She was a great church and < -Sunday school worker, and a charter : n ember of the Woman's Foreign Mf :ionary society. She was loyal to tb ninisters. Every sermon was to h i good one and each service lifted he soul heavenward. Her preacher wa .vithout reproach and must not b criticised. "Touch not the Lord inointed and do his prophets 11 iarm" she would say. She was unusually social in her di: position.

On November 29th Woodrow Wii on, president of the United States o .merica, signed the proclamation giv n below, for release to the America! eople on December 12th. It show: onciusivelv the deeD interest thi resident has in the Armenian an< lyrian Relief Drive of the America! Jommittee for Relief in the Near Easl nd also certifies to the great worl he committee has already done fo he relief of the four million peopl rho are starving in the Near Easl 'he proclamation is as follows: Fot more than three years Amer: an philanthrophy has been a larg actor in keeping alive Armenian^ S5 ian, Greek and other exiles and refug es of Western Asia. n? turn fnrmpr rippacinns T hflVP ar leaied to the American people in b< lalf of these homeless sufferers rhom the vicissitudes of war an aasacres had brought to the extren st need. The response has been most genei us, but now the period of reliability ion is at hand. Vastly larger sum rill be required to restore these one irosperous, but now impoverished efugees to their former homes tha: Fere required merely to sustain lif n their desert exile. It is estimated that about 4,000,00 Armenian, Syrian, Greek and othe var sufferers in the Near East will r< luire outside help to sustain ther hrough the winter. Many of them ar tow hundreds of miles from * thei lomeland. The vast majority of thei ire helpless women and children, ii ildding 400,000 orphans. The American committee for relie n the Near East is appealing for ninimum of $30,000,000 to be sul jcribed January 12-19, 1919, wit vhich to meet the most urgent need )f these people. I, therefore, again call upon the pei ilp nf the United States to make eve nore generous contributions than the lave made heretofore to sustai ;hrough the winter months those wh< :hrough no fault of their own, hav 3een left in a starving, shelterless coi lition, and to help reestablish thes indent and sorely oppressed peopl . ! ?-1 in their former homes on a self-supe porting basis. ?r j (Signed) Woodrow Wilson. >r : The White House, ls : 29 November, 1918. ,ej S, CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL, i o; SJ Obligation of the Church Through the j.

T^ i q j ^/niiaren nengious i raink i inaI __________ i 5. j . y Once upon a time an old man by j lt! name of John Bull had a heated quar- i a, rel with his son Sam which resulted j ,r | in Sam leaving the paternal roof | ! which had sheltered him from child- j ! hood. He eot into his little canoe I | and paddle.d across the pond. Staking i ^ ! off a homestead for himself be began j ^ | toiling and improving his holdings, j ! In a few years by thrift and economy g he became a prosperous land holder. | John Bull, the father, heard of Sam's y I prosperity whereupon he crossed the j pond to exploit the wealth and home; ^ j of the son. Sam resented being dis-! j Iturbed and having his wealth exploit- j ' | ed and confiscated. A quarrel ensued' -(between father and son. This led to; e blows. The son grabbed a tea kettle^ s and threw at his father. (Boston j l" tea party.) The#father was the stronge er of the two. The son was the more j actfve. After making several hard j drives which the son dodged at the | j same time retaliating by striking the j e j father in the short ribs. Old John i found that it was no easy job to sub-! 1 due the son. He sailed back across j the pona leaving tne son 10 enjoy me : fruits of his labor. Our forefathers made a great1 ' achievement when that document had j been drawn and signed in Indepehd-j ence Hall of Philadelphia. Enthusiasm was high. One of our forebears signed his name with a spoon. (His name was Witherspoon.) Those who drafted the constitution! * of the United States were so zealous for religious liberty and freedom of 5 conscience that the insertion was j made giving all citizens the privilege,' of serving and worshipping God according to the dictates of conscience. For centuries in European countries! f the church and state had ho separate i existence. They were one and the| same, or the two were combined in' < one. The constitution of the United! States fieralded the crack of doom for i autocracy in the world. And also di-i, vorced the church and state. This as-! sures freedom forever to her citizens. I The4 clause concerning religion in | 1 the constitution makes it unlawful! to give children religious training in public schools. This places fully the, ? responsibility upon the churches of various denominations to give relig- J * ious training through the Sunday! school. It is true that the state is 1 prepared and duty bound to give secu-! lar education and training for the in-1 tellect. But the state makes no pro-' vision for the heart training. Ger-j many is a good example of secular and | intellectual training unharnessed be-! ' cause the heart training was both! f neglected and not developed. The! kaiser believed in divine right ofj 1 rulers. (He might have changed his! 5 mind of late.) The German boys were' B taught that might was right and that! 1 the German sword was destined to' 1 rule the world. Germany ran amuck. ' '' She has caused hardship and straight'- j ? ened circumstances to citizens of all j r nations. German kultur has slain its i e millions. The stench and putrefac-! " tion of the dead has encircled the | globe and has to a great measure made | l" unwholesome the very atmosphere, j e Germany gave secular training to all! her citizens but she suppressed the j training of the heart which was her! undoing. h The Sunday school and church of Protestant America is the one insti>f tution having full range and scope d for fostering and for intensifying the L"r religious education and the heart training of the young. The'full imr?r?T-+ nf tho nhlip^itinn and nf the now , ? L" j er the Sunday school can wield. Our j s | churches should meet her obligation j e i and harness the potentiality wrapped | up in the youth and childhood of Q | America. If the Sunday school is dee j veloped and utilized out in the future I embracing cycles of centuries. Ameri?' ca will run amuck and make the misrttake which Germany made. Rev. S. (j.
