hold in it. Bishop William M. Bell

mandates," said Bishop Bell. "The
home is in deadly default when it
omits real educational work. To
look into the love-lit faces of godly
intelligent and devoted parents is
the finest university the child may
ever know.
"The church and the school touch
the race after the home has had the
first chance, so that rnnri .
as they are, they can never entirely

highest nurture of the home is the
imperative in the life of every child.

The work of the home cannot be

Sunday School Council Is
Held Mighty Factor.
Pastor Sees In International Body
Powerful Force for Good.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 1. The
representative form of organi
zation of the International Sunday
School of Religious Education makes
possible "the -mightiest co-operation
Jn practical measures in the history
of. North American Protestantism,"
Rev. Rufus W. Miller of Philadel
phia, secretary of the board of Sun
day schools and publications of the
Reformed Church, United States,
told the convention of the Interna
tional Sunday School association
here Wednesday. "This council has
come," Dr. Miller continued, "at a
time when by co-operation can a
national system of religious educa
tion paralleling the public school
system be possible. The goal is
worth every sacrifice.
"At the door of the child's heart
and bidding the youth godspeed all
the denominations should stand to
gether. "Building together has been the
dominant note of this great con
vention. It means for the next four
years, to phrase it alliteratlvely,
'The challenge of co-operation, of
confidence, of cash; and a challenge
tor the family circle, tor the com-
munity, for the child and for Christ
and the church;'
"We exist for the community and
not the community for us. The evi
dence of the last few years proves
conclusively that communities can
get together and do splendid work
as co-operating churches of the
community, in the establishment of
the community training school the
vocation Bible school and the week
day religious school. One of our
great objectives must be the de
velopment of religious education
for the whole community and not
for its isolated units. This is true
because a child is the supreme ob
ject of our endeavor, and all the
children of a community can alone
be reached by united endeavor.
"It is not possible in any other
form of church work, for all the
denominations to hold together as
closely as they can in efforts in
behalf of the children."

SMALL-SCALE APIARY GOOD
INVESTMENT, SAYS BEE MAN
M. A. Williams, Portland Honey Producer, Declares Bees Pay and
Especially Benefit Fruit Growers.
j(tEE authorities have latelyj
t-i been going to great pains
- to warn persons interested j
in bee culture against the small bee
farm," said M. A'. Williams, Portland
honey producer, in an interview at
Ascot Acres, on the Mount Hood
line, "and I feel that in advising
against a small apiary as an avoca
tion they have not told the whole
truth. To depend solely on a small
colony of bees for a living certainly
would not be wise, but enthusiastic
and judicious management of a
small apiary, as a side line, could
not fail to be both a welcome source
of revenue and a very real pleas
ure." Mr." Williams has no idea of
monopolizing so good a thing as the
honey trade. While railroading is
his main vocation, he so enjoys his
bees that he intends soon to devote
all his time to tlem, and advises
others to do likewise. He finds
pleasure not only in the work itself
but in the benefit his fruit and
berry growing neighbors derive
from his pollen-iaden messengers.
Bees Benefit Fruit Men.
"Since bee culture is by no means
general and since bees greatly la
crease the fruit yield of a given
vicinity, I would strongly urge fruit
growers to engage in the business
on at least a small scale." he said.
"If bee authorities would more spe
cifically indicate the profits of the
small ajJiary and so encourage the
raising of small colonies of bees,
fruit growing would receive a
strong stimulus." ,
Mr. Williams expects an average
of 300 pounds of honey per colony
this year, if his bees do as well the
latter half of the season as they
have done the first half, and as he
generally retails all his honey at 20
cents a pound, his many colonies
scattered far and wide on the out
skirts of Portland should make his
enterprise a paying one. Taking
Mr. Williams' figures as a basis, a
cordial invitation is extended to aM,
irrespective of denominational af
filiations. Rev. R. T. T. Hicks, formerly dean
of St. Stephen's pro-cathedral, this
city, will preach today at the church
of the Good Shepherd, Graham and
Vancouver avenues. There will
no night service.
The services at St. Davids today
will commemorate two great events,
the signing of the Magna Chart
707 years ago, and the signing of
the Declaration of Independence
146 years ago. The rector, the Rev.
Thomas Jenkins, will preach at the
11 o'clock service on "A Challenge
From Magna Charta," and In the
evening, "A Challenge From Decla
ration of Independence." Some of
the very plainest provisions in thesa
two documents are today in peril.

through a bad siege of disease
among his bees, but came out tri
