A REWARD OF FAITH.
The Story of a Church Twice Struck
by Lightning.

A congregation in billy district in
Ohio, says the Youths Companion,
bought small tract of land and
erected church building upon it.
Then the question of insurance came
up. Mr.. Sipes, the wealthiest member,
who had contributed more than half
the money needed for the new struc-
ture, declared that he did not believe
In insurance. This is the Lords
building He'll take care of it," he
said.
His view prevailed, and there was
no insurance. In a few weeks the
building was struck by lightning and
almost totally consumed by fire. An
other one was erected, Mr.. Sipes con-
tributing the greater portion of the
fund as before. This time the demand
was almost unanimous that 1t be in
sured, but Mr.. Sipes again objected
on the same ground.
IF it burn down again, brethren"
he said, "I'll agree to rebuild it my
self"
Again he carried his point In less
than month the new church was
struck by lightning again, and al
though strenuous efforts were made
to save 1t, the loss was almost total
There must be some reason for
this, brethren" said Brother Sipes II
am going to find out what 1t is"
ThereupOn he employed a force of
men to sink shaft on the site Of
the twice destroyed church. Within
a few days a rich vein of ore was
found, and the church properry was
sold for many times the amount
needed to buy land in another locality
and build again.
81 tell you, brethren" said Brother
Sipes, at pays to trust the Lord. He's
a great deal better business manager
than anybody in this congregation"

al committee has been for some time
considering the subject, and the re-
suit of its deliberations is not yet pub
l.shed. But it is believed that the
British proposal will suggest that
each Power should agree not to in
crease its military expenditure for
the next seven years above the fig
tires of the present year, and that, in
avail expenditure, there should be a
general agreement not to build any
ships OF greater size than those at
present under construction, and that
Tor seven years shipbuilding should
be limited to renewals and repairs.
There are difficulties in the way of
adopting this proposition, difficulties
obvious to the merest tyro. But, al
tho the form of the proposal may be
varied, it is essential that the prin-
ciple should be brought before the
conference and pressed with energy
and earnestness by AL those Powers
which really desire peace and which
are not less DESTROYS of burdening
peace with this monstrous expend-
ture for ar."-Literary Digest.

BRYAN'S BIRTHDAY.

Cl0ate lot president OF the united
States, was born in Salem, ILL.,, March
10, 1860. He was taught at home by
his mother until he was 10 years old,
and he then attended the public
schools until he was IS. He studied
for two years at Whipple academy,
Jacksonville, and then entered Illinois
college, from which he was graduated
IN 1881. He studied law for two
years, and upon admission to the bar
Logan to practice in Jacksonville. In
1887 Mr.. Bryan moved to Nebraska
and soon afterward his political &C
tivities were begun. In 1890 he was
nominated for congress on platform
written by himself. In the house Of
representatives he attained his first
general distinction by speech in the
course of debate on the Wilson bill.
He was returned to congress in 1892,
and declined a third nomination two
years later In 1896 and again in 1000
Mr.. Bryan, heading the Democratic
ticket, failed of election as president.
When not engaged i'll active politics
lie has devoted most of his time to
. lccturing and to his editorial duties.
\ year ago, with his family, he made
:. trip around the world and was
everywhere cordially welcomed.
During the time Mr.. Bryan was
candidate for president, he delivered
a lot of lectures, from the proceeds
Of which he was enabled to start a
weekly newspaper. He also acquired
commission as colonel of volun-
teers. the governor of his state max
ing him the commander of the regi-
ment sent out to do battle with the
Spaniards. In company with the Tor
roy Rough Riders and few regi-
ments of infantry from the east, Col
o,nel Bryan and his command fought
several strenuous engagements with
mosquitoes and newspaper reporters
at Jacksonville, Fla.
Having accumulated considerable
money in divers ways, Colonel Bryan
bought farm. beat his sword into
pruning hook and bought plow
from a hardware store, also harrow.
Since then he has divided his time be-
tween tickling the sensitive soil, oc-
oupying the editorial tripod and de-
livering more lectures, amusing him
self between the periods of labor by
getting the delegates to the next con-
vtntion instructed for him, and I'M
seating national committeeman who
are dstasteful to him. He will be
the next nominee, if he lives-and as
he has no small vices and is good
feeder, he will live all right, all right
of the Democratic party, and he
will carry several states. especially
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Ala
bama. Arkansas and maybe Missouri.
Mr.. Bryan is a good fellow personal
". and was once supported for the
office of chief magistrate by the act
ing postmaster of Ogden, although
he never blamed the latter for his de-
fat. f. is fond of music and CHER
lin pickles, and believes in removing
the tariff from soap and corn starch.
If elected president he would doubt
less raise more real, good, old-fash-
icned hades with the federal officers
in this state than anybody, because
Henry Peery is national committee
nan, and Henry would sharpen his
