A 70-mlle gale -which raged off Uma tilla reef all Tuesday, broke llghtbhlp No. C7 from her moorings, and after a severe battle -with the wind, during which Vi w,a,v m ",r,r nf Twine dashed upon the xocks. she Anally man- . hIs re-election. As a business man and aged to put Into Neah Bay for shelter. ot an office-seeker. I can see plainly The news came to Portland yesterday enough that Bryan himself is the para in a letter from the weather observer at mount Issue in this campaign. Among Neah Bay to E. A. Beals, who is In the many "paramount" reasons tfcat charge of the weather office here. The 1 observer says that First Officer Thomas E. Stanneid. of the lightship, came ashon. and endeavored to communicate with tne lighthouse Inspector in Portland, but the "wires were all down and be was obliged to send the news of mail. Yesterday morning Captain Day pub lished a warning to mariners that the lightship was no longer at her moorings. Mr. Stanfiold reported that a "'living gale of from 10 to SO knots had been blowing for 10 days, and that although the light ship was equipped with the strongest kind of ground tackle, her officers knew that her cables could not resist the ter rible pounding of the sea for long. Her engines are not strong enough to hold her against the gale, and her propeller only served to keep steering way on her by which, after 24 hours of buffeting about, i she finally made her way into Neah Bay. ' Lightship 67. was built by the Wolf & Zwlcker Iron "works, of Portland, three years ago, and is one of the stanchest vessels of her class afloat. She cost the Government about $G5.O00. As sho was not damaged by the gale sho will be returned to her station as soon as she can be equipped with new ground tackle. Columbine to the Relief. ASTORIA, Or.. Oct. 28. Captain Rich ardson, of the lighthouse-tender Colum Ijlne. received orders last night to go to the Tongue Point station and take on an anchor and cable for the "Umatilla "Reef lightship that -had gone adrift from her station -and was now at Neah Bay. The Columbine will start out as soon as pos sible after the lightship and place her on her station again. FAVORABLE FOR LIGHTSHIP. Expeced That She "Will Come Off the Reach JJeact Month. ASTORIA. Or., Oct. 28. The recent otonny weather has been very favorable lor the attempt of "Wolff & Zwlcker to get the lightship off the beach at Mc Xenzle Head, where she has been for nearly a year. "With anchors in deep water and cables leading from them to the vessel she has been kedged out some distance. After she reaches the surf at low tide a. tug will be employed to pull her out after she shall have had sufficient bal last arranged to prevent capsizing. This attempt will be made during the high tides of next month, which will begin on the 9th and last for four days. ONE DESERTER TO BRYAN. And He's Against McKinley Because He Doesn't L-llce Roosevelt. THE DALLES. Oct. 2C (To the Editor.") I have been told several times that The Oregonian would not publish correspon dence not coinciding with its political faith. However, I have read several Democratic articles of late in your paper, and I venture to offer a few remarks In connection with Mr. O'Shea's article in your issue of October 2L First, I have been a Republican for a number of years, voting for and folding steadfastly to poli cies of that party. I supported McKinley In 196 and intended doing so again, un til, a few weeks ago. I was in Indiana on business, and, being Jiot far from Fort Wayne on the occasion of Mr. Roose velt's speech at that place, I went to near him. The Indianapolis Journal's account of the disturbance at that meeting was cor rect. Mr. Roosevelt and his party were wholly responsible for the disturbance. His sarcastic bulldozing and bigoted manner of Addressing the American voter 4s something new to them in a candidate lor so high an office. While I do not uphold a disturber of a public meeting, I do -think that Mr. Roosevelt betrays a shallowness ill-becoming a man In his position, in dealing with such. Any pub lic man should expect to corne in contact with all claseos of people and aim to deal with them in such a way as to conv mand the reppect of all. Instead of low ering himself to he level of him who Joiows no better than to disturb a public jneeting. After hearing "Mr. Roosevelt, and noting his wt-akness for slangy phrases, his ill-temper and arrogant man ner, I am Convinced there is an Imperi alistic tendency, and if there was not, I 20uld never support