MONEY TALKS

In 1898 Simon Guggenheim
wanted to be governor. He had
the cards stacked but discovered
that Wolcott had decided to throw
him down. Thereupon Mr.. Gug-
genheim got the delegates TO.
gether and, according to the Rocky
Mountain News of that day, made
to them the following remarks:
II want you men who are oppos.
ing me to understand that you are
down here on my money. l am
supporting you, paying your board,
paying you cash. l want you to
understand that / must be nomi.
mated for governor. l want you to
understand that l have preserved
list showing the name Of every
person to whom / have paid a
dollar and what It was paid for.
II am not nominated will pub
lish the list. And l want you to
understand that If you nominate
another man l will spend 100000
TO defeat him"
The delegates made haste to
nominate him, although Senator
Teller openly charged that Mr..
Guggenhcim's methods had been
marked "by the free and improper
use Of money" About that time
some gentleman pointed out TO Mr..
Gugg snheim that he was suing in
the federal courts ~ resident OF
Philadelphia, and that this fact,
contrasted with his candidacy for
governor Of Colorado, would make
interesting but awkward campaign
literature. Ther.upon he with.

BaptiZed With Fire.

When a lecturer on electricity
wants to show an example Of a hui
man body surrounded by fire, he
places q person on a stool with glass
legs. The glass serve to isolate him
from the earth, because it will not
conduct the fire-the electric fluid.
Were il not for this, however much
might be poured into his frame, it
would be carried away by the earth,
but when thus isolated from it he re-
tains all that enters him. You see,no
fire, you hear no fire, but you are
told that it is pouring into him. Pres
emily you are challenged to the proof,
asked to come near and hold your
hand close to his person; when you
do so, a spark Of fire shoots out to-
ward you.
If thou, then, wouldst have, thy
soul surcharged with the fire Of God,
so that those who come near thee
shall feel some mysterious influence,
proceeding out from thee, thou must
draw nigh to the source Of that fire,
to the throne of God and of the Lamb
and shut thyself out from the world
that cold world which so swiftly
steals our fire away. Enter into thy
closet, and shut to thy door," and
there, isolated before the throne"
await the baptism; then the fire shall
fill thee; and when thou CONTEST
forth holy power will attend thee,
and thou shalt labor, not in thine
own strength, but with "~demonstra-
ton of the Spirit, and with power"
Rev. w. Arthur.

Like Him..

Change into His image! Not per-
fectly-oh, never perfectly in this
world.
The reflected image of the sun In
the lakes is very different from the
sun in the heavens. If he ceases to
shine, as when a cloud passes over
his face, the image in the water is
lost. If you disturb the smooth sur
face of the lake, the likeness of the
sun will be broken into glimmering
fragments. Still it is the image of
the sun. So it is with Christ's like
ness in the heart of the believer. If
a cloud of unbelief or worldliness
comes between the image vanishes.
When the heart is troubled by doubt
or fear or sudden calamity, how bro
ken the likeness often is! But,
whether dimly or brightly appearing,
it is likeness to Jesus still.
And be not discouraged, dear
Christian soul, If, after all these
years, you can see nothing of the
beautiful image in yourself. Let it
comfort your heart to reflect that
Jesus may see His likeness where we
can hardly discern it at all, just as
the portrait of a child will sometimes
seem better to a parents eye than to
a strangers. There are touches Of
resemblance which only love can see
Not that this should content us. We
ought not to be satisfied with a like
ness which only the eye of God can
see. We must aim to be so like Christ
that all the world a see Him in US.

How to Make His Mark Quickly.

DR.. James Walker, the former pres
ident Of Harvard, College, was a wise
old man, commonly known among the
students as "Judicious James" A
senior once called upon the president
and told him with utter frankness
that he was conscious of the posses
sion of great ability and knew that
he was destined to make his mark.
But he had called to ask advice. He
wished in the shortest time possible
to bring his abilities to bear, so that
he would waste no time.
DR.. Walker reflected a moment and
said, eff you wish to become well
known in the shortest possible time I
should advise you to attack the Chris
tan religion" - Detroit News-Trib-

