The Pulpit VitaIized.

Pulpit power, which for time

ing, and it is largely because the
preaching is less of a literary charac.
ter, less of finished essays and topical
discussions, semi-secular. It is now
more yitalized and energiZed With the
Spirits power. Those who heard some
or our most famous preachers ten wears
ago would scarcely believe they were
the same men speaking if heard to-day.
Or. Gunsaulus, who used to deliver
those polished sermons in Plymouth
church. Chicago, ten years ago. could
not hold the great audience in the
downtown auditorium which he adj.
dresses now if he used those old-time
sermons, or better ones of the same or.

which admonished him that nothing

Hills used to charm literary audience
In Central Music Hall with an ESSAY
which glittered like newly cut stone
from the hands Of a lapidary, but if re
ports are true, that is not the kind oil
sermons that Dr. Hills is preaching
now. Indeed, he himself is quoted re
Gently as saying that oratorical pulpit
fights are the bane OF preaching. and
that clergy and laity shared an equal
responsibility in the saving of souls.
The preacher" said DR.. Hills. must
not treat on topical subjects SUNDAY

pei of Jesus Christ. The church is not
the preachers field; it is his force. and
it is the man who has not crossed the
church's threshold for years upon
whom you have a claim.'' 1t is that
possibility which makes a preachers
work inspiring. but also tremendously
responsible. What Sabbath NAV he

Is it done? just a word here and
there. Truly we call his the gospel Of
womanhood, but it is only a part Of
that broader vision of the true pur-
poses of Jesus and His work.
Perhaps the most direct proof of the
quality Of Luke's gospel is in its charm
of expression. Where can you find
anything more exquisite than the story
of the birth ut Bethlehem. OF of the
scene in the synagogue at Nazareth. or
than the pathetic story Of the widow

nerY" We should need to take a whole
book to make such profound impress
sions. Tie stories OF Mary and Mar
tina and of Zacheus or that walk to
Emmaus-how impossible to read it
without having our hearts burn within
us also! Luke was truly portrait
painter. An ancient legend said Luke
was the founder of Christian art.
Now the last and finest test OF per-
lection is unity Passages in the book
OF Luke are like gems in royal crown.
The book is tribute of reverent dis
ciple to the Lord Christ, showing His
relationship to man and striving to
convey the impression of His personal
lty. AS if Luke should say: Cannot
you see that He embodied the univer.
sal ideal OF perfectly God-like. life,
that He over-passed human possibility
and gave in His life the evidence of be-
ing divine?" To be appreciated the
book must be constantly and reverent-
ly read until it is fixed in the memory.
Then it will do its constructive work in
our souls. 1t will encourage US, that
gospel of Luke, to let the whole Bible
have its right of way in our lives. and
It will suggest the way in which the
Bible can become, in our hearts, the
source of genuine and constant up
building.

There's a reason.
Now why was this great change made
in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind Of

medicine. There. is but one sure way,
and that is to quit the old food that has
failed and take OH Grape-Nuts food,

of a French naval lieutenant who had

He offered the goods for sale at
about one-fourth of their value and
was arrested on suspicion. He pro-
tested to the police that he came into
possession of the goods honestly. When
pressed he declared that he won the
articles at poker in the lumber woods.
Oleson said he had been in the
woods many months. The lumberjacks
received no money while in the woods,
but were expected to wait until they
returned to town for their pay. At the
company "store" in the woods the men
could get such articles as they desired
however, having them charged against
their time. Accordingly the men used
merchandise instead Of checks in their
games.
Oleson said he played in good luck
and in one game where socks were the
stakes, he won LIS pairs of the hos

held trio Of kings.

Roads in Pennsylvania.


