what Deserts arc Like.

The general idea of a desert Is a
sansH waste where not living thing
can flourish. In reality nearly all des-
erts are visited occasionally by severe
transforms. after which a gorgeous veg
citation springs up. The grass is rank,
flowers bloom everywhere and the trees
send forth most beautiful leaves and
blossoms. OF course this state Of things
lasts but short time, a month or six
weeks, after which the place is sandy
and dry again and presents but waste
of trackless sand.
Sometimes the rains follow each 9th
er so closely that desert teens with
animal life, birds Astounding and herds
of animals wandering over the ground.
Small lakes and ponds may be found
also. In the west of the Sahara there
are c0pious showers three or four times
a year, which so change the face of the
country that the traveller world not be-
lieve the scene to be the Sahara of his
geography.
Civil engineers say almost all deserts
could be reclaimed by a modest expen-
diture of time and money and that Sa-
hara could be easily made into an III
land sea. Some time in the future it is
probable that human ingenuity and sci
ence will have completely transformed
the waste places of earth.

The Methodists Refuse to Change the
Church's Attitude.
The Methodist general conference in
Chicago, after two days of turmoil, dodg
ed the amusement question. On Satur-
day the minority report of the commit
tee, favoring no change in the discipline
as to dancing, theater going. etc, was
adopted by a vote of 1873 to 800. When
the vote was announced in the conference
Monday a motion was made that the re-
port be laid on the table. This was
agreed to by vote of 256 TO 253, and the
presiding bishop ruled that the matter
was no longer before the house. Practi-
cally the question stands as it stood when
the conference met; technically the con
ference has voted against report to
leave the discipline unchanged.
This action leaves the controversy open
and was reached in opposition 10 the
advice of the majority of committee

Creed Revision Discusses and Referred
to Special Committee


to Special Committee.
Unusual interest marked the proceed
ings of the general assembly of the Pres
byterian Church in st. Louis last week.
Creed revision was most unexpectedly
brought forward Tuesday afternoon, and
the discussion which followed was of u
decidedly heated character. Situations
at times little short of dramatic came
TO the front, and, although speakers for
and against revision occupied the floor
and made speeches that laid bare their
thoughts upon the old confession, no ac-
ton was taken at that session. Consid-
Grafton of the subject was postponed UNI
I'll Wednesday, when it was placed in the
hands of a committee of fifteen. with
the moderator added as chairman, to re-
port what action. if any should be taken
by the church. This committee viii COM
pare. analyze and summarize suggestions
from the ,presbyteries, which are invited
to take action on ''the whole matter of 4
restatement of the doctrines most surely
believed among US and which are sub
stantially embodied in our confession of
faith" An hours intense and at Zines
almost acrimonious discussion preceded
the adoption of this report.
The settlement of the creed question,
as far as this assembly is concerned, was
not accomplished without comments be-
ing made on the subject from every shade
of opinion represented in the church. The
leaders alone did not settle the matter,
but elders and pastors new to the assem-
bly, voiced their opinions in no uncertain
tone. The decision to send the question
10 the proposed committee for investiga
ton was in the end adopted by a major
ity which completely overshadowed the
few votes cast against the report. This
will leave the question open for the pres
byteries to discuss in every form desired.
Their recommendations will do nothing
but shape the report of the committee,
which, in turn, viii make recommended
tons to the assembly next year.
