Cling in the o~ver-crowded industrial
and commercial centers of the east,
than TO our independent western set
tiers. Hence the question is en-
phatically a national one. Irrigation
is o an experiment in any sense. 1t
has been the basis of the most splendid
civilization of the ancient world. There
are ~irrgating canals OF this continent
that have been in operation over 800
years. We have got beyond the ex-
perimental stage. If congress would
take hold of the question with the cour-
age and patriotism that its greatness
demands. we might soon see tremen-
dous and far reaching results.-Denver

The appointment of State Engineer
Elwood Mead to be chief assistant and
consulting engineer to A. c. True, I'm
tied States director of experiment sta
tons, for the purpose of planning and
carrying outgovernmentirrigatio pro-
iects in the west, will be regarded with
favo. by all who are Interested in the
development of the arid region, or the
larger national question, the conserva-
tion of the waters and forests of the
great west. Prof. Mead has given years
OF practical study to these problems
and is undoubtedly the best equipped
man in the country for the position as
signed him and will render the govern
ment services of great value.
The importance of the irrigation
question Is not yet realized by the
country at large. There has been a
tendency to narrow it down to local
conditions and sectional interests.
That the whole nation is concerned in
it's settlement is fact beginning to be
recognized By the proper utilization
OF western waters under government
supervision, homes can be erected for
100, 200, 900 Of people. The essence of the
American system is the idea Of provid-
ing happy homes for a race of freemen.
ITO promote the general welfare" is the
grandest stated provision of the consti-
tuition and the ultimate purpose of all
legislation and government should
be to better the environment of future
and improve their conditions.
Such an object demands the best
thought and the aid of the entire nation
and the success of the movement is of
more importance to the masses strug-

A short time ago the Cheyenne Tri-
pune, a oracle of no mean re
pute. published an editorial saying, in
erect that so far as its note issue was
concerned the bank of France was on
the silver basis. This result was
brought about, it said, through the ac-
ton OF the bank in paying its notes in
silver instead of gold. We have look

bune article and have at last come to

CHRISTIAN ENDEANOR.

Topic For the Week Beginning Aug. es.
Comment by Rev. ;. IL. Doyle.
ToPIo.-"With your might "-Eccl ia, IL;
John iv, 27-S5,
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do It with thy might for there is no
work nor device nor knowledge nor wis
dom in the grave whittier thou goest"
lEccl. tx, 10).
This exhortation Of the wise man sug
gests to us what we are to do with our
might and a reason why we are to do it.
l. What we are to do with our might,
Whatsoever thy hand tindeth to do.
We are to do what lies to our hands,
what we have the opportunity and the
ability TO do. "Whatsoever" is both
limited and comprehensive. 1t limits us
to our abilities and opportunities The
impossible may be possible to God, but
God does not expect imposSibilities Of
man. But He does expect US to do what
we have the opportunity TO do. To
dream If great lmpossibiiities will not
excuse u for neglecting or refusing 70
do the possible duties of life. "Whatso-
ever" is also comprehensive 1t includes
the duties If the schoolroom, the home,
the business world, the work of God
kingdom and the work OF developing the
spiritual life of the man.
2. Why we are to do the work of life
with our might. Because there is no OPP
portunitv to do it in the grave. This is
the day Of our opportunity. The night
is coming when no man can work. II
the work Of life is done at all, it must
be done now. This is sad and melan-
cholv reason for doing the work of life
and for doing it well. Christ in Iohn
iv, "a, gives much loftier reason. My
neat" He says, lis to do the will of
i'm that sent Me and to finish His
ork. = 1t is Gods will that we should
do the work of life with our might. In
so doing we are assisting in the work
of God. Christians find another motive
for doing the work of life with their
might in the love of Christ, not SO much
their love for Christ as Christ's love for
them. 1.-The love of Christ constraineth
me-" says Paul, and tho love Of Christ
should so constrain Us as to make 1t i'm
possible for us to do anything else than
with our might, with all the power and
energy of our being to perform the
work and duties of life in all its rela-
tions The work of life is worthy of the
best we have to give. Success cannot be
achieved under any other banner than
with our might" God expects and
demands our best Can VIZ refuse to give
it?

The Story of Life.

Saw, what is life' It's To be born;
haTirSs babe, TO greet the light
With sharp wall rs If the morn
Fcrctold u cloudy noon and night:
To weep, to sleep and weep again,
With sunny smiles between, and therf
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy despite his little wees
We're he hut conscious of his joys;
To be, IN short, from TWO to ten,
a merry, moody child, and thcnY
And then in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the Deealogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog;
A truaut oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies, and thenf
And then, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, youth full grown;
A hero N his mother eyes,
A Young Apollo In his own;
To initiate the Ways Of men
In fashionable Sins, and thcnY
And them at last. to be man;
To fail in love to wao and wed;
With seethinc brain Ia scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue fer fame with tongue u pen
And gain or lose the prize, and then2
And then in gray and wrinltled cid
To mourn the speed Of life decline;
To praise the scenes his youth beheld
And dwell in memory Of lang syne;
t. dream awhile with darkcned ken
Then drop into his grave, and them

The Test of Patriotism.

The real test Of men and nations
comes in quiet days. If then they are
faithful, they are fit for sudden alarms
and trying strain If after the excite
ment has died ont the soldiers are at
home again, the ships put off their bat
tie color and sail on peaceful errands up
and down the highways of the sea-lf
then We as people are ready TO devote
ourselves to the nation highest good.
these lives Of brave men and these bro
ken homes will not be too large price
to pay for the ends attained But If
patriotism dies with the excitement, If
we are pulled up, not sohered. by the
responsibilities that follow after vic
tory, then our triumph will be of little
avail either for ourselves or others. 1t
Is in peace that men prepare for war,
and self devotion now will be Of small
avail unless it lives III quiet days as
we'll as in excitement, unless the sense
of duty that by the witness of the honor
that we pay the dead BELTS the battle
becomes the rule of home and mart, Of
social life and political activity as well.

Unrest is not modern 1t is as ancient
as the carnal mind Carual unrest can
not be removed by resting from work.
We cannot rest from worry till we are
cleansed from carnality. Too many are
too lazy now TO need any eXhortation to
rest from work, even under the plausi-
bic guise of devoting working time to
worship. We may pray too little, we
may worry too much, but we can hard

Church Attendance.

Is church attendance on the decline?
So say some papers, and so say some
preachers who happen to see the dark
side of things in their own parishes.
The question may be answered both
ways In some large cities it may be on
the decline; i'll others on the increase.
In some sections of our large cities it is
falling off; in others it is growing. In
congregations where the gospel is not
preached i'll truth and i'll earnestnesS it
declines; in congregations where the
pastor delivers his gospel message as if
it We're sent direct from God it grows.
