PASTORS CHALLENGED
TO END HYPOCRISY
Converted Ministry Urged as Way
by Rev. C. H. Watson Before
Adventist Assembly.

A plea for converted ministry" as a
means of doing away with religious
hypocrisy was made by Rev. C. H
Watson, president of the Worlds Gen.
eral Conference of Seventh-Day Adven-
lists, at the organizations convention
in Takoma Park yesterday.
1--WE must have converted ministry
and then we shall see the light of God
and His power aiding all our efforts, y
Rev. DR.. Watson said. THE efficiency
and power attending truly converted
ministers would make the hypocrites in
Zion tremble and sinners afraid"
The speaker said there was "thou-
sands of members of the church who
are formal and superficial and satisfied
while thousands of others are longing
to be led into better things" To help
people get ready to meet Christ, the
leaders in religious teachings should
get themselves ready" he asserted,
adding that "the standard of truth is
trailing in the dust"
In his annual report, H. E. Rogers
statistical secretary for the conference
said that during 1890 a total of So
144, ,449.50 had been raised for evangelis-
tic purpose in North America alone. He
reported a membership increase OF
2,729.
1t was announced by Secretary M. E
Kern that eight cities have sent in
invitations for the next Fall council of
the world leaders Of the church, which
will be held in october. These include
Louisville, Buffalo, Toronto, Omaha,
Rochester, Davenport, Iowa; Oklahoma
City and Wichita, Kans. The choice
for the Fall convention will be made at
the present convention, which will con-
t!nue until May z.

more than Is years provided funds for
the rehabilitation of their unfortunate
co-religionists in foreign lands will,
feel sure, continue to work in this
noble purpose and will contribute again
SO that the program affording op-
portunities of self help and relief for
these people on the other side may be
carried on"
Reorganization of drive forces is un-
der way here and a number of new
workers are being marshalled to carry
on the canvass for funds. 1t was an

 SITTING QN FORTUNE

The stories of the Old bonanza and of the discoveries and of the early days of the Comstcok Lead- vile, Cripple Creek and more re- gently, of the numerous mining camps of Alaska, of T'onopah and off Goldfield in Nevada read like so many fairy tales, says Etienne Better, mining engineer, in the Denver Mining Record. It is the story of q sudden and often fabulous fortune following without transition years of hard work, of hardships, of hopes blasted again and again until the great single day Of fabulous reward, it IS the story Of thousands and hundreds off thousands of dollars made in a few weeks, I was almost going to say made over night.
 The stories Of the discoveries of some of the richest and biggest
 mines, the tales of some wonder full lost mines would fill volume. Among the most typical and most trustworthy accounts of such dis- coyeries is that of one of the chief producers Of Leadville, told by MT. Enmons in his monograph of the great silver camp U. S- Geol. Surv, Hon. KID, in which he says in speaking of one of the hills in back of the new camp: "At this point there is no outcrop, the whole surface of the hill being covered to an average depth of 100 feet by terraital material Ira dition has 1t that two proSpectors were grubstaked or fitted out with a supply of provisions by Tabor (the mining king of Leadville), half of all they discovered belong ed to him. Among the provisions was a jug of Whiskey, which proved so strong a temptation to the pro- sptctors that they stopped to dis .cuss its contents before they had gone a mile from town. When the whiskey had disappeared, though its influence might probably have .teen still felt. they concluded that tha spot on which they had pre- maturely camped was a good one to sink a prospecting hole as any other At z depth of 25 to 3O feet their Shaft struck the famous ara body 0f the Little Pittsburgh mine tho only point Qn the Wh0le area of the hill where rock in place comes so near the surface Dis- coveries rapidly multiplied in this region; immense amounts of ore were taken out and the claims changed hands at prices which ad- vanced with marvellous rapidity inn to the millions A half interest in one claim was sold one morn ing for $50,00O, after being trans ferred thru several hands, it is said to have been purchased by one of the original holders for $255, 900 on the following morning.

A POSSIBLE REACTION FROM
 WALKER FIGHT.

