are destined u he the great industrial

Salem is the most attractive town in
Virginia; and it may well be proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, its
hcalthiul climate, its refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
Of Roanoke College. one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
place Of residence, it now offers UNI
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever eQuallcd Silcm's
ri cord of progress for the last twelve
months. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lishcd on a solid industrial basis.
This property adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
eriy, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been well graded and
macadamized at a cost of $4,000, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
On it. the Hotel Salem, costing $685.

one of the finest business thoroughfarcs
in Virginia.

fancy that it is not generally known
that there is in this town man who has
twice made the perilous journey to
Mecca. Hadji Brown he is called in the
east, the 'Hadji" meaning pilgrim. Mr..
Brown is an IrishInan by birth and a
traveller and journalist by profession.
HelhasItraveled much in Persia, Afghani-
stan and other oriental countries. He
speaks Arabic like native, and in
Turkish costume he easily passes for a
Turk. 1t was in this character. Of
course, that he visited Mecca, for with
ont some such disguise he would have
been murdered long before reaching the
sacred city. Sir Richard Burton, whose
single visit to Mecca made him famous.
would have been slain by fanatic on
the journey but for the fortunate fact
that Sir Richard was bit quicker with
his weapons than was the would be as
sassin.
Brown is taken for a Mussulman in
the east, and he says his prayers in adj
mirable oriental fashion. AS matter
Of fact, it is not very difficult feat to
pass as a Turk, even among Mussulmen,
for Turks are of all compilations, and
even a blue eyed man who spoke the
language and wore the proper costume
would not be challenged unless he
aroused suspicion by some un-Moslem
act. Sir Richard Burton's moment of
danger came from very simple neglect

"Other foundation can no man Law. "
Any narrower church is unworthy of
humanity and of God, and will. in the
natural course of events, be swept away.
The gods of ecclesasticism have very
often been devils, but the true God is a
perfectly good Being, and his church
must therefore be co-extensive with the
race. In righteousness, and in right
eousness alone, we have an idea that
we will unite all men by a common
bond. In Righteousness, and in right
eousness alone, we have an idea capa-
BILE of indefinite expansion, of unceas-
ing application to the ever changing.
ever growing necessities of human life.
church founded on the idea of
righteousness is a church which all wise
men must approve, which all good men
must love. for righteousness is abso-
lutely necessary for the well being of
mankind. A church founded on the
idea of righteousness is part of that
eternal and universal church which ex-
listed long before the Christian era,
which will continue to exist when every
ecclesiastical institution in Christendom
has collapsed EccIesiasticism must be
destroyed before religion can begin.
The churches of men must be revolu.
tionized in order that the church of
God may be saved. Rev. DR.. Alfred
