THE CAUSE

An eastern paper gives the fol-
lowing in answer to a letter from a
reader who asks that cause of the
war be explained in few words.
The paper divided its answer into
eight divisions as follows:
One
The finder box. For years
Europe has been ready to take fire
at a spark. Russia is an agrees
sive and growing nation, eager to
extend to the Mediterranean. Aus
tria feared Russia because Russia S
advance would have choked off
Austria's future career. France
has been filled with hatred and
vengeance against Germany. Ger
many, wedged between them was
in mortal danger every hour.
England feared Germany because
Germany was encroaching on her
trade, and threatened the British
empire.
Two
The spark. Any spark would
have been sufficient. In fact the
flames would have started from
spontaneous combustion in a short
time. But the assassination of the
Austrian grand duke and duchess
made convenient pretext for at
lacking Servia. Austria did not
want to annex Servia. Austria
wanted to make her so abjectly
helpless that she would be worth
nothing as an allie to Russia-to
reduce her to the position of Cuba.
Three
Why did Russia join? Russia
thought the time was opportune
to make another move toward the
Mediterranean. Russia expected
to aid, encourage and strengthen
the Balkan states as Russian out
post. possibly to extend a protect
crate over them. 1t was a de-

OF the metals and metallic ores
the United States has been both an
importer and an exporter. Our
imports of iron ore are double our
exports, whereas of metallic copper
we export nearly twice as much as
we import. The general rule,
however, probably is that the i'm
ports of manufactured or partly
manufactured metals largely exceed
in value the ores and crude metals
brought into this country for
domestic manufacture, and in our
exports a somewhat similar ratio
exists between crude material and
manufactures, so that there is pre-
scented a double opportunity for in
creasing the scope and extent of
our metal industries for both
domestic consumption and export.
Far too much American metal
crosses the Atlantic in the crude or
semicrude state only to come back
to us in various manufactured
forms. Bulletin 500, U. S. Geolo-
gical Survey.

house. Editors generally pursue
this policy and thereby live longer
and get more enjoyment out of
life.

Shameful lying seems to be a
necessity in all fake medical treat
ment,'' says DR.. H. w. Hill, exec
utive secretary of the Minnesota
Public Health association. For
instance. backaches are common.
They are, therefore. advertised as
invariably indicating kidney
troubles. Most people with back
aches believe this, and, so, call for
kidney treatment. The fact is,
kidney trouble almost never pro-
duces pain in the back. Backaches
are caused by almost ANYTHING ex-
cept the kidneys. Of all the differ
ent things that go to make up our
bodies, almost the last and the
least to ache is the kidney. Kid
ney trouble sometimes produces

best measured by comparing our
own mineral production with that
of other countries, no one of which
can compete with us in abundance
or variety of mineral resources.
The United States mines nearly 40
per cent of the worlds output of
coal and produced IS per cent of
the petroleum in 1913. Of the
more essential metals, 40 per cent
of the worlds output of iron ore is
raised from American mines, and
the smelters of the United States
furnish the world with SIS per cent
of its copper and at least 80 per
of its lead and zinc. These are
the raw materials on which has
been founded a great metallurgical
industry, but on which can be built
much more extensive chemical and
Woodworking industries.

4. Humility Is Approved by God.
Read Christs sermon on the mount
and you will see how all the beati-
tudes hinge upon, or are related to
the grace of humility. Jesus said,
Blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom Of God" He al
so said Blessed are the meek for
they shall inherit the earth" This
grace is at the root of Christian char
acter and comfort. and is the chief
spiritual quality which produces re-
suits in Christian work, and it also
brings down upon us the grace and
favor of the Heavenly Father. God
gives the graces of love. joy, and cNur-
age to the humble. He gives spiritual
power to those only, who depend who'll
" upon him and who take no stock in,
or place no dependence upon, their
own strength, or worldly wisdom. God
fellOwships with the humble and
spurns the proud. Those of a meek
and a quiet spirit, trusting fully in
God. devoting themselves to Christian
work are the con paniOns of the saints
of the earth, and the friends of Je-
hovah.

ETFECTUAL SERVICE.

I. Humility Is Essential for Effec-
tuaI Service. We are told here to
grid ourselves with humility. in
order to be fitted TO serve. Humil-
ity is one OF the most important Chris
tian graces; il is the contrary spirit
Of being proud, bOastful, or vainglO-
riOus either inwardly or outWardly
There is no difficulty in true Chris
tian having the sweet spirit of humil-
ity when he remembers his littleness
and Gods infinite greatness. When
we think that God is almighty and
that we are mere speCks of power
compared TO him, that We are behold
en- absolutely 20 him, there is but little
room Tor anything resembling
naughty spirit. When the mothers. or
guardians, brought their children to
Jesus for him TO bless them. the dis
ciples forbade them. thinking that
they and their master were too i'm
portant To DE bothered with merely
little children; but Jesus rebuked the
disciples, for the spirit of ignorance
and pride which they displayed and
said Suffer the children TO come
unto me, and forbid them not" When
we grid ourselves with the beautiful
grace commended In the text we shall
not be too proud TO minister to little
children, or any other class.

souls or some kindred work. In fact
the obligation 10 be engaged in work
IS only equalled by the joy of such

mony with God. The dissemination TO
