THE ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS
A Sermon by Rev. Henry Lamb, Preached a,
Hyde Park, Sunday, April "a, 1910.

Text:-Nehemiah 8:l5, $50 the wal
was finished in the twenty and fifth day
of the month, in fifty and two days.
Nehemiah 4:6, "For the people had
mind to work."
You will notice at once that the first
part of this text constituted the shout OF
triumph, $50 the wall was finished"
Recall for moment the circumstances
Nehemiah was a cupbearer at the court
of Artaxerzes, King of Persia, and in the
CARRYING out of his duties the King no
ticed that there sat upon his face the
shadow of a perpetual sorrow, and al
last the King questioned him as to the
meaning of it. Nehemiah told the King
how that his heart was sad because his
own city. lay in ruins, the walls were
broken down, and that which was once
beautiful for habitation, now lay in the
hands Of destruction. And so it came to
pass that the sorrow of his heart, which
had expressed itself again and again in
prayer to God, resulted in his being sent
as governor to that region where his
people dwelt, and where his city lay in
ruins. The story of his coming is very
full of interest. He first went around
the walls of the city alone, looked at the
ruins, obtained great sense of the meth
cd of reconstruction, and then when all
his plans were laid, he gathered together
the great host of workers, and the cry
went out "Come let us build the wall of
this city, Then for fifty-two days and
nights they worked, and thus only little
more than seven weeks had passed away
from the commencement, when the glad
cry was uttered that the wall was fin
ished. And now story like this must
have underlying it, revelations that are
we'll worth our discovery, and l propose
this morning to ask you to consider with
me the elements of success as revealed
in this story, and to see in what respects
it applies to ourselves. Our circumstances
this morning are similar in some respects
to those surrounding our texl. That
which was fair and beautiful to look
upon a week ago, now lies in the hands
Of desolatiop.. And as Nehemiah en-
couraged and inspired his people to
work and enthusiasm, so l want to try
and encourage you.
The speaker here pointed to a black
board upon which was written the out,
line of his sermon. Taking the word
Success" he showed how each letter
stood for some element of success as re-
vealed in the story of the building of the
wall of Jerusalem, and said the same
elements would constitute the success OF
the people of Hyde Park in this their
present work of reconstruction.

The beautiful (?) snow.
John F. Christian and daugh-

last week.
Miss Mildred Gayle, William

Miss Beatrice O'Neal expected
to return to st. Margaret's Ac-

on account of the storm, may
not depart for a day or two.
Everybody despises knock
er. The person being knocked
is always absent, of course, and
is struck at long range. A feel
ing of discomfort takes hold of
the innocent receiver, as he is
not taking a relish. But the
loser at the game is the knocker
himself. He shrinks far within
the measure of manhood and is a
self accuser in his after thoughts.
The big snowstorm of Friday
and Saturday last, abated on
Sunday afternoon, the 2nd. The
snow at this time is 10 inches in
depth on the level, something
not known in Challis for twenty
wears. On account of the blind
ing storm the mail for Mackay
did not get in last Saturday
night. The driver, Chas. Howell
got lost. He found a telephone
pole, and by following the poles
he found he was near Lee Wat
sons place, where he remained
over night.

Oemonism Of Milit1rism
and Other Oemony'

AS reported by the American
Association for International
Cancellation, G. E. Jefferson said
in part: All the great nations
are today facing deficits, caused
in every case by the military
and naval experts. Into what a
tangle the finances of Russia and
Japan have been brought by
militarists is known to every
body. Germany has in a single
generation increased her nation
tional debt from eighteen mil
lion dolls to over one billion dol
lars. The German Minister of
Finance looks wildly around in
search of new sources of national
income. Financial experts con-
fess that France is approaching
the limit of her sources OF rev.
enue. Her deficits is created by
her army and navy. The British
government is always seeking
for new devices by means of
which to fill depleted treasury.
Her Dreadnaughts kept her poor.
Italy has for years staggered on
the verge of bankruptcy because
she carries an OvergrOwn army
on her back. Even our own rich
republic faces this year deficit
of over one hundred and thirty
million dollars, largely due to
the one hundred and thirty mil
lions we are spending on our
navy. MIR. Cortelyou has called
our attention to the fact that
while in 80 years we have in
creased our population by 81
per cent, and our wealth by 49,
per cent, we have increased oul
national expenses by 400 PEI

OF Ice Covered Streets And
Sidewalks Of The City
Making Walking Almost I'm
possible Wednesday
Many Persons Received Falls
On The Ice

A glare of ice on pavements
streets and cutters made walking al
most impossible in Mt. Vernon Wed
nesday morning. There was a de-
cided change in the temperature in
the night and rain commenced to fall
early in the morning, freezing as
soon as it struck the earCh
Business men, clerks, laboring
men and in fact everyone was late
in reaching their place of employ
ment Wednesday morning. School
children were tardy for school and
many did not venture out of the
house. There were many falls on the
ice, but at the same time it was
quite amusing to see people attempt
ing to get along on the glare of ice.
One man said he had been since day
light getting to his place of business
four blocks distance.
City carriages, the taxicab and
automobiles were in service getting
people down town Even horses
had trouble in keeping on their feet.
The driver of laundry wagon
started around the public square and
in an instant his wagon was shifted
around and the horse was headed
in the opposite direction.
Business along Main street was al
most at standstill and the tale-
phone was resorted to by almost
everyone in ordering groceries and
meats.
However, the hardware stores did
big business in selling "creepers"
for with these little devices people
were able to keep on their feet
Without doubt it was the most
disagreeable day Mt. Vernon citizens
have experienced for years.

lieve that can be brought to our city.
This means much, not simply to the
Adelphian Bible class, but to Mt.
