Some one has advised us to take very long or
very short views of life. If we are to be peaceful
we will have to do, the seemingly impossible, of
taking both at once. For unless in our vision
we see life with all its conflicts over; all it's
temptation past; and ourselves as more than
conquerors through Him that loved us, our
view has not been long enough to bring peace
The short view shuts us in to the needs of the
present hour; with the assurance, GAS thy days
so shall thy strength be- with no permission
to glance at Tomorrow glance that might
weaken and sicken us, with the despairing feel
ing of the impossibility of all things working
together for good. But living with the con-
seriousness OF an ever present Helper; and the
clear vision of perfected future we can peace
fully throw the whole energy of our being into
doing Gods will, with full assurance that-If
any man will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine"

The scarcity of ministers and ministerial stu
dents continues to be subject of discussion
In almost every part of the Christian Church
In the reformed Church ReUieD, DR.. Lady dis
cusses the subject and assigns what he believes
to be the causes of this scarcity, and proposes
the remedies The causes assigned are, the
failure to appeal to the spirit of self-sacrifce;
the necessity for giving up too much the great
opportunity for secular work. the lack of in
tense religious conviction. The remedies pro-
posed by the writer, are appeal to the heroic in
men; the desirability of making a minister more
comfortable; the need of producing conviction
in the lives and hearts of men. He might have
added, we suggest a cause, growing irreyer-
ence for sacred things, including the ministerial
Office; and prevailing doubt that is nourshed
by lax treatment of the Scriptures and of
Christian doctrine. AS remedy we must re-
turn to an era of clear and profound confidence
in the authority of the ispired Word and the
supreme value of sound doctrine.

Bishop Weldon preached in London recently
on st. John the Baptist's Day, dealing with
the subject of worthy and unworthy ambition
For an example of the latter, the preacher
pointed to the greed for gain now so much in
evidence in America. Towards the close of
his sermon he recalled the fact that this was the
birthday OF famous Engishman, in whom the
strength and modesty which characterized John
the Baptist were signally combined "No one
had shown greater strength, greater hatred
OF injustice than John Hampden, and yet no
one had been more reluctant to embark upon
course which would bring his name before the
eyes and into the hearts of men, So strone
was he, and yet so modest, that Richard Baxter
IN writing the first edition of his Saints Rest
could say it was not the least part of his hope
In going to heaven that he might enjoy the So
ciety OF Hampden. AS our readers know, this
Is the glorious Englishman for whom our
Hampden-Sidney College is named Many of
us share the desire so long cherished by the late
DIR. Moses d. Hoge that at no distant day
worthy statue of John Hampden shall adorn
the college grounds Our Virginia visitors to
London this summer should not fail to see the
statute of Hampden which stands with those of
the other makers of England in the great hall
way leading to the House of Commons in the
Parliament Buildings at Westminster.

1t is probable that there is water power going
to waste Immediately adjacent to the city of
Richmond, sufficient, if properly applied, to
furnish electric motive power for driving the
machinery Of all the factories and other in
dustrles, propelling the electric cars, lighting
the streets, heating and lighting the homes of
the people OF the entire city and to do this and
more, even when the city shall have grown to a
much larger population. The immense energy
that is expended in the flow of the rivers is be-
Ing utilized by numbers of our fourishing and
progressive cities throughout our land. On
the Pacific coast, San Francisco Sacramento
Seattle and Iocoma have already harnessed the
waters OF mountain streams, some of them
hundred miles away, to transmit electricity TO
central dynamos for lighting the cities and fur
nlshlng transportation. The Hudson River
now supplies light and power for the important
centres OF population and commerce along its
shores. 1t is said that Niagara Falls has suf-
hclent power to drive every workshop and every
mill from Sandy Hook to the Golden Gate. and
from the Red River of the North to the rolling
waters of the Gulf" May this not suggest
higher thought of the unlimited supplies of
grace that are waiting the faith and devotion of
people that undertake great things for God
and expect great things from Him? The or
ganlzatlon Of the Christian Church is vast. It's
wealth and other resources are greater than ever
before; it has the culture, the intellect and char
acter OF the entire world. How it needs to be
endued with power from on high"

There is the solitude so hard to find in the
world below and so much needed, and there is
the peace that comes from separation from the
world, and its toll and turmoil, it's care and
strains. The peace of the mountain-top that
seems to come from above. "The most press
ing peril of our time is that the world is too
much with us. We are too busy, alike in com
mon life and in the church. We should do far
more effective work if we attempted less, and
spent more time in the place from which
strength comes. Isaiah's startling complaint
Is true to-day: "My people doth not consider
my people do not think" The day came when
Jesus called his disciples in from their preach
ing In the village, saying, "Come ye apart and
rest awhile" and then led them off and up on

our Lord was a mountain lover, and encourage,
His disciples to seek among the lonely hills tn
refreshment for body and mind which He price
for Himself DIR. Stalker has fine passage
in which he says that he had never so clearl
realized the nearness of God as when restin
far up ON the hill above the little town of In
verary. Here is little mountain poem, drift
ed to us this week:
L the mountains stand
Silent, wonderful and grand,
Looking out across the land
And L heard low voice calling:
Come up higher, up higher,
From the lowand and the mire
go From the mist of earth desire,
From the vain pursuit of pelf,
From the attitude of self
Come up higher, come up higher
Think not that cold,
Though eternal SHOWS have crowned us;
Underneath breasts of snow
Silver fountains sing and flow
And restore the hungry lands"

