A careful study of the New Tes tament will reveal the fact that some of the greatest things said and done by our Lord and His Apostles belong to what may be called the byways of their minis try- ' "And it came to pass that as He went, behold- ," and then fol- ows the story of an interruption which becomes the occasion for a new display of mercy. While Paul waited for his friends at Ath ens, his .spirit was stirred as he saw the city full of idols; and then anie the memorable discourse on Mars Hill. These things were done on the way toNsomething else. There is a fruitful field of suggestion here. Grand routes ofxService have to be cast up and bravety trodden, but much can be done inHhe byways. The opportunities thatxcome to us without being sought should always be seized; they may, in the final event, turn out to be among the most decisive things of life. : London Christian.

Prejudice never reasons, but moves and sways the mind and ac tion from some instinctive or sud den or biased impulse. It has its seat in ignorance, weakness or idleness. It is a blindness of per ception and relation which leads to personal and public injury; It acts as a hindrance to truth, know-, ledge and to progress. It is a neu tralizing force that resists and modifies the most cogent argu ment, the most powerful discourses the most moving appeals and the moststirring considerations The Friend Good Resolutions. You picture" to yourself the beauty of bravery and steadfast ness. And then some little, wretch. ed disagreeable dutycomes, which is your martyrdom, the lamp for your oil, and if you do not do it your oil is spilled.-Phillips Brooks. Knowing and Doing, v . The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Power. To know is one tiling and to be able to do is another. 31 ere knowing without tiio.ability to do were an idle mockery. The Spirit of knowledge is also the Spirit of vital power. He gives Himself to us, to dwelt in us that we may live and yet our life be his, so saturating our own that when we live jt is in reality Christ liv ing in us by His Spirit. This blessed fact alone, makes the at tainment of character a possibility. Moral impotence is the chief char acteristic of the natural man, and moral power that of the Spirit filled man. The ability to do is present in flie ability to know, and knowing and doing make possible the attainment of ; the f ulness of the stature of Christ. But this Spirit, of power njt only reflects our personal being, but fills with .vitality our indi vidual doing. The elfort f )T others is fulled with this self-same powerX Tt vitalizes thought, i fans aspiration and makes a word spoken a powhvauickeniiig what soever it touchevsfor everything live3 whithersoever thes. Spirit t.f power goes. -Ep jscopa rjusy people may not all he happy, but ajlf happy '..people are busy. Idleness and happiness are opposites. It takes honesty in all things to make an honest man. Honesty 'in business, in politics, in religion, in the social circle, everywhere. Honesty -knows no variableness nor show of turning from the straight and narrow path. Happiness is the result of in ward state, not 'outward -'.circumstances. X The trouble with.a good many people is that instead, of being Christian missionaries they are Christian pmis'sionaries, exhibit ing a great .capacity for doing nothing, or for doing only easy things. Observer. Little self-denials, little honest ies, little passing 4 vrords of sym- pathy, little nameless acts of-kindness, little silent victories over favorite temptation these are the silent threads of gold which, when woven together, gleam out so j brightly in the pattern of life that : God approves. Canon Farrar. I Just as a mother would hot love a child the better for its being turned into a model of perfection by one stroke ot magic, but does love it the more deeply every time it tries to be good, so I do hope and believe our great Father does not wait for us to be good and wise to love us, but loves us, and loves to help us in the veiy thick of our struggle with sin and folly.

Senator Kittridge Also Speaks in Support of the Spooner BU, Because of Question, of Expense. 'X.. Wilshington, " June 1G. Sen atori Cullom and Kittridge cham pioned the Panama route in dis cussing the Isthmian canal bill in thd senate today. Cullom declar ed mat .. s.i.L.vi he had favored th Nicaragua route, but was now convinced, that the Panama route wis -the most feasable and the shortest one. Kittridge asserted that the Nicaraguan route would cost an indefinite number of mill ions more than the Panama. The Iwuse bill, he declared, would have no other effect than to delay the canal. He pointed out that -the cost of the ; Nicaraguan canal could not be toIdwliile the cost of the Panama canal was known. --i. long .controversy raiioweu. a notion by Senator Proctortiiat he Senate1 recede from one of th intendments of the army apju-o- 1 1 . i priatiou l)i.l, towards the close f the session and Troctor finally withdrew it.

