Yes, Nellie and I had a hnrd time
convincing her father that I was the
man Nellie was to marry. You see
lhcrc were several reasons that made
him look oil m-e as an unavailable
suitor.
.\'lr. Upton, Nellie's father, was a
self-made man and proud of his suc-
cess. It was the same old s~tory_ of
stliilitillg with a few bottles of pickles
lundc at home, and ending 'with a
page factory, and himself as prel~:i-
dont of the pickle trust. His habits-
rl-nluined as Simple as ever, but he
snrrollnded his only daughter with
l-.very luxury. she could wisll. I am
ihe youngest son of the you-ngiest son
of liUl‘d Fit'/llillie Of Llllicvale, Eng-
land, and lack of money sent me to
America, where I soon secured a
wud position as private secretary to
thc treauiirer 'of the pickle trilst.
From Mr. Upton's staildpuint my
lack of money was but a slight oh-
stni-.le to my ma_rrying his daughter,
but my English birtll was decidedly
objectionable to him. My n'1me,Lau--
iint Alg.'rson Aloysiiis Fitzlillic, was
nlso nn object of ridicule to him, al-
ilnnigll at the clilb Larry li‘it/.lillie
was accepted as all right. My crowil-
inp, defect to him was my loyalty to
my family traditions. The Fitzlillie
ri-lest was a pond lily on a liliie
proilnd,' bearing the inscription,
“l.oyl~il and faithful." It was grant-
l~d Lo the founder of the family, who

life was threatened, by hiding him
i.ndl~r a canvas in his boat, with a
punch of pond lilies thrown over his
head that he might have,oppo'rtunity
to hreatlle. I used this cr. st on my
stationery, and Mr. Uptoli s radical
.\niiil'icallism would not stahll for it.
llc had flatly forbiddeli any talk of
innrriage between Nellie and myself,

spend my vacation montlls there,

decided tllat if her father insisted on

was at n high point. The tclnperaturei
of the Conflsrciice was warm. No
doubt some of it will cool off in the
everyday life which follows, but a
grunt stride was made by that Con-
ference toward the cvang-elization of
the whole world. Such a (lonfercnce
would not have been Possible ton
yenr ago and it is to be continued.
We thank God for the kindly fcelilig
which exists between the members of
the different churches. Christian peo-
ple arli, not so exclusive as they used
to be. ’l`hcy are more kind and for-
hearilig.
But we cannot say with honesty that
conditions are ideal. No one would be
so bold as to say that the members
of the different churches are as llnltell
as the should be.
It isy no use for us to live `in a
Fuol's Paradise. The battle which the
Clin;-eh of Jesus has to fight against
sin is a telrihle one. It is on every
side raging. The forces of evil are tl'Y'

A London despatch says:-A some-
what ilovel view on the subjects of
bacteriology_and hygiene was advanc-
ed by Sir Almorth Wright in lin ad-
dress yesterday.
Sir Almroth remarked that there
was a widespread belief that if peo-
ple had not got disease they could
keep it away by following the rules
of individual hygiene. 'l`hose rules
were that they mllst eat a lot, have
a certain amount of hard exercise,
wash and have plenty of fresh air.
He was persuaded, he declared,
tllat they were qigite wrong though
he did ilot say these things did not
add to the pleasure of life. There
was u. belief, he wellt oil, that by
washing people washed oil microbes.
We did take off a certain amount of
microbes, he admitted, hilt we also
destroyed the protective skin which
was all around oilr bodies like the
tiles of a house.
' When one had a horny hand no nli-
crobes could get lienr the skin. If
one had a skin torture microbes
would never get through. To take H
'[`ill‘kish bath was to tiikc away one's
protection, and he objected to that.
A great deli] of washing increases

With regard to the belief that in
cases of cunsumptlon fresh air would
make things right, he naked why it
was this principle only applied to the
tuberculosis diseases. He said he held
it to be a dreadful superstitioli. The
whole doctrine of fresh air was re-
quired in his opinion to be revised.

themselves with all sorts of luxllry

getting rid of the microbes that sur-
rounded them.

