TTHE TEST or RBvTvAIs.

Rev. Billy Sunday is drawing tens Of thousands to his revival ta-bernac1e in PhiIadelphia. There is no vau- deviI1e monolosisH who .uses such an assortment of slang He appears to believe that a person who will not as- ssente to his own personal creed is headed straight for the pit And yet he does seem to have some power to reform character.
 Brother Sunday, as a believer in the literal Bible, must have reflected up- on that passage where the Lord said unto Moses. Draw not nigh hithers put off thy shoes from off this feet; for the place where thou standest is holy ground" In modern terms. that signifies that the namesof deity is not to be hippantly used, and that places of worship are to be entered with reverence. Billy Sunday, with his comedy stunts, is certainly no Moses of the Exodus. who approached the presence of God in the Burning Bush with fear and awe.
 Some offences against good taste can be overlooked if character is re- newed.
 sBut the real test of a revivalist's s work is not the line of men who Init the sawdust traiI.'' The country is full of revivalists who possess a. cer- tain rnagnetisrn.s before which all the vanish.
 The rest test comes when the preacher is gone, the crowd scattered, and man is up against the old temptation to take the easiest way. The obscure pastor of the home church, the unknown worker in a Sunday. school or fraternity, is per haps more often the real agent in a mans amendment. It Is conpara- lively easy to get men to confess their sins amid the contagion. of friendly crowd. Quite another for some weak wf1led fellow to walk the straight and marrow path with the 'fboyss' joshing

 HUEISEN N-HAESELER.

Although he is too old to- be en- trusted with a. command, Count Got Heb von Huelsen- -Haeseler, field marshal Of the German army, retir- the German forces into France, and has been a valued counsellor to the youngsters. The count. once the greatest man in the German army, is nearing eighty. He entered the army as a. boy and had his first taste of when he took part in the Prussian campaign against Denmark. In 1866 he fought in the war against Austria, and in 1870 he fought gall 1antIy against France. He was seri- ousIy wounded in that conflict, and when he asked the Kaiser's pernis- sion to accompany the army in this war he pleaded that he had lost a rib in Francef in 1870 and wanted to go and look for 1t The aged field marshal is alleged to have made a French soldier a prisoner with his own hands. On another occasion, it is related, he personally led the troops in the< pursuit of a detach- ment of French troops The count is said to have remained in the sad de for from twelve to fifteen hours at a time He accounts for his vigor at such an extreme. age by his abstemious habits in the matter of food and drink. He is one of very flew Germans who do not drink beer, and he takes no alcohol whatever He uses only a. little meat, and Sub sists.. principally on eggs and milk. A Berlin magazine publishes an ac- count of the counts daily life at he front written by his orderly. The soldier declares that his chiee re- peated1y exposed himself to rifle
 machine gun and cannon fire, and escaped unscathed. The old field marshal thus gained reputation among some of the superstittous German troops of being miraculous ly and supernaturaI1y bullet proof.

Mas Ruskin Conceited2

In one Of Ruskins lectures, though
cannot quote it exactly, he says in
effect this. and it is said with great
earnestness: Because | have done
harm to no one and good to all, be-
cause / have loved truth and hated
falsehood. because / have regarded the
happiness of others more than my own,
you can trust what l say to you. and
you will be glad in later years that you
have trusted me-
l have heard it quoted as an example
of Ruskin's great conceit, but to me it
has never seemed to be that. 1t has
seemed to me, rather, just and not a
vain measuring of his powers.-Anne

SECRET OF STEADY GOLF.
It Lies In Proper Use of the Club and
Nerve Control.


Nerve Control.
There is no such thing for any man
as eternal steadiness, but there is no
reason why most golfers shouldn't de-
veIop a much greater steadiness than
is shown. 1t is all matter of prac-
ticing two things-the proper use of
the club and concentration, or nerve
control.
Remember at each practice or dur
ing each friendly round to try to make
your brain work as we'll as your arms
and legs. Remember. above all other
factors, that it is vital to the success of
the shot that you keep your head still.
often referred to as looking at the
ball." Make it point to school your
brain as we'll as your muscles, for the
brain is in control of the muscles. The
golfer who can't concentrate. who
doesn't practice concentration. will
never be able to develop steadiness, al
though he may be a fine shot maker
and may be capable of some wonder
full rounds.
So. to put a few suggestions into
compact, concrete form, the following
are offered to those who desire change

Second.-Make up your mind to ac-

Third.-Play each shot as it comes,
without regret over past mistakes or
worry over future troubles.
Fourth-Practice the short game.
