IMMORTALITY

Many years ago l heard a distin-
guished American orator deliver a
lecture upon the evidence of immor-
tally outside the Bible. In the stress
and pressure he held the rapt and
breathless attention of an immense
audience comprising all that was
most cultured, brilliant and renowned
in the social and official life of the
capital
He dwelt with remarkable effect
iveness and power upon the fact that
nowhere in nature, from the highest
to the lowest, was an instinct, an i'm
pulse. a desire implanted, but that ul-
timately were found the conditions
and the opportunities for the fullest
realization. He instanced the wild
fowl that moved by some mysterious
impulse, start on their prodigious mi
gratiOns from the frozen fens of the
pole and reach at last the shining
south and the summer seas; the fish
that from tropic CULTS seek their
spawning grounds in the cool, bright
rivers of the north; the bees that find
in the garniture of fields and forests
the treasure with which they store
cells. and even the wolf, the lion and
the tiger, that are provided with their
prey.
Turning to humanity, he alluded to
the brevity of life, its incompleteness,
its aimless. random and fragmentary
careers; its tragedies, it's injustices,
its sorrows and separations Then he
referred to the Unsuitable hunger for
knowledge, the efforts of the uncon-
querable mind to penetrate the mys-
teries of the future, its capacity to
comprehend infinity and eternity, its
desire for the companionship of the
departed: its unquenchable aspira-
tons for immortality: and he asked:
why should God keep faith with the
beast, the bee, the fish and the fowl.

is HEROIsM DEAD?

One part Of East Africa which Mr..
Roosevelt traversed is brimful Of
human interest on account of the
moral heroism displayed there gem
Grafton ago by group of fine young
men from the English universities. It
was at the time when Stanley was
playing the role Of foreign mission
airy in Uganda by giving daily Bible
lessons to the pagan old king, Mtesa,
and translating the gospels into his
vernacular. Stanley became so in
terested in his novel occupation that
he challenged Christian England to
send him recruits. Eight young stu
dents some tt them famous athlete
Immediately responded, not for the
sake of shooting lions and hippo
potami, but to tame the saveage ma
tives and make Christians out of can
nibals. To be sure several of those
Englishmen lost their lives, but when
a telegram from East Africa reached
ondon one Monday, appealing for four
more men to tsart the following Sat-

rady, nine had volunteered their

urady, nine had volunteered their
services by Wednesday. No wonder
that Stanley called the story of the
Uganda Mission IAN epic poem. And
the same spirit that animated those
English students is alive in our own
colleges today. Shortly after the hor-
rible massacres in Turkey last April,
one OF the secretaries of the American
Board received letter from an UNI
dergraduate in a famous university,
begging to be sent there at once with
out waiting to finish the course. An
other asked particularly to be sent
to Hadjin, place where teachers and
pupils in the mission school were shut
up for. three whole weeks, not know
ing whether they. would ever come
forth alive, and where young Rogers
was stationed, the man who was kill
ed while trying to save others. The
New York Nation said Of this act:
1T was a death as glorious In spirit
as General Gordon's, giving up life
to save the feeble and friendless, and
we may be sure that the recording
angel will not be misled by the abb
sence of newspaper glorification, Is
heroism dead? Not a bit of it!

"BIG BILL" COMING

e .
Seattle, Wash. July 2S.-When
President w. H. Taft visits Seattle
the latter part of September, to at
tend the Alaska Yukon-Pacific expo
sition, it is predicted that the largest
gathering ever known on the Pacific
Coast willie ongregate. Special ar
rangements are already under way to
provide special entertainment for not
only the President, but the crowds
also. Three previous presidents have
visited Seattle while in office; Hayes,
Harrison and Roosevelt. Each visit
was memorable occasion. The rec
sords for crowds established on these
visits are certain to be shattered
when big Bill comes, not that he Is
a stranger to Seattle and the North
west, but because he is SO will known
and SO well liked here Many pros
pective visitors will put off their COM

when they will "kill two birds with
one stone" The President will leave
the East, September 18th, stopping
enroute for brief visits in Denver,

EXPOSITION NOTES

Idaho visitors to the Alaska
Pacific Exposition are becoming more
numerous every day, as shown by the
register in the Idaho building. Dur
ing the. rest of the exposition period
it is expected that many thousands
will register here. Some Of the coun-
ties and cities are buttoning," or
placing badges on neighbors from
their particular sections of the state.
Many visitors from the Middle
West and South are enquiring about
Idaho fruit lands and make 1t a point
to mention that they intend visiting
the state on their return trip. AL
though the commissioners are labor
ing under the disadvantage Of not
having a completed exhibit, on &C
count Of the appropriation not being
made until this year, the state is re-
ceiving wide publicity with what
showing they have.

returned to the state in an endeavor
to hurry along the exhibits which
have been promised. As one Of the
commissioners stated: they are wait

Commissioners from the southern

ground in the rear of the building
and will show visitors the method of
irrigating as carried on in Idaho.

