they stay Jews and conform to certain ethical laws salvation will be theirs.
 The report on their attitude toward the true and living God would be that the bones are very dry. The question for the Christian people is can these bones live?
 Some think that the Jewish mis- sionary movement is useless but the command of the Savior was to preach the gospel to every nation and that command cannot be ignored.
 The history of Christianity is writ ten in the life blood of the Jews and small wonder is 1t that the Jews con slider that the cardinal principle or Christianity Is hatred of the Jews. Even now, Jews are persecuted in this country. Gentle boys in the public schools scoff at the birth of the Jew ish children and make things unpleas- ant for them. The Jews will never be brought to the cross in this manner. The Christians must go forward ana proclaim the life everlasting.
 He told of good results attained by Jewish missionaries in England eno said that when the Jews realized that if is unfair to view the present Chris tianfty from a viewpoint of what Christianity has done. they can pc much easier brought to the cross thail the Japanese and Chinese, who LOOK on Christians as foreign devils ana who have nothing in common "ltn cur country and customs.
 He closed with an eloquent appeal for work along these lines.

WHEN WILL THE LAND
 FRAUDS BE STOPPED9

The biggest of the land frauds, in- volving the highest public officials in some of the western States and untold acreages of land would form after all but a passing nine days wonder with the busy populace were it not for the fact that their ramificaIions are so ex- tensive that as fast as one set of men Is indicted the investigations of the government bring forth another brood of frauds.
 The government land frauds of the west is a question, however, of far deeper significance than the mere mat ter of the illegal requirement during the past few years of some public lands or timber by private individuals. corporations or government officials. The question is, will the present prose- cutions affect the system. Not one iota. The cases being pushed are those in which the government sleuths think there is a possibility of obtain ing conviction. The great mass and majority of equally great frauds will never be heard from outside of their immediate localities. The reason Tor this that such frauds nave been legal-frauds committed entirely with in the law.
 But how can land fraud be legal? An instance: The legislature ol Geor- gia granted some three million acres of land to certain syndicates. The grant became a Jaw. Subsequently 1t was discovered that all the members or the legislature who voted for the grant were members of the various syndi- cates which secured the land; but the title nevertheless was declared good. This was legalized fraud So In the west. The timber and stone law, the desert land law and the communication clause of the homestead law, are m themselves and the regulations unae. nrhich thev are administered, fraud Iaws and while their letter may be observed their spirit can be violated and the men who receive government patents under them. in the great ma ioritv of cases, have no right in equity to the land. It is question whether taken as a whole five per cent or

 Sang Beautiful Hymn.
 At the close of the address to the candidates, the candidates and congre- gation knelt in few moments of silent prayer, and then united in singing;
 Take my life, and let 1t be
 Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
 Take my hands and let them move
 At the impulse of thy love.
 Take my feet and let the mbe
 Swift and beautiful for thee;
 Take my voice and let me sing
 Always only for my King.
 Take my will and make it thine.
 It shall be no longer mine,
 Take my heart, 1t is thine own,
 It shall be thy royal throne
 Take my love, my God, pour
 At thy feet its treasure store;
 Take myself and I will be,
 Ever, only, all for thee.
 The congregation arose and the can didates remained kneeling, while the Bishop invoked the Holy Spirit, as fol- lows:
 May the Spirit, the Living God. de- scend upon you and abide with you TOT evermore. May his holy anointing im- part to you grace for every trial, ana gifts for every duty. May his pres- ence be to a pillar of cloud by day. and a pillar of fire by night, all along the journey of life; and may the blessing of God the Father. Son and Holy Spirit be with you now and evermore. Amen. The candidates arose and the Bishop grasping each by the right hand in turn | and in impressive terms, said: T admit thee to the office of Deaconess in the Church of God. in the name Of the Father. and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen"
 The congregation was dismissed with | the benediction.

