Some of these republics" said the
president, have prospered greatly;
but there are certain ones that have
Jagged far behind, that still continue
in condition of material poverty. of
social and political unrest and con-
fusion. Without exception the repub-
lies of the former class are those
in which honest industry has been
assured of reward and protection:
those where cordial welcome has been
extended to the kind of enterprise
which benefits the whole country.
while incidentally, as is right and
proper, giving substantial rewards to
those who manifest it. On the other
hand, the poor and backward repub-
lies, the republics in which the lot of
the average citizen is least desirable,
and the lot of the laboring man worst
of all, are precisely those republics in
which industry has been killed be-
cause wealth exposed its owner to
spoliation. To these communities
foreign capital now rarely comes, be-
cause it has been found important as
envy end hostility toward honest bust
ness men, toward honest men of
means; this is the Encouragement of
dishonest business men, the war upon
the chicanery and wrongdoing which
are peculiarly repulsive, peculiarly
noxious, when exhibited by men who
have no excuse of want, of poverty,
of ignorance, for their crimes Men
of means, and above all men of great
wealth, can exist in safety under the
peaceful protection of the state, only
in orderly societies, where liberty
manifests itself through and under
the law"
Memorial Is Work of Art.
Canton, o. The Mckinley maui
solemn stands on an eminence to
which has been given the name of
Monument hill, about two miles due
west of the Mckinley home in the city
of Canton. 1t is not an ornate affair,
but it's simplicity is relieved by insult
ficient artistic embellishments to make
it an object of beauty, as we'll as one
of massive proportions and breadth of
design.
Four states have contributed
share of the material which has been
used in the building of the memorial.
The granite used in the approaches
and the mausoleum proper is from the
quarries of Milford, Mass. Tennessee
has furnished the gray marble for the
interior of the tomb, while the sar-
cophagi which now hold the bronze
caskets in which lie the bodies of
President and Mrs. Mckinley are of
dark green granite from Windsor, VT.
The base upon which the sarcophagi
rest is black granite from Berlin, Wis.
Total Height 1853 Feet Inches.
From the first step of the approach
to the memorial to the actual top of
the structure is 1913 feet 6 inches, the
mausoleum itself being SO feet 6
inches high above the summit of the
mound The top Of the dome has an
oculus Is feet in diameter, through
which comes a softened light, which
adds greatly to the beauty of the in
terror.
The mausoleum is 78 feet inches
in diameter In the center of the floor
beneath the dome stand the sar-
cophagi containing the bodies of the

thoughtful kindness toward every
human being, great or small, lofty or
humble, with whom he was brought
in contact, which SO endeared him to
our people. He had to grapple with
more serious and complex problems
than any president since Lincoln, and
yet, while meeting every demand of
craftsmanship, he continued to live a
beautiful and touching family life, a
life very healthy for this nation to see
in its foremost citizen; and now the
woman who walked in the shadow
ever after his death, the wife to whom
his loss was d calamity more crushing
than it could be to any other human
being, lies beside him here in the
same sepulcher.
Appropriateness of Inscription.
There is singular appropriateness
in the inscription on his monument.
Mr.. COrtelyou, whose relations with
him were of such close intimacy, gives
me the following information about it:
On the presidents trip to the Pacific
slope in the spring of 1901 President
Wheeler of the University of
California conferred the degree of
LID. upon him in words SO
well chosen that they struck the fas-
tidious taste of John Hay, then Sec
rotary of State, who wrote and asked
for copy of them from President
Wheeler On the receipt of this copy
he sent the following letter to Presi-
nH4IZ til 10Rk saI1
seems filled with a strange and I'M
conscious prescience:
Dear Mr.. President:
President Wheeler sent me the in
closed request. You will have the
words in more permanent shape. They
seem to me remarkably chosen, and
stately and dignified enough to serve
long hence, please God-as your
epitaph.
Yours faithfully
JOHN HAY.
University of California.
Office of the President.
"By authority vested in me by the
regents of the University of Califor-
MIA, I confer the degree of Doctor of
Laws upon William Mckinley, Presi-
dent of the United States, states
man singularly gifted to unite the dis
cordant forces of the Government and
mold the diverse purposes of men to-
ward progressive and salutary action,
a magistrate whose poise of judgment
has been tested and vindicated in a
succession of national emergencies;
good citizen, brave soldier, wise exec
utive, helper and leader of men, exem-
plar to his people of the virtues that
build and conserve the state, society,
and the home.

PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD.
BY Rev. H. R. Farm

l..
Text-Iuke 20 :9-19.
There is no being whose claims are
so little understood by men as the
claims of God. When the conduct of
parable, we can see better its ingrati-
tude and treachery. Everyone will add
nit that the Lord of the vineyard had
a right to demand its fruits. And God
has a right to our obedience and our
love- TO him we owe all We enjoy,
and the very power of enjoyment comes
from him.
Christians who look back on their
days of rebellion perceive that they
were fast growing from bad to worse.
There was some fear of evil in early
youth, which was lost as they grew
older in sin. When the Savior had
concluded his parable, he declared the
punishment the lord would infllct on
the husbandmen. He will come and
destroy these husbandmen, and shall
give the vineyard to others" Now
this prophecy was intended as a warn
ing TO the Jews, who had prosecuted
Gods servants the prophets, and who
were now plotting the death of the
Son OF God. The people understood
that this warning was for them. If
they had been as anxious to avoid sin
as they were to avoid suffering, they
would have escaped this punishment.
Jesus now changed the figure from a
vineyard to building, and he quoted,
THE stone which the builders rejected,
the same Is become the head of the
corner" These words are full of
severity and awful foreboding for all
the rejecters of Christ He was the
Stone given by God as sure founda-
ton upon which we might build. But
we can spurn and reject this Stone, but
it Is TO our own hurt. He is either the
Rock on which we build or else he is
"a Stone of stumbling" 1T shall
grind him to powder" The blessed
Savior, who might, like a stone be a
support and defense, will become, If
we refuse to believe in him, the lnstru-
ment of our destruction.
These Jews were rejecting builders
upon whom. after few years of
grace, THE Stone" fell and ground to
powder Away in a lonely Highland
valley there lies q huge rock that has
faiio14 from the face OF a tall black
cliff. A shepherd was passing beneath
it, and suddenly. when the figure of
Gods will touched 1t, it came down,
leaping and bounding, and 1t fell; and
the man that was beneath It Is there
now, ground TO powder" That is
Christ's illustration of his rejecters.
Make him the foundation on which you
build, and you will be safe.
