overcoming heaettinv Sins.
Our besetting sins are peculiarly hu-
initiating. They cling to Ms SO firmly
after We have determined TO be rid Of
them, they reveal thair power SO often
aiter we have supposed them con-
CURED and abandoned. they assail Us
50 Unexpectedly and often beguile us
50 easily. that We sometimes doubt
whether We really have any power Of
sef-control remaining Or any trust
worthy loyalty 10 God. 1t is no ex-
cuse for us. but It certainly Is com
iortlng 20 remember that everybody
else Is tempted similarly, and that our
Heavenly Father understands the Sit
uaiion even better than we do. 1t Is
a strong temptation 10 make special
excuses for such sins, and sometimes
ana to some extent than we do. x Is
a strong temptation to make special
excuses for such sins, and sometimes
and TO some extent this is proper. Be
setting sins are 10 be conquered like
any other. by prayer and faith and
courage and sturdy resistance. by
cheriahlng holy thoughts and cultiyat-
lng holy aims. by avoiding circum-
stances invoiving temptation. by
choosing ennobllng companions by
studying how TO live in constant com
munion with the Holy Spirit. When the
heat is consciously and gladly sur
rendered to him 50 that his presence
and power rule IN It, even our severest
besettlng temptations can nnd little OF
no opportunity Of access. The sins
which heset US specially do ms a great
service 10 teaching us self-distrust and
humility But for them also many OF
our greatest spiritual victories would
not be won and our characters would
not gain that degree OF vigor which
now is attainable. When we come to
look back upon our lives from the
divinepoint Of view we shall confess
that in spite Of an the sorrow and
strain they caused ms our besetting
sins were valuable agents in securing
the chief object Of life, the develop
mcnt Of a holy. heavenly character.-

We have a far-oif heaven to aspire
10. Every one can think Of It and long
for Il. A commonplace world Is close
at hand. We can see It as we toll and
suffer for It. and dream and aspire as
we toll and suffer No one Of MS Is
without the lncitement and the hope
Of heaven. or without the everyday
possession OF the common world as Il
is. Donald G. Mitchell puts this truth
before Us when he says. "A wide rich
heaven hangs above you, but Il hangs
very high. A wide, rough world Is
around you. and It lies very low"
Heaven is very high. and earth is very
low You can have both, and you
ought not to be content without both

The intent Of religion is to help
mankind 20 the attainment Of peace
ful and righteous life Il is indeed,
to glorify God, but by the elevation
Of human life It Is intensely prac-
tical Whenever It becomes merely
speculative. dogmatic or ceremonial Il
Is perverted from its highest meaning
and fails OF lis best results The en-
ergy OF true religion Is directed to-
wards present needs and opportunities
Il is personal and immediate. Il Is not
simply believing something that Is
past. and hoping for something in the
future. but il Is also doing something
now. The best religion Is that which

Being ready to q is a good thing
In its way. But being ready TO live is
better thing IN lis way Il Is a
harder thing to live than 70 die. Dy-
ing is quickly over with; but living Is
keeping on with our struggles and
trials over and over again day after
day. 1t requires, so to speak a greater
stretch OF faith to live on in incessant
struggle OF existence amid temptation
than 70 rest ourselves once for all In
the care OF Him to whom we can trust
ourselves forevermore This Is at
least the way It seems to us In our
present struggle with sin and tempta-

ter how great a sinner a man may be-
the church Is for him just as much
as for a very righteous person Il Is
not right for people 10 criticise others
in the congregation. This is the
cause Of many leaving a church We
don't like to hear stories that Others
have circulated about us. Il hurts our
tender senses and breaks friendly ties.
We should take sinners into the
church. and with the experience We
have gained bring them to the way
OF leading a holy life. We should vel

The increase of railroad fares anu

going on ever since the combinations
were effected. The freight rates have
generally been Increased in the round
about way of raising the classification.
The Buffalo Times snys, "The Pan
American Is now complete, but the
railroad rates keep the crowds away"
This IS corroborated by the managers
of the Pan-American exposition, who
give out the following Information:
1--WE can cite many Instances where
the railroads have put up their rates
far In excess of what the fare was be-
fore the exposition"
This is pretty good proof that trusts.

WONDERFUL sroRles.



The story is going the ROUNDS OF the
Republican newspapers headed Free
Ships 1t has all the earmarks Of
having been prepared by the ship sub
sidy steal bureau, for which Mark Hem
ma, Griscom, Morra1 and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad pat up the stuff" and
do the prompting. Of course IL does
not approve Of free ships and quotes
from matter prepared by the same
bureau, which Hanna and Frye I'M
posed on the United States senate
when speaking In favor of their ship
subsidy scheme. Tho closing para-
graph OF the article says
But such On act would close every
shipyard of the United States Except
ing for repair work or else there would
have TO be reduction In wages. Ships
cost less to construct In Europe be-
cause of the lower wages. The actual
difference in recent case as tested by
bids obt0ined I'm this country and in
Europe on the same vessel was $40 a
ton more in the United States. If we
had free ship law the shipowners
would Of course buy in Europe, where
they could get the work done cheaper.
Our shipyards would have TO reduce
wages to meet this foreign competition
or cease business"
This entirely disagrees with the evil
dence given by James j. Hill, president
of the Great Northern railroad, which
also has line of steamships running
from Seattle to Japan. In receiving
bids for two new steamships Of the
greatest tonnage ever before attempt
ed, he was surprised to find that the
American shipyards underbid the Eng
lish. and the contract was awarded to
this country. And he stated the ren-
son-that the structural iron was be-
ing manufactured here for much less
than In Scotland and England. and the
trust, rather than lose the trade, gave
the shipyards the lowest price
What wonderful stories these paid
bureaus can concoct when the United
States treasury Is to be looted.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE



Often we find tha; old straw hats are
subjects Of grave consideration Many
OF them, we hear 1t said, are too good
to be thrown away, too fanciful TO be
given to the poor and yet not quite
modlsh enough to tempt their owners
Into trimming them up for another
season. This, then, Is the time when
It Is best TO transform them into lamp
shades. Most charming as lamp shades
they become, especially for summer
houses and verandas.
To carry out the scheme is a simple
matter. Leghorns or very large garden
hats Of rough straw are the most de-
sirable. First should the top of the
crown be cut out, when already, as can
be imagined. the hat will assume some-
what the shape of n lamp shade. I'm
dcrneath It should then be wired up
and down as well as about the top and
bottom that It may be held In shape
and bent gracefully, for above all else
these shades must have a free, 6oppy
appearance. They do not look well II
at all stiff. The trimming consists
mostly of artificial flowers and grasses,
which many women have on haud from
hats of preceding summers. Long, deep
green grasses are usually hung about
the lower edge as a fri ge. II. how
ever, the edges are not N good condi-
ton. It looks very well to put about
them n ruff of plnked out taffeta rib
bon either to match or contrast with
he color of the straw.
