PRIME MINISTER ASQUITH
STANDING BY WILSON
Asserts Rumors of Attempted
Thwarting of His Policy in
Mexico Have No Foundation
."Assumes" All Interests Will
Be Protected.
London, Nov. 10. The Prime
Minister, II. II. Asquith, discuss
ing the Mexican question tonight
said that British interests in Mex
ico "call for vigilant care."
"Mexico," 'he said "is still , in
the throes of civil war, but there
never was and never has been
any question of political inter
vention by Great Britain in the
domestic concerns of Mexico or
in the Central or South American
States.
"It is no part of our duty to
prevent revolutions or control
civil wars. The utmost we can
do is to give what protection is
possible on the coast to Britis
subjects and property.
"There have been rumors that
after the United States had
adopted a line of their own in re
gard to Mexico we took a line
calculated deliberately to thwart
America. There is not a vestige
of foundation for such a rumor.
".We have recognized Presi
dent Huerta because, having
neither the will nor 'the power to
intervene, we were bound to deal
with the dc facto Government,
and because, according to infor
mation then in our possession
there appeared to be no element
except that of Huerta and hi
supporters which ottered any
prospect of the restoration of
stability and order.
"That was on March 31. Very
shortly. afterward, in answer to
our inquiries, we were informed
by the Government. of the United
States that as regarded the recog
nition of President Huerta no
definite answer could be given
except that they would wait some
time longer before recognizing
him.
"Since then there has been no
change in poilcy and no depart
ure of any kind. The change of
Ministers to Mexico involved no
change of policy.
"Wc have the right to assume
that in whatever policy America
adopts she will have regard for
the legitimate commercial for
eign interests in Mexico, as well
as her own. There has been an
interchange of views with the
utmost frankness and cordiality
on both sides.
"Our diplomatic relation with
the United States has been for a
lonjr time such that with the
freest frankness of discussion on
all questions that might from
time to time arise we 'both feel
the fullest assurance that noth
ing can happen to disturb our
common resolve to attain and
maintain a sympathetic under
standing. 1
"It is only right to say that no
one in our time has contributed
more largely; to create and foster
this temper between the two
great and kindred peoples than
6ur distinguished Ambassader,
now once more home among us,
Mr. Bryce."

TIME BETTER THAN
MONEY
(Ford Times.)
There are less than half a mil
lion hours in the average man's
life including those spent in in
fancy, sleep, sickness and at ball
games. And only about half this
number can possibly be used.
One day Ben Franklin counted
up the hours he had wasted in a
single month and by a little
arithmetic figured that within the
thirty days he had thrown away
one one-thousandth part of his
entire lieftime. And in that wise
old head of his he figured . that
his supply of hours was limited,
while the supply of money de
pended only upon his industry.
He, therefore, concluded that
time was something far more
valuable than money and pro
ceeded to use it accordingly.
Soon after reaching this con
clusion a customer came into his
took store one day, and not be
ing satisfied with the price asked
by the clerk for a book he want
ed, demanded to see the proprie
tor. The clerk pleaded that Mr.
Franklin was busy in the press
room. But as the customer in
sisted, Franklin came hurrying
out.
."What is the lowest price you
will take for this book?" asked
the persistent customer.
"A dollar and a quarter," was
the prompt reply.
"What! A dollar and a quar
ter? Why, your clerk only asked
me a dollar for it."
"Right," said wise Ben, "but I
could better have taken a dollar
for it than to have left my work,
The price is now a dollar and a
half."
"Yes, but since then you Have
wasted several precious moments
for me and now I would not
sell you the book at any price
for the time I have wasted with
your foolish dickering was more
precious to me than all the silver
in your pocket." And Franklin
wheeled back into the pressroom,
while the leisjurely customer left
the store in disgust.
And thereupon Franklin print
ed in red, on heavy vellum, in the
best of Roycroft style, a motto
that would have done credit to
Elbert Hubbard and he pasted
it high upon the pressroom wall.
It read: "Time is something bet
ter than money."

