There is much in the history Of the quaint
PENNSYLVANIA town Of Bethlehem-called by
some enthusiasts the American Oherammersau
to Justify the compilation of work such as
this. The story of Bethlehem is virtually the
history of the Moravian Church in America. It's
annals are marked hy many troublous events
Founded by refugees from European persecu-
ton, it early became a storm centre. The pecul-
lar doctrines and customs of the MoraVlans
could not but excite the suspicion OF their
neichbors From the first celebration of CHRIST
mas in the rude house built in 1141 the Puritans
looked asllance at the newcomers, and their
hostility was further increa sed by the MoraVlan
adherence to the seventh day as the day of rest
Later the religious scruples of the followers oil
Zinzendorf and Spangenberg against the bear
ing of arms and the taking of an oath brought
trouble upon them, first during the French and
Indian War and later in the War OF the ReVolu-
ton. The narrative of what they endured and
how they bore themselves forms an integral
part of this history. written from Moravian
standpoint as an explanation, not as an apology.

4 Story Of the Possible Pozccrs Of
Colonial Wealth.

RULERS OF KINGS. a Novel. Ry Gertrude Ath-
erton, i2mo, PIP. 413 Harper & Bros.
The first paragraph in this book suggests the
kind Of story that serves only for an hours
idle entertainment. When Fessenden Abbott
heard that he was to inherit four hundred mil
lions of dollars says the author, "he expert
enced the profoundest encouragement he was
ever to know, except on that midnight ten years
later when he stood on a moonlit balcony in
Hungary alone with the daughter Of an en-
peror, and opened his contemptuous American
mind TO the deeper problems of Europe" To
begin in this fashion is to promise the reader
what ought, by all the rules of latterday fiction
to prove unmitigated nonsense. But Mrs Ath-
ertOn has written, nevertheless, in Rulers OF
Kings" really interesting novel Her hero
is the son of an enormously wealthy who
has built up his fortune by the exercise of great
intellectual power. The elder Abbott has no
illusions about the dangers that beset the feet
of the young man to whom vast sums of money
are accessible He believes that to save his
son from failure in life ne must compel him
TO learn how to fight his own battles, and
carries the child to an Adirondack farmhouse
to be brought up IN ignorance of his future
opportunities and possessions Now and then
he visits the boy, and in brief talks gives him
sound ideas. Sometimes he is not as clear. for
so young a listener, he is sound. When he
tells Fessenden that he despises a suob. and his
son asks to be told what a snOb is. the banker
replies, 1.-THE snob is a man who furnishes COM
edy for others and tragedy for himself" That
is more suggestive to the reader than it could
have been for the boy. But generally the father
speaks very much to the point, and makes the
son see clearly enough what he has to do in or
der to achieve happy and profitable manhood
The nature of the millOnaire's system is well
indicated in this of his speeches:
Originally I planned to speak TO you decisively
when you thirteen or fourteen, but 1t seems
to me that you brighter than most boys OF

Most Borroyians-and every is Bor

He records that Captain Thomas Borrow, the
father Of the author Of 'Lavengro,' married
Ann Perfrernent at East Dereham Church in
February, 1893. He was in the militia, so he
and his wife were much in camp and barracks.

achieved success in politics. Their
choice was Marcus A. Hanna, a man
who had never dabbled in politics, but
who had made his own business a sue
cess. In seconding the nomination Of
E. Faxon Bishop I feel myself as high
" honored as Mr. Boyd could have felt
in nominating Mr.. Andrews. He is a
young man who has been pre-eminent-
~ successful in his business. Although
he did not come from under the SOIL,
as George Beckley would say. he raised
himself from the foot of the ladder
upon Hawaiian soil. There are no gray
hairs on top of his head, but he has
gray inside of his head. He may not
have been an adept in the chicanery
of politics, but we may look upon him
and say Behold the man." The trou-
bic we have had in this country is that
we have had too many politicians and
too few statesmen. When we say
''Ecce homo" we should not point to
the ward politician. As Mr.. Smith has
said, this is not personal issue
am free to say if it We're a personal
issue it would have afforded me as
much pleasure as it has Mr.. Boyd to
nominate Mr.. Andrews. This country
has been called an oligarchy since I
first knew anything about the islands,
With at least q part of the Constitu-
ton in force we do not want any more
oligarchy. I do not want a man as
head of this committee who, sitting in
his office, dictates the laws TO the rep
resentatiyes we elect and afterward
have the constituting of those laws. The
fact that Mr.. Bishop has not been a
politician in New York is in his favor.
We do not want any Teammates here.

PERMANENT OFFICERS.
AS temporary organization was al
| ready in effect. it was voted to proceed
with the election of permanent chair
man.
George w. Smith rose and said in
part: We represent the people of this
district. For a chairman of this com
mittee we want a representative citi-
zen, one free from all political eptan-
clements. We want a man who has
never taken a very active part in poll
tics other than as a voter 1t gives me
great pleasure, therefore, to place in
nomination for permanent chairman of
this committee the name of E. Faxon
Bishop. (Applause.)
Robert N. Boyd, first in Hawaiian
and then in English, said: 1t gives
me great pleasure. to place in nominal
ton for chairman of this committee,
| for the reason that we all know that
he is a capable man for the position.
Mr.. Andrews conducted the Young
Mems Republican Club two years ago,
which was a strong factor in the sue
cess of the party at that election. His
work on that occasion proved that he
was a capable man. He went amongst
the people to work for the Republican
party. It IS but small reward for
such work as Mr.. Andrews has per-
| formed to elect him as head of the
Fourth District Committee. I consider
it a great honor TO nominate such E
man for the position. (Applause.)
Glenn K. Quinn, seconding the nomin
alton of Mr.. Andrews, said he was :
