EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN BRAZIL

Rt. Rev Lucien L. Kinsolving. Bishop
Of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of

the work that has been accomplished by
the Protestant Episcopal Church since the
Diocese Of southern Brazil was estab-

1T Is our solemn duty 10 catch the Christ

Recently Hon Seth Low of New Yorl,

him for aiding in Tie work in Brazil. He
said he recognized bis duty as far as the

TRUST IN GOD IS SUCCESS.
Theme of DIR. Luther u. Wilson'S
sermon ut Foundry Church.

=
sermon mt Foundry Church.
"As Thou Wilt" was the topic discussed
by DR.. Luther B. Wilson yesterday morn
ing at the Foundry NJ. E. Church. The
theme of his sermon was that the desire
to accomplish a thing can always be sat
isfied by putting trust in God. He gave as
an example the blind girl Helen Kellar,
who. without the great power of sight.
learned to read and write with the aid
Of her sense of feeling. He gave as an
other example Thomas Edison's success
in electricity. explaining that it was sim
ply Edisuns faculty of saying Il VIII
and then working with all his zeal toward
the prize.
Napoleon is a characteristic illustra-
tion of what human will can do. He Was
not satisfied until he had reached the
pinnacle of power. His life also suggests
that there is a Limitation upon the human
Will. When Napoleon went TO Waterloo
a limitation was placed on his will. and
he was erwhelmingly defeated. He had
got so far and he could get no further.
Ii is so in the life of the artist-he paints
his pictures, but it is only so far that
he can represent life. The soldiers en-
the field march in a great and mighty
body until they meet a foe that turns
them back.
Another great example of what hu-
man will combined with spiritual will can
do is seen in the life of Jerry HcAuley,
the man who served years in Sing Sing
prison. the most noted river thief in the
United States. One day he was convert-
ed TO God and lived a good and Christian
life for several years. and then fell hack
to sin. Again he served time In Sing
Sing. But again he was converted, and
in Heaven be is now. singing with multi
tudes the praises of God. while multi
tudes are singing his praises. He con-
verted hundreds and thousands Of sinners
TO God while he was on earth

Individuality in Japan.

The Japanese have so long been
called "imitators" that the term
sounds trite. But it is one of those
trite expressions of a half truth. AS
a matter of fact, 1t is impossible for
a race which has such a strong indi.
vidNality to be merely initiative. Its
wonderful metamorphosis of the last
80 years cannot be accounted for by
such a simple statement. The Japan
csc initiate, yes; but what they imi-
tate becomes a part of them. and as
it is absorbed. it is adapted and
changed. How else could the country
through thousands Of years have re-
NAMED so absolutely different from
every other country? Again and
again it received impulses from Korea
and China; its very shutting itself
off from the west was an individual
act which showed strength It's final

ALL SPIDERS SPIN,
But Not the Way Most Artists Drav
Them,

"All spiders spin, but not all Of
them spin snares. those orbed and ra-
dated webs that we see pictured 81
many times and every time pictured
wrong. But that only goes to show
mat the lower animals are not the
only ones that possess instinct. I
think 1t will be generally agreed that
artists may be classed among the
higher animals. At any rate, their
instinct is to draw thing, not as it
Is, but as it appears to a man that
doesn't know very much about any
thing in particular. So he lays off
his picture Of a spiders web with
a pair of diViders. and people marvel
at the spiders mathematical sense,
whereas a spider doesn't bother her
head with any such foolishness. She
puts her lines where she thinks they
Will do the most good regardless of
their distance apart.
Here of late, though, I think |
have noticed little Improvement in
artists. They have begun to notice
that the spider always stands head
downward in her web, if it be a per-
pendicuiar one, and if it is horizontal
hangs back downward. Some of these
tat-Web spiders can hardly walk right
side up. But the spider of art never
has more than six legs, while the real
spider has eight, and the spider Of
art often has three sections of the
body, while the real spider never has
more than two. The head and chest
are in one department, so to speak
There are their eyes, from four to
eight in number. and disposed in diff
ferent patterns according to their po-
litical affiliations; their jaws which
work sidewise. instead Of up and
down; their poison bag, and a few
other arrangements; and in the abdO-
men or silk department are the heart
"a banana-shaped affair.", the liver,
the slit and tubes that do duty for
lungs, and the spinnerets. These last
are warty-looking affairs that may be
spread apart and brought together ex-
actly like the thumb and fingers Of
the hand. Each Wart is covered with
hundreds Of little hollow hairs,
through which is expressed a gummy
LIQUID that turns to silk when il dries
Mrs. Spider slaps her spinnerets
broad against the wall and sticks
fast q don't know how many hun
dreds of fine filaments. Then she
pulls away the spinnerets and shuts
them up, and all of those fine fila
ments melt into one rope, in thick
ness, about one-fve-thousandth of an
inch. Insects silk is a simple
thread; spiders is compound" -Har-

