Home Herald.
One of the parties of missionaries
who sailed abroad a year or two ago
to convert the heather through the
miraculous gift of tongues has come
back. The party consisting OF few
men and women and a number Of
young girls, went TO India where
they suffered every conceivable hard
ship. Without food, unable to OBJ
tain work, finding their gift Of
tongues pure illusion, they wander
ed up and down until three Of the
girls sold themselves into harems III
pure despair, and the balance OF the
party broke up and returned as best
they could. One, q young girl Of
eighteen, who looks fifty" finally
succeeded in making her way to
this country to tell her story and
confess that the gift OF tongues
was not from GOD, but from the
devil. No comment can make the
lesson OF this incident more clear.
God does not send His workers into
foreign fields without means Of
support to break down physically and
morally and bring q reproach on all
missionary effort. He does not
make revelations which are so alb
surdly at variance with common

Conclusion.

Speaking generally. the country Is
in u high state Of prosperity. There Is
every reason to believe that we are on
the eve Of substantial business ex-.
pansion, and We have just garnered q
harvest unexampIed in the market VAL
ne Of our agricultural products. The.
high prices which such products bring
mean great prosperity for the farming
community; but. on the other hand
they mean a very considerably increas-.
ed burden upon those classes In the,
community whose yearly compensation.
does not expand with the improvement
IN business and the general prosperity.
Various reasons are given for the high
prices. The proportionate increase in
the output Of gold. which today is the
chief medium Of exchange and Is In
some respects measure of value. fur.
nishes a substantial explanation OF Mt
least part Of the increase in prices.
The increase in population and the
more expensive mode Of living Of the
people. which have not been accom-
panied by proportionate Increase In
acreage production. may furnish a fur.
Their reason. It IS well to note that the
increase in the cost Of living Is not
confined to this country. but prevails
the world over, and that those who
would charge increases IN prices to the
existing protective tar1n must meet
the tact that the rise IN prices has
taken place almost wholly in those
products OF the factory and farm IN
respect to which there has been either
no increase IN the tarin or in many,
Instances a very considerable reduc--.

Conservation of Natural Resources.
In several departments there Is pre-
Sented the necessity for legislation
looking to the further conservation Of
our national resources. and the sub
ject is one Of such importance as to.
require more detailed and extended
discussion than can be entered upon
in this communication. For that rea-
son shall take an early opportunity
to send 4 special message to congress.

irreparable injury would result from

ANTITRUST and Interstate Commerce

The jurisdiction OF the general gov

led to the passage OF the 80 called
