Sixteen New American Cities.

Some idea of the vast extent of the
work involved in building environments
for the new national army is given in
the following paragraph from Edward
Hungerford's "The Camps of the First
Half Million" in Everybody's:
sixteen new cities for America |
Sixteen cities, each of the size of Eas-
ton, Pa, or Elmira, n Y, or Kalama-
zoo, Mich. each built to definite and
fairly common plan, and all completed
within from 100 to 100 days. Here,
then, was some slight measure of the
problem. To measure 1t in still an
other way, consider the building of q
community of wood equal in popula-
ton to Cleveland or Pittsburgh or st.
Louis; then the division of that great
town into sixteen separate commun-
tiles or cantonments-an average Of
one for each three states-and spread

When We Are in Glory,

(5) We would see Jesus in glory.
This is the consummated desire of ev-

of the word of God which says: "They
shall see his face and his name shall
be in their foreheads." Indeed the end
of Christ's microscopy prayer for his
disciples was, Father, l will that they
also whom thou hast given me, be with
me where am, that they may behold
my glory which thou hast given me-"

too late to acquaint themselves with
him and be at peace.

SPECIAL WAR MEDAL ISSUED
Silver and Bronze Piece Commence
rates Entrance of the United
States Into the War.

A medal to commemorate the en-
trance of the United States into the
war and it's European ALLIANCES for the
preservation of democracy has been is
sued by the American Numismatic So
ciety 1t was designed by Eli Harvey,
the sculptor, and depicts the white
headed eagle of North America, popu'
larly called the bald eagle, perched
on q crag with wings outstretched and
head thrown back, in the attitude OF
readiness for instant attack upon its
foe. The only inscription is the date,
april 6, 1917" the day that President
Wilson proclaimed the existence OF a
state of war; The issue was limited to
500 copies 5O,in silver and the others
in bronze. All have been subscribed
for and it was stipulated that a mem
Der could take ofly one medal.
In selecting the design. the commit
tee says;i it was thought that the bald
eagle shown naturally was more .ex-
pressive of the spirit Of the country
than the heraldic eagle usually de-
picted on the. United States coinage.
Congress on June. 20, 1882, adopted the
bald eagle as the emblem for the arms
and great seal of the nation The seal
has always shown the eagle~treated in
a, semiheraldic, manner with the shield
on the breast. :, In. the. coinage designs
there has been a greater variety. The
first coinage showed an eagle with out
stretched wings, very simply executed.
A few years later conventional eagle
hampered<by shield was substituted.

As to the Farmers.

The number of farmers who will pay
income taxes has not been estimated
by the government officials, but it is
certain they will form large percen-
tage of the 100000 persons assessed
who never before have paid an income
tax. The average farmer does not
keep books but If he avails himself of
the services of government experts
who will be sent to aid him, it will not
be difficult for him to ascertain the
amount of his net income.

ing expense. Produce raised on the
farm and traded for groceries, wearing

mysterious utteranceS OF HIS WAoie
ministry. We have not time nor space
to dwell on these, important and SOL
emn as they are, but feel led to turn
attention to another thought. Instead
of considering the effect of this in
quiry upon Jesus, let us consider Its
source in the aspiration Of those
Greeks as the same aspiration arises
In our own hearts.
When Our Souls Are Burdened.
(D We would see Jesus when our
souls are burdened with sense Of
guilt. What other name can bring US
peace, and what other presence can In
spire hope, "for he hath made him to
be sin for u.s. Who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteous
ness Of God In him." 1t is not a teach
er, nor an example, nor ruler that
we need so much as a Savior and Re-
deemer, On fntercessor and daysman,
and that is what Jesus is for every
one of us who puts his trust In him.
He can remove our disability before
God and release us from our fears and
reconcile us to him.
(2) We would see Jesus when we
are engaged in his holy worship. An
other draws an impressive picture Of
the blind, the halt, the weary that
roamed the streets of Jerusalem where
Jesus stood comparatively unknown,
and he contrasts their unhappy and
destitute condition with its magnif-
cence, it's boosted Righteousness and
outward observances Of devotion. And
he employs this contrast to illustrate
the worthlessness Of the hottest of re-
Hgions without Christ. For example,
day school, the family altar, the holy
sacraments If Jesus be not in them
every one? jealousy therefore should
we watch against the spirit of formal
ism and ceremonialism that creeps into
both our private and public worship.
Jesus must be there or these things
become a hollow mockery.
(3) We would see Jesus in the de-
tails of our daily life as the Lord Of
our affections, purposes and pleasures.
What are the charms of friendship un-
less sanctified by the thought of him?
Our prosperity becomes curse with
out him, and in our sorrow and af-
Fiction he is the one who alone can
comfort us in all our tribulation. Life
without him is the river bed without
its stream and the day without the
sun.
When In the Valley of the Shadow.
az We would see Jesus in death.
That is sad story which Severn tells
of the last moments of the poet, Keats.
Shelley and Hunt had deprived him Of
his belief in Christianity which he
wanted in the end, and he endeavored
to fight back to it, saying If Severn
would get him Il Jeremy Taylor he
thought he could believe. But a copy
of Jeremy Taylor was not to be found
in Rome. Another time having been
betrayed into much Impotence by bod
lily and mental anguish, he cried with
an oath" 40, Severn, man ought to
have some superstition that he may die
decentlyr'
There is marked contrast between
this pitiable wall and the triumphant
PAGAN of an aged saint of my &C.
quaintance, who falling accidentally
upon the floor one day and supposing
that her time had come to be gathered
into the eternal storehouse, broke
forth III the happy refrain,
Hallelujah! TITS done, I believe on the
