PAY YOUR HONEST DEBTS.

The good women of our town
who have charge of the cause of
our unfortunate brother and Sis
ter are now in need of any AMI
every thing 10 help these needy
ones out.
| ask you in the name of thu
unfortunate ones first, because it
is debt We owe them. Our
Lord said "The poor you have
with you always" and from his
teachings and practice, he meant
for them TO be looked after.
There is only one other class he
treated with more tenderness,
possibly, than did he the poor;
that class was the infants or lit
tie weak ones. There is "A great
part of poor humanity that be-
longs 10 the infant class and they
have just claim upon you and me
as the helpless of our own home.
There is such an interlacing o.
humanity that one part cannot
get along without the other. HUI
manity would soon grow cold and
heartless We're it not for the OBJ
jects of pity. Who knows but
this part OF the race is keeping
the big part of mmani.y's heart
alive today.
Then | ask yon in your own be
half, TO do something along this
line. 1t will make you more ten
der and develop the milk of hu-
mar kindness in your own heart
end life.
And lastly, / call in behalf of
our good women who have tins
work in charge. 1t is so noble IN
them 10 take up this work, and
that without remuneration, that
We ought to feel proud of them
and rally 10 their help. Thank
GOd Tor the good DOrceaS oil
the world-good mothers, wives
and daughters.
Now listen, give any thing yOn
think one can use. Clothes, pro
visions, money, etc. Let our
friends and neighbors from the
country help in this great work
There is fruit and many other
valuable things, going to waste
in your garden and orchard and
farm that could be used here.
Come one come all and let us
help these good women that are
enlisted in this good work.

 The history of San Francisco is a marvellous story of courage and faith. The fire was regarded merely as an incident in the life of the city. to be overcome, as all obstacles must be overcome. A few years after the de- struction of the city the new San Francisco, progressive and in earnest, invites the world to see what mara cles have been accomplished. And they are miracles, well worth seeing. San Francisco is proud of the exposition and has full right to be proud.

FORCE AND IDEAS

Who cares to paint a picture now, poetry. or to search the meaning of language. or speculate about the constitution of matter? It seems like fiddling when Rome burns. Or to edit magaZine-to cover paper with ink, to care about hopes that have gone stale, to launch phrases that are lost in the uproar? What IS the good now of thinking? What IS critic compared to a battalion of infantry? This. men say. is a time for action. any kind of action. So, without a murmur, the labora- | tories of Europe are communicated as hospitals, a thousand half finished experiments abandoned. There was more for the future of the world in
 those experiments than we dare to calculate. They are tossed aside. The best scholarship has turned press agent to the general staff The hope
 of labor is absorbed, the great plans
 built on the surplus of wealth are
 dropped for the armies have to be financed. Merely to exist has be- come a problem, to live finely seems to many a derelict hope
 ] Yet the fact remains that the final
 argument against cannon is ideas. l The thoughts of men, which seem so

 and chemistry that made possible the
 dreadnought. Men organized this superb destruction; they created this fierce. thought it, dreamed it. planned
 it. It has got beyond their control. | It has got into the service of hidden
 forces they do not understand. Men

 own will to end it. and making a ci-

 control that no machine can turn
 traitor to it. For while it takes as ' much skill to make a sword as a
 plowshare, it takes a critical under a standing of human values to prefer the plowshare.-New Republic.

 The opening sermon of Bishop Edwin D.

Powerful Prayer Found on Prisoner Guaranteed Him Against Be-

In a skeptical and materialistic age like the present it may be somewhat surprising to find reliance being placed on charms. Yet An Eye wit ness,' in his semi official report to the British War Office, tells that not a few of the German prisoners are in possession of so-called pray CTS, which are really written charms against death, wounds, disease and every imaginable evil. One such document recently found on a pris- oner begins thus:
 "A powerful prayer whereby one is protected and guarded against shot and sword, against visible and invisible foes, as well as against all manner of evil May God preserve me against all manner of arms and weapons, shot and cannon, long or short swords, knives and daggers. or carbines, halberds and anything that cuts or points; against thrusts, rap iers. long and short rifles or guns and such like which have been forged
