Four men out of five whom you
should meet travelling, if you were
blocked in snowstorm for thirty-s six
hours and had to converse with each
other without intercourse with the out
side world, would commit themselves
to some such statement of their relig-
ion as this: Il think man ought to
do about right. / think he can find
out what is right in the Bible. guess
if he does that he will find the world
after he dies will be good enough
place for him to live In" That is to
say, the American people believe pro-
foundly in a life larger than the life
of things. Men have profound GER
tainty, which nothing shakes, that
there is a God who somehow knows
what is good for them, better than they
know for themselves. The immense
majority Of people are glad to be re-
minded and assured of this ideal life
and Of Him who directs it today
There are enough left of persons at
ia ched to special documentary state
ments and still more to special formal
rituals, to keep for time in existence
the great ecclesiastical organizations.
But with every year it becomes more
and more certain that by the year 1000
no ecclesiastical organization now ex-
listing will have the form which 1t has
at present.

SOME METHODIST STATISTICS.

The year book Of the Upper Iowa
Conference of the Methodist church OF
which Marshalltown district is a part
has lately issued from the press. 1t is
neat pamphlet of 120 pages and con-
tains besides the proceedings Of the
late sessions the statistical reports OF
the pastoral charges, and other matters
of more or less importance to the gen.
eral public.
The Upper Iowa Conference is COM
posed Of about one-fourth the state OF
Iowa, Of English speaking people, but
within the same territory the church
has other conferences Of other Ian
guages. 1t has 2ss travelling preach
ers and eighty three local preachers
The present membership is 36,484. The
valuation of the property held by the
church In this conference is: Churches
s167,34o, there being 335 church build
ings. The 173 parsonages are valued
at $30S,685. One hundred and twenty
five thousand four hundred and thirty
seven dollars was expended during the
past conference year for improving and
building. Upon all the property held
by the church turnout the conference
there is a debt of S62,274, seven-tenths
Of which is upon half dozen church
es.
The Sunday school statistics show
S13 organizations, with 8,946 officers
and teachers and 29,945 scholars. The
current expenses Of the past year have
been s19.51S. The money of the cur
rent expense fund is largely expended
for lesson leaves, Sunday school per-
iodicals and libraries.
The six districts of which the con-
ference is composed have paid their
presiding elders $11,5O9. averaging al
most $4,000 each. The churches have
paid to their pastors $1s1,515, the av-
erage salary of pastors actually on
charges being 1907. Adding to this the
current expenses Of the churches,
which include lights, fuel, sexton and
incidentals, which were s46,472, and the
benevolent collections, $41,697. some
idea is conveyed of what it costs to run
one of the great churches in fourth
Of the state Of Iowa. Multiply all this
by four, for there are four English
speaking conferences in the state and
you have a fair estimate of what the
Methodist church is costing the public,
and also what a financial and business
institution it is.

A GOOD IOB.ys.A BUSINESS.

]. G. Olmstead, a wealthy shoe mer-
chant of De;. Moines, has told the
young men o.. the Des Moines Y. M.
G. A. not to go into business for them
selves If they had a job paying them
from SIS to 500 per month. His con-
tention was that no man should assume
the responsibility Of business until
he had thoroughly learned the line in
which he intended to embark. Mr..
Olmstead admitted that he would rath-
er sell shoes than eat dinner and no
thought that no young man was ready
for business of his own until he could
experience that same feeling. do
your experimenting at the other fell
lows expense" while you are working
on salary, was the theme of this sue
cessful mans advice.
Mr.. Olmsted might have gone farther
and called attention to the fact that
only two or three men in every 100 who
start for themselves finally succeed.
1t is not good advice to discourage
enterprise or curb the ambition that
spurs men on to successful things, but
many man who has a good job at
$75 to 500 per month is far better off
than many another man who is strug-
Cling to make his business venture
succeed and must lie awake nights
worrying over his business troubles.
A great many business men who think
they are succeeding, are denying
themselves and their families the COM
forts of an income Of SIS to 500 per
month in order to pay their interest "r
to keep creditors from taking away
their invested capital. On the other
hand it is not difficult nor a hardship
to live within such an income and live
happily, free from worry and

prehension that something is going to
happen to cause utter ruin to ones

until he has faced 1t.

Mr.. Olmsted that his larger income

"GETTING THRU COLLEGE,"