dreamed about it. He wrote 1t with
His own blood. He wrote it so clear
ly that the world could not mistake
it's meaning. 1t blazed out with a
divine intensity and illumined a very
sinful and weary soul. 1t was the
divine word forgiveness.
We little realize what this word
meant to the world in that day. Their
gospel had been IAN eye for an eye
and a tooth for a TOOTH" This word
struck a new note in their religious
life. Jesus mounted upon the cross
and with one mighty sweep He
brushed away all the trappings of the
Mosaic law. It's ceremonies and puri-
fyings now became a dead letter. He
burst open the Holy of Holes and
made it possible for every %repentant
soul to approach God. He revealed
that for which the centuries had been
looking. He manifested that for
which the heart had been hungry
the love Of God. Never again need
the world doubt Gods love. From
every valley and hillside and hamlet
I see the weary, burdened people
pushing their way toward the cross,
to find refuge under its shadow and
to seek forgiveness through it's sub
lime sacrifice. 1t Is the greatest mes
sage of the ages.
How much this forgiveness means
to the world to-day! It touches every
phase of our lives. 1t comes to the
conscience and places the enormity of
sin by it's side and shows its estimate
in the light Of Biblical standards. 1t
comes to the intellect, and, with the
authority of Him who made the in
tellect, reveals the true way to the
Fathers heart. It comes to the heart
and with an infinite pathos and power
shows the love and mercy of the in
finite God. 1t fits every side of our
lives. Christ forgives every mean &C
ton, every sinful deed, every neg
lected duty, and every unkind word.
He forgives the sins we have com-
mitted against ourselves, against our
brothers and against our God. He
blots them out sc completely that
neither our own fearfulness, o our
strong enemies power, nor our self
reproach can reveal them. He buries
them so deep that nothing in heaven
or in earth car yer resurrect them.
Dig down as deep as you can and you
will never find even the skeleton of
the lifeless dust of your sins. The
evil heart which is the fountain of
sin will be purified and made white
as the snow, so that forever after
there will issue forth pure and right
eous actions. The old familiar hymn
states the Christians experience
beautifully:
NV God is reconciled,
His pardoning voice l hear,
He owns me for His child,
I can no longer fear,
With confidence I now draw near,
And Father, Abba, Father cry.

Is This True? If So, What?

Of course, the pastor should be q
master workman in this blessed art.
He Is the leader, and must be the
teacher, both by precept and example.
And in this matter the general rule
will be found to be Like pastor like
people," If the man who has been
called of God to the work of the min
istry shows no special concern to
reach individuals by his personal eff
fort, the probability is that his peo-
pie will show little concern also.
Thus many a church degenerates into
a literary or social club, where the
membership has the form Of godli-
ness without the power. T.
And the pastor who neglects to be
q leader in this work will be con-
demned in the eyes of those who are
not Christians. They know very we'll
that it is his business to seek the
lost just as his Master did. They
know, too, that the preparation OF
sermons and a few social calls do not
constitute the chief work OF a min
lister of Jesus Christ. And the man
who does not seek to win men to
Christ by personal conversation will
have little power to win men directly
to Christ by his sermons.
In a certain city a gentleman Of
large business interests was convert
ed. After his conversion he said to
us: 81 have often wondered whyIi
is that Christian people, if they really
believe what they profess, show so
little interest to win others to Christ.
I have a brother-in-law who is a
minister, and who spends his sum-
mer vacation with me; yet in all these
years that he has been coming to u
home, he has never once talked seri-
ously with me about giving myself to
Christ" That minister, through neg
lect of his duty, was condemned in
the eyes of that unsaved business
man.-Rev. ]. w. Mah0od, in the
Master Workman.

HOW the Master Comes.

There is a legend which runs as.
follows: Many years ago. in a little
village, near Jerusalem, 1t YVES an
nounced that Jesus was going to. pass
through the village and visit every
family. Several families cleaned
their homes, so tnat they would be-
perfectly clean when Jesus came.
One lady was cleaning her house.
and while doing so a. knock was
heard at her door, and on opening
the door she, found a little boy stand-
Ing there who had neither shoes nor
stockings on his feet.
well, what do you want?" she
asked.
"will you please give me q piece
of bread?" asked the child. 81.

