WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

II Is rumored that the several suggestions
made from time to time regarding per-
manent meeting place for the biennial of the
General Federation, of Women's Clubs are
to take definite shape at the St. Paul con-
vention and come before the house for dis
eussion. IL would be superhuous to pre-
dict that such discussion would be one
OF the most interesting that has yet come
before a biennial. Since the great growth
of the General Federation It has been diff
fcult to choose between the many cities
that invite Its conventions. and many club
women are in favor of deciding upon some
permanent splace of meeting for the board
and the conventions. Tho stronger argu-
ment seems in favor of holding the bienni-
ais In different cities. as; in the past. The
interest resulting from one of these con-
ventions IN every locality where they have
been held is OF inestinable value to club
extension and club influence and while
the inconYenlonces Incidental to tho present
plan are easily recognized the good result
ing much oHtweighs them The following

suits OF the Los Angeles biennial! and the
same serious recognition OF the value Of

of this movement that more practical and

Faultless people are usually forceIess.

The demons are all afraid of happy

The masters back shows the serv-
ants true face.
Sin may be often covered, but it is

No man ought to complain of the

This is always a good world to those

another key is to manifest the deprav-
ity Of one who would enter in as a

All discoveries have been doubters.
They have refused to accept the last
word of the stay-at-homes as to what
might be abroad. Their doubt led to
faith, a faith so strong and sublime
that it compelled them to leave ease
and face hardship, TO forsake friends
and face loneliness and hatred. Often
the bravest of all men is he who CON
fronts ancient opinion with the sword
Of an Interrogation.
The only doubts we need to dread are
those of the professional doubter, the
man who seeks darkness rather than
light, or the man who delights in erect
ing intellectual stumbling blocks that
he may show how easily he vaults them.
Sometimes it would seem as though the
religious world were divided into two
parties who hope for salvation
those who seek fame by blatantly deny
ing all things.
But between the two there is the
course of the sane man who uses the
reasoning powers he has, who doubts
all things only that he may prove them,
that good may be thrashed from bad
and worthless. To him doubt is a path
and not a terminus, method and not 4
product; he comes at last, through the
testing of doubt, to certainty, to faith
founded on facts.
The wise man leaves many perpiex-
ing problems to themselves. There are
difficulties not worth the solving, mere
matters of idle speculation, becoming
diminutiye beside real duties There
are difficulties which, when laid away,
like thangled skein, seem to unravel
themselves. Problems of history and
of speculation come to have little weight
as compared with the proving of the
daily questions of present duty.
The great thing is to find that which
is good, that which is worth holding
fast; and that Is found not by specu-
lative inquiry, but by plain doing Of
the best we know. Don't worry over
doctrines. DO the deeds of the best
life. If there are things you cannot be-
lieve, forget them; go right on with
the business Of building the life on
the things that are good, on the lines
laid down by the life that ever has
been the light of men. The practice Of

his principles. With these at base life

DOUBTS.
By Rev. Henry T. Cope.

Prove all things: hold fast that which
is good. Thes. ; :21.
He who does not doubt is damned
Intellectually and morally nothing is
possessed until it is put to the proof.
If you do not test things for yourself
they will be tested for you by adver-
sity and necessity. There is no virtue
in taking things for granted. There
is a greater reason for putting the
things of religion to the test since it is
to take the supreme place in the life.
Doubt is not disbelief; it is not re-
lection without examination Neither
should it be the habitual dwelling in 4
fog of uncertainty. 1t is inquiry and
examination; it is the mental process
through which all things must pass it
is road that leads to faith. 1t is
the attitude of mind that says: q
have been endowed with reasoning
powers; it were an irreiigious act to
refuse to use them on all things
The man who is too indolent to in
vestigate, too impoverished of intellect
to examine doctrines and PHILOSOPHERS,
to appreciate truth and eradicate error
that man finds it easy and convenient
to exercise his credulity and call it
faith. To him it is reprehensible
thing to unsettle established beliefs, for
it means that they must be carefully re-
constructed and this involves unnec-
essary labor.
If he wants peace a man would bet
ter steal a kingdom than breathe one
word against the petrified formulas of
the fathers. No offense can be greater
than that of disturbing them and caus-
ing them to do their thinking all over
again. To them their creed is a key
to unlock the gate of heaven to change
its shape in the minutest degree would
