No dew but bas an errand to aoine ftowr;
Mo smallest star but sheds soma helpful

And man by man, each giving to ail the

power;
There is no better way.
In the words of Edward Everett
Hale, may we conclude: "For our
selves and our country, oh, grariou
God. we thank thee that, notwith
standing our manifold transgressions
of thy holy laws, thou hast continued
toy .marvelous kindness."
