MINE
NEW YORK, Dec. 10. The big
Cunard liner Trnn-Sylvanin, in todny
from Liverpool with IHiG pafscngers,
had ft narrow escape from detraction
by ft mine nt 4 o'clock in the morning
of December 6. During a tonn off
tho north rortht of Ireland two mines
were dashed together by the waves
and exploded about twenty-five feel
off the slenmcr'H bow.
A fragment of steel from one of
the mines shot across the deck of the
liner nnd toro away a part of tho rnil
Inp". It then fell upon the deck and
wn picked up by one of the passen
gets. Tho forco of the explosion, it was

recently published of J. S. Howard, tho venerable "father
of iMcdfovd."
Most of Us come from tho oast some yesterday, some
the dav before, and some, like -lr. Howard, half a century
ago. The only reason that the vest of ns did not come along
with Mr. Howard was that wc wore not born. We couldn't
very well come from the west, unless wo were Orientals.
re want easterners and advertise for them. They
make good citizens and help in our development. "When
they show interest enough in the connnunitv to devote time
unci energy to secure more efficient government they prove
their good citizenship.
Most of our development has come from tho oast. Tho
money to build the railroads, the irrigation projects, the
power plants, the lumber mills, the factories all came
from the east. Even the money to develop our orchards is
eastern money.
It is said that pioneers took over a hundred millions in
gold out of southern Oregon. "What did they do with it?
Thev used little or none to develop the count rv that pro
duced it. It went to enrich other regions. Now we have
to go to other regions to get it back for development pur
poses here and the easterner furnishes it.
Our present civilization is as deficient as the aboriginal
civilization the pioneers found. AVo are supporting 25,Q00
people in the county, when, if it was properly developed,
wc would easily support halt a million. In spite ot all our
progress we have only made a beginning.
Wc nil want Mcdford to have the best and to be the
best. "We want to cull nnd borrow and appropriate the
best the entire world has to offer) so thnt in turn we, too,
enn offer the world something worth while. And to do this
wc must use the enst nnd the west, the north and the south.
No effort that strives to better conditions should be
treated lightly. No unselfish striving to improve the
municipality should meet with ridicule. No stranger that
has an idea' to offer should be spumed, li does not make
any difference in this world where you were born or what
your nnmu is it is what you lmve done and what you have
to offer.
Hertford has always welcomed the stranger, and always
will, for most of us realize that .the snobbish provincialism
)red by isolation is just as intolerable as the snobbishness
red by society conventionalism, nnd we would build n city
free from thctvrannv of formula where man was judged
by merit.

The bombardment of Hartlepool

(By Dr. J. Law retire Hill.)
The Bible has n divine nnd human
side, hence its charm mid jxiwer over
the human heart. It contains the fin
ot literary productions which have
been comj)ocd in nny ogc. Its char
acters arc developed in the most ex
quisite biographic the world has
seen. It hits no equal in literature. In
specimens of descriptive stylo the
Bible surpasses nil literature. In na
tivo .simplicity and grandeur it trans
cends the ancient Qreck nitthors. The
profoundest thought and deepest phil
osophy of nil ages arc found within
its pages, mid it discloses, ns no other
book does, the eternal mid unchang
ing counsels of tho uncreated God,
which work out tho course nnd prog
ress of His government and pioviden
tial dealings with men.
The most gifted men tho world has
seen have drawn their inspiration
from the Bible. Goethe, Heine, Mil
ton, Shakespenrc, Buskin and others
too numerous to mention attribute
their mastery of the English language
to a study of this book. There nre
no songs like its songs, nnd no ora
tions enn equal those of the prophets.
Its events have furnished themes and
inspiration for painters, pdets nnd
sculptors. Nor has modem genms
ceased to drink deep nt this fountain
of lcligious inspiration. The paint
ings of a Raphael, the "Messiah" of
a Handel, tho great speeches of the
orators of nil modem countries, the
masters of fiction, all tako their
deepest meaning, beauty nnd strength
from the influence of this book. It '
furnishes Iho grandest system of cth
icB, a system that is n mint and con
tains no contradictory elements, such
ns nre found in heathen philosophies.
It stands today ns firmly us ever in
the literature of civilization, inoic
widely known thnn any other book as
to the languages into which it hns
been translated, mid is enlisting in its
udvoeiu'v nnd defenso men of the
most varied gifts and tho most un
doubted intellectual probity. They
have lead it with criticul cnio; they
have considered tho force mid nlue
of every assault rondo upon it; they
hrivu tested ith leachinss under nil
possible circumstances, mid ns the re
sult of tho most penoliatiug criti
cisms nntl tho most Dinctical exjcri
enecs they are willing to risk upon
obedience to its spirit mid teachings
nil that is most important in conduct
mid till that is solemn in destiny.
11 is a tongue for the dumb, eyes
for the blind, the comer-stone of ev
ery human nnd enduring institution,
th( defense of every noblo cause, the
fear of tyrants and tho hope of the
oppicsssd; nnd mv contention is that
a book with such a history is n wit
ness of its own insnirution; and n
book with such u spirit ought to bo
spared the sneers of skeptics who in
directly owe to it all that is good in
themselves, and nil that is freest and
grandest and most enduring in the
fiviluiition which they enjoy.
There is nothing to be compared to
it in nil tho snered books of the Ori
ent for goodnKs, purity. loftiness of
thought, holiness mid loe, for mo
tive to noblest action fanil ns n regen
erating forco. It contains the treas
ure of a most original literature, stir
ring history nnd romantic legend, cos
mical theories nnd priestly injunc
tions, profound metaphysics mid
pithy proverbs, psalms of unrivalled
grandeur and pastorals Of exquisite
loveliness, jmrnbles fraught with sol
emn meaning, the mournful wtedom of
the preacher, the exultant faith of the
nposttc, thn matchless eloquence of
Job nnd Isaiah, nnd the apocalyptic
cctnsy of St. John.
