Go view this jewel as it lies, large
and lustrous,
Upon it's velvet cushion, mid frost
Of fretted gold and the glare of dia-
monds
With their pure cold brightness.
Stand here-then there
Note its irised beauty. See how it
blinds
The CLINT of clearest light with hint
of rose
And sofest azure from the depths of
Heavens own tenderest hue.
Then lend thine ear and list! 1t sings
a song.
Dreamy and sweet it's voice,
Tuned to the sigh of waves and muir
mur of the ocean spray
Bend lower now thine ear;
1t speaks to thee.

sea,
From depths that are cool and green
But of all the being that people the
waves
was far most despised and mean.
"They scorned me, the creatures there
large and small.
They called me a parasite, ev
And shrinking they turned from my
merest touch.
Their beauty they thought I would
blight.
"I knew it full we'll, but what could
do?
My destiny must be fulfilled.
So l made no struggle against my
fate,
But went as the strong waves willed.
"They bore me at last to mollusk's
shell
And I sank thro' the gritty wall
But the delicate creature quivered
with pain,
And terror that seemed to appall.
at loathed me, knew by the fearful
throbs,
By the shudders that shook it's

But it did not struggle, nor fret, nor

Nor its fate, nor its fortune blame.
"But it took of its treasures dainty
and rare
And toiled with skill so true,
That over my ugliness, fold and fold,
Grew rose color, silver and blue.

And more than royal grace
1t lifted me up from the depths pro-
found,
And gave me this beautiful face.

I'll sing my song of the sea,

May learn lesson from me.
Hast thou sorrow that rasps thy
soul?
A duty thou fain wouldst spurn?
Then draw on thy treasury, patience
and love,
A clod to gem ma yturn.
And when thou shalt stand by the

Set up near the Crystal ses,
This jewel so painfully wrought may
prove of great price for thee"

$182.773.OO

from this 1t Will be seen that we
need $17,227.00 to complete the fund
to $200,000.OO. 1t would be we'll for
us to raise at least $2O,0OO.OO more.
The Committee is of the firm con-
viction that the balance can be raised
and will be raised. We appreciate
that the Church is on trial, that we
are undergoing test. We are con-
scious that the question is being
raised, "Can we make good?"
We know there are tremendous is
sues at stake and that we can not af-
ford to fail. While it may cost much
to succeed it will cost thousand
times more to fail. We not only
must succeed, but we must do so
soon.
There are many consideration
which make it all but imperative that
we bring the canvass to successful
completion by the close of this month,
and this we are now planning to do.
$20O,O00.00 at per cent interest
amounts to $4,000 a year or $1,000
a month, so every month we delay the
beginning of collections we are losing
this amount in interest. The older the
subscriptions get the more liable they
are to shrinkage and at the low esti-
mate of a loss if 2k per cent annual
ly this amounts ii $5,O00.00 a year.
The expense of conducting the can
vass is about 100000 a year. So
for economic reasons it is important
that we bring the canvass to a speedy
completion.
We are going to continue the plan
we have been using of going back to
those churches which have not sub
scribed their full apportionment and
to certain individuals and asking
both for increased subscriptions, but
instead of employing a few men to do
this we are now planning to use a
L.sfge number. Further, we have di-
|frded churches by counties and are
asking one man to become RESPONSE
BILE for seeing all the churches in
county and also to raise a certain
amount within the county. Again,
these men are requested to make
their canvass at the same time, viz,
tn second week in this month. These
leaders of the canvass will not, in
every case, do all the soliciting but
may call to their aid any persons
they choose whom they can get.
In this statewide, simultaneous
canvass by counties, to be conducted
during the second week of March we
hope to practically close the canvass
and to close it successfully.
May we not ask you to lend your
selves, without reserve, intelligently,
energetically to this final effort and
so help us inscribe the word "Victo-
ry" across our banner? We also in
vite you to join us in earnest, inn
Fortunate prayer, pleading with our
God to cause us to be generous and
faithful in the face of this exacting
opportunity.
Remember, this is a mutual un-
dertaking and we are counting on YOU
to stand by us and help us win. In
behalf of the Committee,
Respectfully yours,
A. c. Bridgman.
Your county is asked to raise $500
more.
The leader in your county is ]. F..

