The late Honry Ward Beecher. the great preacher, which the late V. J. Pratt, who was an admirer of the Plymouth pastor, would have enjoy ed. Mr. Bok assisted Beecher in his literal y efforts, and from his iutimate association with the family he is en abled to contribute some hitherto un published documents concerning the lite and thoughts of America's most famous preacher. Mr. l'ratt had several times heard Deecher preach at the Brooklyn Tab ernacle, and he used to discuss him at times with Mr. Ccorge Edward Flow, who was also his ardent ad mirer. Among Mr. Dok'i reminiscences, the one which Mr. Pratt would prob ably have enjoyed more than the others, was this one: "It was not customary for him (Henry Ward Beecher) to see all his mail. As a rule Mrs. Beecher open ed it, and attended to most of it. One evening Edward (Bok) was helping Mrs. Beecher handle an unusually large number of loiters. He was read ing one of them when Mr. Beecher happened to come In and read what otherwise he would not have sewi: " 'Uev. Henry Ward Beecher. " 'Dear Sir: " 'I Journeyed over from New Yoik hotel yesterday morning, expect ing, of course, to hear an exposition of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In stead, I heard a political harangue, with uo reason or cohesion in it. You made un ass of yourself. 'Very truly vours, " 'That's to the point,' commented Mr. Beecher with n smile; and then sealing himself ut his desk, he turn ed the sheet over and wrote: " 'My Dear Sir: " 'I am sorry you should have, tak en so long a Journey to hear Christ preached, and then heard what you are polite enough to call a political harangue. I am sorry, too, that I made an ass of myself. In this con nection, I have one consolation: that you didn't make an ass of yourself. The Lord did that. "HENKY WARD BEECHER.

The ability to think quickly and clearly, which he derived from his de bating experiences at the Monroe high school, has landed iMr. Ware Pointer, son of Mrs. E. V. Pointer, a good position with a large New York advertising agency. Mr. Pointer, who is spending the Christinas holidays with his mother, says it Is impossible for him to emphasiae the value of ex perience obtained in debates, and he urges every school boy to participate in them. The two most fascinating and com pensating professions that have sptung up during the present gener ation are the "movies'' and the ad vertising game, both of which Mr. Pointer is engaged in, being a speci alist in the writing of advertisements for the "silent drama." His work throws him in constant association with tome of the leaders of both pro fessions. Mr. Pointer, who left home about eight years ago, has traveled all over the country, and was among the first 50,000 American soldiers to land in France. He was in the aviation corp. and was about to receive his pilot's license when the armistice interven ed. t Former Mouroe School Principal the Head of Socialist Loral. The fact that twelve votes were cast In the last election at the Euto precinct for Eugene Debs, the Social ist candidate for president, who Is in the Federal prison at Atlanta, occa sioned much surprise here; and now a former Monroe boy, who is home for the holidays, brings the news that Mr. H. J. Hendley, one-time principal of the Monroe, high school, is presi dent of the Patterson, N. J., local of the Socialist party; at least was when he saw him last, which was some months ago. He Is also superintend ent of the Patterson schools. (Mr. Hendley, it Is understood, lost his Job here about tan years ago on account of his radical views, but It was not gtnerally known that he was a pro nounced Socialist. Regardless of his political views, which he certainly had a constitutional right to enter tain, Mr. Hendley was recognised as an excellent teacher, and he Is kind ly remembered by scores of his old pupils, one of thorn beln the writer.

In our Sunday school lesson of last Sunday we had where the multitudes followed Christ and were hungry and Christ had compassion on them, said to his disciples "give ye them to eat." They hid only five loaves and two small fishes. America Is today lit erally a land flowing with milk fend honey. We are the land of promise to which a hungry world lifts its beseeching eyes for the very bread of life. The command comes ringing down the centuries to U3 "give y them to eat."

