els, president of the company, to the
house committee on industrial arts
and expositionS. Mr.. Francis was ac-
companied by a number of officers of
the company. Preliminary to his
statement Chairman Tawney an
nounced that the senate committee
had the matter under consideration
as an amendment to the urgent def
cheney appropriation bill. 1t was pro-
posed to have this amendment intro
duced in the house in the form of a
bill. The hearing was, he said, to per
NIT members to be informed as to

consideration in the senate committee
had been, he said, drawn with great
care 1t provided for q loan Of 4,50O,-
600 to the exposition company.
Mr.. Francis reviewed every feature
of the enterprise at length. In acre
age, he said, it eQualled the Chicago,
Buffalo and Paris expositions COM
bined. Foreign governments had ap-
propriated a total of $7,500,00O fol
their buildings and exhibits. The states
and territories have appropriated an
aggregate of s7,OOO,0O0. He said the
estimate of $4,000, 900 as the cost of
the exhibition had been found to be de-
cidedly too low. Chicago had expended
$22 000, 900 before opening the gates.
With the loan now asked the exposi-
tion would, he said, represent an ex-
penditure of SIS, 600, 900.
The increased cost of labor as COM
pared with this item of expenses at the
Chicago exposition, he said, amounted
to at least 25 per cent. Labor was SO
per cent of the cost of the exposition
and this increase alone amounted to at
least 50 800 600

bearing one another and forgiving one

SO also do ye." But while that tower

that "above all these things put On
love" 1t is like climbing the Alps.
While the loftiest peak is still ahead
and unscaled the mountaineer is unsat-

summit he may view all the lesser
peaks. So the Christian is urged by
Paul to mount up and still up. Put
on compassion, but do not be content
to rest at that altitude. Put on kind
ness, but do not delude your heart into
the thought that kindness is the full
expression of the Christian life. Lift
up the eyes and behold the heights still
beyond. Attain meekness and long
suffering, and forbearance and forgive
ness, and still love, the ''summum bo-

ment needed to unite and make of the
