William, the Circuit Rider, is dead.
lie killed himself in a Georgia field
last Sunday.
He was the Rev. DR.. Lundy II. Har-
ris the original of the central charact-
en- in "A Circuit Riders Wife That
. was the book written by his wife, Cor
ia Harris, which created such a sensa-
ton when it was published, by reason
of its frank exposure of the conditions
under which Methodist circuit riders
have to live and work.
For years DR.. Harris was a circuit
rider, and everything of which Mrs.
Harris wrote she knew by bitter eX-
perience.
Her story was wonderful in its pitt
less revelations and In its entire ne
glect to gloss over or minimize those
features of her life which less cour-
ageous woman would have hidden.
1t has been commonplace that
country parsons are underpaid but
until Mrs. Harris wrote her book the
cruel hardships under which they live
were not real in the comfortable ina
ginations of Americans She did not
deal in figures, but when one under
stands that there are clergymen in
this country who serve in the ure of
souls for Sill year and they are not
negro preachers either, although that
fr T., =
ably suggest itself-the unlovely pic
ture that she draws is made complete.
1t was a picture of a sensitive, re-
fined woman and a large-souled, noble
man living such a life as the poorest
tenement dweller in a great city would
find hard to bear, and living it not
with the tenement dweller's hope of
evolution out of it, but with the knowl-
edge that the sentence was for life.
The average pay of minister in
this country is $685. The circuit rider
gets the minimum, and the hardships
under which he h as to live accentuate
the miserly character of his pay.
Nor was poverty the worst of it.
What else a country minister has to
put up with was vigorously and mer-
cilessly shown in Mrs. Harris book.
Now her hero has added a tragic
climax to t, dying by his own hand.
In what follows will be found, by
those who care to know the real life
of the true heroes of religion in this
country today, a story which should
make the most unthinking of Ameri-
cans pause.

LUNDY HARRIs's VISION.
Why civilian, the Circuit Rider"
Killed Himself.

Why william, the Circuit Rider"
Killed Himself.
Lundy Harris killed himself because
he began his ministry with a vision,
and in moment of black despair he
doubted if the ision would ever be
realized" So spoke a leading Metho-
dist minister in explaining the ui-
eide of Rev. DR.. L. H. Harris, who on
last Sunday morning wandered out in
to cotton field near Gainesville, Ga,
swallowed the contents of bottle of
morphine, and then lay down to wait
for the sleep that knows no break.
Il knew Lundry Harris we'll" con-
tinued the preached. 81 was his class
mate in college, and l appreciate fully
the mental state that dominated him
when he took the morphine in order
to find, as he put it in the note to Mrs.
Harris, rest that would not be broken.
He entered the Methodist ministry
with a great vision of making the
world better, and of drawing it closer
to God He fought strenuously to rea-
lie that vision, but all at once the
black idea seized him, that he had
failed and that in spite of his years of
endeavor, and hardships the world was
no nearer God than when he began
his ministry.
THE new theology disturbed him,
the continual blasting at the Rock of
Ages put his spiritual nerves on edge,
and in that state of soul and mental
unrest he resolved to end it all Added
to this was his curiosity and longing
for knowledge as to what comes after
the breath leaves the body. Frequent

this, after years of struggle for the up
lift of others, he wandered off into that
cotton field and swallowed the poison.
do not judge, | sympathize, and be-
lieye that the Maker of us all is car
ing for Lundy Harris far more tender
ly than we who knew him ever cared"
The man who made the above analy-
sis of the causes that led Rev DR..
Harris to commit suicide is a prelate
of the South Methodist Church, and
was a classmate of the dead man when
the latter was winning honors at
Emery college.
This analysis is accepted by all who
knew DR.. Harris.

You may think you don't
want motor car. But there
isn't any question about your
needing one.
There is a difference between
wanting a thing and needing it.
IF you need a car you are pay
ing for it. Paying in the time
you lose that a car would save
you. In the opportunities that
get away. In the fresh air and
recreation a car would give, but
which now you do not get.
Whatever we really need we
pay for, whether we actually
own it or not. You might get
along without an overcoat this
winter, but you would pay for
one Just the same. You would
pay with discomfort and colds.
If you use telephones, tele-
graph, wireless, express trains,
electric lights, trolley cars, add
ing machines, dictaphones,
ne papers, typewriters and
labor saving machinery, then
you need an automobile.
For the automobile has been
developed to keep pace with the
age that utilizes these other
things-the age of speed-the
age of efficiency. The motor
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-10-22

car didn't create its demand
after it arrived. The demand
was waiting. 1t had been wait
ing for forty centuries.
The greatest obstacle to prog
ress is distance. Civilization
consists of doing away with the
space that lies between man
and man, city and city, country
and country, between products
of all kinds and the people who
use them.
When the steamship, the
railroad and trolley came to
take care of the problem of
community or public transport
tation, the world took a long
step ahead.
When the automobile came
to take care of the problem of
individual transportation, the
world took another long step
ahead. If you haven't realized
it, then the world has stepped
past you.
The man with a motor gets
down to his business in the
morning quickly, clearly and
with gladness.
He arrives at his Office with
the sparkle of the sunshine and
fresh air in his blood and brain.
He is able to take up his bust
ness problems with clearer
vision and greater energy than
the man who has been worried
and doped by the rush and jam
and the bad air of a crowded
train or street car.
The man in a motor car can
cover so to 100 miles in a day
Just on business errands in the
city, keeping appointments that
it would take many days to make
under the old system.
At noon time he can use his
car to entertain his business
associates with Ave or ten mile
ride to a pleasant luncheon
place. He can send it out in
the afternoon to entertain guests

business. Or, if he wants to
take himself or a visitor to a
train, he allows just a NV min
utes' leeway and the motor car
ries him to the depot swiftly
and surely.
After the days work, he
arrives home again; arrives
with WEAKNESS and worry air
sprayed from his brain; with a
keen appetite and good humor
for dinner.
In the evening he may use
his car for a turn around the
parks and boulevard or a spin
into the country with family
and friends.
The man with a motor car
lives fuller life than if he didn't
have one. He has more expert
ences-more sensations. He
does more things. He has a
wider circle of interest and in
huence. He lives twice as long
in the same length Of time as the
man who hasn't a car. Long
life is not question of years so
much as it is of experiences and
accomplishments. Yet motor
cars will be factors in increas-
ing the average span of mans
years because they promote
health through outdoor life.

There are many good cars made
nowadays, and any good car is a
good investment. Yet we honestly
believe that Chalmers Cars offer the
best value for the money of any on
the market. Compare them with
others. Comparison has sold more
Chalmers Cars than all our adver-
Using. If you can possibly afford a
motor car, don't put it off any longer
but 60 and buy one. We hope it
will be a Chalmers but whether it
is or not, don't deprive yourself and
your family any longer Of the pleas
ure that by right is yours and theirs.
There is nothing that you could
invest the money in that will pay
you such a big dividend in the saw
ing Of your time in business and the
saving of your health for years, as
the purchase of a motor car. A
good thing is a better thing the
sooner you get it. Make your
family happy tonight by telling them
you have made up your mind to get
