CIRL WHO SHAMS RELIGION. She Uses the Church as a Stepplng-Stun to Society. Ruth Ashmore, writing of the "Shams of the Modern Girl," in the Ladies' Home Journal, and of' "the sham that is worse than all others the religious Bham," says: "She is the one who is most conspicuous in speech and sometimes in work; but in her heart her religion is simply a means to a very earthly end. She is prominent in the Sunday school, because she thinks she can in that way become acquainted with some people she would like to know. She Is ever ready to get up and express her creed at the prayer-meeting, because she thinks that her ability will be recognized.

She rustles Into her pew, kneels for a long time, and then settles herself comfortably to look at the congregation. She considers it respectable to go to church. Beyond that she gives no thought. She forgets that, unless religion is of the heart, it is no value. She has never understood that It is not the loud prayer, nor the wordy prayer which makes an impression on God, but that it is the sincere cry from the soul appealing to Him to which He listens.

The religious sham can usually give you a description of all the costumes worn by 'ber set' in church. She can tell you of the amount of money put in by each member as the plate is passed along. She goes to church to observe the outward, visible sign, and never, In any way, troubles herself about the inward, spiritual grace." MO. P. TIMETABLE Mail and Passenger West 1:11 p.
