If I were asked to sum up in a few words the advantages of owning a home over renting one, I am afraid I could hardly confine myself to the space allotted me for this article. But there are a few points that perhaps stand out with special prominence, and I will try to express as briefly as possible the reason why, as it appears to me, the- man who saves to build or buy a home for himself is the type of citizen of highest value to the community. For the man of average Income, the acquisition of a permanent home involves struggle and, it may be, even sacrifice, for a few years; but he who is willing to undergo it, instead of shrinking continually in fear,, demonstrates that he has the very qualities that make for success; and that Is a large part of the battle. The man who owns his home can keep up to a better standard of living than if rent day takes one-third to one-fourth of his income. The saving of the home-owner gives him a permanent buying power that the renting family seldom has; he is perpetually solvent Instead of dependent. He not only has better credit, but has every reason to live up to moral and material standards that make him a more desirable citizen than the transient renter. Ownership of the place one lives In is the first step toward financial stability and community respect. It Is the fountain spring of that sincere and honest pride in home and family which is one of the strongest elements in character building for both parent and children. It inspires business sense, and stimulates the cardinal virtue of thrift. It fosters an interest in pub-

the wildest fancy while being based on the facts in the case. “In my judgment,” says Mr. Joslin “the placer mining industry in Alas ka will last a thousand years, the area suitable for placer mining is so enor mous. What we are working there now is only the gravels that will carry from $3 to $lO a yard. You cannot work gravels that carry less than that, but once we have transportation there and can work gravels such as they da in California, which carry seven cents a yard, we have got so nearly an unlimited area of it that no man can foresee the end of that industry in Alaska. “One great thing is that nearly the whole area of Alaska is gold bearing There are placers and quartz. It has been said, and I believe the statistic* and explorations of the geological sun ▼ey show it, that you could go from the extreme southeast of Alaska, al Ketchikan, where there are important mines, along this route byway of Hains, clear out to Nome, a distance of 2,000 miles in a straight line, and that in every 20-mile section along that route you could develop gold mines. It is infinitely greater than any other area of gold country that has ever been found in the world."

CALL OF OLD OCEAN

Ever Felt Since Pharaoh’s Daughter’s Famed Trip. „ Romantic Events Have Occurred When Beauty Bathed as Everyone Does Now—Resume of Seashore Fun of Many Places. New York.—lt was some years ago that “Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the water,” or, to speak by The Book, “came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side.” It is also related that she found the infant, Moses. But that is another story. The fact that she went down to old Nile to bathe is what at this moment draws one to her, especially one who has traversed old Cairo, ferried over to the Island of Roda, walked through the quaint garden which belongs to the heirs of Hassan Pasha, and at length climbed down to the very place where this great princess found Isreal’s lawgiver-to-be in the marshes. As a matter of fact, many romantic things have occurred when beauty was bathing or preparing to bathe. Actaeon thus came upon Diana in the cave of her valley inclosed with cypresses and pines. Let us hope he strayed there by accident, lest the list of known Peeping Toms be longer than it is. At any rate, we bathe. Better yet, the surf grows more enjoyable every day till the end of summer. To be sure it is always wet and spacious, but it is' not always warm. The later in the summer the warmer the water. The fact that bathing is delightful is proven by the avidity w-ith which both the well and the ailing take to the surf. Even in dainty economical Japan the people hie themselves to the numerous bathing places, the hot springs being especially in favor. Australia is bathing mad. Children there learn to swim as surely as they >w si Persistent Cali of Old Ocean. learn to spell—if not surer. All down our Pacific coast bathing is one of the greatest delights. And all over Europe sea bathing is indulged in whenever possible. Along the Mediter- | raneifti winter and spring travelers are I likely to go in, but, if Americans, they are disappointed, missing the great crowds and the beach idling of our great New Jersey resorts. At home publicity is the keynote of our surf bathing; at most foreign resorts it is quite the reverse. Some of the gay French and Belgian resorts rather manage to combine the two sorts. They retain their bathing machines but a crowd lingers in close proximity, and bathers, upon emerging from their machines, are not averse to being accosted by friends in ordinary attire. « A bathing machine, as everybody knows, is a little bathhouse on wheels. A horse usually serves to pull it high and dry away from the waves when the bather has emerged from her dip

