Topic nfuence-why to get 1t, how to
get it, how to use il. "-Deut Xxx, 10. Math. v,
1916.
No man lives to himself in this
world. Our lives are constantly coming
in contact with the lives of those about
us and leaving an impress upon them
either for good or evil. Even the weak,
fiuence in life as well as the brave and
strong. In the laws given to govern
God people in battle three classes are
exempted from service and one class is
forbidden to enter (Deut. Xxx, 8. This
is the class of faint hearted and timid.
They were forbidden for fear of their
influence upon others. The law said:
what man is there that is fearful and
faint hearted? Let him go and return
unto his house, lest his brethren's heart
faint as we'll as his heart. " The coward
was not to enter battle lest he should
infect others with his cowardice.
1t is Gods desire that His people
should have influence in the world.
This is one reason why we should seek
influence. 1t is Gods desire and inten-
ton to influence the world for good
through the lives of His people. "Ye
are the salt of the earth, +" He says. "Ye
are the light of the world" Since this
is Gods desire, we should seek to do it.
God never sanctioned putting the light
of Christianity under bushel. His
command is, "Let your light shine be-
fore men, and why? That men may
be thereby influenced for good; "that
they may see your good works and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The best way to get the right kind
of influence is to live a noble, Christian
life. Men today are guided more than
ever by what they are and what they
do The lives of all are closely scruti-
nized. False professions are easily dis
cerned. The eye of the world is keen
and readily perceives the sham coatings
| of hypocrisy. 1t is life that influences
life. Let us, therefore, so live before
| men that they shall see that we have
been with Jesus and be influenced by
| our lives to consecrate themselves tc
Him.
| Our influence should be used for good
We should let our light shine to lead
men to praise God and to believe IL
Him. The Judge of all has pronounced
Judgment against those who use then
influence for evil. 1T must needs be, ,
He says, THAT offenses come, but woe, ;

THE OLD WHERRYMANS CRIME

Everybody In Hamburg knew Bornhold,
| the old wherryman He was called Cap
| tain by courtesy not because he had at
| that particular time-at the close Of the
'90s-any right to the title, beyond being
| the owner OF a small, gaudily painted
wherry.
In the early dawn the old man came
down to the harbor, sat OH one of the stone
steps in the shadow OF tall linden tree,
and waited for something to do He talked
with none Of the other wherTymen, nor with
the porters and T0ustabouts with whom the
place swarmed. They all addressed him as
Captain and treated him with marked
respect.
The Oldham was stiIlhandsome His face
was finely mol1ed and intelligent, and
grief had left lines upon it that distin-
guished him from his fellow-men, rough,
boisterous seafarers of all ages. Those
who knew him said of him that a terrible
misfortune had befallen him at sea when
he was young man. They remembered
that he came home one day with his
good ship, sold it and its cargo, as well
as his beautiful house on the Uhlenhorst.
The residue Of the sale he made over to
the Convent Of the Good Shepherd

ing more was seen Of HMM Hamburg until

peared and installed himself as wherry-
man, with new, tidy wherry.
His hair had grown snow white, and the
once tall, broad figure was bent and gaunt
He isolated himself from everybody andno-
body troubled him. One day his place was
empty-the friendlesS old man had gone
to his rest.
Then somebody came along who knew the
story OF his ilfe, and he related it to the
other wherrymen and sailors, for seafaring
folk a re fond OF listening tc sad and melan-
chOly tales.

AFTER BRITISH MILLIONS
Digging Failed to Locate Hidden

New Jersey Man Who Relieves Red

dent of success.

Washington, n. j., March 2O.-After
wasting years in ayain attempt TO locate
alleged buried treasure upon his farm, near
the village Of Asbury, William NJ Sinian-
ton, the wealthiest farmer in that neigh
borIood, has now turned his attention to
a continuation of the search by means OF
scientific methods.
- Beginning in the first week in April an
electrician will conducta systematic sea rch
over the field in Which sacks of silver are
said to be located, using in the effort
powerful electric magnet and other an
pliances by which the treasure can be
located without excavation
The electrician who will undertake the
work lives in East Orange, " J., and is
associated with George w Thomas Tie
latter some years ago spent thousands Of
dollars in an effort 20 locate the 3oInt
where the old British ship HuzZar went
down in the East River during the Reyo-
litionary war, laden with millions Of sill.
yer in bulk He completed arrangements
with Simanton this week to undertake the
work, and If he Is successful in rec 1vering
the treasure, they will share it equally
The farm whicn Simanton owns was for
mcrly the property of George Richey, long
since dead. Richey's father owned it during
the Revolutionary War. One day band IF
Tories passed through Asbury, with their
mules heavily laden. The sacks strapped
TO the backs OF the mules were filled with
silver, and at night the Tories went to
Richey's farm and buried the sacks i'll a
slate ridge.
RiChey knew nothing Of this occurrence
until some years later, when one of the
Tories returned and asked for permission
TO recover the treasure, Offering 10 give
Richey liberal share for the privilege
The Tory had papers which described the
exact location, but he would n0tiet Ri.hey
see them. RiChey was oversreedy and
thought he could obtain ali the treasure for
himself He guarded the place for months,
and afterward made several attempts to
locate it, but was unsuccessful
Last year the monotony Of continual
digging was broken. Forty feet below
the surface OF the ground the dggers came
upon an old shovel and pick, the wooden
handles of which were rotted away They
were about TO dig deeper when a heavy
rain set 1t which caused cavein, and rem
dered useless all their hard work.
SimantOn believes that the finding OF
the shovel and pick 1corroborates Richey's
story. and his opinion is that these tools
are the ones used by the old man Richey
in his search. Immediately following the

A tiny three year-old girl climbed up into

finally said, In a quiet, sturdy way: II

with emphasis).
After many conjectures, and recalling the
fact that she had been served with q little
