COUNTRY SUNDAYS." the Sunday joy-ride has been frowned upon, people who live outside the big towns have had a sort of iyagic return of, ponditions which disappeared twenty years ago Even in somewtiat remote rural dis- tricts the «change js surprisingly greal, for the automobile has per- 'meated the whole countryside, and tinctured the face of Nature 'with its own characteristic, "like one drop of absinthe in a cocktail," as a man said who didn't Hke the flavor And now, once a week, the healthful but scarcely invigorating odor of gasoline does mot tingd the open air, | (Many persons who spend their Sundays out of town, besides those whose daily lives are not. passed amongst the bricks and stones, reck- on the re-discovered country Sunday at a high valuation.

For the first-time in history the world beholds the astonishing spectacle of Shintoism, Buddism, Confucianism, Judialsm, Christianity and Moham- medanism aligned for the vindica- tion of the liberties of the world. Japan, China, the Mohammedan world under the British flag, and four 6f the most powerful Christian nations in history stand gide by side against a moral and poiitical prin- to every sentiment of humanity This growing closeness between beliefs, whicli hitherto have been] regarded as irreconcilable, is not|¥ merely an incident of a struggle which hag grouped great resources. It is a sign of the new sense of brotherhood that is growing out of the crash of battles. A better order of things for the hupian race is foreshadowed by theso signs of the tottering barriers of misunderstanding. Without the sacrifice of a single dogma, a single principle, a single vital phase of ro- liglous belief, the world is coming to understand that the aim of all re- liglons is the same, that the pur- pose of aM religious teaching is .to maké mankind better, happier, more le of achieving its ulti: mate d In Russia pecsntives burial ground tor Allied who had fallen'in Joisheviki was con- secrated oy 'a Russian orthodox priest with al the, ceremonial of the Russian Orthodox Church. - A fey] years ago such an event woitld have been difficult to imagine.

Rippling Rhymes ~ HONORED POVERTY Until the kaiser's goat is slain, his eagle "torn asunder, no man has any right to gain a lot of swag and plunder. Of course it's always wise to save the kopecks cojd'and clammy---to help to swat the Teu- ton knave, and back up Uncle Sammy. But he who salts his money down to make his bank roll greater, while Uncle San needs every crown, will look nruch like a traitor. When Wilhelm is an aso ran, and his long sword is rusted, he'll be a proud and happy man who proves that he is busted. "I dug up every cent I had, for bonds and stamps and battle-axes." can make a spiel like that when thiggrim war ig over, and clover. Perchance some skate may ply his jaws, and tell us, braggart-hearted, "I am much richer than 1 was before the war was started." Then he'll be shunned by loyal men, they'll shame him and dodgast him, and into outer darkness then they speedily will cast him.
