POOR CHRISTIANS.
Unwise Feeding Makes Them.

Some people thought he was a funny
old man when he spoke at camp meet
ing on the subject of Lord Give Us
Sense" One of the first REQUESTS for
living a peaceful. upright. honest and
religious life is food of the kind that
can be easily digested and that fur
nishes the rebuilding material for
good healthy brain and nerve centers.
1t is absolutely out of the question
for person to be peaceful, capable
and right minded when the brain is
underfed. and the nerves wrecked
from lack of rebuilding elements they
have a right to expect from good
food.
A person fed on meat, bacon, ham,
fried cakes, hot biscuits, sticky and
poorly cooked starchy oat meal and
wheat, may possibly have strong di-
gestion enough to handle these things
and be a happy, healthy individual;
but 80 people in 100 have not, and the
result is irritable, poorly nourished,
nervous bodies, foul breath. and gen.
eral condition that prevents one from
being happy and contented. 1t is prac-
tically impossible for such persons to
be good Christians.
The religion Of common sense and
good food Is the first religion that a
man or woman should cultivate. for
that condition makes possible thoughts
OF a higher nature and a better grade.
There Is a world Of wisdom in the
saying of Ruskin. I'VE may be sure

A NEW CATECHIsM.
Opening Lessons Elementary and Dc
Not Assume Existence of God.

From the North American.
Chicago, Nov. 10.-The new church
catechism prepared by DR.. William Z.
Barton of the First Congregational
Church, of Oak Park, was given its
first trial this afternoon at a special
meeting of the Younger Sunday school
pupils. DR.. Barton led the services
and succeeded in arousing no little in
terest on the part of the little listen
ers, as well as that of some of the
older members of the church, who were
attracted to the meeting.
1t was DR.. Barton's idea that the
first lessons of the new catechism
should be entirely elementary and that
the pupil should be taught to reason
from the few things which he may
know from his own senses. Even the
existence of a God lis not assumed at
the start, but the process of thought
by which we know of parental affec-
ton is followed to prove that there is
a God"
DR.. Barton, in giving the first lesson
OF his catechism, introduced the fol-
lowing questions among others:
Question. Apart from things which
you believe. hope or imagine to be true,
what do you known
Answer. II know that there is a
world, and that l 1--we IN IL.
@. How do you know there is a
world?"
A. Il know that there is a world
because / can touch, taste, smell, see
and hear"
@. How do you know that you
live?"
A Il know that I live because 1
think, feel and will.
@. Ought you to love God?"
A. IT ought to love God most of all,
for He is my nearest relative, my first
and most faithful friend"
@. Can God love and hate?"
A. God can love and hate. for He
has made me able to love and hate.
@. What does God hate?"
A. God hates sim"
@. What ought you to hate?"
A. IT ought to hate all sin, espe-
cially my own sin, and to put it far
from me-"
O. What does God lover"
A. God loves the good, the true
and the beautiful"
@. How do you know that God
loves the good, the true and the beau
tiful?"
A. IT know that God loves the
good, the true and beautiful, to seek
to make these qualities my own, be-
cause He has made me to help all
others to love and possess them"

In the last minute of the round Rub

Though admitting the disappointing
results of some of the operations Lord
Kitchener comments on them as fol-
lows:
80 long as this rate of progress can
be maintained, there can be little doubt
OF Its ultimate effect, even on an enemy
to whom no other form of argument
seems to appeal"
The report further says that the sys-
tenn of chains of block houses at inter.
walls of mile and some less along the
railroads was being extended. Besides
extending the lines these blockhouses
hamper communication between differ
emit portions of the Boer forces and act
as barriers against which to drive the
enemy.
Lord Kitchener says:
The influence OF the Boer leaders
and their organized system OF intini-
dation still keep in the field q large
number of burghers, who II left to
themselves, would be ready to sur
render"
The writer favorably mentions sew

stoned officers and men.

