A. ID. Found on Mount of Olives.
Advices received in London from
Jerusalem are to the effect that recent
excavations on the summit of the
Mount of Olives resulted in the discov-
cry of the remains of a Christian
church dating from about the year
$50. The floor of the nave is still bur
led. That of the transepts is entirely
exposed.
1t is of mosaic and is perfectly pre-
served. There is a baptismal pool in
the south transept. One tombstone has
been found bearing the inscription
Theodurus IN Greek letters, which is
quite legible. In the chancel there are
two separate mosaic floors of different
design, one thirty inches above the
othed.
The lower is considered to be a floor
of st. Helena's church, dating from
$50, while the upper floor is a restora-
ton by the crusaders. The site is
taken to be that selected as the spot
fixed by the oldest tradition as the
place where Christ taught the disciples
how to pray.

WHAT IS SUCCESS
What is success? A question old
And fairly solved by few
The way that leads to higher life
And conduct grand and true;
The full embodiment of ones best
Intents. regardless quite
OF how the world may criticise
Or cen deny our right.
What is success? To shape our cours,
Among our fel1ow-men
In paths which lead them to the truth
That lies beyond their ken:
And reach a helping hand to those
Who falter in their zeal,
And pour the balm of sympathy
In wounds which slowly heal.
What is success? To stifle hate
And lust and selfish greed,
While with the fruits of hope and love
The multitude we feed;
And speed our faith, our charities.
AS heavens bright sun shines forth.
Until they vitalize mans brotherhood
And circumscribe the EARTH
What is success? To strive each day
To exile dogma, creed, and fear,
And teach that all is ones
That howsoer we drift apart
Through caste. or class, or clan,
The laws of Nature draw us back
And bind US man and man.
What is success? The kindnesses
We scatter day by day
To those who need our offices
And press about our way;
To lift before our brethrenS eyes
The flag of peace and cheer,
Nor seek for heaven in far-off worlds,
But try and build it here.

PASTORS NOVEL IDEA.
Believes Biblical Stories in Newspaper
Style Would Be Attractive.

The novel combination in the pulpit
of a newspaper mans training with
the equipment of a minister is the
up to date idea of Rev. W. H. Jor-

at Jerseyville, ILL.,, a suburb of St.
Louis. The other day he visited a
newspaper office in ST Louis to see
how a daily is gotten out
"The bright and breezy way in
which city reporters write up an event
makes people read the story through
with interest from start to f1nish,"
said Mr.. Jordan. ct have often
thought that if ministers in their ser

paper methods to the extent of turn
ing out more interesting and vivid
copy they would make more impress
sion upon their congregations and at
tract more to the services.

newspaper reporter of today, how Gag

Don't forget that you cannot fail
to increase your happiness by giving
it out.
Don't go to church expecting good
If you have not spent the week pre-
pairing for it.
Don't forget that the brotherhood
of man will not come by turning all
into sisterhood.
Don't try to hide from God, who
sees all men just as they are.
Don't imagine you are praying for
peace when you are but protesting
against punishment.
Don't blame the minister if you are
not benefited by attending church I'M
til you have made certain that it is
not your own fault.
Don't charge against the brethren
the GOODNESS that you feel because you
have neglected your religious duties
and your God.
Don't attempt to force your way
into fellowship with the spiritually
minded, for entry is gained only
through your own spirituality.
