WILL FEED THE HUNGRY.
Fashionable Pittsburg Congregation
Forms Unique Club.

On a recent Sunday in the Second
Presbyterian church, one of the most
fashionable in Pittsburg, was organ-
lied what is known as the Breakfast
Brotherhood Club. The organization
consists of men and women enlisted in
q good but certainly most original
cause. Each Sunday morning before

needy. Word was scattered, perhaps
more as a joke than anything else. by
connected with the church that
there would be free breakfasts Sunday
in the v~estibule, served to all who were
hungry. Two hundred people were as
sembled at the church door when the
pastor, S. Edward Young, arrived. He
was Slightly disconnected for a moment,
not having heard of the ~''breakfast
movement but when he learned the
reason for the gathering he met the
situation calmly and at once proceeded
to make an assessment on those mem
bers of the congregation who had al
ready assembled. Food was quickly
procured and coffee made, and the en-
ergetic pastor personally helped leek
after the wants of the hungry 200.
Upon thinking the subject over he and
his people came to the conclusion that
feeding the needy of Pittsburg every
Sunday morning wouldn't be a hard or
unpleasant task, and so the club was
formed.

Lower wages Inevftab1r.

Henry Clews. the New York banker
and broker, addressing the P~ittsburg chap
ter of the American Banking Institute,
said that a general reduction of wages in
all the great railway and other indus
tries had become absolutely necessary be-
cause still at the high figures to which
they were pushed during the long period
of prosperity. He said the labor unions
should at once reduce their wage scales
'and not wait until they are forced to
Weld He pointed out that half a loaf
is better than none, and urged that the
workmen owed this cheerful acceptance
of the cut as a duty to society at large.
Mr.. Clews defended stock speculation on
the exchanges, saying that it sis no more
gambling than Specializing in real estate
or ordinary merchandise" He deplored
the recent attacks on Wall street, the
financial center of, the country, by 10th

Church sy.tem Not Richt.

Rev. DIR. William N. Bocock, pastor
Of the First Reformed church of Bay
onne, N. j., created no slight sensation
when he declared from his pulpit that
the doctrines and ecclesiastical system Of
the church to-day were unsuited to the
needs Of the twentieth century; that the
doctrinal system of the church was a her.
ttage from the sixteenth century; that
while it contained a soul of truth, the
body was unsuited to these times. The
church, he said, was not founded upon a
Sock, and referred to the story of Daniel
In the lions den, the opening of the Red
Sea before the fleeing Israelites. etc. as
fguratiye and very exaggerated language.
He said: THE prophets of the old time
sought the best means of conveying to the
minds of the sort of people then Iiv-
ing the religious spirit, but the things
that were vehicles Of those days cannot
be vehicles of to-day He declared his
intention Of asking the authorities of the
church for permission to preach the
truth for the next two years. While the
older and more staid membership of DIR.
Bocock's church are against his opinions.
1t is said that many Members of his flock
are standing Loyalty by him. and a split
In the society will probably ensue.

INTEGRITY A sTTMULANT.
BY Rev. Robert P. KreiSIer

sh.u-tHH
What seest thou? And ! said a
plulnb-line.-Amos vii, 8.
In the prime of his life there was
granted the Prophet Amos a vision Of
a symbolic picture. He saw a master
builder testing a wall. The wall and
the builder did not attract his atten-
ton so much. as the implement with
which the wall was being tested. Used
to determine whether the wall was
true or not. it suggested a process by
which the characters and lives of men
were TO be tested.
There is hardly a part of life with
out its visions, but the vision that
counts is that which gives us enough
OF truth and Righteousness to inspire
our lives. There is nothing which
stimulates to nobler action more than
a vision Of Integrity. Affection, GEM

visions Of life. But they count foz
nothing without integrity at the bot

SHORT METER SERMONS.

