specimens and shipping them to Amer
lea will be paid out of fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One of the objects of Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip is for the purpose
of collecting material for writing sew
eral books regarding his experiences.
During last summer he contracted with
Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York,
giving that firm all the rights for the
serial and book-form publication OF
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. It is said that the contract
price agreed upon is 81 per word,
but this never has been verified.
Game Not to Be Butchered.
Even if the British colonial govern
ment should offer to throw open to Mr..
Roosevelt and his companions the At
rican game preserves under its con-
troll, the ex-president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing of animals for
sport is not the main object of his trip.
Mr. Roosevelt hopes to send back to
the Smithsonian institution two adult
specimens, one of each sex, and a
specimen of their young, of animals
he meets with on the Dark Continent.
Beyond this the killing will be linn
tied to the demands of the commits
sary.

accompany Mr.. Roosevelt. Secretary
Walcott of the Smithsonian institu-
ton chose some Of the best naturalists
in the country. Their chief. Maj.

SERMoNETTE.

If as some of the best Bible
scholars believe there was
period of IL years between the
building of the wall OF Jerusa-
lem and its dedication, it is evi.
dent that the enemies of Nehe-
miah were able to delay, but not
prevent, the final contamination
of the splendid mission for
which the devout Jew had set
himself apart.
We discuss this one uncertain
point of the book of Nehemiah
in our next weeks story. Here
we are to consider some of the
lessons to be learned.
A stronger and more deter
mined man than Nehemiah
might have accepted the long
delay and hindrance as evidence
that the work had been in vain,
after all, and that there was no
use struggling against such op-
position.
But not so Nehemiah. The
faith which had given him the
strength to begin the work in
the face of seemingly insur-
mountabIe obstacles was the
same faith which kept him
steadfastIy looking to the fu-
ture when the way would open
for his return to Jerusalem.
There is no doubt that the
enemies of Nehemiah tried to
poison the mind of the king
with the thought that Nehemiah
was building the wall for per-
sonaI gain, and that he might
set himself up in city and
kingdom of his own.
And perhaps during those
long years of delay the king was
testing Nehemiah out and striv-
ing to satisfy his own mind that
the charges which had been
made against his cupbearer
were groundIess. And he wait
ed and at last the way opened
up and the great dedication day
came.
But he who is commissioned
of God to the accomplishment of
a GREAT work can wait with rare
grace, knowing that ultimately
the will of God will prevail.
Just as Nehemiah went about
the building of the wall so did
he GO about the dedication.
Everything must be done in or
der and according to the law
of his God.
Here again we see the rare
grace and strength of the man
as he carefully works out the
details of all that great cere-
mony and it's accompanying re-
form in the temple worship. He
had no selfish ends to serve,
nor pet ideas to carry out. His
work was to do Gods will.

THE STORY.
T LAST"

At LAST"
"A Nehemiah uttered the words half
as prayer of thanksgiving, and half
as an exclamation of surprise. He
knew the time was coming when he
should return to Jerusalem, but when
the word had finally come from the
king that he should prepare to return
it came almost as surprise to him.
Twelve years before he had made
the journey to Jerusalem, and during
two exciting, strenuous months he had
labored and caused the people to rear
the walls of Jerusalem. More than
once during that period had his life
been endangered, and many times did
1t seem that the people would cease
the work because of fear of attack
But he had seen the work completed
I'm spite of the obstacles and. dangers,
and then had come the word from his
king summoning him back to the pal
ace.
Troubled in heart he had obeyed,
and had resumed his former duties in
the presence of the king. BY no
word which the king spoke to him did
he know that he trusted him less than
before he had gone to Jerusalem, but
somehow he felt that the old cordial
ity and confidence was lacking. He
knew that he had done nothing where
by the king might accuse him, and
feeling that there was nothing else
for him to do but patiently wait, he
continued his services to the king as
faithfully as in former times.
So he had continued through the
years How often his heart burned
within him to talk with the king about
his beloved Jerusalem and his anxiety
to see the gates Of the city, hung and
the place made strong against her en-
ehites from without, but he feared to
speak lest the king might misunder-
stand him, and misconstrue his mo-
tives.
1t will come out all right" he had re-
assured himself during those long
years of waiting. Surely, God can
bring it to pass. Zion shall yet be
restored"
And at last the king had spoken and
told him that he should return to Je-

New York-The Hamburg-America
liner Hamburg sailed from this port
Tuesday bearing Theodore Roosevelt
and party, who are headed for British
East Africa on hunting and scien-
tific expedition, which has aroused the
interest OF the civilized world. Mr..
Roosevelt occupies the so-called impe-
rial suite on the steamer.
On the dock was large assemblage
of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends, who had
gathered to bid him God-speed and
who cheered him as he st-,d at the
rail of the steamer waving his hand
and smiling with delight. Beside him
stood the three men selected from
hundreds of applicants to accompany
him and assist him In collecting the
specimens of African fauna which he
hopes to send back for the enrichment
of the Smithsonian institution. These
fortunate individuals were Maj. Ed
gar A. Mearns. j. Loring Alden and
Edmund Heller. They comprise the
Smithsonian's expedition. The fifth
member of the little party, and not to
be considered of least importance. was
the ex-presidenes second son, Kermit,
who will be the official photographer
of the expedition and, next to his
father, the chief hunter.
Change Ships at Naples.
Mr.. Roosevelt will go via Gibraltar
to Naples, where he will board
steamer of the German East African
line for Kilindini harbor, the port of
Mombasa. At the latter place the
party win be joined by R. J. Cum
ninghame, an Englishman of long ex-
perience in Africa, who has been en-.
gagged as general manager and guide.
The party will spend short time in
Mombasa and then proceed by train
on the Uganda railway to Nairobi,
headquarters of the administration of
British East Africa Protectorate, city
of 1854 inhabitants, of whom $40 are
Europeans.

The Mind of Jesus.

Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus" wrote Paul to
the Christians of Philippi. The ycoun-
sci was needed then and IS still ap-
plicable. The deepest demand of the
individual and the multitude is. found
to consist in the requirement of the
mind of the Master. What Jesus was
minded to be and do is in lesser way
to be the form of the life and activity
of his followers. Whatever in the
world of people is wrong is due to an
absence Of the mind of Christ, and
wherever that Christly purpose and
disposition go there follows peace, and
joy, and holy living, and righteousness
is spread abroad to work through all
eternity.
