the ratification OF the pending conven-
ton with Nicaragua, n measure by
which II is hoped to strengthen the finan-
cial condition OF that republic. There
is, therefore, a fear that II a treaty is
made with Hayti confirmation OF II In
the Senate will be difficult.
On the other hand, it Is believed by
some officials that the situation In Mex

may have impressed opposition Senators
with the advisability of the United

Journal started the patriotic habit by
selling over three thousand Of it's Axe
flags and to this number many more
have been added this year. With the
military spirit rampant it is only nat

their colors. To patriotism is added
civic pride. neighborhood pride and
the honorable motive of instructing

new ENGLAND'S DEBT TO
THE METHODIST MINISTRY

Grew. James Nudge. D. D. in Boston
Transcript
Has New England debt to the min
listers of Methodism? 1t is LBS years
since Methodist ministers first began
to exert steady and permanent in
iuence in this section. With ever in
creasing numbers and efficiency they
have made their way. until few towns
or villages have not known their pres.
ence and felt their influence. Wherever
they have appeared they have been a
positive force for Righteousness OF
every kind and for everything that was
well adapted to promote the abiding
and genuine prosperity Of the COM
munities In which they lived.
These men have freely served on
school committees, have established
academies and other institutions for
higher learning. and have stirred up
promising youth to seek such advan-
tages. The number Is very large of
those in whose ears they have said;
go to college, my boy" thus giving,
at Just the right moment. the needed
stimulus that has changed the whole
current Of life. Large numbers have
served on boards Of instruction for
small remuneration.
The amazing advance which has been
made during the past century In tenn
perance reform owes more to the Meth
odist ministry than to any other one
agency. They have been fearless in
their attack, most persistent in their
onslaughts, and wholly uncompromising
in their entire attitude. Both in their
official action AZ leaders Of their
churches and in their private capacity
az individual citizens they have not
hesitated to throw their whole influence
into the fray. They were first in the

pail as the queen bee was up in the

way to the inside. 1t is said that the
early swarming Of the bees is indica-
tive of a good season.