Japanese "Billy Sunday Relates Life Story to Monroe Audience Kanamori, Who Has Preached to Many Thouiands of People, Was Converted to Christ By An Ameri can Former Army Officer By REV. S. L ROTTER. Kanimora. of Japan, evangelist, the man of one sermon, addressed a congregation that nearly filled the Central Methodist church last night and told the story of his life and am nion. In simple, pure English, with an accent that one had to become ac customed to, be recounted without affectation but with much directness and force how he had gained Para dise as a boy at school, how in mature manhood he had lost it, and how fi nally he had regained it while, after the sudden death of his devoted Christian wife, be watched the ua controlable grief of bis nine children change ack to the old-time Joy in the love and presence of their mother when tbey realised that it was only ber body that was gone and that )ie herself was with them always, every where. Trying to answer the ques tions of his four-year-old daughter he bad finally come to himself after his twenty years of prodigality in the far country of higher criticism, new theology, speculative thinking, and social reform politics. He felt that the Father he had for gotteu but Who had not forgotten him had reached down- from His throne and taken the pure "companion of his lile in order that he might go back to the servico to which he had consecrated himself and thirty-nine other schoolmates more than thlrty flve years before. He saw the wife that had helped him in life saving lilm In death. How He Ciuue to Preach. Then he saw the sinless Savior dy ing upon the cross to bring the world back to God. And he understood the meaning of the sacrifice of Christ, why it was that only through the death of the only-begotten Son of God could men and women be'saved, that the teaching of the living Jesus (Couia imp i lie m 10 oeuer lives, um Hint only the blood of the slain Christ could bring back to God them that brieve, save thorn from their sins. Now It did appei why he was a one-sermon man. He determined to devote the remainder of his life to preaching "the cross of Christ the power of God unto salvation to them that believe." He had prepared a ser mon that carried the doctrine of sal vation, the fundamentals of Christi anity. It had three divisions: God, Sin, and Salvation; but after all, the first two parts were as uprights across which was laid the cross, and :so it was rea(ly a sermon on the cross. This sermon always required three liuurs In the delivery. Wants Ten Million Converts. Kanimora said Jhat he had preach ed this sermon eight uundrred times in the last three years and a half. Three hundred and thirteen thousand people had heard It, and more than forty eight thousand had professed Christianity at his meetings. He generally preached to threo or foiy thousand at a time la the largest theatres in Japan. He considers that his converts average one in six to whom he preaches. His ambition is to reach the sixty-one million Inhabitants. of bis country with his message, and so secure teu million converts to Christianity. He realizes that bo may not live to ac complish this, and so he has reduced his sermon to writing and printed it in Japanese. He gives it away, has already distributed some fifty thous and copies, which cost him five cents apiece through the co-operation of a Christian publisher. An offering was taken last night to provide money for this purpose. In fact, that Is the principal object of his visit to the United States. The Japaurte evangollst Is a free lance. He is not connected with any church or missionary society. For merly he was a Congregational min ister, but he withdrew when his too much thinking and writing on higher criticism and the new theology ot the Genual school had destroyed his faith in the divine authority of the Scriptures and the- deity of Christ. After he had regained Paradise, he started on bis preaching work with out church connection. Aniiy Captain Converted Him. Kanimora is small but well-built, apparently close to sixty years of age, with high forehead and hair and pointed beard iron-gray. He looks and speaks the scholar that he evi dently is. As a boy he was a student in a mil itary school ot about one hundred boys. In 1875 there came a teacher of military tactics in this school" from America, invited by the Nipponese government. He was a Captain James, who spoke no Japanese and did not try to learn it. The boys had to learn English. Captain James- was an earnest Christian man. but he was not a missionary and was not allow ed to teach Christianity in the school. This was only ten years from the time when Japanese had been forbid den by the Emperor to hear the Gos pel of Jesus. Kanimora can remem ber those days, when he was a small boy. However, outside of school, Capt. James would talk to the boys about bis religion and about the Bible, and after they had learned to speak' a lit tbe English, he would have them at his home on Saturday nights and read the Bible with them, and his wife would teach them hymns. At first one or two, soon there were a dozen, and they became intensely In terudted, so much so that they stayed through the midwinter holidays that year to study the Bible. Japan's First Sunday School. When the other boys came back to school, those who had stayed be gan to talk to them about the Bible class and what they had learned from the Book. Soouf the whole school was talking about it, and prac tically all the boys were going to the Bible class. So entranced were they that they entirely neglected their regular studies and would "read only Bible." Captain James had begun to preach to them too, although not trained In theology, and Kanimora says they were wonderful sermons. He believes that was the first Chris tian Sunday school in Japan. But there was trouble. The pa rents and relatives and friends of the boys, Including Kanimora, were out ruged, horrified. They persecuted the boys, and many gave up the faith. Bitf-about forty remained steadfast, and the more they were threatened and puuished the firmer they grtyw. Finally one day these faithful forty went to a hill called the Mount of Flowers near the city where the school was. and there at the. too un- der a big pine tree dedicated them selves to the service of God, and Kan imora, as the oldest, recited their solemn consecrated vow to preach . i i i me vjusyei ui jurist. They booh entered a Congregation al college at Kyoto that had been re cently opeued, and practically all of them went forth as Congregational ministers, establishing Congregation al churches