Fearful and wonderful are the
ways OF frugal and industrious wom-
ankind. They will seize on the most
unlikely objects, such as empty tins
or frying pans, and with infinite toll
and patience turn these dubious arti-

home. English dispatches say that

The goth anniversary OF the found
Ing Of the immigrant girls home OF
East Boston was celebrated recently
and music, i'm Park street church yes
try, by he New England branch of the
WOman's home missionary society OF
the Methodist Episcopal church. The
chief guest and speaker was Frank T.
Sargent. commissioner general of inn
migration, from Washington.
Mrs Il. n. Taylor, president of the
branch presided with grace. Commits
sioner Sargent spoke on some of the
problems Of the immigration question
telling incidentally OF some of the re-
forms that have been introduced into
the service Of his department during
the present administration, such as
rocking chairs for elderly immigrants
and flower patches and Fairgrounds or
playrooms for immigrant children, at
the immigrant station in New York
He also told of the government bu-
reau of information, which issues lit
erature in all languages, for the bene-
III OF immigrants, telling them how to
get farming land, how to secure en-
ployment, etc. He said that recently
more than 1000 immigrants have been
furnished with employment. largely OF
an agricultural character, in response
to applications for help from employ
ers.
The commissioner urged that all who
regard the immigrant with humane
sentiments work increasingly TO get
congress to provide an adequate and
comfortable immigration station for
this city, in place OF the present inef-
flcient one. He ridiculed the idea of
immigration being restricted. saying
that no laws Of that sort could ever be
enforced against the bonds that prompt
parents or other near relatives TO
come here to join those who have
come here before them.
He strongly advocated the beginning
of pet plan of his own here in Bos-
ton. which is that people who can af-
ford IL shall provide small. neat. sani-
tary dwellings i'm the suburbs. with a
plot of land sufficient TO afford plenty
of air and a little garden, and that
the lot OF the immigrant be made at
tractive by giving him the use OF such
houses for reasonably low rent. thus
getting him away from the evils of the
city tenement house.

rangements for an open-air meeting in
Washington that night.
I'VE want the enthusiastic Christians in
that parade If you go to a base ball
game or foot ball match you yell and
fairly rend the sky. But when it comes to
religion, it is the habit to use soft, mushy
words. l want to be just as enthusiastic
over my religion-yeS more enthusiastic
because I have more at stake. We want
that feeling in the parade.
Then, besides the midnight march, we
are going to have meeting for young
people Friday afternoon in Convention
Hall. That will be for young people be-
tween the ages of ten and twenty years.

lieye in preaching to the little children,
but l limited the meeting to those over
ten years of age to prevent some critic
from saying that We were trying to play
on the emotions of little children. When
l talk to those young people l will speak
as If l were talking to people fifty or six
ty years old. because the young people
have more sense than is generally credited
to them.
Next Saturday there will be a meeting
for colored people in the Metropolitan a.
NJ. f. Church. The pastor was here a
few days ago. and he thought there ought
to be at least one meeting for the colored
people, and so | am going TO give up my
holiday to speak to them.
I'VE are going to have great results
next week" he remarked in conclusion
with conviction in every tone of his voice
and every line Of his face.

BOYS BRIGADE NOTES.

1t is expected that in the first part of
November the new uniform outline of re-
ligious work for the companies will be
ready and will be put into operation, re-
curing the pursuance of an equal amount
of study in all brigade companies The
plan contemplates periodical inspections
of this work by the chaplain similar to
the military inspections by the military
officers.
Promotions are in order in Company G.
of Waugh Church. First Lieut.. Frank l..
Weaver and Second Lieut.. W. c. Rath-
bone are slated for captain and first lieu
tenant respectively, and an enlisted mem
Der, Sergt. Sherry. will be examined by
the division examining board for the
commission of second lieutenant.
A plan Is on foot for a new company
of which the military feature will be its
organization as a battery of artillery
with one or two small field pieces 1t is
expected that many boys will join the
artillery. there being no other battery in
this division.
officers from national and division
headquarters will tonight install Com
pany l at the Brookland NJ. +. Church
as chartered company of the United
Boys. Brigades of America. The regular
BOYS Brigade installation service will be
used. This ceremony Is both interesting
and Instructive. andia large number of
friends OF the members and of the brigade
are expected to be present The mem
bers of the company to receive commits
sions are Capt. Ralph Hospital, First
Lieut. John II. Lynch and Second Lieut.
Herbert L. Rider. The pastor of the
church. Rev Edgar Cordell Powers. is
commandant of the company.
There are now several vacancies on the
commissioned officers list which the di-
vision officers desire to fill as quickly as
possible to relieve a number of officers

duties. and with the increase in the num-
Der of companies new Offices will he

general order soon to be published atten-
ton will be called to this fact in order
that applications for the commissions
may be made.
A ladies' auxiliary society for this d.
vision Is soon to be organized under the
leadership of several ladies who are much
interested In the Boys BrigaGes. Many
other divisions have auxiliaries which
give valuable aid to the work, and fire.
duently the individual companies have
their local auxiliaries. 1t is. therefore.

