THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOtTBNALSATUEDAY E VENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1908. Vv Vii it f Real Religion. Terse Comments on Topic for Febru ary 8, "Ministering: to Strangers .and the Sick." Matt. 25: 31-46. BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. -The essence of Christianity la an In ner life; but the evidence of Christiani ty Is conduct. "To visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world," is St. James' definition of "pure relig ion and undeflled." No amount of spir itual rhapsodizing can atone for the lack of these practical ministrations. They are not the only test of a per son's Christianity, yet they are a true test. The life of Christianity within produces the deeds of Christ without. -They who go to visit the Lord's needy ones often find the Lord there himself. The loneliness and helplessness of the stranger, his unfamillarlty- with new ways, new places and new people, and his shyness and general "strangeness," make his condition a peculiarly appeal ing one to the sympathies of all broth erly persons. There Is manifest fitness In the way Jesus identifies himself with the lot of every stranger and says, "I was a stranger, and ye took me Vn." In truth, he knew to the last drop the bitterness of the stranger's lot. He walked a solitary way among men. From the hour before his birth, when there was no room for him In the Inn, to the dark day when he was laid In a hospitable stranger's tomb, he was a victim of the cruel heedlessness, dis regard or active hostility which the world displays to those who are not of Its own. Never a pilgrim walks the weary road of loneliness and misunder standing but can say, "This Is the way the Master went." Not sumptuousness, but sharing. Is the touchstone of hospitality. Ievotlon Is best expressed by deeds. The Orient is naturally more hospi table than the Occident; and also nat urally mora religious. Between these two truths there may be a vital con nection. In' many Canadian cities a traveler nay see the sign, "British Welcome So ciety." This organization !s animated by the eminently Christian spirit of showing hospitality to the stranger. It aims to greet the incoming immi grant, to extend to him needed atten tions, to help him find a home and em ployment, and, in all possible ways, to make him welcome in his new home. Of a piece with this particular service Is the ministry rendered to Immigrants by a host of religious bodies. The "powers that prey" In a" great city take constant thought of the stranger. The powers that serve are less vigilant. Nevertheless, It is heartening to remember that at most great railway terminals there are wo men agents of the Travelers' Aid soci ety to look after young girls and wo men who may need assistance; and that every city has Its T. M. CI A. for young men. Hotel guests frequently find themselves invited, by name, to church services on Sunday through the attention of the Brotherhoods. Nev ertheless, as the social efficiency of or ganized Christianity increases, a great er degree of attention will be paid to that class of persons who stand In pe culiar need and temptation, the strang ers in a city. Many persons who have not the knack of making prayer meeting speeches, or of shining In any form of public Christian service, are adepts in visiting the sick and the afflicted. They are to be found in the homes where uttering or sorrow has entered. They are not fluent in comfortingly religious speech, but their presence speaks sym pathy and helpfulness and cheer. It will be better In the great assize to be known as one who visited the sick than as one who exhorted a congregation. Sometimes God shuts a person' into (l sick room, that his own messengers may there find him prepared to consid er the vital and eternal concerns. The blessings brought away from the bedside 'of the sick are usually greater than those carried thereto. