1t WAS uttered in a church, from

Of a church in Detroit last Sunday.
And did the minister apologize for
letting politics get into his sermon?
Did he feel called upon TO say 10 his

earnestness and on account Of a con-
suming desire to see his city saved, he,
perhaps, had overstepped the bounds Of

The minister was the Rev W H.
Wray Boyle, pastor Of the Woodward
ave- Presbyterian church.
We are making a fight against the
saloon in Detroit and Michigan that
would have been won 10 years ago if
there had been ministers with the spunk
to lean over the open Bible and talk as
straight to their congregations as DR..
Boyle talked to his congregation on Sun
day evening
There wasn't one thing out Of the
way in what this minister said, just be
cause he said it in his sermon.
1t was exactly the thing for him TO
say and do, and it is exactly the thing
for every minister in Detroit and Mich
igan to do at some time before the mem
bers of their congregations file TO the
voting booths in November.
The minister who fails 10 do II will
neglect his duty.
We build and support churches for
their influence over city and state.
Ministers are appointed to these
churches to spread that influence
The work Of the church and the min
lister is saving men from hell
What can there be wrong, possibly, in
a speech from any sermon in any pulpit
by any minister il the object Of that
speech is to save a city from hell?
One of the great troubles with the
church Is the fact that it has been con-
tent to be a power ON retail basis
when its real force can never be felt
until Il broadens out into the wholesale
field.

LINCOLN's VIEWS ON MEXICO.

As far as the United States is con-
cerned. the Mexican question is at
least rs years old. President after
president has grappled with 1t. 1t has
remained for Professor w. l.. Davis
of the College of Puget Sound TO dig
up a characteristic Lincoln letter deal
ing with some of the phases OF the
Mexican problem that are now so an
moving. The Great Emancipator makes
1t very plain that he favors Mexican
autonomy. He also makes It plain
that he realizes that democracy VIII
will have a stony road to travel in the
republic south of the Rio Grande.
Lincoln was not an interventionalist.
He was rather one who believed that
the Mexicans have to fight their
way to freedom, and develop in &C
cordance with their own traditions and
environments.
In order to properly appreciate the
Lincoln letter it is necessary to I'M
derstand that Benito Juarez had just
taken office and that American capital
lists, fearing the popular hero of the
Mexicans Immediately spread reports
that Americans were being murdered,
their properties destroyed, their rights
trampled under" Intervention was
demanded. 1t will be seen that his
tory has simply been repeating itself.
| Through Secretary Seward, Lincoln
sent the following instructions to the
American ambassador in Mexico:
For a few years past the condition
of Mexico has been so unsettled as to
raise the question on both sides of the
Atlantic whether the time has not
come when some foreign power ought.

There was a. telephone instrument
screwed against the wall, and suddenly
there came a sharp ring. whether
the electric current was stronger than
usual or that Mary was Influenced by
the terror of the storm, tho bell SEEM

She hurried to the instrument and, un-
hooking the receiver, held 1t to her
ear.
Mary" came the voice OF John Tai
bot, to whom Mary was betrothed and
who she supposed was coming up from
Florida in a coast steamer OF which
he was third mate, take up board

There was a click, and Mary knew
that communication was shut of. She
waited for II TO be renewed, then rat
tied the hook that held the receiver,
called, did everything she could think
of to attract attention, but could not
break the silence. At last, impressed
by feeling of awe, she hung up the
receiver and. trembling, returned to
her seat.
The George Brewster. in which John
Talbot was coming north, was not due

She might have done so to avoid the
storm, for she was an old vessel and
not considered very seaworthy. But
what did this fragmentary message
mean? Take up a board in the north
west corner of my room at home"
Mary and John were to be married
soon after his return from this voyage.
Could the message have anything to
do with the preparations that were be-
ing made for the wedding?
The next morning news was publish

Mary Richards when she began to re-
cover from the shock of her loss re

How had her betrothed been able to
communicate with her while at sea
There was no wireless telegraph APP
paratus on the Brewster by which he
could communicate with the shore.
Besides, the voice she had heard was
his, and he addressed her direct.
John Talbot's mother had died when
he was a little boy, and his father had
married a woman who had made life
miserable for her husband and her
step-son AS soon as John was old
enough to earn any money she insisted
that he should go to work and forced
him to bring all he earned to her. This
continued till he grew to manhood,

her a will executed by John Talbot

handed her bonds the interest on which

The story Mary told has been the
subject of much thought among SCI
entists, especially those who are work
ing on new lines Of transmitting the
human voice without a material con-
ductor. Some of them believe that
John Talbot hit upon a natural law
as yet unrevealed TO the world. The
psychical research people, believe that
the message was sent by what we call
supernatural means.

WHY IS A STROKE2

Apoplexy, hemorrhage into the
brain, or a stroke of paralysis, is one
Of the factors which are increasing
the risks Of being alive after 40.
ApOplexy, heart disease, Bright's
disease and cancer appear to be con-
spring to kill US of just at the time
of life when we should be at our
best. These four diseases are degen-
erations II doesn't seem reasonable
that we should begin to degenerate
Immediately we have reached matur-
ity. Is it a necessary feature of
life? Surely not We have no bust
ness degenerating so early. 1t is the
fault Of our mode OF living We try
to live 80 years in the space of 40,
and often succeed in doing it.
An artery in the brain would
never rupture and bleed if it were
not unduly fragile. There are vari-
Gus things that will make an artery
fragile: Moderate beer drinking,
heavy smoking, the continual poison
ing of the autointoxication, the severe
poisoning of lead. syphilis, and GER
tain acute infectious diseases like
pneumonia and typhoid fever, and
finally over-eating, especially an ex-
cess Of animal nitrogen, meat. These
are the contributing causes of apo
pIexy. heart disease and Bright's dis
ease 1--WE don't know about cancer as
yeti. because they are the direct
causes of arteriosclerosis or harden
ing of the arteries.
Hard work. good manual labor, has
been charged with contributOry in
fiuence, but there is no sound evil
dence to support the charge. Neither
hard mental nor hard physical work
hurts the arteries or favors apopIexy,
but very often the excuses accom-
panying overwork, the resort TO
stimUlants to keep the body going
when natural fatigue would show the
imperative need of rest, do aid in the
breakdown and this. we think, is the
real explanation for disasters attrib-
utPd to overwork.
Men are four times more frequent
ly subject TO apoplexy than women.
not because men work harder, for they
don't, but because men sin more

THE HUGHES OF OLD.

In a carefully conceived, concerted,
and altogether desperate effort to
awaken interest and arouse enthusi-
asm for the Hughes method of cam
paigning, the metropolitan press came
out this morning in detailing the
accounts of the presidential can
didate's tour Of Illinois yester-
day, and speaks in glowing
terms of the smashing campaign he
is conducting, and that Hughes has
come back" the Hughes of 1908"
the Hughes of DID," etc And the
burden OF what the Hughes of old"
told the people in his blow on blow"
dash over Illinois in his flashing of
Wilson acts" was to condemn with
bitter inveCtiyes the attitude of the
administration in establishing the
eight-hour day among railroad en-
plOyes, q principle which, despite the
protests OF corporations, is becoming
universally recognized as fair, humane
and just
The president broke his pick with
the interests when he took up the side
OF the workers, and insisted that their
rights be recognized and considered
and the interests want the president
numerically flashed" with blow on
blow" for yielding to the cause Of la
Dor.
Consequently, Mr. Hughes is doing
the flashing of Wilson" blow on blow"
act
