What Was Needed.

Instead of being disturbed by his
defeat, says a Washington corre-
s%pondent, the Speaker became remin-
iscent and told 4 story which illus.
trates his opinion that whenever you
have the votes you can carry out your
ideas.
Back in the greenback days." he
said, there was q man named Emory
Storrs, a brilliant man and an able
man, in spite of some OF his views
He called on Chauncey Blair. a big
Chicago banker, and talked the finan-
cial situation over with him. He told
Blair what the country needed was
more money.
1--WE have plenty of money said
Blair. The banks are full of it. We
would welcome any borrower who
came to US for a loan.
Well, let me have a Million an
swered Storrs.
".All right said Mr.. Blair. 4
wish there were three or four more
borrowers like you. But what collat-
eral can you offer?'
"'Collatera!?' inquired Storrs;
collateral? Then it isn't more
money that we need: it's more col
lateral"

recognition that the insurgents need,

leading of the Lord, I will now go
forth from my place of concealment."
In the darkness of the night he
clambered down from the loft. Not
a dog barked; not a fowl stirred. In
perfect silence and quite unmarked,
he made his way to the home of q
friend whom he knew to be faithful.
He found that the soldiers who had
been watching for him had left the
town that very day. He was easily
hidden by his friend until he could
make his escape to a province where
the Protestants were not prosecuted;
and after a while better days came
to Germany and he vent back to his
home and his little daughter. There
they lived happily all the rest of their
lives, worshiping God according to
the dictates of their own consciences.
This is not a made-up story. but a
true incident of the Reformation. 1t
will be good for our girls to think OF
1t as they rejoice. in their many col
ored Easter eggs, and to remember
how God has cared for those who
trusted Him in the midst of every
danger.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Farmers Cooperative Plan.

What is apparently a farmers CO.
operative company was chartered at
Trenton in the Farmers Wholesale
Company, which confers the right to
deal in all kinds of farmers produce
and supplies, besides the right to con-
duct abattoirs and coldstorage plants,
as well as to do a milling and manu-
featuring business. The Meat Trusts
agents were much interested in the
charter, and ordered copies of it from
the Secretary of State. 1t looks like
an attempt by the farmers of South
Jersey to break from the domination
of the Meat and Poultry Trusts. The
authorized capital is 100000, and
the incorporators are James T. Zane,
of Blackwood; Harry B. Mackin, of
Camden; Ellis H. Rudderow, J. How

Drifts in with golden glow;

And hearts with joy o'erfow.

And every heart is bright.

From spires against the sky.

Most hallowed from on high.
