COMMON Commission Merchant QVILSERVICE ' VS SENSE. ' The, Washington Post, under the heading y'Civiu Service vs, Spoils," says: -.. "From every town and hamlet boast ing of a fouth-class post office comes an appeal to the 'members of Congress to overrule the order of President .Taft signed October 15, placing about 33,000 fourth class offices in the classified iirvice. Such appeals "- originate, of course, with the politicians and the fficeseekers, The average, every-day citizen and taxpayer naturally is more anxious to "have the Postoffice Depart ment on a business basis than to have the civil service laws overthrown for the benefit of office9eekers." The duties of fourth-class postmasters are very simple. A fifteen year old boy with ordinary intelligence Tan perform them. The postmasters of all thejfourth-class offices in the country could be changed without taking the Postoffice Department off a business basis, if indeed it is on such a basis.

"When people give me a kind word r two it makes me feel so nice", write Sybil Dean Wilson of the 3B Grade in her Thanksgiving essay. What magic there is about a kind word! s OPUS I Frick Employs i Skilled Musician ' to Play for Him. HOME MISSIONS There is a certain class of people who look down on church folks as one part hypocrites and the rest goody goodies. But the fact of the business is that the church folks are really effective persons in the community in the direction of social betterment and the doctrines they .espouse and seek tected in the same way by kindly speak jng. If more people would take the time to pass "a kind word or two" how much would be added to the sum total of the world's happiness! Busi ness would be much less of a battle than it is and all the relations of life would be sweetened. The testimony of tbia little graded school girl to the Warming, cheering effect of kind words is trulV a word fitly spoken like apples of gold in pictures of silver, WILLIAM AND CHRISTOPHER.

If they will not, we believe they can be retired without im pairing the service, Civil service reform is a good thing but we believe it ought to apply to those positions which require a cer tain amount of special training and not to those which any one with ordinary ntelligence can fill acceptably. Either that or be consistent and put every thr in the other world, can exchange office of emolument under the civil wutual sympathies.

It is equally apparent that in this workaday age unless religion does meet real needs it is aot to lose its hold. Dr. Howard Kelly is leading a great struggle against ice in the city of Baltimore. He is churchman and he is leaning largely on the chruches of the Monumental Citv. "The churches", he said the other day, "must get out of their atti tude of self-content." He added ill ubstance that if they wanted to re tain their hold on the people they had tc fight evil in the concrete as well as in he abstract. Home missions is entensely practtfal. To quote from the literature of the centnl committee of arrangements for Home Mission Week: 'Several of the National Home Mission Boards have long had bureaus of social service and de partments of church and labor, and they have been grappling with social problems in the city and in the country employing experts for the purpose' of making sociological surveys and sug gesting the- most up-to-date methods for meetine' the needs discovered. There are in the employ of these boards men who are regarded as authorities on these subjects, and who are con sulted by the .leaders in social work outside the church. Thin evolution in the thinking of men with regard to the function of the church concerning modern social problems has not caught these home mission agencies napping. any merit in while the composer waa alive Henry Clay Frlck, the tip of his strong fingers joined, listens in silence.
