FRIENDSHIPS.

three friendships which are injuri-

friendship with the sincere and
friendship with the man Of obser-

Friendship with the man Of spe-

HEED CALL TO REST
Vacation From the Arduous Duty
of the Pulpit Is an Imper-
alive Need.
To be continued

Upon the advent of the clergymen's
vacation season it is timely to call
to their attention the disuse into
which nature themes for pulpit en-
ployment have fallen during the past
few years. A decade ago the minister
that hunger and thirst after the sweet
and quiet meditations of nature places
that has always been the source of
truest idealizing in pulpit deliver
ances. Today the field of social reform
and the kinds, of service that find ex.
preston in organized form and by in
sistent appeals, have quite supplanted
the green pastures and the still wa
tiers. The Sons Of Boanerges have
taken the place of the shepherd singer
Of Israel. The interpreter of the lilies,
the divine advocate of beauty in ma
ture forms has been set aside by the
wielder of the whip of small cords.
The woman sweeping her house for
the piece of silver has usurped the
place in the pulpit of seeker after the
lost sheep. Matching metal against
metal, the pulpit sounds at times like
boiler factory by reason Of the tap
ping of the hammers of denunciation
upon the bessemeriZed materialism Of
the day. One feels like taking up the
longing Of the psalmist for lodge in
some vast wilderness. When will the
men who regard themselves as having
mission to manifest their superficial
ingenuity in dealing with the passing
fashions of the times give place to the
men of lesser public mold but of
vaster sympathies and basic intelli-
gence, who would lead the wearied
hosts of the daily battle for bread out
into the mount of refreshment where
the Master is declaring that men shall
not live by bread. alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out Of the mouth
of God. When will they turn again
to the construction of the Scriptures
and extol such provision as that which
points to the young lions lacking and
suffering hunger in contrast with the
provident care Of God, which gives as
surance that they that trust him shall
not lack any good thing When will
they lead their flocks in the shepherd
ed ways of meditation upon the things
of nature, pointing to the cattle upon
the thousand hills to declare unto the
poor in this worlds goods that these
are all possessions of their heavenly
/ father?

Majestic Nature.

How wonderfully placid is nature!
How marvelously serene its represen-
tations, how beneficent it's changing
moods; what contrast and light and
uplift come from meditation upon
this age-old book that has been the
source of all true devotion; of all wor-
thy idealization, of all responses to the
true things of melody, Of all creative
faculty for art depletion, of all the true
science of gracious and good living.
Nature echoes the voice of it's Maker,
who says he will keep in perfect peace
all whose minds are stayed upon him.
Where will the ministers go upon
their vacations? Some will go where
the newer laws of social regeneration
are being declared in assemblies for
study and for instruction. Others will
+ go where the masses of men TEEN in
the thronged places of recreation re-
sort, in order to see how their fellows
| deport themselves and to observe the
lions; yet others will go to work amid
the slums of congested cities; others
again will enter the Libraries and pur-
sue some favorite line of study, from
which they hope to produce yet an
other of the panacea books of the writ
ing Of which there is no end and the
reading of which brings WEAKNESS to
the flesh.
Getting Back to Real Things.
Happy the true scholar, the real
idealist, the wide-visioned pastor, the
man who looks beyond the murk of
the day and who sees the clear shin.
ing of God in the smiling beauty of an
orchid. Blessed that clergyman who
learns new litanies from the brook and
new offices from the interlaced and
waving branches Of the trees; thrice
blessed is that leader of a we'll
instructed congregation who claims
nature unsullied as his companion and
who seeks in vacation absorption, gar.
nished with a few suitable books. and
perhaps a rod and line, the communion
with nature that alone can bring clari,
tication of view, enrichment of nature
and serenity in all times of pressure
from the little things of living. Let
the clergymen get back to nature and
let them bring nature back into the
pulpit.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
settlement Of
GERMAN TROUBLE
Formal Negotiations on Which Are
Expected to Pave Way For
Understanding
WOULD PROTECT PASSENGERS
Status of Travellers on Ships Carry
ing Contraband Will Be
Most Difficult Point

Washington, d. c., July 8. - The
outlook for favorable settlement OF
the issue between the United States
and Germany over submarine warfare
was to-day regarded as having ad-
vanced considerably by the beginning
of formal negotiations, which, 1t was
believed, will pave the way for an un-
derstanding prior to the final drafting
of the German reply.
1t had not been known until within
the last day or two that preliminary
exchange of views was in progress be-
tween the two countries regarding the
nature of the forthcoming German
reply to the last American note.
In official quarters It was believed
that report likely would be received
here late to-day from Ambassador
Gerard regarding conferences reported
in Berlin dispatches as having taken
place last Saturday between the Am
bassador and officials of the German
Foreign Office. The dispatches said
that the Ambassador had been given
an outline of the German reply.
While nothing has been made public
concerning Ambassador Gerards last
dispatches, ii was understood. that he
had constantly informed the merican
government of the gossip in Berlin
official quarters regarding the reply.
1t was said that although he had been
unable to learn definitely what the
note would be, he expects Germany to
make a counter proposal. which is
now being discussed He has init
mated that the reply would be delayed
possibly week.
The fact that negotiations had begun
was viewed in many quarters as a
favorable sign as furnishing a base on
which to work. The object of the
German government is to ascertain
exactly what notifications of the SUBJ
mare warfare will satisfy the Amer
lean demand for the protection of its
right without reducing the effective
ness of the submarine as q weapon

low Nerbeke street at $104, 1872 while
the property lying above VerbeKe

edge of the market values of prop
erty in the neighborhood which it is
proposed to remove.
Mr.. Moeslein values all the prop
critics below Verbeke street on the
west side of Front street at $50 per
foot front with the exception of the
alley plots. These, he allowed. an ad-
ditional value of IS per foot The
Caroline and Elizabeth Hester prop
erty at Herr and Front streets Mr..
Moeslein estimated at 500 per foot
front, basing this claim on the fact
that the property had a park frontage
to the south.

Harry j. Berrier properties, the two
big boating enterprises, Mr.. Moeslein
allowed $50 per foot front For his
dwellings, grounds and lighthouses the
former building inspector allowed Din
taman total of $13,510. Eighty dol
lars per foot front was the value Mr..
Moeslein also placed on the Berrier
property and the total value of ground,
buildings. including lighthouses, he
figured to be worth $9,110.
