MAN FIXES OWN DESTINY
Rev. Mr.. COpp Declares Success Lies
with Each Individual.
Delivers Sermon at Bethany Chapel
ON 'sThe Door None Can Shut"
Outlines Methods of Progress.

Man, through aspiration or unbelief;
through neglect or achievement, through
Incidence OF application. fixes the bounda-
ries of his temporal as well as his eternal
destiny"
with this statement, Rev. Zed H. Copp
prefaced his remarks at Bethany Chapel
last night. on a Door that None Can
Shut" The text was from Revelations:
Behold. set before you a door. opened.
and none can shut il.
Six doors were mentioned by Rev. MIR.
Copp az open, and set before every one.
through which entrance might be OBJ
tained, with varying success, 10 the pos
sessions within. The door of wealth, OF
learning. Of social distinction. of physical
prowess. Of moral power. and Of eternal
life.
Wasteful habits. gullible investments.
and dissipated living viii nullify the open
door of wealth; while frugality. judiciQus
expenditure, and correct life viii prove
guides 10 homes, comforts, bank accounts,
stocks and bonds.
The door Of learning fails for the will
fully ignorant. the bigot, and the weak
ling, but ava'ls most efrectuaily for the
eager, the earnest and the open mind.
Social distinction and physical prowess
were treated from the standpoint OF good
citizenship. They are passed through,
said the speaker most successfully in
recognizing the duties and obligations be-
tween man and man-integral parts Of
the same state-as set forth in the Gold
en- Rule, and TO so conserve the physical
power that the individual may creditably
answer the purpose of his creation.
Moral power the speaker compared to
the Rock OF Gibraltar, which has with
stood countless ages Of ceaseless assault
by the elements. while its adjoining
heights have been battled into channel
Thus the moral man is d fortress Of
strength TO business, 10 society. 10 the
home. 10 the church, and 10 the state
while the immoral is a source Of weakness
and danger 10 all.

MUST CONQUER PHILIPPINES.
Japan Cannot Buy Islands, Accord
ing to officials Here.

Can Japan acquire control Of the Phil
ippine Islands in any way but by con-
quest? is the question that is being asked
here.
The belief in high government circles
is that it cannot. The report from Ber-
lin that the Mikado is endeavoring 10
negotiate a loan OF S50.0O0000 for the pur-
pose Of inducing the United States TO
turn the archipelago over 10 him has
created unusual interest because Of the
recent exchanges between this government
and Japan, arising out Of the treatment
of the latter's subjects by the people of
San Francisco.
Although there are few men in execu-
tive and legislative circles who do not
openly express regret that the United
states acquired the Philippines, not even
one voice can be found among the Off
cial anti-expansionist expressing the be-
lief that this government viii turn the
Philippines over to anybody bat the
FilipinOs
Uncle Sam entered the Philippines
during the progress OF a war in the In
terest Of humanity. said a high official
yesterday.

some advance over the S20,000.000 paid to
Spain. But the United States entered
upon a policy of benevolent assimilation
and will continue TO the end in preparing
the FflipinOs for government. This
may require a century
There have been enough American
lives lost 10 make the matter one of na-
tional honor. Japan's representatives
here can not possibly have misinterpreted
our attitude. and I feel free TO say that
If Japan is circulating the story abroad
that she hopes to buy the Philippines.
her motives are not of the most honor
able
Other officials believe that if Japan has
given such q reason for negotiating a
loan. # has been either for the purpose
Of concealing its motives, or with view
to creating discord in the Philippines.
1t is understood here that the FTlpinos
would fight more bitterly japanese donni-
nation than they did against Spanish con-

CALL FOR ROOSEVELT.
Mr.. Warner Thinks President SIny
Yield in 1908.

Mr.. Warner Thinks President Mny
Yield in 1908.
Brainard H Warner, Of Washington,
who, with hts family, IS spending several
weeks at MOntrose, Pa, is an enthusias-
tic Roosevelt man. He regards him as
the strongest as well as the most prom
inent Republican in the country. BY his
fairness in dealing with the illegal COM
binations and trusts. Mr.. Warner says
the President has won the friendship and
regard Of thousands who were formerly
his political enemies lie would to-day
In consequence command an immense
number of Independent and Democratic
votes as the result of the position he has
taken. He has not only promised to do,
but has done something.
I'VE have never had a President" said
Mr. Warner, ~of his literary and scho-
lasuc attainments, his yigOr and energy,
his diplomatic. military. and naval in
formation qualifications. He has worked
reforms and made Improvement in every
department Of the government. and is
still at il. The people want him contin-
ued in Office because they believe in him
and his policies. They feel that he is a
safe and sane leader He is the best
known ruler on the earth. and his great
influence Is felt and appreciated in ev-
cry quarter Of the globe. and he is still
young, with his genius and wonderful
faculty for accomplishment developing
every day"
Mr. Warner, who pays this tribute TO
the President in an interview in the Mon
trOse Republican. credits Mr.. Roosevelt
with absolute sincerity and consistency
ia resisting all proffers of support for
another term, but he says that the Presi-
dent has always been supporter of the
doctrine that a man who receives favors
and hon0rs at the hands of his fellow
eountrymen owes them q duty when they
call upon him. and if they call loud
enough he may yet be prevailed upon
to become their candidate outside of an
political considerations.
Next TO Mr. Roosevelt, Afr. Warner
thinks that Secretary Taft, "a physical
and intellectual giant" is the most avail
able man for the Presidency.
