RICH ESTATES.
Recently in Oklahoma the
greatest philanthropist that the
state has ever known died and
left behind him one of the rich-
est estates of any man in the
state.
This man left behind him the
memory of one of the finest
lives any man ever lived save
the Man of Nazareth.
It was the result of a com-
pact with God a promise made
in Seattle when the multi-millionaire
was a penniless youth
wih $1.15 in his pocket and no
prospect of getting more.
A group of Salvation Armv
workers were singing and talk-
ing at the curb. One of the
lasses approached this youth
and asked for a donation.
"I have only $1.15 and that
is all" he told her.
"Give a tenth" she suggest-
ed. "It belongs to God."
So the youth gave her the
fifteen cents and then and there
gave his word to God that he
would give one-tenth of all he
might make to the work of the
Lord.
That man later came to Okla-
homa and dug for oil- He
found it.
He searched in the mountains
for gold and precious minerals
he found them.
And all this time one-tenth
of all his wealth went to God
and His work.
There are in an hundred
country towns enough wealth
on the membership rolls of
country churches that would
permanently support those very
churches if one-tenth were giv-
en to God.
Without exception we feel
safe in saying a man or a wo-
man who gives one-tenth of
their income to the Lord will be
blessed with greater returns.
Too many personal instances
can be cited for the successful
refutation of this statement.
It is an investment that will
pay greater returns than any
earthly stocks.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Recent government statistics
show a great increase in the
number of young people who are
taking vocational education.
Back in 1918 only 164000
were taking such courses but
last year there were 884000 of
tnem.
A great number of young peo-
ple want lines of study directly
bearing on the work they want
to do. A large part of them are
taking agricultural courses and
very many are studying for cler
ical and business cahngs. As a
whole the young people are go-
ing to work with an improved
knowledge of the job which they
first take hold of.
Advocates of broad ideas in
education may say that many of
these young people have put
time into special preparation for
some line of work which ought
to have gone into their general
development os that their gen-
eral intelligence is not so good
as formerly.
Many of these students did
not have much liking for book
knowledge. White they were
being given lessons in Latin and
algebra and history which did
not seem interesting to them
and which they grasped with
some difficulty they often spent
their time in fooling. But when
they were given some plainer
and more practical course they
could see the benefit of it and
they put their whole minds on
learning these studies well. It
is no doubt to learn a simple
thing well than to fool around
in trying after some bigger aim.
The man who nasses your
shop windows is going some-
where. He is oh some other er-
rand. If you want to catch him
when he is not in a hurry put
your shop window in a news-
paper a few articles at a time.
You can make six or eight
thousand people look at this
kind of window every week
and with much better selling
results than if eight thousand
walked by your store one by
one. Exchange.

APPLIED CHRISTIANITY
A distinguished Episcopal pre-
late was walking along the side-
walk from his hotel toward a
magnificient cathedral he was
to dedicate that Sunday morn-
ing in the name of the Man of
Galilee who had trod the paths
of men in the long ago.
The morning was glorious.
From the deep blue sky wash-
ed clean by the recent rain the
sun sinned in wondrous glory of
glad springtime. The birds
twittered the flowers smiled
and al learth seemed to be cloth-
.ed in transcendent beauty. As
the good Bishop slowly walked
along his way he was subcon-
sciously impressed with the
splendor of the hour but his
soul was absorbed with the mes-
sage revolving through his mind
that he was to deliver to the ea-
ger expectant congregation in
a few minutes.
So absorbed was the Bishop
he failed to notice a drooping
figure sitting on the edge of the
sidewalk until he had taken
several steps past it when he
was attracted by a sob. He
paused looked around and be-
held a young woman sitting on
the curbing with a baby in her
arms. So torn with grief was
this pitiful creature she was un-
mindful of the presence of the
Bishop until his kindly voice
soothed her anguish. "Is there
something I can do for you my
child?" asked the Bishop .in
fatherly tones. Drawing the
baby closer to her throbbing
breast she turned her tear-
stained face pinched with pain
up to the Bishop and sobbed
into his sympathetic ear "They
are coming in a few minutes to
take my baby away. I know I
have done wrong but I want to
do right if they would only give
me a chance. Oh why don't
you rich people provide some
way for us mothers to keep our
babies and care for them and
give us a chance to undo the
sin of our lives?"
The good man brushed a tear
from his eye bent over the lit-
tle mother and said: "Come
go with me." .His voice was so
gentle his face was so kind the
little mother trusted him and
arose with his assistance and
they passed along the sidewalk
toward the great edifice that
would have awed her with its
massiveness had not this strong
man been by her side. Enter-
ing the cathedral the Bishop led
her to a seat and taking the
baby in his strong arms strode
down the aisle and paused in
front of the baptismal fount
then turned to face the sur-
prised and startled congrega-
gation. In an even firm voice he be-
gan "We have assembled here
today to dedicate this magnifi-
cent gift of vour love and devo-
tion to God in the name of
Christ the Friend of Sinners
but before doing so I have a
brief message to deliver. This
baby in my arms is an inno-
cent helpless bit of humanity.
Its little mother sitting in the
back of our church has broken
some of our conventional laws
as well as the law of God but
says she is sorry and wants a
chance to keep her baby and do
right in the future. I never
saw her until a few minutes ago
when I found her weeping on
the sidewalk. We are here to
dedicate this building. When
this congregation places in my
hands sufficient funds to pro-
vide a living chance for this lit-
tle mother and her helpless babe
then and not until then I will
proceed with the dedication ser-
vice. It is my candid opinion
that society has sinned against
this little mother far more than
she has sinned against society.
Come lay your contribution on
this table then we will proceed
with the dedication."
It was the appeal of a strong
man who awakened by the help
lessness of childhood had swept
aside the conventional order and
arose in the splendor of a
mighty soul in response to the
cry of distress.
The people laid aside their
custom of receiving the offer-
tory and filed down the aisles to
lay their gifts at the disposal of
the Bishop. The little mother
and her darling babe were am-
ply provided for then followed
such a scene as is rarely wit-
nessed in any church. Many of
those who were present declared
years afterwards it was one of
the most wonderful manifesta-
tions of the presence of God
they ever behld in that great
building.
