WEDNESDAY MORNING.

DR.. Charles E. Bradt delivered a
most helpful and inspiring address,
in which the duty of the church
and individuals to prea CHI the Cos
| pei to every creature was most
clearly set forth. His coming to the
Presbyterian Missionary meeting
and to the Bible conference has
been a great blessing and a dis
tinct benediction. At the close of
the address DR.. Bradt left the city to
continue his work in other places,
and the conference engaged in a
season of prayer for foreign mis-
sion.
Addres of Arthur T. Fowler. At
10 o'clock DR.. A. T. Fowler delivered
his address on the theme The
Gifts and the Giving of Life,' -
basing his remarks on Acts ST..
Briefly the main line of thought is as
follows: $. -.
All life is based on one of two
theories, either selfish or artificial.
One is a whirlpool drawing every.
thing to the center, the other a
fountain, sending forth life and
blessing. One is a Bethsaida pool
of healing and the other dead sea,
taking in all that comes and giving
forth nothing. Each life is animated
by the selfish or sacrifcial motive.
In the passage chosen for a text,
the apostles caught the sacrifcia]
spirit of the Master. Peter and
John had gone to the temple to pray.
They had no more from Christ than
we can receive if we bring the same
spirit of self-surrender. He is not
so far away from US as to be a mere
ideal. Many think their doing of
good depends on having great
possession.
This is not the only way that
men can be useful to the world It
is not necessary to be rich in order
to do good.
God gives us life. How are we
using it? What are we living for?
We have something that can be
used for the benefit of others. First
the gift Of knowledge. We need to
realize there is a stewardship of
knowledge as surely as steward
ship of money. This is the glory of
the teachers profession. Those are
great benefactors who are able to
impart knowledge. And those who
possess knowledge and do not impart

San Francisco Dec. 31.-Although it
is but a short time since the outrage
perpetrated at the church of ST. Dom

crime of the same nature An attempt
was successfully made to desecrate
the Temple Emmanuel on Sutter
street, the vandals effecting entrance
by placing ladder against one OF
the handsome and costly stain glass
windows, completely shattering it in
their hurried efforts. They robbed
the altar of it's cloth. which they tore
to shreds and scattered cnrelessly
about the floor A number Of pews
were overturned but efforts to get at
the silver service proved futile as these
valuables were safely under lock and
key. Before finishing their work the

HIDES ARE BOOKED
FOR THE FREE LIST
Would Be Serious Blow to New Mex
ico's Stock Industry-Demand for
Taking Duty From Coal.

Washington. Dec. 3l.-The house
WAYS and means committee, which Is
charged with the duty Of framing a
revised tariff bill has received MI
merous suggestions and plans in con
nection with its work. These have
come from manufacturers, importers
and others who are interested in the
tariff and who have briefs with the
tariff trainers.
There has been a persistent rumol
around the committee room to the ef
feet that the new bill will put hides
on the free list and provide for sub
stantial reduction in the duties or
shoes and leather products. Seyera
manufacturers have testified that they
could stand slight reduction in the
tariff on their products. r. II. Long
a shoe manufacturer of South Farm
ington, Mass, has written to the com
mittee admitting that duty of 20 pei
cent would serve to protect the Amer
ican industry on condition that hides
are put on the free list. He protested
however. against the placing of shoes
on the free list, claiming that it would
be necessary for the American manu-
facturer to establish factories abroad
in order to get the advantage OF the
cheaper cost of labor.
Free coal" and free hides" are
among the changes for which there
has been the greatest demand. There
promises, in fact, to be a lively dis
cussion between the members of the
subcommittee that is working on the
new bill, when the coal and hides
schedules are reached.

Santa Fe is surely mecca Tor tour

There is no more accurate gauge OF
the flow of tourists to the city than
the register at the rooms of the New

hours day six days in the week and
two hours on Sunday and it is fair to
assume that a greater portion of the
tourists and sightseers visit the mu-
scum and register.
The registrations at the museum
during the year closing today give
some idea of the number of tourists
who have come to Santa Fe during
the past twelve months. Approx.

in the neighborhood Of 3,400
