Russo-JAPANEsE WAR.

Official announcement of the selec-
tion of Washington was made by Sec
retary Loeb at the White House re
Gently. 1t was in typewriter form
and read as follows: "When Russia
and Japan were unable to agree
upon either Che Foo or Paris, the
president suggested The Hague, but
both governments have now requested
that Washington be chosen as the
place of meeting and the president
has accordingly formally notified both
governments that Washington will be
so selected"
This statement was supplemented
afterward by semi-officisl an
nouncement that after meeting and
organizing the plenipotentiaries of the
two governments, if it should be found
to be uncomfortably hot in Washing
ton, may adjourn the meeting to some
summer resort in the north and there
continue their sittings until such
time as the weather in Washington
be more comfortable"
Alone on the plains of Manchuria
midway between the two great arm
les, the Russian and Japanese com
manders will meet to sign the armis-
tice which will pave the way for the
Washington conference if the present
tentative program is followed. EX-
changes on this point are now in
progress between Toxic and st. Pc
tersburg, via Washington, but no
final conclusion has been reached.
The Japanese are advancing from
the center and westward, and are
driving in the Russian screens south
of Palitun, Manchuria. Further west
they turned the Russian extreme right
at Liaoyangchungpeng, fanking the
Russians out of position after night
long fight.

Ex.Ranker cIewell on Trlal.

Cleveland, June 20.-George f.
Clewell, cashier of the Federal Trust
Co., when that institution was in ex-
istence, was placed on trial in crimi-
nal court Monday. In his opening
statement to the jury Attorney Daw-
ley, for the defense, claimed that in
drawing $500 on his cashiers check
from the Federal Trust Co. Clewell
had no intention of embezzlement or
.defrauding the bank. Clewell, it is al
legged, drew check for $4,000 on the
Commercial national bank, got the
money and took $500 of it, leaving
his personal check as evidence of
what he had done, but not entering
the fact of the transaction in the
books of the bank

Shot His Wife.

Dayton, o., June 17.-If mob of
angered men had succeeded in get
ting their hands on Michael Ryan,
aged so, Thursday night, Ohio would
in all probability have had another
lynching to talk about. Ryan escaped
and has not been located by the po-
lice. Il have made up my mind to re-
form. Will you return and live with
me again?" Upon receiving a mega
tive answer to this question to his
wife, Ryan pulled a revolver and shot
his wife, the ball penetrating the
lung. Mrs. Ryan fell back in the arms
of her father, John Gender, a promi-
nent business man. Her chances for
recovery are very slight.

A Destructive Storm.

Columbus, O., June 2O.-Reports
from central Ohio show that the rain
storm Monday was one of the heavi-
est of the season and did considerable
damage to the growing corn and
wheat fields. The rain was accompa-
MED by stiff wind, uprooting trees,
blowing down wheat and throwing
down fences. Many farmers report
that the wind blew off much fruit. Re
ports from Springfield, Dayton and
other towns say that many shade trees
were ruined

An lmportant Decision.

Columbus o., June 21.-The SUI
preme court yesterday handed down
decision in the liquor case of Will
liam Whitman against Robert d. Car
ter. Carter had never owned the par
ticula:' piece of property upon which
Whitman was conducting his saloon,
but was the owner of a lot three
squares away. He brought injunction
proceedings and the fact that the
court sustains the decision in his
favor established the principle that
one who is simply property owner in
the vicinity may bring suit to restrain
q business which is prohibited by re
version clause in deeds.

The Hoyt Will Case.

Tiffin, O., June 21.-In the Hoyt will
case Yesterday a deposition was read
from DR.. William Polk, of New York
City, saying that Mrs. Hoyt was en-
bittered at being childless. The depo-
sition says that she admitted to him
that her will power was passing away,
and that she had resorted to the use
of drugs to produce sleep. Miss Cal
lie Moser testified that she visited
Mrs. Hoyt in New York and that the
dog 'Bobbie" was given a place at
the table and furnished with white
napkin and compelled to eat food dis
tasteful to him, because, as Mrs. Hoyt
explained, il was good for him.

and Thomas and Paul. AS our be-
loved collect expresses 1t: Thou hast
founded upon the apostles and proph--
cts, Christ, Himself, being the head
cornerstone"
To that church you all belong. You
have taken the step which announces
that consciously you have come to
your full conception of what that
church is, and that you are members In
1t. Now, what Christ wants of you Is,
not your money, or your influence. but
He wants your heart. your devotion,
bu. He wants you to stand really.
purely, honestly. truly, steadfastly for
Him. He wants you to be built up,
as St Peter expresses 1t, "as lively
stones" in His church. II has been
said that to suppose that the Christian
Church could have been founded by
any save Jesus Christ would be as
absurd as to suppose that Strasburg
Cathedral had been formed through
the centuries by the conilux Of the
dust Of the streets. Now, II is into
that church that you have come and
you are to become stones In the build
ing. You are to grow strong by being
true and earnest, and pure and tenn
perate. Buttresses and arches and
roofs are not more really the fruit of
human architects work than temper
ance and chastity and honesty are the
fruits of the Divine Architects love.
"On this rock I will build My church."
The Church of Jesus Christ will be
stronger tonight and stronger to-mor-
cow, because you have been confirmed
to-day, If you honestly keep the prom
ises you have made tonight.