and climbed the few steps up to the door. The English shudder at the idea of our mixed bathing and surely we are privileged to smile at some of their customs. On a certain warm day in Brighton, not so many years ago, one saw just how this modesty worked out The few who had taken machines were uninteresting, semi-in-valid old ladies and children. Then along came a buxom creature who having arranged for a bath climbed aboard and was presently no doubt disrobing. Every Johnnie who had seen her enter lingered and yet others, scenting free entertainment, joined the waiting list The machine was now down with the front wheels in the water and as it was about time for the “vision” to appear these lovers of beauty drew closer and closer, not a few perching on the wheels as if to get a better view. The door opened. The “vision” modestly held the front of her so-called bathing suit in her hand as she stepped gingerly down until she could grasp the rope, for the beach is so that a bather is in up to the waist a few feet from the sand. Then the suit had it all its own way, and it ballooned and careened to the limit and then some. It was of a nice, warm red and cut like a very old-fashioned chemise, with the lower part caught together for a few Inches. This was a great advantage, as otherwise it might simply have blown over the bather’s head and far away, giving some poor shark a terrible colic. MAD COYOTE BITES HERDER Mounts Horse at Once and Makes a Night Ride to City for Medical Treatment. Boise, la. —Nicholas Doyle, a sheep herder in the employ of Sam Ross, is in this city to get treatment for rabies. The other morning about 2 o’clock, while asleep in his tent, he was awakened by a fierce pain in his forehead and the weight of a body on his bunk. He struck out with his hands and knocked a coyote across the tent. Following it to the door through which it had disappeared he was in time to see a full-grown coyote, the foam fiying from its bloody chops, leave the body of a wounded sheepdog and run for the hills. The coyote had entered the tent of Doyle and bitten him while he was asleep. The teeth of the animal had entered above and below the eye. Without awaiting for daylight, Doyle caught a horse and started from his camp on Jenkins Creek for this city. While waiting for the remedy, Doyle declares that he is not greatly agitated, although he is fearful of losing his life. PLAN A GIGANTIC SUN DIAL Paris Committee Would Thus Transform the Place Vendome—Not a New Idea. Paris.—The old Paris committee, a municipal body charged with the preservation of the ancient landmarks of city, is now considering the remarkable proposal of a' member that the Place Vendome be made a gigantic sun dial, with Napoleon’s column as the pointer. All that is required, says Jules Vacquier, the promoter of the idea, is to mark the roadway surrounding the column with a circle of large figures inlaid in the wood pavement, which will thus give Paris an immense natural clock of absolute accuracy. This curious suggestion is much commented upon, and it is thought probable that the Paris municipal council will soon carry it out It is recalled, however, that the idea is not > entirely original, as the same use was proposed for the Place Vendome and its bronze column in the early part of the last century.

Connolly complained he had only four cars, whereas they had fourteen or fifteen in Richmond. ' , "Personally I am inclined to accede to the request,” said the mayor, "for 1 think you should know what you need. But Aere are too many of these automobiles.

They go In great state, riding like monarchs, know it for I have often seen them when I have been walking.

SIGHT OF DEATH SILENCES Former Policeman Loses Entire Cor* trol of Voice When Auto Kills a Woman. Savannah. —As a result of witnessing the fatal accident to Miss Mary Moore, who was run over and killed by an automobile, Captain S. N. Harris, a former police officer, is suffering from hysterical laryngitis, which has temporarily deprived him of the use of his voice. Physicians state that the malady is not serious and that his voice probably will return to him as quickly as it left him. As a police officer, Captain Harris saw men killed and maimed under many circumstances, but he was unable to stand the sight of a young girl crushed under a heavy touring car. He was the first on the scene after the accident and he played an important part in rescuing the body of the young woman from the wheels of the machine. His voice became hoarse immediately and a few hours later hs was unablo to talk at all. Captain Harris says he never saw anything quite so horrible in all his experience.

