The Importance of persistence as fac
tor In achieving success is thoroughly
shown in the career Of Borax Smith.
Smith went into the Arizona desert
years ago and got patents to about all the
land that had this important mineral in
paying quantity. For season after season
he hauled it long distances in his mule
team, but all the while he vowed that some
day he'd build railroad into his borax
fields. 1t seemed so visionary and absurd
to think Of constructing a line across such
a God-forsaken country that people called
him crazy. He ignored their ridicule and

military and civil machinery is the kaiser,
Wilhelm 1.-THE most complete p%otentate
in the world. No man ever had a higher
idea of the imperial office and no man
ever came near filling it's manifold require
ments. To Americans the whole theory is
ridiculous. But granted the theory, one is
astonished hat any individual could come
so near to realizing it. In the army, in
the navy, in science, in art, in music, p
Biblical criticism, In every part of religious,
social, industrial and recreative life, the
Kaiser makes his patriarchal personality
effective. The wonder is that in general
he shows such capacity for work, such
practical wisdom, such moral wholesom-
ness, such marvellous versatility.
Dark Side of the Picture.
But the picture which candor compels
us TO paint is not all bright. This military
glory, this luxurious material civilization,
this intoXiCation of national pride, these
sensuous delights Of music and art are
themselves the causes Of some of the
plague spots in Germany's social life.
Whenever there is an aristocracy of wealth
there will be dreadful candals shocking
the moral sense Of mankind. We know
that in our own New York and PittsburE,
All last year the Berlin nsDsTs were full
OF the terrible Harden case.
The philosophic observer cannot feel that
Germany has reached in any department
OF life a healthy equilibrium. The inn
mense and costly army, the instrument of
Germany's rise, threatens economic and
moral ruin. Tie officers are restless, AFRO
CANT, dissolute. The poor working people,
impatient under intolerable taxation, are
fast going into socialism. The kaiser has
had for twenty years a difficult role to
play, but untl lately he has played it
successfully. He saw from the first that
Germany could not afford TO fight another
great war, but must maintain It's army.
The question was how to keep the soldiers
with their blood up and ready for action
and how 20 keep the people quiet under
the taxes. His way has been TO say some
thing ~imprudent about once every six
months and SO fill Europe with a war
scare. Thus he put himself into the center
Of the stage, excited and pleased the army
and silenced the taxpayers. But his last
periodical indescretion went wrong and
like a boomerang came back and struck
the imperial prestige such q blow as Il

Likened to Imperial Rome.
One has somewhat the feeling in walking
about in Berlin tina a visitor must have
had in ancient imperial Rome. Back of
everything. underlying everything, domlnat-
ing everything, one feels the invincible
strength of the army. A single wave of
the imperial hand could aunch instantan-
eously a resistless host, every man OF
whom would know his exact duty. In
England traditional policy keeps the army
out of sight. In France one sees enough
OF slovenly red-trousered privates, but
rarely an officer, and there is nothing
about the French army OF today that stirs
the imagination. In Berlin stately officers

stand on guard before various public build

Whatever one may say OF the folly and
wickedness of war, II is undeniable that
nothing but the development Of the army
and the fighting OF victorious wars has
made possible the progress first OF Prussia
and then OF Germany as a whole. But for
the Prussian army. reactionary Austria
would still be predominant in a dismem-
bered and Impoverished Germany, which
imperial France would still be bullying at
its pleasure, Still It may be true that the
army which was essential to progress so
far is the very thing TO be got rid Of in

object of the government is the welfare of
the people down to the smallest child.
Sanitation, education, public welfare, pub

Berlin is the cleanest city in the world
far cleaner than Springfield. 1t has beau

public buildings. There are public play
grounds for children. Statues abound
everywhere. Art galleries and museums
are numerous and free to the public. In
the royal opera house the best operas are
presented every night in the year, except
for a short time in the summer. In the
royal playhouse classical plays, often
Shakespeare's, are put on In the highest
perfection known to histrionic art. Shake
speare, by the way, is played more In Ber-
lin than in any other part of the world.
Besides the royal ones there are Of course
many other theaters and concert halls.

HIGHER CRITICS AND THE CLERGY.

IF a believes in the teachings of destructive higher
critics he has no place in evangelical pulpit lie had
best go fishing instead of preaching" Rev. pr. Thomas
Cincinnati Ohio
From the very inception of Christianity until the present
time its advocates have been unwilling subject the sys
the supreme test of criticism. If the Christian
religion is of divine origin, claimed it ought to be able
to stand any critical test the only fair method that be
applied in the search for truth Religious prejudice such
as we observe from the quotation given above invariably
the result of early training This form of prejudice has
led every religious persecution, and crueltes nnumer
able and destructive have followed in its wake And OF
what is the higher criticism! Can it destroy truth! Does
it alter change proven fact Truth and fact court criti
csm and demand the fullest investigation for the more
severely critical the inquiry the complete the nvestl
CATION the more potent do truth and fact become.
The real alarm of Dr. Thomas comes from the fact that
the higher criticism is destructive only of his religious fan
tasv The higher critics have penetrated the dark
of theology they have explored the realm of the supposed
miraculous and exposed the vagare of the different theo
logical systems They have carefully weighed the evil
