WORLDS BIBLE CONGRESS.

Significant among the great relig-
ious demonstrations that were held
in connection with the Panama-Pa-
citic Exposition during the summer
just passed was the Worlds Bible
Congress.
1t is said that the greatest rally of
the Congress took place in "the Court
of the Universe" the center of the
Exposition. "and a fit place for ex-
alting the Bible as the center of hui
man life and progress"
One very pleasing feature of the
Congress, especially from u mission
airy and international point of view,
was the public ceremony of handling
over to the Japanese Christians ant
their friends a copy of the Bible in
English, prepared by the American
Bible Society, to be presented to the
Emperor of Japan on the occasion of
ms approaching coronation. 1t is
stated that the Mikado has consented
10 receive II. and it is understood that
the japanese Christians plan to pre-
sent their ruler with a copy of the
Bible printed in Jpanesc also Mt the
same time. The presence and SER
wees of Billy Sunday, it is said, add
eu much to the interest of the Con-
gress. Following the formal presen-
tation of bronze PLAGUE by the
Exposition authorities, DR.. Sunday is
SAID to have preached to fifteen to
twenty thousand people, maintaining
the Truth and Power of the Bible
as one rarely hears it done"

THE LIFE EXPRESS

# an interesting journey
On should care sometime to take,
a journey that would he worth while
And one you'd care to make
Just board the rapid Life Express:
Get on at babyhood.
and travel over hill and dale,
And through Achievement wood.
The road through childhood swiftly
runs;
The station next is Youth;
Beyond that step is middle age,
Deep in the Vale OF Truth;
Old Age is reached on schedule time,
1t takes away ones breath
To speed so swiftly towards the end
The terminus is Death.
The track grows rougncr toward the
end;
IT'S then that you gaze back
And count the milestones gray that
mark
The fast receding track.
At last the grim conductor calls
No need for calling twice:
Far as we go. Step lively. please:

SOME NEWSPAPER DoNTs.

Don't take your paper home. 1t is
the most active and powerful factor
in building up your town, and to sup
port it would involve you in the work.
Don't pay for it if you take it.
Newspapers are run on wind, and the
editor wouldn't keep the money any
way. He'd most likely pay it on
bills.
Don't fail to tell the editor how to
run the paper. He has nothing to do
but listen and keep his temper sweet.
Don't put your name to what you
want published. It's the EDITORS bus
mess to espouse unpopular causes and
take your chestnuts out of the fire
What hurst your business might also
hurt his-but that's different.
Don't notify the editor when you
change your postoffice address. He
may lose track of you and you will
escape paying the last two or three
years of your subscription.
