THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE :


The desire of knowledge is a wholly
praiseworthy ambition, but it should
be gratified by reflection as well as by
experiment The first electric telegraph
in Persia was put in operation by the
English government, and L. S. Ander-
son was sent out as superintendent of
the line in the earlier years of its SER
vice. AT that time the Persians knew
nothing Of electricity. In his book,
My Wanderings in Persia" Mr.. Ander-
son tells how one inquisitive citizen Of
that land gained his first impression of
this wonderful force in nature. The
occasion offered was the bringing of an
invitation to a marriage feast at the
house of the local governor
The old governor himself brought the
invitation. He was accompanied by a
few of the principal villagers, whose
black eyes beamed with curiosity as
they wandered from one object to an
other in my coy little bungalow. An
English clock, my rifle, and few pic
lures hanging on the mud walls were
y
large medicine chest and the tele-
graphic apparatus were. to their af-
frighted minds. objects of mystic
majesty.
One, more courageous than the rest,
yet with apparent timidity, crossed the
room to where the apparatus stood, and
cautiously examined the screws and
brass work of the battery connections.
Emboldened by success, he ventured
with both hands to prosecute his search
after knowledge more infinitely. For
some time he did not happen to touch
more than one terminal At last. how
ever, thinking probably that he had be-
come considerably advanced in the sci
ence of electricity. he grasped with both
hands the two screws from which flows
the electric current A sudden yell
from the pursuer of knowledge and a
burst of laughter from me were the
next items of the program
The man. rather crestfallen, resumed
his seat and in an aweStricken tone
told his companions of the numerous
stars which he had seen and of the ter
rIble bite which he had received at the
moment when he touched those curious
bits of brass.
In vain did I endeavor to convince
them that the bite" was nothing more
than the combined action of two metals
immersed in 4 fluid. The one who was
a victim to his own inquisitive mind
firmly believes to this day that the bat
terry box IS tenanted by genii, in whom
the Persians have great credui,fy.

champagne at IS a bottle or at the
price of elaborate hospitality. I knew
a man who spent half a fortune in
buying friends. Yet doubt If he could
count upon their coming to his funeral
unless they were assured of a wine
supper. Friendship can neither be
cajoled nor bribed. What we win bY
such frank commercial methods IS
merely husk. Real friendship never
crosses the doorsill of any life, save
his who has paid for it an inward
price.
Pleasure also has it's outside and its
inside A child gets the outside of
pleasure when he possesses a multitude
of toys, and is not amused by any Of
them. He has gotten the inwardness
of pleasure when, by virtue of happy
heart, he finds happiness in the sim
plest flower or toy. The fault of our
pleasure-loving age is not that it seeks
pleasure, but that it concerns itself
with the lesser gifts Of joy. Real joy
is of the heart 1t is never born of
multitude Of scenes, or a multiplicity
Of sensations. He who cannot find ma
terial for happiness in his own garden,
in some choice book or in a little group
of friends viii never find it by going
abroad for it.
Goodness also has its outside and it's
inside Responsibility is the shell of
goodness manhood is it's soul. But, by
an inyeterate practice most people are
still chiefly concerned with the exter-
nails of goodness Pharisaism is by no
means an ancient spirit. 1t is as mod
ern as this morning. Men still broaden
their phylacteries instead of their
souls. A man can only weigh what he
is, whether on Fairbanks scale, or
in the scales of eternity Not the form,
but the force of goodness not the shell,
but the strength Of truth; not the pre-
tense, but the power Of a good life, is
the real thing.
l was amused at the evident disgust
of one of our Central Park squirrels.
He had seized eagerly the empty shell
which had been flung him. But after
satisfying himself that the shell was
empty he turned angrily away To
such chagrin multitudes come at length.
The cry of Ecclesiastes is a specimen
cry of disappointed manhood No man
can really feed his life on externals.
We need to be sure that the shell In
cludes the kernel of Joy, else "all Is
vanity and vexation of spirit"

FOES TO THE FLAG.
BY Rev. Ira W. Henderson


Text-"In the name Of our God we
VIII set up our banners. Psalm Xxx 20
The flag Of America is the symbol of
her conception and Of her progress
Its stars and stripes and field of blue
bear eloquent though silent testimony
to the method of her making, the char
acter of her sons and the influences
that have initiated for all that Is best
In her national life The flutter Of the
nations ensign finds responsive pulse
within our hearts, For the flag type
ties the soul of the people, the hope of
the nation, the sacrifice of the host
who, living and dead, have poured out
upon the altar of true devotion to
this land of promise a need of service,
for the welfare of the country and the
glory of Almighty God.
No true patriot is he who can gaze
upon the beauty of "Old Glory" with,
out pride and warming heart For
every star has a history and tells a
mighty story; every ruddy stripe is
dyed in the running fountain of a
loyalty and willing sacrifice the like of
which history cannot surpass; every
bar of white reveals the purity Of the
limpid, true ideals that run, though
often hidden, at the core and center of
our nations life. We are entering the
sublime age of human history, And
America stands in the vanguard of
progression. OF our coming eminence
we may but dream. No prophecy is to
be ignored, for no prophecy can tell
the half of the glory God will reveal in
and through America in the coming
days If we guard our hearts from evil,
our minds from wllful error, and our
flag from shame.
There is prevalent inclination to
forget and to dismiss religion. M
theory of government, no system OF
economics, no discipline of philosophy,
can endure wholesomely and vigorous
ly except there be foundations laid In
the religious consciousness of man. Nc
nation can realize its greatness. rs can
no individual, without God. In Him
we live and move and have our being.
He is the source of all light and prog.
ress. Ecclesiasticism may misrepre-
sent Him as IL has aforetime done
But let us never forget Him. He is
our shield, our defence, our guide and
our friend, In the day that America
forgets Jesus let America place her
flag at half mast. For in His truth lies
her greatness and In the appropriation
Of Him by the nation lies the hope OF
the ages that are yet to come.

Southern Immigration.

Those who would promote the move
ment Of immigration 10 Southern States
will find interest in a British consular re-
port upon that effort at dlverting the in
comers from the ports OF arrival The
report admits that the climate is not un-
suitable for white labor, save perhaps in
the west belt OF the Carolinas and GeOr-
gia, and recognition is made OF the good
wages offered and the moderate price Of
food. The report points out that white
laborers would be brought into contact
with negroes. Its general conclusion is
that the condition OF British immigrants
in the South is not unsatisfactory. But
this official statement concludes with the
caution that the entire question OF South
ern immigration is still in the experimental
stage. and that its success depends upon
its handling by responsible state govern
ments. rather than by private associa-
tions or special combinations OF manufae-
turers.
That is not a view OF the effort to d.
vert the incoming flow OF labor toward
the cotton States that Is sufficiently at
tractive 10 relieve Northern cities from
any Of the pressure OF immigration. In
fact. the general impression conveyed TO
the. reader on the other side Of the At
