to the' stricken world .universal peace and t happiness here, to
say nothing of any future state of existence.
The need of today; will not.be met by a general creed or
sectarian revival ; nor j by a quickening of the old belief; in
Ihe fires of a future, literal hell; that await the sinner in the
world to come; nor by.'-. any appeal to fear or the selfish desire
for insurance against Jhe consequences of the sinful lifei and
conduct. No eld or new spiritual scare-crows will help to
solve the greatest problems of humanity today. The present,
paramount need. of the. world is that men should have the re
ligion of Jesus as taught and exemplified in the Gospels- not
a mere belief in it, lmta more general incorporation in the in
dividual life and character of the spirit and precepts of God.
' ; . I - . .
Instead of God being far away, men must be brought to
a conclusion that God is near to them, that lie is even in
them, "in their mouths and in their hearts'; that He has not
only created us and the world,: and is to rule in a far-away
heaven, but that when If is Spirit rules 'our lives He will bring
this heaven to us here that HisJ laws! over and in us are so
perfect and certain, so all-embracing and self-executing, that
to obey them brings certain happinessj enlightenment, nobility
and beauty of character, success, harmony and peace here,
while to disobey or ignore them just as surely brings suffer
ing sacrifice, unhappiness, failure, inharmbny and hell here
as well as hereafter. . -i
No far-away Christ is to save the world from its sins and
the sufferings t and unhappiness resulting therefrom. The
Savior of men is He who is now; as always, knocking at the
door of the individual human heart, and whose spirit will be
come the 4 God in our flesh" whenever we make a place for
Him. Does He not say, "Behold" I stand at the door and
knock; if any man hear my voice, arid open-unto me, I will
come in to him and sup with him and he-with. me''?
This, then,-is the task of the .Christian ehurcfi and of all
followers Of Christ: To bring to all men the knowledge, not of
a dead Jesus, but of this living Christ. Yes; moi-e, to strive
daily to make this living Savior more and more of a reality in
our lives and help others to love and worship and walk with
Him and the ever-present, living God, yho if we 'do this will
become day by day more. real to us as a present help, a light
to our eyes, a guide to our feet, the chief est blessing in our
lives, and the faithful rewarder of all them that thus come to
know and serve Him. I i ! "
In the presence of this divine task, should not every
thing be swept aside that stands in the way of its- complete
and perfect accomplishment? . Sectarian differences are but
the results of imperfect knowledge of divine truth. If "He,
the Spirit of Truth,' had-really come into the hearts of
Christendom and "led them into all truth," all would under
stand spiritual tru th""r alike. : Instead, therefore, of quarreling
about sectarian differences, why is it not the part of wisdom to
forget or ignore them, and all unite whole-heartedly in helping
to make the world truly Christian by manifesting nis Spirit, ac
tually living the golden rule and exemplifying His life of love
and service to men? What one thinks or believes about any dog
ma or formula is of very little importance compared with the
necessities of changing his own life and helping his brothers of
humanity to change theirs so as to conform to His" teachings
and life. . -';;j.r. f -.pi . - '.' ; -a . '
Are not these things the very soul of His message to the
world as revealed in the Gospels!
I " . i J i ' ;- "
Unless the men of the world can be brought to a true
realization of thjese fundamental: truths of the New Testament
andean have thieir spirits quickened enough to make them
strive to be loyal to them, not only in Words, but in very life
and deed, the world will continue tp be torn by strife and wars,
suffering, darkness and sin will continue to be the pitiful por
tion of the great ma joritjjfjtf the race.
Therefore let those? who have risen to a breadth of vision
that enables them to see -wherein the Christianity of, the past
hag failed -not be disheartened j by the .-religious indifference
and spiritual death they see around them. Rather let them, like
St. Paul, ; "Forget those things; that- lie behind and remember
those , things that ; are before and press forward toward the
mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Let thein
continue to strive for still larger and truer vision, for a mor6
quickened spirit, for more faith: in the God, the Christ of today,
and for a more perfect manifestation of that faith and the'real
THE1 GREAT NEED FOR RELIGION
righle
" J ..Br. J . W I : . 1
There was never k time in the life of this country, or I in
deed 'in the life of thej world, when there was greater need) of
religion than there is fight now. The great need of today is
the same as the need of the past; it is a need that can be met
only by a religion that1 transforms the i individual life, that sub
titutes for the brutality; ordidness,ranimality and Ijarlgeiy 6f
the primitive, the natural man, the domination , of the higher,
diviner elements that are capable of- development in him. An
animating love that shall supplant hate a,nd bitterness; a per
sonal righteousness that wilrdestroy immorality and impurity ;
a practical honesty and justice in all the relations of men that
shall take the place of sordidness, selfishness and brutality that
still characterize so large a proportion of ; the human raee
these and other similar transformations' are I what will bring

