Give reason to your answer as tot
whether God in these days, or ever,
calls upon men and women to do cr-
ratio things. such as Doglccting their
h1lEincGs. in order to do religious
work?
How may a man Of God recognize
tho call Of God to new work. VIXEN it

When God calls man to devote
himself to gospel work. Is it. always
call?
Most people recognize that a spC-
cial call is necessary for the gospel
ninistry. bat If this is so. why is not
a special cali necessary for any occU-

capabilities and usefulness far beyond
the mere increase In numbers.
The reorganization OF the Chamber
n few years ago with the appointment
of an aggressive Outside" man or field
manager, whose whole time goes to
furthering projects of interestSto the

Is there no remedy?
SUBSCRIBER.
This Is question which has been
puzzl!ng economists for many months
You WIFI find 1t fully discussed in an
editorial entitled THE Wherefore Of
High Prices which appeared in this
the reasons alleged for high prices
arc, first OF all, the over-p production
OF gold. which has been on. or pro-
portion to the actual needs OF busl-
ness and beyond the demands of ma
terial growth. AS result OF this
gold. like any other staple. has be-
como chcapened. 1t is very little con.
ISOLATION to say. that provisions and
labor are higher. but money is
cheaper, as this is really tho case Tho
second reason for high prices is the
growth OF trusts and tho iniquitics Of
tho present tariff. These affect, not
only the price OF staples. but the prics
OF labor, inasmuch as the price Of
labor Is always regulated by the cost
of living. Laborers are compelled to
charge more for their service when
secure tho bare necessities OF life. OF
course. It happens that often those
who are not compelled to charge more
for their labor than heretofore will do
SO when high wages prevail. This is
probably the reason why servant girls
in your community arc demanding
such high prices for their services,
most Intricate. one covering the whole
cause of production and home con-
sumption. Broadly speaking. the In
crease In our urban population has
been so great that the demand for
provisions has increased In the States
beyond tho increase in production
In our agricultural districts. In addi-
ton to these there are number OF
minor causes affecting high prices. The
cred by the ablest men In the coun-
try 70 be responsible for tho upward
movement of prices. We see no hops
of relief at an early date.

Wilbur Wright does not like our
patent laws, on the ground that they
do not give proper protection TO the
Inventor. Just when man ought
to be doing something" he says, che
has to stop and fool around with the

and there Is much reason In It. Mr..
Wright himself Is doing considerable
"fooling around with the law" Just
now. He has already got an Injunc-
ton against Glenn TT. Curtiss is after
another one against the daring Gaul,

the German laws. under which man
proposing TO manufacture patentable

can succeed In restraining him through
