WHAT is FAITHg

Beautiful, sublime sweet, trusting faith!
The foundation upon which every priest and preacher
builds his future hope.
Such faith is to him the is to life upon
the earth and without it the individual existence would be
in vain.
Thought must be forever free
Faith is an always blind from volition-choice.
Faith unable gaze upon the beautiful face of nature
lest it in contact with the light Faith accepts without
examinations to know but is unable to explain
Faith implies submissive obedience to assumed authority
the greatest Of all crimes against the intellect Of man!
Faith forever knees in fear and trembling Faith
the interrogation mark swallows all without question
Faith denies knowledge and where knowledge begins faith
stops! Faith simply the privilege OF beevingl
Faith cobweb upon the brain and dms the bright

IRON DEMAND INCREASES

Cleveland, O., July 29.-(Special)- The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Developments of the past week have not been such as to justify exuberant optimism, but the trend of events is still clearly in the right direction. The statement of earnings of the United States Steel corporation reflects the slow progress from the long period of depression. Corporation pig iron stocEs are being steadily reduced. In the pis iron market New England Is still the most active section in the east.
 A leading Virginia interest is storing iron in anticipation of any advance, and is about to blow in another stack.
 The Woodward Iron company is sold up to November l on No. 2 foundr?. In the central west the transaction which is attracting most attention is the sale of from 5000 to 10000 tons to stove interests at Detroit at basis of about s16 delivered. Considerable part Renewed activity in steel bars Is re- ported in the Chicago and Cleveland districts. In the former the principal producer has about 9O,O00 tons on it's books, including one order for 15,000 tons taken this week, and in the Cleve- land district orders aggregating 50,000 tons have been placed.
 There is an increased demand for sheets and the capacity of the princi- pal producer has been increased, but in dependent interests are still cutting prices. The contract for II 900 tons Of structural steel for the 35-story office building to be erected by the Oliver. es- tate at Pittsburg has been awarded the American Bridge company which will also fabricate the 75O tons for the new History May building insi Pittsburg. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad has ordered 10000 tons of standard sec tions and the Boston and Maine 1000. tons.

A NE of the smartest of the early
fall weddings was that of Miss
y Eyangeline Kendall, daughter of
Mrs. Sidney c. Kendall, and James
Dixon Johnson of Claremont. which
occurred at the home of the brides
mother Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock.
The end of the living room had been
transformed into a bower of smilax
With a background of pepper boughs,
and partly enclosed by portieres of
smilax. Within, candles in pink shades
shed a soft glow over the pretty scene.
AT 1880 o'clock Miss Edna Roof of
Claremont sang Lyne's Sweetheart" >"
and when the last notes had almost
died away the pianist took up Ethel
bert Nevin's Venetian Love Song"
When the music was ended the bridal
party entered. First came eight young
women bearing a rope of smilax, with
which an aisle was formed. Down this
the bride passed, preceded by the maid
of honor, Miss Ethel Grensted of Long
Beach. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. c. H. Lawrence, an uncle
of the bride.
The bride looked very girlish and
sweet in her wedding gown of net over
silk, made en- traine. With it she wore
a veil of tulle which fell to the hem of
her gown. Her going away frock was
of blue silk, and she wore an automo-
bile coat of blue.
The young couple left for a ten-day
trip in Mr.. Johnson's auto. october 16
