METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
"He knows how l am longing
Some weary soul to win;
And so he bids me go and speak
The loving words for him;
He bids me tell His wonderous love,
And why he came to die;
And so we work together,
My Lord and l."
1t is wonderful how God will speak
with the small still voice to his children
bidding them do this and that for the
Master, and how plainly that voice is
heard by the one who trains and keeps
his ear trained to hear the faintest
whisper. All, beloved if you and your
Lord were on more intimate terms it
would cost you less shame and sorrow
and you would have more joy and
happiness. Come to the Sunday
services where you may learn more of
this blessed way. Don't forget the
80 minute song service at 8 p. m.

HEALTH N HABITS.
31ssue Income and Expenditure Mus,
BE Made to Balance.

-
BE Mad t. Balance.
The day must come at some future
period of sociological development
when the instinct Of self preservation
will overrule the pernicious habits and
customs Of the present day fashions
and necessity. Men will come to learn
that tissue income and expenditure
must be adjusted to a better balance If
the human machine Is to be kept in
smoothly working order; that excess Of
either Is a physiological sin which ma
ture will surely avenge either on the
individual or OH his descendants; that
sustained work of the best quality can
only be performed when effort Is kept
well within the margin Of accomplish
ment; that luxurious idlencss and arti-
fcial excitement, when carried beyond
the limits Of a healthy counterpoisc to
the daily routine of active duty, bring
about their neurasthen;c nemesis as
surely as Ov~erstrcnuous endeavor, and
that the coming gencrhion can be fit
ted to battle with the increasing CON-
plexities Of life only If endowed with
ooAS S'ob - iuSlulOlly pei lSSI
and with centers capable of
producing throughout an average dura-
ton Of life sufficient energy to enable
the machine to perform satisfactorily
the work whereto it has been set.
A more vigorous public sentiment,
fostcred by an example Of greater self
denial and more rigid adherence to
simplicity Of life on the part Of those
who set the pace and lead the fashions
Of the day, would do much to arrest
the downhill rush Of the multitude:
pronounced social disapproval Of the
immoderate use Of alcohol and tobacco
and the stern forbidding of both under
the age Of puberty would shield the
nervous centers from two of their most
deadly enemies, and, though it might
at first crate against popular feeling,
the Introduction by the legislature of
an enactment whereby some form of
compulsory military service was ex-
acted from every healthy young man
would materially contribute to the
preservation Of active minds in vigor-
u bodies to those who are destined
to make or mar the future history Of
their fatherland.-Guthrie Rankin, NJ.

Cathedral's Title Chain.

There is M thing in particular in st.
Patrick's cathedral in New York that
you cannot see in any other building
in the city, If indeed in the country. It
is a framed sheet Of paper hanging on
the wall Of the southern entrance that
contains the complete chain of title Of
the property on which the edifice
stands from the time it was first sold
until the church authorities bought it.
The only reason for it's being there so
far as any n knows is to put a stop
to the old story that the property was
originally purchased by the church for
a dollar. To settle this point the chain
Of title shows how much was paid for
1t In the beginning, and from that
point on each change Of ownership is
accompanied by the price it was sold
for.

The failure of the Milwaukee
Avenue bank at Chicago this
week demonstrates again that
there is need of reform in the
state banking laws of Illinois.
If Chicago wishes to maintain a
high place in the financial world
something must be done to check
her frequent bank failures. De-
positors need to be safeguarded
from the blunders of officers who
invest money intrusted to their
keeping in wild real estate
schemes.

The regular time for district
court is September II, and it
looks as though Judge Winchester
should make a special effort to
get around to Stark county on
that date in order that some very
important court work may be
cleaned up with the least possible
expense to the county. Speedy
trial is the best for all parties,
and it is the only thing that gives
satisfaction to the people.
