the worldly life thinks In terms of the opposite. and of the present. The Christian life being the true cosmopol- itan life, thinks in terms of the soul, immortality and God
 We may grow toward these larger things if we will. If we give ourselves to them as we give ourselves to worldly things they will become IS real as they. The fact that Christianity is a life of the greater interests and con- ceptions. this does not mean that they are divorced from the smaller inter ests. for the spirit of the larger simp- ly passes over into the smaller and gives motive to detail and effort.
 At o'clock the synod convened again and the roll was called and perfected. The Rev. E. B. Robinson, pastor of the church at Marion Junction, was elected moderator by exclamation.
 Communications were read and referred to appropriate committees. They were from Columbia Theological seminary, from the American Bible society, from the synod of Tennessee on further endow- ment for Southwestern Presbyterian uni- versity, from the Synodeal Woman's g Missionary union, from the directors of the Southwestern Presbyterian university and from the committee on history.
 The Rev. George S. J. Browne, D. D.. field secretary of the American Bible so- ciety, was introduced and invited to sit as a corresponding member. Dr. Brown was heard on the cause which he repre- sents. He called attention to the great need for the distribution of the Bible and especially among the great body of immi- grants annually pouring into our land and must soon overflow into the waste lands of the south. He impressed some thing of the sacrificing labors of many noble men and women and of plans to place several agents into the work of the distribution in this state.
 The Rev. J. A. Bryan of Birmingham. in his usual impressive way impressed something of the importance of the work and urged that the synod give full heed to the impressive appeal made by pr.

Following is a sketch of the opening address delivered yesterday by Dr.. Mooney:
 "The woman then left her waterpot, and saith Is not this the Christ?' ''- John 4:2S-29
 This Is the eternal contrast. The con- trast of all the ages. On the one hand a waterpot of the earth, on the other the Christ of God; on the one hand ma terial vessel, on the other Gods unspeak- able gift on the one hand a perishable terday, today and forever.
 It is in the presence of these oppos- ing interests of life that men must make the souls great decisions. And about this hour of decision there is always something stately and solernn n, and it Is stately and solemn because each man goes to the battle alone. The father cannot decide for the son, nor the friend for the friend.
 This was the moral situation in the life of this woman as she stood be- tween her water pot and Christ. Her water pot stood for her earthly inter- ests, her selfishness and her sin, while on the other hand Christ stood for the great things of God, of service and of the transformed life.
 And this Is the moral situation like wise in which we find ourselves today. We have our water pots, our material interests and concerns, while Christ stands for the larger things of God and of the spiritual world. The prin- ciple that appealed to this woman on this occasion was the fact revealed to her by the message of Jesus that tn e interests she represented were the larger interests and when compared with these spiritual interests the inter- ests of the water pot seemed inferior and unimportant.
 The Christian life ought to be to us life of the larger interests with all of us notwithstanding the fact that we so often make our Christianity a nominal thing and condition it's scope. Men often speak of the Christian life as a narrow life, confining it to the element of renunciation. There is the feature of renunciation but 1t is the recommendation of the water pot for the interests that Christ stands for-the merging of passing interests in con captions that are eternal. Men often speak of the Christian life as a pro- vincial life. But 1t is all the other way,

And we have seen eggs sell for three
cents per dozen, and the market slow
at that price. That was in the good
old summer time when the common
people were taking no anxious thought
for the morrow, but the cold storage

stocked market and making prepare
lions to rake in few thousand per

how often can man afford to eat an
egg, with wages at $1.50 per day?

DISMISSED BECAUSE FAITHFUL

Clifford Pinchot, Chief Forester for
eight years, the creative genius of the
forestry department, chief exponent of
the principal of conservation of our nat
ural resources, the principle of great
est lustre to the Roosevelt administra-
ton, has been dismissed by Pres. Taft.
Not because of any crime he commit
ted, not because of inattention to duty,
not because of graft, not because of
lack of qualifications, for there prob
ably isn't another man so well qualified.
No, he was dismissed because he in
sisted on the public knowing the truth
regarding the coal land frauds in Alas
ka. The paddock which Taft has placed
on the lips of the government officials
wasn't strong enough to hold Pinchot.
He reported facts to the secretary of
agriculture, and they were carefully
embalmed to prevent incubation of the
public. He wrote a letter to Senator
Deliver of Iowa, which the latter read
in the Senate, and newspapers immedi-
ately gave to the world Because of
this effort to prevent the contamination
of one of the most gigantic frauds of
recent times he was dismissed. Wheth-
er that sunny smile will cause the pub
lie to forget the dismissal of faithful
official or not remains to be seen. -

of some people that the earth is hollow,
