Kilgo At least 1,000 were present Dr. Kll go's grand discourse was listened to with wrapt attention -from start to finish and at timet the sentiment found expression in applause. Chris tian Education was the theme. His thought was along the line of more expansive research. The message of Christianity n(o the civilised world is to put the privilege for higher edu cation within the reach of every man, put' the mark of shame on him who neglects the : opportunity to receive such-education, to give.no quarter to Ignorance. The times demand train ed men and women. An education without a sacrifice Is an unappreciat ed acquirement and therefore those who have received an education under! crlcumstances of actual privation and suffering are the men and women who will bless the. world most with their knowledge. But an education without the element of Christianity la to have one without , essential 'principal . of life and one thing needful forthls age of commercialism and greed. Great wealth when turned.into rlghtchannels la a blessing. - Trusts and monopolies are not the awful - curse to society that we are led to believe by demogo gues. Great wealth can and does make happiness. Our . rich colleges yill welcome the poor man as cordial ly and sincerely as Jt does the rich but the poor man must show that his ambition Is paramount to everything. Jesus Christ cttme on earth primarily to save soula but his mission also in volved the letting of high Ideals tor men to follow In their dally Uvea. That Ideal cannot be attained without the ambition to be helpful aa well as able to cope with difficult sociological financial or religious problems. We have these problems to 1 ul with' because God wants us to be a strong people. Savings have no such complex conditions and no propre" In civilization can be made wit' disturbing elements to deal with i tho country Is Imbed unfortuate that does not have them.

President Roosevelt by ordering all the appropriation for the purchase of coal tor the Navy to be expended now, will be able to get the fleet of battle ships to' the Pacific Ocean, but there will be nothing available to buy coal to move the fleet home orelsewhere after It gets . there .unless Congress makes an urgent deficiency appropria tion for coal tor the fiscal year will thus be expended, and there are' still seven months of the fiscal year to run, or to June ISO, 1908 without any fnnda available for that purpose. This mis created snch friction between the Bureau ot Equipment and the Bureau ot "Supplies, that the chief clerk of the .Equipment Bureau has been re lived at his own request from the re ponstbillty of handling coal and trans portation contracts," and Commander Davis has been appointed Assistant chief of the ...Bureau with general charge of coal purchases. It would seem, therefore, that Commander Da vis will "do things" law or no' law, and Is a man after the President's own heart The President it ' eem mander In chief of the navy, but he has to rely on Congress, which holds the nation's purse, to furnish the cash to build, equip and move the battle Jhlps. Many people and some Con Kressmen object to the plan of Pres ident Roosevelt In ordering all the j battelshlps to the Pacific, and think i.t la a waBfa of mancy to do so, if . not Intended as a threat and menace to Japan with whom profound peace i cvni; i.
