MAN WHO TRULY SHOWED
HIS LOVE E0R HIS KIND

Thirty-nine years ago, Or. 7. j. Barnado began mis-
sion work in London. He opened a ragged school in an
unused stable in a squaIid quarter. One night when the
school closed, Jim Jarvis, a street arab asked if he might
remain all night in the stable. DR.. Bernardo asked:
What would your mother think?"
"Ain't got no mother was the reply.
But your %father?'
"Aint got no father"
where are your friends7 And where do you live ?"
Amt got no friends. Don't live nowhere"
He asked Jim to show him his sleeping quarters.
Scaling a shed, on the roof, Or. 5arnado found eleven
ragged boys Of ages varying from 9 to 10 fast asleep in
the moonlight, with scarcely a rag of clothing upon them,
though a keen frost was in the air.
Upon this very spot he registered a silent vow to de-
vote his life to saving the children Of the street.
He was a man who truly loved his kind. Pain and
sorrow and suffering touched him and so he gave himself
to the redemption of a world that burns in summer and
freezes in winter; that sleeps in fetted kennels; that
starves; that is face to face with all that duls and bru-
talizes and makes for crime and ignorance.
1t was almost forty years ago when the man who
died recently came to the parting of the ways.
One road led to a world where lights blazed and
good clothes were worn; where there was enough to eat
and the beds were soft and clean. DR.. r. Barnado could
have won almost any position in the gift of that world.
And along the other world where halfstarved boys
and girls with gaunt bodies and weakened faces. There
were cripples and crooks by the housand--nobody's chill
dren.
He went to those who needed him most and words
are feeble in the face of his unselfish philanthrophy.
He stinted neither love nor dollars. His voice arous-
ed England, and a shower of golden guineas fell into his
keeping and went to liberate the slaves of the greatest
city in the world.
He built homes for waits. Yes, homes by the score.
There are more than one hundred philanthropic insttu-
lions devoted to the developing of human beings that
stand as monuments to DR.. Barbados labors.
From an humble beginning has arisen the gigantic or
ganization which enabled DR.. Bernardo, as he said, "to
feed, clothe, educate, launch in life, and subsequently ex-
ercise a %fatherly supervision over no fewer than 10000
unwanted and destitute children"
His might, indeed, be called the largest family in the
world, and he well earned the sobriquet so often applied
to him as 'the father of nobodys children"
DR.. Bernardo died in harness. His was the we'll
rounded life, and for such as he it was written:
Whoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
verify | say unto you, he shall in no way lose his re-
ward"

DESERTS BLOOM

Another man. one Baron De Forest. has come to the
front with a scheme of founding an empire in the Desert
of Sahara. This appeare absurd, but the day may come
when, by irrigation, the great waste will become a land
of fertile farms. The work of reclamation Of arid and
drouth stricken lands by irrigation is yet in its infancy
and the generations to come will undoubtedly see the
task of making fertile fields of sun-bistered soil one Of
such magnitude that the present efforts will pale into
insignificance.
Through the use of storage reservoirs, large canals
or wells pumping OF flowing. millions of acres Of land
in the United States have already been reclaimed. Vast
projects for retaining the wastes in the far northwest
are now under way. Rivers are being diverted from their
agesold channels, tunnels are being driven through
mountains in order that the waters formed by melting
SHOWS may serve the purpose of man, while the guiding
hand of the engineer is leading ~trickling streams across
cactus-dotted pains and the sage brush and mesquite
are retiring before the steady advance; fruits and flowers
make the desert blossom and cereals and grasses encour-
age the husbandman in his effort to found a home in the
o~nce-desert places.
Up in the Big Horn country, in the northwest, mil
lions Of dollars are being spent in chiseling and blasting
a mountain of granite away, that a snow-fed stream may
be diverted to the valleys where only water is needed to
bring thousands of hardy settlers there eager to build
homes of their own. The waters that flow eastward
from the Rockies are fertiizing the arid land in eastern
Colorado and western Kansas. California, Idaho, Mon
tAna, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas-in fact all Of the
western states and territories are retaining desert land
through irrigation. SO why should the scheme of Baron
De Forest seem so absurd?
If the United States can reclaim 641O,000 acres OF
land, and is still wrestling the desert from the sun and
the sand, why may not this dreamer, sage or prophet de
wise a plan for diverting the waters of the River Niger,
the Saura, the Senegal and the snow-fed streams that
flow from the Tummo mountains and wrest from the
desert its terror of sandy stretches? Why may he not
utilize the waste waters of Africa plains, just as we of
America are beginning to realize the benefits of irrga-
ton, and reap a reward that comes to intelligence and
industry when they labor side by side?
If Baron De Forest can found an empire in Sahara
by retaining that great desert, he will be enrolled
aomng the worlds greatest benefactors, and applause for
his act will resound throughout the civilized world. His
project cannot be dismissed with the cynics sheer that
he does not believe it can be done. There are too many
monuments. along the highway of human progress that
stand as monoiiths of imperishable record to the success
of the men who had faith and who worked and wrought
and brought the world to their feet when they had achiev-
ed.
