7. N. c. A. MEN OF
ORIENT ARE
VISITORS


Z. s. Brown, physical director of
the Manila Y. NJ. G.. A.. and II. r.
Voorhees,, an association secretary OF
Japan, who were through passengers
on the Pacific Mail liner Chiyo Maru
which left for the Coast yesterday,
paid a visit to the local Young Mems
Christian Association Wednesday and
spent considerable time in confer.
ence with the secretaries, The two
association men from the Orient are
on their way to the Coast for a Yaca-
ton of six months. - .".
During Mr.. Browns three years
connection with the Manila associa-
ton he has demonstrated the thorough
possibilities of physical work being
done in warm climate and has made
his gymnasium classes extremely
popular both with the government OF,
ficials and other citizens of Manila.
One of the greatest aids of his work,
he said, was the fact that nearly
everybody there participates in gym
nasium work and athletics. Monday
evening Mr.. Brown held conference
with the secretaries of the boys de-
partment of the local association and
Wednesday morning with Physical Di-
rector Lau and General Secretary
Super, explaining the scheme he has
worked out which made his work in
Manila a success. Some of his plans.
it is expected, will be adopted here.
Mr.. Voorhees, has had an unique
experience in Japan. He went there
hi Ton ah0r. In, fh3N
government schools in the Omi prov
ince with the understanding that he
could teach private Bible classes out
side school hours. Within a short time
he had made Bible study so popular
that he had more than 300 pupils in
his different classes, and at length
the Buddists began to oppose his
work. This opposition resulted in his
having to resign as teacher in the
government schools. But he was not
the man to run away from hard
job, and decided to remain where he
was and continue his Bible classes.
At the same time he decided to earn
his living by practicing architecture.
which he had learned while in col
lege..
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of Japan was attracted by his
splendid success, and made him one
of the secretaries. This happened six
years ago and the man who was
fired" from the government schools
now has an employed force of more
than thirty workers in his associa.
ton, is one Of the leading men of the
province and has been highly COM
mended by the very editor who clam
ored most loudly for his discharge
from the government schools Mr..
Voorhees, spoke before the members
of the Bible Study Club of the local
association Monday evening. The as.
ISOLATION has invited Mr.. Brown to
spend month in Honolulu on his
return from the Coast.

purpose of D.. Sperry's lectures in
this city and the need of a greater in
sight into education pertaining to sex
matters. DR.. Sperry spoke in part as
fellows: ...
II am disappointed that there are
notsmcre young men Of the city in the

there. are many who are greatly in
need of the suggestions which | am
about TO offer Before taking up my
subject there are a few facts which
I would like to mention which per-
tain in a way to the things which !
am going to say. Of the number of
children born in the United States.
The average number live to be no more
tIIan 40 years old; 20 per cent of them
die within year from the day thew
ale born; one-haIf of them grow to
maturity. Now, if every child born
were to grow to manhood and become
fcur-fourths man, people would still
be young at 100 years Of age. The
trouble is that these days there is
very little done for human better

oHI0's new PRISON LAW

August new prison law went into eff
feet in Ohio, by which prisoners are to be
paid for their labor, the money going to
the support of their families.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer says that a
scale of compensation will be fixed, and
that prisoners will no longer shake off the
responsibility of caring for their depen-
dents or be compelled by harsh system of
justice to leave their dependents uncared
for.
In other words, while the older system
visits upon the wife and children of an of
fender against the law a large part of the
punishment provided for him, the new sys-
tenn Furnishes him alone, and retains for his
dependents the fruits of his labor
Says the Buffalo Inquirer: ''The pur-
pose of this law is good, and proper ad-
ministraton should make the prisoner a
contributor to the support of his family.
Without indulging. in hippancy, however,
it may be remarked that the better the law
works the sadder it will be for some fami-
lies when dad gets out of Jail. In prison
under this law, too many husbands and
fathers will do more for their families than
outside of it. Duluth Herald

