ODAY [NicmRKER^ XKBRID6E RMONS .... too many .'he . Rev. F'rederick S. Fleming, ctor of Trinity Church, New rk, America’s wealthiest parish, iposed the other day that the irches should declare a morato- m on preaching. “Tliiere are too ,ny sermo,ns,” he said, “and they : usually the least important and cresting part of the church . ■vice.” j ' am inclined to think that Dr. j iming^s rig’ht. 1 have beeu listen- j ; to sesjmons all my life and the | illy interesting and vital o,nes that have heard 1 could count on my j igers and toes. Dr. Fleming thinks | It the sermon is a survival from ; e old days when few people could | ad and that it has na place in )dern religious observances. j I believe a sermonle»s church , rvice could draw much larger ngregations and be more inspir- g than most of the present day rvices are. Preachers, like every- idy else, should talk only when ey have something of consequence say. OUTH .... idon’t lecture Another point which Dr. Fleming ade in ;his annual report is that lurches [generally are ,not handling e problem of youth intelligently ■ effectively. “The Christian re- Higiilands School Theatre , FRl.-SAT., AUG. 21-22 DICK FORAN iln “TREACHERY RIDES THE RANGE” ligion,” he says, “needs a youth movement.” “Youth is not afraid of religion,” he says, “nor is it indifferent. But it hates sham .and unreality.” ,1 have been keenly interested in observing the reactions of a con siderable group of young people toward the churches and I think that Dr. Fleming is right in this. The first obligation of the church is unquestionably to the young ])Cople, and the churches that 1 k»ow of which are discharging that obligation the most effectively are those which encocrage youth to de velop and utilize its own energy and intelligence—and don’t lecture them about it. SKIING Jufly 29th A friend of mine has just sent me a photograph of his young son, taken o,n the 29th of July. The in teresting thing about the picture is that the boy is sliding downhill on skiis on snow that appears to be several feet deep. The picture was taken on Alt. Baker, Washington. Aly friend and his son have been exploring the Sunmier skiing possibilities of the Northwest, and report that Air. Baker, Alt. Rainier and Alt. Hood offer finer sport than is to be found in Austrian Tyrol, where many Americans go for Winter sports in the Summer. Here, it seems to me, is a pos sibility for the development of an unto.uched American resource .anc the .building up of a new tourist in- (lustry in this country. SAFETY champions Among the motorists who will converge on New York on August 31 to take part in the highway safety tourney, sponsored by the C I Safety Foundation, is ooe man' who has driven more than 1000,000 miles without a fngle ac cident.

A number of children and some older people in this section have been plagued recently with flu- colds. Airs. G. D. Peek, of Waynesville, spent Saturday night with her brother.

A friendly dog swam after him, playfully tried to scramble up on the boy’s back, and the boy was drowned. There was no evidence whatever that the dog was vicious. He was doing just what any dog, used to playing with boys, might have done. What makes the whole affair so silly is that otherwise sensible people acted as if a dog were a re sponsible human being. The notion that animals have human attributes, think human thoughts or act from human motives is a popular and widely-held absurdity, fostered by tales of the “bed-time story” type. Sometimes 1 think that most people never grow up.
