A ROCKEFELLER OF AN EARLIER
DAY

1t would have seemed ironical to
Amos and Abbott Lawrence, merchant
.I1inces of Boston, that half a century
after their death a word from a new
a,c greater captain of industry should
D. needed Il. jog the nations men,
Cry of their careers. Two flourishing
cities and a scientific school stand as
memorials to the Lawrences, and
their name still retains a social pres
tIse in Brahmin circles in Boston.
But Mr.. Rockefeller's statement to
the Evening World that a biography
Of Amos Lawrence inspired his efforts
and formed his character will give
? vogue to the old merchants fame it
has not enjoyed in a generation. Mr..
Rockefeller has done for the Life of
Amos Lawrence" what DR.. Eliot did
for the journal of John Woolman."
The traits of character which Law
renee possessed in common with 9th
CT merchants of the old school-his
piety, his adherence of tobacco and
"a ink, his runctuality and business
acumen-arn revealed in his Dairy
and Correspondence. As a boy he
faced the riGicule of his fellow-clerks
by refusing the rum punch which they
were accustomed to take every morn
ing at II. He never smoked, though
he kept a choice cigar in a drawer for
its Odor. He never allowed a bill to
remain unpaid over Sunday. "Busi
.Iess before friends was one of his
9xioms, and his secret of success is
contained iE his declaration that he
formed the habit of promptly acting,
thus taking the top of the tide, while
The habit of some others was to delay
until about half tide, thus getting on
the flats"
Lawrence was a prototype of the
II odern merchant who succumbs to
lie strenuous life. He broke down at
fcrty-five, and was for fifteen years
an invalid on a diet of 'crusts and cof-
fee for breakfast, crusts and cham
ragne for dinner" His praise OF the
"epicureanism' of a bread-and-water
fare, his fondness for aphorisms, his
shrewd philosophy and multifarious
advice on topics ranging from politics
to the choice of a wife suggest paral-
leis.
But it is in the matter of systematic |
charities that the parallel is closest. |
Is it to the example of Lawrence's !
gifts to William and Kenyon Colleges
that the University of Chicago owes
its princely endowment? Lawrence !
gave with a lavish hand to education,
20 distressed clergymen and embar-
rassed frieEds, spending 100000 in
making other people happy" as his
phrase was. His philanthropy was

Cabling an Indian God.

A story comes from Gorakhpur,
India, to the effect that two boys went
to the river side to invoke the water
god Mahadeo. They recited "man-
thras" at some length, but Mahadeo
did not appear. Whereupon the lads
contrived to hasten his coming by
cutting at each others throat with a
sword, suggesting thereby to the re-
calcitrant that their lives were in dan
ger. This method of invocation prov
ing abortive as well, they both jumped
into the river. One was drowned, but
the other returned to his right mind
and ran home to tell his story.

and hated him. Few are so thorough

that something that goes into the

sorbing something which made him

that idolatrous alteration for the beau
tiful; that contempt of everything
common. In order to picture his

declared Rabbi Samuel Marks in a SER
mon at BETHEL Temple last Friday
night.
The sermon was upon the subject,
Woman in Politics." but it was plain
that the speakers idea was that wo-
man should not be in politics. The
rabbi praised the good woman and
spoke in tender terms of motherhood
and wifehood.
He closed by sayine,: 81 believe all
that is good in a good woman would
be lost when she soils her hands in

Much Of Archaeological Value Found
at Gezer, Showing its Vicissitudes.

AT DR.. Putnam Cady's lecture at
the Scottish Rite Cathedral, Seventeen
and Locust streets, the subject IRE
cent Changes and Discoveries in Pal
estine," opened a question of great
interest to students of the Bible and
the psychologists as we'll. The new
roads through the country, the recent
ly finished railroads and those pro-
jected, the change at Beersheba where
a town of considerable size now exists
and where gasoline engine now is
drawing water from one of the ancient
wells of Abrahams day, were spoken
of and illustrated at length.
The point of interest just now is
far as excavations are concerned, is
the city of ancient Gezer This his
toric spot was discovered quite by
accident through the researches of
Professor Ganneau, but it's identity
is unquestioned. Boundary stones bear
ing the name of the city have been
found, and rich returns in historic
material have been brought to light
by the Palestine Exploration Fund