Eloquent and Practi
cal Discourse
It was the writer's privilege
to hear one of the most practical
and help sermons last Sunday
morning, delivered to a large con
gregation at Washington Street
M. E. church on the question of
"Church Membership." Follow
ing the close of the revival ser
vices in the numerous churches
throughout the city Rev. 15arn
hardt's subject was well chosen.
He took his text from Ephesians
2:19-22, and inpart said:
Under the general theme of
"Church Membership Its Mean
ing and Responsibilities," I pro
pose to discuss one of the most
vital and pressing questions of
the day. The proposition seems
simple enough in some of its
phases, and yet it involves cer
tain distinctive spiritual elements
which are rooted in the invisible,
and arc therefore not easily un
derstood at a glance. The ordin
ary relations of life as between
man and man we may understand
with some degree of accuracy,
but here is a relationship between
the believer and Christ which is
infinitely deeper than a mere
surface attachment, the ulti
mate result and outcome of which
no man can fully comprehend or
foresee. And yet, we are not to
be deterred from a conscientious
effort to find the meaning oi
that relationship as it pertains to
the present life simply because
there are hidden and difficult ele
ments connected therewith which
the future alone can reveal.
There are many christian peo
ple who estimate their church
membership at its true value and
exercise its functions in a ration
al and biblical way. Jiut there
are many others who seem to
have fallen into grievous error in
the matter of its meaning. I
shall refer to but two of these
errors with the understanding
that these are subject to almost
unlimited variation. First, there
are those who make it an end in
itself. They look upon the pro
cess of salvation as being com
pleted at some time prior to
their reception into the church
and consider this step as the
formal confirmation of that which
has already been done. Thence
forth they rest in the conviction
that nothing more is to be ex
perienced or achieved until they
are admitted into heaven. But
however important the initial
steps of repentance, faith, and
joining the church may be, they
are only incidental to salvation
in its broadest sense, and the as
sumption that one may become a
finished christian in a compara
tively short time and that too by
the mere formalities of his adop
tion into the family of God, is a
delusion of satan. W hen a man
decides for Christ and joins the
church, he is just then putting
himself in the way of life ; he is a
babe, having the principle of life
imparted, but with all the growth
to conic afterward. Every church
member therefore should hold his
membership as a means to an
end that he may grow thereby
until it may finally be said of him
that he has attained the perfect
man, "unto the measure of the
stature of the fulness of Christ."
And then in the second place,
there are those who err in the
opposite direction ; they regard
their membership lightly as a
thing of little or no consequence
at all. And 'while they have a
name to live, they are destitute
of any real bond of union with
Christ, having the form but deny
ing the power of godliness, and
holding their church affiliation
of secondary importance as com
pared with affiliations of a social
or commercial or fraternal , na
ture. Such an attitdue as that
degrades the church into a mere
convenience, making it serve the
unholy behests of an unregener
ate life, and reducing the whole

process of religion to the level of
expediency. Contrary to such a
view, our churcn memDersnip,
when properly used, conveys a
benefit greater by far than we
have ever thought or dreamed.
So that instead of being a badge
of mere respectability or the sup
erficial adjustment of ourselves
to certain established customs
and practices of a religious kind
or as in some cases the calculat
ing effort to secure for ourselves
some personal or social advan
tage, it is the most solemn and
important relation possible to a
human being.
. Now, can the church justify
her existence in the world and
reasonably claim the support of
men? That the church is of di
vine origin I take it that no one
present will deny. And yet there
comes into play here a subtle
form of unbelief in our daily
practice, which is tragic beyond
description. I raise the question
whether the rank and file of the
people today really believe be
yond all question that the church
is vital to the salvation of the
soul?. Is its authority divine?
Does it contain the ark of the
covenant for modern man? Is it
the exclusive custodian of the
gospel and the sufficient inter
preter of the mind of God? Dp
men need the church today to
make them strong and pious and
true? There cant be iut one ans
wer to these Questions, and that
the affirmative. There are many
who profess to think otherwise,
