is THIS CONFINEMENT?

IF l could be content with a very
easy berth and very generous salary
among the most charming people in
the world, the position l now hold
would be plain and clear and my fu
ture settled, but l cannot be content
with a work that seems to me to be
small" These are the words of Dr.
Charles F. Aked, pastor of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church in New York
commonly known as the John D.
Rockefeller church.
An expression like this by a gifted
man is what people everywhere want
to hear 1t goes far toward refutine
that erroneous idea held by many per
sons that the end to be aimed at in
All efforts is ease and luxury. Here is
a man who seems to have all that any
one could ask for in the ministry, but
he says: "Give me work for my
hands,"
Doctor Aked's view lends force to
the thought that no man, who is really
what a man ought to be, can be fully
contented and have the greatest self.
respect unless he Is working to the
very limit Of his powers. His action
will be no surprise to those who have
read his splendid thoughts and ideals
copied and quoted like classics in
periodicals of the country.

ON COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

The commission form of government
should extend to the counties, accord.
ing to an editorial by ]. R. Lowell OF
the Moberly Democrat. He says in
part:
"The wave of commission govern.
ment seems to have struck this state
with full force, If one is to Judge by
the bills introduced in the legislature
and the active efforts Of many cities of
the state. There has been a wonder.
full change in the manner of conduct
ing all other lines of business, then
why not in governmental affairs? If
it is good for cities, then why not for
counties?
County government is more cum
bersome and antiquated, if possible.
than is the city. 1t was in the first
instance apparently planned to be as
expensive as possible. Its purpose
seemed to be to provide as many Of
fetal positions as possible, irrespec-
tive of the amount Of work to be done.

affairs and could run 1t as he would
his own, hiring only such help as he
found absolutely necessary, he could,
in ten years, with the present amount
of taxes, conduct the county's affairs
and build good road around every
section Of land in the county"
County government under the COM
form seems likely to be the
result Of the plan, II it proves sue
cessful in the cities. The demand for
efficiency is so strong that respons!-
bility must be fixed in q central

 Deliberately enough the carter swerved his beasts aside to make way for the tonga, lest by undue haste he should make himself seem other than what he was-a free man and a Rajput. But when his fierce, hawk like eyes encountered those of the dak traveller, his attitude changed cu- riously and completely. Recognition and reverence fought with surprise in his expression, and as Ram Nath swung the tonga past the man sa- laamed profoundly His voice. as he rose. came after them, resonant and clear:
