Trust is applied faith. tbs confidence

GIRLS ARE SOLD AT AUCTION.
Some OF the Reasons Why the Cubans
Hate All Spaniards.

Havana, Feb. "a correspondent saw
at Artemisa, Havana province, the 9TH
er day six girls under 16 years Of age
sold at auction to Spanish officers. Two
old women, to all appearance the moth
ers OF some Of the girls, tried to inter-
fere, and were beaten and chased away.
When such crimes are committed, as
they are all over the island, ii is easy
to understand why autonomy is fail
ure, and why no promise from Spain
will ever mollify the deep hatred of the
Cubans towards all Spaniards.
An average of 700 births against $500
deaths every month is the frightful
fact announced by the statistical bu-
reau in Havana, showing the decrease
of population in Havana city and 9TH
er municipalities of the province. For
the smaller cities and towns Of the ISL
and. the average mortality is 10 per
cent monthly. In Guines, for instance,
the total population, including concen-
trados, was 10000 inhabitants, when
Weyler left the island and the mortal
ity has been 1000 monthly.

Comment by Rev. s. III. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Called to whatf How lisa. vi. Is,
Mark 1, 1920
We have In the topical references the
stories of the calling of Isaiah and of
Andrew, Peter, James and John. In the
year that King Uzziah died Isaiah had
wonderful ecstatic vision of God ON His
throne, with the angels about it con-
stantly exclaiming: "Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord of Hosts. The whole earth
is full of His glory" Amid such sur
roundings Isaiah feels his own I'M
worthiness and cries out, Woe is me,
for am undonep' An angel symbolical-
ly purifes him, and he hears the voice
of the Lord, saying, Whom shall !
send, and who will go for us?" And
without hesitation he accepted the COM
mission, saying: Here am l. Send
me-"
AS Jesus was walking along the shore
Of the Galilean sea He saw Peter and
Andrew casting net into the sea, and
said, Come We after Me, and l will
Straightway they forsook their nets and
followed Him. He also called James and
John as they were fixing their nets, and
they left all and followed Him. We
may learn:
/. God calls Christians TO definite,
specific service for Him. These were not
calls to salvation. These men were al
ready servants of God. They were calls
TO definite, specific service of those who
had already consecrated themselves to
God. Isaiah was called to perform some
particular mission for God. The apostles
were called, as Christ said, to become
FISHERS of men," They were called to
become the associates of the Master
while upon earth so that they would be
equipped TO carry forward His work
when He Himself was gone. God calls
Christians to service. 1t is not enough
to be saved. After we are saved we must
work out our own salvation with fear
and trembling. We work not to be
saved, but because we are saved God
has definite specific work for each
servant of His to do, and happy is that
servant who knows it and does it.
2. God calls men to service in differ
ent ways. There is vast difference be-
tween the call of Isaiah and that of the
apostles. In the one case there is the
wondrous ecstatic vision and under the
excitement of such surroundings the
dramatic call, "Whom shall send?"
and the response, Here am /; send me. I"
In the other instance, as men are en-
gagged in the ordinary duties Of life,
Jesus quietly says, Follow Me, and
they as quietly left all and followed
Him. God may call in different ways
yet it is God who calls us. If it is not
with the same voice by which another
has been called, we are not to fail to
hear God in it. Every call to duty, to
service, is call from God, no matter
how it comes. Let us initiate the exam
Piles of Isaiah and the apostles in their
prompt and faithful responses.

DIDN'T WANT THE HOPS.
The Grower Evidently Knew q Good
Thing When He saw 1t.

