Mexico's Financial Difficulties

 The endorsements of the Mexican government continue to multiply Not only the revolutionfsts decline to from revoluting but a financial crisis of most disturbing character is now faced
 According to reports from Mexico City the government must obtain less than 10000 900 pesos, $10000000 in American money, within the very near future to it from bankruptcy. It has cost Mexico large of money carry campaigns against the active insurrectos, and the two successive revolutions have resulted in an immense drain upon the treasury. Not only this but the governments receipts have declined it's necessary expenditures have increased, that a ment to make its potential wealth an active and prosperity producing force, is experiencing pinch of poverty.
 The that have resulted in the with draWal of much foreign capital from Mexico in the last two years and have at least postponed the further exploitation of the countrys great natural resources making it exceedingly difficult for the government to obtain loan in foreign money markets Mexico is back again in the ditiOn in which POrfirio Diaz found it and from which, to give him his due, he rescued it. Its credit is strained and weakened that foreign investors chary of lending it their money. Wall street, it is reported, has turned down ne gotators who propose try their luck in other financial capitals though without much hope of overwhelming success.
 Mexico Is learning the great lesson that there is difference between liberty and license, and that real free institutions only exist among a people who are capable. morally and intellectually. of appreciating and supporting them.
 It is old lesson but vital Any nation which wants to gain freedom must learn it, and no nation which wants to maintain freedom all ready gained can afford to forget it.

At the Crossroads

G c. Wellman in the Christian Herald) An old man sat at the cross roads
 On a stone by the village street He was Weary and and travels stained
 And faint from the dust and heat And his gray head dropped as he sat there
 With hunger and travel spent While the noon-day throng went hurryng by
 On their hOmeward journey bent, And l passed by with the others
 In that needless current caught That reckS the stranger poor
 Nor the homeless wanderers lot But the picture left it's image:
 I could drive it away; And thought of One who would surely have paused Had he been in the crowd that day How His sought the outcast
 Who barred from his fellows door, How He gave His hand to the woman shamed
 And bade her sin no more l saw Him kneel by the leper As he shuddered and cried "Unclean!" And health and joy and manhood came
 At the touch of the Nazarene They sitting there at the cross roads,
 Weary and faint-alone There many bowed with a sinners shame
 Or a shame that is not their It may be friendless orphan
 Or slave in the thrall of drink Your path may lead to a happy home
 And his to the rivers brink The wretched, the weak the burdened,
 The pilgrim with way-worn feet They are sitting there as the old
 At the place where the crossroads meet Oh, finger a bit at the wayside.
 And let your heart be heard As it bids you pause by your brother man
 And give him cheering word. For the life that loves is lovely
 And the soul that gives expands And the heart that to a brothers need Is like to the Son Mans And the need will be right royal
 When He says to you and me- "Inasmuch you did the least of these
 Ye have done it unto me"
