redeemed in an uncertain and shadowy future. They "are
demanding the real substance of religion here and now or they 1
will have -none of it. And this attitude is not wholly unreas-i
onable. The God who numbers the : hairs of our heads and
notes the sparrow's fall and who holds the infinite universe
in his hand not only can show II Li power in our transformed
lves, but He will do so 11 we fathfully perform the part that
He has assigned to us in order that He may, under the laws
He has established, manifest His love and spiritual power in
us and through us. If we have no transformed lives and
manifest no spiritual power, no spirit of Christ and do no
works different in kind from our unregenerate neighbor, the
world is entirely justified in declaring that the Spirit of God
is not dominant in us and that we are none of His.
And a so-called spiritual power which does not result
in anything practical or substantial, but spends itself in words,
a a ... a .
However eloquent, win not meet tnis rising demand for reality
in religion. The Christianity, preached and lived by Jesus and
His disciples, as recorded in the New Testament, not only
purified smd redeemed the soul, but it healed the body, it
helped in r providing food and raiment and every legitimate
material want ; met every need. It worked by a faith which
is not a 'mere belief but a spiritual power. This is the Scriptural
religion, and this is the. religion that the future must develop

McSwiney, the Irish patriot, by his voluntary martyrdom
m-v nnt hare hroneht the independence of Ireland appreciably
nearer." Although he aroused the interest and the sympathy
of the entire world for nun and nis cause, u is iiey uwi uv
practical nolitical effect will result from Lis tragic aeam.
But McSwiney may hive done the world a great service never
theless. .The spectacle of a man voluntarily and deliberately
lnvintr down his life for a cause, for an ideal, with a reliance
, upon and a. trust in God that for many weary creeks never for
an instant wavered, is a spectacle that in these days of feeble
relifriona convictions is very inspiring. .
Men, spurred on by patrotism in the excitement and heat
of conflict, have often sacrificed themselves upon the altar of
their country or given up their lives for a cause dear to tnem
Men and women in numerous other ways have died exemplify
in the hiehest dualities 6l human nature, but very few, if any
have matched the dramatic death of this Irish, patriot,: who,
with a calm and sublime trust quietly and voluntarily opened
the portals of eternity. God and immortality must have meant
something more to him than a hope or a dream or a Dene;
they must have been a reality to . him. jjf his death accom
plished nothing for Ireland, MacSwiney.may have done a price
less religious service to the world by exciting the interest and
arousing the religious sensibilities of the thoughtless 7 and
indifferent as no words could do. ! ,
In these days one hears less atheism avowed than a gen
eration ago, but there is a prevalence of agnosticism among
all classes. Although a man seldom can be found who will
positively : and confidently 'deny the existence of God,' those
who aver that they do not know, that they have no evidence
that there is such a being are all too numerous; while the
number of those who really know there is a God because they
have come into real, personal relations with Hinv because He
has answered their prayers, transformed their lives, helped
them in times of distress and trouble, and blessed them as only
He can bless, is pitifully small.
'S ' .i ... '. ' !
This is an intensely practical and matter of fact age.
People are no, longer satisfied to take the ipse dixit of the
church or of religious leaders' about God and the great prob
lems of the ages. To read in the Scriptures of the great and
wonderful works of the " Creator in the past does not bring
unquestioning conviction to. most men and women, of this
day. Even when. this is reinforced by some knowledge of the
wonderful physical universe and the natural laws established
over and in it, evidencing a. power, and wisdom far, beyond
anything human, they are still asking for a demonstration
that God is and that He not only directs the physical universe,
but that He rules in the- affairs of men, controlling the destinies
of nations and of the individuals composing them. -
Those interested in religion would do well to recognize
this modern spirit and to understand that it is becoming very
widespread in fact, that it quite generally permeates all
classes. This spirit can not be destroyed by decrying and
denouncing it, nor by appealing to blind faith without sus
taining experience orr evidence, It can not -Je satisfied by
references to the distant past, .nor by pointing to glowing
promises for the future. It is demanding some evidence now.
It wants some demonstration of reality in. the present some
tangible proof of the providence of God and the verities- of
Christianity and religion. And is not this demand quite natural
and reasonable ! Should not all religious organizations be
making strenuous efforts to meet and satisfy it! :.Jt ,
And such a demand for the tangible results of religion is
justified by the New Testament itself, which promises the gift
of great power and wisdom to those who become His disciples
and keep His commandments.' Jesus and His disciples and
apostles preached more by deeds and works and spiritual power
than by, words; and they not only promised those to whom
they brought the gospel the same power and ability to do
these : works, but they really baptized them with the same
.spirit with which they had been baptized, enabling them to
"speak with tongues," and to do the other works of the
spirit. What wonder, then, if many in this day are reverently
asKing "vnat sign showest Thou that we may see and believe
ineei"

