Church Is Its most traditional
function. Since cnrllest times man
has felt his Inability to copo with
his surrounding without tho assist
ance and counsel of something su
known, but Confucianism Is not bare
morality. In his teaching, Confucius
mado use of tho religious motive. On
'the golden stntutc on the beautiful
Temple of Light woro inscribed these
words, "When you speak, when you
act, when you think, you uoom
alone, unseen, unheard, but tho
spirits are witnesses of all." This Is

Likewise, wo find In cacli case,
men whoso business It wns to ad

men. This cnlllug which later de
velops into tho profession known
as tho clergy, has among tho ma
jority of people.?, historically con
sidered,, been given tho highest
place among professions and occu
pations. Porhnps this fact, togeth
er with the nuturo of tho duties
connected with such it vocation, has
served to placo religion and things

Although formerly religion with

that religion must ho the religion of

of making right choices. Tho first

Court tennis Is the oldest game of
ball that we have that Is to say. It
goes back further in its present form
than tiny other. Unincs of ball of sonio
kind go back so far tlmt there Is no
trace of their beginning. In their sim
plest form the ball was thrown from
one man to another, If we carry the
process one step further nnd Imagine
tho ball, or whatever .stood In Its place,
to bo hit buck with the hand Instead
of being caught and thrown we havo
nt once handball, the original of all
games like tennis, racket, etc. Indeed,
the French mimo for tennis remains
paiimo to this day because the ball was
struck with tho palm of tho hand.
Times want auibring"roBUlta.
f
human llfo, It has always laid
claim to morality. With every re-ktr0 (l tmiuncu between tho two.
Thus wo havo tried to show that
rollglon and ethics nro inseparable,
that tho highest attainments along
moral lines can not ho reached unless
religion furnishes the motivo, sots
the standard, and dlssomlnatcs ;
knowledge. As tho church In Its j
broadest sense, Is tho only exponent
ot religion the functions of, nml tho
nocesslty of, tho church Is obvious.
In tho history of our own country,
tho morality of any community has
varied directly as tho standing of tho
church In that community. Tho
whola lives of the Puritan colonists
centered about tho church, and a
Hlrlcter rodo of morals than theirs
would bo hard to find. I wonder If
I your pnpor nbout making MnrBli-leorlty, were not Immoral acts. Tho
field a "City Iloautlful," and I .Hebrew patriarchs of old were sln-fwo had gone Into one of thoso .t
'ngroo with Tho Times that It should
'and can bo douo. One thing that
would help Is flower giirdoua or
lawntf. A garden not only beaut If Ion
but adds to tho value of a homo, and
attractive houeou bring nlnioU as
many people to a town ns good busi
ness doe. Ouo does not need nu
olnbornto garden, but n Bimplo lawn.
Hint Is easily planted and cared for.
Thou thoro should he "clunu-up
coroly religious and moral men,
I, hi Hiidr morals, if liractlcod to-
tloniouts of "moonshiners lu tho
early days of Kentucky or Tonnes-1
day, would placo them lu prison 'bo wo should have found any church j
lu abort order. Yet our model n
system of ethical law Is foundod
upon u code of laws established by
tho HohrowH and known to us as
tho ten (011111111111111101118. Thus wo
noo that Btaiidnrdu of morals am
continually shirting and changing.
Mnrnlltv has always been the
Uaya" whon all tha old rubbish t.onm,rtiK ulc hctwoen tho snerod
about ompty houses, and vacant lotsl,,,,,, ,,, .......la- That Is. t.-.o Biilr-
Bhould bo cleaned up. llulldliiKs that I ,(llU ,uu rmwX0 other phases of
nro old ami shaky should bu torn
down, and uunocoMiary shoiU should
also ho done away with.
Another thing that would beautify
Mnrshflold Is a park. Other towns
tha size of this city haw parks and
with tho co-operation of tho citizens
a park could oaslly he made. Mnrsn
Hold Is attractively ultuatod and could
'easily ho made tho "(iardou City of
Coos Hay," but nothing can bo douo
jVlthout tho help of (he eltUoim or
Mnrshflcld,
So pooplo of .Mnrshflold do your
best to imikjL MurshlTold a "CltV
.Beautiful" and the ploasuie this
brings will bo Its own reward.

accompanying eodo .if morals. In
this way a religion has either orv
tul to hmiutiry or muko uioio miser
able tho lives of Its followers. In
this manner morality becomes the
Instrument of religion ami a en-
nt all.
And so today tho status of the'
church, tho number of members, ate. '
uro, to a largo degree, a ineasuro of '
tho general moral tono of a placo. I
Knowing that tho church plays
such an Important part In tho moral
conditions of a community, tho proh
lom immediately borore us Is, how
can wo ns a church organization hot-
'tor equip ourselvos to moot tho moral
needs of tho community? Tho moral
or spiritual Influence that a church i
exerts Is more than tho sum of tho
moral mid spirit mil luriuoncd or its
inoinbors. lu the first place, then,
monibers must strive thru tho
assistance of their religious teach-
Tuxedo, Nights
byXWaltlMason
When the day's work's doncan- the good "old sun
has sunk in the well known West, then I stretch my
form by the fireside warm, I sit at my ease and rest.
Then I take my pipe which is mildly ripe, as the pipes
of good smokers are, with a chortling soul then I fill ?
its bowl from my glass Tuxedo jar. j And I smoke at
ease, and my trouble flees to
the place where dead troubles
go; and my vorric3 seem, in
my waking dream no longer to v
have a show. Jr And I say, "In- '
deed, it's a noble weed that
drives all the ghosts away, and
clamps the lid on the cares
that skid around through the
busy day. The worries and
woes and such things as those -
in the daytime leave their scar, but there's rest at
night and a calm delight in my
glass Tuxedo jar." tfafi&X
