The old one looks the same as 1T did sixty

This Is Real Faith

An mbrella OF the Rev. DR.. Grant, the
pastor of the South Bergen Reformed
church in Jersey City. was stolen last
Sunday from the vestibule of the church.
He mourns the loss all the more because
he borrowed the umbrella from the Rev.
DR.. Meury of the Central Avenue Re-
formed church. DR.. Grant expects to get
the umbrella back. as he has great faith
in the efficacy of prayer. His wife, while
in Canada this summer, lost three gold
pins and ring.
He advised her to pray for their recov-
cry, and she did. In e few days Mrs.
Grants mother found the ring in bu.
reau drawer, which, it is said, had been
thoroughly searched at the time the
ring was missed. On Saturday Mrs.
Grant received letter from her mother
informing her that the gold pins had
been found. Prayer will he offered for
the recovery of the missing um brella.-

There is no doubt at all that William
C.Whitney is much of a coming man.

His place among permanent and i'm
portant candidates for the presidency is
fixed. He is a presidential quantity.
Let us study him therefore, for our en-
lightenment and guidance, and to do it
well let us 60 it from the Teufelsdrockh-
LOB, bresian standpoint. Examlned as
an entire human being Whitney is tall
man, with broad shoulders,a a small waist,
an eager, determined face. winning
manner, an appearance of sim pliclty
which pays great tribute to his real
cunning, and man of fine clothing. His
coat.tails are long, if fashion says "long," "
and when fashion says Short" they are
short.
Such is about the impression he pro-
duces on one who studies him as he
stands complete. But this is the age of
analysis, and man was not made to be
studied complete. To know him. he
must be dissected, cut up like any other
animal or vegetable.

bells that now, for three quarters of a
century, have rung the Angelus were

the financial distress of the institution
that the buildings were on the market

YORK came to the rescue by sending four
daughters and paying. several years
charges for all of them in advance.

Others Would Know Him From this

Here, therefore, you may see Whitney
carved up into his various sections. The
first thing is to determine which one of
these Whitney sections is m ost suggestive
of Whitney entire. One artist who studied
these sections said that undoubtedly the
eyes and nose looked just as much like
Whitney as a perfect photograph of him
could look. A verv intelligent woman
who knows him said that the little pio-
ture of his forehead was such perfect
likeness OF him that "Whituey" was
written all over it. But the man who
works up new schemes with Whitney,
the man who knows him backward and
forward, said that what looked most like
whitney among all these little pictures
was the picture of Whitney's collar and
cfavat.
That man was right. To the everlast-
