GRACE BAPTIST
We all felt very comfortable in
our clean house Sunday The
usual crowd was in attendance.
The subject Of the morning dis
course was Our Hiding Place"
The text used is to be found in 80
chapter Isaiah 2 verse. "And a
man shall be as an hiding place
from the wind and covert from
the tempest" etc. We pointed
out the truth that. though we may
be optimists yet we must acknowl-
edge that life as We know il has its
desert like aspects and is subject
to its tempests Further God has
blessed some men by mlking them
as hiding places for their fellows
This was true of Kings like David;
Prophets like Samunl aud Elijah,
of law givers like Moses: of the
worlds greatest men. Again men
have become hiding place to
their fellows by maniiesting a spirit
of sympathetic helpfulness by
answering the heart call of the
folks aa2t him and by getting
their life connected up with that
of Christ. the greatest of all hiding
places. He is indeed the Hiding
Place for the souls of men and he
is man as well as God.
The subject for the night service
as previously announced was The
Price of Hogs" Text Mark 5 II

LEARN SECRETS OF NATURE
Some of the So-CaIIed Rarer MetaIs
May Not Always Be So, De.
clare Chemists.

Among the so-called "rarer" metals
the most interesting are those whose
compounds are abundant but whose
cost Of obtaining from these CON-
pounds is very high. In other words
cheap methods have not yet been
worked out for extracting the metals
from these abundant compounds. In
an article by DR.. J. w. Richards in
MetaHurgical and Chemical Engineer
ing a discussion Is given of the posi-
bilities of some of these rarer metals,
among which are beryllium, which is
found as a compound in the gem, m
erald, but more %abundantly as n min
eral called beryl. Magnesium is an
other metal which has lately been
made on a fair-sized scale in this
try but not especially cheaply. Others
are calcium, strontium, barium, boron,
chromium, titanium and chromium.
Aluminium in 1856 sold for $40 per
pound. Today 1t sells for GO cents,
but normally is much lower, due to
cheap methods Of extraction by cleo
tricity at Niagara Falls.
The silicon industry furnishes an
other example in point. Silica Is the
most abundant and cheapest material
in nature, yet silicon was selling in
1900 as a chemical curiosity at owe
500 an ounce. At present 10 cents
per pound is a good price for silicon,
due also to the use Of electricity in
electric furnace. It is possible that
the coming generation of chemists will
find cheap methods Of producing some
Of the present ~'rarer" metals.

M'GRAW RETAINS JOB.
Will Manage Giants Next Year De-
snite Contrary RumOrS.

New York, Oct. 6.-John J. McGraw
will continue to manage the New York
Nationals next year, despite any re-
ports to the contrary, says John B..
Foster, secretary Of the club.
"McGraw already has gone oyer the
plans for next year with President
Hampstead" said Mr.. Foster, "and
has high hopes of leading the New
York club to a pennant. His contract
with the New York club has another
year to run, and it is not fair to him
or the club to have rumor spread
that he will not be with New York
next year."
Despite the roasting he gave them
in the game with Brooklyn Tuesday,
the players Of the New York club are
seeking McGraw to present to him a
collection Of Shakespeare's works,
which they had purchased before his
t1are.up. There will be no public pre-
.ssntation ceremonies.