such a man as Roose velt for an office which Involves so many responsibilities; for he is not a statesman, but simply a "gSittering generality." I submit this" in all candor, for the benefit of those who must rely upon hearsay(and have not had an opportunity to hear Mr. Roosevelt In person. D. J. BRAINBRIDGE,. The logic of this correspondent is that HoosevelCs hearers didn't know any -better than to disturb a public meeting; therefore Roosevelt was to blame. Roose velt is a shallow, ill-tempered man; therefore Mr. Brainbridge is for free sil ver, free riot, National contraction and National! cowardice, and against the gold standard, expansion,, and National duty. If all persons who do not love McKinley or Roosevelt refused to support them when they are Republican candidates standing for Republican policies, the country would be in a sorry way. OBJECT TO A LIMIT. Uncle-Hunters Want to Shoot With out Restriction. Yesterday was a favorable day for duck hunting, and the hunters returning may be expected to report good sport. Last Sunday some of the onds were still too jow to afford good shooting, but the showers during the week probably have filled them up. The talk about fixing a -nlr to the number of ducks that n man may shoot in a day comes, it is said. from up tne aney, wnere tne ponus ana ,akes have been so low that the ducks did not visit them, and consequently there has been n shooting there, and the "hunters of that section have been feeling a 'title jealous on account of the good 5-port enjoyed In this section at the opening of the season. When the lakes and ponds up the valley have been f.lleu y the rains and the shooting is gooo. Uiere, tho hunters of that section will no or.ge'r care about limiting the number of lucks that may be shot In a day. Last season the grt-uter number of ducks sent o the markets have come from up the V.-Hc; All sportsmen here allege that placing i .lmit on the number of ducks that may oe shot, at. say, 20 to 30 per day, will put an end to duck-shooting in this re - gion altogether, for if there is no feed put out for the ducks none will stay iicrc, and no pne can afford to feed wheat by the carload for tbfcsake 'f 'shooting 20 or 30 ducks'. A man-whose lust for killing ducks Is -strong' enough to. keep him out in thecold and rain all day, in a blind in the bogs and swamps, is not going to "be satisfied, bs: Icllllhg" enough ducks for his breakfast The shooting of ,about every other kind of wild game is restricted, and as wild duclts are migratory birds, hunters think they need no protection, for the shooting of all that can be shot as they pass over this region In their flight to their -Winter haunts in the South makes no per ceptible difference in their numbers. NO BRYAN .FOR HIM. Four More Years of Prosperity Wanted, So Supports McKinley. XA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 26. (To the Edi tor.) I have frequently been asked by my former Democratic associates why, having supported Mr. McKinley in preference to Mr. Bryan in 1&96, I desire so vera me in supporuns me pren Administration, I may mention that, af ter more mature consideration of ths crime of "73" and the dire arid dismal disasters tKat Bryan predicted would paralyze the industries of this country, and turn the laborers of the United States into an army of tramps, I And on the contrary, that every man who wants to work has only to hold up his hand and there Is work for him at good wages, and there Is plenty of good money in the country to pay him with. Four years of experience with the gold standard have dispelled all fears as to our volume of money; and we now have a larger per capita circulation than was ever known in the history of our Gov ernment. The banks are crowded with deposits, only awaiting the result of the election, and if the people decide on November 6 to continue our present financial policy I believe we will open the dawning century with greater bus iness activity than was ever known In the Western Hemisphere since the Stars and Stripes were adopted as our National emblem. I was born in the South, and voted for over 30 years with the old-line Democracy. They always advocated sound money and their leaders were al ways in the van of expansionists, and al ways regarded the decisions of tie Supreme Court with the greatest respect. And when a Bryanlzed Anarchist Gov ernor of Illinois refused to call out the state militia to assist the police force of Chicago In maintaining order, and to prevent a