found himself all out after he had
given ffty-three female members a Wig

he made touching appeal and the same
evening every dollar needed was on the
table in front Of the pulpit The pastor
startled the brethren and pleased the
sisters by making this announcement:
If yeu viii all come down to the
parsonage III hug the last one of you 8"

SiEgling, TO reach the pastors home.

That the American people are in for
4 period of marked changes is beyond
question. Apparently it Is not yet be-
yond question to which party the cause
Of progress shall be entrusted-to the
Republican or Democratic party. or to
some new group called inso being to
execute a general demand. Political OBJ
servers assume that that matter Is still
open, and their eyes are turned toward
the campaign Of 1908 for an answer.
We think, however, that the political
history of the last few years has al
ready foreclosed the Stewardship of
these great policies. Every milestone
In the path along which the people of
The country are moving resolutely on
