1 COAL!
If you want good coal and prompt
service^ give us your orders
formerly. The meetings open at
10 a. m. with a devotional service
in which every member takes
part, then follows a short busi-
ness session. At 11 o'clock the
attended to after which the mem-
bers participated in the Bible
study as outlined in our homes.
With the incoming of March
another fiscal year began. What
of the one just ending? Did we
invest a tenth of our time and
talents for our auxiliary, and for
our conference? Or did we say:
"Under the circumstances I sup-
pose I did as much home misssion
work as I could."
Mr. Rfobert Hunter, in his re-
cent book, "Poverty," gives out
some facts and figures well cal-
culated to "startle the easy-go-
ing optimism of the American
people." He estimates that at
least ten million of the citizens of
the United States, this Christian
country, are in acute poverty and
are suffering, not only for the
comforts, but for the actual nec-
essities of life. In 1899 eighteen
per cent of the people in New
York state were recipients of
public or private charity. Every
year about ten per cent of those
who die are laid away in paupers
graves to await the resurrection
morning.
The real mission of the church
is not educational, though it does
educate people continually, not
to furnish soup, soap and pota-
toes, though it may do this kind
of work when necessary; not to
furnish entertainment for the
community, though it may wisely
have an oversight of such matters,
and see that pernicious enter-
tainments are kept out by pro-
viding some of a better quality.
No, the real mission of a church
is to proclaim the Gospel, to wield
spiritual forces, to bring down
power from Heaven, to subdue
proud minds and stubborn wills
and passionate tempers. This
is the real work of the church
from which it is never excused.
We can do without many things
which seem to be needful. We
haps, all the time on the super-
iosity shown by himself over less
amiable natures. Injure one of
these beaming sons of good
humor and he bears malice; deep,
unresenting, refusing to forgive.
But give us the man who, instead
of retiring to same small, select
society, or ra\her association,
where his own opinion shall be
reflected, can mix with men
where his sympathies are unmet,
and his tastes are jarred, and his
views traversed at every turn, and
still can be just and gentle and
forbearing. Give us the man
who can be insulted and not
retaliate, meet rudeness and still
an who,
the Apostle Paul, buffetted and
disliked, can yet be generous and
make allowances, and say, "I will
very gladly-spend and be spent
for you. though the more abun-
dantly I love you, the less I be
loved." That is "fervent char-
ity."
CHANGES IN THE HOME.
But' there arises a question
which is bound to force itself ever
more insistently upon our minds,
does the average home give us a
pattern which can be safely fol-
lowed? Is it not true that in the
rush of life to-day too many of
our homes are losing that sense
of community of interest upon
which their enjoyment and help-
f ulnees rest? The fathers are en-
grossed in making money; the
mothers are giving what time
they can spare from the neces-
sary household duties to various
pursuits of a more or less public
nature, and the children pursue
their own sweet will, too often
outside the house entirely. We
wonder just how many boys, for
instance of from twelve to four-
teen or fifteen years of age, are
accustomed to look upon their
homes as the chief centers of en-
joyment and helpfulness. Would
not such an inquiry reveal all to
many who regard home chiefly
as a place to eat and sleep in?—
