The high cost of living Is no myth
An investigation by the national bu-
reau of labor of the prices of 257 com-
modities during 1910 shows that the
wholesale prices then were 4 per cent
higher than in 1909
The characterization of the Confed-
eracy as an "infamous cause” by Sen-
ator Heyburn of Idaho brought from
Senator Williams of Mississippi a
bitter rebuke in the Benate "But for
the parliamentary rules that restrain
me” declared Williams “1 would have
a few words to say about the kind of
human being in whose heart such
thoughts can exist’’
The people of the United States are
steadily deserting the country and
farm for the turmoil and delights of
the city and town according to sta-
tistics made public by the census bur-
eau During the last ten years the per-
centage of people living in cities or
other incorporated places of more
than 2500 inhabitants increased
from 405 to 463 of the total Twenty
years ago only 361 per cent of the
total population lived in such incor-
porated places In 1910 42063-
383 or 463 per cent of the total lived
in urban territory and 49348883 or
637 per cent in rural territory
"Hot dry weather — drouth — have
played something akin to havoc with
the crop conditions during last month’’
was the statement made by Professor
N C Murray acting chief of the crop
reporting board of the federal depart-
ment of agriculture after the an-
nouncement of the July report on grain
“The report” said Professor Murray
'reflects the rather serious effects of
the drouth in June most of the im-
portant crops showing a condition
which yields below last year mid below
recent average yields Feed stuffs —
oats and hay — seems to have been
hardest hit Less than two-thirds of
a normal crop of hay is expected and
the oats crop probably will be more
than 25 per cent less than last year's
crop and about 12 per cent less than
the average for the last five years

Ministerial
Duties
By" C W Plummer Jr
HE greatest profession that
man can take up today is
the ministry But before he
takes It up be should feel
called to it otherwise he
will preach for his own In-
terests rather than those for souls
When a man la called to the ministry
le should preach the gospel and not
philosophy nor physics we have men
today to teach these subjects and the
world Is full of books that they may
be used for that purpose But the
philosophy that the minister should
preach la the gospel of Christ Bind
yourself to it with all the power that
you have In you It is the only cure
for the lil of this sin-cursed world Do
not preach literature as such! nor
yourself nor any other man nor any-
thing else Preach the Word Let It
comfort and cheer your own heart It
is a broad field a rich pasture for the
sheep and well supplied with “living
waters” It Is the gospel of peace-
peace on earth and good will to men
It brings peace to the soul hitherto at
war with itself Its neighbor Its God
Spread it abroad Make it known as
the system of divine truth Instituted
for the enlightenment of governments
rulers teachers and leaders of man-
kind They all need this divine en-
lightenment Always Gospel of Love
It Is a gospel of love God Is no-
where called “Justice” though he is
Just nowhero called "omniscience”
though he has all knowledge and wis-
dom nowhere called "immutability"
though he is without variableness and
shadow of turning but be is again
and again called “love” This Is the
greatest word In the Bible God is
love Learn the Import of this word
Let it melt and move your own heart
and then pour it out on the people
It is a gospel of pardon What can
philosophy and physics do for a sin-
ner? It might tall him to "behave
himself" and keep the law and It will
be all right with him But he has not
kept the law be Is a sinner and al-
ready condemned What can philoso-
phy physics or literature do for him?
Nothing He needs pardon and until
he finds It there Is no hope for him
In order for him to be a good and
efficient minister he must be a man
with a fine personality It Is the man
in and back of the sermon that Is the
source of power He may know
creedB languages and may be called
an expert philosopher but if he doesn’t
know how to make vital with person-
ality the profound message which he
is preparing he will not be thought
very much of ns a minister Person-
ality is the minster's asset By being
a Christian he can make others such
as be is He can recreate men II:
can conform them to himself
Power of Manhood
Men are made by men David made
Jonathan Elijah made Elisha We
will take an Illustration of the power
of manhood over meu and show how
personality rules Take the story of
Julius Caesar: When the great Roman
was still a youth he was captured by
pirates and chained as a galley-slave
But Caesar told stories and sang songs
and declaimed with endless good hu-
mor Chains bound Caesar to tlie
oars but Caesar bound the pirates to
himself That night he supped with
the captuin Tho second day his
knowledge of sea currents and coasts
and the route of tlie treasure-slips
made him tlie first mate of the ship
Then ho won the sailors over to him
and put the cuptuln in irons and ruled
the slip as a king What was there
lu this youth that enabled him In four
duys to take off hie chains and make
himself captain and win a ship? It
was the spell of his personality It
was the charm of his manhood Let
tha gospel minister be in his person-
ality what he ought to be and what
God Is willing to make him and ho will
capture men
The minister must not wait until
he gets In the pulpit to bring ths
blessed word to bis people but he
must approach them as he le wnlklng
along the street and tell the story ol
Christ and how he shed his blood that
they might have life and have It more
abundantly The minister must he a
soul-winner and it is rather on this
one point that he falls far short of his
privilege He must possess that
"knack" of getting around people and
tuik to them about their souls
Our Eternal Inheritance
We are heira of God and our Inheri-
tance ia sure I’eter hau four blessed
thlngB to say o i It It Is uncorrup
tllie" That word signifies that It will
never Ho In ruins as do castles man-
oullt The Inheritance of character
will never lie In ruin It will never de-
cease In value Earthly values fad
iway The inheritance of the Chris-
tian will he more and more valuable
as the ages move on And It will ho
are forever God will keep both our
Inheritance and us We are a stiong
as that to which we commit ourselves
aud our treasure is as -safe as that to
which we entrust it If we entrust It
to Ood we shall he rich In tlnio and

It Is! after all the peopio who get
what they want w’ho have the bitterest