There Is no ministry like that OF
manhood.
The fruitful life does not soon be-
come seedy.
Oily phrases heal none OF the worlds
wounds.
When humanity meets trouble it re-
yeals its divinity.
No man saves himself by running
away from the lost.
1t takes more than lumber and glue
to make the tree of life.
People who are always growing are
often chicken hearted.
The fact that Noah is your uncle will
not keep You dry shod.
You do not need to chew the bake
tins to get the bread Of life.
Many a preacher measures his power
by the noise of his exhaust.
The minister who has money In his
eye will never be able to see men.
This world can bear almost any SCR
row il it will but kill out our SELFISH
ness.
It's the religion YOU wear rathc1
than the religion you are that soon
wears out.
1t will take more than dreams OF
HEAVIER to make this world a paradise
for men.
Some folks. think 1t an act of charity
to get their old rags carried away for
nothing.
The largest rooms Of destiny may be
entered through the smallest doors OF
duty.
Great thoughts are those that go
deep enough TO take root and bsaf fruit
in lives.
When a man tries to hide his relig.
ion he Is wasting time covering up an
invisibility.
There is nothing imaginary about
the weakness that results from worry
over imaginary ills.
A mans place in the heavenly race
Will depend much on his relation to
the human race.
The laws we make for others are
often framed by the plans and lcses Of
our own lives.

j. +. STEVENS. all Oh the nnaUl-
tants of the southern continent are on
the east of the Andes, so that it would
be Of no advantage to make use of
the canal to reach them.
Mr.. Stevens also says that In our
commercial relations with the islands
Of the Pacific and Ear East the canal
will be Of little value. Dur coal and
wheat centers are inland. Their prod
ucts have to be started on their way by
TALL. When once loaded IN car it
would not be cheaper to ship to the
Atlantic and then ship to the east by
the way Of the canal than it would be
TO send directly to the ports on our
Pacific coast and then get on board
ship. Mr.. Stevens believes that our
coal supply is fast diminishing n that
China viii be the coal country for the
future. Siberia, he says, will be the
wheat country Of the future, with India

The Idea of the canal being of great
value to us in times of warfare since
sur naval forces can be quickly sent
from one coast to the other, he says,
10 utterly absurd. 1t would take days
for the ships to get around. and during
that time hestile shells could have done

FIRE TRAPS
Every Village and City Has Its Po-
tential Collinwood Tragedy.

.9#l#E ST. XIII -EaE4"-
That New York city is full Of Gre
traps and that every village and city
possesses the possibilities Of just such
Il calamity as visited Collinweed, Ohio,
is the opinion of Richard L. Humphrey,
engineer in charge of the structural
materials laboratory Of the United
States government. He says:
''The shocking catastrophe at Collin
wood did not result from exceptional
conditions, but from conditions that are
to be found in thousands of instances
throughout the United States. The
same or even worse firetrars prevail
n every village and town and, indeed,
in many of the.large cities. Even where
municipal laws are supposed to govern
the erection of such structures he con-
ditions are often worse han In Collin
wood. The only surprise IS that these
c~atastrcphes do rot occur more fire.
Grently.
THE remedies for these conditions is
not in elaborate systems fer sighting
fire or any elaborate fire drills, which
msy or may not be effectively carried
out, but in the enactment of strict mu-
nicipal laws compelling the erection Of
strtS entirely f~ireprcefed with ma
terials of the highest quality, and es-
pacially in the prevention of the cree
ton of fimsy structures, where women
and children gather in large number,
as. for example, schools, theaters, hos
pitfalls and similar buildings. Unless
such action is taken greater calamities
than those at C~ollinwoed and Boyer
town, attended by even greater loss Of
life, viii undoubtedly occur"

The announcement of the placing cf an
order for $4,000 tons of steel rails on the
1907 basis by the Erie railroad is taken
to indicate the collapse of the steel rail
deadlock. particularly. as it has been fol-
lowed by the statement that practically
every railroad in the country has placed
tentative orders for the estimated require
ment in steel rails for 1905. The aggre-
gate of the estimates is less than that of
last year. t~otaling in the neighborhood of
2.A01,no0 tons.
