KXC\ t ~The social~side ‘of the institute apâ€" peals to /the English women, who like to arrange the hall in which they meet like a drawingâ€"room.. They like to have little teaâ€"tables and enjoy hugely the hour in which the "lady of the manor‘"‘ and the cottager‘s wife met and have a good time on grounds ef equality. The men over there were deeply interested and would have planned out the program. The English woâ€" men took the work and projects of the institutes more seriously as eviâ€" denced by the more stringent regulaâ€" tions governing every department of the work. Almost every institute over there has its district nurse trained in midwifery, who looked after the health of the people in her section. Miss Guest spent some time in tellâ€" ing of the study made to preserve this democracy and of the benefit it is going to work the life of the old land. The aim of the institutes is first, homeâ€"building, and then nationâ€"buildâ€" ing. They are hard at work trying to oust the ugly modern dances by The programs of the British Instiâ€" tutes melude ‘"something to hear," "something to see," andâ€"something to d0, all items being suggested by the members. In two weeks 42 requests for instiâ€" tutes came in from Lincolnshire Othâ€" er counties wanted Miss Guest, the government wished her to go elseâ€" where, but Lincolnshire sent a depuâ€" tation to London and kept her. Linâ€" coln had 50 institutes before Miss Guest left England. When the government decided to follow the same policy that is recogâ€" nized in Ontario with regard to the inâ€" stitutes, it was almost necessary for it to take an affadavit that the women shouldâ€"be selfâ€"governing in their inâ€" stitutes, The reason for this, Miss Guest found,. was the necessity â€" for fighting for individual freedom .that Characterizes the pration, Miss Guest found that class distincâ€" tions prevented the institutes being reâ€" eeived with enthusiasm at first, But the ‘"lady of the manor" was more democratic than her maid. And it was the growth of this democratic feeling that gave the mo’ement its start, then carried it in flood to its ultimate SUuccess. % Every Child Has a Right to Musical Educationr 1. Music is a necessity, not a luxâ€" ALEv . CANADIAN NWOMEN ‘At the recent Congress of the Naâ€" tional Council of Women of Canada a number of resolutions were passed dealing with the question of music Among them the following points were brought out: 2. Every child has an inherent right to a musical education. 3. Unity through music is a means to civic improvement. 4. Patriotisnr is developed by music. 5. The spirit of comradeship, reâ€" gardless of race or creed, is induced by music. 6. Music is the most fearful mediâ€" um in constructive work in a comâ€" munity. With the ‘saloon and dance hall abolished there must be estabâ€" lished in their stead places of clean amusement. amusement. \â€" Give an Eskimo a music box and a 7.

Music is a powerful curative for cords are threadbare and the springs mental, moral and physical ailments. are stretched beyond resiliency. The Women‘s Institutes were the best medium for the adoption by the people of the Food Controller‘s reguâ€" lations. The members paid more atâ€" tention adopting the regulations and disseminated the ideas. Miss Guest hadsat in Kent County ard counted the thuds of the guns in Flanders, reaching 66 to the minute until the big battle when the reports gould not be counted. Alr_raids by might and starvation by day were the principal excitements which marked Miss Guest‘s work. The next thing was to introduce the Women‘s Instiâ€" tutes. Miss Guest‘s account of the peâ€" euliarities ‘of the "Welish was very amusing. 1 It was a‘revelation how quickly unâ€" skilled labor could be turned into skilled labor. Within a year practicalâ€" ly everybody in England had learned to "bottle" as they call it. 1 The ‘"lady of the manor" was the eore who made the most of Miss @uest‘s teaching. Musicians, artists, aressmakers, were among the profesâ€" sions who took the courses. Germany began a month too soon en this warfare, for the English were producing on the allotment principle, and there was no wasteâ€"ground there. Ard this was carried on on the plan laid down by the Women‘s Institutes ef ~Ontario: Everybody worked from daylight to dark. Then the W.â€"I. «ame in again to show the English women how to conserve what they grew. England being an industrial counâ€" try and bringing her food from outâ€" side was glad to make use of . Miss @uest as one who knew ways of conâ€" serving fruit and vegetables. Miss Guest spoke of the. conditions she found in arriving in England at the time that Germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare, and was trying to carry out her threat of bringing England to her knees. Miss Guest, prominent Women‘s Institute worker, who was the Canaâ€" dian representative in Engl&nd in conâ€" nectionâ€"_with organization of the Engâ€" lish women for war work, recently deâ€" livered a splendid address in Brampâ€" tonj telling of her experiences. The speech was most interesting and full ef valuable information. For the benefit of our readers we print hereâ€" with a synopsis of the address.

