DEARTH OF MEN
FOR THE MINISTRY
Discouraging Report by the Board of
Education to the Presbyterian
General Assembly.

Columbus, Ohio.-In it's report to
the Presbyterian General Assembly
the Board of Education said:
The board has been made aware
that its solicitude over the present
period of decline in the number and
quality of candidates presenting
themselves for the gospel ministry is
shared by the boards of education of
other denominations.
Word has come from the Episco-
pal, Methodist and Lutheran bodies
that the falling off, so noticeable a
few years ago, is beginning to have
its direct effect on the church.
Dissatisfaction is felt in many
quarters over the inability of the
churches to secure the highest type
of consecrated manhood for the min
istry.
Pulpit vacancies for distressingly
long periods are more and more no.
ticeable, and complaints are heard
from committees on pulpit supply as
to their inability to fill satisfactorily
the places of those who are dropping
from the ranks of the ministry.
ut is with grave concern that the
church at large should know the facts
tuctC 1A~tAll Cy 6NduSSllCdI tuSOlOSlCdl
seminaries in our country the church
is about 400 men short of the num-
Der studying ten years ago. despite
the country's increase of 100000
in population.
There are one-third less men stu
dying for the ministry of the Presby-
terrain church than ten years ago, and
yet the membership of our branch of
the Presbyterian church has increased
during that period from 1,024,000 to
100000.
Ten years ago there was one can
didate for every $40 church mem
bers, to-day there is one candidate
for every 1910 members.
''Is it not therefore incumbent upon
the church to engage in importunate
prayer in behalf of the sons of the
church, that more of them may be
led to turn deaf ear to the solicita-
lions of commercially prosperous
age, and to consecrate their talent to
thefwork of the ministry"

DIR. Aked on Newspapers.


DR.. Charles F. Aked's second SER
mon in the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, Rockefeller church, in New
York City, was listened to by an au-
dience which crowded the auditorium.
DR.. Aked denounced the sensational
newspapers in an address which was
devoted to discussion of the right
and the wrong sorts of curiosity. 1t
was based on the incident of Moses
and the burning bush.
Socrates was such a prying fell
low, so solicitous of other peoples
business, that is is no wonder that
the Athenians killed him. Now, no
man, much less myself, will want to
break lance for ignorance. But
there is good curiosity and cheap
and worthless one. With the world
so full of marvels, of good, of deeply
interesting things, we make a great
mistake not to direct our attention.
our curiosity, to all this, instead Of
to the merely trifling.
~ "There is much interest in the
trif1ing. In fact, those of our news.
papers which are filed with the least
useful and worthy matter are the very
ones which have the largest circula-
ton. People have an unfortunate de-
sire to know what they do not need
at all to know and what is of no use
to them. This is tragedy to me. 1t
means stagnation of the higher
faculties of mind. We should direct
our curiosity in the right direction"

Depth of Great Lakes.

Lake Superior's greatest depth is
1903 feet, Michigan's S64, Huron's
$40, Fries 204, Ontarios 1888. The
bottom of Superior is 401 feet below
sea level, of Michigan 283, Of Ontario
491 feet. The bottom of Huron is
eleven feet above sea level, that of
Erie 800 feet. Ontario, the smallest
of the great lakes, is relatively the
deepest. If these bodies of water
could be drained the basin of Ontario
would present striking contours as
compared with the basins of the
much larger lakes.

inquiry the physician is met with. ]
do not hesitate to say that in my
Judgment, a large percentage of dis
ease is caused by poorly selected and
Improperly prepared food. My per-
sonal experience with the fully-cooked
food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables
me to speak freely of its merits.
"From overwork, suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation
of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last

sonally with the new food, which

symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-

erly carried out and / again slept as

II look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no one can gainsay but
that it has most prominent place in

Era of Great Strikes Passing.