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. It la worth, a thousand pounds a vear to have the habit of looking on the bright side of things. Dr. John eon.. m -3 Our doubts are traitors and make u )ose the good we oft might win, by (earing to attempt. Shakespeare. "Without haste and without rest, Jet each man wheel with steady sway Jiou-nd the task that rules the day, And do his best. Goethe. a The kind of world one carries about tn one's self la the Important thing, and the world outside takes all its grace, color, and value from that. Xjwell. There is no truth, however bitter, that is not better than any delusion. Lyman Abbott. !Why, therefore, should we do our selves this wrong. Or others that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care. That we should ever weak or heart less be. Anxious or troubled," when with us Is prayer. And joy and strength and courage are with Thee? R- C. French. Thou wilt keep him In perfect peace, Banquet Hams nsl You do not know the delio iouenees of ham till you have used BANQUET HAMS For aale by all dealers. Cta. Wolff Packing Co. TOPEKA -Isaiah How the Ctraiebes Grow. According to Dr. H. K. Carroll, In the Christian Advocate, all Christian bodies In the United States, Protestant and Catholic increased their member ship In 1007 by 627,646 communicants. In point of membership, the Roman Catholics lead, with Northern Metho dists next. Southern Baptists, colored Baptists, Southern Methodists, North ern Presbyterians, Disciples, Northern Baptists, African Methodist Episcopal, Protestant Episcopal, Congregatlonal lsts and Lutheran Synodlcal Confer ence follow In the order named. Grouped by denominational fami lies, so that all branches of the same order are regarded as one, the Catho lics come first, Methodists second. Baptists third, Lutherans fourth, Pres byterians fifth and Episcopalians sixth. The grand total of church member ship Is 32,983.166. These are em braced within 210,19 local churches and are ministered unto by 161,731 clergymen. Interesting details of the statistical table are that forty-seven Chinese Buddhist temples are to be found in the country, but only nine Japanese Buddhist and Shinto centers. Dowie's "Christian Catholic" church reports' 110 congregations and 40,000 mem bers, despite the death of Its leader and the dissension among his follow ers. Christian Science has 668 churches and 85,096 members. The four bodies of Friends show an Increase for th year of 8.829 members. The two bodies of Protestant Episcopalians are oredlted by Dr. Carroll with a decrease of 61 ministers and 15,833 members. The Disciples, likewise, show a falling off in the number of ministers by 480, but they added 20,366 members. The largest gain attributed to any group la 266,000 made by the Catholics. Bap tists come next with 103,858 new mem bers. .j RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. Gems Gleaned From the Teachings of All Denominations. To the man of faith reason is a practical help. It's a step in the as cent to belief. Rev. Father William J. Dalton, Roman Catholic, Kansas City. BEGINNING OF HAPPINESS. To be clear of a guilty conscience and to feel that you are right with God and your fellow men is the be ginning of happiness. Rev. Dr. Brougher, Baptist, Los Angeles, Cal. ROOM FOR GOD. A sordid, secular spirit which leaves little or no room for God and sacrel things can not perceive the real joy of tnose who separate from self and sin and behold In Christ the brightness of the Father's glory and the express image or nis person. Rev. vv. w. Case, Methodist, San Francisco. HEAVEN AND HELL. Hell Is a state of mind. Every man builds his own hell, carries his own fire and brimstone, as he does his own happiness and sunshine. Just as char acter divides us here, so it will divide the good from the bad hereafter and thus form heaven and hell. Rev. Wil liam W. Bustard, Baptist, Boston. LIFELONG PROBLEM. The appeal to the emotions profits little unless there is a basis in reason Sensationalism in religion pays ex tremely small dividends In permanent character building. A night of con fession amounts to nothing unless it be followed by many days of service. Salvation is not an Instantaneous pro cess, but a lifelong problem. Rev. A. Eugene Bartlett, Chicago. INDESTRUCTIBILITY OF LIFE. Life is continuous. Every man has a cnam in which he is the first link. A second link is added to No. 1 and a third to No. Z and a fourth to No. 3, and on and on these links go as we influence men. You can not destroy life. If this is not enough to make a man stop and think I don't know what will be. God help us to take that thought now and let us atop this life of sin. Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton, Baptist, Atlanta. Ga. SPIRITUAL FATHERHOOD. Are you the real father of vour bov? Have you had anything to do with his larger development 7 Is the real boy your boy? "No, no," you say. "I didn't have time. You know I was a very busy man." We can't get along without spiritual fatherhood. If you haven't pains enough and time enough and conscience enough to give your boy this, for God's sake let somebody else do It for you. Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus, Independent, Chicago. SENTIMENTS VALUE. Sentiment has a place and a service In life. In your hour of weakness or mcKness wnat cheer la brought you by the flowers or love expressions which soon fade or are gone! But In this short life they have told their story to your heart and nut tou train on VAiir feet. In so doing they bare wrought or me oy so mucn as you In your strength are able to put foroe and quality into that life. Rev. A. M. Campbell, Presbyterian, St. Louis. GOD IN THE CHURCH. The church has only one reason for existing today, as It has always had. It Is this that God is present In it. You may think you have many needs, but there is only one thing you truly need, for which you should come to church, and that is God. The church can never be a power to save the world and to which all men will turn until you believe that God Is truly present here. God can never be present In all his power In any one man. In any mere symbol. There Is only one way to move the world God present in you all. And there Is only one way to ac complish this you must come to church for that one purpose.--Rev. John Hopkins Penlson, Congregation allst, Boston. ENDEARMENTS IMPORTANT. Endearing nothings have a great ser vice in life's success. Stern lands which cultivate repression of affection as unmanly rob life of one of its best helps. There is more philosophy than bald utilitarianism. You teach your boy prose and what men call practical matters because it is today's purchas ing power. America believes in what it is pleased to call the practical and Is ready too oft to lift the lip at the poetries of life.- Reunions and me morials keep alive the precious senti ments they represent. Salvation Is more than being carried by some strong arm out of danger. Your salva tion has been effected by an arm which lovingly presses as well as strongly car ries. And It Is a salvation which em 1 loya terms of endearment. Rev. A. M. Campbell, Presbyterian, St. Louis. THE UPWARD LOOK. Where God is there Is boundlessness of vision. Only as we see him is there a chance for hopefulness. As the eye will often hold the light after a steady gaze at it and bear in Itself a fleeting illumination of other things, so the look upward to God will help us to see the earth and our fellows and ourselves in whose mind is stayed on Thee 26:3. the light of his light. That Is the way to be cheerful. Look up, and not down, nor In, nor around. Look up for cour age and around for opportunity and within for the hardest task of all. There are more wonderful things than air ships in the zenith. There are glimpses of the love of God that make our own souls ascend- There are sights of his mercy that make the clogs of sin about our feet feel less heavy. There are visions of forgiveness that make tho blush of shame less hot on our cheeks. There are rays of light that chase away the gloomy despair that settles down upon our spirits. We look In the wrong place for all these things when we look elsewhere than up. Rev. W. C. Bitting. Baptist, St. Louis. Bible Study. XVIII. Second Northern Journey.' Text Mt, 16:18-17:23.

As regards the rapidity with which daily events can be photographed and shown within an hour or two to the general public, the following account of the arrangements made for the Grand National 1807 race will suffice to give some Idea of this. Six taking machines were at work on different points of the race course, and a spe cial van was In readiness for the films to be developed while en -route for London. The moment the race was over, the train started, and while run ning full speed homeward the operators were hard at work developing. Indeed not only were the fljms developed, but they were washed and dried on a spec ial mechanical drum On arrival a motor car in waiting carried the film quickly to the printing establishment, where 620 feet of it was printed on to the positive film. As soon as this was dried it was rushed off to the Alhambra, Empire and Oxford the aters and shown to an almost incred ulous audience. When the final cup tie was played at the Crystal Palaoe a motor car drove the film to London, and within three hours a cinemato graph display of the match was given. The royal wedding which took place recently at Wood Norton was another occasion on which remarkable celerity was displayed by the energetlo cine matographers. The bridegroom and the procession were photographed with apparatus which had been perfectly adjusted beforehand. The moment the necessary photographs were, secured, the films were rushed through at preali neck speed, and, as is well known." the wedding ceremony was shown to Lon doners on the evening of tho same day.

