The Wonders Of America
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.

A LIBRARY for congress was an IN
"A questioned necessity. Consequent
ly, the congressional library was found
ed about the same time the government
was first established, or in 1900. II
was entirely destroyed by fire In the
war of 1912 and also suffered serious
ly from fire at later date. So, con-
gress authorized the construction OF
a building that could not be burned.
Result, the present structure, COM
pleted In 1897, said to be the most
perfectly adapted for the convenient
use and storage Of books Of any large
library in the world, likewise the larg-
est, costliest and safest.
1t consists Of three stories, a base
ment and a dome, covers almost three
and one-half acres and has a total
floor space Of about eight acres. You
can better grasp the magnitude Of
this building. when l tell you that II
contains 100000 brick, to say moth
ing of the other materials, and has
90, 200 shelves with a total length of
ABOUT forty miles.
1t now houses considerably more
than one million books and pamph-
lets, which is the largest single collec-
ton on the western hemisphere. Its
estimated total capacity is about l.
e00s0 publications. It's more than
1000 windows render II the best light
ed library in the world.
The colorings Of the reading room
are soft, quiet, rich and warm, being
conducive TO the greatest comfort.
The walls carry many helpful and In
spring inscriptions. It's conspicuous
beauty or charm, however. is In the
wonderful mural decorative scheme Il
being, unquestionably, the most gor-
geously decorated public building in
America.

The plant Arnold had selected for
his initial training was located at a
distance in section where he was not

settled down where the mills were To-
Gated and was apportloned 10 Il task as
helper Of forge man.
There was a transfer TO the casting
room n week later and then 10 the
shipping department. All this was the
kind Of education Arnold desired. to
know just how things were done. and
evenings he would recall the various
processes he had studied and figure
out estimates Of weight, tensile power,
chemical attributes and waste and
cost.
One evening Arnold had taken a
stroll beyond tn InnII;ss ~ the rown
and was returning along a lonely road
when he came upon a stalled automO-
bile containing two ladies'. He recog-
nized at once that they were In
trouble and went over 10 the machine
and suggested that he might be Of
some assistance. He soon restored the
auto to working condition and the ell
der, fearSOme and timid, asked him TO
drive them into the town. When he
surrendered control Of the wheel and
alighted, the spot light crossed his
face. He fancied that he caught the
echo Of sharp ejaculation on the part
OF the young lady. Then a passing ma
chine flooded her own face with the
radiance Of its headlight and he knew
her at Once-the original Of the photo
graph Pierce Arden had shown-the
sister, Genevieve.
Several times during n month he
passed her in the automobile. She al
ways smiled and bowed and one after
noon halted the car at the curb. She
was consciously flushed AID embar-
raised as Arnold approached.
"My mother Is anxious to see you.
Mr.. Sherman" she said.
"You-yOu know my name" ex-
claimed Arnold, coloring up.
"My brothers friend-Oh, yesw re-
piled Miss Arden. He sent us your
photograph.
There were mutual explanations and
that was the beginning of n perfect
understanding. A month later John
MarChmOnt sent word for his nephew
to prepare TO take charge OF large
department Of his plant. Then young
Arden came home and Arnold Sherman
was indeed greeted with open arms
and an open heart on the part of Gen
evieve when he confessed his love for
her.

Phone Algiers 1873.

Last Sunday was a day filled with
good services. The choir had some
beautiful specials. Mrs. T. p. Bel
rendered a violin solo at the night
service. At the morning service the
Pastors text was Judges 7:21, And
they stood every man in his place
round about the camp" Emphasis
was laid upon cooperation in church
work and the effectiveness of en-
deayorers made in unison. Team
work was found on every hand. where
men in groups were achieving results.
The business world. the political
world and the athletic world were
all doing team work The church
is not borrowing from them but we
find IT in the source of light. the
Bible. The case of Gideon's band
shows how nightly God can use
men, who place themselves in His
hands to be used as He will and who
will stand every man at his post for
God. The Savior of men sent men
OuI Oh "OIlu programme ana gave
to them great work and in order to
do this men must ever move forward
like mighty army.
The early disciples were told to
tarry at Jerusalem until they re-
ceived power. Then they were to
go. After all, it was the old plan
that God could fill men and use them
If they only allowed it. Men
should today be men of prayer and
men of earnest action and like the
men of Gideon, And they stood
every man in his place round the
camp"
The Epworth League service was
led by Miss Pearl Collette. During
the service Miss Roberta Hafkesbring
