Religious Revivals in Washington.

Is there need in Washington for a Billy Sun
day compaign?
The answer is given by Sunday himself at
would be easy to get Washington for Cod" he
said just before leaving the city after his address
at Convention Hall The evangelist is quite right
ii would be easy. Winning community for God
is as near accomplishment in Washington as in
any other city of its population in the country
The great majority of the people here arc earnest
Christians, who support their churches and the
work of those churches and lead clean and whole
some lives. The charge cannot be made against
the Washington churches that they are cold and
repcent that their pastors are mere function
aries. The opposite is the truth. In the churches
throughout this city the stranger rich or poor, is
given cordial welcome. Churches and pastors are
engaged in good works every day in the year. The
needy and the afflicted arc sought out and given
aid and comfort. Washington's charity is bound
less and unostentatious.
But Washington assumes no "holier than thou"
attitude. There sinners here as everywhere
and one is good that he might not be better
There many whom it would nc easy to get
for Cod" Few of them live in the slums, because
we have few slums, and few of them belong to the
vicious class because that class is extremely
limited.
If an organized religious revival is considered
day efforts of the churches, by all means let us
have it. But cannot Washington do the work with
out going outside for help? 1t is quite reasonable
to that greater and more lasting good
could be accomplished by exerting our own home
influences. Suppose we give to own earnest
workers for Christianity the in charge of our
churches, the same encouragement and support
and the opportunities we are willing to pro-
vide for Billy Sunday week of revival services in
Convention Hail. with the music and the great
chorus and the distinguished men and women in
the audience, with the addresses by our own
clergymen, venture to say would not fail to
accomplish more than Billy Sunday could in the
same period. The number of people here to whom
Sundays methods and vocabulary would appeal is
entirely too small to justify one of his famous
campaigns. And when he moderates both to ap-
peal to an intelligent audience as he did on Mon
day, his power wanes and he ceases 10 dominate.
The Herald again ventures the opinion that Wash
ington is not Sundays field. 1t we need a re-
ligious awakening, let sound the trumpet our
selves

Not a One-term Mind.

The President may or may not have designed
to announce in indianapolis that "Barkis is
wiln'," but it was hardly necessary; Presidential
nominations not often declined, and, while Mr..
Wilson has explained to the country that he has
an essentially one-track mind, he has never said
anything to indicate that he has one-term mind
Mr.. Wilson's administration will inevitably be the
Democratic platform in 1916 and the logical thing
of course, for him to stand it. Ii is the usual
thing for both parties to give their Presidents
denomination; the attempt to deny this to Mr.. Taft
put the Republican party where the Democratic
party does not intend to be for good many years

GETTING A START.
EXPERTS AND SPECIALISTS.
By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JR.
Copyright, 1915.

OCATIONS are divided into four
" great divisions; mechanics. in
the practice of which one works
| by his hands; business. covering cler-
ical workers. buyers, and sellers: the
professions. including law. medicine.
teaching. preaching. etc. and special
| lists or experts. 1t is of the last named
that 1 will speak.
The so-called specialist is one who is
expert in some line, whether in me-
chanics, in a department of science. or
in the manipulation OF certain parts Of
business-doing.
The majority of specialists are. how
ever. expert in a department of manu-
facture, like expert engineers, expert
electricians, etc.
The large incomes received by this
class of workers have been particularly
attractive. and thousands of young men
train themselves in this direction and
enter technical schools with this end in
view.
would not discourage ambition. I
would not advise a young man to set
too slow a pace or to place his goal
only a short distance ahead. but 1
would caution him against being too
optimistic and warn him not to fall
under the spell of too great an ambi-
tion.
Comparatively few men ever attain
expertness in anything. Because they
are ordinary they remain ordinary. BY
study, experiences and perseverance.
they are able to obtain good incomes.
but few OF them ever reach the top of
the mountain OF fame.
To succeed more than nominaily as a
specialist or expert one must have nat
ural aptitude for his calling. He must
have a talent which is born in him. to
be developed by long and strenuous
study. Then, even IL he becomes an ex-
pert, II may be difficult for him to at
tain a position commensurate with his
ability. for the demand is limited.
The technical schools are turning out
proficient workers at almost incubator
speed. They are flooding the market.
Their graduates are reasonably sure or
positions; but. as there are so many
good men in this department or work.
II is obvious that competition and
over-supply must interfere with the
rapid progress OF any except those who
possess unusual ability.
In the old days. when few enjoyed a
liberal education. the highly school
trained man was marked for promotion:
and. because he had few competitors.
he was pretty sure OF obtaining a COM
manding position. Today there are
thousands OF good men on the market.
many of them able to assume RESPONSE
biIity. Because OF competition. because
OF so great a supply of experts, even
the well-trained man OF more than ordi-
nary capacity may find 1t difficult to
attain the height Of his ambition.
Nothing which have said in this ar
ticle should be construed by the reader
as direct discouragement The ambi-
tious man, even II be has only ordinary

IMPORTANT STEP In LIFE.
By oRIsoN SWEET harden.

