Two plucky young American wom-

tave Woodward, Of Rockford, H.,
have arrived at the City OF Mexico
from successful! ascent Of Popocata-
petl volcano. They made the DANCE
GUS trip without the aid OF guides,
and are the first foreigners, either
men or women, to accomplish this
feat.
The weather was serere on the
summit of the mountain and tho
other members OF tho patty and the
guides declined to make the ascent
on account OF the risk that would be
incurred. The Misses Eiy and Wood
ward went on alone. and after several
hours OF hard work and many thrill
ing experiences they reached the
crest Of the crater OF the volcano.
D. this time the snowstorm which
had Wlirled about them during their
ascent had given way to clear skies,
and they obtained a magnificent view

RTIsta 70 reEuIaIe morals 70 Supply
a means for social intercourse, to
gather a crowd. That Is In no sense
70 minimize the importance, the place
and the work Of the churcn as
mentor and purifier OF morals q MN
lister to the social necessities OF men,
q gatherer Of men for the purpose
of supplying that verve that comes
simply and solely because we are a
crowd filled with the same desires
and adoring the same LORD. For
we must direct conduct and meet the
needs of man as a social animal ana
recognize the value and the IN
fluence of the crowd.
But the call Of God first to his
church is that she shall be expert
enced in the knowledge of those In
effable and spiritual truths out or
which spring the impulses that make
for a godly ethics, consecrated So
ciety, a spirit-moved crowd, IN sucn
measure and manner that she snail
be able to declare, delineate ana re-
veal to men with compelling power
that wisdom of the saving Father to
know which and whom is life eternal.
That is to say that the call OF the
church first--and all the time-is TO
be a spiritual evangel.
Orr duty is to be true to this call.
To live to this work. To cleave TO
this program. To plan after this pat
tern, TO exalt this as our ideal. Let
us stand fast persistently in ana LOT
this, rather than pat upon our past.
Let us strive together for this rather
than among ourselves. Let us nave
the spirit of helpfulness rather than
of laziness, and faith In God ana III
the power of His truth.
Let us be in nothing scared by our
adyersaries. We have been. sin
makes a brave show. We have taken
to our heels, as it were, often at It's
approach. We have had an unreas-
oning terror Of its power. And we
have chronically overrated its ability
TO heat us. But we have no more
reason to be scared by sin than
child has to be frightened by .Hck-
in-theboX.
The church can put sin to rout
when it gets into right relationships
with deity and into the proper sort OF
fighting clothes, or else God, who can
not lie, nrevarcates. He says we can
do It. He promises to enable us. He
demonstrates the method. He pro-
vides the stone and the sling, the
helmet, the breastplatc, the armor'
the two-cdged flaming sword OF Ills
own consuming truth. Either we can
or we cannot. If we can we ought.
And we can if we will.
For one, believe that sin, unlike
Achilles. is vulnerable at every
point. We have but to hit with the
right weapons end hard TO supuue
it, For sin is a hulking, rotten mon
ster to whom we need be in bondage
no longer than we desire-thanks TO
the grace and the potency of Goa:
And this is the call of God that
we shall be true to the spiritual mis-,
sion for which we are endowed ana
that we shall fight sin foarlcSs!V 10
I finish. May we be true thereto.

How To StoD 4 Nose Bleed.

When the bellboy responded to the
signal he found the elderly travelling
man standing in the centre of the
room holding a handkerchief to his
nose, from which the blood was oo2-
ing,
Give me a slap alongside the head,
good and hard" said the elderly
man, turning his face toward the boy
and speaking with difficulty.
"But sir, don't know what you
mean, sir" stammered the boy, back
ing toward the door.
Don't stop to talk" sputtered the
travelling man. SLAP me, tell you,'
again holding his head forward. The
boy hesitated for moment, then
timidly slapped the mans face.
"Harder!" commanded the smitten
one. The boy hestated no longer
but with his open palm dealt the
man a vigorous blow.
That's BETTER" grunted the CORY
one as he removed the handkerchief
and after test found the bleeding
had stopped. I'm subject to these
attacks of nose bleed" he explained
to the astonished youth, handing him
a tip. II have tried all sorts of RENE
dies, but nothing acts more promptly
than a blow alongside the head. The
shock seems to paralyZe the ruptured
blood vessels and they quit work at

A RcinVcStnncnt.

A Missouri man tells of an irish
man named Coughlin, who lived in a
shanty standing in a field near the
main highway from Kansas City. The
foundations of the shanty were lower
than the road, through which ran a
big water main. AS the living floor
of the place was raised on posts to
make it level with the highway, it
left large cellar underneath, where
Coughlin kept a dozen hens.
One day the water main burst,
flooding the cellar and drowning the
hens. Whereupon Coughlin took
steps to enter a claim for damages
against the city. After much delay
influential friends succeeded in Sc
curing the sum of $25 in settlement
of Coughln's claim.
1--WE got me money" shouted the
Irishman to neighbor sitting on the
steps of the next shauty.
Its glad that | am to hear thOt, "

it, Coughlin?"
"Twinty-foive dollars"

Fought For % Years.

Jacob Maurer and his wife, OF
Zurich, were described recently by a
Judge as the most curious couple in
Switzerland" when he sentenced the
husband to six months imprisonment.
They had married in 1880--both
are of powerful physique-and had
fist fights almost daily for % years.
In 1903 the wife got a divorce, but
in IS months the two met by chance
and married again. The wedding
breakfast, however, ended in fight,
but the couple stayed together in the
old way, sometimes the husband and
sometimes the wife winning the days
fight.
Some months ago the wife took
$1,000 and fled from the house. The
husband pursued her, beat her and
flung her into a river. but she was
rescued At the trial she pleaded
leniency for her husband, and burst
into tears when she heard the SEN

Those persons who have been Civ

matter of a record for deaths from
heart disease will get a shock, now
the figures of other cities have been

ton losing losing its citizens at the
rate of more than 5000 year from
this dread disease, a greater per-
ccntage than Manhattan.
DR.. George +. Shrady, in explain
ing the Now York increase over past
years, made the following remark:
thine is money, and overtime
means riches, sickness and death.
"A man cannot chase dollars all
day and pleasure all night without
paying a high toll" recently said Dr.
Beverly Robinson, famous as a heart
specialist and this toll is paid from
his heart"
DR.. Thomas Darlington, health
commissioner of New York, when
asked for his idea of what caused
this years increase in death from
weak hearts, said:
Let the public judge. We supply
the figures. There isn't any change
in the disease itself. Twenty years
ago the diagnosis was just as cor
rect as it is today. If the disease
remains the same the figures have
risen. Form your own conclusion.
I've no theory to advance that isn't