The whole world is open to the mes-
-‘ilige Of the gospel. Christian people
in the home land have ample means
to send the gospel to all in this gen-
eration. The Christian Church has
never been confronted with such a
wide opportunity in the non-Cl1rist-
ian world as today. Shall we em-
brace this' opportunity for God? Cer-
tainly there is great need for united
effort.
l)o you wonder that the missionar-
ies aire llllxioils for the (lhurch of
God to unite? As they stand out
there on this fl'onticl‘ they are baffled
to lniect the needs. Tile j_orces against
them are very gi-eat indeed, and they
long for 5, united front to the enemy.
They have the impulse to march for-
ward but the chlirch at home causes
them to mark time. They believe
that Jesus emphasized the mightiest,
apologetic with which to convince
the non-Christian world of His di-
vine charaetcr and claims when He
prayed that all of His disciples
might be one even as He and the
Fatllcl' were one. John 17:20, 21.
The command of Jesus is plainly to
be one for the salvation of the world.

L0 Suv at the end, “All is vanity and

with regard to the- things of this
world frequently loses for a man the
possibilities of true enjoyment. A
great fortune or a great career may
be the cause of withering what was
once a promising human soul.
The W0l`ld Hvpeals to men in differ-

that it is only he who seeks mafierial

are uttered by Gratlano, the some
what coarse humorlst of the "Mer-
chant of Venice," to Antonio, thc
melancholy merchant. Gratfano at-
tributes Antonio's melancholy to his
over-carefulncss about his business
ventures. Possession, strange to say.
is the cause of mllch lllliiiall sadness.
To possess something is "to have
something to lose. Tile peasant in
his clay hilt sleeps soundly. his nar-
row world causing hilll to take bllt
little thought for the morrow. He
has practically nothing to lose, and
has no occasion for worries. Hut a

his warclloilses ` from the rich and
West, has large interests ill the \vorll.l.
He buys its respect alid listcclil null

capitalist is the envy of the mob, but
the capitalist has worries of which
the ordinary citizen never dreams.
His wealth does not bring happiness,
and may produce profoilnd melancho-
ly. If his soul is attuned to stand
loss of worldly wealth, friends, life
itself with a smiling face, peace and
contentment may reign in his heart.
In the business world menfreqllently

With almost 400,000 machines ln

increasing, the statement that the
automobile is now the tool of civili-
zution admits of little argument.

In addition, there :irc thousands of
new owners entering the field every
month, all of whom are receiving
proof of nn indisputable nature in
favor of the motor car’s advan-
tliges.
'|‘hc use of carl-i is now so general
and the conveliiences and time-saving
qualities so apparent in our every-
day life that machines are not alone
'taking the place of the horse but are
opening up new fields in our lives
that would bn undreamed of under

igiver and un educational factor the

As 11 willing slave for all work, the
motor vehicle _ is now entering that
broad commercial field involving the
transportation of freight and the
quicker and more economical distri-
blitlon of merchandise, which fore-
tells the emancipation of the horse,
and tends to bring close to hand
the time when the noble animal will
become the pet of mankind, instead
of the slave of u cruel business life.
It would be absurd to say that the
horse will be relegated quickly. The
displacement proposition will be 8.

.\'cvertlieleps the ultimate outcome
inust see traffic, especially in large
cities. where it is of n congested na-
ture, givcn over entirely to power
driven machines. lt is not too opti-
mistic to say that ten yearn from
now a horse oil the streets of New
York or London will be as rare as a
motor vehicle was years ago.
Although the growth of the auto-
mobile industry has been of a magi-
cal cliaracter, the zenith has been
reached without any great reaction,
mainly because the trade has been in
strong business hands, with mechani-
cal men of the highest ability devel-
oping machines along practical lines.
The trade now is like that of any
other industry. In the best known
factories, which produce almost all
the automobiles in use, there are
ample facilities for making sudicient
machines to supply the normal de-
lnand.
The trouble in the past has been
that these different. sections have
been fighting alone without knowing
what the other sections of the army
were doing. Now we propose to keep
