rHE woRLns CHARITY.

The most beautiful thing that has
come out OF the war in Europe is the
charity which its destruction and sui
ferings have prompted in the minds
OF the peoples OF the earth Almost
al the beginning of the conflict three
peoples. the Serbs, the Belgians and
the Poles, we're brought to the doors
OF poverty, begging for bread and for
relief from disease.
The attention of the world was
first called 10 Belgium because the
fall OF that country was so sensation

help just as badly bur Belgium was

was sent there. The relief has con
timed ever since the war began.
Some idea OF the vast work accom-
pllshed there BIZ the Belgian Relief

prove much more permanent. The
railroads have been economizing
severely for years. Already they
are entering the market with larger
orders for steel rails, equipment and
other materials. The steel indus

are advancing and the rise in the

class has also been amply justified
by recently improved conditions. A

who preached a very able and impress,
sive sermon for the occasion from
the, word recorded in Rev. 2:10. BE
thou faithful unto death and | will

the words "be ye faithful unto death"
the crown of life would be your reward
for the life, you lived while on this

tations and trials at the least. The
after life is one Of peace and happiness
surrounded by those that have gone
before.

l-angford. the local heavyweight, last
night. This pair of tarbabies have met
often. and usually Sam has had the bet
ter of the argument. even in the no.
decision encounters. but Jeanette had
a wide margin over his opponent at the
a tlas A. A. last night in a twelve round
go.
tangford forced the fighting in the
early rounds and had considerably the
best of it during the first four, but his
opponent outscored him during the re-
manning sessions. Left hooks to the Jaw
and short rights to Jeannette's head
gave Sam nice lead, the New Yorker
starting in the fifth round Joe went
after his opponent; He jabbed and
chncned with regularity, occasionally
crossing the right to the jaw, Langford
countering with lefts to the body. Sew
eral times Jeanette staggered Sam with
hard clouts on the jaw and his aim was
so good that he closed Sans left eye.
