A PROCLAMATION
By the Acting Governor of Arizona.

AhN "NAAN' A~1y ON
 February, 1910. be observed as
 Holiday in Commemoration of
 the One Hundred and First Birth
 day of Abraham Lincoln.
 It is observed, the last Legisla- tive Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, by an Act approved Janu- ary 22. 1909, declared and estab- lished Friday, the 18th day of Feb ruary, 1909, to be legal holiday in commemoration of the hund- redth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. It further ap. pears that there was an intent to establish the 18th day of February as permanent legal holiday in commemoration of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, but by some means, unexplainable, such legisla- tive action was not completed.
 Dilligent study and careful de- duction establishes the fact that Abraham Lincoln. as an American citizen and the embodiment of that something. which is undehnable, within himself. more nearly ap- preached that kind and class of government as intended by the Constitution of the United States than any statute which has ever been written. from the Constitu- tion as a basis, or any chief execu- tive who has ever been entrusted with that high honor of administer ing the law, as expressed and un- expressed. yet intended by the Con stitution. Abraham Lincoln not only stood but the memory of his life and example will always stand among the foremost in that which should comprise the ideal American citizen. He met the tremendous demands of the hour with grace. good will and charity. and sim plicity, yet grandeur. few can ap- preciate and none can explain.
 It should be the pleasurable duty of every loyal citizen on one day in he year. to give at least a few thoughts and devote time for at least little study as to whom this great patriot was. The 18th day of February, 1910, will be the one hundred and first anniversary of his birth and on that day millions of Americans will gather throughout this great nation in commemora- tion of his memory.
 THEREFORE. I, GEORGE U. YOUNG, Acting Governor of Ari- zona. by virtue of the liberty and power allowed me, do hereby re- commend that Friday. the l2th, day of February 1910, be observed as 6 holiday, and that, in accord with the higher responsibilities of every American citizen, all bus-i ness, public and private, be sus- pended on that day, and the day devoted to those things appropriate to cherish the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF. l have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory of Arizona to be affixed.

Gov. Sloan Returns to Arizona.

Governor Sloan returned from the Conference of Governor" in Washington Tuesday. He is conf- dent of statehood and says that aside from the three million acres of land Arizona will very probably receive $2, ,5OO,O0O. The Beveridge bill will cause but little more de. lay in granting statehood than would the Hamilton bill. The statement that all land grant to the territories had been cut out of the senate bill, arose from the fact that the number of acres was left blank pending the conference of the senate and house committees. He is of the opinion that the senate is inclined to deal more lenientiy with the territories than is the house.

HOW TO WIN VICTORY.
The Christian church, if it be true
to it's Lord, must first heartily believe
and then pr oclaim its faith that not
| by might nor by power, but by the
spirit, are victories won. The task
that is set before the people is to pre-
pare for themselves the weapons with
and by which they are decided
Rev. Lewis 4. Reed, Congregational
list, Brooklyn.
HOW TO BE HAPPY.
The springs of happiness are within.
They are moral and spiritual their
nature. 1t is hard for the mother in
her round of trivial duties, for the
teacher in the wearying monotony of
the schoolroom, for the workman in
the deadening routine of daily labor,
to be buoyant and happy. But all can
be if they will, and they ought to will
SO to be- We must draw our resources
from ourselves, filled with the spirit
of God. who wills our happiness
Bishop Samuel Fallows, Reformed
Episcopal. Chicago.
PROTECTOR OF THE WEAK.
The true religion is that which rec
ognizes, helps and protects the weak.
too much is i. the spirit of the times
that might is always right and the
weak are always wrong. The prin-
ciple of conduct is best illustrated
among the nations of the earth. The
Jeish religion does not teach such
eak Judaism teaches to help the
eak so they may become strong. 1t
is our belief that civilization is no
stronger than the eakest.-Dr. Emil
G. Hirsch, Hebrew. Chicago.
CHRISTIAN AMITY.
The unity Ct prayer and worship is
just as essential to man as his labor
union is. Man needs the incentive and
help that come from congregational
worship. If he is true man he also
is glad when they say to him, Let US
go into the house of the Lord I'm
the real things of life let him see to it
that he meet his brother men in the
house of God Let him hold to this
fact: He meets his companions in his
social hours to become better &C
auainted, to weld more closely his ties
of friendship. Can he find anywhere
a better place to become acquainted
with himself and his God than in the
church of Jesus CHRISTI There is spir-
itual strength in Christian amity.-

Episcopal, Chicago.

NEWS AND NOTES.

Alarmed by the aggressions which
Islam is making in Asia and Africa,
the missionary leaders are taking steps
to counterfeit and overcome this propa-
ganda. One move is reported from
Germany, where the German Orient
mission is to establish Mohammedan
seminary. It's purposes are to train
missionaries with the special regard
to service among Mohammedan peo-
pie, and to cate a new sort of mis-
sionary literature for circulation in
MohammedaE countries. The students
will have to learn Arabic, study the
Koran. Life Of Mahomet, and the SUIT
philosophy Three of the teachers in
the new seminary are converted Mo-
hammedan mo1lahs, or priests. One
of them is a direct descendant of the
prophet.
The recent sudden death of Rev. Dr.
w. r. Richards of Brick Presbyterian
church, removes one of the best known

ham, England has declined the call of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church,
