Their. Mother! That is an impossible
that I would like to see God take hold
of, the conversion Of that boy, for he
will never be anything but q boy to
you, though you should live to see him
fifty years Of age. Did you say his
heart is hard? How hard? Hard as
stone? YES" you say; "harder than
that. Hard as iron" But here is a
God who can lift the soul that has
been deepest down. Here is q God
who can raise a soul out of the black

Here is a God who can make iron

thousands of peOple-called to dc work
that it is impossible for them to do,

Superiority of God.

Those students in the valley Of
palms by the Jordan had q physical
strength and hardihood that would
help them in their mental and spirit
ual achievements. We who are tOiling
for the worlds betterment need Drawn
as Well as brain, strong bodies as well
as illumined minds and consecrated
souls. Many Of those who are now do
ing the best work in church and state
got muscle and power of endurance
from the fact that in early life they
were compelled to use AK or plow
or fail or hammer while many who
were brought up in the luXuries Of life

Ny subject also reminds US Of the
Importance OF keeping our chief nipple
nent for work in good order. I think
that young theological student on the
banks of Jordan was to blame for not
examining the ak before he lifted it
that day against a tree. He could in q
moment have found out whether the
helve and the head were firmly fas-
tened. The simple fact was the ak
was not in good order or the strongest
stroke that sent the edge into the hard
sycamore would not have left the i'm
plement headless. SO God has given
every one of us an AK with which to
hew. Let us keep it in good order,
having been sharpened by Bible study
and strengthened by prayer. The rea-
son we sometimes fail in our work is
because we have q dull ak or we do
not know how Alright to swing it. The
head is not Alright oD the handle. Al

A BA1TUE FOR PIGS
Tenth Warders Plan to Drive O1t
the Blind Kind.
ATRoCIoUs VIOLATION OF Law
1t Is Complained OF by Those ALONG
Washington Avenue
North.

Tenth warders residing near and along
Washington avenue are planning a con-
certed campaign this spring against the
blind pig evil in their midst. They have
protested to the police and the mayor in
vain and now they purpose to adopt meas
ures of their own.
This action Of the tenth ward has long
been favorite resort for blind pigs, but
never, the residents say, have they been
so numerous and SO bold in their opera
tions as during the present administration.
There have been no less than four in full
blast between Thirtieth avenue N and
| Camden Place, and lately a fifth has come
into the field. This one, 1t is said, has a
disorderly' house adjunct.
! Daily, the residents say,-brewery wagons
J drive up in front Of these places and de-
J liver their goods in barrels, kegs or cases,
| and frequently uniformed policemen stand
by during the operation and exchange
| ocular remarks with the driver and the
proprietor
Early in the administration, after the
| first complaints were made, several plain
clothes men, it Is charged, went up there
prowled around awhile, and then went
| away. Immediately afterward the sus-
picious places opened up wider than evel
and during all the time since have beer
running almost without semblance OF eau
ton
The purpose now is to work up case:
against the suspicious places and cause
! the arrest of the proprietors under war
rants Those interested declare that the.
are satisfied that. the administration ha
no intention of interfering with the blint
pig business.

FIR vs.. YELLOW PINE
Results of Tests Under Government
Supervision
BRING JOY TO THE FIR MEN
Fir May Be Used in Building
Vessels on Pacific
Coast.

Interesting tests of the comparative
strength of fir and yellow pine, made un-
der government supervision at the Puget
Sound naval station. Bremerton. Wash,
have lust been made public.
The west coast manufacturers are
highly gratified over the outcome, as the
| naval department has decided that here
after, in building vessels on the west
coast, fir will be used where it can be
secured at less cost than yellow pine.
Tests We're made for transverse and
| tensile strength, compression strength,
both ways of the grain and column, tor
| sion and shearing strength. The results
generally were satisfactory to the west
| coast manufacturers.
| Douglas fir was found to be equal to
yellow pine in strength and superior to 1t
in some essential points. decidedly more
elastic and far superior in toughness.
Douglas fir contains less pitch and resin
than yellow pine in the ratio Of % to 80,
and IS lighter in the ratio OF % to 80.
Yellow pine was found to be superior to
Douglas fir, especially when moisture
was present, and in the greater amount
Of pitch that it contains
