OBJECT TO MANN BILL
Minority Report in Congress Likely
to Cause More Than a
Ripple.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Mann bill
for the reorganization Of the govern
ment of Panama canal zone, reported
favorably by the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce, before
the house last week will meet with Op-
position in the form of a minority re-
port by three Democratic members of
the committee,
Representative Richardson OF Alaba-
ma is drafting a report, which viii be
signed by himself and Representatives
Bartlett of Georgia and Peters of
Massachusetts.
1t is improbable that the opposition
of minority members of the committee
will cause more than a ripple.
The objection TO the Mann bill is
that, placing the Panama government
in the hands of q director general, with
unlimited powers, as is proposed, would
be a subversion of representative gov
eminent Objection is also made that
the abolition of the Panama court Of
three judges and the substitution of a
court composed of a single judge, from
whose decision there would be no ap-
peal, excepting in case Of capital pun
ishment or Imprisonment for life, would
pave the way for a tyrannical admins
tratiOn of Justice.

Paul's Discovery

There are many things that the world
can attain to without any special and
manifest help from God. Paul would not
discount for moment the great achie-e-
ments of mans mind and hand. He
would simply say that knowledge Of God
and fellowship with Him are not to be
reached in that way. We do not come into
way as we learn mathematics or invent
an aiTship.
There have been many efforts, direct
and indirect, TO know God. But, if UNI
aided by the living God Himself, they
have all failed. The course of history Is
strewn with the wreckage of religions
and PHILOSOPHERS which tried to find God
and failed. But Christ has revealed Him
TO US.
why is this unaided search so vaing
First, because the knowledge of God is
Of a superior order and must be revealed
TO us. We can receive it as a child re-
ceives an idea from his teacher hut
would not be able to arrive at 1t without
assistance. Then, sin has further de
strOyed mans ability to know of his own
accord his Creator. Sinful man can co..
ceive Of gods. but not of the hoy God
But does ii make any great difference
whether we know God or nOt2 The very
coming of Christ emphasizes our need Of
God. costing all that His coming did,
knowledge of God is not a neutral
sort Of thing. tt has a positive, power
ful influence over the life and conduct
general. 1t puts a perfect ideal before us
and works within us toward the attain
ing of that ideal and all this comes
through Christ alone. And all Of this
eliminates in everlasting salvation. That
is why the world needed Him.

ROOSEVELT IS IN
INTERESTING LAND
KSumu to Present Novelties in
Welcoming Distinguished
American Party.

KisumU, British East Africa, Nov. H.
! Kisumu, or Port Florence, where Colonel
Roosevelt and his party are to spend at
least a day, is situated on the shores of
Victoria Nyanza lake, at the end of
kavirondo gulf. 1t is the terminus Of the
railway and rises $500 feet above sea
level
Kisumu possesses a drydock the alti-
tude of which is the highest in the world.
AS the train nears its destination, the
wonderful beauties Of the huge inland
sea are disclosed. The water stretches
for forty miles TO the mouth of the kavi-
rondo gulf and on all sides are huge
mountains.
An extraordinary mixture of races will
be there to welcome the Roosevelt party
Europeans i'm smart ducks, Indians,
GOanese. Eurasians, half-breed Europeans
and Indians, Swahalis, Arabs, Nandi,
IumbWa, KavirOndO, Wakamba and 9TH
eTs too numerous to mention. The ar
rival of the train is a tri-Weekly event Of
great Importance and the passengers it
will carry on this particular occasion
make it dOubly so.
There are two curses in Kisumu-the
sleeping sickness and intermittent out
breaks of bubOnic plague. Europeans
seem to be immune, as so far there have
been no reports of Europeans suffering
from either in this place.
The native market is an ever-prosent
source of interest to the traveller, and it
is a wonderful sight TO see the hundreds
of naked men and women engaged in
ardent barter. The foOdstuffs are not al
ways of the best, ana at times the
OdOrs are almost unbearable.
Small Territory.
The Kisii country is only fourteen by
ten miles in extent and forms part of
the vast KisUmu province. This small
area was little known until after a punt
tive force had been sent up there in
January, 1905, to settle with the natives
for an attack made on the district COM
missioner when out tax collecting.
The country is densely populated by a
tribe which appears TO be an OffshOOt
Of the Nasal race, interbTed with the
KaVirOndO tribes They are fierce and
practically uncivIliZed.
In 1905 the government sent an armed
patrol of $50 Kings African Rifles through
the country under the command Of Major
jenkins. Before that time the Kisii had
barely seen a white man. They attacked
the patrol in camp and charged right up
to the zareba with reckless daring. de-
spite the terrific fire from the troops.
Scores Of the natives fell, and the patrol
was permitted to finish its survey Of the
country.
Numerous attacks have been made in
this region upon British officials Last
year one, accompanied by six armed DO
lice, was speared by a warrior, who was
hiding behind bush Later If was
learned that a witch doctor had ordered
the native to spear the official as she
wanted to see the last Of the white men
in her district.

WHY HAS WORLD A
NEED FOR CHRIST?
Christmas Theme Outlined in
Sermon by the Rev. Her
bert E. Hays.
SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE
COMING OF SAVIOR FURNISHED
ANSWER TO PROBLEM.

Taking as his theme, why Did the
World Need Christi" the Rev. Herbert
z. Hays preached an eloquent pre-Christ-
mas sermon yesterday morning at the
Third Presbyterian church. Mr.. Hays
took his text from I Corinthians 1;2l,
THE world through its wisdom knew not
Cod Following are excerpts from his
sermon:
Paul understood pre-Christian history
He knew whether God had been fully
known before Christ came AND manifest
ed Him. He had studied Israelitish his
tory and knew that the Jews acQuaint-
anCe with God was only preparatory and
what had now come with Christ. He had
studied the history of other nations and
knew that their conception of God and
relations with Him were far more defi-
cient than that of the Jews. His hist0r-
zeal studies led him to believe that man
could not of his own efforts find God.
"Paurs experience confirmed his his
torical research. He had never known
God in fullness until Jesus revealed God
TO him. As a Christian he now had a
proper conception Of God and a real fell
lOWshiD with Him: but he did not find
God So much as God found him, Jesus
came 10 reveal the Father and Jesus had
come into PauFs life.
