There are multiplying Bigns
that "the tide has turned," as
President Farjell of the- Steel
Trust declared last week, and
. that a ,raarked improvement in
r the general business situation is
to be seen dy by day. ; ,
The Steel Trust reports an in
crease ol 411,923 tons in unfiled
orders in January, and the num
ber of men employed by it has
been increased 2a per cent, in
that period. The first - ofv the
month' the Carnegie Steel Works
resumed full operation, giving
employment to between. 8,000
- and 9,000 men, and the American
Steel and VV ire Company at Pitts
burgh lias taken on '2,5T)0 more
men and is running full time on'
- new orders. The. II; C. Trick Coke
Company has fired 2,500 newov-
ens within a few days.
Frorii Chicago it is reported
that within the last" 'thirty' days
orders have been placed for$30,
000,000 worth of freight and
passenger cars, locomotives and
, railroad materials, not including
orders, since Jan 1st for foreign
governments. 'Ah a single in
stance, the Pennsylvania Rail
' road has orife're i 15,001) cars,
costing $12,000,000. Russia a
lone is repor&trto have' placed
orders amou'riting to $12,000,
000 with a Seattle car. concern.
Shipping men, who cannot
meet the demand for vessels 5 for
the export trade, report an un
precedented boom in the ship
building yards -oULtllQ .Atlantic
coast. Every "plant" is said to be
swamped with orders for new
vessels, although over 125 ves
sels have come under the Ameri
can flag since the pa-wag' of the
new registry act last August: At
Newport News, at Cramp's ship

" We believe that the time,-has
now arrived when representa
tives of the whole family of
churches, led. by theJHoly Spirit,
may be wil'ing to come toget lier
for Ihe consideration "of ijhes
tions of Faith' and Order. We
believe further, that all dhristian
communions are in accord with
us in our desire"to lay aside self
will and to put on the mind
which ' is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We would heed this calHrf the
spirit of God in all lowliness, and
with singleness of purpose. We'
would place 'ourselves by the side
of bur fellow-christians, looking
not only on our own things, but
also on things of others, con vin
ced that our one hope of mutual
understanding is in taking per
sonal counsel together in the
spirit of love and forbearance.' It
is our conviction that such a
conference for the purpose of
study and discussion, without
power to legislate or to adopt
resolutions, is the next step to
wards unity. . ' , '
"WIt'i giief for our aloofness
in the past, and for other faults
of pride and self-sufficiency,
which ratoybe fo? schism; withloy
alty to the truth as we see it,
and with respect for the convic
tion ? of those who. differ frpm us;-
holding the belief that the begin
nings of unity are to be found in
the clear statement and full con
sideration of those" things in
which we are one, we respectful
ly submit the following resolu
tion: . . V '
"Whereas There is today am
ong all christian people a?:gr.ow
iug desire for the fulfillment of
our Lord's prayer that all his
discip.lestmav-be one; that the
world may. belfeve that God has
sent Him:
VllesolvedyThat a; joint com-.
mission by appointed tobnnga
bout a conference for the con
sideration of questions touching
Faith and Order, and that all
Christian Communions through
out the world which confess our
Lord Jesus Christ as Qod'irn d
Savior be asked to unite with us
in arranging for and 'conducting
such a Conference."
The above is an extract from a
report presented at the General
Convention of 1910 of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church, held in
I Mucin -at i, Ohio. The report was
accepted joyiuny Dy the conven
tion, and the resolution contain
ed therein was adopted unani

. Ib Memoriae
Mrs. J. W. Stevens, the subject
of this sketch, was born July 8,
877 and departed this life
Jan. 24, 1915. She was a daugh
ter of the late Calvin Ragan, of
Meat Camp. She leaves a hus
band, triplett babes, a little boy,
two sisters and a host of friends
to mourn her departure.
She professd faith in Christ and
joined the Baptist church at
Meat Camp and liwd a devoted,
christian life until death. She al
ways had a kind word for every
one, and her heart went out
in sympathy to those in sorrow
or distress.
Dear Mother and loved one,
you will greet her no more in
this world, but be cheered by the
assurance that, if faithful to the
end, you will greet her in a fai rer
clime wheie sickness and death
never enters.
Her remains were laid to rest
near her home in Carter county,
Tenn. May the great Comforter
sustain the bereaved ones.

' ' Tks Eroader View. .
The war in Europe ha9 proba
cy effected the United States less
than any of the other neutrul
powers of the world, yet all fair-
minded people must admit that
the country in general has been
more a-less depressed, "in some?
localities rather seriously, by .
this the greatest struggle in tho:
history of the world: '
e regret to see Republican ;
newspapers, from purely, politi
cal, motives, continually harping
on conditions, and charging up
everything Jo the Democratic ad
ministration. The editors of
th"se partisan papers have too
much intelligence to believe their
own misleading statements and
unpatriotic arguments, and they
reflect upon the intelligence of
their constituency in keeping- up
a perpetual agitation. It is re
fit'shing. however to note that
that the larger jiewspapers, re
gardless, of party affiliation, are
more liberal in their views ' and
are patriotic enough to to work
for the upbuilding and better
ment of the country at large in
stead of adding to a period of
depression brought about by
conditions' entirely beyond the
control of our government.. Ti.is
from the Milwaukee Journal, Re
publican, is sensible and timely.
Some of the Tories who have
been scolding President Wilson
for not keeping the American
dinner pail full should be greatly
enlightened by read'flg a little
industrial history now beintr
made in Canada. It would re
veal, for instance, that the Grand
Trunk Railroad purposes to re
duce wages of 14-,000jemployees.
It might be added that tiie ear
nings of the Canadian Pacific
have fallen .off many millions
since the 'outbreak of the" war.
Canadian cities have hosts of un
employed men in spite of the in
dustries that have been stimuli!?
ted by the demand for war ma
terials. v
This in Canada, the Statfe where
the corporations are so 3'fairly
treated," where railroad and
trivst commissions are dot tread
ing oil the heels of the beneficent
rulers of Big Business. With all
these wholesome Canadian laws,
carefully designed to promoteand
encourage expansion of trade,
Canada still has a depression.
Why not blame Mr. Wilson for
the depression in Canada as well
as. that in the United States?
Since any Democratic Executive
must bear the brunt of crop' fail
ures and panics both before and
after hisadministrntion, why not
unload the depression in Canada
upon his shoulders as well? Why
such deference to a high office and
an overworked IVesideut? Le
