@ uCHJ ErhnLCD Il g years ago. Nor are we WITHOUT N
amples to show that it is possible of practical application.
or moro regarded each other as natural enemies, and they taxed their
people to the stretch of endurance to keep their armies and navies on
a war footing. Finally realizing the folly and wickednes Of such a
pohcy, they recently entered into a treaty Of SANITY AND DIS
reduced their military forces to police necessities and
sold their battleships and cruisers or converted them into merchant
vessels. thus Chile and Argentina guarantee each others peace and
autonomy.
The war and navy departments are constantly appealing to con-
gross for increased appropriations to put them in proper condition for
war. The lately retired commanding general of the army announced
IN a public address that we must prepare for THE NEXT WAR,
and a prominent admiral of the navy goes so far Is to Indicate the
nation which is to be our antagonist.
Why this constant harping on the "next war" when there is no
human probability of having one? If we attend to our business and
allow other nations to attend to theirs there will be NO OCCASION
Tor armed conflicts on our part. / do not believe in "the white mans
burden" in the sense indicated by the lingo British poet, the author of
the phrase. Our mission as a people, living in security on this CONT
nent, separated by wide oceans from any other great military power,
is to maintain HERE a model republican government and democratic
Institutions which shall stand as a beacon of hope for the oppressed OF
all countries, to develop our marvellous resources, to encourage COM
merce, industries and intelligence and by our example TO PRO
MOTE PEACE AND JUSTICE among mankind.
How little have the rulers Of our day profted by the lessons of
history! The late secretary of the navy advocated the increase of the
American navy to an equal place with the most formidable sea power
in the world. Great Britain launches the Dreadnought and congress
is Immediately beseged and implored to appropriate the millions nee
essary to build a larger and MORE Destructive MONSTER.
1t is high time that the peace loving people of America should call a
halt in our naval expenditures.
l believe that in the present stage of the worlds progress MOST
WARS may be avoided, and if the powerful nations will unite in com
pulsory arbitration ALL AGGRESSIVE WARS may be pre-
vented.
ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE MEASURE NEXT TO, If NOT
EQUAL IN IMPORTANCE WITH, COMPULSORY ARBITRATION is
THE LIMITATION AND DIMlNuTIoN OF THE ORNAMENTS OF THE
GREAT POWERS.

Ex-Amateur.

Eastern Star.

Sam Berger of San Francisco is the
present big noise IN the heavyweight
pugilistic arena. AS for the reason-
well, every one knows it. Sam out.
fought philadelphia Jack" O'Brlen in
Quakertown and is now the foremost
claimant for the classic throne left va
cant when the unequaled Jim Jeffries
took to the woods.
Sam had the crafty, shifty O'BrieG
lad going four ways when the gong got
busy in Philadelphia. Jack was all in,
his wind and strength were all out.
and Sam had the answer In both or his
brawny mitts. And the Berger boy
was only an amateur q year ~ 100.
Oh, sadness for the O'Brien clan!
1t had been popularity predicted that
Jack O'Brien would wipe Sam OFF nj
lovely sphere. 1t had been said with
wise and knowing smiles that O'Brien
In making this match had simply de-
cided to make a little vacation money
in the easiest manner possible. They
likencd Berger to a big "lemon," and
they said that O'Brien's favorite sum
mer drink was lemonade.
When Berger made some stout
speeches to the effect that if he ever
got a chance at "Jumpin' Jack"
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-07-31

O'Brien he would make him look like
a broken toy the speeches We're not
listened to with any patience. They
said that Berger would think of the
San Francisco earthquake as a mere
trifler after he had fallen against the
whirling gloves of the magical O'Bgien.
But when the six rounds ended Ber-
ger was the bully boy. He had beaten
O'Brien. He had gone against the
clever ringmaster without any fear,
without any nervousness. He had
played the game with a stout heart.
He had taken the lightning jabs. He
had withstood the cruel hooks. He
had not for one instant backed AWAY
from the fray. He went ponderously
pounding away at O'Brien's face and
at his body, and if he missed and got
sharp, singing blows for his pains he
refused to be at all discouraged or
put out by them.
He kept after O'Brien. He made
O'Brlen dance his liveliest to keep out
Of harms way. He was so persistent
in his attack that there were times
when the claimant of the heavyweight
championship was obliged to turn tail
and u like a rabbit to different parts
Of the ring.
He made O'Brien hug. He made
O'Brien use every trick that the old
ring warrior knows how to use when
the fire gets too fierce for safety and
comfort.
The fight itself was a splendid one
Never did the seconds of any minute
In any round drag. The men were at
it constantly, and Berger's absolutely
constant attack upon his shlftier opp
nent OF great rcpute was what won
the crowds heart.
OBrien met the attacks with the best
play of hands and feet that he has In
his command, and a lightning fast and
wonderful boxer he really Is. But II
was he only In the six rounds of Sill
perb, supple and slashing savagery that
ever asked for quarter. He did It now
and then in the last swift session OF
the fight by turning his gloves back Of
Berger's arms and holding until Ref
cree Jack McGulgan a little ~scornfully
would break the gloves away and free
the big youthful Californian from the
crablike clutch.

