CHRIST THE LEADER.
Only Those Who Belong to His Party
Will BE Rewarded

Rev. Father Boniface, of the order OF St.
Francis. celebrated solemn high mass yes
terday morning at Il O'Clock al St. Aloysua
Catholic Church Rev Father Martin Hol-
lahan preached the sermon, which was
founded on St. Luke Xi:14-2S, 'At that
time Jesus was casting out devil and
the same was dumb. And when he had east
cut the devil. the dumb spoke, and the
multitude were in admiration at it."
Rev. Father Hollahan argued that he who
is not with Christ is against him; that he
who gathers not with Christ scattereth

parts-one part for Christ and the other
against him. There is no middle part.

necessary. however, that. We. should stand
out in the streets day after day and pro-
claim loudly our belief 10 Christ, who came
on earth for Gods glory. Christ came to
teach all men that there was a God, who
vas creator and master, and the first thing
was to serve this God. II was Christ's in
tention to spread Gods kingdom. Why
did he come here to die and what does
Christ claim? He claims souls.
Every man who follows the doctrines
OF the church is a true soldier Of Christ.
Wherever your interest is there, also is
Christ's interest. BE our interests on the
streets. in the shops. in the palaces in the
slums or in the councils Of States there
are also the interests Of Christ. There ar

and the very first thing is TO look out for
the salvation Of our soul Your charity
will prompt you in a thousand different
ways your bravery will be tested in many
ways before you prove Yourself a true SOL
dicr Of Christ. Christ will be watching
your conduct and will see what you haze
done for him TO prove yourself his friend.
He judges you by whether YOU have been
for or against him.

DIR. RADCLIFFE's SERMON.
Parable From the Text 81 Hear
That There Is Corn in EEypt"

The congregation at the New York Ave
nue. Presbyterian Church yesterday morn
ing listened to fine sermon. preached by
the pastor, DR.. Wallace Radcliffe. Select
ing his text from Genesis xxx FL hear
that there is corn in Egypt" He drew the
parable that the words were intended to
convey more than the bare context indi-
Gated. that they meant that there was
mama for the hungry soul, II only that
soul would seek it out
The body and blood Of Jesus Christ are
the mama for which we must seek he
said, and if we seek We shall find. God
gives us the food: he points out the way
in which it may be obtained. but he forces
no man to take 1t. That is left entirely to
the man. II he hungers, he will find the
food which Christ has laid up in store for
his use. Go out, brethren. and gather the
mamma Of salvation. feed the hungered
spirit and be saved.
The mama that the wanderers found
when they went down into Egypt meant
more than mere food for their bodies; il
meant the present enlightenment Of the
world, it meant the magma charta; it
meant the Declaration Of Independence; it
meant The Constitution of the United
States; it meant all these things and
more. for il was the food of those men
that enabled them to live and 20 beget
posterity which is represented here today
in this enlightened community.
The life Of Jesus Christ was so lived
that it is the only true, pure thing We have
upon which to found our hope Of eternal
salvation. 1t is mama to the hungry; it
is rest to the weary; il is peace to the
troubled While it is free to all who seek,
it is not forced upon US nor is it always
81. f,vf tn he h., haV ~a no
sacred life for his guidance he need only
go forth and find it. and the Saviour will
not overlook him in his search. I hear
that there is corn in Egypt What a world
Of meaning We can gather from those
words if we pause and consider them well.
They mean that for all who would not
perish there is the corn of hope. the corn
of faith, the corn of a righteous life, and
a glorious future; the mama Of eternal
salvation in the bosom of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Let us each seek II, that we may
not perish, but have everlasting life"

THE NEEDS OF PORTO RICO.

