A Motor Danger.

The chief thorn in the side of the mo-
torist is the alarming rapidity with
which he puts on flesh, says the Lon
don Globe. To ride in a motor car
cannot be called very violent exercise,
but at the same time it sharpens the
appetite and leads the motorist to pay
more attention to the trencher than he
would otherwise do. Most automobile
lists now take up. some other form of
exercise and practice it in the intervals
Of driving. Fencing and punching the
ball ire two of the most emcacious and
popular.

useful.

see! 1t is by faith that you may see
the glory Of God. When we hear that
an astronomer has discovered a new
comet we do not read that he found it
with the unaided eye. He saw 1t with
his telescope long before the rest Of US
knew anything about 1t. When a man
a mighty truth of God; that
he has seen its beauty and felt its
power, though we do not see it, we
know that it has been made known to
him by the wonderful reach and reve-
lation Of faith. When we were in the
observatory searching for the stars and
did not find them the teacher said:
Get the focus; see that you are on
the right line of vision, then you will
see." Then do we in religious things
turn and ask: What has the focus to
do with it? Can l not see? Have l
not eyes,"
The answer comes: Eyes, you have
eyes, but they are for near by service;
use the telescope for the sweep Of the
universe"
So say we who teach the high and
eternal things of the everlasting king
dom. First clear away the difficulties
in the divine path, obeying the COM
mand, "Take We away the s%tone," then
turn and use faith, Gods eternal
means by which you may look into
the surprising glories Of heaven. For,
"said 1 not unto thee that If thou
wouldst believe thou shouldst see the
glory Of God?"

The pistol-carrying practice is abom-
Unable and cowardly. 1t is a constant
menace to a community, and is largely
responsible for the crimes of assault
and murder. The man who habitually
Tugs a pistol in his hip pocket in a
%peaceable community is not only a de-
liberate violator Of law, but he is a
threat against society. Conscious Of
his unfair advantage, he is more inclin-
ed to be provocative and insulng I'M
der excitement or the stimulus Of
drink, and in a difficulty, which is
often encouraged by his reliance on his
concealed weapon, there is more like
lihood of violence and bloodshed. The
pistol habit should be suppressed as
far as possible by a rigorous enforce
ment of law. The law should be made
more effective in its administration,
and If need be in its provisions. But
the question, whether the making Of
the punishment by Imprisonment COM
pulsory upon the courts, would accom-
plish or promote the desired end,
should be seriously considered.

With how many people does the
business of life mean literally the get
ting of money? We all have dreams
OF philanthropy, perhaps, and would
give something to humanity as well
as take from it. But with how many
of us does the idea of giving come first
and that Of getting take second place?
M~oneymaking is the first great pur-
suit-in this country, at least. And
the fact is showing itself even in the
colleges. The Princeton Alumni Week
ly calls attention to the fact that in
this years freshman class, which con-
ta1ns over 400 students, the number
of men entered for the degree of bach
elor of science considerably exceeds
that entered for the degree of bach
elor of arts. The Weekly notes that
the scientific department at Princeton
now, for the first time in the history
of the institution, is larger than the
academic, and explains this condition
Of affairs by saying that many young
men enter the scientific course with the
definite purpose of slipping out Of it
after sophomore year by taking all the
academic electives Of senior and Junior
years. Unprecedented observers will
view the Increase in the enrolment
In the scientific departments of uni
yersities as evidence Of the growth Of
unitarian views of education. The
spirit Of commercialism has struck
deep into the thought of the time.
Young men are seeking education that
Will help them in the race to get rich.
Maybe the old-fashioned ideas Of edu-
cation, that it simply made cultured
gentlemen with the habit of thinking
things that could not be applied in ac-
tual life was all wrong, and in the fu-
ture the office of the university will be
to make engineers of various sorts.

riches are o an end of existence, but
only a means. He forgets that he may
cultivate within his mind and heart
better riches than lie In all the out
side world. Perhaps the majority Of
fathers and nearly all the sons who
take counsel about the matter at all
do not regard anything as education
which does not definitely and directly
prepare the boy for what is loosely
called the business Of life" Yet this
business of life" includes little that
makes living sweet. Is the aim and
end of twentieth century education,
then, to become again the same as
that of primitive man, the sole enlight-
eminent Of whose darkened intellect
was In the direction Of obtaining sub
sistence?

DOWIE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
BY John Alexander d. vie.


By the grace Of God l am an Ameri-
can citizen. The reason why l became
an American citizen was because l
disliked the monarchical form of gov
eminent, and after years of study de-
cided to renounce English rules and
live under United States protection.
While the republican form Of gov
eminent Is not by any means perfect,
it is, in my opinion, superior to that
common In Europe. Kings, queens and
emperors do not have the interest of
their subjects at heart. Their own
lives are selfish, narrow and incom-
plete.
Contrast some of the present Euro
pean rulers with a few Of our Presi-
dents, consider the personality, the
habits, morals and unselish devotion
toward the public veal of some of our
great executives, and the result is, ac-
cording to my opinion, the unquestion-
ed superiority of our public men of
affairs and the consequent superiority
Of the country they govern.
My mind cannot be said to have been
made up suddenly in this matter. I
have studied the question for fifteen
years in this country and for more
than that in England.
AS a voter in the United States, with
my influence, 1 feel 1 can accomplish
great good.

have pensioned them, but he probably
believes 1t would be wrong to encour-
age murder In that way.
