WHAT WILL BE THE END?
The Eastern Question May Be
Nearing It's Solution.
Should Greece Persist In Stirring Or
strife I'm Macedonia the Great
Powers Would BE Compelled
to Take Sides.
Especial Letter.l

To speak of what may be the ulti-
mate outcome of the present misunder-
standing between Greece and the great
European powers would be idle specu-
iation. Every day may bring with it
developments disastrous to the Hellenic
kingdom or to the peace of Europe.
Events in the past have proved be-
You'd the shadow of doubt that the
so-called European concert" Is an
iridescent dream. The people of Italy,
for instance, are SO heartily in favor of
Greece's claims that the government
could not live a fortnight should it
attempt to take sides against the army
of liberation in Crete. Public opinion
in Great Britain and France is also with
the Greeks who, standing alone and
unsupported, rushed to the defense of
their prosecuted brethren in Gambia,
under the leadership of Prince George
of Greece.
Admitting, for the sake of argument,
that Greece was selfish in its work of
rescue, that it cared more for the an
hexation of the naturally wealthy is
land than for the sufferings of its in

SERVING OUR GENERATION.
To DO This Well should BE Our High
est Aim.

To DO This Well should BE Our High
est Aim.
The old conception of personal Chris
tianity was that it meant hardly more
than securing ones own salvation. This
was it's principal aim. Being Of spir-
itual use TO others was involved, but
was secondary in Importance. But now
the purpose of service to others has as
sumed the greater prominence, and it
is held that the surest way to secure
ones own salvation is to spend ones
relf in loyal effort to win others to
Jesus Christ. The personal aim is not
lost to sight. But it is pursued from
new point of view, and it's relation to
other motives is altered. This result
has come about as the result of study
and imitation of Jesus who came mot
to be ministered unto, but to min
ister,' that is, to serve.
OF course, personal conservation is vi
tai if we are to be of any useful spiritual
service TO our fellowmen. We cannot
teach what we do not know. We cam
not be examples of that of which we
have noeXperience. The stream does not
rise higher than it's fountain. It's wa
tiers are not purer than those which
flow from its source. Our actions in
the way of service depend upon our
idea of what service ought to be. They
are not Christlike and spiritually bene-
fetal unless our theory OF service is
essentially like that of Jesus himself.
OF course, too, we must serve our
own generation, that is, the people who
are our contemporaries. Our response
Eility is great, but so is ouropportunity.
We need to be very watchful lest
we fail of doing what, and all,
that we might do. But in serv-
ing our own generation we also
serve the whole human race and the dis
tant future. This truth eleyates the
humblest service to the level of actual
grandeur. Influence radiates indefi-
ritely from its source and continues
eternally. We help or hinder more
persons than we know; thousands, Oft
en-, of whom we never hear. Through
the men and women of to-day, more
over, we reach out to those who are
coming after them and help to share
the motives and the conditions which
are to rule their souls careers.
To say of one, as he dies, that he
served his generation well, in the high
est sense of the words, is to award
him the noblest praise conceivable. For
it Is to say of him that he succeeded in
initiating Jesus Christ. - Congrega-
tionalist.

WOMAN OUTLINES MAN.
Has Greater Vital Tenacity, But Can.
not stand Drink So Well.

not stand Drink So Well.
OF the IA reputed centenarians who
died during the past year no fewer than
IL were women Out of the 1SS per-
sons who were declared as over 90 years
of age at death, 1os were women. The
superior longevity of the female sex
is a well-established fact. To some ex-
tent it depends, of course, on their
more sheltered method of living, but
by no means exclusively, as the women
of the laboring classes show a great vi
tai tenacity as well as those who have
had an easy time of it in the world.
The vital power of girls is displayed in
babyhood, for though about 104 boys
are born to every 100 girls, the females
have more than overtaken the def
cheney before the end of the first year.
In other words, the belief of old nurses
that boys are harder to rear than
girls" is true one.
For the first time another point in
recently been Investigated. This is the
relative periods of sickness in life. 1t
is only lately that there have been any
female friendly societies, hence the sta
tistics as to the days of illness among
women have been largely conjecturai.
But if these figures are 10 be received
as reliable, women have more days of
nonfatal sickness in the year on an
average than men at all periods of life
except between so and 60.
Apropos, a very curious fact has been
unearthed by private committee APP
pointed by the leading life insurance
societies. The subject of their inquiries
was the mortality of persons engaged in
the liquor trades. 1t is well established
that the publicans are at the lowest
point in the list of dangerous trades.
This, you understand, is not teetotal
talk, but fact, and it is curious, because
publicans cannot be drunkards-a man
who is not sober, as that term is gen.
orally received, soon loses his license.
But the new fact revealed by the in
surance societies committee is yet more
inexplicahle; it is that the women who
are engaged on their own account in the
sale of drink are not pearly so injuri-
ously affected by it as the men. AS an
excess of indulgence in alcohol is I'M
doubtedly far more injurious to the fe-
male organization than to the male, it
can only be concluded that the women
who take the responsibility of license
on themselves are endowed with greater
self-control and moral strength than
their compeers of the opposite sex.
Women submitted to the temptation
of the trade in their capacity of wives,
however, do not come out so well. Bar
maids are also affected unfavorably by
their cupations.-London News.