Dr. AnieS Says stable Government
Is the Prime Necessity.
In an address delivered last night by
DR. Azel Ames before a large audience at
the First Congregational Church he Incl
dentally referred to the Porto Rican tariff
and said it would be unjust and wanting
in equity if Americas first act toward the
people who came to her with friendliness
was TO impose tax upon them. The prime,
imperative necessity. he said. was a stable
form OF municipal government. Even
colonial form of government would be all
right. he stated. if nothing better could be
obtained. With any kind OF stable gov
erument Dr. Ames thought the Porto Ri
cans would be able to prosper.
Dr. Ames had been in charge Of the sani-
iation of the island under Major General
Miles and smoke Of the condition Of the
Porto Ricans. their needs. and our duty TO
them. he was introduced by the Rev. Dr.
Newman. the pastor of the church.
The inhabitants OF Porto Rico Dr. Ames
said. do not ask charity from America. All
they want is the privilege Of doing for
themselves. II we have taken them into
our household, he said, We must not make
them take seat at our feet, but must
recognize Them as equals. Are they our
citizens or our yassals?" ne asked Shall
we impose tax upon them without giving
Them representation. thus placing them in
a worse position than cur Indians and
Mexican greasers. II would place them
even in a worse position than when under
the control OF Spain, for then they were
represented in the Spanish Cortez. The
voice OF 20 O00. 600 OF American citizens. q"
nr. Ames continued. asks that justice and
right be done the Porto Ricans."
They expect US TO fulfll our promise to
them and we must do sc The injustice
Of imposing a tax. especially on food stuffs
needed by a starving people. he said could
easily be seen. and he was confident that
Congress would not permit such a wrong
Nevertheless. Or. Ames continued al
though a great deal has been said about
the tariff it will cut but very little figure
in the future development Of the island.
What is really needed is a stable form or
government for without this capital will
steer clear OF the island To deny the Por-
TO Ricans form Of civil government, he
said means their utter ruin. In conclud-
ing Or. Ames appealed to the people. TO
Congress. the Church, and the press TO do
simple even handed justice to the Porto
Ricans. Before referring TO the tariff
question DIT. Ames gave brief outline Of
the carly colonization of the island. and
discussed its topography and climate. He
also spoke of the habits and customs Of the
people. who. he said, were docile indus
triuus and thrifty.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little BENEFIT Unless II Is DI-
gcsted.

Nearly everyone viii admit that IS q
nation we eat too much meat and too little
OF vegetables and the grains.
For business men. Office men. and CLERKS.
and in fact everyone engaged In sedentaTy
or indoor occupations. grains, milk. and
vegetables are much more healthful
Only men engaged 20 a severe out door
manual labor can live on heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As a general rule meat once day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women,
and children. and grains fruit. and Fege-
tables should constitute the bulk Of food
eaten.
But many Of the most nutritious foods
are difficult Of digestion and it is of no
use to advise brain workers to eat largely
Of grains and vegetables where the dises-
ton is too weak to assimilate them
properly.
II is always best TO get the best results
\ from our food that some simple and harm
Hess digestive should be taken after meals
TO assist the relaxed digestive organs. and
several years experience have proven
Stusrt's Dyspepsia Tablets TO be a very
safe, pleasant. and effective digestive, and
a remedy which may be taken daily with
the best results
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be
called a patent medicine. as they do not
act on the bowels nor any particular or
gan but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomaehs lack Pepsin
diastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase The natural secretion OF
hydruChloric acid
People Who make a daily practice OF
taking one OF two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal aye sure 10 have
perfect digestion which means perfect
health
There Is no dagger OF forming an inju-
rious habit as the tablets contain absO-
lutely nothing but natural digestyes. CO.
oaine morphine, and similar drugs have
no place in a stomach medicine. and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly
the best known and most popular OF all
stomach remedies
Ask your druggist for a 80 cent package
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and after a
weeks use note the improvement in health,
appetite and nervous energy.

THERE YOU ARE.

Congressman Joseph Sibley. of
Pennsylvania, recently made speech
for the expansionists and imperialists
IN which he let the cat out of the
bag. After showing (to his own sat
isfaction, at least, and the satisfac-
tion of the imperialists) that we hold
the Philippines by precisely the same
tenure and under precisely the same
conditions, which obtained in TIM
case of the Louisiana purchase of
1903, he most imprudently went a
step further than his more cautious
filibnstering compatriots would have
advised, and declared that China was
soon to be cut up and divided out
among the dominant nations of the
world, and that the United States
must come in for her share.
That is exactly where the new doc
trine leads to. First Hawaii, then
Samoa, then the Philippines, and
then China, or at least a great big

faithful old slave was no more; the poor
old stammering voice was now stilled

grown as the past few years had gone by.
Faithful, honest, truthful and devoted
always. We were no longer his master
and mistress, but he was ever the same,
and we loved him for what he was.
What childhood memories are linked
around the form of him whom l shall
now see no more here. The suffering,
tired limbs are at rest, the soul gone TO
join the thousands OF those gone before,
whose lives, like his, have held us in love

goodnight, old friend. Peace, eternal
peace, be the reward of thy labors.
