DR.. Charles F. AIKEN, OF the First
Congregational church, and formerly
John D, Rockefeller's pastor, re-
signed from the committee Of one
hundred which brought Billy sun
day, baseball player er-evangelist, here

Il must be free to say that there

such heaven and no such hell as DR..
Billy Sunday pretends and cannot
compromise my position as a minis
ter 10 Jesus Christ" DR. Aked wrote
In asking that his resignation from
the committee OF one hundred be ac-
cepted.
According to DR., II. II. Bell, execu-
tive OF the committee, Dr. Aked said
he had opposed the movement to
bring Sunday to San Francisco from
the outset He found himself a mi
nority Of one. but believing II would
not be possible to obtain the evan
gelists services for revival here did
not wish to separate from the com
mlttee upon grounds which might not
be put in effect.
In reply Dr. Bell wrote DR.. Aked
that his position came as a surprise,
bloth to himself and Bishop f H.
Hughes.
We have not felt that your asso-
citation with us as a committee made
you responsible for our theological
views, or ourselves responsible for
yours. nor yet made any Of US three
responsible for all the theological
views and opinions Of any evangelist
whom We have brought to the taber-
nacle," DR. Bell said.

Foroot His Sweetheart.

Doctor Brandes, the Danish man of
letters, who recently visited this
country, tells a curious story of him
self, says the Chicago News. At the
very moment he had appointed to
keep a tryst with his sweetheart he
was deep in Hegel.
with a passionate desire to reach
a comprehension of the truth, Crap
pied with the system, began with the
encyclopedia, read the three volumes
of Aesthetics, the Phenomenology of
the Mind then the Philosophy of
Law again, and finally the logic, the
natural philosophy and the philosophy
of the mind in a veritable intoxication
OF comprehension and delight"
The lamentable sequel was that he
forgot all about the young girl to
whom he had to say good-by.

SATIRE CONTAINS A MORAL
Ones Real Qualities May Be More In
Demand Than Those One
Makes Pretense of.

Among the clever satires in Barry
Pains new book, Stories Without
Tears" is one which relates how a
publisher went to an employment
agency to secure a clever writer.
The agency man told him it would
be easy to fill the order.
We've got 4S0 clever writer's on
our books he said. I'll send a few
dozen of the best around to your office
this afternoon and you can pick one.
That do?
Nicely said the customer, and
rose to go, when he remembered some
thing. BY the way he said, I also
want boy who can be trusted to take
charge Of the stamps and petty cash.
"Then Mr.. Agency threw down his
pen. He did not book that order. He
gave sigh like high-power suction
pump. DO you? he said In melan-
choly voice. Well, if you find two save
one for me. want one myself
"Oh, my poor friends who are trying
to be cleverer than you are, remember
that the world also wants honest men.
"And, as things stand at present,
Patent Tills with the Unmonkeyable
Lock are better market than Brain

Borneo Pirates.

Brunei Borneo, is one of the strang-
est cities in the world. Once the
headquarters of the Borneo pirates,
1t is a kind of eastern Venice, being
built entirely over the water. This re-
markable city is the capital of the
state of Brunei, Borneo All the houses
are built over the River Limbang, con-
Btructed on slender piles made from
the Nibong palm, wood that resists
the action of water for many years.
The inhabitants of Brunei are Malays,
Kadayans, Orang- Buskits, and a few
Muruts. They earn their living most
ly by trading with other tribes in the
interior of Sarawak and British North
Borneo. Some of them are very skill
full brass workers, and the Brunei
women make beautiful cloth, inter
woven and embroidered with gold
thread. Sage is grown in the valleys
nearby, and small quantity of rice is
also raised. In the early part of the
nineteenth century Brunei was the
rendezvous of the dread Borneo pi-
rates, and market for the slave
trade.-Wide World Magazine.

Paving the Spied.

Louis XVIII must have been sincere
ly grateful for the institution of spies.
Shortly after the restoration he asked
Fouche, his minister of police (who
had filled the same office under Ma
poleon) whether he had been efficient
ly spied upon during his exile in Eng
land. After a considerable amount Of
pressing, Fouche admitted that one
of the members of the royal house
hold, the Due de Blacas, used to fur
nish regular reports concerning his
masters movements. How much did
you pay for his services?" inquired
the king. "A fixed allowance Of eS,-
900 year." was the reply. 81 am glad
to hear you say that" said the king.
I'VE arranged to divide his earnings
as a spy, and so long as he was work
ing for you I used to draw $4,000
a year. 1t is comforting to learn that
he didn't cheat me."-London Chron-

Early American Industry,

When English colonists settled on
the Atlantic coast from New England
to North Carolina, the abundance of
wood suggested to them that there
might be profit In the sale of ashes.
In 1921, less than fifteen years after
the founding of jamestown, the Vir'
ginians were selling ashes at from $50
to $40 a ton for export to England.
The burning of ashes was favorite
business undertaken by negroes who
had run away from slavery in the
South and had settled In Canada. No
capital was required, as wood was
free; and. though the income was
small, the work was easy and served
to attract a good many people. AS
late as 1898 Canada exported annually
1898 barrels of potash and pearlash,
the equivalent of more than 10000
barrels of ashes.-Hardwood Record.

TALK ON WESTERN
CANADA
Facts Don't Lie-Western Can
ada Is Full of FaCts-Here
Are Three of Them.

1. c. T. Moore, Underhill, Man.
Came from Bruce County. Ontario,
1882, with a capital of $500. Home
steaded quarter section. Now owns
1880 acres for which he paid average
Of $20.00-worth today $4,000 per acre.
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sas-
katchewan. Came from Perthshire,
Scotland, 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada.
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000
acres at $500 per acre. Has been
very successful in mixed farming
Values land now at $4,000 per acre,
and is worth $4,000. IF l had re-
NAMED in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been passport to
the poor house." he says.
8. H. ]. Smith, Glover Bar, Alberta.
Came from North Michigan, 1893,
without capital. Now farming 800
acres, valued at 5000 per acre. Pur-
chased originally at $500 per acre.
Engaged in mixed farming. Cows
average him $4,000 year.
All this talk about the exploitation
of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost Of living, and
SO forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility Of being
robbed of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward in exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested.
If those who whine at urban condi-
lions would give a little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy clear way out OF
their difficulties. For the first step,

ment Advertisement.

perience of the more recent past, force

madness on our part to be so misled
and deluded by that kind of amiable
optimism which always prevails
