SUNDAY MORNING TALK
ANOTHER BATCH OF HEROES.

I always like to look over the list of awards from the Carnegie Hero fund to men and women in different parts of the country. The very reading of the names of persons and circum- stances creates series of inspiring pictures. The latest selection, for ex- ample, includes fifty whose meritorious and gallant behavior at critical mo ments fairly entitled them to prizes aggregatong Ss.000. A large number rescued others from drowning. One ventured into the burning hold of a vessel and brought back to the deck unconscious workmen injured by an explosion. One sought to detach fel- low lineman from dangerous electric wire. Several snatched grown people or little children from the railway tracks in season to escape the on- coming locomotives. And of the en- tire number of fifty heroes fourteen lost their lives while performing their Yalorous deeds.
 Fortunately their relatives are not overlooked in the distribution of re- wards.

But something more tha nan excit- ina chapter out of contemporaneous American life is sketched in outline by such a thrilling report as this. It starts several interesting trains of thought. What made them all ready to risk, and in some cases to lose their lives in behalf of others? Had they been doing this sort of thing right along, or were they sudden and un- usual outbursts of the heroic spirit? :? Will they continue to be heroes in days to come or will some of them, elated by their honors and prizes be- ways spondingly? Would we have done as they did had we been in their places? Were they most of them just ordinary men and women like ourselves, on moderate salaries, with no great pretensions to piety2 If they had up to the moment of their he roic action been considered rather commonplace individuals will this one bright deed put them on pedestal for all time in the eyes of their friends and neighbors? If possibly some of them, up to this time, have had a rather checkered career will one brave act redeem their past?
 I have asked more questions than I have time or space or wit to answer. But I must ask one more for which have a ready reply. Did they do it for the Carnegie award or to be seen of men? No, indeed. Not one of them was thus actuated. This is my belief, though I have no absolute specific proof. But their heroism would be robbed of all it's glory had it been in the case of any measured, calculating service.

Who can think for an instant that those brave miners at Cherry, H., who regardless of themselves, went down into that foul pit in the hope of saving their suffocating companions had any other motive than the desire to save useful lives on whose daily earnings other lives depended?
 The charm and fragrance that in- here in a heroic act lies in the utter unconsciousness and disinterestedness of the one who does 1t The motor man who told me the other cold night that the reason why he wore no over coat was that he wanted his sister to have an education and the "old folks" to have a few extra comforts now winter is at hand was not posing or asking for my sympathy or aims or those of anyone else. He is a self respecting independent American citi- zen and I wormed the facts out of him by diligent questioning.
 He who. measures up to the duty of tho moment and who does it for others is the hero, Carnegie award or no Carnegie award. Our chance at that hero fund Is very slight. Drowning people do not come our way very oft- en. The fires are usually out before we arrive on the scene. But the chance to be a real hero comes within our reach daily.

What do you suppose the reason is that people do not do as we think they should do? If they only would, how much happier life would be-for us. We do not know that it would be any happier for them. We only think that it might be. and we are as liable to be wrong as right in this conclusion. If half the world should be given their way it seems to me as if the other half would have something to laugh at all of the time. We are so human that we sometimes pray for conditions which would upset us if our prayers were answered and we had them sud- denly thrust upon. us. What we win we are entitled to, and what we long rcame easy. What We think others should do is an assumption usually that needs foundation, and it is lucky for us that it is never realized.
 1t seems paradoxical to say that idle curiosity is always busy; but it has in our day won fame, for bothering the busy man by calling him to the tele- phone. Curiosity will prompt us to find out something of no special use to us and to work more persistently to do it than we ever worked for dollar we needed. We become curious about mat ters which should not concern us and when We find out q batch of them we become gossipy. This is the way great many people get so much to talk about that is of so little consequence and so much that is not so. Curiosity has got more than one fox In a trap, and more than one dog in the pound A sure cure for this is the habit of giving strict attention to affairs which concern us. A good many years ago I put curiosity into my pocket and have kept 1t there ever slnce-get the best of 1t or it will get the best of you.

ChamberIain'S Liniment.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable
as cure for chronic and muscular
rheumatism, and for the relief from
pain which it affords in acute in
flammatory rheumatism. Those who
have used it have invariably spoken
of it in the highest terms of praise.
Lame back, lame shoulder and stiff
neck are due to rheumatism of the
muscles, usually brought on by ex-
posture to cold or damp, and are quick
ly cured by applying this liniment
freely and massaging the affected
parts. Soreness of the muscles,
whether induced by violent exercise
or injury, is allayed by this liniment.

WORK OF BAPTIsTs
In Kentucky Interesting Sta
tistics by Secretary State
Board of Missions.

Frankfort. KY, May DIR. w. ID.
Powell, secretary of the State Board
o! Baptists Missions, who stopped off
here recently to see the local pastor,
the Rev. M. B. Adams, gave out some
interesting statistics of the work
which his denomination has done in
Kentucky, and by the help of the
kentucky church during the past year.
lie says that the missionaries Of the
State Mission Board received into Bap
lists churches during the year more
than 5000 members. The churches
raised during the year, which ended
April 80, for foreign missions, $751;
525.54; for home missions, $23, 636.74;
for State missions, $3,SS757; for the
church building fund, $13,7S6.o9; total
for 'the year, S,J45.94, as against
SSA,7O2 last year.
Dr. Powell says that the statistics
show that Kentucky is the third
strongest Baptist State in the union,
only Texas and Georgia eXcelling the
denomination in Kentucky in strength.
About 10000 new members were re-
ceived by baptism in this State dur
ing the year ending May so, 1908, and
the number for this year will be much
in excess of that.