Earl Race, city recorder, a long
time ago constituted himself an
employment agency just because
be saw the; need, and there was
no one else to do the work. He
has, done It absolutely without
pay, and he has'done it well. He
has found . work for thousands.
His promptness last summer
helped sare the valuable flax
crop. lie sent men out in gangs
to help pull the flax. The same
lately with the onion' crop. - All
this is said because Mr. Race de
serves it, and a great deal more;
and It is said, too, to call atten
tion to the great need of a better
equipment for the work. ,: Mr.
Race ought to be paid, by some
one. He should hare registers to
keep the names of people needing
workers. And registers to keep
the names and addresses of peo
ple needing employment. : There

There are thousands of ' things
needing to be done .on the farms,
and in the cityr too. There has
been a labor shortage. Now that
there Is a prospect of ' a: surplus,
this surplus ought to be taken
care of. and used. It will thus be
turned into an asset, and a ralu
able one. And the dictates of
humanity will be serred. besides.
Hare you a suggestion? How
shall it be arranged? There has
been much talk but while oth
ers hare talked, Mr. Race has

The trolley lines must adopt
modern, adyertising methods in
order to maintain and extend
their business. That was the con
clusion reached at the conrention
of the American Electric Railway
association. Nobody , lores the
street car company, and now that
the average family has a Llxxie,
the folks who take to the trolley
for pleasure are few. The traffic
companies' are not making any
money. They hare stopped pay
ing dirldends and it is necessary
to do something toget back Into
popular favor. In other lines
much is accomplished by shrewd
advertising and the trolley com

will be serving lunch and refresh
ments for passengers, who spend
tie day vitb them. The po nts
oi j merest iiong the line will be
exploited and a barker with a
megaphone vlll be carried for tne
entertainment of the tourists.
There's a chance for the trolleys
yet. Exchange. '
All of the above. fits Salem con
ditions, excepting the statement
that nobody lores the street car
company. ,
Ererybody in Salem does lore
the street car company; because,
as The tSatesman has said be
fore, Salem has the best street
railway system in the world "for
a city of Salem's site; and It Js
kept np to date as to repairs and
it is well manages, and all the
men connected , with -it are gentle
men, and faithful to duty and ac
commodating to the public '
And there has been no talk of
raising the fare.
It is S cents, as of old. '. .
The Southern Pacific Interests
own the Salem street railway sys
tem, and they cannot be making
any money; buf they no doubt
hare hope and perhaps they can
afford to wait.
The people of Salem hope they
may soon get aronnd to the point
of extending the Salem lines out

Impossible such a discovery may

The majority of people, scram

time to devote to matter of this
kind. They hare to leare scien

some private means or who hare
"angels" to keep them, in food
and clothing while they conduct
their experiments. Therefore
when they read of promised mar
rels they shrug their shoulders,
and if they are. Americans they
declare they are from Missouri.
Yet the scientists are actually
talking about something which
will make the world practically
independent of coal and petro
