In the Religious World
~ WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

1t was all so simple and unspectac-
uiar that it takes only two sentences
in the inspired record to tell it:
Peter said to him, 'Aeneas. Jesus
Christ healeth thee: Arise, and make
thy own bed And straightway he
arose. And all that dwelt at Lydia
and Sharon saw him; and they turned
to the Lord
Who dares to attempt to portray
all that this meant to the man who
had been bed-ridden for eight years?
Or who can describe what salvation
means to human soul? Ten thou
sand hymns have attempted it. all
inadequately. 1t will need the new
song about the throne to express
fully the JOY of the redeemed This
miracle, or sign also did its work
in winning the neighbors to the
way.
A Successful Woman.
OF Mary Lyon schools and Of
Frances Willard homes and of Susan
B. Anthony clubs there are num-
Der, in tribute to the greatness of
these women. Il never did hear of
anything named after Cleopatra or
the Queen of Sheba, unless it was a
cosmetic.) Doubtless Of all the WON
en- who have lived none has had her
name concentrated oftener than that
ministering saint of Jaffa, Dorcas.
Thousands of Dorcas societies have
been forced in honor and imitation of
her.
Let us read all that we know about
Dorcas, using the story as told in
The New Testament-In Modern
Speeches
Among the disciples at Jaffa was a
woman called Tabitha. or, as the name
may be translated, 'Dorcas' Her life
was wholly devoted to the good and
charitable actions which she was con-
stantly doing. But, as it happened.
just at that time she was taken i'll and
died. After washing her body they
laid it out in a room upstairs. Lud,
however, being near Jaffa, the disci-
pies, who had heard that Peter was
at Lud, sent two men to him with an
urgent request that he would come
across to them without delay So Peter
rose and went with them. On his ar
rival they took him upstairs, and the
widow women all came and stood by
his side weeping and showing him the
Undertaking and cloaks and gar
ments Of all kinds which Dorcas used
to make while she was still, with them
Peter, however, putting every one out
of the room, knelt down and prayed,
and then turning to the body, he said:
!" Tabitha, rise.'
"Dorcas at once opened her eyes,
and seeing Peter, sat up"
Here was a woman who found sue
cess, in the largest meaning of that
word, in ways open to the humbest
woman on earth. Her sort of sue
cess, which is the best sort, had been
achieved by ministry in common
ways throughout the ordinary days
Social service" is the only modern
name for it: James called it pure
religion and undefiled." Very few
girls can achieve careers as that
word is commonly understood; and
those who do are usually disappoint-
ed. Literally every one, however,
may win to the Dorcas standards Of
success, which is Christian helpful
ness. There are more tears shed at
the biers Of the sweet saints who

Large sums are asked as damages in
both cases.
The grand Jury will probably have
but little to claim it's attention aside
from the case OF John Pitkin, accused
of stealing a speeding mare belonging
to A. C. Wisecarver. Judge C. w.
EVermilion of Centerville is presiding
at this term and already has ground
out number of assignments and pro-

grand opera prima donnas.
Peter raised Dorcas from the dead.
That miracle advertised the super
natural gospel. 1t told the never
ON story that Christianity is relig-
ion of power, In one way or an
other it brings new life to dead
spirits, and is followed by a trail Of
rejoicing and service.

AUTOMOBILE STATUTES

Practically every automobiiist in the
state Seems to have let the fact escape
his attention that the automobile laws
were materially changed last winter Ivy

ers OF pow er machincs-automobil

VIII be aSccrtaincd as determined By
the Society of Automobile Engineers
which bases the power Of machines IN
the size OF the cylinders
FOR many years manufacturers have
ncen advertising cars at a certain
si'"cihed power. This has been found
incorrect in many Instances, the power
the engine developed exceeding that
listed. and the new Law requires that
ihc horse power be determined by the
rating established by the engineers
IN All cases the rate for every machine

An important feature of Tho law
enacted by the Legislature last winter

Revenue this year from automobile

Tor the maintenance Of roads that have

TORONTO, ONT, October lQ.-Aware
OF the Importance OF providing employ
nIent after the war for the returning
soldiers. the dominion Military Hos
pttals Commission, meeting in Toronto
recently. adopted resolutions that adj
rocate the building OF q national high.
way by the government to give work
~ the unskilled laborers. Thousands
OF soldiers Will return to Canada with
no prospects for making 4 living, and
the government already realizes the
great task of finding employment for
them.
The commission has this in view, and
as Senator Longhead is president OF
the commission. at least Il hearing
seems to be assured the resolution IN
Parliament. And IL Parliament listens
kindly TO It's measures. tho Federal
government Will have solved another
after-the war problem
Not only Is the highway expected To
give employment to those who would
otherwise he able to find none but
such road would be built with the
notorist and the business to be gained
from the attraction Of tourists in mind.
Other benefits arc those Of Il military
nature. Not only would II solve the
problem OF rehabilitation and allow a
sraHuhl. rather than an abrupt. dis
ihisshl OF soldiers, but the highway
Woulu serve as memorial OF the Do
minion's part in the war
The first resolution contains the meat
OF the matter and is worth quoting for
mat reason. as anything put forward
by men prominent in national affairs
ior the purpose of providing for re-
turned soldiers is Of international eff
feet. The resolution follows:
That, as a considerable number of
the men who have enlisted and arc at
present overseas or about 10 proceed
thither are unskllled laborers, for
whom 1t may be difficult to provide en-
ploymcnt Immediately on their return.
the commission advocates the building
OF Il national highway by tho Federal
submit to the government that such an
undertaking would he work OF the
greatest value. Among the advan.
tages would be:
/. Temporary employment would be
provided for thousands OF men who
would not otherwise find work
= No ublic work would provide so
large an amount OF employment at so
small a capital outlay.
3. The highway would lie Of immense
value as means for the transit of
agricultural and other produce
]. IL would he the means OF attract
ing numbers OF tourists. cntailing the
spending OF money within the borders
OF Canada.

as il would allow Il grad

mortal TO Canada's part in the great