in many parts of Japan. Their Influence has been far-reack-Ing. IjhI, Then Itfgulned Paradise. Kanimora finally became a profes sor of theology and became Interest ed la the new theology of the Ger mans and the higher criticism, with the results already mentioned. He withdrew from the professorial chair and the ministry after a time, and de voted himse-lf to the social reform movement then gaining headway. He became prominent In politics, was successful and prosperous, popular and as he says, prodigal. So he liv ed for twenty years, from thirty-five to fifty years of age. But he had lost his Paradise. Thea he regained It, as has been told. - Resources Exhausted, the Road Commission May Seek Issuance Of Half Million More Bonds Admission that the resources of the road commission were exhausted was made before the county commission ers, who were In session to receive bids for the remaining two hundred thousand dollars of the original bond issue, yesterday aflernoon. The two hundred thousand worth of bonds, which were sold to a Chicago man, will be used. It is understood, in pay ing off obligations of the road com-; mission, among them being the fifty I thousand dollars horrowtd from the ' Monroe graded high school district.) The oustanding Indebtedness ot j the rend commission could not be; learned, but Is said to be In the neigh borhood of two hundred and fifty, thousand dollars. If this is true It wMI take about all the money to be derived from'taxes, together with the two hundred thousand dollars to be secured from the sale of the bonds; yesterday, to wipe out all obligations. From these figures It can re.T'iyj bft seen that the commission Is in p : "hole." All road work will luive to be suspended; no damage claims can be 1 paid, nor will there be sufficient funds for maintenance purposes. The future policy of the commis sion Is unknown, but it is stated on good authority that an effort will be made to have the next legislature, which1 will mee In January, to au thorize the Issuance of more bonds In the sum of five hundred thousand dollars. It Is presumed that the bonds will be issued under the same plan as the first; namely the county commissioners would authorize tne issuance of the amount provided for by the legislative act unless, on the petition of one-fourth of the quali fied voters, an election Is held, and the bonds are defeated. v tnasmnrh as It would be a huge job to secure the signatures of about fifteen hundred voters to the peti tion asking for an election on the bonds, it Is presumed that there would be no trouble from thi3 source. But. It c-.n rifely be stated, the cout:;y commissioners will refuse to Continued on Pnge 8.

Price wants to know why It is that a certain popular correspondent, who writes good news letters for The Journal, and who before woman suf frage was ratified used her husband's initials when signing her communi cations; hiu. since equal rights have been extended to her, persistently used her own Initials? We were delighted to havo anoth er contribution from "The Student." His version of the lesults of feeding the flames of passion is correct. It is a great pity that parents have such a perverted view of the demands of society. Neither mayors nor other officials can take the place ot parent or undo the devilment of wrong home influences. Let us repeat, "We have been sowing to the winds." The ap proaching whirlwinds are- hovering In sight; we proposed, ' to be piuch alarmed, but not enough to shoulder ihe responsibility, and make haste to eliminate the cause. Rather, we would appeal to officials to modify tho effect. , What has become of the fellows who a few weeks ago were Insisting on us holding cotton for 40 cents? Have thoy seeu a vision, or do they think everybody has taken their ad vise; henco no more insistauce is necessary? There seams now to be a move for cuttiuV acreage in half next year, and thereby cause a cotton fam ine by producing only a half crop. This is the reward movpd up to a point further ahead and the people are expected to "do without'' uow and brighten up on hope for a future date. This plan has two very seri ous defects. The first one is: the people won't cut the acreage In half, and the second one Is, If they do, they will select the very best acres for jiyfon and will fertilize it liberally and cultivate it rapidly and more scientifically and will produce about as many bales from the reduced acre age as they have been producing from the larger acreage, only partial ly tilled. Seems to me the better plan correcting present day evils would be to hold the lines of Justice between man and man; encourage produc tion by giving the producers the re ward for tho fl"ort, that the expend ed energy demands and thereby furn ish a stimulus for the bringing inte being of the commodities that are al ready so scarce that thousands of human beings are dying for want of. We insist that the present capital istic regime has collapsed. The rea son, aud tho only reason, why pro ducers get so little alnl consumers pay so high for the things that are labor's creations Is that a mountaia of wealth existing only oa paper is eatlug up, In dlvief ndo, the commod ities that should come to the relief of the enterprising Industries ef the the nation, aud of the world. Mr. Harding and Mr. Bryan and other statesmen of like calibre may find a way to lead us out of this wil derness of dospaTr, and they may not. One thing Is certain: they will have a great deal of revising and a great deal of turning about to do, aad Its to be very seriously doubted if the bunch of grafting tricksters who con trol tho destiny of this and all other governments, through financial ma chinery of their own devising, will submit to anything looking to relief of the masses, because it would in terfere with tbelr dividends. We have reared an aristocracy of wealth In this country that is far more destructive than the aristocra cy of birth In the old countries, and with the bulldog grip these heartless scoundrels have on the nation's vi tals they will hold for recognition iintll they havo forced revolution. Of course they will charge the effects of their regime all up to the revolu tionists, call 'em anarchists, bolshe vlst and anything else they can man ufacture to create antagonism and foster sanction for their plunderous pro.-ram. However the days of their fat feasting ure closing and as their nefprlras regime shows signs of dis itt gating and flounders in its agon izing death throes, the people dance and rebel as In the days of Bellshax zar; and who of i are leading the handwriting on the wall?
