To credit a,man with good motives is a LONG step toward judg-
ing him with CHARITY. The very fact that a man is met on a high
plane is a POTENT factor in his living up to that plane.
In suggesting that other men shall be credited with honesty and
their views respected there is no thought of intimating that one
should not adhere strongly to his own convictions, but that he should
consider SEPARATELY the man and his ideas.
For one who would, go to a high place there is nothing MORE
necessary and nothing more difficult than capacity to deal with his
fellow men in a FAIR, REASONABLE and CHARITABLE way,
for .this involves capacity to appreciate his point of view.
INTOLERANCE, PASSION, PREJUDICE, IMPUGNING OF MOTIVES,
SHOULD ALL BE ELIMINATED.
ac-
>^t^NE must remember that among ninety-three million people
I of different nationalities there is a wide variation of be-
liefs, methods and early training which shape the child
cordingly.
SINCE OF NECESSITY ONE’S IDEAS AND IDEALS ARE SO
LARGELY A FUNCTION OF HIS ENVIRONMENT ONE NEEDS TO
USE THE WIDEST KNOWLEDGE AND MOST SYMPATHETIC AP-
PRECIATION IN JUDGING OF THE ACTIONS AND PURPOSES OF
C^HERS.

” IIY should a woman lower herself to sordid politics? Why
should a woman leave her home and go into the streets to
r play the game of politics ? Why should she long to come
into contact with men at the polling places? Why should
she long to rub elbows with men who are her inferiors intellectually
and morall y ? Why should a woman long to go into the streets and
leave behind her a happy home, her children, a husband and every-
thing that goes to make up the ideal domestic life ? I think the AV-
ERAGE inan and woman will admit, that it will be difficult to find
REASONABLE answers to these questions.
I am HOSTILE to woman suffrage, always have been and will
continue to be. Some one is always asking me why I oppose woman
suffrage. E am always wondering why they ask me that question. I
have written about the subject for years. I have preached about it,
and I will CONTINUE to urge that nothing be done which will take
woman out of her PROPER SPHERE.
WHEN A WOMAN ENTERS THE POETICAL ARENA SHE GOES
OUTSIDE THE SPHERE FOR WHICH SHE WAS INTENDED. SHE
GAINS NOTHING BY THAT JOURNEY. ON THE OTHER HAND,
SHE LOSE:S THAT EXCLUSIVENESS, RESPECT AND DIGNITY TO
WHICH SHE IS ENTITLED IN HER HOME.
HE WOMAN WHO DOESN’T EARN HER OWN LIVING IS A
g PARASITE. WHEREVER IN THE HISTORY OF A NATION
GIREAT NUMBERS OF ITS WOMEN BECOME PARA-
SITES THAT NATION IS ON THE ROAD TO DOWNFALL
AND DECAY. AMERICA IS, THEREFORE, ON THE ROAD TO DE«
GENERATION UNLESS THE WOMEN OF LEISURE CAN BE AL-
LOWED OR INDUCED TO EXCHANGE THEIR VANITIES FOR HARD
LABOR./
The human female parasite, whether in modern Paris or New
York or in ancient Greece, Rome or Assyria, is the woman who, RE-
LIEVED of manual labor by the prosperity of her class or nation or
by the invention of LABOR SAVING machinery, will trade on her
unused potentialities of motherhood for her support. Unless she can.
or will enter the industrial field of some other line of productive ac-
tivity she has no RIGHT to live on the labors of the male.
The woman of leisure today, like that hothouse specimen so noto-
rious before the downfall of Rome, who seeks madly by pursuit of
PLEASURE to fill the void left by lack of HONORABLE activity,
would be far happier if she had plenty of HARD WORE to do,
and the race would be correspondingly healthier and MORE effi-
cie?'

body of educators met this month In
San Francisco, and as a part of its
business discussed many matters con-
' nected with the science of pedagogy,
among which was one probably of
greater importance than all the others
combined, and that was the moral
character of the pupil. In our anxiety
‘ to keep out of the public schools any-
thing that might prove to be the least
offensive to any of the various reli-
gious sects, we have swung to an ex-
treme, where even morality has be-
come a matter to be handled with ev-
ery delicate consideration, and for fear
that even in this particular one might
overstep the line and Invade the realm
of doctrine, the teaching of morals has
vssumed a negative hue that presents
nothing attractive to the youthful
mind.
The committee appointed by the con-
vention to report on this matter de-
clared that “disregard for law is fast
becoming an American characteristic,"
B.n indictment to which the conscience
can sarely permit us to plead not
guilty. The committee further recom-
fcnended that "certain elementary vir-
tues taust be inculcated in childhood

more attention should be given in the
techools to the development of personal
qualities of probity, moral courage,
fcelf-sacrifice, good citizenship, etc.” to
which the entire country utters a fer-
ment Amen!

Probity has become so rare among
us that when the word is encountered
in print one almost involuntarily
reaches for the dictionary to learn its
meaning, and the other virtues men-
tioned in the report of the committee
have been pushed into the background
by “up-to-dateness, looking-out-for-
number-one, get-there-Johnny,” a line
of modern virtues to which have been
erected many shrines on the road to
success. It has become a popular be-
lief that to possess truthfulness, re-
liability, honesty, steadfastness or rev-
erence, handicaps the individual in
taking part in the race for life. Some
elements of character, be it under-
stood, however, refuse to be classified
as old-fashioned, and among those
to be found probity, moral courage,
good citizenship and not a few others
that have been permitted to become
partially obsolete.