In the report Of the legislative COM
mittee to the Pennsylvania State
Grange is the following relating to
the road laws of that State:
All the people have equal rights to
the public roads, and we cannot under
stand why the farmers should alone
have been compelled to build and main
tain them. Good roads are also of
equal Importance to all interests, there
fore no class of property should refuse
to assist in paying for them. When in
support of this position your legislat-
i've committee asked the Legislature
to tax personal and corporate property,
including manufacturing corporations
the small sum OF one mill for road pur-
poses the Legislature failed to pass it.
Such a tax would yield at least $780,
600 annually. Under our present sys-
tenn of taxation we still contend that
this is the right way to raise money
from these interests for road purposes.
It must be kept in mind that good
roads cost money, and lots of it.
We believe that the money SO raised
or money appropriated should be di-
vided among the different townships
according to their respective road
mileage, for permanent road improve
ments. All our past road legislation
has added additional taxation. The
road law Of 1908 is failure in nearly
all the counties of the State. Several
Of the most wealthy sections seem to
be the only exceptions. If this law is
to be of any use it must have some
radical amendments. There are posi-
bly, 10000 miles of main travelled
roads. There is no just reason why
poor townships should be taxed to i'm
prove and repair these main roads
when they are used for intercounty and
State commerce.
While the act Of 1903 makes an ap-
preparation Of 100000 annually for
1903 and 1904. it increases local taxa
ton on real estate and the loss Of local
contract. It cannot be claimed that the
appropriation of 100000 annually rep
resents money collected from incorpora-
tons, for the reason that the State
collects taxes from the counties which
by right belongs to the counties, and
should never be paid into the State
treasury.
We are opposed to the repeal of the
law known as the Bridge act of 1895,
whereby the State rebuilds bridges
over public streams which have been
swept away by floods. This law is very
beneficial, especially to poorer counties
of the State. We favor national aid
for public road improvement, provided
1t is not coupled with additional taxa
ton on the farms. We believe that
money so spent is Of more use to the
people Of this Nation than to waste it

Hampshire, the lecturer of the National
Grange: Among the important matters
bearing upon rural development and
the promotion of the new agriculture
is the construction of highways CORE
spending to the progress made in other
directions. The houses in which we
live, the carriages and cars in which
worship have become costly palaces
compared with those used by our an
cestors for similar purposes. When
we consider the roads over which all
the people travel, we find no such gen
eral advancement.
The movement to secure national aid
for the construction of highways l be-
lieve is equitable and right. The peo-
pie most interested in better roads are
those engaged in tilling the soil. COM
prising about one-third of our popula-
ton. The farmers of the country
have, by energy and industry, placed
upon the markets of the world such
volume of the products of the soil as to
affect the balance of trade with foreign
countries, making us a selling instead
Of q buying nation. In view Of these
and other facts that might be stated,
they now ask in the name of justice
that the roads upon which we all ira
vel shall be improved The 100000
people of the country engaged in rural
pursuits demand recognition of their
rights in the improvement of highways
by national patronage.
A matter of even more practical APP
plication than that of roads is the prac-
tlce of progressive, up-to-date agricul-
ture. l refer especially to improved
methods in farming and to supplying
the demands of local markets with per-
ishable products. 1t frequently hap
pens that one acre, devoted to such
crops, intelligently handled, yields a
larger gross income and possibly a
larger net income, than the average
farm. We may well resent all sneers
at small farming when the net income
from one acre Of fruit has been more
than the net income from twenty acres
of corn.
| have heard of an instance where
the net income from one acre Of vege-
tables was greater than the net income
from 100 acres Of wheat and where
the net income from a greenhouse COW
ering one-fourth acre was greater than
the net income from the average 100
acre farm. | do not refer to these
things as rejecting in any degree upon
the management Of the splendid corn
and wheat farms, but for the purpose
Of calling attention to the opportuni-
ties for profit in some of the lines of
farming that changed conditions have
made possible, and to the fact that the
opportunity for profitable agriculture
is no longer limited to the production
of staple crops that must seek a distant
market. .sa;I7 - s. ;ssfsSs d :: .,sx,.