Bryanlzed Debs mob from destroying Government and pr"v.ite proi ty, I fully Indorsed the patriotic cour e of Grover Cleveland in sending Unl'ed States troops. Again, when an organized band of Bryanlzed thugs forcibly took charge of railroad trains and committed murder and arson, and blew up the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mills In the Coeur d'Alenes to terrorize and rob m'ne owners, and a patriotic although Demo Popullstic Governor called for Unltrd States troops to protect life and pro-jerry, I, as an American citizen, was pro-Jd io know that even he was inspired by true American patriotism. When the very men who elected this Demo-Populist Governor on a Dolly Varden platform threw him down and trampled him under foot at Pocatello. I felt then, as I feel now, that I bad no desire to affiliate or In any way take part with them. For years, almost under the shadows cf the American flag. on of the olde-t an"! most brutal 'monarchies known in the history of the human rao had oppressed the people of Caba, and despite our protest and warn ing this - revolting- Injustice contlnu-d until it finally culminated In th de struction of one of our finest battl ship-; floating the Stars and Stripes In Fav?na harbor, and the cold-blooded murder of 225 American marines. We had su"m!Med to the brutal butchery of the crew -f th- Virginlus and the horrible and revolt In? atrocities that had caused a blush ti mantle every patriotic cheek for half a century, but this crowning Infamy rent an electric shock to the remotest pre cincts of the United States, and as one man ve demanded that the Spanish flg should be driven from the island nf Cuba, and the Administration, always careful and conservative, was forced to lay the matter before Congress. The Spanish War followed, and Dewey wa Instructed that there was a Spanish wr fleet in Man,lla Bay and to capture or destroy it. and his rcsly is a par of recent history. Then followed the TreVy of Paris and the ceding to the United States of the Philippine Inlands for a consideration of 520.OCO.O00. In rrder to ratify this treaty 17 Democratic vo e? were required, and Mr. Bryan, the spell binder, who had by his masterly declam ation and ability as a dramatic star at Chicago, and by the aid of his "crown of th'rrns and cross of gold." crowned him self the "plumed knight" to lead the discontented place-hunters of the Demo Popullstlc. pseudo-Socialistic Anarchis's of the United States, went nt once to Washington and pleaded with h's co conspirators and secured the ratPcation of this treaty. Now he, in his-self-di--tated platform, announces his anxiety to haul down the flag, forfeit the blood of Lawton and Logan and the hundrrds ft patriots whose bones lie bleaching en the Island of Luzon as well as the $20.XVO0 paid and set up a stable Government and turn it over to "George Washington" Agulnaldo and his thrifty fol'owrrs. while we stand by under the American flag and guard his crusade against the other S3 tribes of the islands and cy "hands off!" I regard what Mr. Bryan Is pleased to term the paramount l-sue as slmp'y th" paramount "blather" of a paramount demagogue, and a very dangerous one at that. This chronic habit in the Demo cratic party of "viewing with alarm" and filling the land with scarecrows every four years, Is as old as our- form of government ar.d dates back to the Tories of the Revolution; but fortunately nobody but those who themselves put up these scarecrows ever "view them with alarm." The land -was filled with th'm during the campaigns that twice elected that immortal patriot and statesman. Abraham Lincoln, who fell by the hand of one who. If living today, would h found supporting Mr. Bryan. That soldier-statesman. Grant alo came In for his share of Democratic defamation, and his def amors predicted that he wonM surround the White House with a cor don of bayonets, and that. If Inaugur ated the second time, "the government of the people, by the people and for th people" would come to an end. I am not disturbed by this mirage of doom rr Demo-Popullstlc nightmare sx corn-inn to pessimistic political dyspeptics. To-e who. like myself, have passed through the depression caused by Bryanlsm one", have ample reason to fear a reKpse. ?nd I for one shall do my part on the GU of next month to continue the present I conditions and to push the car of rem- merclal prosperity toward the Orient. I do not desire In my declining yean to do any act of treachery that w'll brand me through all future history a a Benedict Arnold. hen"p I shall vote to continue the present Administration four years longer.