S’PRJSW? ANDWARa AWAITING A HORRIBLE DEATH Chicagoan Recalls Terrible Battle of Fredericksburg—Was Then a Boy of Only Sixteen Years. The suspense of awaiting death for I which preparations were made again | and again, deliberately and in full view, is told by H. H. Walton, 1219 East Seventy-fifth street, Chicago. | who was a boy of sixteen years at the time of the battle of Fredericksburg in December. 1862, but who al- [ ready had more than a year of military experience behind him. He was I a member of Company K, Thirty- i fourth New York infantry, of Gor- ' man’s brigade, Sedgwick’s division.' The story of his experience before the i stone wall as Fredericksburg is told as follows: “Late in the afternoon of Decern- ' her 13 our regiment, with others, was i hurried from within the city of Fredericksburg to support the troops charging up Marye’s hill in a vain j endeavor to reach the famous stont ; wall. As I remember it, we had no I more than come to a halt when tha i shells from the Confederate cannon ( were bursting all about us. “At this moment, behold! an officer riding a white horse dashed up to a Confederate cannon on the hill at our right. He pointed peremptorily straight toward us. We could see every movement of the gunners and we could see the cannon and every [ one of us knew what was coming > We saw the loading of the piece in every detail, saw the gunner thumb [ the vent, saw the lanyard placed and | then the gun sighted and every man and boy of us knew that death in an awful, horrible shape was coming straight from that cannon mouth Us us. “It did come. The first shot struck and burst at the. right of the regi- I ment, killing and mutilating a full I score. Again w-e watched the gunners and waited for death and again it came. This time the shell burst farther down the line near the middle of the regiment, and another score or i more were either killed or mutilated. ‘ again we watched. Oh, those mo- [ ments of agony and suspense! The [ gun is swabbed. The charge is placed and again we see the gunner with his thumb over the vent. The shell is rammed home and now the ( lanyard is in hand. The man is sighting the gun and death again stales Us in the face. Oh, the mockery and emptiness of words to tell of horrors like this! “In one second our company was tent and torn like a piece of cloth in a hurricane. The shell had burst exactly in our midst. It took one man with it as it entered the ground, bursting, and tore both his legs away; it killed five outright and maimed and crippled I cannot now remember how many. I believe I never jumped quicker or so far. I landed right beside the captain, and at the same instant a bunch of brains as large as a butternut fell on his sword. “At this moment we witnessed the most glorious sight of our lives. A shell from General Hunt’s federal guns an Stafford’s heights burst beautifully and exactly under the muzzle of the gun that had wrought us such destruction. The gun disappeared as if it had been swallowed up in the earth. “Andrew Smith, third from me in the ranks, had one arm and one leg nearly torn off by the last explosion, i Two of the men were detailed to car- | ry him into town to a hospital, and I j was sent with him to help. We took him to a church already filled with the wounded. The two others were sent back to our company, and I, being so young and looking it, I suppose, was ordered to stay and take care of poor Andrew. There •was no hope for this bright boy. That is all he was. just a slim, pale faced boy. I stayed with him and did what I could for him until about midnight, when he died. “Where could I go then? thing in and about the city was absolutely chaos. One of the doctors, or surgeons, told me to stay there until morning. The body of the church was filled with wounded. They were lying close to each other on the floor just as they had been brought from the battlefield. The wide front vestibule was the operating room. Two tables had been improvised. On one the lacerated and wounded were cared : for. The other was used for amputa- j tions only. I found an empty box and sat down on it In the corner and • watched them amuptate. “That was a night to remember, j They cut off legs and arms so fast ' one could scarcely believe it was in | God’s own country and that he was looking on. The Reason. When Sherman’s men reached Milledgeville, the old capital of Georgia, everybody had fled but a fe.w old women and children and some colored people. The town stands on a hill about a mile from the railroad. Ona of the soldiers asked an old negro: “What made them build the station io far away from the city, uncle?” "*1 doan know edzactly, boss,” came the slow response, “but I reckon hit’* beca’se dey wanted it near de railroad tracks.”

