, Che virilfty, all the manhood out OF
us, and another that Christianity had
deluged the nations with blood. Is
Christianity, he asks, a religion of
meekness and mildness, or of MUIR
der and massacre? 1t may be one or
the other, but 1t cannot be both at
the same time.
You remember the humorous poem
by John Godfrey SAKE about the four
blind Hindus who went to see an
elephant. They could not see the ele-
plant, but they said what they had
seen. One happened to lean against
the elephant and declared it was
much like a wall. Another got hold
of his tail and described him as being
like rope. Another got his trunk
and said he was a serpent, and the
fourth ran against his tusk and said
le was shaped very much like a spear.
The fact is that they had not seen the
elephant at all. That Is all. And
that is my sermon. The DIRECTORS
have never seen Christianity at all;
they have never understood Chris
tianity at all. They have seen mere
fragments tail or, ear of the
elephant-but they have not seen
Christianity and know not what it is.
The difficulties of religion are
great, but the difficulties of unbelief
are infinitely greater. 1t is not true
that Christianity in it's fullness Is
simple thing that anybody can grasp
in two minutes. There are difficulties
and perplexities, but the difficulties
and perpleXities and problems in
which you involve yourself by the
election of Christianity are far great
er than those involved in its accept
ance. l could present half dozen,

stated the case truly to us, Jesus

Yankee SnmOans.

Captain C. V. T. Moore, U. S. N,
retired, of Tutuila, Samoan Islands,
recently retired as Governor of the
American part of the islands, says:
I'VE get along finely together, the
Germans and the Americans. There
is a stretch of water thirty miles wide
between us, serving as the boundary
line between the American and the
German islands. The natives of both
the German and American possessions
realize that the supreme powers OF
their respective island homes are in
Washington and Berlin. Although
their history and customs and kingly
traditions are still kept up, they know
that Kaiser Wilhelm and the Presi-
dent of the United States are the real
powers.
The natives of tho American
group call themselves Yankees and
are proud to be Americans. They
sing The Star-Spangled Banner and
other patriotic songs. The natives Of
the German islands are proud of be-
ing subjects of the German Kaiser,
and they give vent to their patriotism
by singing Die Wacht am Riieln.'
THE total expense of the islands
is about $4,000 a year to the United
States, which is for clerks, the Gov

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
STEEL TRUST DIVIDENDS :
PAID IN HUMAN LIVES :
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In Can Americans Afford Safety
In Railroad Travel?" in McClure's,
Carl Vrooman, the author, fixes the
responsibility for the increasing risk
of travelling in the United States. He
writes:
Apparently the railroad managers
have decided that an unchecked in
crease in killings would mean ruin,
and that If greater expenditures are
necessary to reduce the percentage OF
accidents, they must be met. They
say they are willing to pay the price
good rails ought to- be worth, even
If dividends have to be cut, and, un-
doubtedly, some of them would like
70 stop buying from the Trust. Har-
liman has already ordered 10000
tons from an independent concern
which makes open-hearth steel rails,
but his example cannot be generally
followed, because the output of the
comparatively few independent open
hearth process mills is not large
enough to supply more than an In
significant portion of the total cur
rent demand.
I'm a recent issue the Railroad
Gazette said that no individual or
animation of individuals knows bet
ter how to make good rails than the
Steel Corporation, and drew atten-
ton to these points in the contro-
versy: First, the criminal willing
ness of the Steel Corporation to
manufacture rails that cost human
life; second, the attitude, almost
equally criminal, on the part of many
high railroad officers to ignore the
plain truths that are being brought
before them by their superintendent
and chief engineers
LAS shown above these officers now
seem thoroughly reused. At the
meeting of the American Railway
Association not one representative
of the railroads was satisfied with
the rails now being received. Rep
resentatives of the steel-makers who
were present had nothing to say
when asked to defend their processes
of manufacture.
