these cotton mills in the South has been made
the subject of much congratulations; the owners
are lauded as though they were public benefac-

1299 Park Place, Brooklyn, n. Y.
To those who not aware of the fact it will
surprise when we say that one of the
most useful men that this country has ever pro-
duced lies fiat on his back in the great New York
metropolis where he has been a helpless invalid
Tor thirteen or fourteen years. Unable to work,
unable to leave his bed, physically impotent all
of the mans vital force has concentrated in his
heart and his brain. From his sick have
come the Invisible waves of magnetism and pur-
pose, bringing sweetness and light into the house
holds of tens of thousands of afflicted people.
Throughout this whole Union, there are men
and women, girls and boys who have cause to
bless the name of "Uncle Charlie and who do,
fervently and reverently bless it. He has de-
voted his genius to the welfare of others. In
stead OF filling his sick-room with an invalids
querulous, selfish complaints, curses against the
fate which confines him to his bed, when other
men are drinking in the elixir of sunlight and
the beauties of Nature he has seen with the eve
Of imagination the helpless boys and girls thou
sands of miles away the afflicted man or woman
OF other States,-people whom he will never see,
and who will never rest their eyes upon him
and through the almost miraculous operation of
human sympathy and human thought he has
come in contact with these, and has been an
angel OF mercy ministering to his fellow crea-
lures.
While the Roosevelts roar around the universe,
creating noise wherever they go-and little else:
wnlle the Bryans globe-trot here and there ad-
Vertslng themselves doing little else:
While Talmadge goes dramatically over the
stage, baskipg in an ephemera1 popularity g1ori-
ned by thoughtless multitudes who take the
horses from the coach to drag him triumphantly
through London streets, the Brooklyn invalid
PROSTATE and unhonored, went out in the fields
OF MS consecrated endeavor and is rearing
monument more enduring than bronze setting
an example that may to the future
OF America than all the turbulence of Roosevelt
and the preachments of political accidents like
Bryan.
Honestly and sincerely, it is my belief that if
ever this republic is restored to it's original pur-
pose OF being governed for the good of the many
rather than the few: if ever religion comes to
90 what Christ and His immediate followers in
tended that it should, it will be when such men
as Uncle Charlie" devoting their lives to the
poor, the sick, the iliterate the friendess the
