' dom of Superstitious Fear V By BISHOP JAMES E. FREEMAN (Episcopal). 'W 13 HAVE been reminded'in certain quarters of late that the VJmJ teachings of Christ place large limitatioit upon life, that y yf th7 Prduce a form of slavery and restricted freedom of action. There is certainly nothing in the words of the great Master to confirm this. He declared that Re came to usher in "the more abundant life." He contended with the narrow churchmen of His age for their ungenerous and repellent systems, and sought to make evident to men the value of a religious habit and practice both appealing and g. There is urgent need that the youth of our generation should be made to understand that tho Christian life as conceived by the Master is designed to enrich and emancipate men from the thralldora of uperetitioua fear and burdening anxiety. In one of the most remarkable utterances of Jesus he said, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." It was the inspiration of such teaching that prompted the early disciples, in speaking of their new-foun- d faith, to characterize it as "the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." They preached this liberty to men and women who all their lifetime had been subject ; . to bondage through fear. It was such preaching and teaching that wrought a change in the habits and practices of men as had not been 'fcnown before. Christianity stands today as the sponsor and guardian of human lib-- t erty. Its, ideals carried into the common things of everyday practice must effect finer conditions of individual and social life and contribute mightily to the happiness and peace of mankind the world over. Christ is the exponent of a philosophy of Iffe that bears immediately upon out dearest and fineet interests. To accept such a philosophy and live by it means to recognize plan and purpose as well as objective in the scheme of life. It means to make the part we play indispensable to the outwork-ing of an orderly universe. It means to see in the cumulative effort of life the gradual consummation of our highest hopes and expectations. It means to see at the end of its way the dawn of a better day and the at-'- :. . tainment of life's supreme aim.

People lived normal live, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air. But even that early there were drastio physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need just such a mild, safe bowel stimulant. This prescription has proven it worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxative. It has won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief frora headaches, biliousness, flatulence, indi-gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dysepsia, colds, fevers.

Moptasa STUDY ATHLETICS AND PSYCHOLOGY Unique Course Established at University of Illinois. By COLEMAN R. GRIFFITH Director of Psychological Research In Athletics, University of Illinois. Every coach, "k'e anyone else who must hnndie men and train them, has to be more or less of a psychologist The most successful coaches are prob-ably the best psychologists. That is, they know best how to handle men and how to get the most out of them. This is an art which Is wholly distinct from their skill as tactician In the sport they coach. A man may be ever so good a tactician but wholly fall to know men, and hence full as a coach. On the other hand, a man nay know men, be a mediocre tnctlciun, and still be a good coach. In view of these facts the athletic association of the University of Illi-nois, at the suggestion of Ceorge Huff, director of phys!?rl welfare, under-took, three years ago,' to establish a laboratory for the study of psycho-logical problems In athletics. It Is one of the 'purpose of this laboratory to make a complete study of the men who come out for the dif-ferent athletic teams at the uni-versity, to study the coaches and their methods, and thus help the students who enroll In the four-yea- r course In athletic coaching to understand the psychological side of the coaching pro-fession. Studies are made on the mental and physical alertness, the memory and learning ability, the nervousness or steadiness, the vision and heating, and the thinking power of all members of the various athletic teams with' a view to making use of the best mate-rial in the squai's. The laboratory is also making a number of other studies on the psycho-logical side of athletics. One of these concerns the way In which athletes sleep before and after games and other heavy exercise. Underneath the beds of some of the members of the teams are placed recorders which make a record on paper of every movement of the athlete during the night These records show whether or not the ath-letes are rested by a night's sleep and whether or not they are getting too much heavy work. Last spring the members of the baseball team used, during practice, a special bat with electric connections built Into It so that measure of the time that elapses between ihe moment the ball hits the bat and the moment the batter reaches first base could be taken. This experiment on batting showed that many batters spend as much time getting out of the batter's box as they do In getting to first base. It was also shown that such men could learn to get away faster and so stand a better chance of turning some of their blows Into hits. These and a score of other problems are being studied by the laboratory in the gymnasium and the results are discussed In a unique course for stu-dents in coaching called "psychology and athletics." When this course was Bret started it was the only one of its kind ; but other schools have seen the advantage of such a course and the Idea has now spread to other parts of the country. Illinois still has, how-ever, the only laboratory devoted ex-clusively to the study of psychological problems in athletic competition.

JOHN A. VOLLENWEIDEIt, New York (Methodist). ..'V - do not put much confidence in immortality on the basis of future rewards to be obtained, or think of heaven as a fire escape from hell, there is, I believe, available for all men the power of endless life. Some men deny the fact of immortality on the grounds of reason and lack of scientific verification and also on the grounds that it is "wish thinking," based on emotional and not on intellectual reaction. Others, frankly in doubt and confused, say "I do not know." On the other hand, the reasons advanced by some people for belief in immortality bring the question of life after death into disrepute because a life after death, consisting of blissful, inactive enjoyment with a generous supply of golden harps, angelic choirs, crowns and golden streets, is certainly far from attractive to thoughtful people. Emphasis has been given also, to communications with de-parted spirits, but the evidence is slender. Psyeholugy has given scien-tifi- c explanations of many phenomena once puzzling to the human mind. It is, however, reasonable that any demand as persistent and universal as is the demand for immortality be satisfied. It is reasonable that there be life after death. Without immortality life would be characterized by futility and mockery. The hope of ongoing life extends our whole conception of the worth and dignity and significance of human life.

GEORGE GILMOUR (Unitarian), Denver. ,. The feelings of mankind instinctively revolt against any system of thought that threatens to lower the dignity of man. Ilence the mechani-cal theory, the reduction of man to a mere machine, has evoked a great protest from those who behold their spiritual aspirations threatened. The results achieved in the course of evolution naturally lead up to identify the creative power with the mighty forces and capacities of na ture that explain the perpetual life and growth of plants, animals, map and ideals. This cosmic order is a wonderfully sublime order and there is evident progress toward the higher in the world. . The religion of Christianity and evolution makes it clear that man is endowed with divinity. Of self-seeki- intrigue in politics and an in crease in loose living in domestic relations, there is no need for despair. There is enough moral and spiritual power resident in the human beings of this generation to create mankind. The normal human being has a wholesome admiration for justice, honesty, truthfulness, forbearance, good will, unselfishness, and these are the advance guards of life. . . . A revival of the true religion of Jesus will come when the moral law has a sufficient voice in the life of the churches and church leadership pledges itself to make men more keen for truth. Sportsmanship Lacking in Football of Today Football has become a heartless, ma-chinelike thin at the sacrifice of sportsmunshlp uuder the Influence of the present age of efliclency, in the opinion of Dr. John W.

Enlightened Systems of Education Have Largely Done Away With Truancy By CHARLES L. MOSHER, New York Educational Director. Adjusting the school to the various types of children rather than adjusting the children to the school is part of the system of education as developed by the state departments of education. . f Not very long ago a child was subject to an inflexible course of study from the first grade to high-scho- ol graduation; and in that period edu cation literally was shoved into his head, no allowance being made foi mental ability or emotional adequacy. But this system, after years of stady, has changed and will pontinuf to change. Adjusting every year of school to the child means greati power. There are as many different personalities as there are children and as many stages of native capability. Today we do not ask a boy to " absorb more than he has power to, and thus we avoid the conflict and thf rebellion bred in the old system. The wider scope of the educational objective has also solved for the most part the truancy problem. We are still troubled to some extent by such factors as foreign-bor- n parents and economic hardships makinjz for illegal absences, bnt the truant of the old type who stayed out oi school as an expression of rebellion against the order of things hag dis appeared.
