The discl ,sures of the secret service
agents have destroyed public confidence
in the governments crop reports. In
the opinion of many the Department OF
Agriculture might inst as well "shut up

future will do little toward restoring
confidence Charges Of false reports ci

SATURDAY EVENING. JULY IS, 1905.

JOHN ID. ROCKEFELLER, the richest
man in the world, last night, as is his
custom, when at home in Cleveland, o.,
attended prayer meeting services at the
Euclid Avenue Baptist Church. The
topic of the meeting was Character
Building" A dozen prayers by differ
ent wOrshippers were silently Joined In
by Rockefeller, who bowed his head on
the chair 10 front of his. A number OF
persons Ibad ItestifiedI when Rockefeller
arose and said :,
/ have been greatly helped and in
spired by the testimony of those here to-
night. The way for all of us to do
christian work, is for each to do accord
ing az he hath. There are men who ap-
pear equally jealous in the cause ofChrlst
but one is more effective than the
other. The tning to do is to find out
the secret of the effectiveness of the one.
The beginning Of the application OF our
christianity must come now, tonight and
tomorrow morning in our homes, or in
the Office. Sometimes it has seemed tome
that might advance the christian faith
by assisting in the endowment OF chairs
i'm theological seminaries. The world
needs teachers of the faith. However
humble we may be, whatever our place,
il matters not, we can show the best
side. We must show the most winsome
and convincing side. In fact we must
show that we love God. 1t may be a
trivial thought and perhaps cannot
express it as | desire to do. but must
tell you. In making out manifestations
of Christian faith, we must do that
which counts most. This may be only
a simple word or a cordial handshake.
The world is a rushing, pushing throng.
Every one seems to be striving to get
ahead. 1t is a sweetly comforting
thought that the requirements of God
are only according as he has given us,
ability TO do. 1t is blessed encourage
ment that every one of us can have n
part in this Christ building, not only
ourselves but for the upbuilding of the
church, of God. How blessed, how
God-like it all is. thank you.
While Mr.. Rockefeller, as citizen oil
the kingdom of heaven, is placed on a
plane with the humblest believer, the
example he is setting could be followed
by others of the same class with profit
to themselves and hearers.
