DoN,Ts FOR CHURCHMEN

Don't forget that where your life
does not teach your teaching cannot
live
Don't neglect your works if you
would have your wings take care of
themselves.
Don't initiate men who miss the
spirit Of the law by making most of
the letter.
Don't fail to learn that the farther
your life reaches the deeper its roots
will strike.
Don't try to lead the world to a
better life by looking like an under
taker on Sunday.

NO STRIKE IN CHICAGO.
Conference Will Probably Adjust Dispute
on Traction Lines

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 23.-Negotia-
tions were resumed today between trac
ton officials and representatives of
attempt to avert a threatened strike on
the surface street car lines. Several inn
portant conferences had been planned
for the day. The first one of these was
a joint conference Of railway officials,
wage scale committees representing all
of the men, president William ID. Mahon
Of the International Street Carmen's
union, and Walter l.. Fisher, who rep
Tesents the city in the negotiations. The
consensus of opinion before the con-
ferences seemed to be that a settlement
of the dispute would be reached either
through a new offer by the street car
officials or by means of arbitration, and
that recourse to a strike would not be
necessary

LIFTED UP AND CAST DOWN

By Rev. Duncan J. Mcmillan, D. D.
Text: Thou hast lifted me I'D. and
cast me down. Psalm Chile.
Each of US in the humble walks Of
life are on the heights and in the
depths alternately. God lifts us I'D
at times into prosperity and comfort
and our lives flow on in ceaseless song
like the limpid musical stream, but
when He casts US down we murmur
and complain and forget that the
downward plunge is just as needfuI
and just as much a necessary part
OF benefcent plan as the uplift is
We find that there are Just as many
uplifting strokes as there are down
ward returning plunges. There are
just as many valleys as there are
mountain peaks-just as many nights
as there are days-and the night is
just as necessary to our welfare and
happiness as the day is-the valleys
are as essential to the wealth of a
nation as the mountains are, for
while the mountains have their stores
Of mineral wealth, the valleys in their
fertility are teaming with life
All nature is full of the same
thing. Nature abhors monotony as
much as she abhors vacuum. God
has struck nothing on a dead level
The hills and the dales, the noun
tains and the valleys, the rivers and
the rock-ribbed ridges IRE but natures
counterpart to grace. Even the water
that constantly seeks its level is not
permitted to find it, unless it be to
become stagnant and breed poison and
death in the stiffness. The seas that
bear the commerce Of the world are
always restless They are churned into
foam, lifted into pillows and plowed
into troughs.

posed of Criminal OrienraIs.
The tongs OF San Francisco's Chi
hatown are made up of "highbinders,"
or bad men, says the Bohemian, and
their names are as follows: Ping Kong,
Suey Sing, Hop Sing, 30 On, 30

If these eleven tongs have any quar-

Six Companies five months ago ap-
pealed to the Chinese consul general
to stop war between several of the
tongs. The best he could do was TO
get them to declare a truce, which
lasted until the Chinese New Year.
But as these lines are being written
the New Year festivals have ended
and the tong war has again begun.
It must not be inferred, however,
that the tongs typifv the mass CT the
Chinese, who are generally peaceable.

are placed on the walls of Chinatown.
