Thnt is all perfectly cK-ar and rationnl. The I'.ir.h. te .tern s th

Fnmo thimr when it saya, "Keep your body uruh r." Men IJK' Cats and l)o;'s. Now. one of th prop nsitif s contained in our animal endowment is the iisp'.sition to ri'-rht. In that reiprct we are irecisely like cats and doi's. They do not quarrel lcauso they have; anything in particular to 'airi hy it, hut because it is their nature to. There is no immorality . involvt'd in it in their cas boeause th-r. are in them no higher propensities of even a possible kind for the animal disposition to be submitted to. An the disposition to liht is one of the bea.-tly ingredients of our nature a i art of man's inhumanity the eradication of that disposition is one of the purposes -which the education of the homo, the .school and the church should be made to subserve. There are two practical ways of compassing this, one positive, the other negative.

The lirt Is to foster the liner possibilities, the latent seeds of sweet liume.nness thet corne into existence in the child a! ;silc of his beastliness, and cultivate in him a spirit of loving kindness. There is no danger of our fistlculHn or bayoneting a person whom we have firt embraced with our affection. Tko second Is to discountenance In the child or boy any practices of cxfTcises that will have a tendency to foster in him the militant spirit, that is to say. the flirhtlnsr spirit. There Is too much of It In him by nature to make It necessary to have It intensified by training. It Is because of the wolf

tiiat Is In the boy that ho had rather drill with a musket than with a stick, and drilling1 with the musket only arouses the wolf. It is poor consistency to send a boy to Sunday school to teach him the Christian principles of peace, and then on Monday send hirn to military school to teach him the spirit of war. An exceedingly interesting exhibition was recently siven In Carneqle hall by C.en. McAlpin's scouts. Military drill forms an essential part of their discipline. The boys displayed the excellence of the trpinlntr thnt their admirable commander had piven them. Anion? other exercises they drappred in a small cannon, loaded It, tired it. and all that was necessary to make the performance complete was to have an enemy in front of it to he cut down by the ball which was Imaginatively discharged. 15js (ivl Wron; Impression. Xow no one can be at all familiar with the elementary principles of hu

man nature and nut understand that by that performance war was mailt less terrible, indeed was made almost fascinating, to the boys that participated in the performance. It has been said recently that this is an inopportune time to discuss such matters because of the excited condition of the public mind. It is the best time in all the world to discuss them. The time to talk about things is when people are interested in them, and wai is just now the world's supreme interest. If the boy could actually witness a battle close at hand and see men shot dead er run through with bayonets, and their bodies ahi ady dead or perhaps not yet dead, thrown in heaps into lh trenches in quick and perhaps premature burial, then he would understand what war means and would in a territiev.1 sense of its horror. Hut it is another thiuir for him to play war em the stae or to read about war in a history whe-re the terrible details are invisible to the eye, and only the Immensitv ef the

p.i't in our training for civil life'." An :her authority profoundly committal to the li.-t interests ef our civilization as sec ured by the finest type f educated jounff men is Dr. John 11. Finley, preside nt of the University of the Stat-i of .Ww York and commissioner of education, who said in thecemrse of an address delivered at Cincinnati a week arro, before the National Kdueatiem'assoclation: "If you mean by 'our educational system the Substance of thin-rs hoped for' in a democracy'; highest faith, and if you mean by 'war' the greatest saa:e frame played under international rules: war whose issue; is absurdly assumed to determine- relative values of oiviliz:atirp war: war. that greatest tragedy

that would be the greatest comedy if it were ot tratredy then I answer. N'o!' 'Our educational system.' in its basic nation-wide disciplines. r, it earth-wide racial heritaues, and in Its vocational courses, should not include those whoe special purpose is preparation for 'war.' " There is much that can be persuasively urcd a to the necessity

That the modern preacher should fed low the example of Christ and see that his sermon contains words of comfort instead of words accusing the people of their sins, was the thought brought out in the sermon Sunday morning by Dr. James IA

of being In a condition to meet and match a national adversary. Iiut when the strongest wor i to that effect has been spoken it still remains true that events which we get ready for are exceedingly likely to occur, necessary as epnek transportation. Women receive wages in America now of over three hundred million dollars a year.

It is said that the lady typewritist j

has at times disturbed the domestic peace; but trolley cars, too, have their victims. Anel I am told by a. man who married his typist, that such marriages are epuite sure to be happy, because the man and woman are not strangers they know each other. The woman who has looked after a mans correspondence is familiar with his curves. She knows the best about him and the worst; and he knows her tastes, habits and dispositions. This is better than the old society plan of getting married first and getting acquainted afterward.

No longer do you hear men talk of making their pile and retiring to enjoy it. The man who fails to get enjoyment out of his business will never enjoy anything, and, what is more, will not succeed in business. Good men enjoy work, and wise meniknow that there is no happiness outside of systematic, useful effort. The introduction of the one-price system has been a leaven that has worked its inlluence through the whole lump. Honesty as a business asset is everywhere recognized. If the goods are part cotton and look like wool, you are now frankly told that the article may be a yard wide, but it is not all wool. "We keep faith with our customers. We make money out of our friends our enemies will not do business with us. Thus, through the conservation of friendship In business, we are paining an education and evolving qualities. And the fact that honesty in business and truth In trade arrived with the advent of women, is no mere coincidence.

MORE ROOM BADLY NEEDED

Thirty-six men were accommodated at the dormitory of the Lasalle av. mission station last night, it being the largest number that has applied for beds since the dormatory was openeel last November. Supt. Schafer stated last niht that the station is badly handicapped because of the lack of betiding and mattresses, many, being turned away for iacV cf accommodations. A telephone has been installed at the station, giving those who desire

te heln a ediance to get in touch with Mr. Schafer. L,. "W. Kinney led Sunday night's me eting, speaking on the subject "The drace of Cod." Three men were converted at the service. Miss Grace Bernhart sang two sedos, and several other musical numbers were presented.

(lardiner, pastor of the st. Paul's M. I-:, rhureh in the subject, "The Ministry of Comfort." "Jesus Christ in His opening sermon at Nazareth said, 'The spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He hath

nnointed M to preach the Gosnel

tile poor jml to heal the broken

hearted.' Then when the blessed

Christ was about to leave this world He said, 'J will not leave you orphans, I will send the comforter,' and in His sermon, nn the mount He said, T.lessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." "Kvery Sunday the preacher faces folks who have sad hearts, people who have met with some keen disappointment and I think he should have some word of comfort in his sermon for all such. "Dr. J. H. Jowett says, We need

to woo our peopic. it us speak a little more tenderly. Let us drop out

the thunder and put In the con

straint. and where the. thunder fails the lover may succeed. I regret that it has been too frequently absent from

mv ministry. Months ago I deter

mined that there should be more of

the tender lover in my speech, more of the wooing note of the apostle Paul, more of the gentleness and tender constraint of my Lord.' "How can we bring comfort to the broken-hearted? We can comfort them by bringing to them the great truth that God lovos and cares for them. God says, 'As one whom his mother conforteth so will I comfort thee.' We may help bind up the wound by reminding them of the fact that God has promised that He shall never leave them nor forsake them. The Psalmist says, 'When my mother and father forsake me then the Ixrd will take me up.' " Dr. Gardiner preached the first of a series of four Sunday evening sermons last night on the general subject. "Twice? Born Men." The subject last night was "From Prize lighter to Princely Fisher of Men." The other three themes are, "From Drunken Plumber to Daring Preacher," "From Fallen Criminal to Faithful Character." "From Notorious Sinner to Noted Saint."
