it near the open windows. That watch
was her dearest personal belonging from as
ISOLATION. She felt sure he had taken it
from habit, and would return it when she
had restored him to home and society, as
she intended. In spite Of her years, Mrs.
Morton was not very worldly wise.
Her seat at the table 'hote was next to
Mrs De Grey. When they met at breakfast
that lady saluted her with the startling
question:
''Have you heard of the robbery"
"No. Who was robbed?
everybody except myself, and I'm sure
1 don't know how 1 happened to escape.
/ had dined out and all my jewels lay in
plain sight waiting for the maid to put
them away"
81 know-my watch was taken. | know
who did it, who committed the robbery,
dear Mrs. De Grey. 1 must see you alone
after breakfast. l have something very I'M
portant to say"
Mrs. Morton was so nervously frustrated
that her friend overlooked the mystery in
her manner or attributed it to the loss of
her watch. As soon as they had concluded
their meal Mrs. De Grey led the way to her
own apartments, where she requested Mrs.
Morton to be seated.
"Is it about the robbery" she asked
"It is about the robber. l saw him and
talked with him"
"And did you not give the alarm?"
"Wait. He told me who he was; that he
had been bred college lad, given every
luxury, then turned out on the world to care
for himself as best he could. His own moth
er disowned him when he was not success
full. And he told me his name-one OF our
oldest and best families-your own name,
Mrs. De Grey"
"Well, what have | to do with that?''
Gle said-dear Mrs. De Grey, listen. He
said that you were his own mother"
Mrs De Grey laughed Historically THAT
is a very plausible story she said, quite
romantic and affecting. 1t only lacks one
esesntial-the truth. | never had a son" =

Work is given to men, not only, nor
so much, perhaps, because the world
needs it. Men make work, but work
makes men. An Office is not place for
making money, it is a place for max
ing men. A workshop is not a place
for making machinery, for fitting en-
gines and turning cylinders; it is a
place for making souls; for fitting in
the virtues to ones life; for turning
out honest, modest, whole-natured
men. For Providence cares
less for winning causes than that men,
whether losing or winning, should be
great and true; cares nothing that
reforms should drag their cause from
year to year bewilderingly, but that
men and nations in carrying them
out, should find there, education, disci-
pline, unselfishness and growth in
grace.-Henry Drummond.

THE LORDS DAY AND HOUSE.

Psalm CXXII.
How glad was 1 to hear them say:
Come, let us seek, this holy day,
Jehovah's House of prayer.
Jerusalem, within thy gate
Our feet are standing; here we wait
Within thy courts so fair.
Thou, o Jerusalem, our song,
Art builded as a city strong,
That all compact doth stand
There come the people of the Lord
10 praise His name with one accord,
AS Israel had command.
For there set up within the gate
The thrones of judgment stand in state,
The thrones of Davids line.
pray that Zion peace may see,
For they shall ever prospered be
Thy love thy courts divine.
Peace be within thy walls for aye!
And in thy palaces o may
Prosperity increase.
For brethren and companions sake
say, as hence my way take,
Within thy walls be peace.
Yea for the house He makes His own
Who is the Lord our God alone,
I'll ever seek thy good.
So glad I'll be to hear them say:
Come to Jehovah's House to-day:
And glad that there I stood.

OLD PROHIBITION COMMUNITY.
Sandy Spring, Md, Attains Industrial
Prosperity and Mental and
Moral Culture.

A unique community is that to be
found at Sandy Spring, Md. An inland,
agricultural settlement, it has attained
singular industrial prosperity, and
an unusual degree of mental and moral
culture. These attained results are the
product of combination of causes,
none of them more potent and pro-
nounced than the one which relates to
the liquor curse.
Long before the Maine law or the
general local option movement had an
existence, a local prohibitory statue
was obtained from the Maryland legis
lature. 1t provided that no liquor
could be sold within specified dis
lance of the Friends meeting house
in Sandy Spring. Following closely
upon the heels of this Law came anoth
er which prohibited liquor selling in
the vicinity of an institution of learn
ing several miles away. These related
statutes created piece OF dry terri
tory a number of miles in extent, and
this condition has remained unto this
day, having existed the better part
of century.
In Sandy Spring there is consider
able colored population. 1t is the
opinion of lifelong residents of the
settlement that the general order,
prosperity and moral atmosphere of
the neighborhood are due to its long
continued grogless character One of
it's successful citizens said to the writ
er, that he considered the fact that
successive generations of white and
colored people have grown up in Sandy
Spring free from the temptations and
Generalization of the saloon, the
most telling condition in the environ
ment of the settlement.
1t is logical to believe that a condi-
ton which promotes the social and
personal goods and graces in one place
will do it in another, if given proper
trial, Surely, the absence of liquor
selling in a community means the re-
moval of vast opportunity and temp
tation to do evil-The Defender.

