Why Business Men Help.

Business men are finding out that
sterling manhood is the most desirable
commodity in connection with all en-
terprises, and the demand for it is
much beyond the supply. The Young
Mems Christian Association has
from the first had for its aim "the ex-
tension of the Kingdom of Jesus
Christ among young men," Every
body recognizes that such an aim must
result in the highest type of charac-
ter, and the funds for the making of
manhood have been readily furnish
ed as people have seen the Associa-
tons of late years saying "this ona
thing l do"-and doing it. People are
willing to invest money for the equip
ment and support of the properly
managed Young Mems Christion AS
ISOLATION when they understand that
the young man is at the center of all
problems-social, civic and religiouss
that his regeneration is the solution
of them; and that the Association
the only agency of the churches stand
ing with open doors and the helping
hand, day and night, continually-is
evangelizing him and building up
his character

Prof. McMickie passes lightly over the
theory of many brother scientists that
the Garden Of Eden was a myth, and is
absolutely positive that on the farm wit
be found the ruins of a magnificent
temple, the doors of which are OF pure
gold.
He has not visited the spot in person,

which leaves 10 way open TO a solution.
The Vatican still Clings to the hope
Of final triumph. but this is now consid-

His main consolation, he says, is the
vitality of Catholicism in France and the

the Great Lakes had once been the
scene of bloody battles between the
two nations.

want all over the world at large-a pO-
