in this material have awakened to the

A certain prominent minister was

orders that while he was engaged in
the preparation of his sermons his
young son must be kept reasonably
quiet. In spite of this, however,
there arose one morning most as

that the steam-heating pipes were
being knocked to pieces. Hurrying
out of his study. the minister en-

Atthe American Church Congress of

Atthe American Church Congress OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church, in
New Orleans, there was discussion
on the moral strain in Social and
Commercial Life" The Rev. H. c.
Garrett, of St. Louis, said that the
question of regulating corporate
wealth was the first source of strained
conditions and the second was the
widespread departure from the sim
pie to the artificial mode of living"
Speaking on corporate wealth, he
said cit is a remarkable fact that
nearly 100000 families in this
country average in holdings little
less than $500 each, while not over
200, 900 families possess one-half the
entire wealth of the entire country.
Out of the total annual income of
the nation one-half goes to one-tenth
of the people. The other half is dir
vided among the remaining nine

between two negroes fighting over a
woman in den at No. 2002 Railroad
avenue, in Atlantic City, John Cla-
gett, another negro, f1fty-six years
old, became the victim of a brutal
murder. Stabbed and his breast laid
open by a slash from razor, Clagett
was found in a pool of blood by the
police. An hour later Garfield Mann,
twenty-six years old, the alleged slay-
er, was captured and acknowledged
his completely. The alleged murder
er, it is said, became enraged upon
finding John Broughton in the COM
pany of Luella Davis. The latter's
screams when the two rivals clashed
brought Clagett to the scene, where
he met his death, the police say, at
the hands of Mann. Mann is in jail,
and the woman and her companion
are held as accessories.

The Craze For Speculation in Mine.


1t is now coming to be realized
that the real estate boom in certain
quar- .ers has been overdone, and at
tention is now being turned to the
subtle attractions of mining secur-
tiles, for unquestionably the get-rich
quick disease has overtaken high and
low. These attractions have been
blazoned from Alaska to Maine. from
Canada to Mexico. More than justice
has been done to the Importance of
recent discoveries of precious metals;

false, yet calculated to hypnotic the
ignorant, have been scattered broad
cast from end to end of the hemis-
phere; thieving promoter" have
been sold space by the page in news

bility, and have by this means cheat
ed millions of women and men; and,
lastly, certain brokers are not exer-
cising the influence they admit would
be proper to discourage this per-
nicious species of gambling.

unsavory aspect of the boom by stol-
idly refusing to do anything itself to

More Blessed.

Il have showed you all things, how
that so laboring ye ought to support
the weak, and to remember the words
of the Lord Jesus, how He said, it is
more blessed to give than to receive"
(Acts 20:35). The worlds principle
is that it is the most blessed thing in
the world to receive, and to keep that
which we have. The principles of
heaven works on exactly the opposite
principle from that of the ruler of
this world.
1t is a wonderful thing that this
saying, though not recorded in the
gospels by any of the evangelists,
was thought worthy of record by
Luke, who received it from the apos-
tie Paul. This was the controlling
principle of the life of Jesus, also Of
the life of the apostle Paul, who fol-
lowed Jesus. 1t will be the control
ling principle of every one who is
Christian. We receive but to give,
and the greatest joy in this world is
to give. The greatest blessing comes
in giving
My dear brother, do you know that
one reason why your spiritual exper-
ience is not clear and bright may be
that you do not give as is your privil-
ege? What blessing would come
to many who read this article if they
were to give until it became real
sacrifice! During the week of prayer
just past you may have had your
heart drawn out in longing for the
blessing Of God, and yet it may be
that you are closing the channel to
Gods blessing by not giving what
God has given you.
There are many calls. A blessing
is in every one for those who give,
and not only give. but sacrifice to
give. Some one who reads this arti-
Gle could easily give $1,000 and more
to the various funds appealing for
aid, and it would be great blessing
and joy to him. Others could give,
by little effort, one-half that
amount, and there are many who
gead this article who can give $500.
MY brother, my sister, you know
whether you can do this. He who
gives will in return receive a greater
blessing than hewould were some one
to make him a present of that same
amount nt.-Review and Herald
