The Baron speck Won Sternburg recently
delivered an address before the chamber
of commerce at Tampa, Fla. on Ter
many's Economic Strength" in which ne
estimated the wealth of the people or that
empire al. SOS. 900. C0o.00O and the natlonai
income at $1,000 600 Coo With popula-
ton of g., 100000. as he claims. this would
be a per capita wealth of 1852 for every
man. woman and child in Germany.
This subject has recently been discussed
with great interest in England, and Ber-
nard Mallet, commissioner of internal rev.
enue, in an address before the Royai
Statistical Society estimated the wealth.
of the United Kingdom at somewhere pe-
tween S27 800 100000 and $4,000, OCO,OOo.
Taking the mean between these two esti-
mates. the per capita wealth In England,
Scotland Wales and Ireland would be
$50 which is considerably less than that
of Germany There is q lively discussion
in the newspapers over Mr.. Mallets car
culation. some claiming a great deal more
and others great deal less. The est-
mates vary all the way from twenty-One
to seventy-three billions of dollars. The
ma jOrity of the guesserS, however, adhere
rather closely to his figures. There is no
accurate way of computing the wealth of
nation except by taking the tax assess
ments. the bank deposits and other official
records, and those only permit of an ap-
Proclamation. In England the income tax
furnishes q basis of calculation. and in
Germany the returns are even more, exact.
The bureau of statistics in Washington
estimates the total wealth of the people
of the United States at S107 1O4 ,2l1 81
and the per capita at S1.31O.11. which is
$43o per capita more than that of England
and S3:,S per capita more than that of Ger
many. This is, however. more or less
guesswork, for reasons l have stated.

Mr.. Samuel w. Curriden of this city
calls my attention to an epitaph in Holly
wood cemetery, Richmond. which is in
scribed upon a monument erected to the
memory of a brakeman on some railroad
who was killed in an accident The
monument is a shaft with IA model of a
locomotive upon it, and the epitaph reads
as follows:
I'm the crash and the fall he stood unmoved
and sacrificed his life that he might fulfill his
trusts
Until the brakes turned on time,

Extensive preparations for the interna.

way throughout the civilized world and
the series of meetings of the congress in
this city next September promise to be
among the most notable events in the his
tory of the capital of the United States,
The congress meets once in three years.
but 1t has never before assembled in this
country 1t comes to America under the
auspices of the National Associa ton for
the Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
and has the sanction of the federal gov
eminent, the United States Congress hav-
ing shown it's appreciation of the impor-
lance of the movement by the passage of
joint resolution authorizing the Depart
ment of State to ask the governments of
other countries. through their ambassa-
doris or ministers. to send representatives
to the meeting in Washington.
A comprehensive exhibition. illustrative
of the methods pursued and the results
accomplished around 4 the world in the
fight against disease. will be held in con-
nection with the congress.
Prizes for Best Showings
One of the most interesting features OF
the coming meeting is the Offering of sub
stantial cash prizes for the best showings
in various fields of endeavor in the move
ment. Altogether the cash awards will
total $1,000. divided into prizes varying
in value from 800 to 81. 800 each and be-
sides the purses there will be distributed
nearly one hundred gold and silver med
ais, some of them accompanied by diplo-
mas or certificates of award indicative
of especially meritorious offerings to the
cause in which the congress is gathered.
Some of the factors of the tuberculosis
problem that are most difficult of solution
are brought prominently to the attention
by the announcement of the prizes Offered
lin connection with the congress and
naturally. the question of sanatoria Is
among the first that challenges considera-
ton. Following the lead On the German
authorities the tendency in many sections
of this country has been to erect anC
equip sanatOria for the treatment of in.
cipfent and hopeful cases, and the claims
of the advanced cases have fallen mos,
often on ears that were deaf to the ap.
peal. The example set by England ir
providing for the unpromising cases has
had share in waking up others to thei,
responsibilities; SO it comes as a matte,
of course that one of the large prizes 8

as the Christian Sabbath. For the
prophecy regarding this change Lev
iticus xxi, 1921. is very conclusive.
One-seventh of our time belongs to
the Lord. These points belong to the
history rather than to philosophy and
have been amply discussed by many
writers, SO We shall not give them
further reference at present.
Take man in his sinful state as we
find him in every country where the
Sabbath is unknown, and it would be
impossible for him to have any con-
|ceptlon of a Holy Sabbath. Nothing
within or without him could have
suggested such an institution.
Take men in their selfish condition
and they would not have originated
an institution, or even consented to
set apart a time, which would not
only free their laborers, but give that
time to another.
Man could not have decided rightly
the proportion OF time necessary, or
have guarded the day by penalties.
for the Sabbath does not correspond
to any cycle or natural division of
time.
The Sabbath is associated with the
grandest ideas made known to man
by revelation, or possible to thought,
as the creation of the world, resur-
rectlon of Christ, outpouring OF the
spirit of rest in heaven. Therefore.
man could not have associated these
great themes and events with the
Sabbath or made it span the arch
from the beginning to the consum-
nation of all things.
The divine origin of the Sabbath is
authenticated not only as it is blend
cd with the highest ideas and interest
of man as connected with the past
and future, but also at the same time
touching at so many points. the in
terests of the present life, by its
analogy with the simple works Of
God.
Thus ike the air and water which
subserves so many uses in its plain
ard pure condition, man could not
improve upon the divine origin of the
Sabbath. Hence We say the religious
Sabbath comes to man bearing its
own credentials from the Almighty
Father Of us all.
