We would not Cor one moIaent
pose as an alarmist, nor would we
willingly strike one note of diseord
in the grand chorus of progress,
and yet there are certain dangers
which threaten, and in faithful
ness we must speak of these.
First.-The danger of 1rre1ig-
ion. "Most people can stand adj
versity better than prosperity"
In prosperous times spirit Of in
dependence is bred and men are
tempted to forget God. 1t was the
RICH MAN of the Bible, who
twas clothed in purple and fine
linen, and Jared sumptuously every
day." who forgot God and was
banished from Gods presence for
ever. 1t was the prosperous plant
er who had no gratitude to, God,
and TO whom the message came,
'"Thou fool, this night shall thy
soul be required of the" Let US
not forget that "Every good and
perfect gift eometh down from
above" and that a "man's life
consisteth not in abundance of the
things which he possesseth," and
that after all "What shall it profit
a man if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul"
Woe betide any city whose people
are so absorbed in materialism as
to neglect and forget things spirit
ual.
Right here we wish to mention a
great hindrance to religion already
existing in our community: The
Dissertation of the Sabbath by Sun
day work, and by Saturday night
work which units for worship on
the Lords day.
| Second-The danger of overdo-
| ing the thing. It's a wise maxim
"Make haste slowly" The his
tory of the world has demonstrated
that eras of unprecedented pros
perity are always followed by
eras of depression, panic, ana ad-.
versity.

New York, March 25-The new that
the forces of President Zelaya, of.
Nicaragua, had defeated the Honduran
army at Choluteea and that President
Bonilla was in digit was not cheering
news to the Central American colony
in this city. The Central Americans
suspect Zelaya of cherfshing the hope,
that some day he may be able TO es-
tablish a powerful Central American
union over which he will be the head
with the other states subsidiary. The,
opinion was expressed that President
Bonilla, who was In command of the,
Honduran forces had fed to San Lo~
renzo, which is On the main land and
thence by boat to Amapala. an island
on the Pacific. The captured town
Is only rs miles from Amapala. the
principal Honduran seaport on the Pa
cine coast which is said to be unfor-
tined. 1t is probable that the Mica
raguans will now attack Amapala,
where it is believed little or mo- re-
sfstance win be made. In case Pres
1dent Boni1fa is pursued, he can reach
LaUnlon, Salvador, in four hours.
Choluteca has been the objective
point of the Nicaraguan forces under
General Aurelia Estrada and General
ortiz since the beginning of hostili-
ties. Portillos de Namasfaue. where
the alleged Honduran and Salvadoran
forces were defeated a few days ago
IS on the frontier 80 miles from Cho-
Iuteca. The latter town is rs miles
from Tegucigalpa, the Honruran cap
1tal. The distance between the two
towns makes it seem unlikely that
Nlcaraguan expectation to capture Te-
gucigalpa Monday viii be realized.
When Informed of the news from
Managua Pho Bologanos, consul gen.
eral OF Nicaragua in this city said:
am sure that it means the end Of
the war with another victory for our
country"
