SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.

The Student Missionary Work of the
American Sunday School Union is
starting out III splendid shape this
season We have now % men under
commission under this department be-
sides the regular force of permanent
workers. One of the Student Mis-
sionaries organized seven schools i'll
less than one month and others are
doing splendid work. 1t is surprising
to find the religious restitution in
many Of the communities where these
young men are laboring. They find
a large number of people who never
attend church and who seldom if ever
receive a pastoral call. One boy in
the sixth reader at school asked the
teacher, # it costs loo OF 25c admis-
sion 80 church. That was right here
in the state of Iowa, and we often
never in Sunday School and many
families who have not even bible
in the house.
To such homes the Missionary of
the American Sunday School union
proves great blessing, in leaving
bibles and other good literature and
gathering the children and youth into
Sunday School.
Mr.. S. Z. Taylor who is working
in Winneshiek and adjoining counties
is finding many needy communities
and is accomplishing a good work in
establishing the Sunday School and
visiting the homes
During the past year this Society
organized 1886 new Schools and re-
opened 625. Into these 2SS schools
were brought 93339 children and youth
for bible instruction. Thus we are
reaching the bows and girls with the
Gospel of Christ.
God wants the Boy, God wants the
Girl
He wants the youth of every land
To take His banner and unfurl
From shore to shore on every hand.
God wants the Girls, God wants the
Boys;
He wants the Children and the
Youth
To live for Him in all their JOYS,
To stand for Right and love the
Truth
God wants the Women and the Men,
He wants their aid without alloy
To save the Youth from Evils den;
To save the Girl, TO save the Boy. -

The Woman With Nothing TO Do.

Mason City Times Herald: The
woman with nothing to do can stir
up more trouble in day than half a
town can settle in month. She has
time TO gossip about her ne;ghbors.
pry into family secrets. TO set friends
by the ear. She can create more strife,
promote more misunderstanding and
cause more sin than half dozen other
agencies of iniquity. If she has also
besides OveTabundant leisure the fatal
gift of beauty then there is likely to
be added trouble.
Idle men are dangerous in any COM
munity. but idle women are worse.
The idle man usually becomes a
tramp or street lOafer. The idle
woman becomes a fiirt or gossip
Street talk does not do one 1.-THE the
harm done by a confidential converse
tion in the parlor.
a woman with leisure time can do
so much good in the world by using
this time for useful purposes that it is
pitiful for her TO squander it. We
are acquainted with women who-have
wealth and culture and opportunity,
who use all these as held in trust for
the betterment and uplift of the less
fortunate around them. They are
practically interested in the world 5
work, and are not painted toys. tn be
gazed upon. or mischief mongers to be
dreaded. The woman with nothing
to do may do nothing, which is the
devils work. Or she may consecrate
her leisure to humanity, which is saint
like.

Way 10 Soften Water.

Some of our farmer readers who
doubtless he interested in the follow
ing from an exchange: A farmer in
formed the writer last Saturday that
he used his cream separator for OBJ
tanning soft water. He pourS the
water into the machine just as he
would milk, first running the machine
at a high rate of speed. The soft
water comes out of the milk spout
while the rest comes out of the
cream spout. 1t seems almost in
credulous that this should be so, but
our readers who have a machine might
try it and see how il works.

I ay Gar On Rock Island.

The old-time pay car has been put
into commission again en- the Rock
Island r. r. System after having been
abandoned for many years, the cal
going over the Iowa Falls division last
week. For number of years all the
great railway systems have been pay
ing their employees by checks sent out
from the general offices. and why
the Rock Island has abandoned that
method and gone back to the old pay
car system is matter of conjecture.
AT any rate Rock Island employees will
hereafter receive the cold cash from
the company car instead of check.

MIR. PHIPPS ONLY HOBBY.

1T may be well to erect buildings
for perhaps two or three classes of
wage earners, or it may possibly be
better to confine ourselves to one class,
hoping thus to relieve the market, and
incidentally benefit another class. l
shall look with great interest to the
progress Of the work, and l hope to see
much of it finished while 1 am here to
enjoy it,
Mr.. Henry Phipps probably gives
more thought to his philanthropy than
any other man who is willing and able
to give away millions. His latest pro-
ject, the building of model tenement
houses for the very poor of New York
City, is but added evidence of his meth
DDS. His every act of philanthropy has
been with an idea of reaching down
into the lowest stratum of human ex-
istence and endeavoring to lift people
up to a higher plane of life.
If Mr.. Phipps has a hobby" it is the
love of nature, but this hobby has
only influenced his philanthropy in a
minor degree. His first gift of conse-
quence was about twenty years ago.

public parks of Allegheny, Pa, then his
home. In his great love of the natural

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Il expect the tenements to be so plan
ned as to earn about per cent on
their cost, after allowing proper
amount for maintenance and repairs. I
intend to have the earnings accumulate
and to be used from time to time in
erecting more tenements. My wish is
that the rooms should not be rented at
a price below the market rate 1 do not
wish to discourage individual investors
from building tenements on a purely
business basis. To do so might check
building operations, raise rents and in
the end prove injurious to the working
people, whom I wish to aid and who
must rely in so large a measure on
building for purely business reasons to
provide them with homes
If there is a period Of high cost and
great imitation then the work should go

