by Rev. O. M. Staarna.
It ia beautiful to see Paul and Bar
nabas aud Silas and others teaching
and preaching (be word of the Lord at
Antloch after their return from Jeru
salem. Personally lam heartily grate
ful to Ood that lie ever led me to give
myself wholly to the study snd ex
poslUon of Ills word and that He has
been graciously pleased to use mo to
help many to know Iltm better. This
morning (May 25, 1016) among other
mall waa a letter wblcb said: "Many,
many years ago [lt muat be twenty-five
at least] I learned to love my Bible
through your teaching, and now I am
teaching large classes each week. I
have a claw of 103 ladles aud am

"I wtU extol Tbeo my Ood, 0 King,

•vert*" (Ps. cxlv, 1). It Is not com
forting to read of the contention over
John Mark which led to the separation
of such good friend* aa Uamabaa and
Paul, but the Lord overruled It for
good by aendlng forth four mlsslon
arles Instead of two, Barnabas and
Mark aalllng to Cyprus, whllo Paul
and Sllaa went through Syria and Clll
eta (xr, 86-41).
The first missionary tour ended at .
Lystra and. Derbe, whence Paul end
Barnabaa retraced their steps l>y the
way they bad come, strengthening the
- salnta and aasuring them that tribula
tion waa the way to the kingdom
(liv, 21-20). Now we And Paul again
at Lyatra and Derbe and arc Intro
doced to Timothy, of whom Paul sjmke
aa "my own sou In the faltb" and of
Whom he wrote saying, "I have no
man so dear unto me" (1 Tim. t 2;
Phil. U, 20; margin). He also speaks
of hla mother, Eunice, and bis grand
mother, JjoU, and of their unfeigned
faith, which bad been granted to Tim
othy likewise (II Tim. I, C). Being well
reported of by tbo brethren thst were
at Lyatra and Iconlum, Paul took him
aUmg with him on thla Journey, and
we find him associated with Paul In
hla letters to several of the churches,
while In eech of the letters to the
Tbsessionlans the greeting Is from
Psul and Hllaa and Timothy.
It will certainly be Interesting If
Timothy shall tell ns some dsy In the
kingdom that be ssw Pant stoned,
dragged out of the city as a dead man,
return to life and return to the city,
and that with the teaching at home led
him to receive the Lord Jesus; wheth

A 8 a result of the world war eveL
f \ America must reckon with a
new conception of state and
with it expect a new type of public
education.
The German state takes full con
trol ovor this system of education.
It trains the teachers, inducts them
into office, fixes their salaries, pen
sions them in old sge, prescribes ths
curriculum*, defines methods of in
struction and by a system of exami
nation at once judges the output
and CONTROLS THE EN

What we need in America ia a
system of educatiohal administra
tion that shall eliminste the politi
cian and foster professional spirit

We need sch'iol snd teaching

ROADS APPEALING
TO THE FARMERS
I ON WAGE RAISE
If Ruuafc An firiitri Tit Fanurs

The Iscrease.
', Washington, D. C. —Though farm
i ers usually feel little Interest in
.' railway labor disputes and are dis
posed to think thst sach troubles are
remote from tbem and cannot touch
r them directly. In the pending ques
tion between the Brotherhoods of
' freight trainmen and the railways of
I I the country tbe railways evidently
are making special effort to inform
I tbe farmers on the points inVolvsd
I' and to enlist thejlr attention.
I It Is argued by the railroad man-
I agers that tbe final disposition of the
i' dispute will be made by public senti
ment They reason that the farmer,
when It comes to a final "show
down," really controls not only tbe
political power but the sentiment of
| nearly all the states. Therefore, they
i are trying to appeal to his horse
i sense. They are seeding out a good
' deal of literature directed especially
to the farmers—probably the first
time such a course has been taken
In any great labor struggle. They
say they are convinced ot the gene
ral public's confidence In the horse
sense, the insight snd the fairness of
the American farmer, and that, there
fore, bis Influence must be powerful.
High Wages Now Psld
They are dwelling especially on the
argument that the freight trainmen
already are the highest paid laborers
In the world. They submit figures to
show that in many instances freight
train employees earn from 176.00 a
month for tbe trainmen, or "brake
man" as they used to be called, to
9260.00 a month for engineers, work
lntg from 22 to 26 days a month.
They are asking farmers to Inquire
into the facts and convince them
sslves that most of the talk ot ex
cessive hours of lsbor on rsllways is
empty and contradicted by tbe facts.
More than sixteen hours ot continu
ous work In railway service is for
bidden by law. The instances of
men kept on duty so long ss slxeen
hours sre a very small fractional per
centage of the total employment;
tbey become less every year, and al
most Invariably are due to accident
or softie unusual weather conditions.
The managers of the railway com
panies point out that the farmer him
self accustomed to from twelve to
fourteen hours a day of steady work
rarely earna In a year aa much cash
money as a trainman on duty from
ten to twelve houre, and never con
tinuously at work, can sarn, resting
from labor from one-fourth to one
third of his time. In the south It Is
a familiar maxim that "It takes thir
teen months to make a cotton crop."
Tbe man wbo raises ten bales of cot
ton gets for it from 1460.00 to $600.00,
and from this must pay his fertiliser
bills snd labor. The trainmen are said
to average (800.00 a year, thla being
the estimate ot the Brotherhood lead
en themselves, and tbe engineers
draw from $1,600.00 to $2,600.00 a
year, the conductors and firemen
earning wages between those ot the
trainmen and engineers.
Parrnsr Vitally Intsrssted
Aside from tbe question of justice.
It is pointed out that the farmer's i
direct Interest In the matter is that
his welfare demands freight trsfflc
adequate to the needa of the country,
and that whatever Injures the rail
roads or hampers their operation or
preventa their development Is a direct
Injury to him. If tbe trouble should
develop a general strike of the freight '
train employees, resulting In a tie- j
up of traffic, the farmer would be un
able to ship out what he raises or i
to get In what be wants. He will be
asked to oonsldsr whether tbe rail
roads should be crippled by being '
compelled to pay 26 per cent increase
In wages to men already receiving
far more than tbe average prosper
mia farmer, with resulting Injury to
the farmer himself—and it tbe rail
roads are compelled to grant the In
crease and have to raiae their freight
rates, tbe fanner will have to pay a
big part of the Increase.
Ths present agitation Is nominally
for the substitution ot an elgbt-bour
workday in place of the present ten
hour ecbedule, but In reality It Is s
movs for an Increase of wages.—

