EITHER PREACHER OR PIRATE.
That's the Kind for the Ministry
 Says Former Local Pastor.

Rev. Dr. Ozora S. Davis, formerly pastor of the South Congregational church and at present president of the Chicago Theological seminary was the principal speaker at the graduation exercises of the St. Louis Training School for Sunday School Workers Tn his address, pr. Davis spoke in part as follows:
 "I want for preachers, boys who, if they didn't make preachers, would make pirates. The greatest fault of Christian teaching and preaching to- day is too much using the language if Zion without knowing it's meaning. Don't use empty phrases. Our Chris tian vocabulary needs to be vitalized.'

was promoted lieutenant-general and then chief of staff to Lord Roberts in the South African war, and on Lord Roberts return to England in Mo- vember 1900 succeeded him as com mander-in- chief in that field. By con- structing a $500 mile chain of block houses he stopped the Boer raids and virtually ended the war in South Afri- ca. This added to his popularity and prestige at home, and he was rewarded by the title of viscount, promotion to the rank of general for distinguished services, the thanks of the parliament and a grant of s250,0O0.
 Immediately after the peace Gener- al Kitchener went to India as com mander- in chief of the British forces there, and in this position when ne held for seven years, he carried out not only many far-reaching admlnls- trative reforms but complete reor- ganization and strategical redlstrl- button of the British and native forces. On leaving India in 1909 he was pro- noted to field mashal and appolnted chief and hlgh cohl- missioner in the Mediterranean ana later on took tour Of lnspectloh ol the forces of the entire enplre, draw ing up a scheme of defense or the overseas dominions.
 He then returned to Egypt the scene of his first triumph, m the ca pacity of British agent and consul gen. eral in Cairo-virtually a governor generalship of Egypt-and led Ill the economical development Of the coun- try, building new roads and irrigation projects on a large scale.
 ''AH Steel and IPice.'
 During all the years the British people had looked on Kitchener's si- lent, but effective work, they had never been able to fathom his person. ality. A cocl1ney non-commissioned officer who had seen much service under him. summed up the general opinion when he said of Kitchener: "'E's no talker Not i'm. Els all steel and h'ice.''
 His face was that of Q man who neither asked for sympathy nor wanted it.
 He had steady, b1ue-gray passion less eyes, and a heavy moustach cov- eyed a mouth that shut close and firm like a wolf trap. He believed with all his might in the gospel of work. He had illimitable lf-conf1dence. For bunglng and faint-heartedness he was incapable of feeling sympathy or showing mercy; an officer who failed him once got no second chance. He had a grim, laconic humor What is your taste in hairpins'?, for in stance, is said to have been the query with which he annihilated a dandified officer. He was indifferent to popularity, particularly among wo- men, and though feted all over the world in social circles, he never mar ried. In 1910 he said a brief visit to the United States during a trip around the world. At that time it came out | in the New York papers that the great Kitchener was a "Woman hater." He took occasion to deny this and said the | only reason he had never married was because he believed a man could not i be 9 good soldier and a good husband 1 at the same time.

 Robertson Probable Successor. When the news of the sinking of l the cruiser Hampshire with Earl 1 Kitchener and his staff on board was received in London meeting of the British war council was immediately
 called. Sir William Robertson, chief
 of the imperial staff, who probably
 will become the head of the war office; 1 Sir Edward Grey Secretary for for ] eign affairs; Reginald McKenna l chancellor of the exchequer, and Da-
 vid Lloyd George, minister of muni- 1 tions, were present at the council. The death of Earl Kitchener caused as profound an impression in London as did the news last week of the naval 1 battle in the North Sea. The work of the secretary at one stage of the war was the subject of great discussion and considerable questioning but there has been strong reaction in the public
 mind in the last last few months, and
 Earl Kitchener's popularity and pres tige appeared to have been restored fully.
 The first question asked when the
 news of Kitchener's death was an-
 nounced was: Who will succeed
 him?" The answer invariably was:
 Robertson, of course.''
 Sir William Robertson, who is re-
 garded as the only possible successor to Earl Kitchener as the head of the British army. already had taken over the war secretary's duties temporarily when the secretary started on his ill., fated journey. On Saturday and again yesterday he had audiences with King George to report on the activi- ties on the British front in which the Canadians have so distinguished themselves.
 Has Confidence of Country. The general has the full confidence of the country. While he cannot be- come secretary of war unless he is raised to the peerage, a member of l the house of lords might be put at 1 the head of the war office with the ) understanding that the general like | Earl Kitchener, would have a free 1 rein.
 Earl Kitchener's confidence on Fri | day with members of the house of l commons, when he explained confi-
 dentially the military situation, was
 a remarkable incident. Two hundred 1 members gathered to talk with him. Extra ordinary precautions were taken to keep outsiders from the precincts | of Westminster Palace.
 Earl Kitchener generally made a l rather poor impression as a speaker, since he always read his statements l from manuscript and did not talk in
 an effective way. On this occasion, | however. he conversed freely with