EBEN NJ. BYERs, NEW GOLF CHAMPION.
club. Byers made one OF the pluck lest
uphill fights ever seen on n golf course,
being at one time 4 down.
The win was, of course, immensely
popular for the reason that the golfers
did not relish the idea Of having the
title go across the border. For all that,
the rousing sendoff that was given the
veteran Canuck at the finish must have
made him feel like a hero.
Lyon has made hundreds of friends
by this latest invasion into the states,
and whenever he plays again there will
always be a large number ready to
flock to his standard.
Byers d%eservedly won. He has been
knocking at the championship door for
several years. This makes the third
time he has reached the finals. Byers
has been playing golf for eight years.
Young Byers, trim in knickerbockers
and with a style modelled on the meth
cd of classic st. Andrews and Sand
witch, was a contrast in every way to
the stocky, gray haired old time anna
teur cricket player who stood in fan
mel trousers and light shirt, as if ready
to bowl or bat.
Both the golfers who battled in the
finals for the amateur championship
were men of championship calibc..
Byers when at Yale was captain OF
the team and Won the Yale golf cham
pionship.
In the national championship of 1902
Byers was runner up to Louis n.

JEWELRY IN PHILIPPINES.
Comes from Germany, But Should
Be Supplied by the United
States.

Consul Britain, of Kehl, writes as
follows regarding shipments of jew
elry from his consular district to Ma
Mia:
During the past four months, or
since 1t has been necessary to con-
sulate invoices for the Philippine
islands, the jewelry manufacturers of
Pforzheim have had invoices for Ma
Mia amounting to nearly $25, 200. Dur
ing the same period many shipments
under 500 In value were made, which
would probably increase the above
amount very considerably. The jewel
ry consists principally of ladies
chains, brooches, earrings, bracelets,
rings and pins. Much of the jewelry is
OF IL and IA carats gold, and also
cheaper goods.
"Pforzheim is a city of about $4,000
population and is devoted almost ex-
elusively to the manufacture of jewell
ry, there being about 500 factories
where jewelry Is made. 1t is the jewel
ry center of Europe. Inc various
manufacturers are very energetic and
are careful to study the wants of their
customers, and endeavor to please
them regarding designs, prices and
terms of sale. From present indica-
tons the shipment of jewelry to the
Philippines will amount to about $780,
900 for the fiscal year. With the Amer
lean manufacturers advantages in dis
lance and machinery-as much of the
Pforzheim jewelry is made by hand
1t appears that we should capture
more of the trade of the islands.
THE facts are the German manu.
facturer often wins by easy terms of
sale as to credits and discounts and
making what the customer wants. in
quality and design, and the American
maker loses because he demands cash
before his goods leave America, and
attempts to sell in the Philippine
islands designs suited to PHILADELPHIA
or New York trade. Recently a young
German came to me and said he could
sell so to IS American machines of n
certain make If he was sure the ma
chimes would do what was claimed for
them. He offered to give good ref
erences and pay one-half In advance
for a sample machine costing about
$3.50, and If it was as represented he
would Immediately place a large cash
order, but the maker refused, thus
sacrificing an order of $4,000"

George S. Lyon Of the Lamhton Golf

only golfer from a foreign club to have
lasted to the finals in an American

as the best crlcketer in CANADA, Lyon
took up golf in 1896 and since that
time has won the championship of the
country across the border four times.

Feeling of the English
For the Americans
entering the ministry.
By Bishop H. c. POTTER of New York

A%7OU. may depend upon it, there's NO LOVE LOST between
Great Britain and America. L think there is a good deal OF
gush about British protestations of love for America. 1e
more acute and serious of the British people do not think we
are a nation of grafters, but they think we are VERY EASILY
TEMPTED by gain.
l feel sure that the chief difference between America M Great
Britain is that we wash our dirty linen in public and Great Britain
washes hers IN PRIVATE.
British ideas Of Americans are a good deal on the vague. l don't
think they are just to us. They have certain impressions OF us AS
WE ARE NOT.

tions and tastes must not, of course, be neglected, but / still believe
that the summons to the gospel ministry is a special calling under
Gods %providental guidance TO A SPECIAL WORK for the good
Of men and the glory of God.

In determining the reality of the divine call to the ministry due
weight ought, of course, to be attached to physical health, literary
tastes, elocutive expression and spiritual attainment and CHARAC-
TER. The presence o. absence of these qualities will assist in deter
mining the reality of the divine call. 1t will be a sad day for the
cause of God and man if the old fashioned idea expressed in the phrase
