cial outlook. That can best be de-
scribed as frankly American. He is
too sensible of the value of his posi-.
ton as man of wealth to underes-
innate its possibilities. He mixes
easily in society, entertains on a gen
erous scale, with an eye to the ele-
sancies so easily within his reach. but
he enjoys most the company of the
gifted, the genial and the witty. for he
rather leans to saying good things
himself and is never happier than
when he applauds smart saying or a
good story. A quiet game of cards
for the love of the game in congenial
company is his occasional pastime
He has never developed the fondness
for field games that pleased him in
his youth. He has taken easily to the
automobile, but, like all good sons of
the saltwater his liking for the sea
has grown with the years.
At Home on His Yacht.
Nowhere is he perhaps more genial
ly at home than on his yacht. No
hurry that sends men to express
trains is allowed to interfere with his
yachting runs to Fairhaven. Hence
the Kanawha is about as well known
as Mr. Morgan's Corsair around the
waters of New York But it is in
Fairhaven itself that he fairly revels
in life as he thinks he would like to
live it. There he was born and
reared, and his affection for the town
and the bay and the country road is
eXtravagant in its manifestations

GOVERNMENT R. R. REGULATION

The Redtield Journal-Obscrvcr
has the following to say about the
regulation of railroads under the
law recently passed by Congress-.
The Press has a faint kind of an
idea that there is one class of cor
poratlons-"common carriers
which should have liberty extend
ed to them. free and u%nfcttered.'
a law governing railroads is not
necessarily in conflict with this
idea.
IAN interesting feature of the
railroad rate situation was made
public by the Interstate commerce
commission thus week, when it was
announced that the Canadian 9ov-
eminent had decided to adopt the
system of railroad bookkeeping
and accounting approved by the
United States, and thus have II
.tt+ff the
whole of this continent.
1.-The system will 20 into
effect ON july first of this year. 1t
provides for the books that shall
be kept by the railroads, showing
the items of receipts and eXpcn-
dltnrcs, the disbursements for op-
Grating expenses, including leases,
betterment and depreciation of
property. The law further pro-
vides that not only shall this set of
books be kept, but that none 9th
ers shall be kept, SO that the whole
of the railroads finances will be
open to government inspection
just as much as the accounts of a
national bank are to the bank ex-
aminers of the treasury.
''This is as it should be. The
railroads ire public service corpo-
rations. and the people have Il
right to know just how they stand
financially. If their financial
transactions are all open and
above-board, there will not be
much need to bother about govern
ment ownership or further gov
eminent control. Public opinion
will do all that is necessary in the
way of keeping them straight"

MANS OLDEST INSTRUMENT

The hammer, besides being a
tool of universal use, is probably
the oldest representative of a me-
chanic's tool kit. The hammer
was originally a stone fastened to
a handle with thongs, and it was
as useful as q weapon as u tool.
Hammers are represented on the
monuments of Egypt twenty CEN
turtles before our era They great
~ resemble the hammer now in
use, save that there were no claws
on the back for the extraction of
nails. Claw banners were in

Middle Ages. Illuminated manu-

That the Son of man hath power
on earth to forgive sin is evidence
ed by the simple fact that man is
able, in the divine strength, to re-
forom the evils of his life. As
we succeed, little by little, in put
ting them away, so do we attain
little by little unto the blesfedness
of divine forgiveness. We mar
know then that we are fargiven,
as we are enabled to do better.
This is a sign of forgiveness; this
is the sure proof of its presents.
What greater satisfaction can we
ask than this, knowing that the
Lord will grant forgiveness unto
all that seek it., having before us
the definite way for the attain
ment of its blessedness, and the
sure sign of its accomplishment?
In our spiritual inactivity, we arc
all on the bed sick of the palsy;
and to all of us who would be for
given our sins, the Lord saws.

unto thy house."-[C. H. Mann.

INFLUENCE OF THE BIBLE

The influence of the Bible stamps
it as supernatural and divine. 1t

1t has civilized the nations that
have accepted it. 1t is the secret
of the greatness and power of the
Protestant nations. 1t goes into

the cannibals of the Fiji Islands
are transformed into gentle Chris
tlans; the savage Indian becomes
IL peaceable disciple of Christ; the
selfish Chinaman develops into u
heroic martyr, and the degraded
African rises into the noblest type
of manhood. The polygamist
gives up his wives, and the sorce-
rer gives up his superstitions,
thousands of men and women be.
come outcasts from their homes
and often martyrs for their faith,
and the whole phase of human So
cicty is stamped with the uplift-
ing impress and the heavenly in
tlucnce of tho Book of God. The
sceptic finds himself travelling in
some wild frontier town, and lies
down at night to sleep with rude
forms around him, wondering if
his life and property are safe, but

shelf, he sees the little company
gather together with tho closing
day and kneel in prayer, and he