"He saw that there was no man,
and wondered that there was no inter-
cessor." Here is a needy world with
its chiefest hope in what intercesslon
may bring. Here is God who de-
clares that unlimited blessing may be
gained for men through intercession.
Here is yourself with some knowledge
in your own experience of what in
tercesson might mean. Yet God waits
and wonders! The phrase is not too
strong. Remember the missionaries
who have gladly renounced all for the
Joy of putting new light into despair
ing faces-but they spend little time
in asking for the Light. Remember
the pastors whose calling it is to min
ister-but they have renowned the
highest and most efficient ministry. Re-
member the myriads who prate cease
lessly about the worlds need of re-
vival-but they talk little about 1t to
Him who alone can give 1t. Remem-
ber what you say you believe, recall
what you actually do--and cease to
wonder that God wonders.-Pacific
Baptist

After RevivaI-What?

The remarkable religious movement
which not long since arose in the West
like little cloud no bigger than a
mans hand, Is apparently spreading
throughout Christendom. 1t has al
ready assumed proportions which COM
mand attention from all quarters and
has won for It general recognition as
''the revival" Every genuine Chris
tian, at least, will be on the watch to
make the utmost of its best features
and the least of its blemishes. 1t is
alike impossible that the latter can be
essentially divine, or that the former
can be exclusively human.
Here, as in all Christian salvation"
it is imperative that there should be
the distinct recognition of cooperation.
For it is always true that God can no
more save man without himself than
man can save himself without God.
This principle, however, compels us not
only to look with reverence for the
Divine element in present events, but
to consider carefully human issues in
the future. Waves of strong emotion,
be they ever so potent for good, cannot
roll on without cessation. There is an
ebb as well as flow to every tide
1t is none too soon, therefore, to ask
and answer such questions as these:
Whittier is this movement leading us?
What will be left when its emotional
force is spent? Will it prove verlta-
BILE Nile in its fruit-bearing deposits,
or will it ebb away into Sahara-like
sterllity? All evangelical Christians
doubtless hope that the utmost of the
highest will abide. Yet is there ample
room for most serious thought as to
how this more or less transient i'm
pulse may not only be translated into
something permanent but become the
starting-point of a definitely higher
conception of Christian doctrine and
practice throughout all the churches.

Times

Not Ashamed Of the Gospel.-Rom
13-17

Not Ashamed Of the Gospel.-Rom.
1. 1917.
Paul had purposed to go to Rome,
but was hindered. He went at last,
but only as a prisoner. He had an
ambition TO save the Roman as well
as the Jew. This evidences the thor
oughness of the remarkable change
in his spirit. He recognized that he
was debtor" to ali men; that is, that
the responsibility was on him to give
to all the opportunity to hear and ac-
cept the gospel. The reason for all
this was that he was not ASHAMED
of the gospel" And the cause of his
confidence in that which all other men
despised was in that 1t was the
power of God unto salvation"
1t takes courage to champion an un-
popular cause. When that cause is
maligned and misrepresented, when
1t means social ostracism and peril to
life and liberty, 1t takes hero to
preach 1t. Such was Paul, and so was
the gospel in his day. There must
be a great reason for the aggressive
championship of a dangerous doctrine.
To Paul the fact that the gospel was
the power of God unto salvation made
Il not cnly reason why he should ac-
cept 1t, but a further reason why he
should preach 1t and push 1t. 1t
ought to be the same with us. Let
us ask and answer two or three ques-
tlons:,
What Is the Gospel that We
Should Not Be Ashamed of It? 1t
hoc 1ttff II
has abolished slavery and supersti-
ton. 1t has saved uncounted millions.
It has reached us. 1t has brought
peace and pardon to our hearts. 1t
has brought life and immortality to
light. It has given us a worthy ideal
for which to live. 1t has banished the
fear Of death. 1t lightens the gloom
of the grave. 1t lights up the path
way of the poor and the needy. 1t
has brought only blessings where
curses abounded. It has done all
that is good, and nothing evil. for hui
manity. 1t is the power of God to
our own personal salvation. There
Is every reason to be satisfied with 1t;
there is no reason to be, ashamed of
Ii.
There Are Reasons Why Christ
Might Be Ashamed of Us. How slow
OF faith. were we, how reluctant to
leave all and follow him! How negli-
gent of duty. and prone to grieve him,
have we been! How little glory we
have reflected upon his cause. how
often silent when we should have
testified for him, how careless of
speech when we should have been
CAREFUL II the Master is not ashamed
of US, what possible reason can there
be In any company or condition to
be ashamed of him or his gospel?