Newport No Longer a Capital.

BY the recent adoption of an amend
ment to the State Constitution, Rhode
Island has ceased to hayetwo capitals,
and the last state in the Union to
maintain them has given up that pecu-
liar custom. Hereafter the city of
Providence will be the only capital Of
the state, and. incidentally, the old
historic statehouse in the city of New
port finishes its career as legislative
sdifice.

building stands in silence upon its
firm foundation and of its notable past
there remain only the stories handed

The American Trolley in London.

There can be no doubt that the
company which enjoys the distinction
of introducing the electric tram to
the metropolis, with its installation in
the southwestern district, has bound
ed at once into popular favor. What
it's financial history will prove re-
mains to be seen; but the facilities it
affords for cheap, comfortable and
easy transport have been enthusiast
tically welcomed by the multitude.
The scene at Shepherds Bush on Sun
day afternoons is very remarkable
one. The obtaining Of a seat on car
bound, say, for Kew, is a matter of
physical strength and vigorous elbow
work, or of an anticipatory walk of a
few hundred yards to point where
the incoming vehicle can be boarded.
1t is not impossible that the next gen.
Grafton will see London adequately
provided with electric trans, but at
present the rate Of progress stops q
little short OF the standardization.

PEARLS Of THOUGHT,

A haggling woman is nearly as odi.
nus as a mean man.
1t is better to be called proud than
10 be named a sycophant.
A woman may overcome a mans
dislike, but his contempt never.
The best friend a young girl can
have is a level headed, loving father.
Health is a touchy possession; dis
ooey one of its commands and off it
goes.
Nothing makes vain old man so
wroth as to pay him the respect due
bis age.
Keeping ones grievances to ones
seIf is an excellent proof of mental
equipoise.
Adversely is a less severe test than
Deryersity, where domestic happiness
is concerned.
Until you are sure a stranger will
not bore you, brace you or babble, tell
her no secrets.
It is not what we see, but what we
remember perfectly that helps to wild
en- our mental Vistas.
There is ever a battle waging be-
tween an idler and time, the object
being to kill each other.
It is wiser to speak ones own Ian
guage correctly than several others
badly, as so many smart persons do.
Doing all We can to promote our
friends happiness is better than to
continually drink to his prosperity.
They build better than they know
who marry upon the basis of genuine
respect and cameraderie. Love burns
out, friendship increases.--Philadel-

Do You Know Esperando7

The latest aspirant for hOnors as a
universal language, the successor of
Volapuk, which was agitated some
years ago, is l.1oWn as Esperando.
This is an artificial language, due to
DR.. Zamenhof, a Russian linguist.
There is no doubt that, despite the ex-
tensive translation of valuable foreign
articles appearing in the technical
press, in these days when every manu-
featuring industry is carried on along
scientific and chemical lines, wider
interchange of ideas and discoveries
is of the utmost Importance. Such is
the mission of a universal language,
one in which any scholar would be
able to describe and explain his dis
coveries so as to have universal
audience.
Esperanto grammar is said to con-
sist of Is simple rules, without any
exceptions whatever, and there are but
IL notifications of the termination OF
words. 1t is claimed that with 10
minutes instruction in the grammar
novice can translate Esperanto with
the aid of dictionary only, while. a
months study suffices to enable him to
write or speak it, the latter operation
being simplifed by phonetic spelling.
1t is said that $4,000 people in CONT
mental Europe have taken up its study.
