large and heroic a figure in its first era
and to whom it's debt Of gratitude will
ever remain so large, it Is both pleas
ant and helpful to remember that
among the sterling qualities for which
Washington IS held in honor, not the
least Is his strong and answering
Christian faith.
Taught by a Christian mother, Wash
ington's religion. deep and unobtrusive,
as was the nature Of the man, was
from b"rhood TO death part of his daily
life. 1t strengthened and sustained
him in every hour of trial and kept
him brave, sincere and uncorrupted in
the time CT depression, Of temptation
and of power.
AS a young man but little over 20,
when about him to join the Inflated
command of Braddock, he wrote to his
mother, who, motherlike, feared for
him to take the risk. "The God to
whom you commended me, when I set
out on a more perilous errand, defend
ed me from all harm, and I trust He
will do so now" And his letters and
journals and actions through life show
ed that he never lost that unfaltering
trust, q trust that nerved him for great
undertakings, and gave him confidence
to meet grave dangers. Washington
was reverent of everything that was
sacred.-Christian Advocate.

wandering dogs are treated with great

BLAMES GOLD PRODUCTION
Massachusetts Board Says 1t Is
Cause of High Prices.

Boston, May IA marked increase in
the worlds gold supply and extravaganza
and waste. public and private, are the
principal reasons given for the high cost
of living by a special state commission
which has been investigating the subject
for eight weeks.
One of the most interesting conclusions
is that the tariff. trusts and trade unions
cannot be regarded as direct or active
causes Of the recent general advance of
prices. Although agreeing that the tariff
is not a ConuibutoTy factor, the commits
sion Is OF the opinion that when the tariff
is further revised the expediency of re
moving the duties on food products should
be carefully considered The commission
expressed the opinion that the tariff should
be taken out of politics and placed on a
business basis, as in Germany.
In regard 10 combinations, the commits
sion also feels that. while they cannot be
held responsible for the present conditions,
constant vigilance with reference to the
action of combinations dealing with the
necessares Of life is doubly incumbent.
