Japan's recent move. The urgency of
taking these protective measures

world in its present unprecedented

so suave and indirect that its full

WHY THE PANAMA FAIR

The financial success Of the rama

commonly been great producers OF a
deficit. Why did California make
such record breaking success on the
money side?
or course the European war turned
n large tide of travel to the west. but
it's a long way to the Pacific coast
from the great American centers OF
population. The business from the
populous Atlantic states must have
been far less than the great fairs
In the Central states secured.
Every fair depends primarily or Its
home support, on the attendance OF
great crowds Of people from within
a radius Of 500 miles, A great mass
Of these nearby people must attend
and each pay a good many admissions

are being much discussed following
the confession of Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills of Brooklyn, N. Y
regarding his financial misfortunes.
For most ministers this question
never rises. The average clergyman
receives scarcely the pay of a skill
| ed mechanic. He is compelled to live
in an elect residential district. He
must have a home suited TO entertain
the Ladies Aid Society. Formal black
clothes must be possessed and mis-
wife must look like lady.
Perhaps imprudently, he has raised
family. He may rashly think of
educating them. After all such bills
are paid, the field of business venture
looks as distant as Mars. How long
since you have seen minister read
Ing the stock market reports?
In towns of some wealth, however,
there is minority Of ministers VINO
are somewhat more fortunate In a
money way. They may accumulate
some small savings. What can and
should they do with them?
The world never casts out the bus
mess man for taking fiier. Usual

This at least can be said: II takes
long pull at the speculative game
to know its tricks and its manners.
All clergymen and teachers should
recognize the limitations Of the WOOL

The world expects clergyman to
stand for spiritual feeling. A man
must stand little apart to see thru.
the mists of life. The struggle for
dollars is too absorbing. 1t grips the
mind, and obscures the deeper in.
sights. 1t may not be wrong, but
it does not help a clergyman to see
the farther horizons. Without that
gift. his work misses its full mission.
