THE ENGLISH SPARROW AGAIN.

The English sparrows are catching
it again. Now it is said that they are
responsible for the pestilence of cater
pillars that is making life miserable
and out of door comfort impossible in
Kansas and which threatens to take
away all the charm of the golden au-
tumn usually the best of the season in
this locality. These fuzzy pests crawl
upon the walks, drop from the trees
and creep into the houses. At every
step sou have the pleasant sensation of
treading them under foot. At any mo-
ment you are likely to feel them cud-
ding against your neck. And for all
these favors, we are told. the English
sparrows are to thanked. They drive
away exterminate the other birds
that would otherwise have destroyed
the eggs of the caterpilIars and saved
us from this plague.
The only surprising thing about this
explanation is that it comes so late. 1t
has been the fashion of recent years TO
attribute every scourge, pestiIence and
disaster to the English sparrows. The
sparrows are almost as good a scape-

marvel. Defeats are victories; advanc-
ings are delays. Our seeming undoing
is our making, and the apparent tri-
umph proves to be one of the saddest
days OF life.-Rev. P. Duckworth, Epis-
copalian, St Louis.
LIVING BEYOND SELF.
1t is one of the majestic elements of
human life that we can live beyond
Ideals in the persons of those whom We
love and sometimes can live to see ltlose
hopes and those ideals fulfilled. This
is true not only for parents and their
children; it has been true for great
teachers and their beloved disciples, and
it has been true in the higher regions
offriendship between the noble and lof-
ty in soul and those younger and kim
bred spirits on which they have i'm
pressed themselves-Rev. Charles Cuth-
bert Hall, Presbyterian. New York.
A MORAL WORLD.
You may not see the moral nature of
this world because you are not suffi-
GENTLY moral to take the right view.
You look for results in the wrong di-
rection. Your idea of Justice is that
goodness should be fat and f1ourishing,
while wickedness should wither with
mechanical precision. If the reward
morality would disappear and men
become cold, calculating machines. As
the world is you will find goodness al
ways rewarded if you look within
recognition than the joyous conscious
ness of duty alone. Spurious goodness,
the goodness which calculates, will not
find this reward and is entitled to no
other Yes, this is a moral world. God
is in league with whatever is good
Rabbi Alexander Lyons, Hebrew, Chi
cago.
NONESSENTIAL.
Those who appreciate what ChriSt's life
was here upon earth-Iowly patient and
full of hardship-can scarcely believe that
have much wealth or little, whether we
live in fine houses or plain ones, whether
we have gorgeous apparel or homely. The
some dangerous toy is withheld, and we
know, with our wider experience, that its
dren in the sight of God-weak, ignorant,
foolish, grasping at the moon and stars,
grieving over unattained ambitions, sigh
ing over losses that are not worth our
fears. Earthly blessings are not to be
scorned; that would be cant and hypoc-
risy. They are to be priced and protected
if Providence confers them, but they are
not the highest things.-Rev. Olin Scott
Roche, Episcopal, New York.
COST OF WAR.
While nations are at war let us reflect
real real estate in PefSe Oak P PaPs wonid
All the. buildings and lands of Harvard
university cost less than one of these
the money spent by the University of
Michigan for its running expenses since
its organization amounts to less than is
invested in one warship. And the new
ones are to cost more. All the money
spent by the government in New York
llarbor in blowing up He'll Gate and Hal
let's Reef and Flood Rock from 1851 to
1885, and when that work began the Of
fetal survey reported SO ships on the rocks
in two months, all that work, which has
saved millions upon millions to our COM
merce, cost less than one of those new
battleships. 1t is time for humanity to
cry out against the horrors and the tinan-
cIal cost OF war.-Rev; william q. Barton,
Congregat ionalist, Oak Park, Ill.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings of
All denominations.

You may know what Gods purpose
is for your life and then be able to do
all things according to the pattern
shown in the mount.-Rev. DIR. Boyn-
ton, Detroit.
MARRIAGE AS AN EXPERIMENT.
The ease with which divorce may be
procured leads to ill advised and hasty
marriages. With many marriage is
merely an experiment, for they know
that if they are not satisfied they can
be freed, if not in one state, then in
another.-Rev. Alexander Lewis, Con-
gregatfonalist, Worcester, Mass.
GOODNESS IS GREATNESS.
Man is greater in his goodness than
he is in anything else in this life, there
fore the man who strives to do the will
of God is greater in his goodness than
the man who wins Battles on the field.
If we wish to be great in the sight OF
God let us try to follow in his sight OF
God let us try to follow IN his foot
steps-Rev. A. p. McA1liSter, Univer-
saliSt, Riverside, Cal.
NO ACCIDENTS.
Every life lived and every work done
has somewhere its sufficient explana-
ton. God has never yet permitted an
accident in his world. Every deed has
it's pedigree So much producing ener-
gy in the cause means so much energy
in the effect. There is no such thing
Rev. r. A. McFadden, Presbyterian,
Danvers, Mass
DIVINITY OF THE WILL.
A benefcient will is divine. The pos
session of will in man is the possession
of the spark of divinity which sepa-
rates him from the cIod. The different
gradaticns of being, from the lowest
organisms at the foot of the scale 70
the divine being, are differences in the
power of will All good and all virtue
are positive, and a benefcent will is
divine.-Rev. Charles ]. Little, Meth
odist, Evanston III.
TRUTH IN PARADOX
Would you live, you must die to self
Would you be exalted, you must be
brought low. Shopping to conquer is
the divine method. Fiery natures must
be deepened, and the processes of God
to accomplish these ends make men

ALL BUT COMPLETED.

Tempe's new railroad station Is all but finished Yesterday the graveling was doEe and all that remains to do $ the painting. The first regular trains stopped at the new station yesterday but no schedule will be followed until after the issuance of the new time card by the Southern Pacific. It is un- derstocd that this will happen in a few days and will make a number of changes in the time of trains.
 When the new station is fully com pleted and ready for use, and after the new time table has been issued, it will in every way answer the same purpose as the depot west of town. IL is ex- pected that a ticket stand will be placed at the Casa LOma where tickets can be procured without going to the regular depot.
