RETTY nearly every person you meet nowadays is a re-| former. sport with never a closed season trouble with our reforming, though, There has been one big We're so eager to reform the other fellow that we forget to give it a try-out our- selves. New Year's used to be a time of personal reform pity the custom hasn't kept up. Even though good resolu tions, made with the sincerest intent, soon fall by the way- side, ‘tis better a new leaf than never to have tried at all For the fun of the thing, let’s do a little supposing Suppose that in 1914 every one of us stopped the use of strong drink, stopped tobacco, stopped spending a penny on vice and cut out unimportant, catchpenny amusements It’s a to have tried and failed to turn over Have you any idea what it would mean? Well, here’s one thing that it mean enough saved to permit the building of 1,234,100 homes costing $2,500 apiece. It is fashionable in these times to think that what we lower would mean. It would need to make life easier and better is more legislation- tariffs, public control of credits, trust busting, government ownership of many public utilities. We complain of the high cost of living. And rightly; for it’s absurd that the distribution of the wealth wrought by our wonderful inventions should be so unequal that while a few have infinitely more than they need, the many have hard work to keep afloat Yet how many of us realize how much of the HIGH COST OF LIVING is really due to the COST OF HIGH LIVING; of cultivating a taste for things you have bought, marking opposite what each cost, and then, with a blue pencil, crossing out the items which you could very well have done without? Not only do we waste money on trivialties, but think also how large is our waste of TIME and OPPORTUNITY . Never were the facilities of education or accessible as they are today. } who might be studying for greater effifiency, who might be| preparing, as Lincoln prepared, to climb up from poverty, up| | from handicaps, are living on a dead level, content merely to z= work, play and sleep, our tomorrows just like our yesterdays so numerous, varied Nevertheless, millions of us and todays. So we suspect that 1914 is going to be pretty much the kind of year YOU make it. PENNSYLVANIA POULTRY man has bred a combination of White Leghorn, Rhode Island Red and Blue Leghorn hen.

How to Fill the Pews E like the spirit behind the plan of that Cincinnati clery- man who has opened his church evenings to the un- employed, serving free food, good advice and an invitation to use the idle pews as cots if they have nowhere else to lay their tired heads. That's most decidedly the spirit of Christianity as exem-| plified in the teaching and practice of Christ and the early| Christians. He preached—yes; but He also fed the hungry and healed the sick and comforted the miserable And we guess it wasn’t half so much His preaching, unsurpassed as that was, as it was His practicing, that made the common people hear Him gladly and follow Him with affection. | In each of our cities are great, fine churches, represent- ing millions invested, but empty and dark most of the week and not any too well filled on Sunday. 2 | And outside, on the streets, are able men who have no| work and are hungry—some, also, bitter men, who think the church is of no use to them and who sometimes, with oath, doubt whether even God cares. Rev. A. N. Kelly of Cincinnati believes that God does| care and that at least one church can help. He doesn't stop| with believing and saying it—he is PROVING it. | If Christ were in every church, do you suppose that its! an| Se sa a ne TT ee | | doors would stand closed and its kitchen idle while hunger| stalked the town? j Then why isn’t your church working? | Did we hear you say: “I have no church”?
