"But folks will see us!" Gainor muttered, drawing back. Nell buried her face in her bands. "Oh, Nell," groaned the man, "I'll never forgive myself! Will you?" He thought she was still crying, no doubt. But Joan, shocked and thunderstruck, knew well enough that she was merely hiding the last of her laughter. Oh, shameless woman, she thought. And her anger arose. And now they were walking off affectionately arm in arm with the girl looking sadly up at Gainor and saying: "I only want you to be kind to me. John. Just a littie kind to me!" "Kind to you!" Gainor replied, his voice a great tremor of enthusiasm.

(To be contim article in The Forum, in which he pleads that children should not be asked to believe blindly what it is impossible for their elders to believe without much philosophy and interpretation. "It is folly," he says, "to proclaim that Christianity rests upon miraculous signs and events, and that, shorn of these, there is, and can be, no Christian religion." After the child learns what Mr. Major calls the contradiction between the miracles and the laws of the universe, he loses his faith. His religion, based upon the miracles, has been destroyed, along with his faith in those moracles. Some of French Taxes For 4 Months $31,440,000 Over Estimate Pairs--During the first four four months of this year, France's taxation receipts have exceeded budget estimates by 800,000,000 francs, about $31,440,000. Indirect taxation has yielded 3,-250,000 francs and direct taxation 500,000,000 francs. Practically the only tax which shows a deficit on the estimates is the turnover tax, which is 11,000,-000 francs less than estimated though 35,000,000 more than was received during the same period last year.

Children must be taught, says Mr. Major, "that religion is a progressive and culminative spiritual endeavor for betterment and must be shown how the whole conception of God and religion has progressed and improved through the Old Testament into the New. It must be explained to them that the ancient Biblical cosmology is not God's but the accepted belief of the time. They must not be taught to believe in Christianity because of the miracles, but. if you will, in the miracles because of Christianity."