the better to qualify him for the life of
freeman, that he should be ready for
the great task when it came. And our
own Lowell sees that great truth when
he urges us:
In life's small things be resolute and great
To keep thy muscle trained. know'st thou when
Thy measure takes or when she'll say to thee,
Il find thee worthy, do this deed for me:
No, the condemnation of the Master is
not on the man who had no talent to in
vest. He did not criticise the man with
the ten talents that he might have made
an even more profitable investment than
he did. but the condemnation is on the
man with the one talent who weighed
things evenly that he brought himself
to absolute inaction-the man TO whom
action was not worth while. On the other
hand. it is the man who is faithful IN
little who comes to be ruler over much
The man whom the Master commends is
not only the man who does some great
task for religion, but it is the man who.
in the spirit of a disciple, in the name
of a disciple, gives cup of cold water
unto one Of these least.
And here, again, the Good Book Is not
without suggestive precedent. Naaman
it seems was afflicted with the leprosy,
and was persuaded if he came into the
presence of Elisha the prophet he should
be made a clean man. So he journeys
with all his regal train from Syria to
the home OF the man of God. lie sends
a messenger to the prophet to announce
that he has come. The prophet calls his
errand boy and says, Go tell the king S
servant to wash in Jordan seven times.
Whereupon Naaman was wroth and said,
Go wash in Jordan seven times. Is that
what | have journeyed all this distance
for? Are not ALBANIA and Pharphar. the
rivers of Damascus, better than all the
waters of this strange land? And he
turned and went away enraged. Then
one of his servants came to him ana said,
But, my lord, If the prophet had babe
thee do some great thing, wouldst thou
not have done it? How much rather
then when he saith to thee. Wash and be
clean! And it Is precisely the tempta-
ton that comes to every man-the per-
suasion of the man who always wishes
his task were other where or of another
kind If he is in Judea he spurns the
river Jordan and yearns for ALBANIA and
Pharphar, and when he is in Damascus
he equally spurns ALBANIA and Pharphar
and wishes for the holy Jordan; it is the
man who is willing to do Gods work any
where but the place where the work
ought to be done, who Is perfectly will
ing to do any task except the task which
presents itself. There. says the Master.
is the barrier between every mans acIIal
life and the life that he may live. The
future is blocked for you until the sim
plest task that knocks at your door Is
to find you ready to do 1t.
Behold, ! have given you an example,
even as we sit together at our feast.
even while we recall our heavenly origin,
our heavenly destiny. We best show our
heavenly nature when we are willing to
do the most mental task that presents it

always in danger Of having his field of
vision narrowed to single point, so that
whatever his microscope may gain in
power it loses in its field of vision. But
here is the way out-that mans thought
is to be the inference from his action. that
he is to find Christ, not by argument, but
by living the good life. We have yet to
grasp the profound philosophy Of the Mas
ter's words when He says In defense of
this high perception. IF any man willeth
to do the will he shall know the teach
ing" 1t is in vain that We reverse that
judgment and say to ourselves. We will
live the good life when we find out how
to live it; we will be religious when our
philosophy is complete; we will be Chris
tians when. we know the history of Chris
tiani.y. 1t is all In vain. The Master
says, l have given you an example. Let
your philosophy be inferred from your
life Let your light so shine that men
may see that your works are good. and so
glorify your Father who is in heaven.
There is an effective Illustration of this
in our New Testament. Peter goes up to
his housetop to pray. The vision comes to
him of the great sheet let down from
heaven by its four corners, wherein were
all manner of creeping things and fowls
Of the air. He hears the voice saying to
him, Rise, Peter, kill and eat. His an
eaten anything that is common or I'M
clean. Philosophy was knocking at the
door of that mans heart, trying to broad
en- and ChristianiZe him. but in vain. For
the record says, And while Peter was
musing in his heart what this might
mean, behold, three men stood at the door
calling for him." He leaves his vision,
goes with these three men into heather
parts Of the world and finds Cornelius,
foreigner. And he finds that Cornelius
has had the same high yearnings for God.
He answers that yearning, and in the
presence Of Cornelius and his kin, he says
to him, I'VE know that am Jew. ye know
that l keep no company with foreigners.
but God has taught me that l should not
call any man common or unclean: so
when thou didst send for me forthwith
came" That is, man Is removed from
this paralyzing balancing of things not
simply by argument or speculation or
meditation, but by action. BY doing the
will he learns the teaching.
Or, again. the Master brings home to
the only barrier between your full life
and the life that you are now living is
the small task which you refuse to do.
There are many OF US who would gladly
die for our country; but our country
wishes something smaller-it wishes US to
live for it. There are many men in the
country who would die for Christianity:
but the founder of Christianity asks a
smaller task-He wishes us to live for it.
We are perfectly willing to argue about
it. to contend for it. but the Master
wishes US to do the smaller thing as 1t
appears to US. Just live 1t, then the
greater task will come. If the world
