A RELIGIOUS CENTER

TN congratulating Bishop Darlington
! upon the coincident tenth anniver-
sary Of the formation of the Harris
burg diocese and his conservation as
bishop it may not be amiss to call
attention to the growing importance of
Harrisburg as religious center. This
is now the see city not only of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, but OF
the Roman Catholic diocese of Har-
risburg as well. In addition, Harris
burg is the official residing place of
one of the bishops of the United
Evangelical Church and it's publishing
house. which came into existence fol-
lowing the establishment of the official
church paper, The Evangelical, by
Bishop H. B. Hartzler many years ago,
has attracted here quite a little COLONY
of influential United Evangelical
churchmen, including a number of
ex-bishops now holding other offices in
the denomination. There is also To-
Gated here the publishing house of the
Church of God.
The growth of the Episcopal do
cese under the administration of
Bishop Darlington has been remark
ably rapid and substantial, as perusal
of the brief history of the district pub
lished in Saturdays issue of the Tele-
graph will show. Both the bishop and
those who have labored with him have
much for which to be thankful and
over which they are justly entitled to
rejoice, and the people of all other de-
nominations will join with them in
their celebration of the double ami
,yersary event this week, in spirit at
least.

AN EVENING THOUGHT
Concealing Good
Qualities

Once in a while you meet a
man with admirable qualities
who carefully conceals the same
by abnormal modesty.
He never gets credit for what
he is except from most intimate
friends.
Good merchandise not adver-
tised is like such a man.
1t may be the best ever but
no one knows Tits qualities
are concealed behind the walls of
silence.
Let the merchandise tell it's
story through the advertising
columns of a live newspaper like
the Telegraph. and IL becomes a
familiar friend of people with
money to spend.

Therein lies the chief horror of this

war and a great hope for the future.
These men who want to be friendly
are driven at each others throats by
the governmental systems of which
they are the pawns. They are the
chessmen and they move at the will OF
those who play the great game of con-
tinental diplomacy. The question is,
will their experience in the trenches
bring them to their senses? VIII they
learn their lesson, or will they go
sauandering their revenue and spill
ing their blood at the beck and call
of rulers who see in them only so
much raw food for cannon? That
they will not is the hope that the war
holds out.

Leaves a Bad Taste.
From the wichita Beacon.


Anew cause for complaint has been dis
covered touching Mr.. Bryan. When. he
left the secretary OF states office he took
the desk that has been used by secretaries
of state for 30 years. Mr.. Bryan desired
this as a souvenir. He attached unusual
all to 1t not because OF the great Sec
~retaries of state who have used 1t In the
past, but because II was the desk on which
he signed his own peace treaties. He had
the government reimbursed by having
builded a desk Of the same size to take
the place OF the historic one. Some are
saying that Mr.. Bryan could not legally
do this since the desk that he carried
away was the property OF the government
and that the government also attached a
sentimental value to It by reason of Its
long service In the state department. OF
course, the government lost nothing actual
and Mr.. Bryan gained nothing actual, but
the chiefest value in a nations life IL
made up of its sentiments and Its menu
cries and the symbols of its past glories.
These constitute an everlasting heritage
and for that reason relics, u as Mr..
Bryan removed, belong to the nation. The
Beacon has no desire to join In criticism OF
the episode. except to say that II was a Pc
culiar thing to do. and, as an admirer OF
Mr.. Bryan, we wish he hadn't done It
