| PASTORAL PLEA FOR
EARNEST COOPERATION

AS you have noticed in the col
umns of the HERALD, we are intend
ing to start a Revival meeting al,
Leakesville NJ. p. Church on the 9Th
night of June. When we say RE-
vIvAL, let US bear in mind Revival
is meeting where sinners are con-
verified and believers are sanctified
The success of a meeting is the
fruits of prayer, so we don t OILY
ask the Christians of Leakesville to
help us in the m 4otingS but we BEG
you to help. 1t would do my heart
good if every citizen in town would
attend service and help to get
Mammals boys and girls saved. Let's
divide ourselves into two companies;
one to do good, and the other to get
good Come one, com all; help one;
help all, pray one, pray all.

Wise judge.


A blind street musician, reports a
Chinese paper, stood on the shore of
9 river, puzzled how to cross the
stream. He implored an oil dealer,
who happened to come along, to as
sist him. The oil dealer had pity on
the helpless man, took him on his
shoulders, gave him his money bag to
hold and carried him across. WheD
he deposited his burden on the other
shore the blind man refused to return
him his money bag, raised noise and
declared that the money was his
property. The matter came before the
judge, and each man said on oath that
the money belonged to him. The judge
finally ordered the bag of money emp
tied into a water tank, and then sud-
denly announced that the oil dealer
was tie owner. When asked for the
reason for his decision, he declared
that tie money of the oil dealer must
certainly show traces of his business,
and, indeed on the surface of the
Mater traces of oil were found.

SPLIT IN STANFORD ALUMNI
One Faction of Association Calls
Meeting to Aid Students

AS a result of the trouble between
the Stanford students and faculty, To-
cal alumni of Stanford university have
become involved in a controversy al
most as serious as that existing on
the university campus. Repudiating
the executive committee of the alumni
association, which refused Tuesday
night to call a meeting, score of the
prominent graduates of the institution
have taken matters into their own
hands and announced q mass meeting
to be held tonight at 8 o'clock in JEFF
ferson Square hall in the Jefferson
Square building at Golden Gate avenue
and Octavia street.
The faction of the alumni associa-
tion which supports the students and
believes that the sentiment of the ma
jority of the alumni was not expressed
by the executive committee of the
association in declaring its support Of
the faculty, made a second demand
yesterday for a meeting. This was
done through a petition signed by sew

HILL is SURPRISED
Sudden Change of Front by
Germany Amazes Him

PARIS, March 25.-Dr David JAYNE
Hill. who arrived from The Hague this
evening, expressed the greatest sur
prise when informed that the German
government had declined to receive him
as successor to Ambassador Tower He
said that this was the first intimation
he had of the German governments s
action, and she was at loss to under
stand the announcement, especially be-
cause he had seen an official communal
cation from Germany expressing Ger
many's satisfaction over the ratification
of his selection for that post by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In. the absence of official advices
Minister Hill declined further to dis
cuss the matter. The announcement Of
Germany's attitude caused great sur
prise in French diplomatic circles, in
which DR.. Hill is well known, especially
from his writings on international law,
and his services in The Hague peace
conference. The Matin thinks that the
reason for Germany's refusal to accept
DR.. Hill is the attitude which he and
the other American delegates adopted
at The Hague. This attitude on several
occasions greatly displeased Germany.

No other Italian princesses have

BERLIN, March 25.-It was learned
that the grounds upon which the Ger

Hill are. In general, that he is not
representative enough for the United
States to send to Germany. The Ger
man foreign office made inquiries at
The Hague apd these brought the re-
port that DR.. Hill had not created
much of a position for himself at the
Netherlands court. 1t appears also that
some German officials who have met DR..
Hill have made representations at the
court here adverse to him. 1t does not
appear than any of DR.. HilPs opinions
or writings are Objectionable to Ger

he was considered as not suited for this
