One Hundred Years.

In the st. Louis Post Dispatch OF

pears the following by Boliver Owen,
the 75-year-old father OF Max Owen,
Of this city:
Though my hair is gray and l am
told that l am getting old, l feel as
young as l did when q boy in my native
Sweden. / wac born In Stockholm in
1926. / see no reason why l should
not live 60 be q hundred years old.
believe that a mans length of life ID
dependent upon his mode of living,
Health is q great deal like money. II
was made neither to be lavishly ex-
pended or selHshly boarded. Industry
Is never waste of force, but dissipation
Is. / attribute my remarkable health
to the fact that I have always worked
hard and have never INDUCED in dis
sipation. 1 have never used tobacco
or strong drink. The only thing ]
cannot do without is work. / have
made 1t rule all my life to finish eact
days work on the day 1t was assigned
to me,
retire at $3.50 o'clock every nigh
and arise at $3.50. At O'Clock l leave
my home in Hammett place and take
an owl car for my Office, reaching
there before 8 O'Clock.
As to diet, l have no special rules
except that l eat very little meat
Vegetables are my principal articles
Of food.
1 see no reason why any man WHIT
has not inherited disease should no
live to be q hundred years old, II hi
aYoida stimulants and works hard"

THE ECUMEEICAL COUNCIL.
Rev. Mr.. Hanna, Of the N. Z. Church
South, Was in Attendance and
Speaks Ofthe Great Gathering.

Rev. W. A. Hanna, pastor Of the M.
Church, South, Of this city, arrived
home on the 5:14 Wabash train Tues
day afternoon from New York City,
where he attended the Ecumenical
Conference, held In the interest OF
foreign missions. Mr.. Hanna says he
had a delightful and most interesting
and profitable trip and that great good
Is bound to result from the monster
gathering, at which the entire
Protestant world was represented.
Between six AND sever hundred for
eIgn missions vert represented and
delegates were present from almost
every city and hamlet in the United
States Mr. Hanna thinks-and very
correctly-that the meeting Of the
Council is the great ~initiatory step to
a thorough awakening on the subject
Of foreign missions and the ultimate
evangelization or the world to Christi
anity. II means a closer union of
spirit and love in Christian churches
and is the beginning Of q new and
aggressive era In behalf OF mission
work in the Protestant world. It is
the seed planting-the harvest is to
come.
Mr.. Hanna spent seven days In New
York City and one in Washington,
and will give his congregation, from
time to time, the benefit Of the infor-
NATION gained in his local pulpit work.
He will dwell particularly upon his
impressions Of the meeting OF the
Conference.
While in Washington Mr.. Hanna
paid a visit to Mt. Vernon, the National
cemetery and other points Of interest
In and around the nations capital.
MIR. Hanna would have prolonged
his visit, but he was compelled to re-
turn home to attend the District Com
ference meeting, which convenes ct
C~entralia tomorrow.
The council was properly named.
Ecumenical, in ecclesiastical language,
means that which concerns the whole
church, andthis meeting was Of vastly
more Importance to the people Of
earth than at this time can be esti-
mated.
