' V^.-,Uv?' > IN THE BIGHT DIRECTION Central Presbyterian church of thin city has taken a ?tcp in Its work which though an Innovation will wy.li out doubt meet with unanimous ap proval and turn out to lio .ono of tho moat practical Hiena ilia*, u c6ogrega lion bau taken in quite a while. At the regular prayer meeting service Inst Wednesday evening lt was de cided to di- continue this midweek service, Inasmuch ?in it had not proven (successful as a third preaching ser vier- of thc week, and organize a Christian Service .Society. The work of the nev/ organization will he conducted along thc lim;; of the Christian "?deavor Society, em phasising throe main features, name ly, devotional and social work inside the church and this feature of tho work outside of tho church. Tho new organization will moot on Wedn'es day nights, and from time to time will gather in the basement of the church for a social service The object of ?ho change is to develop tho members of tho church lu moro active Christian ' service along all linen, to make the church moro attractive and valuable" to the people and to make it a better instrument in tilt* hands of the Lord. Organization was effected by tho adoption of a provisional constitu tion calling for thc election of a pres ident, a vice-president and a secre tary-treasurer. The organization will be completed next Wednesday even ing hy recommendation of the chair men of tho five following committees: membership, program, mimic, social and visitation work an? the adoption of a permanent constitution. Thc innovation strikes us as a most excellent one. Were its sole aim to ' mako tho church more attractive and vi".uable to tho people," that would be moro than aufflclent justification for tho chango. ,Anythm*g that will mako the church moro attractive and moro useful to the peoplo generally ls. to our mind, well worth doing, provided, of course, what IB done be within tho bounds of propriety?' A great many j non-churchgoers aro, no doubt, in this CIUBB because there is not . ttlflciont attraction -/'there for them and because there is not enough ot that about tho church which makes thom fool that tho church ia of par ticular value to them, or they to it. Wo doubt not "but" that this la a prob ; lcm that churchmen have sweated over full many moons, and .ono that ls ongaglng even now tholr doopest study almost dally. Preaching, however poworful, is not sufficient to induce some people to at tend church regularly. A man may go and liston to a splendid discourse, hear good singing and most beauti ful music and go away without feel ing any particular desire to return there Sunday after Sunday. Tho samo may bo true of prayer! meetings. But if that man* can bo in nd o to feel that his being in tho. church ls of vital im port a nco to tho church; If he can bo made to feoi that he is a real and., an important part ot lt; that there is sympathy and understanding between him and. the other members ot tho congregation, and a personal.uud very dcop interest in him-!t' a map can bb made to feel that way about his pres ence In tho church, he la pretty opt to got into the habit of regular at tendance. And more than that, ho ls moro than likely to mako himself ac tlve and thereby useful in the church. Hut how is .this sympathy and under standing to ho had among this man and tho other ?nen and women in the church except there bo Borne form of social Intercourse .and enjoyment among them? Too many church mem bers do not know tlie man or the wo man, the boy or the girl, sitting next to them on tho pew, or just In front ot them or Just behind. And too many church members never take the time nor go to thr. trouble to i'md out An innovation .that is calculated to bring the membors of the, c'a arch into cioser union with ene ?mother and foster more intimate relations be tween thepv and thus better under standing, hide fair to prove both a wiso and a profitable change. Having thus become bettor acquainted, it ought to bo eaay fer church mc mho ra to got togothor and do team work; and when church members get to do ing team work, that church ta going j to go "some," begging pardon^ ..for tho uso of the expreB?'cn. It #e mis take not, thia is the object, or rather one of tho objecta, of the decision.; or Central Presbyterian church^io continue the. midweek,prayer ; J and organizo instead a Chrisp Xlce Society; ; . MAKING THE GOAT A WAU Tho latest contribution to imyrom'p* tu plans for the natif nal d?tense comes from (Senator Kern of Indiana. He proposes to mobilize the fraternal irdora ot the couutrR^^i ? - ; Many of these orders, ho remark*, have uniformed ru:?'.'.:> with connider uhic military training. Ho wa? amaz ed recently by the drilling of tho Knights of Pythias at their Hummer camp in Toronto. Similar efficiency in manoeuvre? is found in the uni formed rank of thc Knights of Colum bus, tho Junior Order, thc Masons and many other societies. "While it ls perfectly fruo," Sena tor Kern says, "that these men are trulucd to drill and not to light, the important point ?H that their inclina tion led tho members to enlist in thc organization nnd give their limo to the training necessary. When a man has learned to take orders promptly and without question, ho hus learned thc first and most important lesson nf a soldier." Thcro 1B, thus, OB ho remarks, "a tremendous number of comparatively young men who have already learned much of military science. They arc very thoroughly organized, and in % very short time could bo transformed into efficient soldiers." He would have summer military academies es tablished In which they could be given additional drill, rifle work and other training necessary to complete their instruction, under tho direction ot regular army oilicerB. Thus they would soon constitute n big, efficient army reserve. It I?n't likely that tho suggestion will bo carried out literally, and regi ments divisions and corps be organiz ed from tho various orders. Tho goat, the ancient symbol of tho secrot .society, will not bo metamorphose J Into Avar horse. Nevertheless, It is evident that these societicB will be in position to furnish unofficially largo numbers of recruits to any civilian soldier army tbat congress may es tablish., A LINE d' D O P E If ? mt ni -_-.

Judging from what Bevela! promi nent farmers ot this county say, there will be: much more grain sowed this fall thau last, especially wheat.