Iowa College at Grinnell recently is
sued a pamphlet on The Cost and
Meaning of Life in Iowa College," that
will be of helpful interest to young
men without means, but who feel the
need and desire a college education.
The pamphlet is a reproduction of the
answers to letters sent out by the dea:,
of the college to students who work
ed their way" and others whose eX-
penses were provided for by others
asking for a resume of their respect
teresting and valuable conclusion to be
derived from these replies is that any
young man or woman with pluck and
determination may acquire an edu-
cation at a good school, practically
without aid from others.
One young man tells Of arriving in
Grinnell with $12 in his pocket "as
destitute in wisdom as in purse" He
got thru college on an average annual
expense of $500 and was only 500 in
debt when his course had been con-
cluded. Another came with 81, one
with $25 borrowed money. One girl
arrived in Grinnell with exactly so
cents as cash balance. They all
got thru.
All Of these worked and worked hard.
They tended furnaces, waited on table,
cared for horses, shoveled dirt, hauled
wood, delivered trunks III hand CARTS
in short, did any and everything that
offered an honest penny. In their SEN
ior year, some. of them tutored their
Weather school fellows. Every one
of them denied himself He had no
time for athletics and the track and
gridiron were not for him. He could
not shine in society or be regular at
tendant at the theater. But he "got
thru college and took away some
thing more helpful than his diploma,
the reliant knowledge that nothing can
keep a determined and willing worker
away from success.
What has been and is being dons at
Grinnell may be accomplished at al
most any other school. A case read
ily called to mind is that Of married
medical student, without means. He
and his wife rented large house near
the college and took Iii roomers. to
whom they furnished breakfast. The
profits from this venture paid the llv-
ing expenses and college fees thou
three years and netted handsome
sum in bank. AT the large eastern col
leges bright students maintain hand
somely furnished establishments and
ego thru college handsomely by Their
earnings as tutors. Newspaper corres-
pondence offers profitable field. Lack
ing the more lucrative employments,
there are always horses to be cu,fied,
wood to saw, furnaces to watch ana
odd jobs to do.
Every aspiring young man VINO finss
himself fainthearted over his poverty.
should read the Grinnell pamphlet. 1t
is an inspiration and a foothold TO
higher things and will prove to him
that poverty is only hindrance not
barrier to education.

Observation-Disclosures

A recent disturbance between Mos
lens and Armenians in Van, Turkey,
would in all likelihood have grown into
riot and perhaps a massacre of Ar
menians, had it not been for the pres
ence of the American consul from
Harput, DR.. Thomas H. Norton. De
tails of the trouble are learned from
advices just received by the Presley
terians board of foreign missions. 1t
seems that the trouble was started by
the deposition of four Moslenl officials
by the Vail, and for the purpose of
avenging themselves by making trou-
BILE for him, the four and their friends
started gun firing in the streets, in
which one Moslem was killed. The
soldiers in the city, already In half
rebellious state, took up the matter and
marched thru the streets shooting at
Christians. The whole place was
thrown into an uproar of fear and ex
citement and thousand Armenians fled
to the missionary compound.
The English consul was absent, but
1t happened that Dr. Norton was there
and the American flag was flying over
the mission compound, With the
French and Russian consuls and sew
eral American missionaries, DR.. Nor
ton called on the Vail. The latter as
sured them Of his ability to control
the situation, but there was doubt as
to whether he could do so, especially
as it seemed likely that the revolution
lists would become active. All day the
soldiers paraded the streets, shooting.
clubbing and stabbing Christians
wherever found. The people had,
however, shut themselves up in houses
or in missions premises, so but five
were killed. ahho number were
wounded. The missionaries and the
consuls were able to secure q promise
from the leaders that they would leave
the city. This promise was kept and
the trouble died down. The resident. or
Van who sent the advices to the Pres
byterian board says that the great
danger, and it is an ever present dan
ger lay in probable rising OF the
Kurds. If they had once come into the
city, according to this informant,
nothing could have prevented a mass
acre, both in the city and the villages.
They had been waiting for months
for an opportunity to strike. But IN
RESPONSE to the frequent kilograms
sent sent by the consuls to CONSTANT
NOBLE, strong orders came forbidding
the entrance into the city of Hamid1a
Kurds-the Sultan's special service
troops.

What the Simple Gospel Means.
TProf. Adolf Harnack.1

HTOI. AuOll
AS / have already urged, The gospel
must to this end be maintained ana
taught in it's simplicity. A gospel Is
not the real gospel unles 1T can De
understood by any poor boy or simple
minded girl, without their being told
that they must believe this and that,
or else they can not receive the word.
The gospel in it's simplicity means 10
believe that God, the all-powerful ruler
of the universe, is also our Father. IL
means that we get hold of this thought
and experience its meaning, and hold
fast to it, as revealed in the person
of Jesus Christ, who is spoken of by
st. John in the fourth gospel as the
way the truth and the life.
1t may3still be long that Christianity
will bear different hues and various
forms IN the many churches, that are
based upon it, But suffer me to VEN
ture an analogy. We live, as it were,
in a variety of houses, which differ
widely IN external appearance. These
houses are all situated around and in
beautiful, spacious garden. All day
long we work and walk together in the
garden in pleasant conversation. AS
evening falls, each goes to rest in his
own house, fashioned and furnished af-
ter his peculiar choice. Some even
prefer to sleep in the open air. But
we all join in the common wish thar
the days were longer and the nights
were shorter. Some day the, know
ledge of God may be so widespread and
universally acknowledged that there
shall be no need of the special calling
of the preacher. Every one will be q
minister, whether he be tentmaker
like st. Paul, or lawyer or physician.
Bach man will seek to edify and to help
his brother man.
