Soul Service.
While we are entirely dependent
upon God, He needs us in His work
and there are some things we can do
for Him. By using the opportunities
He places in our way, and by employ
ing our powers, we may accomplish
much work for His glory. AS Solomon
was permitted to build the house OF
the Lord, so every Christian has some
edifice of holy, consecrated service to
rear to His Master. We may build God
houses of wood and stone, but the
structure He raises out of us Is a
spiritual temple God works in us more
nightly than we can work for Him.
Houses Of wood and stone, gold and
silver, are but transient and are moth
ing compared to the up-building Of any
thing we can do for Him.

W ASHINGTON.-There appeared In
w the newspapers the other day a
story to the effect that when former
President Roosevelt returns to this
country from his African hunt Presi.
dent Taft will request him to take
charge of the Panama canal and com.
plete that gigantic work.
Friends OF the former president say
1t would be no surprise II the report
turned out correct. Mr.. Roosevelt. as
is well known. took the greatest per.
sonal interest In the Panama canal
and there is no gainsaying the truth
that had 1t not been for the little

mus there would have been no Pana-

Roosevelt there would have been no
successful revolution" But that Is
history now and the work of con-
structing the canal. according to the
reports received here. Is progressing
nicely.

Roosevelt May Complete Work on Canal

when he made his famous statement
on the night Of election. 1904. Now
the question is. what will he do after
he leaves the White House?
while have not discussed the
question with the president, l feel that
the one great work for him to do.
after leaving the White House. is to
complete the construction Of the Pan
anna canal. He Is Just the man to
carry this great undertaking to sue
cessful conclusion. 1t would link his
name with this great waterway and
preserve 1t for all time to come.
President Roosevelt has the ener.
gy. the force. the determination and
the ability to push the work to a
speedy completion. l do not know
that the president would undertake
this task. II requested, but am salts
fed that his selection and acceptance
of the appointment would give general

1t would seem that the senator. In
view of the recent publication. had q

coincidence that the name Of former
President Roosevelt should at this
time be brought into the limelight az
the one man to take charge OF the
work Of building the Panama canal
with which he had SO much to do al
president Of the United States.
IT can hardly be questioned that but
for the midnight successful revolution
in Panama the location Of canal would
still be up in the air. as 1t had beer
for many years. The friends OF the
former president say 1t would be q
fitting tribute to him that he be asked
by President Taft to take hold ant
complete the work.
