Scholarship in the Pulpit.

Scholarship Is thought 10y some

on the part of the ministry, and

Jesus Christ. II Is true that Il fine

Missouri's Minerals.

MlSsouri's resources are recognized
as far away rs the Pacific coast. The
San Francisco Chronicle, in a recent
issue, said "Missouri is not a State
which one would name off hand as rich
in minerals, yet it produces 80 per
cent of all the zinc and 90 per cent
Of all the nickel mined in the United
States, while the percentage of lead
taken from the mines is nearly
as great. The demand for all of
these metals is increasing rapidly, and
new districts in Missouri are being de-
velopcd each year. 1t may not be an
idle boast that Missouri will ultimately
produce as much treasure In these base
metals rs California has produced in

No Monument TO Blaine

james q. Blaine, whose name
was so many years linked with
Names political fortunes, has no
monument erected to his memory
in the State. Shortly after his
death there was an effort made to
secure funds for such purpose
but the difficulty in getting sub
scriptiOns was so great that the
project was abandoned. The
State has not even claimed the re-
mains of her once illustrious son
and the body is buried in Wash
ington. In the rotunda of the
state house is the bust of James
g. Blaine, done in pure white
marble More than the usual in.
terest has been attached to it since
it was learned that it has never
been paid for. Professor &. Tren.
tanove, of Florence, Italy, made
the bust and it was placed in the
rotunda of the capitol in 1899,
but up to this day the sculptor has
never received a red cent.

GentlenesS as Power.

We passed the lawn of our neigh.
Dor to-day, and upon the lower
step which led to the front entrance
sat his little two. year old daughter
with one chubby hand upon the
collar of a brindled bulldog. The
dog was trembling with excitement
because two wandering curs had
stopped To settle some little dis
putc light there and then, and
were walking around each other
with much bristlng of backs and
swapping Of teeth and growing Of
voices. The bulldog would have
made short work of either, and
was evidently more than willing to
do so; but he felt that gentle touch
upon his collar, and we knew that
hc could hc trusted to control his
natural passions, His eyes shonc
ana his feet moved Il little impa
tiently, but he made no movement
to join in the prospective fray.
II was Il pretty picture of the
triumph of gentleneSs over power.

We said to ourselves, recalling the
beautiful prophecy of Isaiah. We
knew a man some years ago who
was conscious of his slavery to one
besetting sin. Nothing seemed to
restrain him--neither shame nor
self interest nor the reproof of con.
science. But one day n boy child
was born in his house, and from
that hour he was a free man.
My boy shall never be ashamed
of his father" he said. The dim.

strain the ficrcencss of brute that
loves her. They ought to save the
father whom she loves. The In