A TRUE FRIEND

Gentlemen of the Jury; The best friend
a man has in this world may turn against
him and become his enemy. His-.son or
daughter that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those whom
we trust with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors to their faith.
The money that man has he may loose.
1t flies away from him perhaps when he
needs it most. A mans reputation may
be sacrificed in a moment of i'll considered
action. The people who are prone to fall
on their knees to do us honor when sue
cess is with us, may be the first to throw
the stone of malice, when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads. The one abso-
lutely unsel6sh friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that never deserts
him, the one that never proves ungrateful or
treacherous, is his dog. Gentlemen of the
Jury: A mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in health and in
sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground
where the wintry winds blow and the
snow drives fercely if only he may be near
his masters side. He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer; he will lick the
wounds and sores that come in encounter
with the roughness of the world. He
guards the sleep of his pauper master as if
he were prince. When all other friends
desert, he remains. When richness takes
to wings and reputation falls to pieces, he
is as constant in love, as the sun in it S
journey through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth, an outcast in the
world, friendless and homeless, the faithful
dog asks no higher privilege than that of
accompanying him to guard against dan
ger, to fight against his enemies; and when
the last scene of all comes, and death takes
the master in his embrace and his body is
laid away in the cold ground, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way,
there by his graveside will the noble dog
be found, his head between his paws, his
eyes sad but open, in alert watchfulness,
faithful even to death.-Ex. Would that
this town had lots of people that were like
good dog.-Princeton News.

CONNECTICUT FACES PROBLEM

Connecticut has been going through its
annual conflict over the contract labor sys-
tenn at the state prison at Wethers6eld.
The Legislature has not voted to abolish
contract labor. Colonel N. G. Osborne,
one of the directors of the prison, has writ
ten that the prison authorities of Connecti-
cut hold no brief for the particular form of
contract labor that prevails at the prison,
bat they do hold brief for some kind of
useful and productive labor that will, in
part, return to the state earnings as nearly
as possible equal to the maintenance of the
prisoner The prison board protests
against the idleness that might accompany
the abolition of the contract labor system
but offers no objection to the appointment
of commission to study the various forms
of prison labor in use in this city and of
other countries, Sex.

AID FOR RELEASED PRISONERS

Prominent society women of Atlanta
will give dance at Lakewood for the
United States Prison relief fund, establish
ed for the men who are released from the
Federal Prison.
This dance, according to those interested
in the matter, is only the first of series
of social functions which will be given
from time to time for the benefit fund for
the released men who are now turned
adrift in the world without means of sup
port for themselves and families. The
promoters of the project want to make
good citizens of them, they say; and all
that is necessary for this is financial start.
1t is br this purpose that the relief fund
will be raised. Between So, 900 and SIS, 900
will be raised, it is said, and deposited in a
local bank as permanent fund. The At

learn anything, or do anything, unless you
are willing to work for it. Splendid op-
portunities are going begging simply be-
cause someone wants another job; an easier
job, or at least one that looks easier All
jobs look easy to the uninitiated, and all
work is easy to the man who puts the right
spirit into his work, but, on the other hand,
to the chronic crouch, to the man who is
just trying to get by, everything he
tackles is a hard proposition.
A man is a fool to want another job be-
fore he has become thoroughly familiar
with the task he has before him. 1t is
only the men who, are experts in every
different line of their trade who are in
great demand.
You can find any number of men who
have smattering of half dozen trades
and they are unable to hold steady situa-
ton because of the fact that they cannot
perform any one task we'll.
In the daily task before you in this insti-
tuition you have chance to prove you
are capable of something better. Make
each successive piece of work you turn out
be just little better than the one proceed
ing. Put more energy, snap and ginger
into your daily task. Take an interest in
your work and though the reward may be
slow in coming, come it surely must, and
then you can enjoy the fruits of your la
bor.-Ind. Reflector.

THE VALUE OF A TRADE

There is always an opening for the man
who knows how. Times may he hard and
money scarce, unframed men may be laid
off, but the trained man is kept on the job.
1t takes hard work to learn trade and
consequently the expert draws large SAL
ary today for the years he spent gathering
the knowledge that enables him to hold his
position. The expert possibly paid large
sum for. the privilege of working under
competent instructors in the line of work
he intended to follow, and those appren-
ticeship days seemed hard ard weary, but
ever before his eyes was the vision of some
day being an expert, of being capable of
instructing beginners, and that knowledge
cheered him on to renewed efforts.
Most of the fnen in this institution have
an opportunity to learn good trade if they
are willing to work for it. You can t
