10000 chapters. Besides the parent or
ganization, there Is Junior League
with 100000 members, Methodist
Episcopal Church South League with
1000 chapters, and Canadian League
recently organized, but growing with
great rapidity. The German Methodist
churches have organized 500 chapters,
the Scandinavian and Danish, 300; in
Inuia there are $50 chapters, In China
and Japan, SO; in Mexico, 80.
The object Of the League, as officially
given, Is to promote intelligent and 10y
al piety in the young members and
friends of the church; to aid them In the
attainment of purity Of heart and con-
slant growth in grace, and to train
them in works of mercy and help.
In its several developments the League
has kept this purpose well In view. Ev-
cry chapter or branch has Its spiritual
department., which aids the pastor In re-
yival meetings, street services and the
circulation of devotional books. 1t has
llso its department Of mercy and help,
which does good work all over the
country In connection with hospitals,
local relief bureaus, employment agen-
cies, nurseries for the children Of work
Ing people and sick visiting.

The Golden Opportunity,

We know that it is quite possible for
a man to be too timid, to allow the
golden opportunity to drift by him, to
let the tide sweep on and leave him
stranded. 1t happens to many a man,
in our growing and changing new cities
that he failed to see the time to spend.
He clings to the original makeshift OF
n mandatory, warehouse or shop; he
fears to venture on a new investment
until 1t Is too late. His more enterpris-
ing and confident neighbors have left
him behind, and the rest Of his life is
discouraging struggle to catch up

After period Of more than 400 years
the Copt-C Catholic Church Is again under

Leo XIII. restored the Patriarchate for

The latter has now named a Copt bish-
cp cor Upper and Lower Egypt.
An event of interest to the whole
Catholic world, says the Republic, will
be the celebration of the 18th anuiver-
sary Of the Popes first reception of holy
communion. That important event in
Leo NILS life took place while he and
ulS DIOlucI, tllt ldlt IeCtl
were students at the jesuit College OF
V!terbo. The celebration Of the 18th
anniversary of his first communion can
not well fail to recall flood of remin-
!scences to the holy father, whose ca
reer has certainly been an eventful and
illus trious one since that June morning
OF 1921, when he approached the altar

Meet the Wrong Murphy.

Francis Murphy, the temperance lee
turer, was good story teller long be-
fore he went on the lecture platform,
and during his latest visit in Chicago
told story of his first lecture trip to
this city, which Is rather interesting.
Murphy was a young man at the time
of the incident and when it was an
nounced that he was to appear In Chi
cago a number of gentlemen interested
in temperance work concluded to do
all In their power to make him feel at
home. Accordingly, when the train
which bore the distinguished visitor
rolled into the station a committee Of
five men was anxiously looking for the
lecturer, about whom they had heard
much, but whom none of the party had
ever seen. They had been waiting sew
eral minutes when a stout man, with a
dignifled bearing, alighted from the
train.
That's he," exclaimed one Of the
committee, excitedly, and the party
rushed over.
as this Mr.. Murphy" queried the
spokesman.
Mr.. Murphy admitted the soft I'M
parchment and In a twinkling was In
q carriage, with his numerous satchels
and telescopes slowed safely In front
of him.
"You must stay at my house." said
one of the party, while you are here"
and the invitation was repeated by
every man in the committee, but Mr.
Murphy said that he would 60 to
hotel, and was driven to the Grand
Pacific, whore he was shown to the
best room the house afforded. On the
way to the hotel he was profuse In his
expression of delight over the hospita-
bic manner In which he had been re-
ceived.
81 was told" he said, that would
find that Chicago people were the most
warmhearted and hospitable In the
country, but l was totally unprepareo
for such reception as you have gwen

all seated he stepped to the bell ana
when a boy answered his ring gave
him an order in an undertone and then
returned to his seat.
Presently the boy raped and when
Mr.. Murphy yelled Come In" he ap-
peared with quart bottle Of cham
payne and box of cigars. No sooner
had the guests seen the contents Of the
tray than one Of them said:
SIS 1t possible, Mr.. Murphy, that you

"Well, guess we can finish the bot
tie between u.s." answered Murphy.
'But are you not Francis Murphy,
the temperance lecturer"
Not on your life. I'm Joe Murphy,

The committee retreated in great dis
order.
"And all that time" adds Francis
Murphy, mournfully, 81 was carrying

His Ceaseless Love and Kindness.