' Ohararcs the Greed of Nations With Responsibility for Chinese Out rages Other Sermons. The morning sermon at the First Pres byterian Church yesterday was giv en in response to the "appeal, sent out by the United Boards of Foreign Missions, requesting tho churches to make the week beginning October 2S a time for' special prayer for missions In China. Previous to the ser mon, Dr. Hill announced that the offer ing taken the previous Sunday for, homo missions amounted $1250. The text of the sernion was Isaiah xlix: 6: "I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth." Tho speaker said in part: "The text Is in harmony with the genlua of tho gospel message. The outlook of ABANDONED TO CRUELTY TO A FAITHFUL AND LON G-SUFFERING HORSE. Tho horse shown in the accompanying picture was discovered by "W. T. Shanahan, abandoned and 'suffering with a swollen leg, which made Its every step exceedingly painful. The animal was taken In charge by the Humane Society's officer, and was mercifully put to death. It was learned that he had lone served faithfully an unworthy mas'ter, who, when the animal became useless, from Its affliction, turned It out to die. Christ's kingdom is never local, never national, but always world-wide. The model prayer encircled the earth In the arms of Its sympathy. 'Thy kingdom come, they will be done, in earth as it is In heaven.' The apostle to the Gentiles l'ecognlzcd no boundary lines. His mes sage was forf man wherever found. Our planet has one sun. . It would be as silly as it would be futile to attempt to set apart certain districts of the earth's surface as unwilling to acknowledge its supremacy. If the people of Africa, unable to appreciate the min istry of the king of day, were to meet In deliberative assembly and vote that the sun should not be allowed In their sky, t they would only make the more evident ! rheir dense stupidity; and the Sun of j Righteousness is for the world. God Is. tho God of China as of America; Christ is not America's Saviour only, but India's. To acknowledge that the gospel doos not be long by right in the Orient is to confess that it is false. Christianity Is the world's religion or It is no religion. ( "We are sometimes confronted in these anxious days with the question, 'What ' right, has Christianity to thrust itself on i unwilling people like the Chinese? If ', they do not want Christianity they have ' as much right to drive It from their threshold as a citizen has to close his door In the face of a too importunate so- I llcitor.' We might answer the question I by another, 'Why do the governments of the world thrust their goods on un willing nations? -Why do merchants In sist on sending their wares to these In hospitable shores? Why Is It that the j powers would regard it a declaration of ' war If a country were to close its ports against their merchants?' Commercialism sends its goods at the mouth of a can- j non into the cities of the Orient and says: j 'You must have my wares whether' you will or no; and then it turns upon the I missionary in well-feigned Indignation as he goes with words of love and ministry of mercy, and angrily says, 'Why can't you leave those people alone to me?' But we have a better answer than this; Christianity insists upon bringing the peo ple of the East under its sway for the same reason that the law of gravitation ' Insists that the Chinaman as well as the Englishman shall 'lay the foundation of his home before he builds the roof. God's laws are universal. All have sinned; , Christ- Is the one Saviour. In connection with the story of the war In China four chapters should be burned Into our minds that we may be able to answer the man i who says that the untactful. Ignorant, . lazy missionary nus oeen iu umiiic. "Chapter I. There was a time when opium was a contraband article In China. Two hundred chests were allowed to be shipped into the country annually for i medicinal purposes. It was forbidden as an article of trade. But the Portuguese carried on a profitable smuggling busi ness, and the East India Company con ceived the Idea of using the plains of India for growing the poppy and smug gling the drug Into China. After a time the English Government superseded the East India Company, and for a time the world witnessed the spectacle of Chris tian England engaged In smuggling opium Into China. Then the Emperor of China became