BOOK REVIEW Owen Wister found himself the cen ter of a vigorous controversy as a re sult of his address on American schol arship delivered at Harvard a few weeks ago. It now appears, however, that the criticism directed at Mr. Wister was the result of misrepresen tation in a press dispatch from Bos ton printed in a number of news papers, which said that Mr. Wister had declared that -there were only three scholars in America. He actual ly mentioned forty-one American scholars. Since then, in defense of his assertions with regard to the posi tion of the American scholar accord ing to European standards, Mr. Wis ter has elaborated a list of the most eminent scholars of the world. In which he included three Americana Dr. Henry Charles Lea, author of "A History of the Inquisition," Profes sor Simon Newcomb, and Professor Maurice Bloomneld. Rex Beach has finished his second novel, and is planning a third. The Spoilers was the first movel Mr. Beach ever wrote. It Is still a Harper best seller, and still on tour as a play. Mr. William Dean Howells, before sailing for Italy a fortnight ago, saw the last pages of a new book through proof press. It is understood to be a novel of metropolitan setting, which will make its appearance during the immediate season-. Mr. Howells will spend the entire winter in Italy, chief ly In Rome, and fixes his return for the spring, probably April. Another book is a romantic love story entitled "Virginie," by Ernest OkJmeadow, the well known author of "Susan." It tells how a young archae ologist who, having been persuaded to purchase the wax figure of a beau tiful girl carefully preserved in ice. discovered to his amazement that the girl was really alive, that she had only been put into a trance, and that- he had in his power the means of resus citating her. The story ends in a fash ion as startling as that in which it be gins. The McClure company announces for publication this month, among other important works of fiction, an other mystery-adventure story by Samuel Hopkins Adams, entitled "The Flying Death," "The Flying Death," as its name implies, ie an agent of destruction, which made its appear ance through the air In a little Bea port town on Long Island, striking terror into the inhabitants whom, in a most startling fashion, it carried on? one by one. Even eminent scientists were baffled by the strange pheno menon whose ravages became daily more frequent and daring, but who never allowed itself to be seen. Its presence remains unexplained till the last page, when the reader's curiosity has been aroused to a high pitch. One of the most interesting con tributions to literature is a little book Just published by the Henry Altemus Co.. of Philadelphia. It is by Joseph E. Chamberlain and! is called "The Ifs of History." The volume begins with Grecian times, considering what would have resulted had Aristides won the Athenian election over ThemiBtocles, and runs to the three queries as to what the effect would have been had Buchanan enforced the law in Novem-r ber, 1861; had the Confederate army marched up Washington immediately after the first battle of Bull Run, or had the southern states bought the East India company's fleet as they originally Intended to do.

But wnat. do you sup pose, would have happened if in any of these cases there had occurred the alternative event? "The fact Is," says Mr. Clement Shorter, in a recent essay on the sub ject, "that there is no possibility of naming the hundred best books. The naming of them for any large general audience is quite Impossible. All that Is possible In such a connection is to state emphatically that there are very few books that are equally suitable to every kind of intellect. Temperament as well as intellectual endowment makes for so much in reading. Take, for ex ample, the Imitation of Christ. George Eliot, although not a Christian, found it soul-satlsfying. Thackeray, as I think a more robust intellect, found It wellnigh as mischievous as did Eugene Sue. There are great books that can be read only by the few, but surely the very greatest appeal alike to the man of rich intellectual endowment and to the man to whom all process of reasoning are incomprehensible."

