men, taken collectively, that influence
the world for good. The effect of a
sincere Christian life for good is i'm
measurable. In every community
theere are GOd-fearing men mad wo-
men whose lives are daily influencing
the people for good. 1t is these col
lective influences that saves human
ity. We are too prone to underes-
innate the example of the Cody lives
in the community. We forget that
unostentatious acts Of good find lodge
ment in unexpected places and work
upon the lives Of those we least ex-
pect.

After the meeting / pondered long
on the affair. / have uoticed for
years the unassuming work Of this man
and woman in the community; watch
ed the patient struggle that they have
made in the cause of the Master, and
naturally my mind reverted to COM
parison between them and the fame of
history's celebrities. Cesar lives in
history. but why? Bonaparte is fa-
nous, but why? Is the world wrong
in its estimates of menf With COM
paritively few exceptions history's ia

deeds of blood and violence. But in
the real Book of Fame l believe that

ricks and the Alexanders.

Following this reasoning, commu-

a Christian nation is to make Chris.
tian communities. 1t is this task that
the humble community minister has
set for himself. If it is In this task
that he is succeeding. The MOOdys
the Spurgeons, the Billy Sundays may
take cities by storm with their dra-
matte performances, but / have always
doubted that the good they did was
all that was claimed for them. The
humble minister who lives among the
people and whose life is an inspira-
tiOn for them does vastly more good
than the sensational stunts of the
Billy Sundays. Talmage could
doubtless preach a better sermon than
Bro. Allison, but the people of West
Liberty know that the daily life that
the latter lives is more eloquent ser.
mon than Talmage could preach
Living sermons are more effective than
preached ones anyway.
We shouldn't worry about the Hall
Of Fame that is established by man
There is Book of Fame that is kept
by One who knows the truth about all
things, and when the day comes when
the contents of that Book will be made
known to all / believe that leading In
that Book will be the names of the
consecrated men and women who
have devoted their lives to the spread
Of the gospel among the people, and
that first on that Book will be the
names Of the men who have sacrificed
what is commonly considered brighter
prospects in life. Leading in that
Book will be the names Of the unos-
tentatioas Christian men and women
who have helped to influence by their
example the youth of the community
to better things. And in the unfold
ing of the mighty scroll many q good
man and woman will be gladened to
know that some act of theirs or the
influence Of their lives has induced
some boy or girl to take the right
course. This is the only Hall Of
Fame worth while.

THE HALL OF FAME.

There is in Washington a building
known as the Hall of Fame, in which
is inscribed the names Of those who
have, by reason of their deeds, become
famous. The decision as to who are
famous is left to a board whose duty
it is to decide whether or not a person
is entitled to occupy a niche in this
hall Of fame. Recently there has
been quite controversy as to who
is entitled to places there.
In this Hall of Fame the name of
no living persons is entered. No
flowers are scattered in the path of
life Of the living.

met to show their appreciation Of the
worth and character of Ed. A. o.