By CHARLES A. TOWNE, Former Congressman » J;
THE reported impending departure of General Iturbide of Mexico on a
confidential mission to Japan once more calls attention to a situa
tion against which, in my opinion, it is most fatuous unpatriotism
on the part of Americans not to make instant and adequate preparation.
This alleged mission of Iturbide may or may not Jjo a fact, the impor
tant tiling is that it easily might be a fact and that the conditions make
wholly reasonable and probablo exactly such a mission either now or at
any future moment when the INTERNATIONAL ATMOSPHERE IS
FAVORABLE FOR THE NEXT MOVE OF JAPAN IN HER
PERFECTLY CLEAR PURPOSE TO CONTROL THE PACIFIC.
Ever since my return from the orient a few years ago I have been
saying that the United States must choose and speedily choose among the
following courses:
First.—Rack outfif the far cast, not only giying up the islands we
hold there, but alao all pretense of an equal voice in the settlement of the
momentous question of China and in the tremendous development of
transpacific commerce.
Second. —Fight Japan.
THIRD, BUILD AND MAINTAIN ON THE PACIFIC SO. BIG A NAVY
AS TO MAKE IT UNNECESSARY TO FIGHT.
While the unregenerate world ii slowly sloughing its shell of brutish
human nature, Columbia can contemplate her mission to mankind with
tony serenity and confidence only from behind a complete system of coast
defenses and a triple cordon of the greatest naval units on the seas.

Truth and Tact Belong Together In the
Strongest and Finest Character
By LYMAN P. POWELL, Pr«ident of Hobsrt College
o
THE most we can soy of right character is that those "who have it do
what is regarded as the proper thing wherever they may be. The
best men have characters most sensitive. Tho worse, we all agree,
aro hard. * •-£'
THE REAL PROBLEM FOR US, WHO HAVE TO LIV« TOGETHER IN
SOCIETY, IS TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER LOVE OF TRUTH AND TO
PRACTICE TACT IN ITS EXPRESSION.
No matter what character may signify, it must hunger for the truth.
It must have tho straightforwardness and directness which indicate the
presence of the truth. It must have a highly visualized imagination to
seek for truth still undiscovered. It must hold what it thinks to be the
truth, no matter how the world around may differ.
* * «
Many people of the noblest character confuse this truth tendency
. with the erassness which goes muddling through, wounding feeling*
AND NEVER MORE CERTAIN TO FIND TRUTH THAN THOSE
WE CALL MORE TACTFUL.
If you aire more for the truth than for yourself you will follow ways
that lead (%Ahc acceptance of the truth. There is a kind of selfishness
in initiating on acceptance of the truth because you say it truth.
There is always danger, even among the best men, that conceit may get
confused with truth. People cannot long be fooled.' They will shun the
man who tears tact away from its connection with the truth. Truth and
tact belong together in the strongest and the finest character.

