l le tilll5 Lltiltt tOilSCICuCt lS t1SH, the thing to be desired. If we love to deceive ourselves we will keep con- science darkened. We will keep it care fully shut away from the new light which pastor John Robinson said should yet break forth out of Gods Holy Word Gods word breaks forth to-day from unnumbered sources, and the enlightened conscience will not be shut up against these words. It will not be shut up against the light which is struggling forth out of our political chaos, nor against the light which shines out of every defeat and victory of reform movements. The enlightened conscience will not close it's blinds as the sun of an improved social life be- gins to rise with healing in his rays.
 But conscience will need all it's en- Iightenment to judge wisely It will not always judge wisely in the future any more than it has in the past. The Spirit of Christ is the chief enlightener of conscience, but even that cannot be a guarantee of human infallibility; for although he may teach his disciples all things, we are never quite sure how perfectly they have learned them; al though he may lead them into all truth, they may not follow perfectly where he leads
 There is therefore this practical gain for us of to-day to make. It was not lost sight of by our Pilgrim Fathers. and it will not do for us to lose sight of it. There must be practical gains in that enlightenment of the mind which gives a broader horizon to life The founders of our Congregational order were men of sufficient breadth of hori- zon sso that they saw some principles and truths which were not seen by their contemporaries. The voice of their con- science spoke in the light of what they saw. After they had seen the truth

PINGRFE'S POTATO PATCH


 A subscriber sends the following taken from the Union Signal:
 The first summers trial of "Pingree's potato patch" in Chicago has proved success. Forty acres of vacant land in the vicinity of Englewood have been, under the supervision of the farm com mittee of the Bureau of Charities, util- ized by the very poor of that locality for the raising of vegetables, the soil being prepared and seed furnished by the committee. The persons thus helped number about nine hundred, those of American birth heading the list Crop returns have exceeded eX- pectatiOns and the money expenditure has been about two dollars for each farm" The good accomplished how ever can not be estimated in money value. To say nothing of the moral iI.- 1iuence of the work, the families helped are all from those who have been constant recipients of assistance from charities. They have lived through the summer without other aid than their gardens and have, in most cases, enough vegetables to carry them we'll through the winter. The commit tee will secure more land as soon as possible and it is believed the enter prise can very soon be made self-sup- porting. The testimony of the twenty two other cities which have tried the Pingree scheme is, so far as heard from, quite as satisfactory, and it is to be hoped that this very common-sense plan for relieving the poor will be adopted by every city which is wrest- ling with the problem of unemployed labor

Michael and Esther Trump, was born in
Oonnellsville, Fayette county, Pa Sept.
IL, 1918, and died in Hillsboro, o June
8. 1897, in the S4th year of her age, She
was reared in the Protestant Episcopal
Church. She was married to Henry
Detwiler, of Pennsylvania, in 1885, and
became a member of the Methodist
Church. Her house was headquarters

Moore, @. A. Holmes and others ever
remained fresh and green in her mem
ory. In 1851 she was left widow with
five little children, son, with whom she
has made her home for twent five years,
and two daughters, Mary and Mrs. w.
M. Clayton, of Washington, D. G., whom
sickness prevents being present. During
the forty.six years of widowhood no
murmur has fallen from her lips, but
with an unflinching trust she has leaned
upon God and his promises (marked in
her old and we'll used bible).
She was firm, though modest and
quiet in nature, generous, thoughtful
and kind, true Christian, whose life
ever gave testimony of her faith. Every
thing was done for her comfort possible
by her noble, devoted daughter Mary,
who seldom left her presence, and by
her faithful son and family, at whose
home she had lived for thirty five years
She died in great peace. Among her
last utterances we're words like these:

"He will supply all my wants."
"He will never leave me nor forsake
me-"

can Review for May by Col. w. F. Mason
McCarty, whose thorough acquaintance
with life in the land of the Car estab.

The developement of Russia into great

Constantinople as it's future capital, is,
Colonel McCarty maintains, the para.

of the Council OF State. The possibility
of general war in Europe imbues this
idea with additional interest.

HELPING NEEDY Hesaewa


First Instal1nent ef Ililllon-DsllaR
Hirsch Fund Received.
Myer 8. Isaacs, president of the Baron
de Hirsch fund, has received draft
for $25O,OOO. the first installment Of
the $1.0O0,O0O given by Baroness de
Hirsch for the benefit of the poor of
New York city. Nothing has as vet
been definitely decided by the trustees
of the Hirsch fund as to the manner
in which this additional million dol
lars will be used. Mr.. Isaacs said that
the money, would be used to improve the
condition of the poor of New York in
any way which experience would die
tate. The work now being done with
the funds given by Baron de Hirsch will
be extended and an effort made to bet
ter the condition of the tenement house
dwellers. Whether, however, model ten
ement houses will be erected or the in
habitants of the poor quarters of the
city benefited in other ways, Mr.. Isaacs
could not say. Mr.. Tsaacs and his CO.
workers are fully alive to the danger
Of forcing charity on people, and also
to the necessity of extreme care in Sc
lecting those worthy of assistance.
Most of the direct aid is distributed
through the medium of the trade
schools supported by the Hirsch fund,
cases requiring assistance being re-
ported through the instructors of these
institutions. The chief object of the
money given by Baroness de Hirsch is
to encourage dwellers in the crowded
sections of the city to migrate into the
country, and the trustees will prob
ably devote a large portion of the
money to developing the work they
have already begun of enabling those
disposed to agriculture to buy and
stock their farms.

ed and are "at rest forever" "Her
weary feet have completed their jour.
ney." The silver chord has been loosed
but not severed, for it seems to bind our
hearts closer to heaven.
The golden bowl has been broken but
the incense of her life will still linger in
our home.
It is sad time for US who shall often
long for the "Touch of vanished hand
and the sound of voice that is still"
The hand that was always busy, not for
herself, but for others. The hand that
fashioned quaint garments for our dolls,
and mended our broken toys in our
childhood days. The hands, that in later
years sewed for US, and knitted for us,
and mended the torn places, not only in
our garments, but often in our lives as
we'll. That busy, useful hand has in.
deed vanished. The voice that never in
all our lives spoke single angry or un.
kind word is indeed silent fof US, but is
now singing glad song ofvictory before
our Fathers throne.
What happiness for her to greet her
husband and children!
"What knitting severed friendships
up, where partings are no MORE"
There she will never be sick or tired
again as she was here, for she said that
the burden of her "a years was q heavy

For her the allegro of life had died

at last "The peace, peace" of everlasting
rest.
She is not dead. For her
''There is no death
What seems 30 is transition,
This life of mortal breath

Whose portals we call DEATH"

"Within her Fathers mansion,
| Clothed with celestial grace
| And beautiful with all the souls expansion
| Shall we behold her face"