RAMSEY'S ADDRESS Holds President Roosevelt as Ideal American. Mind and Morality Pillars in Structure of Character. The high school graduating exercises held at the Auditorium last night after a two weeks' delay caused by the in ability of the school board to get the building, was a success from the man agerial standpoint, as it "drew well," the attendance being estimated at 4,000. The front of the stage was decorated with the class colors, blue and gold and the graduates occupied seats on the stage Immediately In front of the big organ pipes. The graduating address was deliver ed by Dr. George G. Ramsey, pastor of the Northminster Presbyterian church of Columbus, Ohio, and a brother or J. A. Ramsey, who Is a member of the Topeka school board. He spoke from the text "Two Pillars In the Structure of Character," and during the delivery of the address took occasion to- refe to the policies of President Roosevelt with unstinted praise, which brought rounds of applause from his audience. "We need men of great and lofty ideals in public office," said Mr. Ram sey. "It is significant, surely, that the men most popular in public today are men who are most conspicuous as preachers of civic righteousness. This is true of the more prominent candi dates for the presidency in both of the leading political parties of the country. The call is for the man and It matters not -what his politics may be, whether Republican, Democratic or Prohibi tionist who will set his face like flint against the thing that we call frenzied finance; who will make life a burden for the grafters; who says not in words only but in deeds and official actoin that there must be a 'square deal' for every man. "Surely without offending against the proprieties of the occasion and I trust without having a charge of par tisanship made against me, I can say that such a man as I have attempted to describe has been our national leader since the beloved McKinley fell. If that man who now sits In the presi dential chair chooses to still be deaf to the cry and clamor for his return to office, may heaven be kind and send us another one like him. "I fee! that we can hardly expect his equal, for I doubt if it can be found among the great men of the land. I have good hope of my coun try so long: as this soundness of moral health of which-I have spoken, shall remain in the large majority of those who compose our citizenship. "Tour own great state of Kansas has enjoyed many advances in ma terial prosperity during the past few years and has made a wonderful ad vancement In intellectual and moral ways. Many of the political reforms of the land have hadi their birthplace in Kansas and while the people may have gone to extremes in some ways, yet they are now classed1 among the conservatives of the country. "Ediucation is essential In the bat tle of life and this is shown every day in the advantages tnat the edu cated men and women of the country have over their leas fortunate brothers and sisters. I believe that the Bible should have a place In the schools of our land as the teachings are bound to be of benefit to our boys and girls. "The two pillars In the structure of character are mind and morality and we who are parents should insist that our children be trained in the old time virtues and duties. While we may and should set a guard against everything likened to sectarianism in our schools and keep them free from church domination, yet be this fact known to all of us that there Is noth ing in sect In the Ten Command men tg; nothing of ecclesiastical bias In the Lord's prayer or the Sermon on the Mount and I am bold to declare that any instructor in the public schools who would refuse to repeat or read such portions of Holy Writ for the moral help and health of our children, is a person unfitted to teach your children or mine. There Is no danger of teaching sectarianism or Inculcating narrowness by th-e read ing and teaching of such words of literature in the school rooms of the land. These words and teachings have In them all the depth of the sea, all of the expanse of the heavens, and' as a basis of morality, they are like the deeper rocks on -which the hilly and) the mountains ever stand." Following the address of Dr. Ramsey, Judge T. F. Garver, president of the board of education, made a brief ad dress to the class, congratulating the members as well as the teachers of the schools in the successful termination of their work. At the conclusion of hip address he presented the members of the class with their diplomas. Following the custom of the past years the graduates filed through two lines of girls from the class which will graduate next June to the places which had been assigned them on the stage at the opening of the program. W. F. Roehr rendered a number of pipe organ numbers and the invocation was deliv ered by Rev. J. H. Jones, pastor of Uni ty church.

