motion of it's welfare, is a falacy
from the Christian standpoint.
Christianity begins IN the individ-
ual; the religion is to save not the
mass, but the individual, and to save
him from himself; to show him how
to conserve his powers and give them
the best chance in the world to
make good. The plan is in perfect
keeping for all that is for permanent
good. It is in perfect keeping with
the coinage Of silver, the blowing Of
the field, the performance of daily
tasks.
Germany is the home of the great
est industrial concerns and systems
in the world. Christianity is the
cause of that wonderful awakening
of the barbarians of those wild for
ests. When the messengers of Christ
walked or rode through those al
most impenetrable Businesses of Ger
many blazing the trail for the great
est of all reformations under Martin
Luther, Christianity was. the cause.
Whatever greatness any nation may
possess must be laid at the door of
Christianity Americas diseoverer
was Christian. The first Christian
college here established still bears
the inscription, "For Christ and the
Church."
Goodness and morals are always
founded in Christianity or religion.
Freedom and virtue has no immort-
al hope except in the Christian re-
ligion.
A spiritual awakening is needed in
Webster City as elsewhere. We need
some means of helping us to get a
spiritual, vision and desire. We have
gone long toward solving the prob
lem of church, but we need spirit
ual awakening and the creation Of
spiritual appetite. A revival is simp-
ly the organization of Christian
forces, as political campaign is the
organization of things political to-
ward one great purpose.
If for no other reason, 1t is good
for us to find out how many good
people there are in the other churc!l-
es. That all the good ones are not
in the Methodist, the Presbyterian.
or other churches.
At the conclusion of his morning
talk, Evangelist Bromley asked for
the hand of good will from every
person in the house and as the Choir

ly by the evangelist and shook hands
with him.
In the afternoon at o'clock In
the Baptist church Miss Cain adj

The sun was just above the western

the whole extent of the plateau was
visible beneath me. 1t was. as seen
from this height, Of an oval contour,
with breadth of about thirty miles
and a width Of twenty. Its general
shape was that of shallow funnel,
all the sides sloping down to consid-

may have been ten miles in circumfer-
ence and lay very green and beautiful
in the evening light, with thick fringe
of reeds at its edges and with its sur
face broken by several yellow sand
banks, which cleaned golden in the
mellow sunshine. A number Of long,
dark objects which were too large for
alligators and too long for canoes, lay
upon the edges of these patches of
sand. With my glass I could clearly
see that they were alive.
From the side Of the plateau on

the plateau presented very different
aspect. There the basalt cliffs OF the
outside were reproduced upon the in

feet nigh, with a woody slope be-

Along the base of these red cliffs,

In the morning it was not long be-

hideous uproar which had aroused us
In the night. The iguanodon glade was
the scene of a horrible butchery. From
the pools of blood and the enormous
Jumps Of flesh scattered in every di-

the remains more closely we discov-
cred that all this carnage came from
one of these unwieldy monsters. which
had been literally torn to pieces by
some creature not larger, perhaps, but
far more ferocious, than itself.
Our two professors sat in absorbed
argument, examining piece after piece,
which showed the marks Of savage
teeth and of enormous claws.
"Our judgment must still be in
allegiance" said Professor Challenger,
with a huge slab Of whitish colored
flesh across his knee. 'The indica-

Exactly. Any one of the larger

That morning we mapped out small
portion of the plateau, avoiding the
swamp Of the pterOdactyls and keeping
to the east of our brook instead of to
the west. In that direction the coun-
try was still thickly wooded, with so
much underground that our progress
was very slow.

Summerlee, with his usual touch Of
acidity.

there was another side to the sub

these being, as our professors explain

many places the ground was absolute
ly covered with them, and rs we walk

icating in its sweetness and intensity.
The homely English bee buzzed every
