good he can do. He is more anxious to be useful than rich.
 Common acceptance of the term makes all clergymen, doctors and law yers professional, but, more is the pity, some in their ranks forget that the mission of service is fundamental, the acquisition of wealth incidental. ust as there are these exceptions among those supposed to be of these professional classes, there are many in the humber walks considered to belong to the trades, who care more to excel in their lines than for any thing else. They have a pride in their work and will do as conscitious- ly whether their wages are high or low.
 We submit that the real distinction between profession and a trade is the spirit in which it is usually followed. Viewed in this light, your vocation is the one or the other. according to whether you engage in it for what you put in it, or what you get out of it. In other words, whether you work for the love of it, or for the money it brings.

Where tlle First Christian Church Was
 Founded.

Among the sacred cities of the East,
 Antioch holds a high place, for it
 was here that the first Christian
 church was founded; it was, moreov-
 CT, the center from which St. Paul
 conducted his missionary campaigns
 to convert the Gentiles. In those days
 Antioch was a prosperous and thriv-
 ing city, boasting of a population of half a million souls, while splen- did Roman palaces and villas dottM. the banks of the River Orontes, which flows through the town. Today it is sleep old-world place, occupying scarcely one-tenth of it's ancient area, and certainly possessing none of it's former glory. Nevertheless, it is in many ways a delightfully."- quaint and picturesque Eastern city, with marrow, tortuous streets, every other house in which apears to possess an architec- tural style of it's own. One can we'll spend three or four days wandering about this interesting old town, visit ing it's primitive market-place and in specting it's ruins, walls, gates and ancient monasteries.-From the Aug ust Wide World Magazine.

The Gospel According to
 ST. MATTHEW.
CHAPTER X.

And when he had called unto 1lm his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all man ner of sickness and all manner Of disease.
 2. NOW the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of ZebeGec, and John his brother;
 3. Philip and Bartholomew; Thom- as, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddeus;
 f. Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
 ,. These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
 6. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Isreal.
 z. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
 8. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give.
 9. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
 10. Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet slaves; for the workman is worthy of his meat. 7.
 Il. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
 12. And when ye come into an house, salute it.
 13. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace re- turn to you.
 IA. And whosoever shall not re- ceive you, nor near your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
 1o. Verify l say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of Judgment, than for that city.
 Is. Behold, I send you forth as sueep III the mlQSL or WOlVeS; be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
 IT. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their 
 IS. And ye shall be brought be- fore governors and kings for my sake, for testimony against them md the Gentiles.
 19. But when they deliver you ID, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be give you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
 20. For it is not ye that speak, but he Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
 21. And the brother shall deliver ID the brother to death, and the fa- her the child: and the children shall 'lse up against their parents, and ;ause them to be put to death.
 22. And ye shall be hated of all nen for my names sake: but he hat endureth to the end shall be ,aved.

PRESS OPINIONS
The Fee System. (Albuuueruue HeraJd)

It is a distinct shock to read in the
 newspapers of enlightened Texas that
 the old-time fee system for remuner-
 atlng and enriching county officers is still in force in that state, and likely to remain in force. Says the Houston Post:
 Tt is not exaggerating to call it the infamous fee system, and we en- tertain the hope that some day the people in choosing county officials will reach the point where they will overwhelm any man running for any office who remotely favors it, al- though it is the job of the legislature to stamp out every vestige of it, so far as it relates to the compensation of any man in the public service"
 "It is a rotten system, an outworn system, dishonest system and one that is an incubator of graft in it's most offensive form.
 "It has lived not so much because legislators have favored it as because the county officers who profit by it have an effective organization that can usually defeat every effort to re- form it."
 In New Mexico we have the fee system pretty we'll wiped out; or in fair way to be wiped out in all but a few branches of the government. It should be entirely eliminated, even to the system of feeding prisoners in our county jails; by which the sher- ifs get per diem for feeding each prisoner, and with it an inducement to keep the jails as full as possible. But although we have the fee system fairly we'll out of the way, we have still the organization to contend with which will work vigorously and pow erfully for high county salaries; sal- aries which the counties cannot afford to pay and which the services render ed in the several offices do not war rant. This organization will be hard at work when it comes to the selec- tion of legislative nominees. They will be at work in both parties and their work will bear careful watching.