enraged. He ordered his Com missioner to seize the offenders, whoever they were, execute the Chinese engaged 'n the traffic and put trie foreigners In prison. This was done, and the opium was emptied into the sea in some such spirit as our forefathers tossed chests of tea in Boston harbor. "Did enlightened England send a note of apology to China and punish her sub jects who had sought to fasten an awful curse on the people of the East? Well, ( hardly. England sent a fleet of warships to unma, seizea tne mugiuiiceiii port ut Hong Kong, which she holds to this day, compelled China to pay $21,000,000 for the opium seized and for the expense pf send ing the warships, and forced her at the mouth of cannon to allow the shackles of the opium curse to be fastened on her people. And -when tne Chinese muttered savagely, 'Let us drive the foreigner Into the sea,' an opium merchant wrote back to a London newspaper that the mission aries should not be allowed there, as they ! were causing no end of trouble. "Chapter II. Then the enlightened French Nation thought It was in, order , to extend its commerce: It was discov ered, however, that there was a duty on goods sent Into China. But this difficulty ! was speedily overcome. A fleet was sent 1 to Tonquln.and the city was taken just I as a highwayman might spring from a ' dark alley and take a pedestrian's watch- at the point of a revolver. Then, when I the- Chinese clenched their fists and de clared they would be avenged for the outrage, a French Consul announced to some) travelers that the missionaries were a mena'ce to the peace of China and should be recalled. "Chapter III. Russia Jhought it was time to be'doing something ln,xthe -f arEast. There was a line., aeep-water naroor up m i Manchuria and Russia's port at Vladivo stock was icebound a large portion of the year. Therefore, with -about as irinph Dolitenessi and for the obvious reason,,a 1 Rocky Mountain grizzly seizes Its victim, the Russian bear laiq its great paw on Port Arthur, the Chinese became dis tressed that Iks -four deep-water "ports seemed to be -passing into the hands of foreigners. Angry, protestations were heard and threats. Were made. Then a Russian Army officer told a newspaper correspondent that, the missionaries were making no end of trouble that they ought to know better than 'insult the people of China by building hospitals to care for their sick, and establishing schools to educate their younsr "Chapter TV? At this point enlight ened Germany began to feel that it was not doing its duty -in the'far East. Two of its citizens, who happened to be mis sionaries, had been murdered Just as some Italians were murdered in Now- Orleans a -few years ago. The matter could have been settled in some such" way as it was here. But no. Germany was .not going to be behind in trade expansion in the Orient. So she sent -her fleet to China's fine' port of Wei-Hai-Wel, and annexed it to tho Kaiser's realm, and miles and ITS MISERY. miles of territory. But that was not all. A fow -years ago a private party of Ger mans sailed up one of the rivers in search of treasures. They landed at a royal cem etery, 'and began digging Into the tombs of Chinese Kings. The exasperated Chi nese of the neighborhood gathered to gether, attacked the desecraters of their dead, and the robbers were killed. Did the German Government send a letter of approval to .the villagers who thus de fended tho bones of their dead Kings? Not exactly. It sent a warship up the river to wipe the villagers from the face of the earth. And when there filtered through the empire the liews of these re peated wrongs, and the members of a secret society grasped their guns and de clared they would driye every foreigner awny, the German attache wrote back to his government that the. missionaries ehould be left to their fate if they per-' sisted in arousing the anger of tho people. We know a ureat deal more now about the cause of discontent in China than we did three months ago. "We who are Christians have our rea son for sending the gospel to China, and no argument of the faint-hearted nor threat of brazen commercialism can dis suade us. We' have our orders from the lips of Christ himself. The past urges us to the task and the future beckons us to the work. But Is there a reason for the evangelization of China which we can place before men who can be moved onlv by the motive of self-interest? China Is sometimes called the Yellow Peril. All who have investigated the question