A.

The leaders believe that the members of the various congregations will come through this acid test tri- umphantly. SBrotherhood ought to be an actual vorglpg principle in our churches and net an idle werd,” Dr. Heath said. “If it is not an actual working principle this-is the time for us to find it out. If there is Christian snobbishness. it should be uprooted, But, as a matter of fact, the Family Group Plan is be- tried out in our churches, and families write in that they welcome this oppor- tunity to mingle with those of varying viewpoints.” . . Family week-end meetings will also ¥e introduced into many local Baptist churches, at which the various mem- ders of the family will come together for readings, recitations, music, games and chat. These programs will not mecessarily be religiovs at all, the ?smh leaders say. The church can afely be used for family enjoyment in “these modern times, they'declare, .Dr. Heath contends -that this reor- ation of the church on the family s 1s both wise and natural. “The family is the natural division within the church as well as outside of 1t,” he said. “The Baptist Church is simply recognizing this fact in the New W__orld Movement, If the movement re- sults in a stronger welding of family ties and in helping to settle the nation- al discontent through the mingling of vatious classes the church, the home and the nation will all be the better for B0Y-SCOUTS HELP - TAME WILD TRIBE Kayvali, Madras Presidency, India, Jan. 10.—Under the direction of, the British Indian: Government American Baptist missionaries are adapting oc- . cldental methods in educating and oth- erwise making good citizens of one of the so called criminal tribes of India. This tribe, known as the Erukalas, is made up of what in another.country ‘could be called gypsies or brigands and .. has been rounded up by the-govera- sment into this région, i ‘The “wild” men and women of the tribe are being taught to work, and the boys and girls of the tribe are put in school with other children of this place. The “criminals,” as they are called, " mumber two-thirds of the enrollment in the school. Exhibitions from time to time of the work of the pupils brought out u procession of the Erukalas, and the sight of one of their children recit- ing in a class was a source of intense * pleasure, § So responsive have the Erukala boys proven that a pageant was given re- ‘ cently dealing with the Great War. Several government officials who were present at the pageant were surprised at the discipline. Discipline has been aided by the in- troduction of the Boy Scout movement. The Head Master of the Kavali School first took the training in Madras, and \then he put some twenty of the boys through the training. The administer- ing of the Scout’s oath and the presen- tation of staves and scout handker- chiefs was an unique event and was at- tended by several officials.

Ketchikan, Alaska.—Hyder, newest of Alaskan mining camps, is a “spot- less town” and many stampeders who may rush there in the spring are not going t¢' find drinking, dancing and gambling going on wide open, as in the gold camps of the first stampede in '08, long before prohibition came, ac- cording to reports received here, ! If Hyder's new. residents find any- thing out of the ordinary next spring they may find it in Stewart, a Canadian town not far from Hyder. It is prob- able, however, that the red-coated con- stables of the Royal Northwestern Mounted police, who kept order at Dawson in the gold days, will be at Stewart next spring to see that things are within the law. - For a very brief period this winter Hyder was “wide open,” according to reports. “Whisky and beer were sold at many bars, girls were dancing, planos were thumped and roulette, blackjack and faro were being played,” wrote one miner from the town, Then John Ronan, former territorial senator, was appointed United States marshal and he closed everything up. “Bang went the 1id and hundreds could not get away from Hyder fast enough,” the miner wrote. -“Many went to Stew- art. There everything seems to be wide open.” of 20,000 in three months if the “id” had been left off, the miner predicted. But the “lid” was clamped down and the population dwindled.

Buenos Aires.—As voyagers enter- ing the harbor of the greatest city of North America behold the majestic Statue of Liberty, so within the pres- ent year those coming to the greatest city of South America will behold 8 majestic sentinel, a towering statue of Christopher -Columbus. 2 The monument of the great navi- gator will not, like the Liberty statue in New York, stand in the harbor, for Buenos Aires has no real harbor, but will rise nearly 100 feet in height from a point nedr the water’s edge. Representing tén years’ labor of the sculptor, Arnaldo Zocchi, the monu- - ment soon will be shipped from the artist’s workshop in Rome to Buenos Alres. The jmage of the navigator is 22 feet high carved out of a single block of marble. . EX-DUKE WINS AGAINST STATE \Corifischtion ‘of ‘Estate by People’s Commissioners In Germany, Held llegal. Berlin, Germany,—The former reign- ing duke of Gotha has won his suit against the free state, which peremp- torily confiscated his property and in- corporated it among the state’s as- gets without affording the duke the slightest reimbursement. The duke tmmediately began suit to recover the estate and also claimed damages. In their defense the people’s commission- er pleaded that they had acted within the letter of their prerogatives and were not answerable to the court. This plea has been rejected by the new tribunal, which has decided that the seizure of the duke’s property was fl- legal.

The legend that Meredith lived on the contents of a sack of oatmeal whily he wrote his masterpleces is pure myth, writes St. Jobn Ervine in the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. He was particularly addicted to the pleasures of the table and could not have writ- ten his books on a diet of oatmeal. His letters, are full of references to food and wine and, like Doctor Johnson, he contemplated writing a cookery book. He had the capacity, which every man of genius has, of being highly interest- ed in the most ordinary things. It is your, third-rate person who is not interested in food and drink and the common things of life. Your man of genius demands that these things shall be so attended to that he can appreciate them at their best. More- HOSE who em- ploy us get the benefit of our wide experience in our profession..