The difference between success and fail.
ure often turns on finding or not finding
ones place in life.
What the world thinks you ought to dc
has nothing whatever TO do with the call
which the Creator has indicated in your
sage to yourself. 1t is a secret to all
but you and your God. Your dearest
friend cannot share It. It is dearer to
you than your breath, and your help to
civilization depends on your faithfulness
to this call.
1t is true that a. strong character with
great determination and a high sense
OF duty may wiring out OF a position to
which he is ill-adapted that which will
pass for success, but there will be no
immortality in it. There will be some
thing wanting in IL. 1t will lack heart,
enthusiasm, buoyancy, spontaneity; every
essential element OF Immortality.
Everywhere we see men OF superb Sabil-
ity who have failed in life to do the big
ger things possible to them because they
never found their place, never happened
to get into their niche, they were misfitsI
and misfits never are very effective.
The greatest danger. particularly to
the American youth, Is that he is tempted
to choose a vocation because of the
money that is likely TO be made in 1t. In
other words, the material prizes are so
tempting in this land of opportunity that
our youth are likely to consider the wages
aCcruing from their work and nothing
else.
The making of a true man or the max
ing of true woman is the first great OBJ
jeCt of n vocation.
To choose a vocation just because we
think we can make money in II without
regard to the influence IL will have on
our personality or our character is de-
moraliZing. Our work should be our
great character builder. should be a per-
petual unfolder, 2 constant broadener of
our nature, of our ideals and our life.
No one. who possibly can avoid II, has
right to choose a vocation which will
not, because OF its cleanness, its dignity
and because II fits his ability, be a perpet-
ual stimulus and spur to his ambition.
The very consciousness of doing that
which gives a sense of decentralization,
which does not get the consent of our
higher self, is deadening, discouraging
and deteriorating.
No one can be as happy as he might be
ullitSS HIS StI-GApIeSSlOu Is COHlplclV
If that is stihed, if he is putting out but
a part of his possibilities, if he is pro-
ducing the lowest when the highest in
him is ClamorinG for expression, then he
cannot feel that sense Of appreciation and
approval which means growth and en-
largement.
On the other hand, there is no better
tonic than the knowledge that We have
a good vocation. that we are doing a use
full work. that it just fits our nature. that
II Is uplifting because 1t appeals to the
best instead Of the worst in US, that we
constantly are improving instead of de-
teriOrating, getting into a rut.
There is no stimulus equal to the con-
sciOusness that We are getting up as we'll
as on, that We are expressing the best
and nOblest within US, instead of the
meanest and lowest

Representative Lewis, of Maryland,
TestIfies in New York.

New York, Jan. 19.-''New York City

to that of London, Paris, Berlin and

tative David J. Lewis. OF Maryland,
today in an appeal for government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines before the United States Indus
trial Commission. AS chairman of the
Labor Committee of the House, Mr..
Lewis has made a two-year study OF
the telephone and telegraph monopoly.
"One of the most potent sources OF
bribery the country over" declared
Mr.. Lewis, lis the traffic in franchises
for telegraph and telephone companies.

1t should be source of qualification to the
people of this city that the Senate has seen fit to
confirm Mr.. Frederick L. Siddons as an associate
justice in the District Supreme Court. A citizen of
unassaiable integrity Mr.. Siddons is by training and
experience well equipped for the high position for
which he was chosen by the President, and besides
he is Washington man familiar with our laws and
institutions, and in sympathy with customs and
traditions. He may be confidently depended upon
to administer justice without fear or prejudice.
In Mr.. Louis Brownlow, who will no doubt be
promptly confirmed Mr.. Siddons' successor,
Washington will be given competent Commits
sioner whose administration will be business like
and progressive.

Some of the girls looked ill-nourished. In their
clothes it pathetic to the cheap little finer
les, the tawdry limitations, designed to hide their
poverty and to set themselves off. The faces OF
several of the older women had tired, spiritless
look. A few of the men showed alertness in their
eyes, but the others were plainly out of harmony
with life haf-resgned, half-resentfu. Only few
were reading newspapers.
These people" thought, "are the sustainers
of the world, the workers who perform the abso-
lutely necessary tasks. They put in the longest
hours and they receive the least pay"
Most of them were sleepy-looking that l
wondered why they didn't go to bed at reason
able hour. Then l recalled remark a worker
made in my presence to a question in regard
to this very matter: "If went to bed earlier life
would be all work The only leisure time l have
is in the evening"