roprrt that a sullen cloud hangs low on the, Oriental horizon which threatens world wide destruction. More than one thought ful student has prophesied that a day will come and it Is not far ahead when there will be a fearful contest with the Christian nations on the one side and the Chinese on the other. Our ablest mission aries have been impressed with the fact that China contains millions of men who, with modern enginery of warfare in their hands, might sweep over the earth, aa Genghis Kahn In the thirteenth century, and Tamalane in the fourteenth century, swept from the east with their hordes Into Asia Minor, destroying millions of lives. I open a lat'o magazine and read an article which is spoken of as a re markable one, and read: 'China as an anvil has chipped many a hammer al ready. China as a hammer will yet pound tlie Cossack anvil as no European ham mer ever -yet pounded it. The land that produces a mendicant Genghis Kahn may yet produce a twentieth-century Genghis Kahn up In .the mastery of modern war fare.' I open another magazine and read: 'If the sleeping giant shall once awaken and becomo conscious of his strength, let the world beware.' I open another late magazine and find that a" writer has amassed cold figures lnto'an Impressive and chilling array;' 'I am firmly con vinced,' says . the . writer, 'that unless something revolutionary Is done beforo another generation shall have passed away, the world will b"e split asunder :u a gigantic struggle between the white and yellow races.' "What Is the combined population of 'the civilized nations of the . earth? Russia has 120,000,000, the United States has CO.00O, 000, Germany has 48,000,000, Franco 3S.000, 0C0, the British Empire 40,000,000, Janan 40,000,000, and Italy 28,000,000; total, 3S&. 000,000. But China clone has a population of 400,000,000. Since 1891 China has im ported from England alone 7L guns or position and 11,000 rounds of ammunition, 123 field guns, with 40,000 rounds, and 207 machine guns, with 4,000,000 rounds. From Germany she has Imported 500,000 Mauser ' rifles and 3,000,000 rounds of ammunition. Place every available soldier of China be hind a Mauser and fit an army with such death-dealing machinery as Is now made and what an appalling menace this yellow race, becomes to the nations of the earth. Such a nation well equipped and organ ized could overwhelm the world. "Well, what Is to be done to forestall , such a catastrophe? This writer whose figures I have quoted says there Is only one way to forestall such a calamity,, arid that Is to" sllbe up the empire and give each power a -piece. But the Unlteif States says that that shall never happen with Its consent. It Is Improbable that such a thing can be done", and lfir lt could, more strife would probably be stirred up than would be allayed. What can bo done? There" can be done for. China what , has-been done for, Japan. When the.,..a" lled" armies marched to Pekln to the re lief of the Ambassadors, one of the most efficient, most trusted, most' aggressive sections of that army was that of Japan. Fifty years ago It was a heathen nation. Fifty years ago it would "have taken its 'place by the side- of China. Fifty years jiago jt was as blindly prejudiced against tne roreigner as unina' is toaay., out Christianity has revolutionized Japan,. It has-lidhey-combed it with its thought. It has .held before It high Ideals. It has put new motives in the hearts of the people. Today. that England of the Orient Is one1 of the world's great powers, and it Is arrayed on tne side" if civilization against heathenism. And this is exactly what is needed in China. Who cares how strong, ithe glantis if hls.hsartils right? Who cares haw many millions there are in China if they are good' people? Who cares how many rifles' andamach1he guna are shipped there if they are to be turned only against that which is evil? "Let the Gospel work its beneficent min istry among those millions of the Orient and the yellow peril will become a golden blessing." "THE MASTER'S CALL." Stirring Sernion and Fine Music at Centenary M. E. Cnurch. Yesterday morning's services at Cen tenary Church were especially attractive. Aside from the beautiful song service rendered by the choir, Mrs. Miller sang, by request, "In the Secret ofHls Pres ence," in a very acceptable manner. Dr. G. W. Gue, the pastor, then delivered a sermon on "The Master's Call," from the text Matthew xl:2S-29, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me and ye shall find resfeV He said in part: "We ought to give thanks that Christ spoke those words. There are numbers of sublime passages In the Bible, but none tower above these verses. They are so suited to the needs of a stricken and sor rowing humanity, and there is sd much in them, really too much for one sermon. Luther used to say that some Scripture verses were little Bibles In themselves, and he surely referred to these fi'om Matthew. "Here we have before us an Invitation from Christ to come to him, toge.