suggest his being displaced as War i Secretary, but the majority of the papers defended him. It was agreed ! that the raising of a big army and supplying munitions at the same time was too great a task for one man. The discussion developed the forma- l tion of a Coalition Cabinet and the creation of the new portfolio of Min ister of Munitions, of which David Lloyd George took charge, while Kitchener remained as War Minister Won Fame Abroad
 Without his crowning achievements as the great organizer of the British campaign in the European war Kitchener had already won wide and lasting fame by his many campaigns in Egypt, South Africa and in India
 He was born June 24. 1850, in County Kerry, Ireland. a fact that gave rise to a general belief that he was Of Irish blood, but his parents were of French and English descent. His father was a soldier. but e no very high rank. He had managed to climb to the lieutenant-co colonelcy of dragoon regiment. when he retir ed to the estate in Ireland where Ho- ratio Herbert Kitchener, the to-be- distinguished son, was born. Young Kitchener received his fundamental military education at Woolwich where he displayed only ordinary brilliancy with the exception of his liking for mathematics. On graduating he re- ceived a commission in the Royal Engineers but when not yet 21 years of age he attached himself to a French army in the F'ranco-Prussian
 
 only a short time when he contracted pneumonia during a balloon flight, and had such a prolonged and ser ious illness that he had to give up further service for France. Kitchen CTS experience in European warfare prior to his direction of the great war of 1914-therefore, had been linn ited only to a few balloon flights in France.
 In 1874 when a British expedition was sent out to survey Western Palestine, Kitchener was one of the eager volunteers accepted for this service. For months he travelled over the hills and valleys of this peace 1 able Bible land with his theodolite and surveying tape, and with this life in the open he grew to be a tall. gaunt subaltern with hard face well burned. His contribution to the topo- graphical knowledge of the Holy Land completed, young Kitchener was sent to Cyprus which Great Britain had just acquired, to organize a sys- tenn of courts work in which he dis played administrative ability and tact
 It was while there: in 1882, that he took his first step on the path that was to lead him eventually to Khartum. Trouble was already brew ing in the Sudan. Hearing that the Egyptian army was being organized 1 by Sir Evelyn Wood. young Kitchen CT saw his opportunity with unerring instinct and lost no time in offering his services. The military authorities recognizing at once his insight into the native character put him in the intelligence departm ent, and from the

However it was learned from the

attacking fleet started from point
500 miles out at sea. Its duty was
to make a landing on the coast The
fleet assigned to the defense which
was inferior in tonnage, inferior in
numbers and inferious IN number of
guns, was to prevent the landing.

could be discovered no more until the

Much of the coast was covered in
fog and the defense, although using
all the strategy it had was out maneu-

forty thousand troops within ten

Talks on Banking.

When it is considered that in some
states such as Massachusetts, one out
of every two and a half people have
savings bank accounts, and in New
York with its great population, one
ont of three. the intimacy with which
the savings bank touches the lndl-
yidual will become manifest. In fact
no other institution except the home,
the church, or the school comes into
such close contact with humanity as
does the savings bank. And because
il touches the lives of so many peo-
ple so vitality, the whole body polite
is interested in the savings bank and
what it does.
Financially speaking no other inst-
tuition has such a marked effect for
good to the Individual and the com
munity as does the bank that takes

and that institution is the savings
bank.
While the bank of discount is an
indispensable part of business life,
and we could not do business without
it, the number of patrons of the
banks of discount is Insignificant in
comparison with the depostors of the
savings banks of the country. now
numbering over ten million.
1t is well to know something about
this feature of banking, for savings
bank is more than "a place to put
money"-it is great cooperative in
yestment institution, and inasmuch as
this is the Centennial Year of the
savings bank and the event will be
properly celebrated by 'he American
Bankers association at its annual
meeting at Kansas City in Septem-
ber. it is proposed to outline as brief
ly as possible in the next three or
four talks on banking in the present
series. the fundamental fatures of the
savings bank Like a great many
other institutions that have made for
human good, the savings bank Is a
and the origin of the
idea is in doubt. Daniel Eefoe OF
Robinson Crusoe" fame is mentioned
as the original savings bank man,
who conceived scheme for the re-
ceipt of deposits on the part of the
government. Nothing came Of 1t.
Priscilla Wakefield and Joseph Smith
in England also had schemes for the
receipt on the part of the well to do,
OF small savings and the repaying OF
the same at Christmas time with a
bounty, contributed by the wealthy
managers; but these endeayors
worked on the theory that the poor
should be encouraged to save for the
sake of the reward offered, and were
supported by the donations of the
rich, which is far from the savings
bank idea. The first man to grasp
the fact that the earning power OF
the money left in the care of the
managers should support the institu
ton. was the Rev Henry Duncan, a
Scotch preacher, who, in the village
of Ruthwell, Scotland, opened his
first true savings bank, in 1910, along
the lines still in vogue today. This
was the first savings bank that had II
