facts do not get into the daily papers. Only those who read the church papers get gmpses of what is being done.
 The church trains the good Samaritan of to- day. The church breathes life into the mass of social and eleemosynary work that is going on. The church is Christianizing the world and Christianity lies at the base of our civilization.
 All of these things would be done if the church did nothing about them directly, because of that which lies at the heart of the church. the spirit of Jesus Christ The closer the church keeps to the simple message of the gos- pei as it's prime object, the deeper, the wider and the more far-reaching will be its influence and its uplifting power among men.

Now and then one hears of an American about to go abroad for the first time, making a pilgrimage to Niagara Falls and to Washington. It is proverbial that foreigners always ask an American visitor if they hve seen that natural wonder and their ntiomal capital. Englishmen who make the grand tour have not the same embar- hassment, for it is comparatively easy for them to see every corner of their little island. But Americans will have to extend their travels at home, for they may be asked nowadays about their country beyond the Mississippi.

DOES THE CHURCH MAKE GOOD?
By ReU. Dr. Cory

There may be a difference of opinion as to the prime object of the church. Certain re- suits that cannot be tabulated may well be con- sidered its most important work. To touch the inner life; to quietly SOW the seeds of prin- ciple and righteousness; to diffuse an atmos- phere of brotherhood, of lofty aspiration, and eternal hope; and to make present in human life the consciousness of God The institution that does these things deserves the highest esteem and should enlist the most earnest effort of every one.
 But, also, there is demand for show of concrete results. The demand is just. There ought to be concrete results to prove the vital ity of this inner quiet hidden work
 The fact is there are concrete results plenty of them and the world ought to know about them.
 The facts show that the church is the great reservoir of power for all social work.
 Out of one thousand and sixteen workers in settlements, charities, and so on in America seven hundred and fifty three, or seventy four per cent, were found to be church people, in a recent canvass
 In the charity organizations of the country, ninety-two per cent were found to be church members and in the social settlements eighty eight per cent.
 In the board of directors of many an insttu- tion doing far-reaching social work for chiI- dren, for outcasts and for our cities, every di- rector proves to be member of some church.
 As result of plan inaugurated by the charity organization society of Buffalo, one hundred and thirty two of the churches of that city are engaged in charity work.
 The charity directory of New York city gives Al 4 4 Al Protestant churches of that city.
 Eleven social settlements directly connected with some church.
 Thirty churches engaged in fresh air work.
 Fifty church kindergartens
 Forty sewing classes.
 Twenty nine employment societies.
 One wood yard.
 Twenty gymnasiums
 Thirty industrial, trade and manual training schools
 Four night schools.
 Eleven kitchen gardens.
 Eighteen penny prevalent funds.
 Seven day nurseries.
 Two lodging houses.
 Besides various dispensaries, clinics, flower and fruit missions, coal clubs, libraries, read ing rooms, baths, summer homes, laundry schools, burial societies, athletic clubs. medical and legal-aid societies, soup and coffee houses,
 The Department of Church and Labor" in connection with one Protestant denomination last year. directed campaigns in six cities, en tered four hundred shops, enlisted five-hundred preachers held one thousand meetings, distrb uted fifty thousand special programs and spoke to two hundred thousand working men.

 These are just sample facts They could be multiplied ad infnitum. The church does this work quietly and as a matter of course.

BROKER TIRES
|. OF LONG EXILE
THROUGH CRIME
R. Brent Mitchell Anxious to
Make Fortune in Honduras
to Repay Victims
Fled From City Many Years Ago
After Defrauding Women
of Over 100000

r. Brent Mitchell, the broker who
fed from this city a number of years
ago, after defrauding his clients-most-
ly wealthy women in the Palace ho-
tel-out of over 100000, now repents of
his crime and wishes that his days of
exile We're over. This is the informa-
ton brought by Stephen A. D. Upton, q
mining engineer, who met Mitchell while
In Honduras. and who arrived in this
city yesterday on the steamship Penn
sylvania.
Mitchell is now in the real estate
business in San Pedro Sula, acting as
manager of the Honduras realty com
pany, under the name of r. A. Wilson.
His ambition has been to reap a for
tune in Honduras and to come back to
San Francisco with his profits and
settle his debts.
Tired of Long Exile
Mitchell told me-" Upton said last
night at the st. Francis, that he was
sorry he had not remained in this city
and taken his medicine. He hopes
some day to make a large fortune in
Honduras and to settle with his cred
itors. The opportunities are small,
however. and with nearly every other
member of the fugitive colony he
wishes that he was out of the country.
There are about II fugitive Ameri-
cans in Honduras I should say. one of
the most prominent being Major Ed
ward A. Burke. one time editor of the
New Orleans Times Democrat, who alb
seconded in 1885 during the time of the
New Orleans cotton exposition.
Mitchell is well thought of in Hon
durss-at least, there has never. so far
as l could learn. been any suggestion
of dishonesty in his business dealings
there. He hates his exile. however, and
is bending every effort to place himself
in position TO return to his home. J,

they can be worked only at great cost

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-All records