This hop story is too good TO keep,
and it is true 10 the letter. A few years
ago Burlington hop grower came into the
office of our neighbour A Lane, with
sample of his hops. just harvested and
baled He asked il he was buying hops
Yes, he was The sample was then shown
and the question asked what would he
give for them
They are so poor" said Mr.. Lane,
that can make you no offer for them, y
II know they are little off color, " said
the grower But certainly you can pay
something for them Make me an offer.
"No, really cannot. There is no mar
ket for such hops
Cant you give me 10 cents for themf"
II cannot.
well, that's rather tough. But you
can tell me what / better do with the
hope.
my advice TO you is this: Do not show
that sample TO any one else 1t will give
your hops bad name But go home, keep
quiet about them, and the first buyer that
comes along and makes you an offer, don't
talk about the hops, but take him up at
once"
1t was about this time that Mr.. Lane
had employed new and rather inexperi-
enced man, who. however, was a hop grow
er, to go out and buy him 100 bales Of
really choice hops at not over 10 cents
A few days later the Burlington grower
drove up to the Iron Clad on a load of hops
and shouted out, II say Mr. Lane, where
will you have these hops taken?"
What hops-not those you offered TO
sell meY'
"Sartin sure. squire, the same hops.
but did not buy them?"
"True, but your agent did, and sup
posed there must have been a pretty big
rise in few days"
Take them down TO our storehouse and
come in for your money"
This was done. and then Mr.. Lane said
to his Burlington customer: " Here is your
check. have done you favor, and now
/ will give you the opportunity to do me
one"
what is it9 I'd like to accommodate
you If / cam
"It is this: You draw the money on this
check, deposit it to your credit, give me
your check for half the money and then
draw your hops away and sell them &c
some one else-perhaps for Is cents. "
THANK you, squire. But l believe
don't want TO buy those hops. "-Coopers

STATUE Of
GIOVANNI TURIN HAS COMPLETED
ONE FOR VENEZUELA.

Will Shine ir "fracns-figure About For
ty Feet Higt VIII Be Cast In Bronze.
Pedestal to he Twenty Feet High-To
BE Illuminated by Electricity.
Giovanni Turin, sculptor of New
York, recently completed statue of
Liberty for the government Of Venezue-
la which will be placed in the public
square in Caracas
The statue was contracted for by the
Venezuelan government about a year
and half ago, and ever since the sculp-
tor has been putting into shape his ideas
of the allegorical Miss Liberty. His
conception is somewhat different from
that of Bartholdi, whose creation en-
lightens the world from her pedestal in
New York harbor. Bartholdi sculptured
the French ideal for North America,
and for South America the idea of an
Italian, Miss Liberty draped with re-
gard TO warmer climate, will form the
allegorical figure.
This new statue of Liberty is the re-
suit of a suggestion made to the Vene-
zuelan government by President Crespo,
who will retire from Office in January
The government was favorably impress
ed with the suggestion and at once
communicated with Mr.. Turini, who
has made several other statues, eques-
trian and otherwise of the heroes of
Venezuela, now occupying places in the
plazas ana other public places in Cara
| cas-.
Venezuela has been liberal to art in
honoring her heroes, and not only her
| own heroes, but those of other lands
| whose qualities and deeds are admired
| because of the ideas they fought for. A
statue of our own Washington occupies
one of the most prominent places in its
capital city, the plaza Washington in
Caracas taking its name therefrom.
| Miss Liberty of Venezuela will not
be as gigantic as Miss Liberty of the
| United States, but she will be majestic
enough to command attention. The
statue now being cast in bronze is about
40 feet in height, and it will rest, when
| placed on the eminence of the plaza in
Caracas, on a granite pedestal 90 feet
high. From its commanding position il
will be in view from all parts of the
Venezuelan capital.
Mr. Turini's idea of Liberty is that
she is young woman with a torch, and
he has thus kept within the pale of con.
ventionality, but aside from that his
figure has been executed on rather
unique lines. The drapery permits some
display of the nude figure. There is O
coat of mail covering the upper portion
of the figure, and the left hand carries
wreath.
The torch held by the right hand will
not alone supply the illumination by
night, but the band of seven stars about
| the forehead of the statue will also glow
with the light of electricity, the current
being supplied by plant beneath the
base of the statue. By system of ecu
/ cealed wires the entire statue from base
to crown can also he illuminated Oh
special gala occasions.
Among the recent works of Mr.. Turf
nj is an equestrian statue of Marsha
Lucre, also executed for the Venezuelan
| government. New York Herald.