Greek church, the other fourth has EN-.
braced Mohammedanism. Historians
have time and again pointed out the
wonderful "adhesiveness" and fanati-
cism of Moslemism. and to these must
be attributed the success of the minori-
ty. Religious renegades are fierce and
intolerant. and when these misguided
Cretans were encouraged by their
spiritual advisers to strike blows for
the prophet and their holy religion they
became fiends who looked upon the
destruction Of their brethren as work
pleasing to tie eyes and nostrils Of
Allah. The Christians. on the other
hand, have been divided into many
factions. each recognizing its own petty
leader and neglecting to work together

country which, in the hour of dicest

From an international viewpoint the
existing condition of affairs is intense
ly interesting. The powers know that
Greece has several trump cards which
ii can play with great effect should it
be compelled to acquiesce in the pro-
posals to grant autonomy to Crete
under the suzerainty of Turkey. At
the Berlin conference of 1878 Theodore
Delyannis, now prime minister of
Greece, made an earnest plea for the
incorporation of Crete with the Hell
lemic kingdom. He warned the states

habitants, the fact remains that it's de-
fiance of Turkey and of Mussulman
fanaticism called to the attention of
the world the pusillanimity of the
great powers" which for years have
stood idly by while the sultan's min
ions massacred tens of thousands of
Christian men, women and children in
Armenia, Macedonia and other prov
inces. The invasion of Crete by the
soldiers of Greece has done more to
impress upon Sultan Abdul Hamid the
uncertainty of his position than all the
collective notes" which have been left
at his palace by the ambassadors of the
powers. 1t has cowed the unspeakable
Turk to such an extent that he is glad
to have the marines of Russia, Great
Britain, Italy, France, Austria and Ger
many act as his police officers and medi-
ators-a proceeding which he would
have spurned few years ago. Whether
Greece Is to receive any immediate ben
eft from its heroic and humanitarian
enterprise or not, the people of Crete
will hereafter enjoy measure of free
DOM equal to that granted a few years
ago to their brethren in Bulgaria. And
eventually, it may be taken for grant
ed, the island will become an inte-
grail part of the Hellenic kingdom.
The island of Crete, in which public
interest is conferred just now, has an
area of about $500 square miles and a
population of 100000. of whom zoe, 900
are Christians. 1t has been essentially
Greek for 1850 years. AS early as 1000
b. G. the Dorilns founded a number of
independent republics on the island,
which were not conquered by the Ro-
mans until 67 B. C. In the partition of
the empire Crete fell to the east. 1t
was conquered by the Saracens in A.
d. 1923, and reconquered in 0G1. When
Constantinople was captured by the
Crusaders the island was given to Bon
iface, marquis of Montferrat, who, in
it against the Turks until 1869, when all
but the mountaineers became subjects
of Turkey. Instructions since then
have been frequent, and in 1880 the is
land was coded to Egypt, but was re-
stored to Turkey in 1911: A general in
surrection broke out in 1858, and in 1866
the entire Christian population joined
in an effort to throw off the Turkish
yoke. In 1865 the powers interviewed to
secure reforms and compelled the sui
tan to grant new constitution, whose
provisions, however, were constantly
ignored by the Turkish officials. An
other attempt to secure freedom and
annexation to Greece was made in 1878,
but again frustrated by the interven-
ton of the powers. A clause was in
serted in the treaty of Berlin promising
extension of the guarantees of 1868.
The Turkish representatives prom
ised faithfully to carry out the re-
forms demanded, but the promises
were only made to be broken. and ever
since 1880 the Cretans have struggled
for liberty,
1t is not generally understood that,
in measure, the warfare in Crete has
been fratricidal struggle. The Turks
never had much influence in the island,
except perhaps in few coast towns.
Most of the fighting has been done by
the "Othomanoi," who are renegade
Christians. Three-fourths of the ma
tive Cretans are communicates of the
