Some of them Were Unmarried Mothers UR Rescue Depart- ment was taxed to its capacity throughout 1923. A total of 700. Five out of every seven were 'unmarried mothers" an astonishing thing, you say, and yet the number was only limited by the accommodation available.

Singing, solos and choruses conducted by the Thomas brothers, Mrs. Smith accom- panying with the violin, By the Rev. It is beginning to dawn upon somé of us that the church hasn't a mono- poly of all the Christianity in the world. The church undoubtedly. be- came the custodian of what Christ. ianity there was 2,000 years ago, al- though it must be confessed that even then it hadn't a monopoly of all of it any more than it has today. But the teachings of Jesus were so much big- ger and so much more significant than anything that had been taught up to that time that the church which Jesus established through his disciples at once stood in a peculiar way for Chris. tian principles. Since those days the very truth which the church taught has influenc- ed vast areas outside of itself. This truth was so broad and comprehensive in its application that men outside the church began to appropriate it without accepting the church itself. Now the church is simply a means to an end. THe church is not an end 'in itself, The people are the end of its endeavors. The moment that the church sets up its organization or its machinery or its membership roll as the supreme thing, that moment it will lose its grip on the world. : 1 This is precisely what has happened in some instances. The church sought to perpetuate itself through denomina- tional enterprises with narrow sectar- ian teachings, and men lost interest in it. Denominations undoubtedly have a legitimate place at this period in the church's history. What will happen to most of them in the futére mo man dares prophesy. Sometimes, when the di ng feaures in the social, the economic and the politica! world are discussed somebody within the church will calmly arise and say: "Anyway, oh 3 i j Social Forces Challenging the Church Charles Steizle, the church of Christ is sure to win." True enough, but what is the church of Christ? If by the church bf Christ one means the Methodist Church, or the Baptist Church, the Presbyterian, the Congre- ational, the Episcopal or the Catholic Church, I'm not so siife about it; The history of the denominations in every age has demonstrated that God is not limited in his plans by the prevailing denomination or communion. Always has he raised up other leaders and churches to carry out his purpose, when those in existence proved them- selves too narrow "ar too inefficient. He may yet agaid raise up still another man or another movement and this very movement may become the real "church™ of Christ, Surely this cannot be denied by those who themselves owe their origin as a church to certain situations which seemed to call for their organization. The peculiar thing about some of the present denominations among the churches is that their founders never dreamed that the movements which they. established would ever develop into full-fledged, distinct church or. ganizations. They each of them stood for some neglected truth and preached it with great earnestness, and usually in spite of the fiercest opposition.Soon they had a strong following; not al- ways made up of the great ones of the earth, either. This was notably true of the church which the immediate disci- ples of Jesus established. Not many great ones, not many mighty, were identified with it. Tt was composed for the most part of working men and slaves. It had a strong grip upon those identified with the great labor guilds of that day. - Indeed, so plainly is this revealed in history that some students of econo- mic and social conditions of that per- iod have insi church was' actually a great movement in behalf of laboring large ey Who knows WE WILL PUT ON SALE OUR IMMENSE STOCK OF Rugs, Carpets, and Linoleums | ONLY AT SLAUGHTER PRICES | | 1 | B 4 SALE OF DRAPERIES, CURTAINS, CHINTZ, FURNITURE COVERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER. work today to challenge the church of the twentieth century? And is it not apparent that whatever these influen- Fo map ty. are, social in. their character? The next great revival will have as its emphasis the social gospel of Jesus--that great forgotten truth taught so clearly by the founder of Christianity. Perhaps there's in train- ing somewhere a group of men and women who will soon proclaim the new message which will give the church the greatest opportunity for service that it has ever enjoyed, or which will crush it so that it may make way for the greater church which is sure to come. THE WANDERER'S8 PLAINT. I'd ike to turn back to the scenes of thy childhood, ' There care-free and happy to roam; Spring once more invites me ramble the wild-wood And gather fresh blooms to bring home, I've traversed this old world from ocean to ocean, I've basked in the southern zone; But never a spot have 1 found, to my notivn, - To compare with my old childhood's home. ! I have friends made aplenty in lands near and distant, But tonight as I muse in the gloam, My longing for old friends Haunts me most persistent, The friends of my youth back home. Through all of my dreamings I'm strongly persuaded There's no place under blue dome Can banish my recurrent longings, unaided, So, I'm leaving tomorrow for home. ~--GEORGIANA MILLER.

A Thief of Time. ! Back in our schooldays we used to, see in our copy-books a line which read "'procrastination is a thief of time." It comveyed nothing to our youthful mind, unless it wag that the person who chose that sentence must have been hard up for some- thing to put down. But later on we began to realize that the sentence after all had considerable food for thought in it. In pondering over this sentence it may have occurred to the reader that procrastination is not alone in its time-thieving pranks. There are other things in the world at present which are as equally gutlty of steal-|. ing time. One that suggests itself at present is the phonograph. Did you ever hear of the phono- graph ? The individual who when the new record releases come out each month takes a batch home and sits up late evening after evening in the quiet of the home listening to them? And who, if anyone attempts to disturb him In the midst of his pleasure, almost "flies off his handle," so keen on this musical ine strument ig he? Well, thére are hundreds of such phonograph fans. The writer knows of two who fit very nicely into the 8bove description. Ome of these fs an Ontario doctor who has a collec- tion of over 2,000 phonograph re- cords. Another is a Quebec travel- ler who had, at the time of the last letter received from him, attained a library of 600 records. Long after the rest of the house- hold bave retired for the night, he is often to be found downstairs in the ° phonograph library room. But the | phonograph, he does not like to ad- mit is a thief of time." *:
