that to the Colossians following it %
times, the apostle S letter to the Phil
ippians mentioned himself III times.
The prize mentioned in the text, ac-
cording to the original, was the calling
upward of God. There was an idea of
tenseness, of straining upward for the
prize, in the apostles declaration.
1t is not well to allow our minds to
be fixed on the past. The future is the
greater concern. A sculptor looked at
a figure he had carved and pronounced
it perfect. Then he said there was
nothing left for him but to die. And
he was right. When achievement
overtakes ambition with a man the end
has come.
DR.. Kincaid quoted speaker at the
recent church unity congress as saying
that one hot church in a community
would do more good than dozen cold
churches.
1t was passion for Christ and COM
passion for men which made church
pONtIlul. Ell members III CeuIfdl
Union Church thus inspired for effort
would do more to uplift the commun-
ity than thousand members without
enthusiasm.
He liked the word sympathy better
than cooperation or fraternity, because
it was word that embraced the whole
world. The church was told to look
upward because the world was on a
lower level and by the uplifting of the
church the world wouIu be- elevated.
What tremendous power for elevat-
ing this community would not that
church become if its thousand mem
bers were seized by the impulse of the
text and press toward the goal for the
prize of the high calling?
DIR. Kincaid described Central Union
Church as eminent in situation, emf
nent in equipment and eminent in the
number of brilliant men among its
MEMBERS

ent, most of the seating capacity be-

HEART AFFECTS WATCH.
rimepiece Is Uncertain If That Or
gain Is Irregular, Says
Matchmaker.

Nobody would ever think that some
hing the matter with him would
cause something to be the matter with
cause of much uneasiness in an East
End family. says the Pittsburg Ga
cite, and all because he insists that
he does his best with certain watch
and that the reason it does not keep
good time is because the man who car
ries it must have an irregular heart
beat.
It came about in this wise: The
head of the family has gold watch
that cost him 5000 ten years ago. He
has carried 1t ever since. but a year
ago 1t began to act queerly. For some
lays it lost time. and then it began
to gain time; again 1t would gain time
mysteriously and then strangely lose
a minute or two a day. 1t had been
to the watch repairer three times in
IL months, and was still acting irreg-
ularly a week ago when the mans
wife took it to the watch maker.
81 think | know what is the matter
with this watch" said the craftsman.
Il don't believe that your husbands
heart beats regularly. Now, don't get
alarmed 1t is not necessarily disease
He may be just one of those men who
can't have a watch that keeps good
time, simply because of their irregular
heart beats.
you see, a watch has a regular
rhythmic movement" said the watch
maker. sit is carried close to the hui
man heart, which ought to have reg
ular rhythmic movement, too. Now,
while the watch is beating away the
heart is beating also. II its pulsations
occur regularly, punctuating the
rhythm of the watch at specific inter-
walls, the rhythm of the watch move.
nent Is undisturbed; but let the heart
pulsations occur irregularly, now pull

again stopping discordantly in be-
tween the ticks, the watch is bound to
| be affected. Leave this watch here
| and let your husband carry your
watch, which we know keeps regular
time. Let him wear 1t month, and
see If am not right"
So the woman handed her husband
her watch to note > the result. She
wanted him to consult specialist Inn
mediately upon her return from the
watch maker, but he compromised hy
! agreeing to try the test suggested by
the watch man.

WAS A "oRAND OLD MAN,.
Passing of the Foremost Citizen and
Scholar of the Argentine
Republic.

On the 10th of January, 1906, the
Grand Old Man" of the Argentine Re-
public, the Washington of his coun-
try, Gen. Mitre, passed from the scene
of his So years of laborious and glori-
GUS record. His biography is the po-.
litical history of the Argentine Re-
public during the last half of the nine
teenth century, writes Jennie Howard,
Buenos Ayres, in Boston Transcript.
A pure-hearted, brave, simple, honest
man, whose patriotism was the inspira-
ton and handspring Of his life he
is mourned to-day, not alone by his
own country, which owes its life as
a nation to him. but by the sister re-
publics of South America, for whose
liberty and welfare he was ever ready
to sacrifice his fortune, his ambitions,
and life itself.
He was historian, and his histories
of San Martin and Belgrano are every
where admitted to be true monuments
of his erudition and distinguished lit
erary ability. He was a poet, and a
translator from English, French and
Italian. Dante's Inferno" and Victor
Hugo's "Ruy Bias" being among his
most famous translations His trans
lation of "Gray's "Elegy" and Long
fellows Psalm of Life" are among his
finest translations of shorter poems.
From an early period of his life,
Gen. Mitre had the distinction of be-
ing elected member of the leading
literary and scientific institutions of
the world. These included the Geo.
logical Society of Berlin, the Scan
dinavian Royal Antiquarian society,
the Historical Institute of france, the
Royal Academy of Science and Art of
Spain, the Academy of Sciences of
Lisbon, Historical Society of Rhode Is
land, U. S. A., and was granted the
high honor of the "Insigne Artistica
Congregations de Virtuosi al Pan
theon," besides being a member OF
many similar societies in Europe and
the South American republic. There
is neither time nor space for list OF
the literary works of Gen. Mitre, nor
the honors showered upon him from
all parts of the civilized world.
