MERICA'S new day will have] A concern for a reasonable Sun- day observance, for Sunday ob- servance is bound up with remigious is fundamental in a democracy. *Des- potism," as De Tocqueville says, "may not." But what is a reasonable Sunday observance? On this, of course, there will be differences of opinion as to detail; but surely no difference of opinion as to its geumeral character. The best in man is developed and nourished only as he is able to main- tain the supremacy of the spiritual life. The work and life of every day ought to contribute to this; in most people, however, it does this but fit- fully. So far as experience goes the systematic and definite setting aside of Sunday as by way of eminence, a "holy" day has been one of the most significant factors in the maintenance of public religion and morality, Nord such observance of the day rest solely or even chiefly upon the authority of the fourth command- ment. It resides™In the necessity of our nature, in the very constitution of things. It is true Jesus did not specifically re-enact the fourth com- mandment ; it is true, also, that Jesus did 'say, "The Sabbath was made for man and not man"for the Sabbath." | Moreover, the Apostle Paul; in his] interpretation of the Christi view ! oi the Sabbath, states in un stak- 'ms the character of .f n r which the Christ himself: "One one-day above another, esteemeth every day alike. 1 man be fully persuaded i may exer- esteemeth another every 5 own man cise mind," But neither Jesus. nor Paul meant that the Sabbath w to be abrogated, or that man co do as he pleased about it without regard for the common welfare. "Indeed, the Sabbath is not so much of an individual as of a social mat- ter. To get the best out of it the mmunity as such should - agree n what constitutes a proper ob- ince. Instead, therefor, of just ating or quarreling about it, the ommunity should come together and agree on a program. The church- are the natural leaders in such a vement. It is theirs in a peculiar se to order and promote religious | Surely the American people can, un- well being. The community is not getting very far in the matter of a just conclusion when the churches take one stand and influential social organizations take another. The in- telligence and moral sense of such a community as this should be en- listed in the proper settlement of so important an issue. There is a tendency to contrast the "Puritan" Sunday with the "European" Sunday, as though those two excluded all other Sunday possi- bilities. Such a view is absurd and damaging. The Puritan Sunday seems to be grossly misunderstood. An ins- titution which contributed so vitally to the vigor and strudiness of Puri- tan character could never have been as forbidding as the present day caricaturists represent it. It is pos- sible. too, that the European Sunday has been judged by its worst and not by its best examples. No matter. der the freedom of the Christian churches, devise a Sunday observ- ance which will at least measurably fulfill the beneficent intent of God, The Sunday, like every other Chris- i tian institution, exists not for itself, but to develop high character. This end it seeks to persuasive and pre- vailing emphasis upon the things of the spirit. Its supreme function is to give man a special and prepared op- | portunity for serious consideration of the deep things of God and life and human destiny. Unless the day 1s made thus distinctive it fails of its | good purpose. | The best use of the day is vitiated the attempt to make it just like other days. When the day is ob- served with the religious emphasis it eives tone to the other days. Sun r sanely used sends a to his work with a new rel better temper. It is to his spiritual nature what an invigorating bath is to his body. When it loses that distinction the secret of its power is gone, for Sunday is the day of the spirit. There is no remédial value in physical indolence, in sensational distinction, in frivolous diversion. The day misused in that fashion is not a blessing but a blight. Even if it be claimed that thus a man is hav- ing a "good" time, he is certainly not having the "best" time. 1 DV [LL THE W.S.5 LEDGES--McADOO Requested To Settle W.

The Government's monetary requirements were never greater nor more pressing than they are today. Expenditures for Novem- ber were greater than in any similar period. These expenditures growing out of the war must be met by bor- rowing from the people and their magnificent response heretofore to the government's requirements makes me confident that they will not fail to continue their support to the end that all payments resulting from war | necessities will be promptly met. Much remains to be done. Our brave troops must be maintained and paid until their work is fully accomplished and they are returned to their homes. This is not a time for us to relax our efforts and the Treasury department more important. work. during the coming year.

CRIPPLED FIGHTERS [five . OUTLINE CARE FOR Government Plans to Give All Voca- tional Training and to Find Jobs for Them It is intended by the government that there shall be no crippled sol- diers selling pencils and shoe strings on the street corners after this war, and small necessity for "homes" where crippled men may be cared for. The government has made plans to re-educate every disabled soldier and sailor, to secure employment for him and to watch over his welfare there- ~ 'ter, that he may be independent and self-respecting. The actual steps which the government will take are "1. Election by the disabled man of a course of training. 2. Preliminary training to fit him for a definite occupation. 3. A probationary period of em- ployment in that occupation. 4. Placement in suitable position. 5. Follow-up work to safeguard his interests. The government will support the man while training, will pay his tui- tion, traveling expenses and any other expenses incident to his train- ing, and will give his family the same support which it has given during his military service. The disabled man may elect the line of work he wants to take up. He may be re-trained for the work he did before the war, or turn to some- thing entirely different. He may take further training in his old oc- cupation. And in addition to his support and the support of his family he will be given all the medical care he needs, and will be supplied with any arti- ficial contrivances necessary because of the toss of limbs or faculties. He Takes the Blue One Of course you've heard about the hardworked guy whose job was to pick the blossoms off the family cen- tury plant; the bloke who sticks the spots on double-hlank dominoes and the culprit whose life work is making bird seed for cuckoo clocks, but the champeen, double-bowknotted, float- ing axled, vulcanized war loafers is the cuss who said he was doing war work by picking up the stitches his |" wife droppéd when she knitted.--In- dianapolis Star. . ie Some saints 'are inflated by Sun- day sermons, and: go flat like a tire Gentleness = - Gentleness i1s'a good word to put under the shelter of courage, and a good thing to put among the prep- arations for the "unknown year.

Now an absolute assurance may be given to anyone who requires it, that if this moral! preparation and. prerequisite. for the journey of the year be taken; it will be needed, and it will be used, not alone on rare occasions; but more or less .daily all the time. --A.