Let us count that lesson unâ€" j taught in which the practical impliâ€" ; ‘cations are not definitely pointed out. [ Let cach lesson be regarded as capâ€" J able of furnishing direction and guidâ€" ‘I ance to our pupils, ‘for | their, own character growth, and it will be found that as they gain knowledge they will also grow in wisdom, and almost imâ€" 'lperceptibly attain the full measure of a Christian character with their 'ladult years. Certainly it is true that j only by putting into our boyhood and I girlhood toâ€"day that which we wish shall come out of the manhood and womanhood of toâ€"morrow, can we be sure that it will be there when we look for it. Do we desire for the next twentyâ€"five years an interested and devoted Church membership? Let us train our boys and girls definitely toâ€" ward Qhurcll loyalty toâ€"day. Do ‘we want large congregations of worshipâ€" pers then?. Now is the time to secure them.. Do we hope that somehow there will be at hand men of suffiâ€" cient breadth of outlook and loyal inâ€" terest in the Church to take the places . of our old wardens and vestrymen who are go'{ng away from us one of lthese days? Those future vestrymen are in our Churchâ€"schools toâ€"day; we are making them what they are goâ€" ling to be. If we shall find so many | of them useless, whose fault will it ‘\be? â€"Or perhaps we are looking to the future of the school itself: where are the teachers coming from to take the places of those who naturally will have to stop teaching soon? Your fuâ€" ture teachers are in/ your Churchâ€" school toâ€"day. Is there not something wrong with an institution which canâ€" not or will not .provide for its ‘own future, or for the future of the cause which it exists to serve? i American Church Sunday School | * Magazine. |I An Alaskan explorer and fur trader ; back from the frozen north states that :among the Eskimos he met in his reâ€" {cent trip, were some who were really i‘"‘mad‘" over getting pos§essio11 of his "‘box with the music," as they termed ihis talking machine, which he had taken along with him to bear him company. They offered as much as $12,000 worth of pelts for his little ‘horn model. means of the lovely old folk dances. They are fostering the national aptiâ€" tude for singing by community work in ~music, with competitive aims in view. Best of all they are going to replace the old, insanitary housing conditions of Britain with good modâ€" ern dwellings. $12,000 FOR A SMALL MUSIC BOX Phonograph Makes a Great Hit Asâ€"a rule thesepeople are shrewd traders, but one of these Eskimo from the moment the first shrill note came from thehorn was willing to heap silver fox skins and priceless sables at theâ€" trader‘s feet if he would but part with his machine. ! From.a very important pointâ€" of ‘view it is the chief province â€"of the tschool to train its pupils in Christian service in the state and in the Church,. [It is to be regretted that many of our schools have,not yet grasped this fundamiental concept of their work, nor introduced the methods necessary to translate ‘this correct theory into practice. â€" Definite.training guring the periods of childhood and }olescence ‘in those. things which we want.. our Imen and women to be, would seem to be the plain duty of the Churchâ€"school ’to impart. â€"Now, if it be true that â€"our schools have not thus trained the young life of the Church, it is high time that we changed our methods. The writer believes that he can point _out at least one defect in our methods which has contributed somewhat _ to the conditions complained of, and that is our failure consciously to transâ€" mute each lesson into life. That truth alone which is changed into. life is worth knowing. ‘"Not everyone that saith Lord, Eord / ..... But he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven." Our â€" Churchâ€"schools have been instant in season and out of season in filling the minds of our pupils with factsâ€"Biblical, historical, and dogmatic They have learned everything "that a Christian ought to know and believe to his soul‘s health," but only rarely have they had. pointâ€" ed out to them the meaning of what they have learned for their own life. They have not been helped to see that conduct must flow out of creed,. and that merely to know and not to do, brings uponâ€" the individual the‘ Divine condemnation. We are not prepared to defend this position, nor do we believe the chargâ€" es can be substantiated. Nevertheless the question might be asked in . all fairness, whether anything is being done in our Churchâ€"schools to proâ€" duce in our pupils