It also passed a number of bills under .supsension of the rules, none of which was important. Washington, June 1(. --President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Postmaster General Payne this morning took ' breakfast with Senator Hanna at the latter's residence on Lafayette Square. During the meal and in a dis cussion" following it the- Cuban reciprocity question was; talked over, but the discussion was along general lines. The manner in which the president's message re affirming his attitude on that sub- Meet was received, was also refer- reu to. it was tne general under standing that the president had pressed thuissue as far as it is possible for liiuv to do so. Other subjects were talkeoTover in a gen eral way. Those present refused fto talk about the meeting ave to discount its importance. They claimed that the breakfast wasl devoid of any political significance and in corroboration of this state ment said the ladies of the party were present ' throughout the breakfast. GREATEST OF MISTAKES To Lower the Tariff for the Benefit of Workingmen. To reduce the tariff wall for the benefit of American workingmen would be the greatest mistake ever made in "this or any other country. Under freetrade or taritf for revenue only according to the Wilson-Gorman law, but few miners were employed in the coal mines of Washington. Since the imposition of a duty of forty cents a ton on foreign coal the number of men employed in the Washing- ton mines has been more than doubled, and- wages have been largely increased. The same con ditions obtain in the lumber in dustries of the coast, more than double the men being employed at larger wages now than under the Wilson law. It is not necessary to pull down the tariff wall for the benefit of American workingmen and to pro tect them from- the trusts. Ad mitting for the sake of argument that the country is honey-combed with trusts,, it must also be ad mitted that never in our history were there so many workingmen' employed in this country as now, and the wages are higher than ever before. It is true that the cost of living is higher than in former years, but it is equally true that wages have advanced in every line of industry. In 'many cases these advances in wages have been made voluntarily by the employers, without request from their em ployees. Within the last week the twenty thousand employees of j the Continental Tobacco Company which is called a trust have been notified that they - would be given an advance of teX per cent, in their wages, owing to the in creased cost ofliving. This ; in, crease of wagea-will amount; to a million; and a half dollars a yea: for the, workingmen, and a co se quent reduction of clivide.Ru.s to the stockholders. Many oilier" corporations have made similar voluntaryjadranoes. It' the tarifi" wall werd pulled down .and the products of the old world allowed to come in free of diitv, irs'eal of advances in wages there would be stagnation and closing clown of manufacturing establishments, as in the disastrous times of the Cleveland Administration,, and the earning pciwer ofXiio Amen-an workingmen Tu'iiiced by; ia-eUf s and lower;, wace-.

A mijhon-dolisr fund has been or hi-io be raisod- in the Vv'est to propogate :(the.: doctrines of --g-ncsticism. V:T'his is the eil'ort of despair to assassinate faith. It is the essence . of excpiisite cruelty, for agnosticism offers to su'stitute for religion With beautiful truth and eloquence a secular paper, The Detroit Journal, says .in con demning this movement : , Faith dt is 11 le ray of light iii a wojld where the , shadows have grown long? and the gloom of eve ning marks the coming- of still vleeijer dark. Faith it is the arm 'which supports ilia widow at the graYeside and the child at the bed side of the dying parent. The holy silence of the c hurch is the hour of rest for the mind bowed with grief and the torturing cares of the world' without. Faith is the .only restful thought to the over- i buklenecl heart. Faith is the con- templation by which man- retains his reasoitXJt is the hand that holds from despair, from '.madness and from self destruction. ' Take awaj Faith and youjtafcv'ay the balance wheel of the humaXkrind; you demolish' the only refuge nothing beyond the' last gasp of human agony.

Aard Beecher and Robert G-. i lngersoll, when, in the course of their con versation, Mr. Beecher-said that he had lately witnessed a sight which made his blood boil a crip pled child trying to cross a muddy street when a cruel wretch kicked her crutch from under ! her arm. lngersoll was indignant until Beecher said: "Thou aft the man." "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and he who, however lacking in it himself, would seek to expel it from a world of tears and bloodshed and graves is a demon in human guise. Charlotte Observer. ! PBECIOUS METALS IN THE SOUTH 3Ir. Newman on North Caro lina Copper Mines. . Mr.- Walter George Newman, who is at the Raleigh, registers from Virginia, but his , business address is New York and he spends a large part of his time in North Carolina, where he is largely in terested in good-paying copper mines. "The whole South, and North Carolina in particular," said Mr. Newman, "is surpassingly rich in the precdous metals, shut" has been neglected and overlooked.' People have gone West : and left behind them magnificent prop erties. They are now just begin umg to realize their mistake. If what I can today show in sections of the South was west of the Mis sissippi river you couldn't keep away the people with shotguns. "I built the first, smelter that reijt up in orth Carolina, and m apply satisfied with the results, n my copper mines in Rowan and Cabarrus counties enough gold nd silver are taken out to pay all operating expenses, leaving the copperas, clear profit.' There is more of that metal now blocked out than I can hope-to take out in the next ten years. ' X . ; "One of the mines wasTVorked for gold alone for' 100. yeai s, and the mint records show that since 1849 it yielded 0,000,000- in gold, silver and copper being entirely ignored. Yet today the - world's demand for copper can't be sup plied.' It is going to be;,; contin ually on the advance, and I predict its price will be 15 cents ; in the next sixty days." - BOARD OF TRADE MEETING IS ASKED Mr. Whitaker Wants to Make .
