gatory or heaven. The appalling fact
about life is not Its moral indifference,
but It's moral inexorableness. Behind
every act, no matter how insignificant,
God seems to be standing, and every
thing we do becomes part Of us. We
are better or worse every hour, we are
never morally stationary, because,
whether We think, speak, or act, we are
fashioning ourselves and making our
destiny. We cannot escape the search
ing processes of life; there is no moral
neutrality possible. The universe, as
David Long has declared, Is not vast
enough to afford a hiding place from
God We could bear the spectacle OF
men manned and physically disfgured
by their sins; what we cannot bear is
the moral disintegration which silently
destroys them. There is nothing more
tragic than the lingering death OF a
human spirit while the body still lives
and thrives; the loss OF honor, honesty,
purity, sweetness; the relentless decay
Of all that is sound and beautiful in
mans nature and life. If one who has
access to a library commits an onense
against it, he is deprived of its privil-
eyes; that is the human way of inlet
ing punishment. The divine way Is
very different; the offender is not dis
turbed, the doors remain open to him,
he comes and goes as before, but he
becomes blind! The treasures OF the
library slowly fade from him; his VI
sion grows more and more indistinct,
until it fails and he sees no more. This
is@the appalling fate which befalls the
evil-doer God does not need to watch
him nor keep record of his life; he is,
in his own nature. the most delicate,
sensitive, and infallible OF registers.
Whether lie knows 1t or not, he Is
every day gaining or losing In clear
ness of vision; he is becoming inner,
truer, larger. or he is becoming coarser,
falser, smaller.-The Outlook.

Out in historic Herkimer county the
curtain has just fallen on an economic
tragedy the like of which has seldom,
if ever, been seen in this country. Al
fred Dodge, of Dolgeville, has failed,
and the social system which he planned
and carried out for a quarter of a
century in connection with his mann
moth industries has passed from ex-
istence.
Dolge was a student as well as a
workman, ana had ambitions to found
a colony where he could work out the
theories with which his mind was
filed. Only Yesterday, when taking a
last look at the scenes of his labors,
he condensed the story in this Driei
sentence: my dream was to build up
a vllage-yea, a city-which should
stand out as a worthy product OF Am
ercan civilization and progress, indus
trially, socially, intellectually, artis-
tically and in a humanitarian sense
From small beginning, Dodge, by
his own energy, and working along
the lines which he thus indicated, grad
ually developed at Dolgeville, as the
place came to be called, an industrial
condition that attracted the attention
of the world From the small begin
ming in one old building the plant grew
to huge stone structures. employing
hundreds of skilled workmen.
Eighty per cent of the piano felts
used in the world were made in his
factories. Upwards Of twenty-six hun
dred souls formed the population of
the place. In the year 1898, when the
prosperity of Dolgeville was at Its
height, the net profits of the enter
prises there carried on amounted to
an average of $1S5,000 yearly, and the
original little investment of $4,000 had
increased to an inventoried capitaliza-
ton of nearly S3.nOO,OO0.
All the parts of piano were made,
and well made, in the factories of the
place. Felt, wire, woodwork, castings,
everything connected with the business
of the village was produced by skilled
ard weii-paid workmen. In one short
year these varied and productive in
dustries have practically been Destroy
ed, and the population has been re-
duced to but little more than half its
former proportions.
There is no tone of encouragement
in Mr.. Dolge's voice when he speaks
of the failure that has beggared him in
