Washington, June 15.-The Senate
yesterday decided to vote next Thurs
day on the Panama sea level canal
bill, accepted the conference reports
on the diplomatic and naval appro-
priation bills, the former complete and
the latter partial; passed bill limit
ing the liability that may be assumed
by individual to national banks;
adopted Senator Morgai 5 resolution
relative to the control of the Panama
railroad; admitted A. W. Benson to a
seat as the successor Of Senator Bur
ton of Kansas; received the creden-
tiaIs of Senator elect Dupont of Della

Dryden in support of lock canal
across the isthmus of Panama, and
also passed several bills of semi-pri-
vate character.
A dramatic scene occurred In the
house during the adoption OF the con-
ference report on statehood, in which
the speaker was the chief participant
and in which he took exception to
what he interpreted as insinuations by
Delegate Smith Of Arizona, that undue
influence had been used to affect his
position On the statehood question.

Washington, June 17.-By a vote Of
ITO to SO the house yesterday, at the
end of twohour debate on the ap-
propriations for the Panama canal,
decided that the canal should be of
lock type. After listening to the
speech Of Mr., Burton Of Ohio in favor
Of the lock canal, and consuming an
hour in the discussion Of the amend
ment defining the type as presented
by Mr.. Littauer Of New York, the
house, in committee of the whole, ex-
pressed its opinion in favor of a lock
canal
By a decisive vote the house refused
to sanction the purchase of materials
in the markets Of the world for the
Panama canal, the general position Of
the Republicans being that as the
canal was to be built by American
taxes the American wprkingman and
the American manufacturer should
have the advantage.

course. 1t is by unusual methods such as
these that many of the better class of jap
anese who feel themselves above attend
ing a Christian service, are being reached
by the missionary campaign
At meeting held here since my arrival
the missionaries adopted a pamphlet set
ting forth the history of Japanese missions,
together with the nature CT the work and
its location, for distribution among tour
lists. The missionaries say that the criti-
cisms of the globe-trOtter are due to lack
of information, and they want to help set
him straight.
Novel ideas in church work 1 found to be
common in Japan. 1 heard considerable
here about the ''P and r. Building Asso-
ciation,'' which inquiry showed is not a
thrifty scheme for laying up money for a
rainy day, as 1t is on the other side of the
Pacific, but a missionary enterprise by mis-
sionaries. Subscribers, chiefly members of
the missions, pay S. year for each share;
then, whenever native congregation
needs help in putting up a church build
ing, 1t applies to the building association,
which advances a sum equal to not more
than one-third of the total cost OIL the
structure. For each grant SO made every
shareholder is assessed 81, the aggregate
assessment for a year being limited to S..
In return the shareholder gets the prvi-
lege of paying another SO the next year!
Considering the charge that the mission
aries are ..grafters," 1 am interested to find
many evidences like this of the gifts by
missionaries to their own work. have met
at least one wealthy man who supports
himself and contributes to his mission be-
sides. Another prominent missionary is
maintained and the expenses of his work
are paid by his brother, well-known
American manufacturer.
Most of the missionaries here are Ameri-
cans and Canadians, and 1t is gratifying to
find that they seem still to retain their
observation-disclosures. They are not fanatics.
Their attitude Is one of sober confronting
of the things as they are" They suffer
no decisions concerning their work or con-
corning the Japanese. To cite an illustra-
ton: The day of my arrival young
vincialism and dialects over here. even
among men who speak Japanese like ma
tives. IL interesting to an Observer total
stranger, helped me out of a linguistic
snarl at the post Office. Then he CROSSED
the street with me and smilingly, since you
must always bargain with a smile in this
polite land. helped me make purchase 25
per cent cheaper than the natives asking
price. The duplicity and guilefulness of the
these missionaries, who, while intensely
loyal to the Japanese, are not blind to GER
tain graver national shortcomings. The
varied difficulties which beset their own
work are frankly recognized; not all mis-
sionary meetings hear reports as temperate
and discriminating as are made by the
workers here.
1t is only fair to the missionaries here to
say that they are a genial lot of people,
the other Europeans spirit of comrade-
ship that is really delightful. They are an
wholesome folk, whose per-
sonal character is beyond praise, whatever
fault may be found with their mission or
their methods.

CAPT. VALIANT TALK
AT LOCAL MISSION

In his lecture at the Homeward Bound
Mission Friday night Capt. Theodore VAL
liant, who is known as the lecturng evan
gelist, spoke earnestly of the Personal
Accountability of Man" There was an
apprectative audience present and 1t was
stated that the Friday evening lectures of
Capt Valiant have attracted much atten-
ton In religious circles on account of their
forcefulness.
Mans personal accountability is a sub
ject that is not duly weighed he began.
Men resort to all sorts of tricks, subter-
fuges and pretenses to shift it, and yet in
spite of everything IL comes back to them
and they must assume it, We see those
who endeavor to hide their sins behind the
wrongdoings of other men. Paul shows
clearly that man is inexcusable who
Judges another, because wherein he judges
another he condemns himself. If he knows
how another man ought to live, he cannot
be insensible to his own duty. The stand
ard that he requires of the other is the
standard that consistency requires him to
maintain.
Men seek to excuse themselves from
the discharge of Christian duties They
plead all kinds OF pretexts in extenuation
sion may excuse them and bear with them.
God himself may not distress them with
overtures to do their duty. But they are
not excused.
Fidelity to the smaller things at hand"
concluded Capt. Valiant, fit and qualify
a man to master the greater things that lie
further on. The law of personal response
bility weighs on us everywhere. We can
not escape IL any more than We can es-
cape the air We breathe or the life we live.
Let no man therefore assume that he can
liberate himself from the duties of his life
and be exempt from its penalty
The lecture was preceded by the singing
of the hymn, mo, Never Alone" There
was prayer by Mrs. Commander Haslam,
a solo by Miss Katie Wells. duet by Miss
Wells and Lieut.. Haslam, testimonies, the
lesson by Miss Wells and the closing prayer

IRISH CHURCHMEN
TO LEARN GAELIC

Gaelic is to be introduced in one of the
Catholic churches In Washington today
The innovation will be made at the Church
of the Immaculate Conception at 7:3O this
evening. A Gaelic catechism class will be
held. Many of the members of the congre-
CATION are Irish Catholics and a few Of the
older ones already know the language, but
the class will be language class as much
as 1t is one In religious instruction. Father
MARI, the pastor of the church, is willing
to give all of his young people a chance to
pick up the national language of Ireland.
A special teacher will be furnished for the
class by the local branch of the Gaelic
League. of which James D. Flynn is the
president. The league has been in existence
for about three years. and holds semi-week-
ly meetings at Carroll Institute. Its ses-
sions are of a literary character. The insti-
tuition of the catechism class will be the
first time that the language has been used
in any Of the churches. of Washington.
There are already similar classes in many
of the large cities, ana they have all proved
valuable in furthering the work of the
Gaelic League.

'All thoughts all passions all delights

Love is the motor that drives every hu-

up the heights of exalted nobility or may

the same craving that we seek self Hence,
in prompting our welfare we would follow
the way that tends most to perfection, and
our divine Savior points out as that way
the love of neighbor. If the love of God
expands and develops the higher faculties
within us and all but makes divine those
who heed it's impulses, so the love of

what is noblest In mans nature.
