"If we are going to restore religious

family and the church and not through
the public school.'
Blshoo Greer said:
T believe earnestly that something
must be done and I am satisfied it
must be done soon. Just what It is
going to be I do not know. Not much

Its few minutes and great numbers
will be done. The problem is import
ant and the necessity urgent The
problem Is to get more religion to the
mind and personality of the child.
The Church Club will probably take
the matter up through Its trustees or

CHAMBERLAIN LOSES MEMORY.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20. A London
dispatch to the Sun says the long re
tirement of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain
owing to gout and other ailments, has
led to constant assertions and con
tradlcltlons regarding the gravity of
his condition. The Chronicle states
that he greatly overtaxed his strength
at the celebrations In honor of his
seventieth birthday at Birmingham,
with the result that he lost his mem
ory completely. The past was a blank
to him and he could not remember
what had taken place even a few
hours before, and although his other
faculties were ana are injured, h!
memory Is gone.