the habit of Church attendance. Where that habit has been developed, Church â€" attendance takes care of itself, and we know of no one who has the habit, in whom it was not carefully developed by wise parents or through the Churchâ€"school. Churchâ€"school practice seems to lead our childhood and youth not toward, but away from the Church, One of the objections that has been registered against Church â€" school many times is this: that modern THE CHURCHâ€"SCHOOL in the Far North IN THE CHURCH ME NS PoC 4 | brought. _A | to u great . f losing sight | looking the { {| a imng cce § 2 > 1 {| 4 & | It is one of the most interesting features of the study of history to see 2Gw ‘deas seem to hold sway for a time and then pass out into the reâ€" gion of forgotten things. It is well that some should thus pass, but there is always danger lest the good may be allowed to pass out with the bad and thus the world become poorer for its loss. Now just at present there seems a danger of one such idea beâ€" ing lost, the loss of which means ulâ€" timate disaster to the Christian world. I mean the idea of ‘"The Church." There is, as one observer says, a great deal of diffusive Christianity, but the idea of organized Christianity seems weakening, and hbecause. of this the force and power of Christian religion is lessened. It is but right that great emphasis should be laid upon the fact of Christ‘s sacrifice for mankind, but while this is done we must be. careful not to overiook the other fact, that in order to make this,sacrifice available for man, He devised a method. And this method was the foundation of an organization, a Church, a Kingdom. And so when the forerunner went out his message was "the . Kingdom . of Heaven is at hand." The greatest part of the three years‘ ministry of our Lord was spent in laying the foundations for the Church, which should carry on His work, and those memorable forty days after. the resurrection were devoted,we are told, to matters concerning the Kingdom. And His last commission was the providing a method of initiation, and into its portal were‘all nations to be brought. Now it is this idea which to « great extent men are practically losing sight of, because they are overâ€" looking the fact that as members of g Ningiâ€"â€"» *"e~g arg raspqnsibilities (By aone of our County glergy). It is one of the most features ‘of the study of Neither of these two were apostles (v. 33). One was named Cleopas. The other.is nameless. and probably, unâ€" less it was Litke himself, all conjecâ€" tures are vain. There were just ordinâ€" ary disciples of whom we have never heard before, and will not hear again lin the gospel narrative. Yet Jesus ~spent more time with them than perâ€" ‘ haps with any one else after His resâ€" urrection... Their backs.. were, upon \Jerusalem.. It is clear that they had no expectation of a resurrection. They are filled with perplexity and discou« ragement and are on the verge of deâ€" spair. . It is an illustration of the love and gentleness and condescension of our risen Saviour that He went . seven miles out of His way and spent several hours of, one of the most . eventful days of His life in comforting and recalling and instructing two stupid, ignorant, insigificant, blacksliding disciples.. They were talkingâ€" about Jesus when He drew near and went with them (efs v. 36 and Mat. 18:20). Their, hearts, were quite full of love, butâ€"almost empty of faith and so full of sadness. The two, do not seem to have been altogether agreed in their opinion.‘(y. 15,. R.V.) Their, eves were holden (by their. slowness . of heart and unpbelief) â€"so, that they did not recognize Jesus (cf. also Mk. 16: 21).. He draws.them . out by . quesâ€" tions.. The first question is very imâ€" portant. It would be an embarrassing question for us sometimes, . if Jesus should put it to us as we walk and talk. Jesus‘ question made them sad (v. 17, R.V.)\ They had no reason to be sad. It all arose from their slowâ€" ness of heart to believe in all that the prophets had spoken. All sadness arises from practical unbelief in God‘s word (Ehil..4: 6, T; Rom. 8: 28â€"32). They were surprised that . any one. should be in doubt as to what they. were talking about. In answer to Jeâ€". sus‘ second question they show that} they had some faith in Jesus left. He was still to them one who had been "a prophet, mighty in deed and word," but He is to them no longer the Christ, the Son. of God.. They had "hoped‘" (R.V.) that He was the Golden text: ‘"Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into His glory?"â€"Lu. 24: 26. Rxpositionâ€"1.

