"Rock OF AGES"
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"

Let me hide myself in thee"
In the year 1856 a young man of
sixteen, while visiting with his moth
er in Ireland, attended an evangelistic
meeting held in a barn at the little
village of Codymain. At this meeting
the young man was converted. He
was none other than Augustus Monta-
que Toplady, who afterwards wrote
this famous hymn. OF his conversion
the author says: Strange that |, who
had so long sat under the means in
England, should be brought right unto
God in an obscure part of Ireland,
midst handful of people met togeth-
er in barn, and by the ministry of
one who could hardly spen his own
name. Surely, it was the Lords do
ings, and is marvellous"
At the age of twenty-five Toplady
received orders in the Church of Eng
land. He was strong Calvinist, and
the author of many popular hymns.
He died in 1878. "Rock of Ages" was
first published in 1916, in the Gospel
Magazine, of which he was editor
The hymn has been more or less al
tered and rearranged several times
since then, but the sentiment remains
the same.
1t was to this hymn that the beloved
Prince Consort, Albert of England,
turned, repeating it constantly upon
his deathbed; "for," said he, eff in
this hour | had only my worluly hon
ors and dignities to depend upon,
should be poor indeed
Mrs. L. s. cambridge, who with her
husband visited China for the purpose
of studying Christian missions, tells
the following incident: "The Chinese
women, it seems, are so anxious to
make merit for themselves that they
will perform any labor to escape the
painful transmigrations of the next
life. They dread to be born again as
dogs and cats, and the highest hope
possessed by them is to be reborn as
men. In order to secure this, they do
amy and every meritorious act One
woman had excavated with her poor,
weak hands a we'll twenty feet deep,
and it was only after this achieve
ment that she learned of the free Cos
pei of salvation. She was now a WON
an of eighty, and, stretching out her
aged and crippled fingers, we sang to-
gether:
Nothing in my hand | bring,
Simply to thy cross | cling"
Years ago when a ship sank in the
Bay of Biscay, man who was saved
was asked what the passengers were
doing when the ship went down. He
said that the last he heard was Rock
of Ages sung by all who could join
in it.
Several tunes have been written for
this hymn, the most popular one, how
ever, being the one by DR.. Thomas
Hastings, who was born at Washing
ton, Conn, in 1884, and who died in
New York in 1872. He wrote many
hymns and published several hymn
books.-Ira d. Sankey in Sunday

WHY PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH,

A great many people do not go to
church because they have not got the
love of God in their hearts.
This is the whole story In nut
shell, regardless of the fact that the
st. Augustine Record and other state
papers are commencing an ill-advised
editorial in the Jasper News in which
is given a list of reasons why church
congregations are not larger. The Jas
per News rests the greater part Of the
fault upon the preachers, but the
preachers will shake it of because
they, of all men, know that 1t does
not belong there. The fault Is with
each individual, whether they are
church members or not. The preacher
can do much toward making his SER
vices attractive, but he cannot 90 ev-
Icrything. He needs the help of every
member of his congregation. Alone he
can do little more than preach the
gospel of Christ. 1t is not part of
his calling to provide entertainment"
for the people who go to church. That
belongs to the minstrel or the Punch
and Judy man. Some people go to
church to hear the music Others go
TO church to drink in the melody of
the story of Christ and Him crucifed.
Some people go to church to see
and to be seen in their glad rags.
Others go to church because they
love Jesus who said, "Forsake not
the assembling of yourselves togeth-
err" and because they feel that it is
a duty to sustain the church by their
presence AMI to hold society together
and to preserve Goodness in the com
munity
Some people go to church in order
that they may critcise the preacher.
Others go to church to encourage ard
uphold him in his work
1.-The preacher is the last man in
the community and the church is the
one institution in the community
which should not fall under the ban
of common criticism. The preacher
and the church should be upheld and
encouraged, and it is In the power OF
every church-goer to influence this
end by giving to the preacher a no.
Illness and to the church a sacredness
above that which is accorded by the
thoughtless.
THE preacher needs encourage
ment by word and by interest shown
in him and in his work.
He should be encouraged by regu-
lar attendance at midweek and Sab
bath services.
His congregation should allow him
to feel no financial worry. 1t should
be seen to that his salry is abundant
and that it is promptly paid.
Each member of the congregation
should study to devise some means
of helping the preacher in his work
and do their individual parts towar
making every other attendant fee,
that it is good to attend church
"Bnt no matter whether the SER
mon be good or bad, nor whether the
preacher be entertaining or dull, the
love of God in the heart is the chief
thing which influences church going
under ordinary circumstances."-Mi
ami News.

