Beaupre, in Quebec. The spectacle to be witnessed there of multitudes docking to the famous church to seek the intercession of the good saint is pathetic and touching, even to the hardened materialist The faith, that can move mountains of spiritual. nnen- tai and physical distress is displayed by the afflicted at those saGed spots. and it is this. more than any expec- tation of the supernatural, that makes mere onlookers bow their heads in reverence. Auto-suggestion is the ex- planation offered by the scientists of the cures annually effected at the shrines Be this as it may the fact remains that enough compelling faith is engendered in thousands of pathet- icaliy warped bodies to permit them to drag themselves to the altar and to 50 away with the certainty that the mother of the Virgin has taken pity on them. At some of the shrines there are thousands of crutches left DGnl0Q Dy LuG pd& dlyLiC anu lAC SIApT pied who have had no further use for such aids to locomotion.
 The Gideons of old, armed only with pitchers, marched seven times around the city of Jericho and the walls crumbled to the ground. Att lanta expects no such fate as the re- suit of the gathering in that city to- day of the modern Gideons. for the Georgia capital is a "dry" town and as such meets the requirements of the order of Christian travelling men, assembled in international convention. From all over the United States and Canada the "drummers" will meet in Atlanta, leaving their sample cases behind, to discuss plans and projects for carrying on their work, AL ready they have placed Bibles in ho- tel rooms throughout America, and ~

His Brothers Keeper

Christian institutions destroy
their usefulness when they accept
contributions and raise public sub
scriptions for maintaining costly
equipment and buildings, and then
turn fallen men from their doors
without even offering them a help
ing hand. Ironclad rules Of con.
duet would wreck our old and estab-
lished churches, and we doubt not
but that the dimfnsions of regular
offerings diminish the gravity Of
many violations of those organiza-
tlons which lavishly purport to be
guardians of spirit, mind and body.
Can an institution that depends
largely on public, donations accept
only graduated and highly cultur.
ed Christians? Examinations on
Christianity, similar to a graded or
high school quiz on, say mathemat-
les, would prove a difficult task,
aud, if popular, many "hlgher ups
would be like the worried college
president, who, upon being asked
by his wife to explain his uneasiness,
said: "I was just thinking what ]
would do if the trustees were to re.
quire me to pass the freshman ex.
animation"
The institution that, as near as
it can, teaches the word of God,
need not offer an excuse for its ex-
istence, nor be ashamed to seek and
accept worthy donations. 1t does
need, however, to keep inconsisten.
cy from its doors, for such an IN.
sutution cannot court the publIc's
favor, and at the same time use its
offices to further kick the man who
is down.
Christianity is broad and much
discussed question. Christian and
political wars have filled pages Of
bloody history, and the fact yet re-
mains that Christianity must be
democratic. When one church says
to the other, "you convert train
robbers and save crackers, and let

Obituary
Nliddlebrook

Mlddlebrook, July 20.
On Saturday, July l3, the death
angel came into the home Of NJ
and Mrs. J. r. Johnston and took
away Little Vola Johnston, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dee
Johnston. Though little Vola was
young, she was of the very sweetest
character and all who bad ever
known her had thought that her
life would be life noted for its
usefulness.
But, God in His great wisdom
has seen best to call her from this
world Of trouble and take her to be
with Jesus and the angels. Now
little VIOLA is reaplng her reward in
the great city of God and anxiously
waits the coming of loved ones
left here.
To those who are so bereft and
heart broken we would say that we
must trust all to God and be sub
missiye to His divine will. We
must sometime cross the same river
that little VIOLA has crossed and may
we so live that when that time
comes our hopes for the great be-
yond are as great as were her hopes.
God has said, "Suffer the little
ones to come unto mt, and forbid
them not, for of such is the King
dom of Heaven" May the father
and mother find great comfort in
these words and may they realize
that Gods work is mysterious, but
without mistake. We extend our
greatest sympathy to the bereaved
father, mother and other relatives.

to haul these various crops to mar
ket. Had we an improved syst em
OF highways tins cost would have
been reduced at least so per cent,
and the farmers would have saved
$4,000, 900, or enough money to
have built eighteen hundred miles
of first class macadamizel road.
These figures present the case in
concrete form. The subject can be
easily grasped and understood by
referring to them. When the lords
of the soil and the producing masses
realize that by spending money
they can save, there will be less OPP

The Cost OF Mud Roads

Some interesting figures are given
by the commissioner of agriculture
IN a recent report on the cost to the
farmers Of Tennessee Of bad roads.
The article was prepared by Charles
Q. Gilbert, an authority on the sub
ject, who states that $4,000, 900 is
paid annually by the farmers of
Tennessee for tie use of mud roads,
and he takes his statistics from the
figures given out by the federal
government. This mud tax, as it
is called, which the farmers of
Tennessee are paying, is more than
all their other taxes combined.
They are paying it regularly, and
without any returns whatever.
During last year the value in
Tennessee of corn, wheat, oats,
potatoes, hay tobacco aud cotton
was SlO3, 100000. BY actual sta
tistics it cost the farmers Ss, 900, ,OCO
