about the Bible in this generation,
and nothing better has been quoted
from the utterances of Mr. Wilson,

July 23, 1917, during the World war.
Here it is, reprinted recently in the

ROUNDING UP CHURCH MEM
BERS
Episcopal clergymen have been us
ing the month of November in an at
tempt to attract people who have lost
their interest in church affiliations,
and apparently they have succeeded in
inducing many non-church-goers to
take up that habit again. The princi
pal reason in many cases why people
do not go to church, is not any spec
ial opposition, but simply that they
have gotten out of the habit of it, and
they do not realize all its helpful and
pleasant features, nor what a vital
thing church organization is to the
imanity.
People act largely by habit, and if
have slept too late Sunday morn
ings for many years to reach church
services, they keep on doing so, and
Jed too much inertia to ask whether,
this is a good use of time or not. They
would feel better to take part in these
inspiring gatherings, and think of
something different from the daily
rut.
This is true, also, if you stand for
the right things you are not so apt
to fall for the wrong things.

Myrtle Bowen was the. only child of
her mother, and she was a widow. It
makes it so much harder to think that
yesterday she was a bright, happy,
joyous child, and that in a moment,
; the terrible work was done. Running
ir. from school through the cold March
wind, to warm herself, she did not
know, for her back was turned, that
her dress was on the coals. In an in
stant the whole fabric was aflame.
Little ones tried to save her, scorch
ing themselves in the effort, but she
escaped from them, in her terror fly
ing out of doors where high winds
were blowing, and when reached at
last, it was too late. For five hours
of semi-unconsciousness she lingered,
and then went to her Saviour. So far
as human eye can see, this was the
pi.rest accident. No one couid have
prevented it and nothing done to rem
edy it. The lesson to us, is one well
tamed, the lesson of anxiety for these
precious children, who walk surround
ed with dangers, visible and invisible.
