few weeks ago had interesting conse-
quences. The murderers. religious fan
atics, have not yet been caught and
they are still a to the lives of
Christians. Nevertheless. something
like a religious revival in the commune
ity has followed the death of Mr..

at her post. and his brother. Rev. l..
M. Larabee, b successful pastor at
Doylestown, has offered himself to the
Presbyterian board to take his brothers
place. The father, Rev, DR.. Benjamin

ing greatly diminished.

One Of the projects that will likely
be ~fostered by the American Bible
league. which recently held its first
convention in New York will be the
publication Of a bible dictionary and
encyclopedias giving the views Of con-
sentative biblical scholars.
The address of President Charles
CutnDeTC d8ll AT the meeting OF the
Religious Education association in Phil
adelphia, reviewing the religious con-
ditions Of the time, was h most not
able utterance at that convention. This
address, together with the annual re-
port of President Frank Knight Sand
ers. has been issued in pamphlet form
for free distribution. It may be OBJ
tanned from the secretary, DIR. Ira
Landrith. 1853 La Sale street. Chicago.

which IL coming into such wide favor.
has been issued In cheap editions.
The religious papers are giving un.
usual attention to the relations Of the
workingman and the church. The most
frequent single contributor Is Rev.
Sickle, formerly a machinist and a
member of a labor union, who IL now
employed by the Presbyterian Board Of
Home Missions to study this general
question. He has succeeded in hav-
ing many ministerial unions exchange
fraternal delegates with local labor

are the names Of history's real i'm
mortals; and among them is not one
self On the list. however. are
men like Pau and Luther, whose one
ambition was to make glorious the
name of Jesus.
Power is better than place. 1t Is
worthier to be Il real leader. though
unseen, than to ride at the head of the
procession. Fitness is to be more de-
sired than honor. Zebedee's wife sought
for her som the high places in the
kingdom when she should have been
seeking for them ability to fill such
places. This familiar New Testament
incident illustrates the u%nsoundness Of
the entire principle of pull" To hoist
a person into a place for which he is
not qualified is to do him lasting harm
that will outweigh any present benefit.
In the long run, crowns are given only
to the heads that they fit.
A single. simple. ~selfless purpose is a
clear trail through the jungle of life.
Nothing else makes life so serene,
fruitful and happy. Ask why so
many men of talent fail to arrive at
success, and are miserable all the
while. and the answer must be that
they lacked purpose. Absence of a
definite, noble aim makes life seem
only a complicated wilderness. full of
foes and fevers 1t is the men who
conceive of life as a mission, and who.
like Paul. are animated by the under
lying motive of THE one thing 1 do"

To keep always the simple heart OF

Yet why not? Ambition Is a word that

low and selfish Significance which is
not warranted. The Korean mission
airy is more ambitious than the poll

passion Is to sec that hoary old nation

The quotation accredited To Gen

been generally accepted as genuine
but MIR. John A. Wyeth. cor

erroneous, AS he sets forth in the
following extract:
