TO the race problem, the speaker said,
IN his Judgment, the government made
great mistake, which it will not be
apt to repeat in the Philippines, when it
put in the hands of negroes all privil-
eyes and franchises of the freest gov
ernmert on the globe. Rev. Charles
Jefferson of New York spoke upon Our
Countfys One Salvation" The follow
ing is part of DIR. Jefferson's address:
We are living in the greatest of CEN
turtles. Now that it seems that God
means us to be leader of nations and
races, 1t looks as if the republic could
not go down. But Greece fell. Rome
fell. The present is no guarantee for
the future. What this nation needs is
more manhood. the MANHOOD OF the
carpenter of Nazareth. God give us
manly men whom the spoils of politics
viii not buy, men who cannot be ruled
by selfishness. What are we going to
do with the liquor traffic? 1t is not new
legislation we want, but great out
pouring Of the spirit that will crush the
liquor traffic.
What shall we do with the great
corporations that -devour the small
ones? Law is not enough. What we
need is love.
What shall we do with militarism,
one of the blackest demons that ever
came out of the pit? They are sick of
militarism, but there are men and wo-
men in America to whom the song of
battle is sweet.
'Militarism is insanity; we can't beat
1t down with argument. Read the life
of the man who rods-not on horse,
for it represented war-but on the ami
NAL that stood for industry and pa
tience. The Prince of Peace told us to
beat the swords into plowshares.
What shall we do with skepticism?
We are surrounded by theosophy,
esoteric Buddhism and other strange
teachings. Let us go to Him who rep
resents truth itself. We have law
enough, intellect enough-no nation
ever had more, but what we need is
higher, diviner, sweeter type of man
hood. Americas great redemption, her
own salvation and love of and obedi-
ence to the man who died on Cal
vary"
This afternoon the juniors had their
innings, both in the audience and on
the. platform. The junior rally was
carried in Tent Endeavor, the Detroit
children who took the leading parts be-
ing massed on the platform to the num-
ber of Thousand and upwards. The
floor was filled with children and their
teachers and leaders. The programme
started with music of The Banner OF
the Cross with great heartiness
Other songs followed the children on
the stage alternating with those on the
floor and then together. World Wide
Christian Endeavor' was illuminated
in a spectaculaf manner. Children
wearing placards and others carrying
banners and other pictorial services
We're successfully brought upon the
speakers platform TO show the remark
able growth of the Christian Endeavor
in the various countries of the world.
A huge map of the world had been sus-
pended at one side and as each country
was represented a boy at work on a
staging marked out that part of the
world by fastening a star over 1t, until
finally the world seemed fairly pas
tered with Christian Endeavor. The
exercises closed with raising together
the British and American flags, fianked
by the flags Of all nations and saluted
by the appropriate bugle call.

s'WheHr3n doubt as TO the genuine
ness of a diamond. said leading
dealer in precious stones to the writer
recently, ''there is only one really re-
liable way by which the expert or the
amateur judge can determine the quail
ity of the article and that is to test It's
hardness by holding it against rapidly
revolving grindstone from five to ten
minutes Then, if the least mark ap-
Y,ears upon the diamond, it is not real
c,tone,. for if it were diamond, so far
from any mark being produced upon 1t,
it would be likely, on the other hand,
to make q deep impression on the
grindstone- The Tame test may also be
made with emery paper or on an emery
wheel, neither of which, although hard
er than a griDdstone, will make any I'M
preston upon a genuine diamond
"This is q good thing for one to re-
member in these days OF manufactured
diamonds. The paste article is now
made with such care that it sometimes
tests the skill of the expert to dlstln-
guish the genuine from the bogus, but
Il the grindstone is brought into play
there can be no room for doubt. Some
people think that if they rob stone
against glass and it makes a deep i'm
preston it is diamond. But nearly all
paste diamonds will scratch glass, and
the limitations of sapphires. rubies and
.erneralds will do the same Washing

Making n Dictionary.


Nearly every one has had the brhghs
Sdea that it must be tremendous
amount of work TO get up q dictionary,
but few have any notion of the real
size of the task When Johnson got bis
famous dictionary started, he calculated
that, with six assistants, he could COM
plete the task In three years 1t took
him nine years instead. He received the
small recompense of $1,000, and had TO
pay his assistants out of that
Webster worked "a years before his
dictionary made its bow to the world
Webster was very punctilious in his
definitions, and so painstaking that 1t
was wonder he completed the work
when he did.
The words which give the compiler
of dictionary the most trouble are the
little one syllable Saxon words Their
history extends back into the Saxon
period, and their meaning has become
twisted in many directions. Words with
pedigrees are the hardest to trace.
When a new dictionary is projected,
one man is selected as editor in chief,
and he appoints his subeditors- Then
appeals are sent out to literary people
in general for voluntary contributions
in the nature of rare and curious words
There are over 1000 people who have
offered their services in the case of q
dictionary now making. They are to
read standard works, ancient and mod
ern, in the search for curious words
their origin and meaning. These words.
written on slips of paper, are filed in
thousands of pigeonholes. Over six tons
Of clips have been put away. This
means 100000 words, but only
1 900, 900 will be printed. The amount
of work necessary TO properly sort these