MS NehoCACsb A<Of0 Ah1
When we consider how innumera BILE
are the good things that the Lord con-
tinually bestows on as, man must be a
most thankless creature not to give
thanks to the Lord and to return His
ceaseless love and kindness. That we
might be happy here the Lord has made
this universe, and all the good and
beautiful things we see In 1t. For this
he sends sunshine and rain, the wind
and snow; for this, when the time
comes, He breathes again from his
natural sun and warns the earth; He
breathes from the sun Of heaven and
gives life to the flowers and the trees,
the grass and the herbs of the field,
and they all grow and increase and
bear blossom and fruit, each according
to Its kind and degree, to sustain and
cheer man and beast.

A True Christians Thoughts.

A Christian of the right sort thinks
that every one Is like himself; he looks
on every one as good whose wickedness
he is not thoroughly convinced Of; he
hardly ever suspects, and never Judges
i'll of others. He does his duty and
leaves the rest to God. The impure
man thinks that they are all like HIM
self, and that they have the same
thoughts, the same meaning In their
words and conversation as he has; a
treacherous fatterer trusts no one,
through fear Of being deceived; an
impatient, quarrelsome, passionate
man takes every sour look, every
thoughtless word, as an insult. A proud,
conceited man, whose only idea is to
have a high position in the world,
thinks that every one Is trying to fore
stall him. In word, just rs looking
through a red or blue glass makes ev-
erything appear red or blue, so each
one will judge another according to the
vices to which he himself is subject.
Hence, when he has discovered fault
in his neighbor, his memory SEXES hold
of 1t at once. His Imagination paints it
much blacker than 1t really is, and on
the first opportunity that offers he will
talk about 1t, either because it gratifies
him to see that another Is subject to
the same fault as himself or because he
Is so full of hatred and envy that he
cannot bear to see any good qualities
in him.

God Still Holds His Place.

AL the present Jay you can dpprOdcu
a truly religious man and face him
with any amount of discouraging statis-
tics You can tell him that fewer peo-
pie are attending church. You can
point to the mighty power of the press
and say that the power is increasingly
used for the purposes Of evil, and still,
after you have said your worst, you
cannot compel your religious man to be-
lieve the worst or to believe that that
mighty agency Is to have any other
power than to fulfill the purposes Of
God in the world. You can point to the
Institutions Of religion. You may say:
Here Is a flaw, or here Is a defect"
you may say that religion. Is failure
and that life Is not worth living; and
still the man who has been introduced
to God will only smile at your words,
He knows, because he knows God, that
this universe Of ours Is, in spite of its
defects, but fulfilling the great the
divine will of Him who was and Is and
is to be. And the spirit Of great hope
fulness will take possession of the soul
of a religious man just in proportion
as he finds himself In the presence Of
these things which are dark and dis
couraging. He will confess that, so far
as the universalities of life are con-
cerned, nothing is palmer than this,
that God, the God of love, still holds
His universe, In every department in
the hollow of His hand; that His will is
to be done in earth as in heaven, and
that His kingdom Is to come here that
1t may come there.-Dr. Nehemiah

A REMARKABLE FIND.
The Petrified Body of Man Found
in Marshall County.

A human body changed into stone
is the wonderful curiosity that D: NJ.
Williams and Richard Omand dis
covered on Monday this week in
town of Bloomer, fifteen miles north
west of Warren. They were digging
ditch for a culvert Oh the public
highway, opposite the McPheran
farm, when they, about * feet from
the surface, struck a hard substance
which upon further examination re-
vealed itself to their surprised eyes
as being Of. the shape Of a human
being. A large number OF the neigh
bors soon gathered and saw the
petritied form taken out from it's
place OF repose in the soft alkali clay
or mud which surrounded it, and can
testify to the genuiness Of the discov-
cry, among them being Robert salter,
Joshua and John Laurie, Oscar Lar
son, Charler Anderson and William
Lee, all residing in the neighborhood.
The finders brought the sstone-dead
corpse to Warren the next day, and
it is now on exhibition here. Hun
dreds Of our people have seen it and
pronounce it a genuine petrifaction.
Who the man was, when he lived,
what is his history and how he came
to be buried on the lonely prairie in
this county, evidently long ago, we
can not tell, but nature has certainly
preserved to us his form and features
in a far more perfect condition than
that OF any Egyptian mummy en-
balmed by the hands OF man. Teeth,
finger nails, mustache and even the
color and texture Of the skin show
plainly. 1t is splendid specimen Of
man, five feet nine inches tall, mus
cular and well proportioned. A hole
in the chest might Indicate that he
had been shot, perhaps murdered,
and the position Of the hands and
arms, the left resting on his chest
and the right stretched out along the
side, the hand resting on the thigh,
would show that he had received a
white mans burial. He was evident
ly a white man or half breed, per-
haps one Of the early French or
Canadian voyageurs who roamed
over the great Northwest century
and more ago.