-.er with a plain statement of what, he re quires of his people, and, lastly, the re ward for sincere service to him. All about us are aching hearts, and disappoint ments are pressing where we least ex pect it. When Jesus found such people he said to them, 'Come unto me and 1 will give you rest.' What a solace and what comfort we find In these words, which are so full of tender pity and sweet compassion! When Christ speaks It h heart calling heart and life to life. "Our men of learning and science have argued and reasoned on nearly everything known. By means of their 'speculative philosophy they have made many ques tions plain, but none of them, or. In fact, any one In this world, has been able to comprehend Omnipotence, the great Di vine Being. They can't explain him, for no human being can understand Infinity. Though so wonderful in power, he is as meek and gentle as a little child, and the world has suffered much because It dops not comprehend this, because It has not availed Itself of his Invitation and gone to him. This simple means of sal vation has been overlooked. If we will live, trust and follow him, we shall have perfect peace. "Do you want to be saved? Then go to the Savior. Do you want to believe? Don't go to Darwin, or the higher criti cism, but to the Bible. It Is the light of the world. Churches, doctrines and Bibles are helps to Christian growth but they do not do all; it is the Christ In them that we need. It Is the dally practice of 'the teachings we get from these helps that make us grow In grace and truth. The church Is the channel, but Christ Is the living water that cleanses and puri fies mankind. "Now, who Is It that Jesus calls? It Is all who labor and are heavy laden that he wants. It Is those who have a hun gering and longing for freedom from the galling yoke of sin. There Is not one In the whole world whom he does not call, sinners. and saints alike. He didn't come to saye .good men, but to save Samari tans, bad people, lost souls. We all Be lieve In the doctrines, but fall so often In Its practice. 'How many of ,us ever Invited one of" the lowest of the low to our church and sat beside him during the service? Are we dally following Christ's example and Instruction? "In the text Christ tells us what we are to do If we follow him. We are to take his. yoke, which Is easy and light, and quite unlike the yoke we bear in our sinful life. His yoke Is a sweet and gentle one, which enables us to go through the tempestuous storms of life safely and steadily to where the harbor lights are gleaming. And If we do this, great will be our reward. He will give us rest; a peaceful calm 'will enter our souls when the battle Is won, which la unlike any thing on earth." Thriving: Without a. Pastor. The Fourth Presbyterian Church, In thict ritv seems to be cetting on very well without any regularly stated pastor, although six Sundays have passed since Rev. Thomas Boyd vacated the pulpit. Members of the congregation volunteer to read from the scriptures, lead In prayer and singing and occasionally are helped out by a visiting minister. In this way large congregations still attend both morning, and evening services, and the Sunday school Is fully as largely patron ized as ever, while sociability among the members seems to' have increased as a result of so much volunteering.

Three Months of the New Scientific Treatment Restored His Hair. Baldness Is caused by dandruff, which Is caused by a germ. Kill the germ and 1 there Is almost certainty that hair -will grow again. If the follicle has not been I totally destroyed. Nels Peterson, of Lime ' Spur. Mont., says: "I had been bald six years, and had tried all Kinds or. -cures, but -without any benefit whatever, until I tried Herpicide. November 16, 1S39, I began using Herpicide. and in three months a fine growth, ot hair covered my head completely." Ask .your druggist for Herpicide. Everybody can havo lux uriant, glossy hair. If Herpicide Is used thoroughly. Take no substitute.
