Judgment and great tact.

judgment ana great tact.
Children should be treated as
children, not as adults. They
need the sincere milk of the
Word: the truth given in broken
doses put in the form of pictures
illustrations, ETC., suit them best
The colts trough should be
nearer the ground than that of
the full grown horse. "Put the
cookies on the lower shelf" |
fear many of us ministers ig-
more these injunctions in much
of our preaching. In saying
this, l cast no reflections upon
our hearers, but say it by way
of caution and warning to my
brothers in the ministry.
Pope says: "The proper study
of mankind, is man." Someone
suggests this change: "Theprop-
er study of mankind, is a child"
Properly feed and shepherd
the lambs and there will be no
trouble about the sheep. A crook
in a sapling is easily remedied:
what about the crook in the
monarch of the forest? Most
of us recognize our lack of skill,
tact and wisdom in doing prop
erly this great work, do not, how
ever, be discouraged, do your
level best, my reader, success
will come, for God has charge
of it.
Would l had space to expati-
ate on the results of feeding,
shepherding the lambs, the
sheep, but 1 must condense. De-
velopment comes to the feeder,
enlarged vision; spiritual lean
ness gives way to spiritual fat
ness; the little star of religious
JOY grows into a sun; penny,
nickel, dime giving widens out
into quarter dollars, half dol
lars, dollars, five dollars, etc.
Let the "stand aloofer" from the
Sunday school try it and see if
such will not be the glorious re-
suit.
Again, the fed are nutured and
trained. If it is pleasing and
profitable to work with God in
bringing seed through it's diff
ferent stages to matured fruit
age, a tiny colt to a $4,000
horse, how much more to help a
babe develop into a Spurgeon, a
Wesley, a Calvin, May Will
lard, a Mrs. Ann Johnson? Are
you parents of children, Sunday
school teachers? Then you may
be doing that very thing!
With sadness, we note that
only a part of the membership
engage in the Sunday school
cause. For the amount of work
done, money given it, greater re-
suits come from the Sunday
school than from any other de-
partment. The perpetuity and
growth of the churchs depend
upon the Sunday school. The
child Of today, is the church of
tomorrow; as is the Sunday
school, so will be the church.
Our Hardshell brethren have
neglected the children, and the
sad result is their churches are |
well nigh dead. Let the mis-
takes of others teach us to be
wise.
Ninety per cent of church
members come directly or indi-
rectly from the Sunday school
Can any church member, unless
providentially hindered, stand |
aloof from this great work with
clear skirts? Suppose Others
should do as they are doing what /
would become of our Sunday
schools and churches? Let non
school church members
ponder these momentous cues 4

REFORMING A MEAN MAN

sale grocery house about six years ago
l had to go to Paducah, Kentucky, every
month l made good with all the grocers
there except one named Jeff Larkins He
not only refused to listen to me, but forbade
his head clerk to have anything to do with
me. One day when he found me talking with
the clerk he ordered me out.
Il don't see why you should speak to ME
that way, Mr.. Larkins, l said. "The only
way | can figure it out is that YOU are like a
man l used to work for when | was about
eighteen years old. He was the mcanest
man | ever knew"
"What do you mean?" said he angrily
"Tust what | say. | was wondering if YOU
were any relation to that man..
He looked at me a moment and then said,
"Tell me about the meanest man
@All right, Mr.. Larkins,a | replied; but
you must not be offended
Then | told him that when was a young
fellow got a job working for the owner of a
stone quarry. Nv work was drilling holes
for the other men to put explosives into for
blasting the stone. One day | was drilling
away when the drill struck an old charge
that had not gone off. The result was that
| was blown into the air and did not come
down to earth for fifteen minutes; at least
| knew nothing about earthly things for that
length of time. i was not hurt much: only
a little stunned. l returned to work and
everything went well until payday. When
l drew my money it was short of the full
amount. | asked the boss about it. and he
said, Yes docked you for the fifteen min
utes YOU We're up in the air the other day"
Larkins had to smile in spite of himself
He gazed at me for minute, and then said,
you have your nerve with you, young man;
but don't believe | can trot in the same
class with your quarry boss. Come back to
my desk.
| went, not knowing just what he was
going to hand me. 1t proved to be one Of
the biggest orders that ever came to Chi
cago house from Kentucky. Mr.. Larkins
always treated me well after that day.

TIE Political Situation.

