 ed through the things which are made, even His everlasting power and divinity" The light and the darkness, the heav- ems above and the world beneath, the sea and the land, the herbs yielding seed, and the trees their fruit the sun and moon and stars indices for signs, sea- sons, days and years and giving their light to the earth, the birds and beasts of the earth, after their kind, and lastly, man in the likeness of God. lord over all else, with abundant food in his dominion. All this God spoke into being and saw that 1t was good. The passage Is a read ing in the ordered universe, the goodness of God.
 We are told by physicians that the or dered world is thing of force, by the philosopher that It is thought, and dis plays an intelligence In It's creation and preservation. But the moralist say as well that 1t Is a gift of goodness, re- vealing the grace of the creator. Such is the lesson of this great writing.
 World a Gift of God.
 Let us learn few lessons which fol- low as correllaries from this exposition:
 1. God being sovereign goodness, man made in his image should be also. We are placed here not only to have domin- ion over the works of his works but to exercise that dominion as he did in malS- ing the world better and better as an abode of his creatures. The obligation to improve the world Is one which rests upon us, not only because it is commit ted to us of God, but also because we are made in Gods image. He who abuses Gods good world is less than man. This good world is ours to rule oyer' a. sons of God, who are made in his like ness.
 2. This good world is ours richly to en- joy. God intended life to be good among men and has abundantly provided for it., and we sin when we make ourselves and others miserable. Our Saviour taught this beautifully when He made the spar row and the lily teach us our Father s care as a reason why we should put away corroding anxiety.
 There Is no place for the pesslmist in Gods good world, but everything is pro- vided for happiness of life. When God lOOkeQ over lIc WOIlus DNiOld it "o9 fNA y good. In it He had put man in His Image to live in this realm of His goodness.
 Gods Goodness in the Universe.
 3. We miss the very fragrance of life on earth If we fail to see in its environ ment the goodness of God. This makes the material laden with the moral, the temporal the vehicle of the eternal, the natural the forerunner of the spiritual. Failure to read the goodness of God fin the ordered world in which we live leads not only to the sin of ingratitude to God but deprives life of its richest and great est blessing. The Psalmlst well says. Alas for me unless I had believed to see the goodness of God in the land of the living"
 The lesson, therefore. of this passage intended by the prophet is that God is good, and has made all the earth good and man In His own image must be good and rule the earth in goodness. That les son Is worth all your cosmogonic specula- tions of all the peoples of the earth a thousand times over. The mystery of creation we may not solve, yet this lesson of divine goodness and mans duty to be | good is writ large on its every work

the Reed Smoot case was exhaustiyely
reviewed by Mrs. Margaret D. Ellis Of
New Jersey. In reference to the Hep

hibition territory from the sale of in

That the standard of journalism in
America was due to the influence OF the
women Of the country was the keynote
of the report submitted by Mrs. Emile
D. Martin Of the department for the
promotion Of purity in literature and
art.
"The women of this country" said
Mrs. Martin, should bear in mind that
it was this organization that stood by
the best expression Of journalism 30 that
even suggestive illustrations are dis
carded. Every state and territory will
be asked this coming year to sustain the
press in its efforts to mirror the rising
tide OF the decent and the beautiful, 80

Shift Of Scene In Fall River
Mill Crises.
JOY OVER COTTON BREAL
Strikers Hopes Revived While Manu-.
facturers Are More Anxious Than
Ever to Be Running Again and
Get Into Markets.

Fall River, Dec "a complete change
Of scene has accompanied tho latest and
most important developments In the Fall
River min crisis. Within the past IS
hours all eyes have shifted from the
vicinity of the mill gates, where the
steady but slow increase Of returning
operatives has been for three weeks add
ing to the din Of the machinery, to the
cotton pit, where far more significant
and sensational developments are taking
place.
The progress Of the battle there is
being watched with a common concern
By manufacturer and operative, which
makes both forget the local details for
the time. The cause Of the whole trou-
bic has been the fact that the local
mills could not stem the tide Of market
conditions and run without heavy
loss.
The break in cotton from the vicinity
Of 10 cents to $50 within As hours, has
caused Joy on all sides. The strikers
view it as the revival Of all their hopes.
1t establishes conditions which viii set
the manufacturers itching for chance
to be running again and getting into
the markets; it viii raise for the manu-
facturer a margin which viii easily
make possible higher wage scale and
may prompt them TO make concessions.
In that event the strike leaders believe
that their defeat is again far removed
from the danger line. They are making
the most Of il in their efforts to keep
the strikers out this next week.

In the later years Of his life Mrs
Rockefeller. who was q Cleveland girl
never has been able to persuade her
husband to remain IN Cleveland for
any length OF time. She never got him
into the city but he became possessed
OF an unconquerable desire to get out
Of It again. When her daughters were
unmarried Mrs. Rockefeller frequent

her husband. she does still, but less
frequently.
The trust king never went into de-
tails, even with his wife, in giving
reasons for his dislike of Cleveland.

Of his business life be did not care to

sons who knew him during his early

Long before John D. Rockefeller had
climbed into the muidmIilionalre class
Mrs. Rockefeller made up her mind
that the family burial plot was going
to be in Cleveland II she could not
remain in the surroundings OF her girl
hood while she lived she was deter
mined that nothing should prevent ii
after she was dead. When the Lake
View Cemetery association was start

bringing up her family ia Cleveland
she went to look al fine plot on Il
hill overlooking Lake Erie. One of Ter
relatives died soon afterward. aud she
persuaded Mr.. Rockefeller to buy the

ONE HIGHER HILL.
From Liaotishan the Russians Shell laps
New Position.

Toxic, Dec. 3.--Liaotishan is the only
hill now held by the Russians at Port
Arthur that is higher than 203 Meter
HILL which the Japanese took on the
evening of Nov. 30. The forts upon it
lombard 200 Metre ELL in only a desul-
tory manner.
It is stated that the successful occu-
patton Of the height was due to the
quickness Of the Japanese. Large REIN
forcements Of Russians on their way
to the assistance of the garrison were
half way up the hill when the Japanese
carried the summit, and the garrison,
rushing down, threw the reinforcements
into such disorder that counter attack
was not attempted. However, the jap
anese applauded the gallantry of the
Russians in their subsequent attempts
to retake the hill.
The Russians are still threatening tile
Japanese communications, but the DEM
constructions are not considered impor-
tant.
The mine dragging ships Of the Rus
slams have resumed operations at the
mouth Of the harbor, and this is con.
sidered significant.
