SUNDAY MORNING TALK
MEN AND RELIGION.

A student in theolog1cas seminary went to a country town for a Sunday as candidate for the local pulpit. On his return his mates quizzed him as to the characer of the organization which
 might elect him as its spiritual over seer He did not seem particularly en- said. "the fact is. fellows. wasn't
 drawn toward that church one little
 bit It has thirty women and just three men" At which the wag of the crowd silli1y remarked, You don't ex- pect to find church with all women, do you, Jones?"
 Has Robinson any religiou?" asked a man of his friend concerning third party. Well, he may have it" was the reply. but whatever he has I guess it all stands in his wffe's name"
 These two incidents point the way ing the opportunity which present con- ditions offer men to ally themselves with churches whose membership for all working purposes have been con fined to women. They have paid the
 bills, taught in the Sunday school, sung in the choir. run the prayer meet ings. and in some cases swept the auditorium and rung the bell. Many a church would be crippled today if two or three women withdrew from mem
 bership and service They not only preponderate in numbers over the men
 but usually outstrip them in fidelity and zeal.
 At least this is the record up to date.
 but because a. thing has been it does not necessarily follow that it will al-
 ways be. There's a new spirit abroad
 Hasn't your ear yet caught the sound of the tread of masculine feet along
 the highways of the kingdom? What mean these mems clubs, brotherhoods, great national congresses like that scheduled next month for Chicago and which promises to surpaSs any previous occasion of the sort? More men in
 4 urlf down to missionary banquets during the last six months than in any ten years up to this time. And these din- CTS have done something besides eat. They have heard the straightest kind of talk from leading business and pro- fessfonal men concerning their duty to support missionary enterprises with the same steadfastness and enthusi- asm which their mothers and sisters. their wives and daughters have dis played for many a day. Yes, the men are waking up, not simply to keen interest in certain definite propaganda, but to a realization of the fact that personal religion is an experience into which a full-blooded, capable, hard hitting man ought to enter. It may not come to him in just the way it comes to a woman with her more sen- sitive and highstrung nature. He may not be able to render the exact ser vice which his wife can render, but he ought to be ashamed to be religious by proxy and slip into heaven bye
 and bye under the mantle of his wffe's
 faith and love.
 Religion, when rightly understood, appeals to strong men. The Christian religion began in a company of young men to whom their leader spoke be- cause thesy were strong and capable of overcoming the evil one. Religion has never lacked masculine adherents of the manifest type of characters, men

THE COMFORT OF FLOWERS.

If anybody has talked more sympa- fhetically or more entertainingly about flowers than Aunt Jane of Kentucky. we Go not know who 1t is- Talking upon this theme. she wrote:
 Flowers that somebody else plants and tends to are just like children that somebody else nurses and raises. raise my flowers. like I raised my children. and I reckon that that's why I love them so- It's a curious thing, c-ii5. the hold that flowers and trees has on human beings. You can move into a hcuse and set up your furni- tEre and live there twenty years and as long as you don't do any plantin' you won't mind changin' your house any rore'n you mind changin' your c-ess. But you jest plant a rose brsh or a hcneysuclle and then start to move. and ftll look like every root o' that bush is holding you to the place and if Eou go you'll want to take your flowers with you-''
 Flowers mean much to those who cultivate them and those who grow them with an interest of love prefer to see them on the plant to seeing chem in a vase. Flowers look prettier .n their natural grouping and relation to the parent plant than anywhere else
 The supersdtious say that flowers grow better for those who love them and it is in the hearts of those who love them that they are recognized as stars of earth" Who but flower 1ancier ever could have exclaimed: 'Pznsies for thoughts" Flowers for exercise and for companionship are a pleasure 10 the cultivator: and they summon the purest thoughts to the hearts of those who love beauty for beeuty's sake

DEFENsiRIE ECONOMY.

The measure introduced to congress by Representative Bennett of New York for the deportation of criminal aliens -Tiu find sympathy and sup port in all parts of the country.
 This bill provides that all aliens committed to a state prison for not less than one year shall, at the expi- ration of their sentences, be deported 10 their native countries by the fed ersl government The measure has She unqualified support o4 the best known criminclogists Of America.

EXPERTS.

The one person on earth who next to an assessor comes in for druh
 ping is the man who sets himself u 3 as an expert at anything. Of late years the expert has just shrunk to something called into court at spe- cia1 price for the lawyers to have fun with In comrnercialism he is the false pretence who passes upon al- legged .'old masters" etc, and confirms the affirnations of the seller. sHe tells you" says a Boston writer, that vouf picture is a Turner, and worth $25,0o0, and after you've had it a decade and swelled up an inch or two a year on its account. you find out that it was painted In Weehawken. He tells the judge that you poisoned your mother in-Ia,w because he found trace of arsenic in the old lady's insides, and so the law plll1nps you into jail for a year or so> until you find out that arsenic is as abundant and easy to acquire as dirt on Washington street. He tells you this letter was written dead sure by Ruseau and a short time later Ruseau proves that Russell wrote. it He tells you that the bust was made by Leonardo and you find ir stuffed with the London papers of last year."
 He will tell you anything to please you: and he will tell the court a good story for the price either side of the case. What there is in it for him determines his attitude.

do not know what to think of the man who likes to tyranize over his family. The man who carries a smile all day for friend and foe ought to be ashamed to come home with a snarl for his wife and the yawp of an ass for his children. This sort of a man never has any authority anywhere ex- cept beneath his own vine and fig tree and he isn't fit to have any there. When a man is pictured in the minds
 of his wife and children as a brute and a bear he is none too good to be kept in pen. A man whose children or dog is afraid of him has no reason to be proud. It is a wonder that he can keep feeling respectable; but it is a fact that such men have no self re-
 spect. The only way in which they could surprise themselves would be by good nature, and that is the one thing they lack. They are doomed to be just what they have made themselves.

I-never feel diffident about confess ing that as boy and man have always been fond of pets: and have found it creatures come to regard me as a friend. Some folks feel that they are the master of a dog and carry a whip as symbol of their mastery; but he who fs comrade to his dog gets a comrades reward, while the master often gets submission without conf dence. It ds a law of nature that through fellowship we shall know each other better. A creature that has not been intimidated knows no fear and acts naturally and heart gets closer to heart. Rule through love, not through fear. They understand each other bet ter where human assumption of mas tery is left out. Animals learn bad habits from man and the horse that is kicked by his master in time kicks him. It is the suspicious creature that is unreliable and often dangerous.

The woman who fIatters a man upon the superiority of his sex is more dangerous than the woman who at tempts to rely upon his chivalry for her advantages It is flattery that soothes one into the dullness of his own conceit and makes of him easy prey. The odor of the poppy is not more modifying than the vapor of praise which carries to the trusting soul the rainbow hues of truth. There is no fool who is second to the fool who has been bereft of his senses by the glamour of cunning words The wild beasts in the pathway of life do not overcome and destroy more men than the sirens who once sang by the sea, but who now sing in every habita- ton of man.
