his victory

The Rev. BILLY" Sunday was invit-
ed by the Pittsburg, Pa, ministers to
lecture before them at their weekly
meeting on why Some Ministers
Fail" Here Is one of the reasons he
gave: because many of the minis
tiers of the present day were fudge

tinually springing bum bullcon to
their congregations" The next time
the Pittsburg ministers desire to
learn what ails them they will prob
ably send for a doctor.

rAFT,s SPEECH ON GRANT.

In certain quarters there is a dis
position to make much of Secretary
Taft's address at the Grant tomb in
New York on Memorial day. The
secretary Is accused of bad taste and
harshness to the memory of Gen.
Grant because he referred to some Of
his early struggles and defeats. That
portion of the address In which Sec
rotary Taft brought out Grants
capacity for failure in his younger
days was expanded upon, while little
was shown of the secretarys conclus-
ions in which these earlier defeats
were made to show how great was
his subsequent victory.
Secretary Taft in opening his ad
dress recited some of the facts of the
early life of the man who was destined
to play such big part in the great
struggle then impending.
Grant was graduated from West
Point, and after serving creditably in
the Mexican War, resigned from the
army in 1854. Gle resigned because
he had to. He had yielded to the
weakness for strong drink" He
wandered to the Pacific coast, and
failed at Vancouver as he failed every
where and in everything. He next
lived off his father-in-law; be bor-
rowed, in fact squalid farm OF
seventy-flve acres, and made a sad
botch of farming While he was at
tempting. in half hearted and hope.
less way, to make the farm "go' he
peddled little jags Of wood to sub
stantial people in ST. Louis, for whom
he cut the wood and piled it in their
back yards. When his failure as
farmer proved decisive, he became
real estate agent, and failed at that.
He appeared to possess a supreme ca
pacity for failure. His father came to
the rescue, probably with the strong
est misgivings, and provided his poor
son with clerkshtp in the elder
Grants leather shop in Galena, III.
When the war broke out Grant, with
proper spirit, volunteered Governor
Yates appointed him to be the colonel

AN AID TO CUPID.

A Chicago pastor plans to install
counting" room in his church as an
aid to Dan Cupid The pastor, the Rev.
]. E. Snyder, is at the head of Christ
Church, Presbyterian, whose distin-
gushing feature is the preponderance
of young people in its membership.
Recently there have been a number
of marriages in the congregation,
and the list of engagements announc-
ed makes it certain that this number
will be increased greatly before the
close of June. In the elimination OF
these romances Dan Cupid has been
absolutely unaided, and the pastor be-
. lieves that Cupid should be given a
little help. Here Is the way the court
ing'' room idea was preached to the
congregation:
I'VE want a gymnasium, with places
for the basketball and baseball teams
practice. The boys of these teams
come to church right along. Then we
want place to read and rest and ar
engagements for any classes we may
decide to establish And finally we
ought to have counting room.
This is church Of young people.
1t g right that we should make ev-
cry provision for their needs as they
grow up. They should not have to
go beyond the church for any essen
tial, and place to court is an essen
tial. So why not have it?"
So just as soon as the church Sc
cures deed for the adjoining proper
ty an experiment will be placed in
operation that will doubtless draw at
.tention from far and wide. 1t will go
to show just how far church may
go as matrimonial agent, though, Of
course the measure of success or fail
ure achieved by the venture cannot
be determined until it is seen if the
counting" room marriages last. At
the Rev. Mr.. Snyder's church the
young men who have been married
and the young men who have not but
would like to be, have long pointed
with pride to the permanency Of the
unions formed in the church. And in
contrast they have pointed out how
the elopements to points across the
lake by other couples produce a large
percentage of the divorces.
But whether the same degree Of
permanency is maintained when the
counting" room is placed in full
operation and the certified courtships
begin to have an effect on the youth
full members Of the Christ Church
congregation, remains to be seen.
Therefore the young men and the
young women of other congregations
may be pardoned if they turn an oc-
casional glance in the direction of the
Rev. Mr. Snyder's church as the ex-
pertinent progresses.
