PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.

Bt Kew oa8 HOpFGFs
The Kingdom of heaven is like unto
merchantmen seeking e odly pearls;
who. when he had found one pearl OF
great price went and sold all that he
had and bought it."
1t ought to come with force 10 tL>s
practical age that the kingdom OF
heaven is. by Christ's own testimony
like unto a merchantman. 1t is not
like the dreamer or the poet only. but
like the man of business prudent
sagacious, practical man. the man OF
energy and of action. the man who
keeps his books and carefully lays his
plans.
This parable is as true to the life OF
our time as TO that of 1860 years ago
Our age has been vario lsly character
lied AS the age of silver, gold, steam
AMI electricity. There is one word in
this parable which. believe. describes
the present age more clearly than any
other word in the English language:
ii is the word seeking" There never
was time when men were seeking Sc
intently, so widely and variedly a.
now. And like the merchantmen OF
the parable 1t is ''goodly pearls" for
which they seek. We are all seekers
In preaching, in business. in thinking
In literature, music and art--every.
where-we are seeking for pearls OF
the greatest worth
From the Christians viewpoint there
is but one star. the star of BetIllc.
hem" and Jesus would have US guided
by that. He declared the kingdom of
God TO be the pearl of great price
Seek first the kingdom of God" The
kingdom of God for you and NE is
Christliness here, now. yoRder and
forever.

MEANING OF UNIVER3ALIsM
Ry RaV Tosenh 4 Aaso,

To say that God is our father and
yet to affirm that he will even cease
to love his children or that he will
doom them to hopeless evil or sweep
them out Of existence is to use words
in an unwarrantable sense. AS hu-
man parentage stands for sympathy,
forgiveness, loving, ii sometimes Sc
we're, discipline. and care that never
changes. so divine fatherhood means
the same thing. This is confirmed by
the character of Christ. He that hath
seen me hath seen the father said Je-
sus, and what do we see in him? A
sympathy that brought him to the hap
by and festive scenes of human life
and love so DISTINGUISHED and death
less. even for the unworthy, that 1t led
him to pray in his dying moments,
Father. forgive themr
This is our standard and interpre-
tation of divine fatherhood. More
over, this relation is universal and i'm
partial.
Now, nat are the influences Of this
great affirmation of the divine father
hood? One only can mention here,
and that is that we are all brethren.

CHILE is RiCH in MINERALS.

Coal, Nitratcs and Copper Abound in
South American Country.
The famous coal mines of Lota and
Coronel have an annual yield of 1.OO0.-
600 tons and employ 1900 laborers.
This not only supplies Chile'S needs,
but also Goals nearly all the European
steamers touching the borders. The
coal IS what is termed soft but it is
of good quality. The country imports
some hard coal.
The most important mineral industry
is. OF course, the nitrate of soda. Chile
ut present has over 100 nitrate works
The crude material called caliche). is
found under a conglomerate, in beds
varying from few inches to twelve
feet in thickness. The process of ex-
traction is one of lccching and refining
by crystalization. About l. 100000 met
ric tons of 2.204 pounds each are an
nualy produced. estimated to be worth
S54, G00,000 in Europe.
About four-fifths of all tie nitrate
exported goes to England and the con-
tnent. Great Britain alone taking one
third and Germany a little less. A
large amount of British capital is in
vested in the nitrate fields. sixteen of
the largest companies alone represent

PLAN TO EXCHANGE BABIES.

Clearing House by Which Different
\ationaIities Are Traded.
One Of the curious things run across
in Europe is the scheme of a French.
man named Michael Breal, preached as
long ago as 1886. ana which is being
again taken up.
1t consists of d wholesale exchange,
a swapping of children from one fam
lily to another.
Here is Partisan father in modest
estate, with a son. This man has an
ambition that his child shall have Il
thorough knowledge of German. The
proper thing would be to place the
child in some German family for Il
while. But the difficulty for the father
is TO discover just the right sort OF
family-one who would receive the
child. and. above all. one who had Il
child to swap. The Partisan father
would be spending no extra money in
housing the German child and teach
ing ii French, while his own was eat
ing at German table. Meanwhile

man named Toni Matthew saw the

German or Scandinavian families. only

"Of all the disgusting animals
that inhablt the globe, the little
fellow who goes from candidate to
candidate with the plea 'lemme

promising his support and in
fuence on election day surpasses
them all. To hear him tell it, his
support and influence is absolutely
necessary to enable the candidate
to win, and the most surprising
part is he finds so many candidates
soft enough to be taken In. If
those who are running for Office
would stop this horrible practice
they would save themselves good
many dollars and make the cam
paign much more pleasant. So
Rich!and and Aiken counties are
not the only places infested by
these vultures-n nor the only places
where the bazzards find support.
But Rich.and is the only county in
which stand has been made

are not to degenerate into elections
as corrupt as those held in the

honest element in the State must
fight and stamp out this rapidly