Divorce is the sanctioning Of this dis
order and the more divorces granted
the more disorder in society Is felt.
No matter how many creeds or ma
tions may sanction this disorder of di-
vorce, they shall not alter the divine
economy-that prescribes to all men of
all creeds or no creeds. Whoever mar
ries the divorced person committeth
adultery est. Mat. v:32) And the rea-
son of this is another saying. What
God hath joined together let no man
put asunder."
Any man who will take into consid-
GRAFTON these and other similar sem
tences of the Old and the New Testa-
ment, which come from God. will draw
the natural and logical conclu-
sion that the marriage tie is
indissoluble. Once properly and
validly knotted before God and
man, then there is no power on earth,

marriage for the divorced is a legal
polygamy, indorsed and condemned by
the United States laws
But what shall be done when two
are mismated and untitled according to
the natural law, and it is morally, if
not physically, impossible to live to-
gether?
According to the Old and the
New Testament. in cases of this
kind a total or partial sepa-
ration may be granted. but with no
prospect in future to marry any other
person while one of the two
divorced persons lives. If this
was the general ruling. then in
very many cases they would never
think about divorce; they would make

One Of the most vital questions Of to-
day is matrimony and its antithesis. di-
vorce. Matrimony is the foundation of
society, and divorce is the ruin or the
pulling down Of the foundation laid by
matrimony. This question affects mot
alone but it affects the whole of the
human race. Though the public is di-
vided on the real merits of the ques-
tion, yet this does not change the ma
ture Of matrimony. In this as in many
other issues, the public is very often
misled by others and especially by the
want Of personal thinking and reason
ing. If after listening to others we
should study the subject matter, then
we would not be like ordinary automa-
ia, thinking machines or talking phono-
graphs, but we would be something
more-that is, men and women of con-
vinced ideas and progressive at the
same time, because we would add to the
ideas Of others our own conviction and
experience. No man can become great
in any branch if he dispenses himself
of this rule. Thus without wishing to
enter into a controversy against those
who may believe in marriage and di-
vorce and race suicide, / will venture
to prove its fundamental principle and
in a plain manner bring it home as it
were, TO the kind consideration Of the
impartial reader.
Matrim0ny does not belong to one
creed, to one nation or to one genera
tion, but it belongs to all creeds, ma
tions and generations. because its
origin and end are not from man, but
from God and for God. Therefore,
matrimony is not mere civil con-
tract, but natural and religious con-
tract instituted by God, when he Gre
ated Adam and Eve and ordered them

philanthropist, even while he was in the
very prosaic business of building up a
fortune through the medium of steel
rails and ingots and pigiron, Mr.
Phipps was known as an idealist. While
others went to church on Sunday morn
ings he, with Professor John A. Bras
hear. and sometimes Andrew Carnegie
would go into the fields and woods that
line the beautiful hills back of Allie
gheny and worship at the shrine of ma

of Mr.. Phipps are proverbial among his
friends and acquaintances. He has al
ways lived largely within himself, and
has avoided, as far as possible, ming
ling with people. To him the proverb
that ITO give is better than to receive"
seems to be wholly personal, and it is
his desire to be known as little in his
philanthropy as the exigencies require.
On the day that the Schenley Park
Conservatory was first thrown open to
the ublic Mr.. Phipps made an early
visit to inspect his gift in it's completed
form. In his enthusiasm he forgot
time as he was conducted by the di-
rector from one point to another When
the opening hour came he was in a far
corner of the conservatory inspecting
some rare plants and palms. Before he
knew it the doors were thrown open
and Mr.. Phipps saw hundreds of people

chief points Of intel t In Schenley
Park and provided for annual flower
shows in the various seasons. This is
much larger than the Allegheny con-
servatory, because it is located in a
more populous district and reaches
more people. Mr.. Phipps felt that the
people of Pittsburg were we'll supplied
with the creature comforts Wages are
high and work plentiful, so that there
are few of the very poor In the city
But there was then lacking in Pittsburg
the many essentials for mental and
spiritual growth, and Mr.. Phipps felt
that there was more need of the ideal
than the material.
Long before he became known as a

INTEREST IN LIBRARIES.

There are so many worse places for
young men to spend Sunday that the
library doors should stand invitingly
open," he explained. There are thou
sands of young men in Allegheny who
live in furnished rooms. They have
few comforts and fewer pleasures To
them Sunday is a holiday, and they go
out seeking places Of amusement. Why
is not the library reading room a good
place for them TO spend few hours?
In my opinion it will prove a preven-
tive Of much mischief"
His argument prevailed and the IL
brary was ordered kept open on sun
day, and Mr.. Phipps gladly wrote
check for the stipulated amount.
Mr.. Phipps is of the best type of sue
cessful Americans. He was given MOTH
ing but strong character, good health.
honesty and a willingness to work ont
his own destiny. His father was a shoe
maker and poor. He could give his son
no education, but that the son gained

come business man. In late years he
has Travelled much, and he to-day
knows the world and it's needs as few
book taught men can ever know.
Mr.. Phipps has since 1900 been a resi-
dent of New York City, and his new
home. now being built, on the corner
of Fifth avenue and Eighty-seventh
street, will be when finished one Of the
handsomest houses in America. The

of white Vermont marble, covers 62x
120 feet Of the plat, with an extension
or conservatory 40x25 feet. known as an
''orangerie," also built of white ver-
mont marble. For the furnishing of
this superb house the fittings and fur
niture Of an Indian palace were bought
outright by Mr.. Phipps during a So
journ in India several years ago.