Pray. Speak approvingly, hopeful
ly, encouragingly.
Give. Ask others to do likewise.

tion.

CURRENCY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Administration Measure Is Ap.
proved to 81. !.
FEW CHANGES ARE MADE.
Bill Goes to Senate in Practically the
Same Shape as It Was Re-
ported From Committee.

Washington, Sept. 19.--The admin.
istration currency bill reached the end
Of the first stage of it's legislative ca
reer, passage by the house by vote
OF 2S6 to 81. The measure, complet-
ed in detailed consideration after
three days OF efforts to amend, reach.
ed final vote in the house practical.
ly unchanged in it's essential provi.
sions.
Some house Democrats were inclin.
ed to look with disfavor on an amend.
ment incorporated in the measure at
the suggestion of the banking COM
mittee. The amendment, proposed
~ Representative Fess (Rep., o. in.
|cluded a statement that none of it's
provisions were calculated to repeal
the law of 1900 prescribing the gold
money standard or to disturb the par.
|ity of money.
Chairman Glass, however, declared
that the amendment only made clear
the meaning of the bill as originally
framed. A few minor amendments
changing phraseology or designed to
make clear possible antiquities in the
bill were the only changes made de.
spite the consideration of hundreds
OF amendments offered by Republic.
ans and Progressives.
Now Goes to Senate.
Passed by the house the bill will
go to the senate, where lengthy con.
sideration before the banking commit.
tee awaits 1t. 1t will probably be
some weeks before the measure is re-
ported to the senate, where further
debate is expected to delay the final
passage of the bill.
Representative Wingo of Arkansas
demanded a record vote on the so
called gold standard amendment and
on division 165 Democrats and Re.
publicans voted for it and As Demo-
Gratis voted against it. A roll call
was ordered. The roll call changed
the vote to 298 in favor of the amend.
ment to 81 against it. All those vot-
Ing mo" were Democrats.
The Progressives offered a motion
to recommit the bill to the commit
tee with instructions to incorporate a
provision to prohibit interlocking di.
rectorates in national banks. It was
defeated, 2O6 to II.

BANANAS TO REMAIN
ON THE FREE LIST
Senate Conterees Recede From
Their Position.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The tariff
conference committee has voted to
leave bananas on the free list. After
a long controversy in which the in
tluence of President Wilson was
thrown in favor of the continued free
importation of the fruit the senate
conferees receded from their amend
ment. The senate conferees also gave
way to the duty on lemons, lines,
grape fruit and similar fruits, leaving
the rates as fixed by the house, based
on the measurements of packages.
A critical study of the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill to determine
whether it will produce enough rev.
enue for governmental needs was
still under way when the tariff confer.
ence committee resumed work. Re-
ductions by the senate have in many
instances been opposed by the house
conferees on the ground that they
would cut the revenues beyond the
margin of safety.
Chairman Simmons of the senate
conferees has announced that the bill
would amply meet the revenue needs
of the nation. Some of the more inn
portant disputes, however, are on ar
ticles on which house members fear
reduction of rates will mean too
much loss of revenue.

RETAINS ORE FREIGHT TAX
Minnesota May Sue Great Northern
for $4,000.

Minnesota May Sue Great Northern
for $4,000.
The Great Northern railroad has as
yet failed to pay to the state the
$4,000 in taxes alleged to be due
on gross earnings from ore shipments
from the Mesabi range to the Allouez
Bay docks at Superior. Public Exam
liner Andrew E. Fritz certified the tax
to the state commission ten days ago
and that body instructed State Audi
tor 1verson to draw on the company
for the amount. The draft has not
yet been honored and after holding
it thirty days, as required by law, the
state treasurer will transmit it to
Attorney General Smith to begin legal
proceedings.
1t is generally understood in official
circles that the Great Northern will
fight payment to the last and should
the attorney general hold that the
state has valid claim one of the big
gest legal battles with a railroad in
the history of the state will begin.