REAL SUCCESS.
LIS Not Attainment of seIf-D etermined
Ends, But FaithfuIness to Dr.
vineIy Appointed Duties.

According to the common Judgment
which we hear applied to men to-day
the earth-life of our Lord must be re-
garded as a conspicuous failure. 1t
is failure to be poor ones whole
life long. 1t is failure to be hated
and cast out by the 'best society,""
To win followers and to lose them,
to be deserted, arrested, tortured,
hanged--all these are experiences as
ISOLATED with dismal failure.
Yet all these are the experiences
of the Christ. THE offense of the
cross" Paul called them. All men
regard life as an opportunity-the
leaders of the Jews thought Jesus of
Nazareth had used His opportunity
with folly for himself and danger for
the nation There had been torch
of sedition, but they had used the
heel of the Roman to trample it out
in dust and blood.
Life is our opportunity great
and only opportunity-to-day, and
the common opinion of success and
failure is little changed. Success is
getting rid of poverty-if we have
not been so fortunate as to inherit
wealth-it is popular applause, con-
spicuousness, power, the carrying
through of self-determined ends. 1t
is the embodiment of special literary,
business or political efficiency. 1t is
even, on a somewhat condescending
second thought, conspicuous attain
ment in character. Even Jesus, in the
retrospect, is acknowledged as one
of the great character triumphs of
humanity.
In view of the life He spent on
earth, judged by His contemporaries,
our Lord was conspicuous failure;
but judged from our vantage point
of the unrolling centuries his invest
ment of life has brought the largest
possible returns. Failure of the mo-
ment proves to be a glorious success
in it's unfolding His choice of the
permanent at the expense of the
transient was deliberate. Repeated
ly it is urged upon us for our follow
ing. "What shall it profit a man if
he shall gain the whole world and
forfeit his life? or what shall a man
give in exchange for his life?"
In Christ's view the real success is
faithfulness. Men are born with diff
fering powers and opportunities.
The choices are outwardly diverse,
the manifest results are various; but
all at last resolve themselves into
the one great choice. The real OPP
portunity is the opportunity of faith
and service. The real and permanent
reward follows upon Christ's recogni-
ton of our faithful stewardship.
1t is the ever recurring choice be-
tween present delight and future Joy
and power. "The day shall declare
it," If the overturnings of a century
are so great, sweeping to oblivion
the successes of mere wealth and
power and social recognition, what
will it be when the story of our lives
has long been ended and only the
permanent elements of Christlike
character and service remain above
the flood? That is the real success,
however, unrecognized to-day. which
keeps us in vital touch with God and
grows through overcoming to an
eternal recognition and employment
in His kingdom.-Boston Congrega-
tionalist.

smear Points

Success is not salvation, but saliva
ton is success.
Sorrow may be but the shadow of
God drawing near.
He who will not obey in the dark
cannot lead in the light.
Care is the stumbling block in the
pathway of happiness.
Only Christ in us can enable us to do
the Chrst-work on other lives.
You may work without praying, but
you can't pray without working.
Men who cannot change their plans
cannot fulfil the highest purposes.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Responding to
an inquiry from Senator Lodge. the secre-
tary OF war today sent to him a large
number OF papers bearing upon the charge
that cruelty is praeticed by the American
troops on the natives Of the Philippines.
Senator Lodge presented the documents in
the senate.
Among the documents forwarded are the
records OF thirteen Investigations into such
charges and the secretary says that every
report or charge OF this description. which
has at any time been brought to the notice
Of the War department, has been made the
subject OF prompt investigation" He adds
that In nearly every case inquired into the
report has proved to be either unfounded
or grossly exaggerated.
He also says the department Is now en-
gagged In conducting an investigation into
the charge made in the senate last week
