Monday evening by a number of Conway society folk that room will go the prize picture which is to be presented.. The follow ing were the subjects discussed: "'Lack of Home Preparation in High School Grades," by Miss lna Dawson; "Lack of Home Preparation in Grammar School Grades." by Mrs. Blanche Lewis; "Honesty," by Mrs. Laura Pow ell, and "Courtesy." by Mrs. Verona Uoggarrt. At the close of the discussion of school problems, the president pre sented to the patrons present a plan for the betterment of the physical con dition of the children, in "The Modern Health Crusade." produced under the auspces of the National Anti-Tuberculosis association. This necessitates quite a strenuous daily program on the part of the child, as well as daily vigi lance on the part of the mother, but the patrons present expressed them selves as heartily in favor of it, and it is to be commenced at once. A. very interesting series of lantern slide Kible pictures was shown at the Episcopal church Friday night by Rev. W. P. Noe. The house was full, and the service and pictures were followed with close attention. A union observance of the interde nominational day of prayer held in the Vineland Presbytcriaftjchurch Friday afternoon by the ladies of the various churches. The principal ad dress was by Mrs. L. V. Grady or. for eign missions. As an outgrowth of the address and of the meeting a commu nity plan was suggested and adopted for giving: everybody in town a weekly opoprtunity to contribute to the China famine fund. Welcomed here is Miss Ramie E. Williams, trained nurse, who comes for the purpose of making a free med ical inspection of the throat, ears and teeth of the school children. Later in the year the state board of health will equip a temporary hospital here with a corps of nurses in charge, and will treat school children up to 12 years of age, with a nominal charge to those who can pay, and do th,e work free for those who can not pay. There is a fresh revival of interest among the people in the subject of the . proposed new high school, and it is understood that petitions to the legis lature for authority to issue bonds, are being circulated and are getting many signatures. There will probably be some opposition also, principally on the ground of the expense of the con crete street which is now being laid; but many of the thoughtful citizens feel that the additional taxes will be offset by the great benefit which the children will receive from an up-to-date school building. Brick and lumber are being unload ed and the music of hammer and saw on new buildings being erected is heard, and it is a good sound and one to rejoice over. The three new stores down town are almost completed, and workmen are busy in various parts of town building and repairing homes, and preparing for more building. Judge Cranmer is to return here Monday to preside over a two weeks' term of court. The case of Brown vs. Powell, a suit over boundaries, is to come up on Monday, and is said to be one of the most important cases on the docket.

Virility of Religion Tested by Appll He knows little or history who un dervalues the resources of the past and their contribution to the life of the present, nor do we wish to be guilty of that ingratitude expressed in the line of Lowert. "Thoughts that great hearts broke for, we breathe cheaply in the , common air." But we greatly limit the scope of religious expression when we seek the credentials and assurances- of the Divine only In the life of the past. Just as the faith of the past found its spiritual verities in terms that It knew, so must we seek In the forms of the life of today the assurance or lioa. ane viruiiy oi an religion is to be found in the degree of its application to the ideals and conditions of its times, and just as God spoke convincingly to a past civiliza tion in terms congenial to that ae, so will He speak to us in terms of our ruling opnvictiona. No fact is more indicative of the penury of our faith than the alertness with which we Beek the evidences of the super natural expressed, in miraculous deeds, occurences, and experiences, pointing to these as the supreme credentials of the divine. We demand visible proofs (which are non-spiritual) of spiritual reality. The superinatural, in the de monstration of divine power in the human- realm. Is not -.to be discounted, but equally important i the demon stration of the presence of God and the sacredness of life In terms of to day's life. The deepest convictions of life are taking form in righteousness, law and service; and in these we must find the evidences of the supernatural, realizing that even in the common place the infinite touches our finite life. Unless we can convincingly show God at work in the life oC today, no volume of "supernatural evidences" out of the past can create religious reality. y Men of today are asking for living bread, not crumbs swept up from the past: they are seeking a vital, energizing- faith, not a tradition. In his "Dlvifnity Schiool Address." Emerson made a plea for the reality and fresh ness of faith: "The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face: we through their eyes. Why should not we also etijoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a religion of revelation to us, not the history of theirs? The sun shines today also. There is more wool and flax In the fields." Instead of the abstract terms of the older theology, drawn trom metaphy sios, or logic, or law, men are seeking a more concrete a mere personal ex- Fresslon of Christanity. We must not orget that God has done great thing for our fathers and that "the good old days" were very real, but we must also cherish the faith that God still speaks and promises large things to us. For this we need statements writ ten out of a genuine sympathy with the past, and an intelligent understanding of its contribution to Christian pro gress, but also with a clear under standing of the distinctive needs of our own day, and of the special an swer of Christ to those needs. This calls for insight and foresight. Our Lord's atonement is not simply "a finished work;" It is the divine fire of self-sacrifice which ever renews itself. His life Is nbt a mere memory, but a perennial Ideal "at whose shrine the pilgrim hopes to realize, 'all the beauty of his dreams.