ROOSEVELT Returns
TRIP TO PANAMA and PORTO RICO
COMPLETED.
President Deeply Impressed With
What HeSaw During His Jour-
ney--Panama Canal to Be the
Subject of a Special Message
to Congress.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Completing
a remarkable trip to Panama, during
which he travelled several thousand
miles and visited not only the isthmus
but Porto Rico as we'll, and voicing
his thorough enjoyment Of the entire
voyage, President Roosevelt returned
to Washington at 1915 last night.
The trip up the Potomac was made
in the converted yacht Mayflowez.
The president landed within ten
minutes of the arrival Of the May
flower. To those who met him he
stated that he had had a delightful
trip and that he was feeling fine.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt at
once proceeded to the White House,
where they arrived shortly afterl1 o.
clock.
As the president alighted from his
arriage he shook hands with all the
attaches and others waiting on the
portico. Speaking Of his trip the pres
ident said:
''We had very pleasant, very en-
joyable time, and I am deeply i'm
pressed with the United States navy,
with Panama and with Porto Rico"
The Panama canal, it was stated ty
the president, will be the subject of
a special message and consequently on
that subject the president will say
nothing at this time.

WON'T COLLECT FARES

Mosquito Fleet Captains Will Not Act as
Pursers.
Seattle, Nov. % Mosquito feet
captains who act as pursers without
leaving a licensed pilot in charge of
the craft while they are collecting
fares are in danger of losing their IL
censes. In fact, it is said that Marine
Inspectors Whitney and Turner will
discourage the practice OF captains
taking the tickets, unless they collect
them at the gangway before the steam
or leaves the wharf.
Such, it is understood, will be the
outcome of the Investigations now be-
ing conducted into the loss of the
steamer Dix last Sunday week, by the
government inspectors, who have
learned, after examining numerous
witnesses. that the practice Of having
purser captains on several Of the
steamers has been common.
Both the inspectors declare they
were not aware that captains not carry
ign licensed pilots had been acting as
pursers in violation of the law. They
were aware, however, that it was Gus.
tomary on some Of the steamers, but
it is said that these carried pilots.

Peary said that he usually employed
Newfoundland seamen. for far North

than American, but because their seal
ing experience accustoms them to
dealing with pack ice.
He expressed the belief that sledg-
ing is the best known method Of reach
ing the north pole. but would advo-
cate aerial navigation il it we're posi-
BILE to obtain good airship. He con-
siders the present flying machines to

STOCK is WATERED
Indiana Railroad Commission Makes q
Report.

Report.
Indianapolis, Nov. 27.-The water
ing of railroad stocks or overcapital-
ization by the large transportation
lines is commented upon by the state
railroad commission in its first report
which will be made to the governor of
Indiana in the next few days. The
report Is the first the commission will
have filed since it's creation by the
general assembly two years ago.
The report shows that forty-three
roads reporting to the commission
state the value of the road and equip
ment and give the value of each per
mile. Along with this report is also
shown the amount of stock issued.
In the comparative statement which
the commission has made of these
items it appears that twenty of the
companies have issued bonds and
stocks in excess of the value Of the
roads and equipment.
"These excesses," the commission
says in it's report, constitute what is
commonly called 'watered stock or
overcapitaliaztion. Eighteen of the
roads reporting show a valuation per
mile on account Of cost of roads and
equipment in excess of the stocks and
funded debt ranging from Sal to $38, :
600 per mile. An examination of these
figures with purpose of finding any
relation between known conditions
and the paper valuation is useless"

COMMISSION MUST ANSWER
Judge Hanford Rules in Joint Wheat
Rate Case.

Seattle, Nov. 27.-Answer will have
to be made by the Washington State
railway commission to the objections
raised by the railroads to the joint
wheat rate order against which tom
porary injunction is now in force.
Judge G. 81. Hanford, Of the federal
court, overruled the demurrer. which
had been fled by the commission to
the complaint of the O. r. & N, and
the cross complaints Of the Northern
Pacific and Great, Northern. The
demurrer was based on the ground
that the bills Of complaint did not
state facts sufficient to justify an ac-
ton.
Judge Hanford held that the com-
plant was sucfhient to require answer
and that he would not pass on the
points, auch % constitutionality,
which had been argued before him,

NORWAY GUARANTEED
AGAINST A6GREssOR

st. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-An inter
national compact guaranteeing the In
volatility of Norway against terrific
rial aggression by any power whatever
and giving the new kingdom a status
somewhat similar to that of Switzer
land and Belgium, will be soon in
scribed on the records of diplomacy.
On account of it's extended position,
the possession of valuable deep water
harbors on the Atlantic and the
agreement with Sweden against fortlh-
cation in the neighborhood OF tho
frontier, Norway is in a peculiarly ez-
posed position, and the first efforts Of
Morse diplomacy have been directed
toward eliminating the danger OF b.
ing attacked and securing facilities
for the peaceful development OF the
country without the crushing burdea
of q large army.
With regard to the action OF Nor
way in approaching the powers for tns
purpose of securing these concessions,
it can be stated that Russia, the poWd
most directly concerned and nom
which Norway, in spite OF the GEM"
Of the Russian foreign office that aus
