A Modern Alva-

The children were delivered from
Egyptian bondage after 400 years, and
it is a strange coincidence that after
100 years of experience Of Spanish
cruelty and extortion the time has come
for Cuba to be delivered. This republic
stands fer freedom, the defense of the
weak, and its high destiny is to help
the oppressed and the downtrodden.
God is using US as his own right arm
to deliver the Cubans from the domina-
tion Of those who looted Peru and Mex
leo. For the bloody Alva, who desolated
the Netherlands, Spain has substituted
a Weyler, who has rivaled the fifteenth
century butcher. Rev. DR.. Amos John

this beautiful place Is indeed q dif-
ficult task. Going out past beau
tiful Broadmoor to the end of the
electric car line, we found we still
had a mile and half to go before
we came to the Seven Falls, the
most beautiful falls in Colorado
and the chief attraction of Chey-
enne canon. But we were in Colo
rado and we must see the sights,
no matter at what cost to comfort
and pocket change. So, mounting
a burro, with Gail on behind,
astride, and the rest of the party
afoot, we started, and soon found
ourselves IN the canon. We had
not realized, from what we had
been told, the beauties of the
place. We passed through the
toll gate and on between the noun
tains of solid rock till we came to
the falls, and here we stood SPELL

There are over 800 steps, almost
perpendicular, to be climbed be-

much toiling and resting and 60
ing on again, we reached the top,
and after looking around for 4fehen
Hunt Jackson's grave (Which was
originally on the top of Cheyenne
mountain), we retraced our steps.
Coming to the head of the falls,
we stopped a moment to gather
fresh courage before starting down
the steep descent. Slowly we went
down, stopping when we got half
way "a dizzy height between
earth and sky''-to look at the
punch bowl" the hollow sides OF
the huge mountains of solid rock
that lowered hundreds of feet
above us, and down at the Sever

War Mako Hope For che Race.


One of the redeeming features of war
is that often it affords illustrations Of
disinterestedness and makes US hopeful
of our race. 1t rebukes that most con-
temptible of all PHILOSOPHERS that men
never act except with the motive of
personal advantage. This spirit of dis
interestedness is the spirit of the cross.
1t is what has given Christ so firm and
enduring hold on the hearts of men.

ary. Johnnie was Just going to pull it
down and look at it when they heard

Caroline's eager little eyes suddenly
came very close to her sisters face.

"Why, Car'line! how are you going to

I'm going over there and climb in at

peared to be protesting, but, as usual,
she was overruled by her stronger-willed
sister.
Jameson Hesley, the glue factory
mqgnate, sat in his summer house visi-
ting with some half foreign relatives,
his brother Toms children. Their Span
ish mother had recently sent them from
South America to be educated. He was
in excellent spirits and he talked with
them. The added grace of their Span
ish ancestry had made them fattering
pictures of the Healeys. The big, fierce
whiskered man occasionally felt his eyes
moisten at he looked at them. He saw
before hi the brother and sister of his
childhood, the old Tom and Miranda

and began to walk slowly up and down
the avenue. The boy arose and looked
meditauvely toward the factory.
Through the mist of the damp evening
the old schoolhouse could be seen hum
bly, nestled in the rear of the larger
buildings.

Jane Harmon accompanied her sister
upon the dictionary raid with fear an i
trembli z. Her fair face had an anxious
look and she saw strange shadows Gid
ing among the mist-ensh GUIDED bushes.
When they arrived at the little school
house she clutched her sisters rments
nervously. The huge glue factory, with
it's rank odors from the uncouth heaps
about it, was strange monster in the
iusk, and the schoolhouse leered gre
sesquely as the fog from the river cOiled
about it. Caroline hurried around it and

1t grows pure and perfect by loving. The
more we love God the more we become
like Him. The more we love God the
more and the better we shall love our
fellowmen. The love of God is the
revelation of all good.
The divine plan Of life is TO bring us
home at last into the glorified Kingdom
of rest, and joy and peace. But rest
implies that we have labored; joy sug-
gests that we have known the experience
of sorrow; peace comes as the conclu-
sion of conflict and strife; the crown of
life ia won by bearing the cross of Christ.
