shocked to lear "t the death "t tie

but could not do 80, until she was
so horribly burnt that she died, in

friends are shocked to learn of her

able. enjoin family prayer.
Methodist Preacher in 1889 were
required to ask Pensioners if they

neglected family worship he should
be reproved by the Session, and If
he did not amend he should be de-.
barred from the Lords Supper.

later Mr.. Mckinley was elected
ruling elder of Centennial, and he
held that honorable office till his
death. When his father, who had !
been living with him, passed to the
better life, Mr.. Mckinley took up
his fathers habit Of conducting fami-
ly worship and thereafter kept the
fire eyer burning on the family
altar. He lived a clean and con-
5ecrated Christian life and was
highly respected as a man and citi-
zen. He was industrious, and made
! comfortable home for his family.
To his family he was devote d
husband and father, and he was al
ways willing TO deny himself for the
good and happiness of others.
On Wednesday, January Is, 1918,
1t 10 M. after a brief illness
rom pneumonia, he passed away.
His sorrowing family and friends
ament only their own bereavement,

he Lord who redeemed him.
The grief stricken family have
he sincere sympathy of all.

One brother is very successful:
His habits are perfect, ] hear,
From smoking he shrinks, as well a;
from drinks,
And he makes thirty thousand q

Folks say he's a model, this brother,
But the model is hopelessly bad.
For ] fear he's ashamed of his mother
And l know he's ashamed of his dad
His brothers not very successful
AS most people reckon success
He frolics and jokes, he drinks and he
smokes;
He's a sheep in a pretty black dress
He's a wild Kind of fellow, this brother
But he isn't a sanctified cad,
For he isn't ashamed of his mother
And he isn't ashamed of his dad.
They ask for assistance; he hears them
And keeps them from worry and woe,
His laugh ineXpressibly cheers them,
AS 1t did in the days long ago.

INDUSTRIAL AND MILITARY
>.....~ POSITION OF GERMANY

changes tend, unless adequate correc-
tives be applied, to close up industrial
markets to the population of Austria
Hungary n to jeopardize their outlet
on the Adriatic; politically considered,
they combine to impair the sense Of
security.
All this feeling Of unrest among a
commercial and political ties of Ger
many are so close, cuold hardly fail
to have its effect in the great indus
trial and financial centers of German
activity, Nor should it be wondered
at that it has transferred the sphere
of German solitude from that of
naval expansions to the increase both
in numbers and efficiency of the
standing army. The dislocation of
the trade of Central Europe which has
attended the var has effected the
prosperity of German industry in a
somewhat indirect fashion. There has
been no decline in foreign trade; on
the contrary, the figures for January
showed a total Of imports amounting
to $235, 600, 900, against $780, 00, 900 a
year ago, and for exports. of 100000
900, against $155, 000, 900 in 1912. But
with all this there was a notable in
crease in bankruptcies during Janu-
airy, and commercial houses reported
extraordinary difficulty in making col
lections. Conditions like these are
probably incidental to- the extremely
narrow margin of fluid capital on
which the great industrial and COM
mercial business of Germany is con-
Quoted. The rate of material progress
has been so rapid and the reinvest-
ment of the returns of Industrial
enterprise so universal, that wealth
has accumulated mainly in the on
crete form of the instruments of pro-
duction. When returns from these are
easy and profitable, all goes well, but
when any strain is placed on what
may be called the Of nation
al credit there are immediate indica-
tons of distress. Germany has, by
the conclusion of commercial treaties
with her neighbors in Europe, improv-
ed on the natural advantages of her
| position, and it was but a few years
ago that she was supposed to be
working for a Central European
Customs. Union of States by which
she hoped to become the most favored
~purveyor of manufactured articles to
that portion of Europe which has been
most profoundly disturbed by the
| events of the war in the Balkans. The
disturbance will pass probably with
out seriously affecting the industrial
growth and prosperity of Germany,
but 1t will not pass without leaving
heavier military burdens on the Ger
man people.