The attacks on Mayor Walker based on the Tact that corrupt spots have been discovered ln the Tammany government of the metropolis, may react to the consternaon of those of the critics who are attacking solely for political reasons and 10 the satisfaction of those who opposing his admin istraton in the interest of public good Already the demand that Alfred E. Smith be drafted for the Mayoralty is becoming city wide, and t springs from those of all occupations and political affiia- tions Republicans and Socialists as well as Demo- crats are insisting that the sure road to good government in New York City would be through the success of the efforts to the services of the great former Governor as helmsman n Gotham One of Americas foremost journalists declares that the nomination and election of Gov. Smith Mayor would immediately put "anti-Tammany agitation" out of the way a political issue and insure Gov. Roosevelt, if he should be his partys nominee for President, more than a million majority in the Empire State There would be who would dare suggest official sanction of corruption if Al Smith were Mayor and all know that, if he were Mayor, organized grafters, if there are such in the big city would scamper like varmints before a prairie fire.

Well-Directed Discussion.
(New York Times)

Chairman Raskob asked for serious study of the prohibition question and the open expression of opinion about it. This is good work It has all ready started in consequence of his appeal but, fortunately most of the discussion thus far has been wide of the main issue. It has too much con- cerned MT Raskob himself his strange conception of the functions of the chairman of the National Committee his apparent desire to introduce methods of high-power salesmanship into politics and the solemn conviction under which he seems to labor that if the times out of joint he himself is the fated Hamlet born to set everything right. Such effects of his long letter to the National Commit tee were to have been expected. But it may be hoped that they will soon fade away and that by methods and through beyond his political ken, the Democratic party-let us also say the Republican partymay prepare to think clear and speak straight about prohibition in the Presidential campaign of 1892.
 Whatever politicians may desire, whatever the Anti-Saloon League may deprecate, the majority of the American people unquestonably regard pro- hibition as an rrepressible political issue They do not need to be urged to talk about it. It is grow ingly the subject of conversation wherever men or women do congregate. There is no universal agree ment as to what should be done, but overwhelm- ing belief that something must be done. Just we are informed that the chief prohibition agent is about to make supreme effort to enforce the Volsead Act He has more money and more of- fcias this disposal than ever before-though the amount of his appropriation and the number of his subordinates fall far short of what have been asserted to be necessary if the prohibition law is no longer to be openly flouted. But he admits that if his final endeavor in 1881 fails then prohibition itself must be considered to have failed That yer dict was already anticipated and declared by the Wckersham Commission. There is every probability that time will only confirm it.
 Thus every year the pressure becomes greater from the American people to devise better way to bring about temperance consistent with individual rights. Here are subjects enough for discussion; and the impetus already given to the informal debate, the sort of unofficial referendum now going on all over the country, is certain be intensified until the time comes for choosing delegates to the national convention next year and for the leaders of both parties to make up their minds that they can no longer halt between two opinions

THE SEASON OF OUTDOOR SPORTS
 HERE AGAIN.

The columns of the newspapers testify to the coming of another spring and the continuation of popular interest in outdoor sports Baseball news is taking first place from the knights of the squared circle In a very short time the race horses will be transferred from Southern tracks to those of the North Accompanying them in the northward march will be the tennis and golf and other pro- fessional sportsmen.
 One might think from the reports that Americans take their exercises vicarously: that they huddle in hordes and cheer the professionals who do all the work. But that is only seeming With the spring vacant town lots become baseball parks where thousands of boys contest for supremacy Other thousands of boys, and men, pitch horseshoes in barnyards and wherever they might find the shoes and room in which to operate Tennis grounds are being whipped into shape throughout the country, and people from all walks of life are trouping to the links The schools and colleges and nthetic clubs are drilling their crews and hines and track teams for the spring battles. There are many amateur athletes for every professional athlete
 In addition to the thousands of athletes amateur and professional, the streams are being whipped by other thousands of outdoor sportsmen and yachts ana other crafts automobiles and airplanes are carrying other thousands to open air recreation
 Professional sport has deserved place of honor but it cannot replace the genuine thrill and satis faction of playing game for oneself Fortunately it is not replacing it.