At the recent National Congregation
al Council, in Portland, Me-. the Rev.
George H. Ide. d. D., of Milwaukee.
related the following anecdotes: Il
have read how farmers wife, in the
province of Ontario. many years ago,
went searching the woods for cow
that had strayed. and, becoming
thirsty, stopped to get a drink from a
spring. Slipping. she fell against a
small, loose rock. which rolled to her
feet, and which proved to be a twenty
pound nugget of almost pure gold. The
effect of that accidental fnd was that
within six months a city OF 5000 in
habitants was built. An immense
quarry OF purest white marble was dis
covered near by. and the city was al
most entirely built OF marble. The
town OF Bridgewater Is the only city
In the world that has a. hotel, church,
schoolhouse. court house. and the ma
Jority OF It's building constructed en-
tirely OF white marble. Strange 10
say. however, though vast sums Of
money were spent in search, no other
gold Of any amount was ever taken
from this region. and the city has been
depopulated and deserted. All enthu-
siasm was gone as soon as the gold was
exhausted"

In the above table the English figures
include the royal marines. The French
marine infantry is not included. The
United States figures do not include
marines.
Speaking of the need of a national
naval reserve, the Secretary says: "Our
pressing need is for such a reserved
body to go to the front on board ship
at once upon the outbreak of war, or
when it is imminent"
The Secretary gives a list of vessels
under control, together with the time
when they are to be completed.
With reference to Blythe Island, on
the coast of Georgia, the Secretary
says: The property can be availed of
as a place for rifle practice and for
drill by the training squadron when it
is considered desirable to send it to
those waters; but there is not thought
to be any present necessity for its
use"
The appropriations for the navy for
1901 were, 1892, 406. OF, and the
amount drawn was 29,770, 255. OF, leav-
ing balance of $8,143151. 90. The sec
rotary has considerable to say in ref
erence to the naval observatory. He
believes it should be made a valuable
institution, and to that end recon-
mends that the choice of a director
shall not be conferred to the navy. He
says; There is no vital relation be-
tween the navy and the observatory.
1t may happen that some naval Off
Ger is pre- eminently qualified for such
a place, In which case he would be
appointed to 1t, but the country is en-
titled to have unlimited range of Sc
lection. The present limitation. which
shuts out the whole body of civilian
astronomers and even any astronomer
in the navy who does not happen to
be in the line, or. if in the line. below
the rank of captain, is peculiar. Only
a very small proportion of naval Off
GERS are not below the rank of cap
tain, and as most of them are required
for naval services-a requirement
which is now increasing-the list from
which selection can be made is a no.
ticeably small one. 1t is evident, too
from the wording of the above quota
ton from the statute. that Congress in
passing it had in mind further lesisla-
ton in this respect"
The list of vessels which the General
Board recommends shall be authorized
to be built during the coming year is
quite a large one. The department,
however, does not accept the recon-
mendation of the General Board. 1t
recommends the building of the follow
ing vessels:
Three first-class battle ships
Two frst-class armored cruisers.
Three gunboats, each of about 1000
tons trial displacement.
Three gunboats, each of about 200
tons trial displacement, for insular SER
vice.
Three picket boats, each Of about $50
tons trial displacement.
Three steel sailing training ships,
each of about 1000 tons trial displace-
ment.
One collier of about $4,000 tons trial
displacement.
-Four tug boats.

FACTS ABOUT THE NAVY.
Gathered From the Report of Secre-
tary Long.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The annual
report of the Secretary of the Navy
was made public to-day. Speaking of
line officers, the Secretary says: 1.-THE
need of line officers for sea duty be-
comes steadily more pressing, and in
case it should become necessary to
man all the vessels of our present fleet
the required number is not available,
and l recommend that the number of
lieutenants be increased from 300 to $50,
and that the limit of the number of
junior lieutenants and ensigns be made
$780,
In respect to enlisted personnel. the
Secretary says: IT cannot too earn
estly call attention to the necessity for
an increase of this most important
branch of the navy. AS with the Off
GERS so with the enlisted men. The
ships of the navy have been greatly
increased in number, but commensu-
rate steps have not been taken to pro-
vide the necessary crews for them. l
recommend that the present enlisted
force be increased by 5000 men,
