REAL SOURCE OF STRENGTH
Abounding Love of the Saviour Where in the Christian Serves and
 Is Served.

Christ's love does not depend on our faith, but our faith depends on his love. Our service depends on his love, also. We need to feed our faith there if we are to serve him at all If any man serve me, let him follow me-" The way to serve Is to be a disciple; to sit at his feet, to learn of him. Before we can do his work we must drink of his spirit and let him teach us his secret. Before we can serve him we must be humble enough to let him serve us. Behold" said Thomas a Kempis, "all things are thine which have and whereby serve thee. And yet contrariwise thou rather servest me than I thee"
 This is the root of our faith, the source of our strength, and the very heart of our communion: Namely, that the Son of Man came not to be min istered unto but to minister There are other aspects of religion, the fight of faith, the witness to the truth, Chris tian service, and the whole issue in practice of Christian love, but this first, and this last, also, and this all the time, that our spiritual life de- bends utterly on Christ. Creep close to the warmth of his love; get near to the source of all your joy and ser vice Let the Son of Man minister to you, serve you with his own sweet courtesy.-Hugh Black, NJ. A.

EXPRESS cos. ARE LIABLE
Illinois Appellate Court Holds $50 Limit Is Illegal and Can Re-
 cover Full Value.

Chicago, Ill.-A ruling of impor- tance to shippers of goods via ex- press companies has been made by the appellate court. The court held that express companies are liable for the full value of goods which may be destroyed through the negligence of the company, rather than the arbitra- ry figure of $50 placed on all pack ages where the value is not stated by the shipper.
 The opinion was given in case ap- pealed from the municipal court, where Rodman B. Ellison and others of Philadelphia sued the Adams Ex- press company for $579.45 as the val ue of two bales of woolens which were destroyed by fire in one of the company's cars.

TRY GYROsCOPE GAR
Coach on Single Rail Tested in
 England.
inventors Idea Is to Carry Passengers on the Principle of Spinning Top--First Trial
 Success.

Manchester, Eng.--A 22-ton railway car 40 feet long, 13 feet high and 10 feet wide, mounted not on regular trucks but one single line of four wheels, with not support but that line of wheels. That's the first thing to picture. Then put 40 passengers inside the car and run the whole com bination around on a single rail at 25 miles or more an hour, and you have the spectacle that was presented be- fore the Royal Society of England sey- eral days ago on the war office grounds near Chatham. It was the first public demonstration of the full sized working model of the new gy- roscope car. first made public before the Royal society on May 8. 1907, by it's inventor, Louis Brennan, c. B.
 The demonstration was successful even beyond expectation. The car ran smoothly and without vibration, taking curves and irregularities in tho track with perfect safety and ab- solute stability, loaded or empty, fast or slow. There never was the least tendency on the part of the car to leave the rail. so perfect was the gyro- scope control. Two gyroscopes were used. weighing three-quarters of ton each, and making 5000 revolutions a minute in vacuum. A gasoline en- zine furnished the motive power through the means of an electric dy- Lamo. Mr. Brennan was overjoyed at finding that the stability of the gyro- scopic 1riEciple was even more marked in full-sized model than in a smaller one.
 The principle of the gyroscope is that of spinning top. Some thirty years ago MT. Brennan, who was then ir Australia, became beset with the idea that this principle could be ap- piled to railroad construction and op- eration in a way which would revolu- tionize land transportation all over the earth.
 It has always been known that on an ordinary two-railed track friction and jarring prevent the use of any but F per cent. of the total power de-

QUARTERLY
 REVIEW
Sunday School Lesson for Dec l9, 1909
Specially Arranged for This Paper

GOLDEN TEXT.-'T have fought good fight, have finished my course, I nave kept the faith."-2 Tim. Al.
 One of the most interesting of the general reviews may be made through references in literature to persons and events in the Acts
 LeS each scholar have a pencil and paper and note down that to which reference is made in the literary quo- tations read by the teacher.
 Or the references may be given to the class as a whole and the answers be made orally, each scholar contrib uting what he knows, till among them all the right answers may be obtained.
 The review beyond the above should take in the whole life of Paul.
 Extent of Time. From the conver- sion of Paul to his death at Rome, about 30 years. Give the dates.
 Early Biography. Tell all you can about Paul's early life. his relatives, his birthplace, education, experiences, how he came to be a foreign mission ary.
 Friends and Helpers, froIa the earl- lest time till his death.
 Pauls Travels, especially in his missionary work. Name the countries and the cities, tracing on the map his journeys, noting what he did in each place, particularly his success as a missionary.
 The Churches Founded by Paul and what he did for them.
 The Epistles He Wrote.
 His Experiences, as recorded by Luke and in his epistles.
 His Death at Rome
 His Chief Characteristics.
 The Motives and Truths which were the inspiration of his career as mis- sionary
 A Regular Examination of written answers to a select list of questions is always a most useful method of re- view, probably the best method in many cases.
 The Travel Club should meet at some home, and, with pictures, or sterescope and map, travel with St. Paul and look at scenes amid which he lived and worked.