Those who will not climb any mountain side
this summer have our sympathy. 1t is not
enough to tarry in the valley and look up and
admire and venerate One must be friendly and
draw nigh and ascend. One must tax his
strength and his courage and his perseverance,
and sometimes leave his friends behind and 90
perhaps alone to the very top. Far up toward
the skies are some of the best things the world
has to give, and they are kept for those who
climb bravely and steadily up the rocky way
There are the vast stores OF living air, without
limit and without price, which you breathe as
one who drinks some unearthly wine.

would not be built until &c was clearly
demonstrated that the present wall
was insufficient II would be highly
advantageous IL a stone wall could be
built TO replace the present timber

Fourth-It would, in my opinion, be
highly inadvsable for the delegate
from Hawaii to content himself with
asking for an appropriation only sufH-
cient to cut off the lighthouse point.
I can not urge too strongly that an
appropriation sufficient to cover the re-
moval of both the lighthouse point and
that portion of the harbor owned by
the Dowsett Co., Ltd, and the Oahu
Railway & Land Co., Ltd, be rec
commended by the Chamber Of Com
merce and strongly urged by the dele
gate. I desire to impress upon the
Chamber of Commerce the utter futi-
lily of asking appropriations for har-
Dor improvements not covered by pro-
iects. 1t is especially futile when such
an extensive project exists as that now
existing for the Improvement of Homo
lulu harbor I regret exceedingly that
the Pilots Association have not con-
sidered it expedient to express their
needs and wishes to this office. My

Railway Officials to Care for 200 on
Five Hours Notice.

Mayor Q. L. Ingledue received a tele-
gram Thursday evening at 5 O'Clock
from the office of Superintendent w. III.
Whalen, of the Chicago & N~orthwes-
tern, at Boone, asking how many peo-
pie from the stricken districts Of Cali
fornia the city could feed If called upon,
and how much notice would be wanted
If the city is asked to act. Mayor In
gledue wired back Immediately that
Marshalltown would feed 200 of the
refugees on five hours notice. The
mayor is now awaiting word from
Boone, and if the railroad company
finds it necessary this city will enter
tain a large number of refugees for a
short time.
In case the homeless people from the
west stop here for a meal Mayor lngle-
due will issue orders for the police to
conduct the refugees to the different
eating houses and hotels in the depot
district, where they will be fed. The
police will keep a strict ccoun of how
many people are cared for. The cost
will be met from the relief fund that
Is being collected in Marshalltown, I'M
less otherwise provided for.
Four Hundred Thru City.
Four hundred refugees, occupying a
train run east as the second section of
No. 4, reached the city at $40 Thurs
day night. They had been fed EN-
route. Boone fed los people from the
stricken districts Wednesday night.
Relief Fund Collections.
The relief fund collections in cash
have now amounted to $500, leaving
a balance of about $500 subscribed and
not paid in. Mayor Ingledue is going
to hire a collector tomorrow to see the
people who have not paid, in order
that the money may be turned over at
to Treasurer Fletcher.

NEED OF THE REFUGEES
Public Can Contribute Tomorrow by
Purchasing Clothing of w. G. Strick-
ler-An Excellent Idea.

A. train load of 200 to 500 refugees
from the San Francisco disaster are
but the ~premonition of desolation to be
disclosed when the truth is known,
Money is needed, and one merchant in
Marshalltown offers the public gener-
ally to contribute a large fund by the
mere purchase Of necessary clothing at
regular prices. During the one days
sales only, tomorrow. he will give to
the benefit fund one-fourth of all the
cash received.
1t is not extraordinary for a good
day to show $500 to $500 worth of
goods sold from a Marshalltown cloth
ing store, and if the public will respond
this sum coul~ easily be swelled to
81, 900. In any event, the public has 1t
in its power to put 81 into the San
Francisco fund for every 81 invested in
clothes. If the clothes are needed, 1t
then really costs nothing to contribute
to a most worthy cause by buying
large bills of goods of Mr.. Stricken.
Every little mite helps.

Likewise with the men who sub

is received. The committee gets moth
ing for it's public work. The members
have walked the town for three months

Coffee Most Pernicious.

A manly young fellow, working hi:
way thru school, and whom the world
will hear of some day, came near
blighting all his prospects by coffee
drinking.
II drank coffee all my life" he says
land looking back / can see that it was
responsible for much of the nervous
ness from which 1 suffered as a child
Four years ago while at a preparatory
school 1 began to use it more freely
than ever before.
II imagined it strengthened me, but
as the school year went on I felt thai
I was playing out First, l was
troubled about studying in the evening
then / got so / could not sleep well AND
rose in the morning unrefreshed. My
nerves grew shaky, hands trembled
eyes panied me, and sometimes at the
blackboard everything would seem tc
turn blackI couldn't see what 1 was
doing and would have to take my seat
Then my brain seemed to grow slug
gish-I could not think clearly and con-
~secutively.
Thus things went on for a year
sometimes a little better, then worse
again. I laid it to various causes. but
didn't hit on the right n e till I went
to a physician. He said that my nerv-
Gus system and digestion were in bad
shape, owing to improper diet, and the
use of coffee. I said 1 couldn't get
along without coffee, but he insisted
that l should give it up and use Postum
Food Coffee instead.
81 at once changed my diet, and for
a time lived principally on Postum,
Grape-Nuts and fresh fruit. The inn
provement began quickly to manifest
itself. My sleep came back, my brain
grew clear and active, my nerve We're
steadied and my digestion is better
than ever before. The color has come
back to my cheeks and gained nearly
80 pounds weight in three months. My
mind is active and I enjoy studying.
