"A MAN AS A STORM CENTER.

Everybody faces trouble some time.
Itsmay be only a@little trouble, but II
1t seems big, the problem is the same.
The stronger the person the greater
and more numerous his troubles. Out
ward serenity of life, and freedom
from soul-turmoil, are goals which all
who would live nobly must resign.
The tempests of truth are better than
the ease of error. Whoever follows
the knightly Christ must share the
turmoil and tumult of which he was,
and is, the center An exciting ex-
perience of the apostle Paul brings
the Sunday schools face to face with
the question of how to behave in trou-
BILE.
Arrnan is bigger than a nsountasn; a
soul Is greater than storm A9} we
read this dramatic narrative paul S
experience in a fierce Northeaster, we
note that it is he, and not the ripping
roaring, resistless winds; or the
whelming waves, that commands our
attention The mariner is of more in
terest than the tempest. Tbs strug-
giles of a human spirit aT9 more abb
sorbing than all the fury ref the .ele-
ments. This great Mediterranean hur-
ricane seems to have as it's center the
mild hammered little Jew, with eyes
like Goals of fire, who had likewise
been the center of many stormy hui
mansscenes.
May Man Turn Sour?
1t is not the troubles that come to
us that count but the way we meet
them. For a first Office of tribulation
is to serve as trials-testings-
character. Into the human junk heap
of useless tools must go the man who
whimpers and lies down at the first
start of hardship, wailing continual
Iy thereafter his grievance into the
ears of all who can be made to hear
1t. There is no more sensible test OF
Pauls real size than the fact that he
never whined or complained about his
troubles. He had enough, surely;
but he did not turn sour. He kept his
faith in men, and in God. The victim
of piled-up unjustices, he remained
throughout suave and smiling gentle
man. He was good company even fol
his jailers. Note how cordial is his
relationship with Captain Julius, or
this eventful voyage. Incidentally, il
secured for Paul the special considera
tion which dignifed courtesy usually
wins.
The actual events of the voyage are
best told in the words Of Luke. Aftel

Paul was sent towards Rome, at tht
first opportunity. One ship carried

lived a big, vigorous life that went
deep and reached far. A few years ago
he was slain by the natives of tribe
whom he was visiting for the first time
with the Gospel.
Back of the murders of missionaries
in the South Sea may be discerned the
picture of the white trader, whose
abus> of the natives led them to fear
and to hate all white men. Thus, the
n0ole Bishop Patterson died as a re-
eut of traders ruse. They had rig
ged and painted their ship in imita-
ton of his. and stolen some natives
and sold them into slavery Then, when
the Bishops ship came along it was
attacked in mistake for the traders.
John Williams, and the other mar
tyrs who lived great lives and won a
glorious death in bearing the cross to
the Islands, have a share in all the
successes of the Gospel that now make
radiant those places once dark.
1t is only because Hawaii was a mis-
sion made land that it could be taken
into the Federal Union Of States and
Territories.
Massachusetts sent missionaries to
Hawaii; today Hawiian is preach
ing in one of the decadent Massachus-
etts towns. Such are the dramatic con-
sequences of missions: the Gospel sent
forth as salvation, returns to the send
er in service.

DAILY LETTER AND QUOTATIONS FROM
 WILSON s CASH

BOSTON, June 5.--The market open. ed this morning comparatively dull, but with strong undertone. After the first hour good buying orders all through the list and the close was very strong. Amalgamated was again the feature in New York and was talked of for five point rise next week. The Boston mar ket has not yet shown much activity, but people are gradually getting conf dence and we expect next week to sec 8 strong advancing market in all cop pers. The Copper Producers report is expected in a few days and will un- doubtedly show material reduction of surplus, and reports to hand indicate that the consumers and manufacturers are using raw material on q very much larger scale than heretofore. North Butte looks better around this figure than for some time and can be bought for quick turn. The ten-point break in "Mass' discounted bad news from the property, aud there ought to be q turn for two or three points in buying it. The new Hayden-Stone issues, Gila and Chino, were in active demand all day, but the demand was well supplied, and no new strength was developed. There was no change ip the metal quotations.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.--Follow- ing the presentation of the gold medal to the city of San Francisco by the re- public of France, Ambassador Jusser- and, who represented his nation in the ceremonies accompanying the gift, was entertained tonight at a municipal ban auet given in the white and gold room of the Fairmont hotel. The room was splendidly decorated with the entwined flags of France and the United States, and the walls were banked with gorge ous California blossoms. A unique feature was the presence of women at the banquet table, and among the four hundred guests at least half were of the fair sex.
 Besides Governor Gillett, and May or Taylor there was large representa- tion of federal, state and municipal of. fcials. Speeches were made by Gov ernor Gillett and Mayor Taylor lauda- tory of France and her representative, and the reply of the ambassador was a warm tribute to the city.

GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, June 5.-Wheat was weak early in consequence of the gen eral selling brought out by good weather in this country and Canada and by the heaviness of the Liverpool grain markets. During the last half of the day, however, the July delivery developed considerably strong, but the market continued weak all day. There was an active demand for the cash grain and the market was strong, No. 2 red being 160. July ranged between 1ls and llS and closed irregular at 1lS 7-S to ll9.
 A decline of 3-4 in the price of corn caused considerable profit taking in that ntarket, which resulted in a heavy tone all day. Tho market closed weak at almost the bottom, the close show ing net losses of Is to 3-S.

 Worse than that, the class of gam bling which is no won and will continue to be in effect for several weeks, can not be stopped by all the marshals, constables and deputy sheriffs in the territory.