BONlLLA, OUSTED LAST YEAR BY ZELAYA, STRIKES WHEN LAT
 TIERS HANDS ARE FULL.
INSURGENTS MAY BE DEFEATED
Rumor Of Nicaraguan Presidents Victory at Rama Not Credited At shington--Americans
 Are Amply Protected.

Washington, D. C.-The red flag of revoludtion was raised in Honduras, next door to Nicaragua, according to dispatch received by the state de- partment
 Manuel Bonilla, whom Zelaya oust- ed as President of Honduras two years ago, has seized the moment d Zelaya's weakness to head a reyolu- tionary force which seeks to over throw President Davilla, the man that Zelaya installed in Honduras.
 Martial law is declared in Hondu- ras. This government ordered the commander of the American war ves- sells in Central American waters to guard American interests in Hondu- ras, as we'll as Nicaragua. The American naval officers also have been directed to report the full ex- tent of the outbreak in Honduras by wireless.
 No more ships will be sent by the United States for the present.
 Our force of vessels and men in these waters now" said an officer of the bureau of navigation, "is ample to meet any emergency. We are pre- pared to protect foreign interests in Honduras as we'll as in Nicaragua"
 Bonilla, since his election from Honduras, has lived in British Hon. duras. He is regarded as an able man, and it is predicted here that an invasion on his part of his former country must have been carefully planned
 Rumors reaching the state depart ment told of victory of Zelaya's ar my over General Estrada near Rama The report is unconfirmed, and not believed because nothing is heard from the American ships at Grey town, Port Limon or Bluefields.
 Estrada's defeat would be unwel- come to this government It might require the sending of United States troops to occupy Nicaragua. Officials here still hope and believe that Gen eral Estrada will be strong enough to overcome Zelaya himself.

The Life in Christ,

q am come,'' said Christ, that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The world does not realize it--but ito live is Christ; that is, to know and serve Christ is really and truly to live; whereas the service of the world and self is mere existence. So far from being cramping. restrictive infu- enee, allegiance to Christ is an intro duction to an infinitely wider and full CT experience "All things are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ Is Gods" To see life in it's true sense is to realize its expanding possibilities as the grace of God enlarges it's scope. In the realm and service of God every thing abounds-loye abounds; grace abounds; life abounds.

CONGRESSIONAL

At the White House a conference was held which has an important bearing upon the legislative program for the present session of the pres ent congress. Vice-President Sher- man and Speaker Cannon were called in by the president, and they sent more than an hour, in consultation. It was learned that before he sent his message to congress President Taft sent copy to Speaker Cannon and told him that he would like to talk over with him some of the features. especially that in relation to amend ments to the interstate commerce law The speaker responded, and MT. Sher- man, who presides over the senate, was also invited The political sig nificance of the conference is given as the presidents desire to get the factions of the party to agree upon taking up some one piece of legisla- tlon and act upon it harmoniously
 The amendments to the interstate commerce act are regarded as one subject upon which this can be brought about, and it seems now that that will be the important business of the present session. It is believed that both the '.progressives" in the senate and the insurgents" in the house will agree to that statement, and will be willing to act harmoni- ously with the regulars of the Repus- GffU ho IA is believed, will be glad to take up consideration of this matter
 Senator Cummins of Iowa will in- troduce bill proposing many very radical changes in the interstate com merce act. In large sense the Cum mins measure is substitute for the present interstate commerce act
 It is expected that measure pro- posing amendments to the Interstate commerce law will be introduced by Senator Elkins, which will differ ma- terially from the proposed by of Sen ator Cummins in many important de- tails.
 A shocking story of the white slave traffic. it's widespread influence, it's degredation and its misery, is told in report submitted by the immigra- ation commission to congress. The commission is composed of three rep. resentatives and three senators and has had agents Investigating the prob lem in all parts of the country since 1907.
 A drastic proposition to meet the strike of the switchman on the rail- road lines entering St. Paul is made in bill, amending the Erdman act, which will be introduced by Repre- sentative Steenerson of Minnesota, providing for receiverships of the roads involved, if necessary The bill gives United States courts full juris- diction. It also amends the Erdman law so as to allow the courts to fix the compensation of members of the arbitration boards in cases of unusual importance.