Lincoln’s Reply. It is said that General McClellan once reported to President Lincoln In grandiloquent military style, some thing after this fashion: \ "To His Excellency, the President oi the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy: I have the honor to report that we have captured four cows. What shall we de with them!" . The president replied: "George: Milk ’em. Abe."

| How Can God Declare One <> | Righteous Who Is «► | Not Righteous? By REV. H. W. POPE $ <£> Superintendent of Men <•> Moody Bible Institute, Chicago 1 v TEXT—Therefore beins justified by faith, we have peace~with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.—Romans S;L

The word just! fy means to reck* on or declare righteous. Forgiveness is a negative term, meaning to put away or remit. Justification is a positive act, and means not simply forgiving the sinner, or letting him off from the punishment which he deserves, but declaring h 1 m righteous (Rom

3L

4:5). How can God reckon one righteous who is not righteous? This is a fair question and we must face it. Suppose a merchant in a small town had fallen into debt. He is not a good buyer, he Is not accurate in his accounts, and he is shiftless. Suppose a rich uncle who has made a fortune in the same business, and has retired, should pay him a visit. After a few days he says to his nephew: “John, I hear bad reports about, you; people say that you are sadly in debt and that your credit is poor. I have had a good year, and I believe I will help you. If you will foot up all your debts I will give you a check for the whole amount.” -1 John accepts his offer and pays off his creditors. As they go out of his store they say to one another: “We are fortunate in getting our money this time, but we will not trust him again. He is the same shiftless John, and he will soon be as badly in debt as ever.” Now what has his uncle accomplished for John? He has paid his debts, but he has not restored his credit. Suppose, on the other hand, that the uncle had said: “John, I have been out of business a few years and I find that I am getting rusty. I like this town and I have about decided to go into partnership with you.” John is delighted, of course. The uncle says: “I will put in all my capital and experience, but I shall Insist upon being manager of the business. You can be the silent partner and work under my direction. And John. I think you had better take down that sign over the door, for your name does not command the highest respect in this town. Suppose you put up my name Instead, & Co. I think it will look better, and you can be the company.” John gladly complies with the conditions, and the business opens. under new auspices. John goes put to buy goods, and what does he ; find J Instead of refusing to trust him, every merchant in town is glad to giv« him credit, because his rich uncle has become identified with the business. In the one case the uncle paid his debts, but did not restore his credit. In the other case he restored his credit by going into partnership with him. God’s law says that the soul which sinneth shall die.. When Jesus took our place on the cross and died for our sins, that paid our debt, but it did not restore our credit, it did not make us righteous. Had there been no resurrection of Jesus we could not have been justified, though it is conceivable that we might have been forgiven. But when Jesus rose from the dead and identified himself with us by faith, coming into oui> heart and taking possession of our life, then he not only paid our debts, but he restored our credit. He made it possible for God to declare us righteous, since we have gone into partnership with a righteous Saviour, who has not only kept the law perfectly himself, but who Is able to help us to keep It He is the managing partner, and we simply obey his orders. We have even taken down the old sign, and now we bear his name —Christian. Martin Luther said: “If any one knocks at the door of my heart and inquires if Martin Luther lives here, I should reply, ‘Martin Luther is dead, and Jesus Chr|st lives here.’” Paul had the same idea, for he said: “I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” “For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.” When a woman marries she loses her name and identity, but she takes the name of her husband and shares his rank. If he is a duke she be comes a duchess. If he is a prince, she becomes a princess. Even so, the believer who surrenders his life to the Lord Jesus loses his identity and his sins, but shares with him his name, his character and his rank. God calls him Christian, because he is the bride of Christ, his only begotten son. God can justly declare him righteous because he is forever united to One who is righteous, and who is able to make him like himself. If Jesus lived a holy life in one body he is surely able to/do it in another, if that body is yielded to his control. God then can properly and justly reckon the believer righteous because of his union with the righteous Saviour who has atoned for his past sins by his death on the cross, and who guarantees his present and future conduct because that life has been committed to his keeping. If, as he says, he is “able to save unto the uttermost,” “able to keep us from falling” (Jude 24), and if he guarantees to present us before the presence of God's glory absolutely faultless, surely God can safely reckon us as righteous. The ground of our Justification then is not what we are, but whose we are, not our own good works, or our desire to be righteous, but our union with the Lord Jesus, who was “delivered for our of< fences, and was raised sos our justl> ficatlon” (Rom. 4:25).
