Home Mission Matter.
Mas. GEo. PKERr, Editor.


While we are fresh from one week
of prayer, would it not be well for
each of us to examine ourselves and
see If we measure up to the plumb

Womau's Home Mission Socie.yP

for monthly dues, % cents per year

home mission literature, help cafe fo r
the parsonage in her community, and
SO far as she is able see that no man,
woman or child within the sphere of
her influence is neglected, nor desti-
tute, nor without a personal invita-
ton to Christ. Some of us do some
of these things, but do any of us do

Pertinent Points in President
Roosevelt's Message to Congress

Wage-workers have an entire right
to organize and 10y all peaceful and
honorable means to endeavor 10 per-
suade them fellows to join with them
in organizations. They have under no
circumstances the right to commit
violence upon those, whether capitalists
or wage-wol kers, who refuse to sup
port their organizations, or who side
with those with whom they are at odds;
Tor mob rule Is intolerable In any form.
Wherever the national government
has power there should be stringent
employers liability law, which should
apply to the government itself where
the government is an employer Of
labor.
The ever-increasing casualty list up
on our railroads Is a matter OF grave
public concern, and urgently calls for
action 10y the Congress.
There is no objection 20 employers OF
the government forming or belonging
To unions; but the government can
neither discriminate for nor discriminate
against non-union men who seek To be
employed under IL.
In my judgment the most important
legislative act now needed as regards
the regulation OF corporations Is this
act TO confer ON the Interstate Com
merce Commission the power to revise
rates and regulations, the revised rate
To ut once go into effect, and To stay In
effect unless and until the court OF
review reverses IL.
No Christian and civilized communl-
~ can afford To show n happy go-lucl<y
lack concern for the youth OF to-day;
for, II SO, the community will have Ia
pay terrible penalty of financial bur.
den aud social degradation in the to-
morrow. There should be severe child.

In 1907 there viii be held at Hamp-
ton Roads the tricentennial celebra-
ton OF the settlement at jamestown,
Va, with which the history OF what
has now become the United States re-
ally begins. 1 commend this to your
favorable consideration. 1t Is an event
OF prime historic significance, In which
all the people OF the United States
should feel, and should show, great
and general interest.
The power of the government to
protect the integrity OF the elections of
It's own officials Is inherent, and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
peated declarations OF the Supreme
Court. There Is no enemy of free gov:
eminent more dangerous and none 80
insidious MS the corruption OF the cleo
torate. No one defends or excuses
corruption, and 1t would seem to fol-
low that none would oppose vigorous
measures To eradicate 1t. 1 recommend
the enactment of n law directed against
bribery and corruption in Federal cleo
tons.
1t is not merely unwise, It Is con-
temptible, for n nation, as for an indI-
vidual. to use high-soundlng language
TO proclaim it's purposes, or to take
positions which are ridiculous II unsup-
ported by potential force, and then TO
refuse TO provide this force. II there Is
no intention OF providing and OF keep
ing the force necessary to back up a
strong attitude, then 1t Is far better
not TO resume such an attitude.
The strong arm OF government In en-
forcing respect for it's just rights In In
ternational matters IL the navy of the
United States. l most earnestly re-
commend that there bo no halt In the
work OF upbuilding the American
navy.
Our people must keep steadily before
their minds the fact that the iustiflca-
ton for our stay in tho Philippines
must ultimately rest ceieny upon the
good we are able 20 do in the islands.

81 deed, was not Observation-Disclosures.
especially Christmas, bored me.
l wished the season were over and the
new year begun. The train pulled out
of the station. and took up news
paper.
Suddenly my paper was crushed back
on my face, pair of small arms were
thrown around my neck and the round
face OF boy about four years old was
thrust within an inch Of my nose. By
what right he assumed to treat per-
feet stranger In this demonstratlye
fashion l could not conceive
You little scamp, what do you
meanT
'I'm goin' home TO spend Christmas"
At that moment the conductor came
along for tickets and told me that the
boy had been put in his charge. He
was 20 meet his father at st. Louis.
The little imp unclasped his hands as
suddenly as he had clasped them and
made dash for the door. dashed
after him, reviling the parent who
would put a child his age In the care
of conductor, and dragged him back.
This l did dozen times during the
day. When not trying TO get on the
platform he was trying to sell an old
| knife (no blades) to the passengers to
raise Christmas money. At first they
put him away, some of them impa-
tiently, Others gently, but he was so
persistent and got up such remarkable
financial schemes that at last every
one in the car was laughing at him.
There was something in this ire
sponsible naturalness that won my
heart. At nightfall. since there was no
one TO pay any attention to him, |
called the porter, fed him and told
him to make up the child's berth,
which happened to be directly opposite
my own. Then the boy got sleepy, and
1 told him the sandman was com
ing around to weight his lids, and II
he didn't keep awake till he was I'M
dressed he wouldn't see the old fellow.
l wished to keep him awake till the

porter could undress him. Neverthe-
less he fell asleep in my arms. and az
the porter was busy concluded TO I'M
dress him myself
awake up! l said, shaking him.
He opened his eyes. "Has the sand
man been around?" was his first Ques-
ton.
Il should think so; long ago. It's bed
time"
IL was n hard hunt had all over
his little body for buttons, but found
them. His shoe laces were in a knot
but 1 united them and put him to bed
in his undergarments. Giving me a
hug like bear cub he fell back on the
pillow and was asleep before 1 could
cover him up
Before turning in myself / took a
look at him to assure myself he was
all right. Drawing the curtains, the
lamplight fell on his face. What a
picture OF iinocence. Where was he
going? He didn't know. Who took
care OF him? He didn't care Perhaps
the parent who had sent for him was
at that moment anxious about him
a way. / had q dread that he would
wake up in the middle of the night
with collie But if his parent worried,
If 1 worried, there was one who was
not in the least troubled about him. 1t
was himself.
In the night 1 dreamed that was be-
ing garroted. / awoke and found my
self tightly clasped around the neck
l put my hand up to discover what
was choking me and felt n tiny arm
with hand on it no bigger than my
watch and five soft little fingers. A
stream of lamplight came in where
the curtains hung loose. 1t revealed
the boy sound asleep. How he got
there / didn't know, and doubt if he
knew himself.
The next morning he resumed his
negotiations with the passengers tc
raise Christmas money, but the most
impudent thing he did was to ask me
! If he had not lent me cents the night
before. This to me, who had spent
money for him and had taken such care
OF him!
l felt a touch on my shoulder and
turned my head. A gentleman In tho
seat behind me, with benevolent fac'
and twinkle in his eye, was looking
| at me.