Many stories are told ' of the
queer things cyclones do,' but the
queerest I know happened when
we were living out in . Kansas,
There had been a terrible wind
storm but luckily we had escaped
any damage. Then the story wa
orer and the cyclone gone as
quickly as it had come Sudden
ly there was a. gentle rap at the
side koor. At first. I did not go,
thinking it was still the wind, but
when the rap wus repeated I1 ran
to open v the door, ; 1. , '. jf: :
A little girl Jof about six. I
should -say, with curly yellow hair
and blue eyes, stood at the door.
VHow do you do," 'she jald.
am Nancy." - , : ! '
I couldn't .remember eyer hav
ing seen her before. She was not
one of my. neighbors. . But surely
she couldn't hare come far just
since the "story. "Oh, I'm. glad
to know ybu, Nancy J I stammer

nected to' sar something.' "Won't
ybu come int" r v: ,v ii
"Thank you, : replied Nancy.
She stepped across the threshold
and looked at me Intently. "Are
you a fairy?" she asked.; : !
I gasped. There was something
Tery queer about this beautiful
little girl. I "Where did you come
from"' I replied, "ignoring :her
question. ;? I .. '
"The fairies brought TOeere."
she smiled up at me, for all the
world like a little fairy herself.
nut are you a fairy?" she per
sisted. " . ; . 4 f - -
"No." I had to admit. "I'm not.
Tell me how the fairies brought
you here." .. .
"I thought you were too big,"
she sighedJ "I wanted to go to
fairyland. 1 I wished and wished
they .would take me there, and
then i this . morning . when I was
playing out in my playhouse the
fairies picked.' me up and carried
me through the air See! v
I looked out the window where
she was pointing a"nd there in our
back yard stood a tiny green and
white house-. I wondered what 1
had eaten for lunch to make me
imagine such queer things, but
when I remembered that all I had
was bread and Jelly I decided I
must be dreaming. .
JJust then the telephone rang.

In reporting the talk of C. F.

before the realtors Ion Thursday,
the reporter of The Statesman was
made to say by the 'proof, reader
that the ' sulphur ( dioxide gas.
which Is the gas given off in the
manufacture of sulphite under the
process employed here, "is -injur
ious .to health." What the re
porter wrote was that Mr. Beyerl
-aid it "is NOT i injurious to
health." He added that this gas
has been employed for many years
in medicine as a cleansing agent,
so most readers no doubt saw the
evident misquotation the typo
graphical error; or' rather the
proof reader's errorC The fact Is,
there are few typographical er
rors in either newspapers or
books. They are generally so re
garded; but they ate mostly er

There should be no typographical

BRIXGIXO A XAHON TO
CHURCH i
A new movement to call the in
different and ' unconvinced to
church attendance, starting from
Nyaek. New York, a small town in
the Hudson valley, ' Is ) sweeping
the United States and, like a new
broom, it promises to sweep clean.
In scope; ' and :. method the
Nyack movement differs entire
ly from ' any ' church drive!
ever before1 Instituted. It is
neither the clergy npr fhe church
es take any part In ft. The work
is carried on entirely by v those
who, for various . reasons, have
stayed outside church - organiza
tions and who have been furn
ished with- a noyelargument for
doing so no longer! ' J
The idea, , behind the Nyack
movement Is briefly, this: that re
ligion 1 a j personal relationship
with God, that the, main who fails
to support the church is falllng to
do his duty to the community and
that the church is ot vital im
portance to the nation.
On these j fundamental princi
ples a campaign started . '.
And at the first mass meeting
called at Nyack there were pres
ent two. bank' presidents, the fire
chief, the labor -union heads, mer
chants and commuters, .in fact,
the usual mixed cr,owd one finds at
a political pow-wow. V
Dogma and doctrine and: creed
were not considered. Facts as to
the practical good the" churches
were doing apart ! from their

fore the assembly, j - '