CRISIS FOR ROADS

Washington, D. C.—"The railways
of the southeast are facing a critical
situation in the proposed demands of
the engineers', fliremen's, conductors'
and trainmen's Brotherhoods which r
have joined In -a nation-wide effort to
force the railways of the country to j
grant , further wage concessions,
which would add millions of dollars
to the payrolls of the railways with
out enabling them to earn a cent
more than under present conditions
or to In any way give better service
to the public," declares a statement
given out by the executive committee
of the southeastern railways.
"The demands of the Brotherhoods
are generally referred to as, demands
tor an eight hour day aqd time and
a half for overtime, but they are not
in reality for an eight hour day In
the sense in which that term Is com-,
monly understood,'" the statement
continues. "The employees are not
asking that they be relieved from
service at the end of eight hours, as
they realize that this Is not practi
cable In road service, and the form In
which the demands have been made
clearly shows this.
More Pay For Overtime
"Thus the language of their own
proposed demands Is that on runs of
one hundred mfles or less 'overtime
will begin at the expiration of eight
hours. This simply means that If a
freight train requires, as it usually
does, at least 10 hours to run 100
miles, the train and engine employees
shall receive their day's pay for eight
hours of work and shall receive time
and a half for the additional hours.
"There Is not a line In the pro
posals concerning road service that
In any way limits the number of
hours the employees are to work,
and their proposition resolves itself
into fixing the period at which over
time begins to accrue and after which
they shall receive time and a halt
Instead of their regular hourly rate.
"In a discussion of the proposed
demands in the official journal of the
Trainmen's organization, the follow
ing explanation of the demands Is
given by one of the vice-presidents
of that Brotheshood:
" 'There appears to be some differ
ence of opinion as to what such a
proposal involves, therefore It may be'
seasonable to say that there Is quite
a difference between an eight-hour
work-day and an eight-hour basic
work-day.
" 'The first contemplates that eight
hours shall be the maximum working
time, and as a rule where the eight
hour work-day obtains through con
tract relations between employer and
employes, Jt is the constant endeavor
to prevent working overtime except
in cases of necessity. It appears that
some of the men in the train service
are of the opinion that this Is the
proposal of the organizations. Hew
ever, this is not the case. The sec
ond, the eight-hour basie work-day
contemplates that eight hours shall
be the basis for a day's work and
ant time In excess thereof shall be
paid for as overtime, consequently
under such a provision there Is no 1
limit to the hours worked. The lat
ter system is the one proposed by
the train service Brotherhoods and
is Is accord with the action taken by
the delegates, at tbe Eleventh Bien
nial Convention of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen.'
Bame Work, More Money
"The proposals of the employees,
as In reality formulated and official
ly explained In the above citation,
simply mean that they shall be paid
more money than at present for the
same work they are now doing. The
matter, therefore, resolves itself
primarily Into a question of wages
and consequently of Increased cost.
"Applying the proposed demands
to the present conditions of work
would mean an lncrease ranging from
12 to 40 per cent in cost, as the roads
would be compelled in most cases to
continue the present hours of opera
tlons since changes to escape the
payment of overtime would cause a
higher percentage of Increase than
the figures already given.
"The railways of the southeast are
In no condition to stand any Increase
In their operating expenses, much
less such increases as would result
from granting these demands. They
already pay higher wages to train
and engine employees than are paid
In other sections of the country
where traffio is much more dense,
■and they have had no part In the
rate Increases which recently have
been granted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to railways In oth
er territories.
"Preliminary estimates show that
on some lines the Increases asked by
the employes would more than wipe
out all Income after payment of
operating expenses, fixed charges
and taxes. The railways would be
forced either to seoore Increases In
their rates or to lower their cost of
operation by curtailment of train ser
vice and reducing the outlay for main
tenance and Improvement necessary
to meet the transportation needs of
the rapidly developing southeastern
territory.
"This Is a question in which the
whole publle has a direct and vital
interest The railways of the south
east merely ask of the public that it
Inform itself of. tbe real nature of the
proposed demands, and of the ability
of the roads to meet them."

Forcing Framss.
Forcing frames will be found useful
In starting vegetables Arrly In the open
ground. Caßbuge. cauliflower. lettnee.
corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, egg--
plant and other vegetables can be plant
ed out or seed sown several weeks ear
lier when protected with frames than
when no protection is afforded. They
are also useful for starting seeds of
flowering plants early In the garden or
fbr protecting plants set out early.
A frame placed over rhubarb or hardy
plants, either- flowers or vegetables, will
hasten maturity considerably. Placed
over bulbs In tbe spring in small gar
dens, blooms of greater perfection may
be had much earlier than usual. The
heat of tbe sun Is trapped, so to speak,
during the day and held overnight, the
frame at tbe same time protecting the
plants from cold winds and the cold
night air. Small forcing frames euu be
purchased of seedsmen and florists or
ean be made. They afe really minia

lagers sat about awaiting bedtime.
A man happened to be present who
was well versed In the subject under
discussion, and .be was asked to ex
plain tbe curious phenomenon of as
eclipse. He pointed out that the moon
simply came between tbe earth and
tbe sun and blotted out from view a
part of tbe sun's surface.
"Waal," remarked an old veteran as
be unburdened his mouth of a deluge
of tobacco juice, "It sure Is a pity the
moon wasn't full, 'cause then we'd had
a total eclipse."—lndianapolis News.