Miss Frances Connell, who is giving all the other girls in her set a race for popularity just now, will make her self stronger than eyer with the men when they find out they don't have to play bridge at the party she gives to night at her home on Topeka avenue for Miss Jean Kassuba of Milwaukee who has been visiting her since the hol idays and who leaves for her home to morrow. There are not more than ten men in the Younger Set who care a whoop for bridge and although It is hardly fair to say so, well as they like their prospective hostess, some of them have been grumbling a good deal over an evening of unrelieved Pray do. Imagine, then their frabpous joy when they discover that as a reward of mer it for accepting her Invitations and asking no questions, their hostess has arranged for an informal dance instead of cards, for their entertainment. When Mr. J. M. Connell followed Mr. Jerry Black as general passenger agent of the Santa Fe at Topeka he succeeded him not only officially but socially. Mr. and Mrs. Black were always so prom inent in the social life of the town and were so very well liked that nobody imagined any one else in the same po sition could be equally popular. But Mr. and Mrs. Connell and their de lightful family have, in the short time since they came to Topeka, become prominent social factors and their house is one of the most agreeable cen ters of hospitality in town. One hears everybody talking about what a charm ing place It is to go. Miss Frances Connell has been doing a good bit of informal entertaining during Miss Kas suba's visit and has asked about 40 guests for tonight. The Topeka club will give a reception and dance February 28, the Friday be fore Ash Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Auerbach, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Snyder and Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

Mr. Gordon GOT MAD When Told That Coffee Hurt Him. One of the evidences that coffee Is injurious to the nervous system. Is the fact that many persons who are addicted to its use, grow wrathy when the sugestion is made that coffee causes them to "flare up" so easily. A doctor writes: "Coffee three times a day I thought I could not get along without It I was never well, prone to get ex cited and often trembled, but any suggestion that coffee was not good for me made me furious. "I noticed the tendency to become excited was growing on me. My hands and feet were cold, fingers looked shriveled, liver Inactive, con stipated, coated tongue, bad breath and general lower vitality. (A per fect picture of caffeine poisoning.) "A friend strongly advised me to give -up coffee and use Postum, so 1 tried the change a few weeks and found a marked improvement in tem per, nerves and general condition. I felt so firm that I thought I could go back to coffee. Three times I tried it but always had to quit coffee and re turn to Postum. "Being a physician with a large practice and plenty of experience. It was hard for me to believe that cof fee couldi have such a profound effect on my system. Perhaps my fondness for the beverage made me .loath to admit its ill effects. "For several years now I have or dered hundreds of patients to quit coffee and have prescribed Postum instead with good results to the pa tients and more prompt response to my medicines." "There's a Reason. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs.

A woman gets tired and exhausted after the slightest exertion because she is improperly dressed, according to the theory of Dr. E. C. Dudley of Chicago, expressed in a lecture before a class in Northwestern University Medical col lege. "No wonder her circulation is poor; no wonder she is unable to stand any exertion or exercise to amount to any thing," said Dr. Dudley. "The upper garments are usually of some thin ma terial and according to the caprice of fashion, may or may not cover the arms, neck and upper part of the bust. "A profusion of skirts are worn loose ly around the lower extremity of the body, and the feet are held in a vise-like grip of thin, high heeled covering which resembles stilts more than shoes. "In strange Contrast to such inade quate protection of the upper and low er extremities, the waist and hips are swathed and compressed in a 'torrid zone' of whalebone,' corset, belt steels, and the bands of the various under and outer garments worn by the women of today. A "The average woman wears a total of seventeen layers of bands of some sort around her waist. Allowing 24 inches as the average waist circumference of a Chicago woman, although there are many with larger waists, it means that each woman has a total of 34 feet of bandage tightly wrapped around her." Dr. Dudley told his class the only way the woman of todap can become strong and hearty is by banishing the numerous tight bandages about the waist and giving more care to keeping the upper and lower portions fo the body warm. The drawing shows a smart cos tume of broadcloth or velvet, trim med with applied bands of the ma terial and soutache embroidery. The model was of brown- chiffon broad cloth, the band about the neck being of white corded silk striped with brown velvet on the bias. The skirt was of plain cloth in train length, and the yoke and undersleeves were of batiste and Irish lace. Ball fringe matching the material was used on the sleeves.. v

A staid respectable spinster against whom a breath of scandal has never been spoken was walking home in the rain the other night just before din ner time when a strange man came up behind her, seized her by the arm and leaning over whispered in her ear, "I'd know those legs any where!" For one wild second: she hesitated be tween swooning or shrieking for the police but in that Interval she saw the man's face and it was as full of consternation as her own. Dropping her arm he backed off with stam mered apologies which he stopped abruptly and breaking into a run he beat it down the street as fast as a fat middle-aged man can go. Of course you guess the answer; he had come up behind the spinster who was carrying an umbrella and holding her skirts carefully raised out of the slush of the streets, and had mistaken her for his wife. But he stayed in the house for three days after the incident, feigninig the grip; he was so afraid of meeting that severe, spec tacled Spin face to face again.