always surprised that such a person as John, with his so marked loving and disinterested nature, should pre- sent such a petition. This action, he said, shows that mixed motives often induce men to right action and only as the spirit of Jesus Christ permeates the heart do the higher motives pre- dominate.
 What did the Master mean, when he said that the places by his throne were not His to give?' asked the Bishop.
 The Lord meant that rewards of righteousness are not to be arbitrarily bestowed Heaven Is an achievement, not a bestowal We pray for a new Heaven and a new earth but there will never be a new heaven until there is a new earth. All of use are willing to serve provided we serve in con- spicuous place.
 Doctrine of Brotherhood.
 After the Lord disclosed the hearts of these men," said Bishop Galloway. He disclosed the real nature of His Kingdoms service. The Lord puts great emphasis on t4.e great doctrine of the brothenood of man. That is the distinctive characteristic Of Christ's doctrine. Buddha's boast was that he was no mans servant. Christ SalQ, come tO HlIIliStci
 Muller said that Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates had no word for mankind. The only way to serve God Is to help mankind We praise God in hymn and prayer but the only way to aid Him Is to assist his children. CurLord has no lacks that we can supply but when I minister to my Lords children ] minister to Him.
 "The most potential agency that God can apply to the redemption Of the world is a human being. Underneath all, that is the philosophy of the mis- sionary movement. All truth to be potential must be incarnate. Truth in a human life is Gods argument Therefore biography is the most help full form of literature but biography must be the story of real life, the If of a man who fails and struggles
 There is a second idea in the para ble of the vine and the branch. The | central idea of course is that there | can be no branch without a vine but | 1t is equally true that a branch is | necessary for the vines expression No one ever heard of fruit growing | from the trunk of tree. The Lord

PALM SUNDAY AT ST. PETERS.
Two Masses Celebrated at the Cath-

Two Masses Celebrated at the Cath~
 ollie Church.
 Palm Sunday was appropriately cel- ebrated at St. Peters Catholic Church yesterday by two masses. at o'clock and 1o:30 o'clock respectively, both of which were attended by large numbers of the congregation.
 Rev. Father Eaton said the early morning mass and gave communion to a number of members of the church.
 Rev. Father Dennis Savage. the pas- tor said the late mass and distributed blessed palm branches to the congrega- ton. No sermon was preached at eith- CT service.
 Palm Sunday Is celebrated in the Catholic Church to commemorate the day of Jesus's advent into Jerusalem when the multitudes met him near the holy city in welcome, strewing palm branches in his path and crying "H0- sanna" "Hosanna" as he passed them, the same multitude which i've days lat CT cursed and crucihed him.

the timber and stone entries are actual bona-fide claims in which the entry men carries out his part of the con- tract in strict compliance with the spirit of the timber and stone act The desert land act and the commu- tation clause are not so universally fraudulent in their operation but the vast preponderance of claims under them are to a more or less extent frauds and do not in any full sense comply with the spirit of these laws which requires settlement and home taking.
 So that should the government be able to make out it's cases, and fine and imprison every man indicted for land frauds, the great bulk of fraud ulent land dealings would continue ex- actly the same. The activities of the department win simply make land and timber men careful to evade the laws and not criminally violate them. The laws themselves must be revised if honesty is to be expected in land mat ters.
 Cleaning Out the Augean Stables.
 The present activities of the Sec- retary of the Interior in cleaning out the Oregon land frauds recalls lit- tie incident which occurred some twen- ty years ago when Mayor Henry or oakland, California, was inducted into office There had been much rotten ness in the municipal administration and a spasm of disgust sweeping ov- CT the town, Henry was elected on a ticket pledged to reform. The mem ory of the mayor-elect on questions or mythology and early history was a bit rusty and Bryant stately tread in myself in the com tiuous woods where rolls the Oregon and hear no sound save his own dash lings"-evidently became confused in his mind with one of the great iabors of Hercules. for in his inaugural ad- dress, after roasting the outgoing ad- ministration to turn. he promised a new order of things and told the boys. that he proposed, fin e word, to clean
 out the oregon Stables.
