ouR MODERN MINISTER'S.

OOR MOO6hN MINIS TERS.
We heal nowadays a great
deal abGst the lack of attend
ance at religious services, which
some clergymen are pleased to
attribute to change in the be-
llefs of men. Yet this is by no
means the whole, even If it Is
in any sense the correct, expla-
nation. Mems minds have not
changed about religion, though
Ii is doubtless true that they
have ceased to regard certain
doubtful, debatable ScripturaI in
cidents as fundamental pare
of belief. but in all essential
things the man of understand
ing more and more, as the myS-
terry Of life is borne in upon him.
reverts to its religious interpreta-
ton. The trouble is that in our
churches dogma is so frequently
confused with belief. and the
view seems to be entertained by
many clergymen that, in order
to he assured of interested listen
ers. things merely ethical or
which SAVIOR even of the sensa-
tional must be discussed. Too
often for the fervent preacher Of
bygone days. with his quickening
message. there is now che substi-
tute of the prOsaic lecturer upon
very obvious themes, and the
fires of aspiration are burning
perilously low in many sermon
we hear in this generation. The
pulpit in very pronounced way
has been transformed into the
lecture platform, and one rea-
son why the churches are not
filed as of old with intellectual
men and women is not because
religious convictions have died
out, but rather because the sub
stance of what Is heard from the
preacher is no longer in the high
est sense religious and the meth
cd of presentation of even worthy
ideas no longer persuasive.-Jo-
seph S. Auerbach.

End of Tunnel OH Western Maryland

Saturday night, just as the clock
struck liz man operating a steam
drill i'm the southern head of the Biz
Savage tunnel on the Western Mary
lands extension to Connellsville saw
the drill lunge forward indicating q
total lack Of resistance to it, progress
through the solid rock, and when the
long bar Oh highly tempered steel was
withdrawn, the man, by cTouching
down, saw several stars shining bril-
liantly in the sky beyond the northern
end OF the tunnel, and h. knew that
the two headings OF the Big Savage
were connected AFT last.
The bad air charged with smoke
and gas, which the Workmen i'm the
heading had been compelled to breathe
for months became clarified as though
by magic, and the cool night air soon
filled the bore throughout its $500 feet
OF length-the end of the tunnel had
been reached.
There remains plenty OF work to
do in the tunnel vet, but it can now
be prosecuted under the most favor

Drinking Troughs and Chambers.

That CHAMBERS il easily spread

drinking fountain or trough on the
street may furnish an excellent med
ium for transmitting the ma1ady Is
beyond question. What therefore
shall be done? Shall all our water
ing places for horses be closed up?
Street-cars, sleeping-cars, churches,
schools, theatres, the streets OF every
city where the dust blows into your
face,-these, and many other places
and things, furnish excellent oppor-
tunities for the spread OF contagious
diseases. No doubt many people
have contracted consumption, typhoid
fever, and other ills to which flesh is
heir from riding down town In an
electric car,or from being at "a religious
service Still we hardly think 1t wise
M@ abolish the street-car or close the
Streets or give up our schools and

them 80 outweighs the possible op-
portunities for evil that we wisely
take our chances. Whether or not
there are microbes in Heaven we do
not know. We certainly cannot eS-

IN London there is an association

worthy careful consideration by those
who are Directing SO seriously to the

number Of cases Of CHAMBERS in the
county OF London was 1,945, whereas
to 1910 there were only 594, and dur
ing 1911 the number was further re-
duced, yet during these periods the
number of troughs was consider
ably augmented. "a half mil
lion horses and 100000 people drink
daily at these troughs, and during
1910 the consumption of water was
estimated at S1,612,000 gallons

elevator of the St. Anthony and d.
kota Elevator company at Langdon
containing between $4,000 and 10000
bushels CT grain was burned to the

Attempts were made on Monday

time but in spite of the guard the
fire fiend accomplished his purpose.
The elevator destroyed was one of the
Oldest and at the same time one Of
the first built in Cavalier county.
Sam Burnett, buyer for the elevator.
said last evening that there was be-
tween 10000 and 100000 bushels Of
grain in the house. There was be-
tween 1900 and 1900 bushels of flax

of barley and between $4,000 and 3d.
600 bushels of wheat. The building