Three Storm Victims.

Chicago, Ill.-Heavy snow. accom- panied by lower temperature, and a 35-mile-an-hour wind, swept over Chicago and the surrounding terri tory, bringing death to three persons in this city and seriously hampering transportation on steam roads and suburban lines. One man was found dead from cold and exposure and two men, blinded by snow, were run over by trains. The snowfall in this city was four inches, and reports from out side points told of 15 inches. with heavy drifts in railroad cuts.

NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHES AF- FiDAvITS OF SEA PILOT AND
 INSURANCE MAN.
THEY WERE ID RECEIVE s4,000
Captain Claims That He Provided Ex- plorer With Observations for Mar rative-But S26o Paid on
 Agreed Sum.

New York City-The New York Times publishes affidavits from Cap tain August w. Loose, who says he is pilot and navigator of ocean going steamships, and George H. Dun kle, an insurance broker, who claim to have been hired by Doctor Frederick A. Cook to supply books and charts whereby his data and observations in the Arctic were to be so doc tored" that they would be accepted by the University of Copenhagen.
 The affidavits in effect are that Doctor Cook engaged the two men to fake" the report he mas submitted to Copenhagen. promising them $4,00O for the job; that he paid them s260, and then disappeared. The story told by the Times in part follows:
 "The New York Times presents herewith the remarkable narrative of two men, made under, oath, declaring that they were employed by Doctor Frederick A. Cook to fabricate astro- nomical and other observations for submission to the University of Copen- hagen.
 These men are George H. Dun kle, an insurance broker, of No. 31 Nassau street, New York, and Cap tain August Loose, sea captain. of No. 437 Thirteenth street, Brooklyn. For their labors they were to have received jointly from Doctor Cook 4 urifh odd of $500 to Captain Loose upon the ac- ceptance of the records by the Uni versity of Copenhagen.
 "They say that Doctor Cook had paid them only s26o when he disap- peared on the eve of the dispatch of his records to Copenhagen, two weeks ago, and his failure to pay the sum remaining due them, they freely acknowledged to be their motive for coming forward with the story.
 "The Times has followed the steps described by these two men and has verified their goings and comings, their purchases of books and charts and the fact of their intimate rela- ations with Doctor Cook. Whether 
 the observations calculated by Captain Loose and supplied, as he al leges, to Doctor Cook, were adopted by the latter and made a part of his report to the University of Copen- hagen, it is, of course, impossible to say without a comparison of Captain Looses narrative with that report.
 "The main facts of Captain Looses story and MT. Dunkle's have been communicated to the University of Copenhagen, and the university, if it wishes, can have the corroborative documents The Times has received from these two men. One of these purports to be Doctor Cooks memo randum directing the preparation of observations from Svartevaag, all the way to the pole. The others comprise a mass of diagrams and calculations prepared byCaptain Loose"

The Gyroseope Car.

veloped by locomotive. The two it has safety limit of speed ct about seventy-two miles an hour, after which spreading of rails and breaking of wheel flanges become not only DOS sible, but probable, except in those cases where the equipment is kept at it7 highest state of perfection. It was this that led to the development of the monorail, a ,single-railed overhead track from which the cars were sus- pended Not only was a great deal of friction thus overcome, but many of l4e common dangers were entirely done away -ttf Nevertheless, the suspende1 type of mor orail was not rfect It had dangers of its own, and besides this the cos. of construc- ton was immense.
 It was figured that if a single rail could only be laid on the ground and a car or train run over it railway con- struction would almost be made per lection. With a rail on the ground. however, the center of gravity would necessarily be above the line Jf sup port, and gravity was one thing which man had never yet successfully over come. Slowly the idea of the spin ming top and then of the gyroscope worked itself out in the mind of the inventor.
 Louis Brennan was the inventor of the Brennan torpedo, controlled by the British war department, and as he had been through some practical me chanical experience he started in to develop the gyrosoopo car. Ana in May, 1907, he made his irvention pub lie.

Evidence of the Fathers Love.

.
 We ought not to be surprised at the coming of sorrow or suffering. It is a part of our common lot, to be ac- cepted esrdidly and to be borne brave ly. Let nsne of us conclude in con- sequence of pain that God is not good. that He is not wise, and that He has ceased to love His child, for nothing could be farther from the fact He is the sum of all that Is good. His plans never miscarry, and sorrow is to the child of God an exalted evidence of the Fathers love.
