Vienna, Jan. 12.-It is felt here that

tria- Hungary and Turkey may have an
irritating effect on the other countries
concerned in the near east difficulty
According to reports that have come
into Vienna, Servia and Montenegro re-
sent the fact that they were not consid-
cred in the arrangement, and they may
be expected to raise objections But the
agreement between the two principal
powers has made war today a more re-

the annexation.

TURKEY TAKES

War Over Provinces Grabbed

Powers Can Now Confer.

Constantinopie, Jan. 12-The Turkish
government accepts the Austro-H Hun
garian offer of the 100000 Turkish
($10, 500. 000) indemnity for the annexa-
ton of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus
removing every possibility of war. The
grand vizier, Kiamil Pasha, received
Marquis Pallavicini, the Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador, at noon to-day, and
notified him of the decision Of the Coun-
Gil of ministers
This direct arrangement between the
two principals clears the way for con-
ference of the signatories of the Berlin
treaty, which. it is presumed here, will
without doubt approve Of a settlement
agreeable to Turkey.

Did you ever try to get through a
dense throng of people to the speak
ers' stand where you had an engage
ment to speak or sing or ofticiate?
In the beginning it may have seemed
q near impossibility to get to your
place. but
You began to push gently on the out
skirts of the crowd. You were good
humored. but persistent. Little by lit
tie you obtruded yourself wedgelike
into the mass. Little by little the peo-
pie gave way.
Some might glare at you for your
apparent rudeness and give way grddg-
ingly, even complainingly. Others were
pleasant and accommodating.
1t was not sufficient to Indicate your
desire to reach the platform. You
needed to accompany explanations
with a push-not discourteous push.
but persistent one.
Well
SO is getting on in the world.
If you would reach the place select
ed by yon ns your place you must pass
through and push aside lot of peo-
pie.
They are in your way.
And they are n multitude.
If you do not push they will not
bulge. IL you merely explain without
pushing you will get nowhere. 1t is q
case where mere politeness and soft
words will accomplish nothing.
Know this-that, however close and
compact the mass may seem, Ii you
will insist and persist and keep on
gently pushing toward the goal the

TIE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

One of the biggest things In this big
country Of big dollars and big enter
prises--and one of the best Of the big
things-is the institution known as the
Sunday school,
How many officers ard teachers,
mostly adults, do you suppose are en-
gagged In the Sunday school enterprise
in this country?
According to the census, an army of
1.45D.535 persons teach and officiate.
And the pupils7 When the figures
are Quoted they ire so urge as almost
to stagger belief These figures are
12.272,6 57i
Spell out the .enumeration-twelv
million two hundred and seventy-two
thousand six hundred and fifty-seyenl
THAT is to say, one OF every six Of
our entire population. and comprising
those of plastic minds and future pos
sibilities, is engaged one day In every
seven in studying the Scriptures and
the tenets of the Christian faith.
Besides there liz the literature of the
Sunday schools.
What is known as the international
Sunday School Series. consisting of
the lesson leatlet and lesson comment,
has weekly circulation of more than
half biIlionl
This same lesson is printed also In
thousands of newspapers throughout
the country and is esteemed popular
feature. The aggregate circulation Of
the Sunday school literature is beyond
computation.
Measured in dollars7
Well, here Is one institution that
puts the human above the dollar. Yet
the yearly receipts In money will run
up into the millions. If each pupil
were to contribute only penny at
each session the receipts would ex.
coed $e.O0O,000. While the figures are
not at hand, it is believed that the
schools in the United States alone coli
lect and pay out hundred million dol
lars d year
But citizenship is more than dollars.
And these schools are exclusively en-
gagged In making good citizens.
A million and a. half consecrated
men and women teach more than IL
100000 children every Sunday the
great ethical doctrines Of Christianity.
Thousands of future citizens get ell
their moral teaching from this source.
It IL a big thing. one of the biggest
OF all modern enterprises.
Do not regard the Sunday school as
an inconsequential factor or neglect II
because you may think It OF minor
consequence.
I II is big and good and good only.