preparing for a great One"
The little boy turned away with
sad heart as she shut the door In
| his face. - K &
She had hardly got back to her.
work when another knock disturbed
her, and on opening the doDr this
time she saw a little girl with 8 shawl
wrapped around her naked body.
"Piease, lady, can Il come in
minute to get warm?" asked the little
girl.
"No; I do not want you to dirty
my floor and rugs, SO go your way. Z
"Just let me come In the hail..
pleased" pleaded the child.
She received no answer. but the
door was closed in her face,
The lady again went to, her work
and a third time a knock disturbed
her. This time she looked out, and
On seeing a poor old man she would
not open the door, but pretended she
was not at home. SO the man went
away. She waited all the day, and
Jesus did not come.
That very same night she fell upon
her knees and asked the Lord why
He had not come to see her that
day, and He answered her by saying
that He could not come Himself, but
had sent three people instead. and
| she had rejected every one OF them.
Often we pray and ask the Lord
to be our guest; He cannot come, so
He sends someone else, either q boy,
girl, man or woman. May the reader

member a favor. received, but forget
a favor bestowed! God bless you'll

THE CRUSADE AGAINST DRINK
PROGRESS MADE BY CHAMPIONS
FIGHTING THE RUM DEMON.
Victims of q Demon.

In the silent midnight watches,
When the earth was wrapped in gloom,
And the grim and awful darkness
Crept unbidden to my room,
On the solemn, deathly stiffness
Of the night there broke a sound
Like ten million wailing voices
Crying loudly from the ground:
We, the victims of q demon.
We who, one and each and all,
Can cry out before high heaven
eve are slain by Alcohol"
We would warn you, youths and maidens,
From the path that we have trod-
From the path that leads to ruin,
And away from Peace and God.
We. the millions who have fallen,
Warn you from the ruddy glow
Of the wine in silver goblets,
For destruction lies below.
Wine and gin and rum and brandy,
Whisky, cider, ale, and beer,
These have slain US and destroyed usf-
These the foes that brought US here;
We beseech you, men and women
Fathers. mothers. husbands, wives
To arise and slay the demon
That is threatening dear ones lives.
Do not preach of moderation
To your children, for, alas!
There is net a foe more subtle
That the fateful social glass.
Men in Office, men in power,
Will you let this demon wild
Stalk unfettered through the nation,
Staying woman, man, and child?
Oh. arouse, We l~istless mortalsi
There is work for every one!
We have warned you of your danger
We have s~poken-we have done!

ELECTRIC REVOLVING DOORS,
Motor Operated and Set in Motion by
Pressing q Button.

In some buildings of a semi-public
nature in which revolving doors are
installed, as hotels and stores, they
keep a mar at the entrance to help
operate the door for the greater con.
venience and comfort Of persons en-.
tering and leaving the building. This
man starts the door in motion, thus
making it easier for the person enter.
ing to push the rest of the way.
But the attendant, according to his
natural strength or his mood at the
moment, may start the door swiftly
or slowly, thus hurrying or retarding
the incomer. And then on a person
ally operated door n man in the
door, impatient, may push the door
fast and bang the leaf in front Of
himself against the heels of the man
in the compartment ahead, making
him peevish. All these variations and
uncertainties in the movements of the
door are eliminated by operating it
with an electric motor.
The electrically operated reVolVlnS
door has a motor attached to the up.
per end of the shaft from which the
leaves extend. The motor is quite out
of sight above the horizontal sheath
ing at the top of the doorway. From
the motor and also quite out Of sight
wiring extends to a push button set
in the wall at the side Of the doorway
within the building, where the door
attendant stands.
With a door thus equipped there is
no reaching out and grabbing a leaf
and pushing or pulling on it to start
it. The attendant simply presses the
button and so turns the current into
the motor, and the motor does the
rest, starting the door gently and then
keeping it going with a motion that is
steady and uniforn.-New York Sun.

Deserts Pony For Motor.

Chief White Eagle, of the Stand

sold two large silver treaty medals

According to reports from the res

companions who constantly indulge
in the warwhoop. There is no traffic
to bother the chief, and the absence
of speed laws in his vicinity makes

THE EVENING PRAYER.

In the evening Of the years,

Seems a vision yelled in tears.

That I vainly thought to keep;
As a little child I pray: Sra q
Now l lay me down to sleep.

Since that childish prayerI said,
And the lips that taught it me
Have been gathered to the dead;
Yet her face l seem to see
When the evening shadows creep,
And again, as at her knee, !
Pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep!
Softly fades the lingering light:
Loi the last beam leaves the skies;
And I watch, amid the night,
For the evening star to rise.
Far beyond the bounds Of space HsG

Let me see my mothers face
If I die before I wake!
Darker grows the gathering gloom,
While my soul its vigil keeps
With the memories that loom
Up from Life's.unsounded deeps.
