From these illustrations we can see
that frequently that faith so essential
to ones loyalty, effectiveness and hap
piness at best become belief and trust
These are sometimes used interchange
ably and anonymously with faith.
Here is great danger OF confusion. for
they are not the same in their mean
ing.
Belief is putting confidence in an
opinion. 1t is a purely intellectual act
depending upon mental culture.
Trust is a purely passive grace;
restful but not stimulating. II has no
foundation upon which character can
be safely built.
The greatest crisis-such as this
present war-that has now confronted
us and the entire world, demands self
reliance upon the part of all engaged
In this hitherto unheard-of and un-
known conflict. and the crisis needs
more than trust, for. as We know. ex-
cessive trust begets supineness and in
action.
1t needs more than belief. which puts
confidence in an opinion based upon a
consideration or want OF consideration
Of evidence. In this awful and uncaII-
ed-for war-fOrced upon the world by
the Kaiser Wilhelm-the need Of the
hour is faith; faith mighty and con-
slant
There is no fear of an III effect from
excessive faith, ever was or can be.

RED CROSS To Hold
Theatrical BENEFIT
Performances Will Be Given Next
Fall Throughout Country.

What will undoubtedly be the most
gigantic undertaking ever attempted
in the way of theatrical benefits Is
now being planned by the War Coun-
ell of the American Red Cross, of
which Henry p. Dawson is chairman.
A national Red Cross theatrical day
will be designated some time in the
fall-probably in October, when the
theatrical season will be in full swing.
On this day It Is planned to stage
a huge nationwide theatrical benefit
in practically every theater in the
entire country.
Special performances will be run.
The entire receipts of the various the
aters will be donated to the Red Cross
war relief fund. All of the actors
will contribute their salaries for the
day. And the public at large will
probably have still another opportun-
ity to evidence their loyal support OF
the great humane task OF the Red
Cross. by paying special prices for
tickets.
The movement Is already well under
way under the direction OF A. l..

The Boy Scout officials could not
discover what had become OF them.
after the news came of their break

The boys were sent carfare by their

This is a fact to remember. 1t is
indeed terrible that there should
have been so much loss of life. SO
many injuries not easy to bear in

With all their energy and with all

Kaiser's Airplanes Arouse
Curiosity of Londoners

A graphic account Of the latest air
raid OF the Germans on London is Civ
en- by d spectator. From what he
says the residents of the city were
SO greatly interested in the flying ma
chimes that they forgot the mission
Of death upon which they had been
sent. The account follows:
There has come to London the near
est vision of modern warfare it has
yet known. The Zeppelin raid which
swept over the city in the October
OF 1913 came in the darkness and mys-
terry OF night. 1t was in the late
dusk Of an autumn evening that Lon
doners watched the monsters of the
air making death upon the innocent.
This time it was different. In the
gracious lovelincss of a perfect sum-
mer's day. when the sky was blue
and gold and clear, enemy aeroplanes
tourneyed through the clouds like lit
tie silver birds, and their passage
was watched by thousands Of men and
women who had but dimIy seen the
Zeppelins of other days.

Let Something Good Be Said

When over the fair name of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shs fall, instead
Of words of blame, or proof of thus and so.
Let something good be said
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet,
If something good be said
No generous heart may vainly turn aside
In words of sympathy, no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorified,
If something good be said
And so charge ye by the thorny crown,
And by the cross which the Saviour bled
And by your own souls hope for fair renown
Let something good be said!

CONTRACTS NOT LET
FOR STREET CROSSINGS

The meeting of the city com
missioners on Monday night was
the time set for letting of the
contracs for the construction OF
the street crossings of the city.
While several contractors had
submitted bids for the work. the
commissioners decided that they
would not act at this time.
The Herald is informed that
the reason for delaying action on
this matter is that several ex-
pert cement construction work
ers had advised the commission
ers that the specifications were
not up to standard. They stated
that a crossing built according
to the specifications would not
withstand the heavy traffic to
which it will be subjected.
The commissioners will spend
some time investigating the re-
suits in other cities and learn
what specifications are necessary
to met the requirements. They
will then re-advertise for bids
and as soon as Spring opens up
the work will begin.
