ton Of the church of the future.
For twenty-eight years Mr.. Booth
gave faithful and undivided service to
his church in Minnesota. In 1900 his
oldest son, Laurence, was ordained to
the ministry and was stationed at
San Jacinto, California, where a year
later his father followed him, to help
him with the Church duties which
were becoming too heavy for his fail.
ing health. Following the death Of
this brilliant, exceptionally gifted son,
Mr.. Booth resigned his passionate in
Willmar and took up the work in San
Jacinto. Later he was rector OF the
church in Cloverdale, California, and
only gave up his life work when fail
ing eyesight compelled him to do So.
The last three years were spent with
his daughter, Gertrude, in Long
Beach.
To many, blindness is crushing
sorrow; not so to Mr.. Booth. The
culture of lifelong habit of study
and thought, and the richer culture
of a sweet, contented, loving spirit,
which remembered the good and for

failingly in the Master whom he serv-
ed, gave him resources within him.
self which, together with the devotion
of his children, made the close of
his life serene and happy far beyond
that of most men.
It is difficult with mere words to
pay just and fitting tribute to such a
life. Simple, unostentatious, forget
full of self, Mr.. Booths influence is not
to be measured in material terms. To
those whose privilege it was to be
near him during the last years of his
life, to watch his patient, serene &C.
ceptance of increasing infirmity, to
listen to his rich fund of stories of
pioneer service, always lighted with
gentle humor, to realize that he held
in loving memory all of his people
among whom he had labored, the
life of Daniel T. Booth is an inspira.
ton and a benediction.

The Lumber Business.

IN VIEW Of the attacks recently made the lumber
business because Of alleged excessive prices charged for
lumber at time when people being encouraged to
building, statistical statement issued by the
Southern Pine association for the month Of July is of
interest
1t shows that lumber is being sent out and used
than is being cuts in other words that shipments from
the mills considerably greater than production The
statement shows that this is not temporary condition.
but that has existed in 1917 and 1918 well the
first half Of 1919.
For seven months in 1919 shipments were 1o45 percent
of production; for the period IN 1913 shipments
076S percent Of production and for the period
in 1917, shipments o5s percent Of production This
that since 1917 there has been little variation in
production and shipment Of lumber with the latter coll
ssteny greater than the former for the periods named
Naturally there must be months of slack shipments.
Otherwise It would be impossible to accumulate those
stocks into which the lumbermen are constantly
dipping IN the months Of overdemand However another
table of figures covering $50 mills shows that the reserve
supply in 1919 has been considerably less than in 1918
If the tabuatons Of the association accurate, the
excess Of shipments production would explain the
steady rise in the price Of lumber, at least in part
