II This Week Men Need Fear. How Long Can You Think? Divorce and Cancer. How Rich are We? By Arthur Brisbane. Rev. Percy Stlckney Grant mourns aa follows: "If 86 par cant of young men enter college believing In Christianity and nearly all of them have loat their faith on leaving college, we are teaching Christianity In the wrong way." Very likely hard facts of science are taught In a way that crowds out belief In miracles. It must be remembered, however, that boys In their teens do not exactly believe anything. They only take for granted what has been told them. It takea long mental medicine to plant religious belief In a young mind beyond all poaalblllty of uprooting. A man, known all over the country, said at the recent Lloyd Oeorge luncheon In New York: "Only the Catholic Church standa between property and red radical confiscation. The prot- estant church lost Ita power when it stopped teaching that there la an actual biasing hell. Men need to be flrlghtened." The gentleman Is a good Protestant and goes through all the usual motions, but he is discouraged. If It'a true that fear of hell fire alone wlll keep men honeat, that's sad But Is It so? The American Federation of Labor, which la non-sectarian, comes out strongly and officially against Communism, confiscation of property and other extreme radicalism. High wages enable men to acquire property. And when a man owna something, he at once objects to any plan for dividing evenly. Capital will learn, perhaps, that Its safety lies in making the little man a little property owner. A house paid for and a savings bank account will inspire more conservatism than any fear of hell. "Harvard will teach freshmen to think." Perhaps it can be done. But it recalls the old saying about leading a horaa to water. ■'I write, not that ydu. may read, but that you may think." Montesquieu put that In his "Spirit of Laws" long ago. «ocratas showed where true thinking begina when he said he supposed ha was called the wisest of the Greeks because ha knew that he knew nothing. Thinking cannot be taught, exactly But it can be stimulated. When the apple fall, that started important thought in Newton. When Columbus made the egg stand up. that probably made the spectators think for a few seconds. But how can you teach or provoke PROLONGED concentrated thinking? Select your aubject. matter unlimited in infinite apace," or "time without beginning or end," or "the logical probability of personal Immortality." The average mind will find It hard to stick to one thought for three minutes. For seven marriages In the United States there is one divorce. For seven people of middle age one Is sure to die of cancer. Some call the divorce cancer worse than any other malignant tumor. If we understood cancer and divorce we might find them not so far apart. . Both come from Ignorance, both could be prevented. The voters of Oklahoma seem to have decided against Governor Walton, ln favor of tha Ku Klux by an overwhelming majority. Governor Walton aecures an Injunction to pre vent an election that would Impeach and put him out. If It be true that tbe Ku Klux completely control a great state, tbat interests all other states. It may be that Oklahoma voted not so much ln favor of the Ku Klux as against Governor Walton's use of militia to prevent voting. Statistics put the wealth of the United States, everything included, at three hundred thousand million dollars. Taxation assessment on New York City's real estate is increased, this year, more thsn one thousand millions. Tbs total assessed value of New York la slaves billion and a quarter. It would be impossible to gusss the total wealth of the United States, with several cities that will toon be bigger than New York is now,--Chicago, Uw Angeles, Seattle, Detroit, among others.

The Interior of the building Is ready for plaster and decorations and the pillars for the front of the church arrived here this week. Work will be continued each day In order to get the work completed In as short a time aa possible.

Although there are only a few people from Amherst each year, records recently complied show that approximately 250 Amherst students have completed all or part of their education ut Oberlin College. A careful study of the 48,327 names enrolled at Oberlin since 1833 reveals that Oberlin has served Its Immediate neighborhood by educating 8,050 young men and women whose homes were in Lorain County, and in addition has attracted 68,277 from more distant region,*, approximately 60% of the total enrollment always coming from outside of the state of Ohio. About half of the 8,050 Lorain County students were residents of the village of Oberlin, having moved there with their families for ate least their college course. Of the other hulf, 1.770 came from the rural districts ot the county, and the remainder, an almost equal number, from the cities of Lorain, Elyrla, Amherst, and Wellington. Since the days when Oberlin Academy . and College were almost the only Institutions of higher education in the county, and when through the long winter vacations Innumerable Oberlin College students taugbt ln practically every district school in the region, the contribution ot Oherlin to the intellectual and spiritual life of Lorain County has been contlnuoua and beyond computation.

A number of local merchants have requested us to explain to the people the meaning of sending hilts and statements the first of the month, or at any other time the merchant so desires. This explanation has been requested on account of a few people who have taken offense at the receipt of a statement or bill. It Is considered as a good business method, to render a bill at the time merchandise is purchased and u statement on the first of the month for all goods purchased during the month previous. This is done ln order that the merchant can keep an accurate check on his boohs, that is, he can determine what hia bills payable are, by looking at the atatmenta and bills sent to him. In return he can tell exactly what his accounts receivable are by making out stafmneata and sending them to his customers.

This explanation has been requested on account of a few people who have taken offense at the receipt of a statement or bill. It Is considered as a good business method, to render a bill at the time merchandise is purchased and u statement on the first of the month for all goods purchased during the month previous. This is done ln order that the merchant can keep an accurate check on his boohs, that is, he can determine what hia bills payable are, by looking at the atatmenta and bills sent to him. In return he can tell exactly what his accounts receivable are by making out stafmneata and sending them to his customers. Those requesting us to make this explanation do not want their customers to fell offended when they re- reive a statement or bill, but to realize that It la purely good business practice to do ao.