So far as the First Congressional
district is concerned, the political
sitnation is said by all of the candi-
dates to be very favorable. This
NAV be due to the natural OPIUM
ism of practically every man VINO
has political aspirations, or it may
really be due to information that
has been received from the various
sections. Friends of Senator Jesse
d. Price claim that he will have an
easy victory at the primariesJwhile
friends of Col. Albert w. Sisk
seem to be equally confident, and
state that as the campaign pro-
crosses their candidate will show
nm stronger; they state that Sena-
tor John Walter Smith has assured
them that he will be hands off in
the contest, and claim as proof OF
this fact that a number OF the
this fact that a number OF the
Smith people in the different coun-
ties have taken an open position
for Col. Sisk.
James T. Bright, of Queen Anne S
county. who is candidate for the
short term, claims to be receiving
many assurances of support for the
nomination.
Every Democratic voter should
participate in the primaries. and.in
addition to this, every voter should
inform himself as to the qualifica-
lions. previous records. moral char
acter and general standing of all
Of the candidates. No man should
blindly vote for a candidate simply
because someone else Is going to
do so. This Is an injustice to the
candidate and a violation of Demo
cratic principles. Let every tub
stand on its own bottom ;let every
candidate stand on his own record
let the voters carefully inquire in
to these records and then decide
how to vote.

WAR WILL Be An AID
TO FIRE PREVENTION.
Warning of Marshall Field a Co.
An Example.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 23.-Ffre in
surance men are endeavoring to
impress upon the public the import
ance of special care in the matter
of fire prevention at this partlcu-
lar time.
Normal losses have been heavy
aud if serious conflagralon
should come the existing flnanclai
and banking conditions would pro-
duce an unusual result. 1t would
be necessary for the companies 10
sell large amounts of securities TO
pay a loss of that magnitude, ana
with the stock exchanges closed
this would be impossible, no matter
what great sacrifices they might be
willing to make as to price IN or
der to meet their Obligations
promptly. A conflagration just at
this time, with its destruction OF
values and it's disturbance OF IL
nancial conditions would be serious.
That the situation is appreciated
by business men generally is shown
by the action of Marshall Field &
Co.. who have instructed the heads
of all departments and the manag-
ers of all factories, warehouses'ga-
RACES and other properties to be
exceptionally careful at this time
as regards fire hazard. The no
tice. issued by Arthur HawXhurst,
manager of the Insurance Depart
ment, is as follows:
"Owing to the terrible state OF
affairs in Europe, which affects the
entire United States, more or less,
| in every direction, this department
wishes now to call your particular
attention to the results of sustain
ing a loss by fire. AS the stock
exchanges are closed the insurance
companies would have no market
for their securities in case they
were called upon for a large
amount of money for losses that
might be sustained by an exten-
siye fire or conflagration. Natural
ly, they look for the help of every
| one to prevent such occurring.
ct is the duty of every assured,
be he a householder or an employee,
to take every wise precaution to
prevent fire and its dire results at
all times, particularly SO at the pres
emit time. Consequently, we call
upon every employee in every depart
ment in all parts of our business to
be more than watchfuI and careful
in this regard, aand every depart
| ment head will be expected to
make this a personal matter with
| those under him, see that this is
carried out. .9

| only means a money loss OF the
property, but a loss of plant,

General Wood appeared before the
committee on December goth and his
testimony was made public today. He
was questioned with regard TO the
situation in Hawaii and expressed
himself in this way
1.-The reasons for holding Honolulu
or the island of Oahu SO securely rest
primarily on the protection OF the
naval base and in a secondary way in
preventing the occupation of the
islands and it's possible use as basis
of operations against our western
coat and possibly the Panama canal
The navy, after a very careful
consideration OF the whole situation.
decided to establish at Pearl Harbor
naval base of very considerable i'm
portance. The task Of securely de-
Tending this naval base against any
raiding attack or attack In force,
which might result from operations
following temporarily the loss Of sea
control on the Pacific necessitated In
the case OF the army. system of
fortificatfons These Notifications tn
clude sea coast defenses and a very
strong line of land defense"
Strengthening the personnel Of the
defending force IN the Hawaiian
islands was advocated strongly by
General wood. The present force In
the islands consists Of 2ss commission
ed officers and 1859 enlisted men.
General Wood urged that this num-
her be more than doubled and pro-
poses a. a garrison for the island of
Oahu 5e5 officers and 1865 enlisted
men. an increase OF 22s officers and
s,49S men.
