pulse is properly felt, we feel assured
that new building. largely increased d

blessings will follow.
This is a rich field Of labor for those
who have the spiritual and physical
welfare Of young men close at heart To
work 1t successfully the hall must be
inviting and centrally located In short,
3 place which young man can reach
without going too far out Of his way
Such place win cost large sum Of

The Sons of areat mem.

It is an indisputable fact that the sons
Of great men very rarely equal their
fathers. In either intellect or ability and
In view Of this fact Is 1t rot surprising
that man like Prince Bismarck should
appear so deeply disappointed at the
possible failure Of the male line in his
familyi The prince has two sons, Counts
Herbert and William Bismarck, neither
Of whom possess, even In a small degree,
the greatness of their father They are
respectable. cultivated men and that Is
about all. Count Herbert is the father OF
two daughters and Count William has
three, the third of whom should have
been boy to crafty his grsndisther's
ambition and inherit his name and prop
erty.
1t has always seemed a wise dispense

reason have possessed the greatness or
the virtues of their founder, and would
not s.fsmlly Of weddings have desrRotsd
from the fame of their great head, who
will ever live as the one Washington In
the hearts OF the American peoplel Still,
1t is not always true that great mems
sons are not worthy Of them. There are
some notable exceptions to rule which
Is thought to be almost universal.
This fact is best III ustrAtsd by the
Adams family, which possessed three
generations Of really great men; two OF
whom, father and son, were Presidents OF
the United States. Another notable ex
ception is that Of the Beecher family
Lyman Bsscher was the Creates It Congrs

Henry Ward Bsecher, still greater ons
