AnImportant ‘Problem of Education Is involved Which Can, It Is Believed, Be Solved In ‘No ‘Other Way So Waell as by Home ‘Gardenirig-Done'by Chil- dren Under School Direction. The child’s garden movement ‘hus re- cently struck New York city. From the west it has come, and Portlaud, Los Angéles, San Francisco, Deuver, St. Louis, Milwaukee and many other cities are already proud- of thelr school children's gardens. In New York, 100, it has been (vied-in a tentative manner, but now that the’ International Child Welfare league has taken it in hand the child, gzardening movement is s- suming iwportance. The movenient lias become one of-national scope. and everywhere so far it has proved ‘a great success The enthusiasts who are directing the movement are confident that the establishment of ~children’s gardens will solve wany questions. They dif- fer, however, as to its main object. Some say that the value lies in the fact that children will be taught habits IN A CHILD'S GARDEN. of Industry. Others say that children who have formerly worked in mills and factories may add to the family means by raising vegetables instead, and thus the child labor evil will be lessened. Others say that the main object is to teach children the: funda- mental principles of morality; that each individual must by some kind of labor contribute to the common wealth as much as he takes out of it. All are agreed, however, that it will . mean health, strength and joy in labor to the children who work in these gardens. Children are now at work cleaning up back yards and vacant lots and di- viding the land Into plots. An experi- enced gardening instructor superin- tends the work and suggests what is needed. The soil is examined, and the qualities that are lacking are added. Seeds are being provided to the chil- dren by the gardeuning committee of the Child Welfare league and.by sev- eral large seed houses. In this situation is involved an.im- portant problem of education and eco- nomics which can, it is believed, be solved in no other way so well as by home gardening done by children un- der the direction of the school. In oth- er large cities where vacant lots in the suburbs have been turned over to the children to use as gardens a teacher who understood practical and theoret- fcal gardening was employed to direct the work of the children throughout the summer. When the first interest and enthusiasm began to flag it was she who revived a new interest in the growing of vegetables and flowers; it was she who inspired the weeding, the hoeing and Taking that must be kept up during the hot days of July. Adolph ‘Lewisohn, chairman of the home garden committee of New York city, had this to say of another aspect of the movement: “In England, Holland, France, Ger- many—in every European country, for that matter—every plece of ground is utilized, and the result of this cultl- vation is a beauty that our country lacks. The bald ugliness of American towns and cities is due In a large measure to this neglect of unpccupied ground. We pile up our vacant lots and the outskirts of our cities with tin cans, unsightly: dumps and all sorts of refuse. The firet thing a forelgner notices when he comes to our country Is this dreary ugliness. We- shall do much to beautify ‘our country if we encourage children’s gardens.” To Relieve Rheumatic Pains.

Rice, D, D: Pastor /St. John'M. E. Church, Sotith, St. Louls, Mo, Somie’ years ago, the question’ was asked: What is a college? 'The at tempt to ‘answer it shook the’édiica: tional ‘world in America from ‘é¢enitér to_circumference. Another question ia now begtuning to be asked: What is a :church? Without undertaking ' to &fve a definition of it, let me'ask, in this initial ‘paper, what the ‘church 18 for? The New Testament reveals three distinct tasks to which it fa committed, First, that of evangelization. The church i divinely commissioned ‘to reach for the lowest and -the ‘least man in the least land and offer him sonship to the Eternal God; offer him a divine power, which lifts him out of the bog and places him upon the highest levels of human life, where God and the soul are in fellowship. This alone were an immiense priv- 1lege, Teaching the Art of Living, The church is commissioned: also to teach and train ‘those who ' are rich with its evangelistic message, The term, Religious Hducation, has come to mean a specific thing in ‘our country, namely, the training of the People in the local church in' those deep matters which pertain ‘to the artiof living. I am not now speaking ‘of the work of education 1in schools, colleges and universities, but the' work of education at our doors, in the-con- gregation, Every agency in reach should be employed to the utmost in this- important mission. Indeed, the local church could be made a sort of university for all the people, in which ithe simple, practical arts and virtues ienforced. Only recently has this ispecial phase of the church’s work re- ceived anything like adequate atten- jtion. The New Testament word for it is Edification. School of Religion Needed. . Ot course, the Sunday School is the _center for all this work, although the “detivitles of the church should extend through the entire week and the Sun- day School should cease to be so named. ' It should be called the School of Religion or the Church School or something else that indicates it to be an all-the-week activity. During this'| time various and sundry clubs, classes, musical organizations, culture courses, as well as distinctly religious meetings, should be hefd.. Thickly settled neigh- borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine opportunities for the development of things spiritual. The third task to which the church is committed is that of Christianizing the social order; that-of infusing the spirit of Jesus into every nook and correr- of our life. Nothing is foreign to the interest of the church. Neighborly Love Essential. If religion pervades and colors the whole life then ours is serious busi- ness, for it will let no corner of the world escape its influence. The sooner we learn that Christianity is not a thing to. be practiced in a corner the better for the world. The question of the eighteenth century, touching Chris- tianity, was, Can it be made to square with the human reason? Of the’ nine- teenth, Can it be made to square with the results of scientific research? Of the ‘twentieth, What can it do? We must learn to enforce not only love of God} whom we cannot see, but love to our neighbors, with whom we are living In constant. contact. Neither without the other is Christianity whatever else it may be. Everything that interests his neighbors must interest him, it he 1s a génuine follower of the Christ. It is the mission of the church—the rural as well as the city—to evange< lize the whole world, to train to the highest degree of efficiency those whom it evangelizes and to seek to make the spirit of Jesus the absolute rule in all human relations. It is an admitted 2conomic. fact that || there can be no permanent prosperity | without & permanent agriculture.
