T1I PRICE'S WEL By Charles McIlvaine. -,Or twenty-threeyearsof his married life Tim Price had F lived on the bank of Elk River. A steep path led from his doorstep to the water, sixty feet beiow. Up this path his wife and daughtors had carried all the water needed in these years. save when charitable eleuds )oured their contents upon the cialboards of his cabin roof and bark gutters carried the eave-drippings to hur-ri edly placed wash tubs.

Dr. Woodrow Wilson, of Priieeton University. seems not to feel oulte as Mr. James does about our newspapers. Talking lately to a representative of he New York Herald about the le icieniies of college undergraduates in writing English lie praised thc- Eng ish of the newspapers as remarkably od. lie found it generally tersee and -ear and to the point, and was sur rised that so many reporters, writ n.: so hmiiedly. wrote so well. I: is ld that there should be this dispar y of impre'ssion between D~r. Wilson mad Mr. .James. It must be that they avec not read the satme papers, or hat Dr.Wilson has been reading the 'ditorials and stock market plers. mad Mr'. Jam:es the baseball and race rack itemas. Or perhaps th~ey have lfferecnt nlotions about wvhat writi: hould be. Dr. Wilson says: "Style n writing is something I do rnot - eve in. It sets a limit to expr'es 'in nd sets a we-t bianket on thought." Ir. James ht" si'or'. but his powe. o. :;'.rssion is linritle.

Alger, in thle Atlantic. Depends on the People. P. PIROWNLOW. mebnjler of Congress fromn Ten nessw, writes as fol lows in Good Roads Mg ,:ine. It has ocurred to* mne to say toI the friend of national .id to good romls that I am in receipt of inforion fromall parts of the counTy of the most encouraging character, and ear rying assurance that the subjeCt has Iirnly fixed itself in the minds of the people. The sentiment in its favor is growing stronger all the tine. and 1 feel more to-day thaln over b1efore that the movement will ultimately be suc cessful. National aid to good roads, as a plain. practical business proposition. has more meat in it for the general welfare than a hundred river and har bor bills or the acquirement of any or all new territory to be found between the rivers and the ends of the earth. The entire constitutionality of the n)roposliion is now aimost universally admitted. and the necessity for it in al parts of the country is so urgent that Congress cannot long refuse to recog nize it as a national obligation. The continued and continuing force of the movement, however, must de pend upon the people themselves. The people are sovereign under our sys ten. Here they make and unmake men. It is occurring every day. The popular will is the commanding force in a republic like this. The right of petition is a recognized prirciple of our government. If the people de mand national aid to good roads, ni tional aid to good roads will com-e. The man and the hour will arrive together. There can be no two opinions about that. The commercial bodies favorable to some such legislation as is proposed in the Brownlow and Latimer hills should strongly address thermselves to the work. It is more important to them than any other probable public measure could be. Every trade union, local board of trade, farmers' organ zation. ard other detined body in the country should take Pke action. In ecnaties throughout tie Union public le:,Lting.shouhl be held ind the popu lar will expressed in formal memorials to Congrcss. It is, too. a perfectly le gitimate subject for church and school authorities to be heard upon. bccause caurch and school interests eanmot thrive as they should thrive in a land of impassable roads. Railroads are interested, and sho:d be heard, because good wagon ratds increase the tonnage to be handied by rairoads. Manufacturers of all sorts of road vehicc-s, whether horse or notor,. and of every kind and ciharae ter of farm and other machinery have much at stake in the success of the movmtent. The~ stock raisers. fruit growers and dairy interests are all in volved, because the wagon roads are th r means of comuleCitionl.

Every tme thle women are givcn ai chance to clean up a dirty city, carry on a crusad? against public disgraces and ioralities. they are successful' and there is at once a new order of things. In one State the men, the eat ers5 of meat andt~ makers of law. legaily alldecd the butchers to carry on their work in sny-h a diseased and disgusting manner that the health and morals of the whole people were affected. One wvoman alone refornmed and cleaned up te whole abuse and made the slaugh tcr houses of the State models of iiy giene order and deceney. Here is an thir instance. In a 3Michigan city, Kalmazoo, the women grew tired of filthy streets aind disregard of law and they got permtission to clean one street for a while. cn the samte conditions as the contraetor had not cleaned it. They d the work. forced slumbering or naiincs to wake up. demonstrated to ho ity th:at eleanliness is as easy and as cheap as filthiness. and nlow tflC men and poliicians~ of Kalamazoo say they have learned1 their lesson and that they will carry out the reform in all streets of the city.

The Christian and His Biblc-Psa. 119. 11t; Jar. 15. 16. Psalm 119 is rolie with suone tiens as to th v-lu:: of tho 'ora. It is an inspired enceuun:d on the Bible. In the sp_)ciai vrse we study the author deeres hj has hid the Word in his heau:: that is, he has placed it at the center and source of rife. it thus bEco-mes the secret source of strength and results in the keeping of the individual from sin. Jeremiah represents himself as 'eat ing" the Word. The meaning evi dentiy 'is that he recCived it with avidity; that it became incorporated with his being as food becomes assimilated. Thus it filled him with joy and strength. Duty thus became pleas ure, and service was made easy. He who feeds upon the Word receives all needed grace for the duties of life. Bible study has received great at tention in the Lc .gue during the past few years. It 'is a wise and import ant movement. No greater help can be found for the young Christian than to memorize and treasure up the words of Scripture. The' Bible is the Christian's sword, his food, and his defense. The organization and per petuation of Bible study classes in our chapter mean much to the future of our League. Notice some of the benefits of Dible study: It is a Test of Discipleship. Jesus said, "If ye aliide in my word, then are ye truly my discipls." Profession alone will not make us Christians. The real test is daily feeding on the Word. The food we eat has much to do with our physical life. It has as much to do with the spiritual. A love for the Bible is the result of a true conversion. We will delight to read about the Father, the Christ, and the plan of salvation, growth, and destiny of our souls. We will find its pre cepts the guidance we need in a Christian life. It is an Indispensable Aid to Holy Lving. Bible study reveals to us the need of spiritual help. It points out the dangers and pitfalls in the way. It imparts the secret of true prayer and help. It incites in us the holy ideals of living. It punctures the in flated self-righteousness of a formal religion. As Chrysostom said, "The cause :f all our evils is in not knowing the Scriptures." It Is the soul-food on -.hich we thrive ind grow strong iL spiritual things. Nothing eisc can take its place. OCTO3ER FIRST. 'he dIy' of CI::r-: erablrihip. 1 Thesr. 0: 0-15; Luke, 12: 8.