And yet it is one of the distressing features of our life toâ€"day that this duty is being more and more neglected. ‘The golf course, the miotor ride, the Sunday smoke, the social visit, are all preferred to the rendering to our King the honor due His name. And what shall ‘we say of that memorial â€" which Jesus asked us to observe, the memorial of His love, the bond of our fellowship with Him and one another that is by great mass of soâ€"called Christians disregarded or else reserved for times of sickness and approaching death. This is but one of the signs which point to the danger of which I spoke â€"that of ‘ losing ‘the~. idea ~of the "Church of the Living God." and duties resting upon them. Durâ€" ing the last few years we have seen men and women assuming burdens, undertaking work, braving dangers, facing death, not because they liked these things as individuals. If they had consulted their own wishes they would have had none of them. ~But they recognized. that as members of the Empire, of the state, they had duâ€" ties and responsibilities, and so they shouldered them. In the same, way as members of Christ‘s Kingdom, of that society which He left on earth to carry on His work, which if you study His life, you will find was the object of His enthusiasm, of His eduâ€" cational work,â€"we have duties and responsibilities which we can only evade at great dangers to ourselves and to the cause of our Master;, is inexhaustible suggestiveness as to how to study the Bible in v. 27. They at last had,their eyes opened and recognized Jesus ‘"in the breaking of the bread." Jesus didnot meet. their unbelief with an immediate disclosure of His own identity, but as always, honors the Scriptures and builds up a lasting faith by founding it upon the Word of God and not upon experience. Faith cometh by hearing, not by seeâ€" ing (Rom. 10:17). He charges them with folly, Their folly consisted in being slow of heart "to believe in ALL that the prophets have spoken.* There are many fools toâ€"day cut after that pattern. Jesus puts down anyorie who doubts anything the prophets have spoken as a fool. Jesus said the trouble was not with their heads but their hearts,. That is usually the seat of the difficulty, with skeptics (Ino. T:Lt} 5:. 443} Sridt. oPs. 140 1 ). True wisdom, according to Jesus, conâ€" sists in believing ‘"in all that t\he proâ€" phets have. spoken." It. was not a mischance that Jesus,. had. suffered these things. It was absolutely necesâ€" sarmy, and by that path, and by that path alone, could He enter into His glory. (cf..1 Rret. 1a 11. ;R.V.;,.Ino., 12: 24). Jesus.proceeded to. open. the Scriptures. > He began at the beginâ€" ning; He took up ‘"all" Scripture: He showed that He Himself . was the one theme of the whole. Bible (cf. Jno. 5:89, 45â€"47: Ac.u8: 247 10:43). There "amazed" them. Furthermore, the testimony of the women had been tested, and yet it had not been beâ€" lieved. They stuck at the fact, "Him they saw not." Oh, the determined and amazing unbelief of the human heart! ‘These were not the kind of men to bhave hallucinations, They never believed until fairly driven to At. II. The Risen Christ Opening the Scriptures to the Two Disciples Whose Eyes were Holden, 25â€"31. Redeemer of Israel. That hope had been well grounded and they had had no good reason to give it up. Only that had happened which both the O. T. Sceriptures and Jesus Himself had said would happen. Ignorance and unbelief of the Scriptures lay at the root of all their troubles (cf. Ac. 20; 290, 60.;.32, 25 2 Ti. s: IT8â€"19; Mat 22:20). His death so far from being proof that He was not the Redeemer of, Israel was necessary to that reâ€" demption.. Evidently they had not altogether forgotten His words about a resurrection of the third day (v. 21). These men had also heard the testiâ€" mony of the Wémen, but they had not believed, though quite likely one of the women was the wife of one . of these men (Jno. 19; 25, R.V.).
