FOR INVESTORS.

The capacity of pig-iron furnaces In
the United States has now reached
about 100000 tons a year. Experts
say the question is: Can the consump-
ton keep up with this increased ca

FEW EASTER REFLECTIONS.

A great many people went to
church Sunday-some of them in
full regalia who hadn't been there
for a year at least, and who may
not go again for another.
And yet a large proportion Of
these periodical churchgoers would
feel offended, not to say insulted,
if they were accused Of lacking the
attributes of high character and
good citizenship.
Yet there can be no question that
Dearly all Of this class felt better
and were better for having paid
this much of respect to the Church
of God. They could not but have
had their senses thrilled by the
sweet music and the beautiful
flowers, while it would be a refiec-
ton on their intellect, if not their
spiritual beings, to say that they
did not derive some benefit from
the sincere, practical and in many
instances eloquent discourses to
which they listened.
IF, then, the soul of man is up
lifted and his physical being rested
and reinvigorated by coming under
the influence of the church on one
day Ia the year, why should not
these effects be multiplied by each
experience of this sort which he
vouchsates to himself?
Why, then, does church attend
ance as a whole make so sorry a
showing between the Easter periods?
Is the fault in the church, that it
does not make its weekly service as
attractive as it's annual religious
function2
Does the blame rest on the selfish,
Indifferent, absorbed, money seek
ing or fame-hunting individual,
who fancies he can adjust his rela-
lions with his God at some future
time when he is not so busy with
mundane things?
Or can the responsibility be
divided between the two?
