them into evangelization.
In the old book, which has become a
new book by reason of modern discov-
cries, especial attention is called to the
islands. Declare the Lords praise in
the islands," commands Isaiah. "Let
the multitudes of the islands be glad
thereof" scys the Psalmist. "-All the
islands Of the heather shall worship
Him." writes Zcphaniah. ''IIe shall
turn His face to the islands" prophesies
Daniel. 1.-The inhabitants Of the isles
shall be astonished at thee" foretells
Ezekiel. Hear it and declare it to the
islands afar off," exclaims Jeremiah.
You see from this the islands are not to
be neglected. Perhaps they are the
Lords favorites, NJ in households *
there is any favoritism at all it is for
the weakest. The islands too small to
take care of themselves have the eter-
nal God to take care of them. Let ma
tons look out how they tread on the is
lands, however small and weak, for
they are omnipotently defended. They
may not be able to marshal large armies
or to send out navies to sweep the sea,
hut better than that. they have the
chariots of Heaven on their side and the

wARM-HEARTED PORTO RIcANs.
Good Place for Youth and Energy.
But Not the Adventurer.

Washington, May lowing to the large
number of inquiries that have been re-
ceived by the members of the insuIar com
mission since their recent return from
Porto Rico, Gen. Robert P. Kennedy has
prepared a statement as to the resources
and conditions in Porto Rico which he
thinks will cover the points upon which
the greatest interest has been manifested.
Concerning the people themselves, Gen.
Knnedy says:
There can scarcely be found upon the
globe a more hospitable and warm-heart-
ed people than those of Porto Rico. They
are in full sympathy with American in
stitutions There is a great deal of pow
erty in the islands, as it is understood in
the United States, but the stories of starry
alton upon the island are baseless fabri-
cations.
while the richer classes live well in
beautifully appointed homes and have been
for the most part educated abroad so that
they speak English, the percentage of IL
hteracy among the poorer classes is very
high reaching 90 per cent.
LAS to the agricultural opportunities, l
should say that not One-tOuTth OF the
lands in the island are now under cult
vation, and thousands of acres remain 10
be given over to husbandry. Lands are
held at good prices owing TO the promise
of an influx of people from the United
States. Stil there is opportunity for
many thousands of persons who really
wish TO engage in agriculture on the ISL
and.
That there are great opportunities in
Porto Rico is unquestionable. To young
men desiring TO seek permanent homes
enterprise Porto Rico offers great in
ducements. But l would discourage the
simple adventurer who expects to reap
quick and unearned reward. Sugar and
coffee both require large outlay in lands,
ma terial and Improvements The promise
of both of these, however, is unequalled
anywhere else in the world.
The opportunities for stock raising Il
appears to me are superior to those IN
almost any part of the United States, and
this without disparagenent to our own
cattle country.
THE climate of the island in my ex-
perience and from what l can gather of
it from records official and otherwise,
is all that could be desired. 1t is warm
in summer and cool winter, and even
the densely populated city of San Juan
is a remarkably healthy place. / look
forward to the time not far distant when
Porto Rico will be not only the tropic
garden spot in the United States, but one
of the most popular winter resorts"

EXPANSION AND OPEN DOOR.

Preachers Are on That Line.

Oh Acts N, 26, And the disciples were

There has arisen new Christianity.

a new style of preaching founded upon 1t.
s InIs Chrlstlanity is illustrated by the in
sututonal church. And the preaching
that mas become popular in these DAYS is
mixed In about equal proportions with
sociology and sentimentality. Instead of
preaching justification by faith ministers
are preaching expansion and open door

Christianity? What is its contents?
The men you will have to meet are
not those who differ on Interpretation. but
the men that deny the truth of the Bible
lhey VIII tell you that Christianity is a
phaSe OF evolution. No wonder. then.
that some preach ethics for Christianity,
for ethics is all they have left. Evolu-
ton began in biology, and it's advocates
are trying TO intrude it in the Bible. Mir
acies are denied, and the incarnation and
resurrection must go with them.
Believe me, you cannot stand bv mere
ly minimizing this doctrine of evolution.
You must take a firm stand upon the au-
thorIty and Instability of the scriptures.
You cannot compromise the matter. The
man who pretends to preach Christianity
and denies the divinity of Christ and the
authority of the Scriptures is either fool
or dishonest.
The religion of mere ethics has nothing
higher to urge for right doing than the
preservation of the social fabric.
''But you must have a solid foundation
a revealed plan of life. You can preach
ethics also, and preach it better than anv-
body else"

New York Marriage,


Baltimore May cardinal Gibbons. in
the course of his sermon at the Cathedral

terized the recent divorce and marriage

papers This is a crime against the law
of Jesus Christ.

Is the same in France, England, Italy,
San Francisco on the Pacific and New
York on the Atlantic. All proclaim the
