In the DENLY Motor Truck company
and National Bank Of Commerce and

company.

There are five Michigan life insur-
ance companies and at the end Of last
year their combined insurance in force
in the state amounted to less than
per cent of the life insurance carried
by the sixty-seven companies from out
of tho state which wrote insurance in
Michigan.
So tar as we know, the Lincoln Life
of Fort Wayne is the first outside COM
pany to elect Michigan directors to It's
board and thus lend the assurance to
it's 1900 Michigan policyholders that
their interests are being looked after
on the board of directors by big busi-
ness men Of their own state. This
move on the part of the Lincoln Life
ought to assure Michigan people that
their interests are receiving careful
attention and that the company merits
the entire confidence Of Michigan peo-
pie.
The Lincoln Life has over twenty
one millions of life insurance in force
and about eight millions of 1t Is on
the lives of Michigan citizens. 1t Is
writing new business In Michigan at
the rate of two million dollars year
and has about 40 per cent Of its entire
assets invested in Michigan farm
loans and municipal bonds. In other
words the life insurance premiums
that have been paid on these Michigan
policies has been reinvested In the
state to help build up the resources of
the Michigan people. This is more
than any other outside company does
and It should result in a greatly in
creased Michigan business for this
splendid company.
The Lincoln Life is seeking to add
to its already splendid agency force
In Michigan and should like to receive
applications from Michigan men or
women who seek employment or de-
sire to better their present positions.
There is no line of work open to the
person Of average education and abil-
ltJ, without capital or influence, In
which the opportunities for accom-
plishing immediate financial returns,
building up substantial income and
attaining to position of Importance
and prominence In the business affairs
Of community. are equal to the OPP
portunities offered by life insurance
agency. The only capital required Is
clean character, a clear head, honesty
of purpose, tact, enthusiasm and big
surplus of indomitable energy and
grim determination to succeed. En-
lowed with these prerequisites the
man or woman who takes up life in
surance work need have no fear of
failure, and IL he or she will carefully
study the business, making the best
possible use Of time and opportuni-
ties, there are no chances on profits.

code upon the taking up of the cross
and the mailing to it of all concupis-
cence.
The superiority of the Christian re-
ligion over all others Is chiefly due to
the elevated standard of its morality.
The visible manifestation Of this SUI
periority appears in the position OF
the Christian woman. In pre-Chris-
tian civilization woman was a slave,
without honor or rights. In the Chris
tan civilization the pure virgin OF
Nazareth, from whom God incarnate
was born, became the ideal woman,
and In Mary all womanhood was ele-
waited. Henceforward woman was
queen of the home, and as the Chris
tian religion grew In power, SO grew
the dignity Of womanhood in influence
and In the respect awarded to It,
The hope Of pure morals, the hope
Of high civilization. Is stainless wo-
manhood; and all wonan's power for
good comes from hei purity and the
love of purity which she has been able
to foster and maintain In the world
around her With the decay Of social
purity woman's reign declines, and
the Christian home gives place to the
harem or the house of sin: with the
degradation Of woman civilization per-
ishes.

THE CONQUEST OF THE MEEK.

(By THEODORE KEMP, LII. D., Prest-
dent Illinois Wesleyan University
The world spirit says, Blessed
are tho men Of iron purpose, for thay
shall rule the world" Blessed are
the rich for they shall possess the
earth" Blessed are the strong for
they shall be masters of men," But
Jesus said. blessed are the meek for
they shall inherit the earth"
The teachings of Jesus in this re-
spect, as In many others, were direct
ly antagonistic to the teachings of
the age In which he lived, and too
often to the spirit of the age in which
we live. The meek man is rather the
last person whom we should expect
to inherit the world. He has not
enough backbone and aggressiveness
he does not seem to be warlike enough
In defending his rights or insisting
upon the rights of others. He is some
times suspected OF being cowardly
or of lacking the spirit Of heroism, but
Jesus exalts him to the place of
1t 10 not because he is weak, but
because his position Is strong. He
does not fight for his rights: he does
not push other folks out of his way;
he comes to his kingdom by the in.
herent strength of his character. He
rules not by his own aggressiveness,
but by the consensus of the admira-
ton and love OF his fellows. His en-
pire Is not that OF force. 1t is rath-
er that of kindness and good will.
His dominion is founded not by might
nor by power, but he carries the spir-
1t of the Lord. He has courage. but
he will not use It to push others out
Of the way. nor to gain selfish ends
His gentleness. his unselnsh love for
others, his desire to be worthy. his
aspiration to be good and unselfishly
helpful. are the patents of his nobil-
ity. The spirit Of the unselfish, hum
BILE and unresisting Christ makes his
position impregnable and his iufiu-
ence and power over men Irresistible.

The Saxons who invaded England
In the fifth and subsequent centuries
were bloodthirsty pirates, who mfur-
dered all the native inhabitants they
could lay hands on. and drove the rest
into distant forests and mountains.
Certain primitive virtues they no
doubt had. They we're brave and en-
terprising, were accustomed to tell
the truth, and. like all the Germans,
they held their women In high regard.
On the other hand, they were quarrel
some, rapacious and cruel. SO far as
we can gather, the invading Saxon
had not much more religion than a
Moro or a Zulu. In 597 the first mis-
sionaries were sent to these barbarian
Englishmen, and in about seventy-five
years, less than the time that has
elapsed since the Mexican war, the

ocean. In that time the Bible had
found them, and had begun to revolu-
tionize their views Of heaven and
earth. The God of their new religion
was one God. he was all-powerful, he
loved beauty and sublimity, and he
was as kind as he was mighty. All
this we know from Caedmon's first
bit Of verse. Here 1t is:
Now must we hymn the Master Of
heaven.
The might OF the Maker. the deeds Of the
Father,
The thought of his heart. He. Lord
everlasting,
Established of old the source OF all won

Greater all-holy. He hung the bright
A roof high upreared. Ger the children

The King of mankind then created for

The world in its beauty, the earth spread

With these few lines, composed by
a peasant who could not read, English
literature began.

It will readily be admitted that great

knowledged that the sculpture which
Is inspired by the Bible contains loftier
conceptions and makes stronger ap-

the works Of those earlier sculptors.
