TAFT TO BE ARBITRATOR
Between Senate and House-Situa-
ton Is Simpliied.

Washington.-President Taft and Sen
ator Aldrich were in conference an hour
and a half at the executive offices Tues
day afternoon.
The tariff is understood to have been
the topic under discussion. No state
ment was given out with regard to the
conference. Specifically it was said at
the White House that there was nothing
to be said about the announcement that
the president will be called upon to act
as arbitrator between the Senate n
House conferees on the tariff bill.
This announcement has greatly simpli-
fed the situation. 1t is generally sup
posed that this arrangement will put the
president in a position largely to get
from the conference the kind of bill
which he believes will meet the platform
pledges of his party.

Terse Comments Upon the Christian
Endeavor Topic for May 80,
Heroes of Home Missions"
Matt 10: 7-16.r
BY WILLIAM t. ELLIS.

The man who is worse than a
heather, according to the Apostle
Paul, is he who fails to provide for
his own. That applies to religious
affairs as we'll as to material things
The divine injunction to the apostles
was that they should begin at
Jerusalem. Home comes first. The
person whose interests in China is so
great that he neglects Christian work
in his own neighborhood is not to
be called a missionary enthusiast: he
is merely an Unbalanced fanatic. In
this day of increasing missionary in
terest we may not lose sight of our
primary responsibility to the oppor-
tunity which is nearest. Work
abroad should be preceded and ac-
companied by work at home.
Usually, fairness compels me to add,
1t is the person whose sense of
responsibility for the uttermost parts
is keenest who is most indefatigable
in labors for his immediate neigh
borhood. Among the heroes of mis-
sions must ever shine the names of
the men who helped give and save
this homeland to Christian
civilization.
