FEARS ENTERTAINED
Of PANAMA OUTBREAK
Colombian Government Taking
Steps to Prevent 1t.

Bogota dispatches say Senior Perez V
Sotos. the arch enemy of the Panama
Canal treaty, has induced the Colombian
senate to approve a resolution provid-
ing for the appointment of a governor
for Panama who is an anti-secessionist.
Governor Obaldia, who was recently
appointed governor to Panama, is a
friend OF the canal treaty and is said
by Senior Perez Y Sotos to be a menace
to the integrity of the republic OF Co
lombia.
President Marroquin is reported to
have overcome in a measure. the objec-
tions OF the congress to Governor obal-
dia, but fear of a Panama revolution
still exists in Bogota. where conditions
are shown by dispatches to be uncertain.
The central government seems to real
lie that Panama may declare independ-
ence at any time.
In a recent speech IN the house Of
representatives, Senior Deroux. a Pan
ANA member. spoke as follows:
''In Panama the bishops. governors.
magistrates, military chiefs and their
subordinates have been and are foreign

wishes TO exclude the tsthmus from all
participation in public affairs. AS re-
CARDS international dangers, IN the
isthmus, all I can say is that il these
dangers exist. they are due to the con-
duct OF the national government. which
is in the direction OF reaction. II the
Colombian government will not heed the
indications, the responsibility will rest
with it alone. Not a native of Panama

Resurrection of Christ.

The resurrection of Christ was absolute
ly necessary as a proof that His life and
teachings were divine. It was not merely
required as fulfllment of prophecy. and
especially of the prophecy Of Christ Him.
self, though it was needed for this, but it
was also demanded as an inspirer of hope,
because no hope of life beyond the tomb
could have sprung out of the grave of
Saviour who Himself was held as its VIC
tim. Paul clearly saw this, for he wrote:
IF Christ be not risen, then is our preach
ing vain, and your faith is also vain; We are
yet in your sins. If in this life only we
have hope in Christ, we are of all men most
miserable" no hope of a future life through
Christ if Christ did not rise from the grave.
The doctrine then, also, that the soul of
the believer after death is in bliss is with
out any solid foundation, for if Christ's
declaration concerning the raising up of the
temple of His body was false, who viii
dare say that His declaration to the dying
thief. To-day thou shalt be with Me in
paradise" was not also false? No resur-
rection Of Christ, no hope of blessed fu-
ture life; for such a hope springs out of the
resurrection. gospel. The disciples had no
hope until they saw their risen Lord, then
they were glad.-The Rev Samuel Schwarm.

The people of the Pacific slope look
out upon the Pacific as we look out
upon the Atlantic, says the. Boston
Transcript. Sir Edward Greasy, writ
ing so years ago his Fifteen Decisive
Battles" expressed the opinion that
the progress OF the American people
westward would not stop at the Pa
cific. and that the conquest of China
and Japan by fleets and armies of the
United States might be witnessed by
men living when he wrote. Half of
Creasy's prophecy has been realized,
but thanks to a benevolent tendency
in our national character which he
did not detect, we have become the
great friend Of China and Japan, not
their conquerOrs.

Critical Spirit.

The critical spirit eats out, like burn
ing acid, the very sweetness of spiritual
life. There is a mysterious quality of
heart gentleness in truly cruciGed believ-
er which cannot be defined. 1t is a thou
sand times beyond mere qualification or
thodoxy; it is far more than outward cor
rectness of life; it is fathoms deeper down
than the exact proprieties OF behavior; it
is more than q profession, and infinitely
more mighty than holiness, preaching or
correct doctrine. It is the breath of Jesus
in the heart, the vapor from the river of
life, the perfume of the rose of Sharon, the
elixir of prayer, the marrow in the bone
of truth, which is far more in the sight of
God than all the outward hulis of religious
form and teaching, which only serve as the
alabaster box to this divine spikenard of
heavenly. love-. But one severe utterance
in critical spirit will strike through this
inward purity and sweetness like a touch
of gall. And because the spirit of criticism
is go universal among Christians is the rea-
son why it is so rare to find real sanity

4 RAILROAD
EXPERIMENT.
Big Railway Lines May Purchase
Timber Lands.
TO GROW THEIR OWN TREES
For the Purpose of Making Ties---Bureau
of Forestry has Taken a Isand in the
Experiments In Preserving Timber and
Receipts are Gratifying.

Receipts are Gratifying.
Washington.-The Bureau of For
estry has continued this year on a far
larger scale the experiments in timber
seasoning and preservation for the
railroad, which it began last year.
This summer the work will be carried
on east. south and west, and will be
made even more thorough than before.
The scarcity of valuable timber is
felt by no class of consumers more
keenly than by the railroads. which
use every year 10000, 900 ties. The
price of timber has risen in some in
stances to figure which makes their
use prohibitive; in other cases the
supply is nearly exhausted.
The Bureau of Forestry has been
called on to assist in solving the diff
Guilty. and has come forward with the
simple suggestion that the railroads,
instead of continuing to use expen-
sive, high grade tim bers for railroad
ties, shall use the cheaper woods. For
example, to the complaint of the New
York Central that it finds it more and
more difficult to eecure long leaf pine
ties from Georgia, the bureau suggests
that the road use the beech, maple
and birch of the Adirondacks.
The complaint that the timbers rot
very quickly when laid in the ground
is answered by the suggestion that
they should be seasoned und pre-
served, just as beech is seasoned and
preserved in France. The Great East
ern railroad of France has succeeded
in making beech ties the last 35 years
by impregnating them with tar oils.
The unseasoned longleaf- pine ties
used by the New York Central last
only FIVE years; and the beech if laid
green, without seasoning or preserv-
ing, would in many cases last no more
than three years. The substance of
the proposal which the bureau has
made to the railroads, is that expert
ments be made to determine whether
cheaper timbers may be treated with
preservatives at cost so low and be
made to last such a long time, that it
will pay to substitute them for the
more expensive timbers now en-
ployed.
The railroads have thought so we'll
OF these ideas that they will not ouly
carry on the necessary experiments in
seasoning and preserving, but have
decided that if they can be convinced
that it will pay to season and preserve
cheap timbers for ties, they will &C
quire large areas Of timber lands on
which they will grow their own trees,
ard cut their own ties. This means
that some of the great railroads of the
country are in fair way to practice
forestry on large scale, and to en-
ploy great many foresters.
