Anent the origin and meaning of a species of white oak. not found in the valleys, and adapted 10 the manufacture of bows, baskets or any thing requiring a flexible timber. When these mountains were named the country was q part Of Lou1sl- ana and owned by France. The bow was then in use and wood for OK bows. wagon bows, etc. was in demand by the early settlers and people who travelled through the country. Some one discovered the character of the oak growing Oh these hills and some one gave the name "Bois Hare. pronounced s.Bwah dark, to the mountains. meaning wood for bows. as de- scriptive Of the wood that grew dn the mountains In the patois spok= en then, the word was shortened. the pronunciation corrupted from Bwah dark to Ozark Note that the central idea in the word ozark and Bois dare is in the syllable, Ark or Are. and clearly refers to part of circle or bow.

TALKS ON RELIGION
AS A L|FE'S GUIDE
breaches Eloquent Sermon
Based on Text from
Romans.

Preaching on Religion in Life's Com
monplace," yesterday. the Rev. Joseph
Hunter, pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church, took his text
from Romans xii, 2, saying in part:
1--WE complain of life's routine as
though it were inimical to our spiritual
well being and growth in grace. In
stead, it is the arena where the soul is
tested and spiritual fibre developed.
The weary round, the common task,
are in harmony with Natures way.
Tho Infinite Creator, for u~nnumbered
aeons, has, day by day and year by
year., renewed the same u%nvarying
round of b%eneficent ministries. Through
these common duties of life, rightly
performed, we grow like Him. Life is
a unit. BY thy words thou shalt be
justified and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned because words reveal
as we'll as conceal h soul within.
The leaf and the trunk of the tree have
the same constituent elements. A man
cannot be one thing in business and
politics and another in church. DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde are one. Chris
tianity is a seamless robe. 1t must be
donned altogether or not at all. God
must control all of our life. Let Him
sway yours

GETS CHURCHMEN
TO MD FIGHT ON
TRACK GAMBLING
Secretary Miller, Of Interna-
tional Reform Bureau, Circus
lafes Petition After Address.

= In the Third Presbyterian Church
Yesterday morning an address ON re-
form work in Congress was given by
the Rev. o. R. Miller, the local district
secretary of the International Reform
Bureau, whose headquarters are WASH
ington, d. C. He. told of many re-
form measures passed by Congress
which had been initiated by the reform
bureau, bearing or temperance, Sab
bath observance. s~tricter divorce laws,
anti-gambling, anti-polygamy, anti
opium, etc.
He mentioned bills for which the
reform bureau is working, one being
the Burkett-F oelker bill to prohibit
the telegraphing of race-track bets or
corning this measure Mr.. Miller said:
"Race-track gambling has peer out
lawed In every State in the Union ex-
cept three. Those States, by means of
the telegraph, keep race-track gam
bling alive in man. other States.
Daily, and even no. during the
racing season in those A~e- STAGE the
race-traclk gamblers telegraph all over
the country the gambling news, giving
the odds being placed on the different
horses at each race, and also giving
the results of each race, etc, so that
in many cities in the States which
prohibit betting at race tracks this evil
is still carried on to an alarming de-
gree lin poolrooms.
1.-The passage of this bill would be
the finish of race-track gambling"
AT the close of his address Mr.. Miller
presented a petition which was largely
signed, urging the passage by Congress
of the Burkett- Foelker measure.
Mr.. Miller will tonight address the
Mems Club of the Forest Hill Prcsby-
terrain Church.

WASHINGTON AND
THE new NA1|0N,'
PASTORS THEME
Father of His Country Was Re-
ligiOus and Belonged to
All Churches.

In the High Street Presbyterian
Church. the Rev. DIR. Henry X. Den
fingers theme last night, in a series or
religion and the republic, was Wash
ington and the New Nation He said
in part: ISIS
America is the result of cross-fertil-
lzatlon. h native love of liberty
which characterized the Teutonic peo-
pies isolated on the British Isles, there
to work out the destiny of free institu-
tions, was breathed upon by the pollen
of the Christian religion, which also
trusted the people and had for its ideal
the freedom of sovereign souls. Vigor-
Gus growths of this cross-fertilization
were in a providential time trans
planted to this new country for the
sake of the free development of a new
species of civilization. This is America.
The colonies passed from association
to confederation, anSeox.. confedera-
ton to unity. George e<tef - was a
new Pharaoh whose heals Z Tsped
that he might let this new people go.
The Revolutionary War was not revo-
luton, but a sloughing off, as of an
outworn skin, of the Old World civili-
cations.
1.-THE unity of the new nation was
in the soul of George Washington. A
Virginia planter, the wealthiest man
on the continent, he might we'll h:ye
said, This uprising in Boston is only
a tempest in a teapot gotten up by
Boston merchants. Lei them fight it
out.' What he did say in the Vir-
ginia Assembly was this, 1 will enlist
and equip at my own expense a thou
sand men and march to the relief of
Boston, These words by the silent
man of strength were more momentous
and electrifying to the colonies than
Patrick Henry's famous, Give me lib
erty, or give me DEATH
1T was inevitable that religion should
be assigned in the new nation the place
of deepest import. America separated
the church and State out of a sense of
the deep import of the spiritual char
acter of religion. This nation honored
the Master who said, My kingdom is
not of this world The best thing that
can be said for this ideal is that it
has worked The population has multi
Piled fifteen fold. but the membership
in churches has multiplied more than
fifty fold. The church has more power

tion and freedom in America than any
where in the world, and the people are
more religious. This IS a precious her
itage to be guarded

THE GREATNESS Of
LINCOLN THEME Of
THE REV.. H. R. ROSE
Emancipator's Home, Haunts
and Life Subject Of Stirring
Eulogy.


The Home, Haunts n Life of Lin
eoln." an eloquent sermon by the Rev.
Henry r. Rose, in which the preacher
portrayed the life of the emancipation
from the cradle to the grave, filled the
Church of the Redeemer last night.
Many had to be turned away.
Mr.. Rose dwelt at length upon the
political career of Lincoln. Lincoln's
debates with Stephen A. Douglas, Mr..
Rose declared, were the adaptation, by
Lincoln, of Patrick Henry's famous SEN
timent, 81 would rather be right than
President" The, marvellous foresight of
Lincoln was exemplified, he said, by
the position he took in these debates,
for his speeches n his earnestness
caught the ear of the young West. and
compelled his WI party to nominate
him against their will.
1T Is seldom" the preacher said,
shat a candidate for President is
elected when the vote Of New York is
cast, against him.. Yet Lincoln was.
Later, we find his u%nschooled orator
and statesman contributing master
pieces to enrich our literature. His
bkC ia " L - ilO
lost FIVE sons on the battlefield, is now
hanging in Oxford University, ranking
In that centre of learning with famous
literature of the worlds greatest
writer's. But more than literary abil-
tty, 1t showed the warm heart of Lin
coln-the heart that was wrung by
grief for the widows and the fatherless
when affairs of moment, unparalleled
in the country's history, lay heavy
upon him."
Lincoln feared assassination, the
speaker thought, and indicated this
fear by his address in Philadelphia en-
route to his Inauguration, on February
%. 1851. The addresses delivered by
Lincoln to the New Jersey Legislature
upon Washington crossing the Della
ware, shortly before his Philadelphia
address, were also reviewed by Mr..
Rose.
One hundred and sixty photographs
of Lincoln, from the age of 80, when he
first entered politics until his assassi-
nation, were shown by s~tereopticon.
The pictures were saved from the 1876
Chicago fire.
