The enlargement of a church at
Quincy, Mich, and its recent rededi-
cation testify anew to the power one
person may exert in community.
Thirty years ago Quincy was but a
hamlet, and the Presbyterian church
being reduced to a single member, the
presbytery dissolved the church and
sent a committee to get the minutes.
Mrs. Patter refused either to give up
the minutes or to be "dssolved."
What the presbytery should do" was
her plucky answer, SIS to send US a
minister" Her advice was taken, and
today the church is happy, hopeful and
fourishing. 1t lived simply because
one earnest Christian woman would
not let it die.

AFTER A STORM-THE CALM


Since early In the Summer months this
country has been profoundly stirred by q
political excitement which has had no par
allel since the formation Of the government.
The storm, however, has subsidized, and with
it the violent outbursts of party prejudice,
party rancor and party enthusiasm. 1t is
well that 1t is 80. This is government Of
the people and for the people, and with a
decided expression of their choice there
should follow patriotic and manly obedi-
ence to the will Of the majority.
AS our government is not one Of force,
but Of consent, 1t expects from all of It's citi-
zens a ready obedience TO the expressed
will OF the people. He who violates 1t is
false TO bis country, to himself, and TO his
race. 1t can only be preserved by cultivat-
ing profound regard for lie spirit. A calm
has followed the great storm and the coun-
try gracefully submits to the verdict. The
ocean sometimes exhibits q wild sublimity
This great highway of nations Is sometimes
seen in majestic repose, whitened with the
sails Of busy commerce-so, as peace and
quiet has come again TO the people Of the
ireest and highest nation Of the earth, all
feel that 1t is part of their duty and interest
TO assist the nations patriotism, honor and
wealth-do this and we are sure 10 crown
the pursuit Of noble ends by noble means.

A RIOH MANS LIFE.

Many thousands of persons, no doubt,
have wished that they were John d. Rookie.
Teller. He Is said 10 be the richest man In
the United States, aid one OF the richest In
the world, and they have envied him his
supposed good fortune in the possession of
wealth sufficient to crafty almost any wish
he might entertain.
Mr.. Rockefeller, however, Is rather TO be
pitled than envled. He Is indeed poor 10
comparison with the man who earns only q
fair living, eats three square meals day
and sleeps soundly for eight hours at
stretch out Of the twenty four. For while
wealth can buy many things, it cannot buy
that which Mr.. Rockefeller lacks and which
he wonld like most dearly TO have-health.
For some time this fabulously rich man,
made so through an enormous trust comb.
nation, has been the slave Of tyrannical
stomach. He has TO be constantly attended
by his physician. With imported chefs to
load his table with all the delicaces of the
markets, he can only take fresh milk and
crackers in small quantities. With the
choicest vintages Of the world at his com.
mand he must only take little milk warm
water. With his stables full Of the finest
blooded horses, yet he must walk certain
distance every day. He numbers hired
men by the thousands, yet, like the hum.
blest Of them he must work with hoe a
certain number Of hours. 1t Is probably
safe to say that Mr.. Rockefeller would be
willing to give pretty considerable slice of
his fortune to be able TO eat and sleep like
one Of our industrious farmers.
This is one side Of the rich mans life that
seldom comes into view and is never thought
of by those who wish for great fortunes
Mr.. Armour, another trust man, Is having
an experience similar 10 that of Mr.. Rock.
efeller. During the years that he was drIv-
ing at high pressure TO accumulate fortune,
he ruined his health. Now 1t is said that he
is hardly more than physical wreck, with
doctor constantly at his elbow, and the
plainest food as the only nourishment.
Good health is infinitely more desirable
than great wealth. The laborer whose In.
come is sufficient for his needs, whose mus
Giles are hard, digestion good and conscience
clear, is better of than the personages we
have named.

The war taxes are TO be maintained for

would cash up handsomely for the Repub-
iican campaign fund, they would be treated
literally as soon as Congress convened. The
joke is completely on them, and they ought
10 enjoy it.
