FOREIGN MISSIONS.
.(Continued from page ~

90 without purse and without
scrip" Very well, then, suppose
you bundle up and be off for China,
Japan or some other foreign field,
wherever you feel that you can be
of the most service. For Jesus says
go ye, and if you are his disciple,
he evidently means you. If not,
why not? If this demand is not
made upon you, upon whom is it
made, pray, tell me. Have you
ever prayed earnestly over the mat
ter, or even thought it over serious
ly? Have you ever offered your SER
vices to the Lord. Have you ever
said, Lord, here am l, send me? Or
did you drop a nickle in the basket
when he called you, and said Lord,
send some one else? or did you give
anything at all, if so, how much.
Did you ever make real liberal
offering for missions? Do you give
as the Lord has prospered you!
Does not your very soul go out In
deepest anxiety for the millions,
who are dying without even so
much as having ever heard OF
Christ? Do none of these things
move you to make a free-will offer
inc to help support some one who
is willing to carry the gospel to
those who have it not? Peters
fearful words to Simon, the sorcer-
er, were, "Thy silver perish with
thee, thou hast neither part nor lot
in this matter; for thy heart is not
right before God. Repent therefore
of this thy wickedness, and pray
the Lord, if perhaps the thought of
thy heart shall be forgiven thee.
For see that thou art in the gall
of bitterness and in the bonds of
iniquity." This is a fearful arraign-
ment and an awful sentence, and yet
it is doubtless true of many at the
present time.
On the other hand, if you are not
Christian, the Lord does not re-
quire any thing at your hands nor
should his people expect any thing
from you.
Jehovah says, when We come to
appear before me, who hath requir-
ed this at your hands? Bring no
more vain oblations.' Your burnt
offerings are not acceptable, nor
your sacrifices pleasing unto me-"
''Ihe sacrifice of the wicked is an
abomination; how much more when
he bringeth it with a wicked mind.
While this is true the wicked have
no right to object to the Lords peo-
pie contributing of their means to-
ward the furtherance of Gods
Kingdom. Nor have they any right
to criticise the Christian workers
plans and methods of work. But
the Devil has never ceased to wage
a relentless war on Christ and his
Kingdom since he first met him on
the day he was baptized in that
hand to hand conflict on the noun
tain of temptation, and ne always
has in his employ the wisest Igener-
ais, the keenest, shrewdest men, and
the most cunning hunters whose ap-
petites can, be tempted and birth
rights bought with bowl of pip
ing hot pottage which he always
keeps on hand.

I'm conclusion. I desire TO, call attention
to the following extract from. the Pres!-
dents speech at Springfield. H., with its
attendant warming: ..
There are those conservative protec-
tionists who hand back from an approval
of this agreement on the ground that it
is departure from the principle of pro-
lection and is the opening wedge to let in
free trade. My own view is that no step
could be taken more in tine interest of a
reasonable policy of protection than the
approval of this treaty. The very exist q.
cnce of the policy depends on our aboli-
ton of the tariff where ii is not really
needed under the principle of the last Re
publican platform. If VIC persist in re-
tanning ii in these times OF high prices
aud gradually exhausting food supply and
base our retention on protective principles
we shall rouse an opposition that Will
know no moderation and will not cease
radical economic changes until ii has re-
moved from the statute book the last

OPERA eouFFe ISLAND.
Guam, as "key to the Pacific"
Emerges From Field Of Vaudeville.

They have begun to talk about Guam

concern ourselves about the Philip
pines or our own Pacific coast in case
of war. Some of our gifted strategists

there can be no danger OF the landing
OF an enemy in force in any of our
possessions.

AUTOMATIC CuSh
IONS.
Novel Substitute for Springs and
Shock Absorbers on Motor Cars.

There has recently been invented
by California mining engineer
novel substitute for springs and shock
absorbers on automobiles This Is a
pneumatic cushion which appears to
have advantages. because 1t permits
the use of solid tires.
The inventor of this new device has
found it possible not only to construct
d pneumatic shock absorber, but so to
arrange this that it takes the place of
the spring itself, while at the same
time preventing any rebound.
In its present state this pneumatic
cushion consists simply of round
rubber bulb six or eight inches In
diameter. having an open neck at its
upper end and a small projection at Its
lower. This projection fits into a.
hole in a conical wood block that Is
secured to the axle of the automobile.
while the neck of the bulb is set into
a pipe fitting attached to the body of
the machine. This pipe. of about lis
inches diameter connects to tank
having a capacity of 1000 cubic inches.
Four such bulbs replace the springs
of an automobile. In fitting them to
n car the leaves of the springs are re-
moved with the exception of the outer
heavy leaf, which Is used for steady
ing purposes. All four tubes arc con-
nected by separate pipes to the tank.
The action Of the bulb is as follows:
When awheel of the car passes over
an obstruction the bottom of the bulb
retsing upon the cone shaped block Is
pushed inward, and the surface Of
contact Of the bulb with the block Is
Increased. The heavier the blow the
more the block sinks In, consequently.
there is continuously increasing sup
porting area within the bulb upon
which the air acts, the air being under
compression of about 200 pounds to
the square inch in the bulb, the pipe
line and the tank. AS result of the
increasing ilattcned area in the bot
tom Of the bulb under heavy shock
there is a cushioning effect that in
creases with the blow, and when the
initial shock has been absorbed there
is no rebound. since the air in the
bulb, piping and tank has not been
|appreciably compressed. The cush-
ion acts upon the same principle as
the pneumatic tire. since the support
ing area is increased when the bulb
Is fiattened. in much the same way as
it is with the tire: but in this case
there is no increase in air pressure.
owing to heating of the air, and con-
sequently no liability of bursting.
The air cushion makes 1t possible TO
use solid tires upon all commercial
vehicles no matter what the size. as
we'll as upon pleasure cars where it Is
desired to dispense with the costly
pneumatic. The life of a good solid
tire is easily double that of a pneu-
matte
