BEAUTIFUL WORD LECTURES.
Billy Sunday, the erstwhile base
ball expert, but now an evangelist, is
accused of occasionally using slang in
his addresses and exhortations to win
men to live better lives, once in a
while becomes very 60 iuent. In an
address at Des Moines recently, he
painted the following word pictures
and his address was master piece of
eloquence seldom equalled. He said
in part:
twenty-five years ago, with the
Holy Spirit as my guide, entered
this wonderful temple called Christ
ianity. | entered at the portico of
Genesis, walked down through the old
testament art gallery where the pic
lures of Noah, Abrahs m, Moses,
Joseph, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, hang on
the wall. / passed into the music
room of Psalms, where the spirit
swept the keyboard of nature and
brouhgt forth a dirge-liks wall of the
weeping prophet Jeremiah to the
grand impassioned strain Of Isaiah,
until it seemed that every reed and
pipe in Gods great organ of nature
responded to the tuneful harp uf David,
the sweet singer of Israel.
| entered the chapel of Ecclesiastes
where the voice of the preacher was
heard and into the conserve tory of
Sharon and the Lily of the Valleys
sweet scented Spices filled and per
fumed my life. | entered the business
office of Proverbs, then into the OBJ
servatory room of the prophets where
| saw telescopes of various sizes, some
pointing to far-off events; but all
concentrated upon the bright and
morning star, which was to rise above
the moonljt hills of Judea for our SAL
walton.
| entered the audience room of the
King of Kings and caught vision of
His glory from the standpoint of Mat
thew, Mark. Luke and John; passed
into the Acts of the Apostles where the
Holy Spirit was doing his office work
in the formation of the infant church.
Then into the correspondence room
where sat Matthew. Mark, Luke,
John, Paul. Peter, James and Jude,
pending their epistles. l stepped in
to the throne room of Revelations,
where all lowered into glittering
peaks, and | got vision of the King
sitting upon His throne in all His
glory, and l cried:
''All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord uf all -
This is word painting as choice as
it is rare, and if the man who produced
it, Will devote more time to this kind
of work, prejudice against him would
rapidly vanish.

MUST BE MOoE ECONOMY.

George B. Cortelyou, secretary of
the treasury. in his annual report,
gives some startling figures as to the
financial condition IF the fedeI al
treasury, which ought to cause the
President and the members of both
branches of congress to sit up and
take notice of two things absolutely
necessary-either greater economy in
public expenditures or means for rails
ing much large revenue than seems
possible at the present time, unless
resort is made to an income tax.
According to his figures, the ex-
pendltures for the fiscal year which
ended June 81, 1908. amounted to
$5S, 0O0. 900 more than the receipts.
Should the deficit continue to be aug
mented as now seems probable, it will
amount to $143, 900. 600 by the end of
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1909,
and will have to be liquidstd by an
issue of bonds.
1t is passing strange that men in
public positions can not exercise the
same economy they do in their own
private business, but it seems that in
official positions it becomes a grab
game and every man strives to secure
his share of the pubic fund, regard
less of the financial Condition of the
government. Large appropriations
are made for public improvements
which will be of no earthly use for
the people generally and in a few
years are abandoned becaupe OF use
lessness and thus becomes a dead loss.
The President, in his message, re-
commended large expenditures for pur-
poses which appear unnecessary to
the writer, which, should they be