Lesson for July 30 is “The Finding of
the Book of the Law.” II Chron., 34:
14-33.
Traveling through Siberia with a
company of men who know the whole
world, I was struck with the unanim-
ity of their conclusions in two re-
spects—the supremacy of Siberia’s re-
sources over all the other great lands
—Canada, Australia, Argentina and
America’s west—and it’s primary need
of education. It is getting people, for
the government is pouring in peasants
by the myriad, but they are poor peo-
ple without education. There 'are no
books in the rolls of luggage that they
carry with them. Give Siberia an open
Bible, and the education which al-
ways follows in the wake of the Bible,
and you will have : n empire that will
wield an incalculable influence in the
world-affairs of a few generations
hence.
At a railway station in the center of
Siberia there was a man selling Bibles
and in him I seemed to see the great
power of the land tomorrow. The
long-haired and unkempt priests
whom I noticed traveling with the im-
migrants did not make the impression
on me that was made by this man with
the book that makes nations. Religion
is neither permanent nor transform-
ing except as it is a religion based
upon an intelligent knowledge of the
book by the plain people.
Christian missions have failed and
been blotted out, Christianity being
succeeded by heathenism; but never

adopted. There is always something
to do after reading the Bible,
result was a gr'eat assembly of
people was called at the temple, and
the Book was read in their hearing.
The dramatic discovery of this lost
book was rehearsed, and the peopl'e’s
hearts were stirred to self-examina-
tion.
Then, in royal state and with royal
nurpose, King Josiah himself stood up
and made a solemn covenant to obey
the words of the book. He pledged
himself to this as his life work. The
most sacred words he could use were
taken upon his lips, as he mad’e his
vow for himself and for. the nation.
It was a sort of Christian Endeavor
consecration meeting. The pledge led
to performance. Whenever anybody
vitally yields to a religious purpose,
results are bound to follow. And th?
record, full of meaning for the life of
present day nations and individuals,
concludes with the words, “And Josiah
took away ^.ll^the abominations out of
all the countries that pertained to the

were found in Israel to serve, even to
serve the Lord their God. All his

a startling fact in the history of mis-
sions.
THE MOSLEM LAMENT.
The great nations of the earth today
are the Bible nations—those whose
people read and honor the book. That
is a big fact about contemporaneous
history which should be used in the
study of this present lesson upon the
place of the book in the life of Judah.
The greatest of the world powers is
Britain a nation whose king and lead-
ers joined a few weeks ago in cele-
brating the tercentenary of the trans-
lation of the King James version. More
influential than Great Britain in the
life of other nations, yet commonly
rated after her as a world power, is
the United States, which has been de-
clared by its highest judiciary to be a
Christian nation, and whose people buy
more Bibles than they do popular nov-
els. Great and growing greater is
Germany, the land of Martin Luther.
Falling rapidly from her ancient po-
sition among the nations is France,
and there are other than -students of
religious conditions who will attribute
this to the decline of Christianity
among the people. Russia plays no
part in the world at all commensu-
rate with her magnitude and geo-
graphical position, because her people
have not the book, and because her
officialdom has not that righteousness
which exalteth a nation. Japan has
suddenly sprung to a prominent place
in the world, but those who know most
about the nation understand how reli-
gious conditions at home imperil the
nation’s standing abroad. Then there
are the little nations—like Swelden,
Norway and Denmark, which are great
in world influence because their peo-
ple are men and women of the book.
A Scotsman 'in the east was railing
at religion, not long since, declaring
that Christianity had caused most of
the wars of history, that it had begot-
ten a race of hypocrites, and making
a number of the ■ other vague and
foolish statements of the sam’e trend
vogue among per-
more prone to repeat
the latest thing they have heard than
they are to do any solid thinking for
th'emselves. Naturally, I pointed him
to his own land of Scotland,
People may be found In all the remote
places of the earth. That nation is a
nroduct of Christianity, or it is noth-
ing. In a moment my friend had re-
treated from his vague generalizations
as he contemplated the influence of
the Bible upon Scotch character.
This big national look at the subject
is illuminating. When one talks with
Moslems about world affairs, he finds
a curious lament, and source of bitter-
ness, With all his pride and preten-
sions, the Mosl’em is bound to admit
that th’e world today is ruled by the
Christian nations. The lands of the
book are the lands of power. The sin-
gular greatness of the Hebrews

cial revelation from Jehovah.
A YOUNG KING’S GREAT FIND.
Th’e reason we look at the nations
in respect to the Bible is because our
lesson deals with' the romantic discov-
ery of the Book of the Law by Hing
Josiah in his repairs upon the temple
These strang'e finds have a fascination
upon most minds, but especially upon
the minds of youth. At the present
lime there is considerable excitement
in Jerusalem and throughout Turkey
generally, because certain excavators,
digging for the treasures of David, fol-
lowing the lead of a cryptogram in
ancient book, have been accused of
carrying away relics from beneath the

that armed J’esus in His battle with

for the person who is in the great bat-
tle with sin.
While this age can scarcely imagine

time, it may be mor'e easily under-

Infant 'mortality is increasing in Ire-
land, according to a statistical report in
the Lancet, which says:
“During the fifty-two weeks of last
year the proportion of deaths under
one year of age in the twenty-two
town districts of Ireland was equal to
132 a thousand registered births. In
seventy-seven of the largest towns of
England and Wales during the same
period the rate of infant mortality did
not, exceed 115 a thousand births. In
Dublin the rate of infant mortality
was equal to 142 a thousand, while in
London it did not exceed 103. Even in
the sixteen smallest Irish towns, each
of which has a population below 15,000,
the mean rate of infant mortality was
equal to 106 a thousand, exceeding the
rate in London, with an estimated pop-
ulation little short of 5,000,000, by