The Dawn of Christianity As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT
 Translated from the Original Greek.

 24. The disciple is not above ms master, nor the servant above hle lord.
 25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, ana ths servant as his lord. If they nave called the master of the house Be- elzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
 27. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the house tops. 28 And fear not them which Kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in he'll

 30. But the very hairs of your head are numbered.
 31. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
 32. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
 33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny be- fore my Father which is i1 heaven.

BRAINS IN BASEBALL

People who never see a ball game always imagine the bleacher crowu as an assemblage of sports. They would expect to find there incessant cigarette smokers and fellows with "highwater pants,' older men who came to bet, with a sprinklins of flashily dressed women.
 The crowds at the ball parks of the bigger leagues include many of these types. Also there arc great numbers of clean cut, modestly dress ed business and professional men, whose presence is a credit to any gathering.
 There Is something in it that ap- peals to all interested by human achievement. It has it's own spec tacu.ar power. A hard batted ,all. a speeding runner, an agile stop, a swift, accurate throw, sure catch, these are beautiful forms Of human skill.
 Equally also. it is battle of or ganization and mastery of personal force. It is not enough to assemble a group of men who can bat throw, and catch ball with great speed, strength and accuracy.
 It is also prearraaging the mcve- ments of these men so that they fit into each other like the levers of a machine. It is a question of so win ming their loyalty that they will not play simply for salary and their own averages.
 A man who is quick witted enough to play baseball is apt also to be quick to take offence, imasinative, sensitive, morbid. The ba.ance be- tween competing players needs to be held with absolute fairness, based on competent judgment of thclr play The manager of a professional ball team has the problem of maintain ing a balance of justice between the personal interest of his players, SC that if any man gets grouch, i; shall be of his own creation. Ttea there is that indefinable power ol creating enthusiasm, which radiates from some men, while. o.aers leave their associates wholly ccld. When one sees a group of players having all these qualities of skill led with all this enthusiasm and systematic 0wrk and quick wit, he sees a product into which there has entere,. .,len. tiful supply of brains.

l Wilson's policy was not as vigorous
 as it might have been, although 1t Is to the credit of the American people that nobody said so when things
 looked squally. Everybody stood back
 of the president and applauded him,
 no matter what the individual might
 have thought. Even partisan polit-
 jeans of all parties laid aside parti''
 sanship and stood with the president of the United States, supporting him
 without reserve. Many differed with him privately, but all agreed with
 him when it came to question of
 action, no matter what they thought might have been done.
 It now appears that President Vii son was right all the time. The wisdom of his course has been amply viadicated. He has saved the nation- al honor and he has not plunged the nation into a war from which no possible profit could have been de- rived but which would have been attended by all the horrors of the holiest war that ever was fought.
 With a smaller man in the white house the outlook for peace in Mex leo would look almost as hopeless as ever, but the record of the last year and half shows that there is war rant for believing that peace has come to unhappy Mexico. The strong wise statesman's brain at Washing ton will find some way for internal peace, just as it found a way for | peace with foreign lands when peace looked to be impossible, when tine de facto head Of the Mexican govern ment was doing everything it could do to bring about foreign war.
 The country has new faith in Woodrow Wilson because of the i Mexican incident. It has faith that, all of his great policies-or rather all of the great policies of his party that he has carried out, having pr,s- ed right the last and perhaps the greatest of them all, which is now being worked out-the antitrust pro- gram-will be the success he de- clares it will be. The country has deep faith in Woodrow Wilson and trusts him as it has seldom if ever before trusted a man. ,k Q>V.

What Is a Profession?
 GpOuorl

It is contrary to human instinct to be idle. Some naturally prefer the good and live to be useful; others ev- lilly inclined, is useful at all, are so by compulsion-in order to live. Be tween these extremes are the careless or discouraged, who work only to get the means of a living.
 We would not be misunderstood as meaning that, to be professional man, one must work for nothin, New ertheless, the truly professional man who deserves the dignity of that clas- sification makes his chief concern the