Washington, D. According to
Carroll D. Wright, who was commits
sioner of labor for number of years,
and is now president of Worcester
University, the era of great strikes
is passing away. In the place of in
dustrial strikes the Cancellation plan
is being adopted.
In an interview here Mr.. Wright
says the tendency is against the great
strikes which were numerous from
the early seventies onward. He be-
lieves the tendency is against them
more strongly than it has ever been
in recent years, but that they served
an effective purpose-that of teach
ing capital what labor wanted and
teaching labor more about capital
The effect of such strikes was loss
both to employers and employed.
Mr.. Wright contends that while lit
tie is heard of it, all over the country
employers and laborers are getting
together in a spirit of Cancellation.
Greater efficiency on the part of
the man who has an industrial duty
to perform is another tendency of
the times noted by Mr.. Wright.

SAN FRANcIsCo's IDLE ARMY.
More Than 10000 Workers Losing
$4,000 in Wages Weekly.

San Francisco. The street car
mems strike has dragged along all
the week with no material change.
Every day the United Railroads has
sent out few more cars and oper-
ated new lines until now cars are run
over more than three-quarters of the
lines.
The company has about 500 men
employed, which permits the opera
ton of only about one-third the usual
number of cars. Service is also
stopped at O'Clock at night because
of the fear of accidents. Every day
is marked by petty assaults on non
union car men, by the throwing of
bricks and stones at cars in certain
districts and by the insults of union
sympathizers.
Governor Gillett is ready to call
out the militia if he regards it neces-
sary, but no serious rioting has oc-
Cured. The fear of insult or assault
deters thousands from riding on the
cars. The car mems and other
strikes have made 10000 idle here
and the loss of weekly wages of the
strikers amounts to 100000. Of
the unemployed out on strike 1000
are car men, $4,000 ironworkers,
1900 laundrymen, 500 brewery work
men, 500 electricians and 500 tele-
phone girls.

San Francisco, Cal.-The Grand

charges Of bribery and attempted
bribery, and returned additional in
dictments against Abraham Ruef and
Mayor E. E. Schmitz.
Frank c. Drum, Eugene D. Saba,
John Martin, Abraham Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz were indicted on four
teen counts, each charging that they
jointly bribed fourteen of the eigh-
teen Supervisors in the sum of $3.50
each to make the gas rate eighty-five
cents for 1906, instead Of seventy-five
cents. G.. H. Umbsen, B. E. Gren,
WI. Brobeck and Ruef were indicted
on fourteen counts each, charging
that they jointly attempted to bride
fourteen Supervisors in the sum of
$1,000 each to vote trolley fran
chise to the Parkside Transit Com
pany. Judge Coffey set bail at $1,000
on each of the 1875 counts contained
in the twenty-eight indictments.
Officials of big corporations
thronged Judge Coffey's courtroom
to give bail of $560,000 so that the
indicted men may have liberty pend
ing trial on felony indictments re-
turned against them by the Grand
Jury.
Louis Glass, vice-president of the
Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and Theodore v.
Halsey, of the same concern, gave

sistant President Mulally, General

under which the United Railways
was electrified. William H. Crocker,
president of the Croker oolworth
National Bank and foremost capt.
talist of San Francisco, and President
Henry T. Scott, of the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
were in court to furnish personal bail
of 100000 for them. Arrangements,
however, had already been made with
surety company of New York,
whose attorney handed to Judge
Coffey fifty-six bonds for $4,000
each.
laayor Schmitz also gave bail for
$4,000 on indictments charging him
with accepting $4,000 bride from
TREY l.. Ford and bride of $3.50
from Frank Drum, of the San Fran
cisco Gas and Electric Company.
On the new indictments he must
give bonds for 100000 more, or
1000 in all. If he cannot do this
he will have to go to prison.
Abraham Ruef, indicted with the
United Railroads officials and Mayor
Schmitz, did not appear and offer
bail, as he is now. in custody. The
fourteen new indictments against
him make eighty-seven outstanding
against San Francisco's former polit-
ical leader.
The aggregate bail offered in the
indictments was S750,0O0.
The trial of the alleged grafters
will keep all the criminal courts here
busy for at least two years.
