Tell Recruits What to Expect
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer


The United States navy needs 5000 more
men and needs them at once, hence recruit
ing officers are to be sent through the west,
where better, at least more abundant,
material has been found of late years
than on the seaboard, which would be the
natural recruiting ground. So much has
been printed of late concerning dissatisfac-
ton and assertions from the navy that il
is found more than a little difficult to in
duce men of the right kind to enlist.
This is evil, however, for which the
responsible and out of which good may
come after all. 1t may lead TO changes
which will make the enlisted mans lot less
hard and thus render the recruiting party's
task more easy. There is doubtless a rea-
son for this constant desertion. and prob
ably il is something besides the necessarily
severe discipline of the service, the TN
avoidable confinement to the ship, the mo-
notonous bill of fare, or the traditional
restlessness of the American youth. or
man for that matter, under restraint.
The Navy Department and Its recruiting
officers should be more frank than hereto
fore, and tell applicants for enlistment pre-
cisely what they must expect ii they enter
service; in other words, what they viii be
up against" Too many men are now en-
listed who have wholly false idea OF HE
in the navy, an idea gained for the most
part from attractive colored posters IN re-
cruiting offices and cheap picture papers.
By telling applicants beforehand facts that
they now have to learn by hard experience,
which often tempts to desertion, 1t might
be made harder to enlist men, but would
certainly be made easier to retain them
Shattered illusions cause many deseruons.

Sowing the Bible.

From Everybody's Magazine.
In Armenia the distribution of the Bible
by missionaries is especially difficult Yet
the book is eagerly read by the natives
when it falls into their hands, as may be
the Bible men. copy of the Bible was
given TO a patient in the American Hospi-
tai. and by him carried to his home In
village. Here Armenian priest took it
from the man, and, having torn II to pieces
threw it into the street. A grocer picked 1t
up and took ii to his shop where he began
to use it as wrapping paper. So for time
olives. cheese, candles and other things
sent forth from that store were wrapped in
pages upon which were printed the Words
of Life
In this way one Bible was scattered about
through that village, and was read bymany
whose interest was SO far aroused that
they began asking for more OF the same
book. The result was that when the col
porteur next came round over one hundred
Bibles or portions of the Bible were sold
in that village. North and south east and
west the Bible Society sows; and that no
ground is too barren for its seed surely the
following incident proves:
A Cree Indian and his son, fishing in the
northwest some years ago during the win
ter season. travelled on snow shoes across
the plains, thinking that they carried what
they called the Book of Heaven" in their
pack. When they reached hunting
ground. 40 miles distant from the fishery,
they found that the book had been left be-
hind. One of them went back on his tracks
and walked $50 miles through the wild
country to regain that Bible.

how human it is to err, but that there is
pardon for all transgressors.
Those in the rotunda who were not gaz-
ing from between the bars of the prison
cage, under the influence of the music and
the words of the preacher. no doubt were
brought to a keener realizatio of their
duties. The milk of human kindness
flowed, they felt more charity for the
fallen. more sympathy for the weak mortal

within him to run away with his better
judgment and reason to such an extent
that he interferes with the rights OF other

the great prisoner chorus sings, this time

sing with impressive effectiveness.

Shade Trees,

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Philadelphia enjoys the merited distinc-
ton of being city of homes, but one of
the features that minister to the JOY of
urban life is absent in too many of the city
thoroughfares. Thousands of attractive
dwellings are erected every year on new
streets in which not one shade tree is to he
found for many blocks. The planting of
trees is the last thing thought of-or mora
likely, is forgotten altogether-by builders.
VINO provide every other comfort and con-
venience for their tenants. An Occasional
shaded avenue emphasizes the aridity of
other streets, and speaks volumes for the
man who thought of the trees Arbor daH
goes by with little or no addition tn The
number of shade trees in portions of the
city where they are most needed. MANY
trees are ruined by the tree butcher. A
society Tor the propagation and protection
OF shade trees in the city streets would and
a wide field for its activities. We have n
noble park and many small parks and
squares, but these do not suffice Every
residential street in which il is nossih,a -
make trees grow should be in some sense
parklike and inviting in summer.
Inc large American cities as rule are
far behind the great European municinaIi
ties IN making such provision for public
comfort and civic beauty. Nearly So 600 OOO
has been expended for tree planting on tho
boulevards of Paris. The New England
cities owe their attractiveness to the noble
elms that grace the streets. The Proyri-
dence Journal in calling attention to the
approach of Arbor day says that Rhode
Island has kept 1t Loyalty since 1887 and
always with enthusiasm A New ENGLAND
writer truthfully remarks that a village
shaded by thoroughly grown elms cannot
but be handsome.
Its houses may be huts; its streets NAV
be ribbed with rocks or channeled with
ruts; 1t may be as dirty as New York and
yet these vast, jestic tabernacles of the
air would redeem 1t to beauty Time is the
only architect of such structures. and
blessed are they for whom time was pleased
to forethink.''
1t is not in our cities alone that the shade
tree is neglected. Many of our PennsyIya-
MIA villages are ari places. Farmers omit
to cheer the traveller on his way by plant
ing trees along the pathside. 1t is not a
question of the lumber supply and the rain
fall alone. The shady lane appeals to all
for its own sake There should be an mex
orable law that for every tree slain another
should be planted. 1t is said of Sir Walter
Scott that, after an absence from home his
first duty was to visit every tree on the
estate to see how it was getting on. This
is the friendliness which we should cultivate
toward trees. If this spirit were abroad the
city desert would bloom.
There are crawling yet upon the face of
the earth remorseless men, smitten with
blindness and inwardly dead, whose only
thought of a tree is that 1t is food for the

ural expression of men restrained by prison
walls for violating the laws of God and
man.
One who can sit in the rotunda of the jail
with that volume of melody about him
flooding the room with its affecting APP
peal and not feel the power of music must
be out of tune with the world and with
nature, and devoid of essential feelings
that link man to the divine.
Again the great chorus sang a hymn.
"All to Jesus 1 Surrender. to the tune of
Annie Laurie" and the familiar strains of
that old song were brought out with great
effect One other song in particular the
prisoners sang with effective earnestness and
sympathy. The lines of the refrain to this
hymn were:
There is rest for the weary,
There is rest for you.
On the other side of Jordan.
In the sweet fields of Eden,
Where the tree of life is blooming;
There is rest for YOU.
AS the great prisoner chorus proceeded
with the musical repetition of this re-
frain containing the promise of rest and
salvation each man in it seemed to forget

belonged to the execution; looking upon all
these things as detestable objects and
which for that reason ought to be removed
out of sight.
The empress therefore ordered the pro-
fame buildings to be pulled down, the
statues to be broken in pieces and the rub
bish to be removed, and upon digging to

that one of the three crosses was that

Of Love warned man that 1.-The wages of
sin is death" Man scorned loves warning
and sinned Then felt within him that sin
is fatal disease. So came Jesus to put
away sin by His death, that as sin reigned
unto death, even might grace reign,
through righteousness, unto eternal life
through Jesus Christ. Grace means He
died for our sins that we, set free from sim,
made alive unto God. might live. He came,
then, to free us from that death which
means separation from the living God; to
reconcile us to God in one only way. by
death, so that here on earth we might live
with God. And. further, He came to free
us from the fear of thar death which is the
blowing out of the candle. By rising from
the dead. and so bringing life and immor-
tality to light by His gospel, He inspires
the hope of Immortality. Hence we do not