CAUSE OF YOUR ILLNESS


The pure food commissioners and
boards Of health are finding out many
things about the causes of illness, and
one of the most important that has
received attention in recent years is
the fly. People in general have failed
to observe that the fly walks about in
the worst filth he can find and then
walks about in their food if he gets
a chance, leaving pollution wherever
he goes. The state board of health Of
Florida got out picture which tells
the story of a fy's life and its con-
nection with the illness and death Of
people, and this plate has been re-
produced for printing the illustration
all over the country. Pure Food Com

was the moment to put ehtir house
in order. Their main street was a sea
of mud half the year and puddle
of dust the other. There were five
thousand people and no sewer system.
Not a street was graded, nor was
there sidewalk worthy the name.
They had passed an ordinance prohi-
biting cows from running at large,
and that was about the extent of their
civic betterment. These things they
resolved to change. The citizens held
a mass meeting for the purpose of in
creasing their taxes. The assessed
valuation jumped from $580,000 to
$1,68S,207. They built their sewer
system. They paved the business
streets. Thep spent $50 for each man,
woman and child, and they ingenious
ly arranged, by, verbal promises, to
have the work to go to local labor.
The result was that boarded money
came out to be used when it was most
needed, that the idle got work, and
that rather shiftless-appearing town
became a little city. There are now
some eight thousad peopleso the
Centralians say. Their state of mind
is illustrated by the fact that one Of
The reasons for the. defeat of an other
wise excellent candidate for mayor
was that although the city had had
an electric light plant for several
years he had only recently put lights
in his house. The mills are running
again. Centralia agfain has a job.

Centralians, adversely did. Happy

Something more is needed to place
Turkey on a firm foundation political
" than the adoption of constitution
and the deposition Of Abdul Hamid.
The Ethiopian can change his skin
and the leopard his spots quite as
easily as the graf solid mass of Mo-
hammedans can be changed in char
acter by the new regime at Constan-
tinople. Race hatred, nouirshed for
six centuries, cannot be obliterated
by a stroke of the pen. The Young
Turk Party and the Committee of
Union and Progress have made an
honest and heroic attempt, one that
challenges the admiration of the civil
lized world, to interpret in terms Of
brotherhood their rallying cry of
Liberty, Justice, Equality and FREE
ternity. But Moslems do not wish
the Christians of the empire to en-
JOY liberty, nor will they tolerate
their claim to equality If they can
help it. Moslems believe that God
has given them right to rule over all
non-Moslems races, to look upon them
as interiors, and to exterminate them
If they refuse to obey This deep
rooted conviction has not been aban-
doned since the revolution OF year
ago. No one questions the sincerity
of individual Moslems who are mem
bers of the new Parliament, but the
mass Of Mohammedans are densely
ignorant and it will require long
time to educate them out of their
narrowness and fanaticism. Where
are the teachers to be found?
There is abundant evidence that
the reactionary movement last April
was part of the old plot to wipe out
the American race, or at least to mas
sacre all its adult males. A similar
outbreak is liable to occur at any
moment and the central government,
however well-intentioned may not be
able to check it with even the degree
Of success which attended it this time.
Nothing but sleepless vigilance, ex-
ercised in spirit Of superb and en-
lightened patriotism, saved the new
national party from being overborne
in this last crisis. They "have scotch
ed the snake not killed it," The
bloody work is suspended, but un-
willingly and under compulsion. The
Moslems also feel that they have been
defrauded Of their right to enrich
themselves by the loot of Armenian
shops and homes, which their core
ligionists lately enjoyed at Adana and
elsewhere. So long as the two mo-
tives of race hatred and thirst for
loot exists there is bound to be trou-
BILE.
From whence cometh help? Those
Iamlllar with the situation In turkey
agree that the time has now come for
the Intervention of the Christian
powers. The agitators and reaction
aries boldly assert that there is moth
ing to fear from the Powers, that they
did nothing to the perpetrators Of the
former massacres and they have done
nothing now. There is too much truth
in this statement. Won Moltke pre-
dicted years ago that universal war
would sometime be waged beneath the
walls of Constantinople. There Is
grave danger lest this prediction be
fulfilled unless the followers of the
Prince of Peace rally to the support Of
the brave Constituencies at this
critical time in the history Of the OF
toman Empire.
