the wonders of the world.

within a radius of throe or four
miles, and many smaller ones are
found within a comparatively short
distance. The smallest of the three
shown is a giant compared with the
Natural Bridge of Virginia with
which every one is familiar.
On account of the distance from
railroads and the difficulties encountered
in making the trip, but few
people have visited these curiosities,
and their discovery being comparatively
recent, but little is known
about them. Only within the last
year or two has anything like a scientific
study been made of these
peculiar formations. In 1905 Salt
Lake City men visited the region, and
the scientists of the party made an
extended study of the structures and
careful measurements as well as
numerous photographs.
A picture gives but a faint idea of
the magnitude of these giant structures,
the largest of which is to the
natural bridges of the world what the
Grand Canon of the Colorado is to
the gorges of the world. It is claimed
that the Augusta Bridge is the largest
irnnu-n natural hrlriee in the world:
out Mr. Charles F. Loomis in his interesting
book, "Some Strange Corners
of Our Country,'* describes a
^ natural bridge in Arizona that is
large enough to contain a five acre
peach orchard upon its floor. Its
structure is, however, radically different
from that of the Utah bridges, so
:hat it cannot be classed with them.
These thr;e bridges are situated in
the White Canon, which leads down
to the Colorado River. In fact, all
of the natural bridges of this region
are in canons leading down to the
Colorado. The large bridges ace in
the very wilds of the continent, about
125 miles from Yellow Jacket Canon,
I Colorado, and ICS miles from Cortez,
Colorado, the nearest outfitting point
for travelers visiting the region.

Subject: "Patriotic Manhood."
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church,
Hamburg avenue and Weirfield
street, on the above theme, the pastor.
Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson,
took as his text II Sam. 10:12, ''Let
us show ourselves men for the sake
of our people and for the cities ol
our God." He said:
The history of the world is rich
with the record of the achievements
of patriotic manhood. In no untrue
sense we may say that the fairest his
tory of humanity is inseparably
linked with the deeds of its heroes.
Whether in war or peace, it has been
ever so. The valorous of all
ages have made the enduring story of
the world's advance.
Not otherwise is it with America.
The story of the States is the story
of heroic living both in war and in
peace. No nation under the sun has
a prouder list of valiant warriors
than have we. No country can boast
a more unblemished record?despite
our acknowledged sins?than ours.
The memory of the men who braved
the wilds of an unknown land, of the
souls who dared at Valley Forge, on
the waters of Lake Erie, at Gettysburg,
at Santiago, that a new land
might be discovered to a waiting
world, that a nation might be born
and saved, that liberty might be enlarged,
will never be forgotten. The
remembrance of such manhood is
imperishable. Of such a manhood
America has her share. By the devotion
of such a manhood our heritage
of fre?dom was procured, and
by it the priceless liberties of a free
people have been conserved to us all.
But glorious as is the history of
militant America, greater still is her
pre-eminence as a nation that is being
perfected under God in the arts
of peace. Delightful as are the deeds
of our warriors, still more entrancing
are the peaceful achievements of
our civilians. The Puritans, as stern
and unrelenting warriors, are not
half the picture that they present as
the architects and builders of a government
founded deep in the everlasting
principles of individual and
social righteousness. Washington
as a general is eclipsed by the first
President of an, united people. The
Southerner as a fighter is supreme,
but the fruits of a rehabilitated
Southland tell to-day in tones that
are thunderous of the patriotism, the
chivalry, the indomitable perseverance
of the manhood of the South.
Some day we shall elevate Edison
above Grant and the heroes of the
moral warfares we have waged above
the valorous upon the field of strife.
For, in the last analysis, the heroes
of peace are, from every point of
view, more masterful, more inspiring
than the mighty men of war. II
is easier, when once the fever of
the battle has gotten hold upon a
man, to go to death to the mingled
ro^r of music and of musketry than to
live and struggle in the face of overwhelming
odds, without a cheer and
without the fanfare of the field of
battle, for the civic welfare of a nation
and for abstract right. And
many a man who has served with
devotion under the stimulus of the
common call to arms has been a
traitor and a coward and has sold
his country and his soul because he
lacked the courage to risk all and to
dare and to attack against moral and
spiritual wickedness and exalted sin
in the quiet hours for the common
weal.
America needs more men to live
for her?men who will dare to show
themselves men "for the sake of our

For it would appear that this is a
land of promise, that Immanuel is
with us, that this country is His
country, that the municipalities of
this united commonwealth are the
property, the possession of Divinity.
In the face of national weakness and
of civic unrighteousness, in the face
of the unquestioned exploitation oi
the people for the benefit of the few,
we need men who have a call to live
for the general good, and who wil]
heed and serve.
The problems of America are as
stupendous as tier sins, The situation
demands, however, not revolution
but solution. The land cries oul
for men who can solve?solve large
problems in a large way. We musl
have solution, and that soon. If it ie
delayed for long we shall have "th?

who are a sweet savor to God and
who have power with men; men whc
will be straight; men who will b(
honest; men who will value recti
tude above riches and the populai
welfare above personal reward.
America needs manhood. And
first of all she needs a broad-minded
manhood. The Puritan was sturdj
but he was narrow. The manhood ol
to-day must combine the sturdiness
and integrity of the Pilgrim Fathers
with the intellectual breath of ar
enlightened member of a twentieth
century society. It must not be nar
row, it must not be shallow. Possessing
the ethical capacity of ?
man of God, it must have that capacity
for sound and proficient judgment
that shall command .and retair
the confidence of men.
America need3 a moral manhood
She needs a race of men who wil
have more respect for the right thai
respect for law. The reason so manj
men have not proper respect for law
is that they have no comprehecsior
of the mandatory qualities of thai
which is right. The man who loves

We must have the sort, of man,
hood that will take our text as its
motto if America is to endure. It
is not popular to state the evils that
afflict the American social system;
, it is unwise to magnify them. But
, they do exist and they must be
curbed. They cannot be cured by
avoiding them. They cannot be diag.
nosed ^y evading them. They can
. only be rectified by a patriotic manhood;
a manhood of broad and deep
, and sensitive intelligence, of superb
moral capacity, of religious convic1
tion, of self-sacrificing loyalty*to the
interests of the people and the commonwealths
of God. It would be
i idle to deny the need. To refrain to
! declare it is reprehensible. Already
. the money-changers are in the tem'
pies; the thieves are in the treasury,
those who despoil the widows, the
: orphans, and those who are without
i guile, are at work. Already men are
. "devising iniquity upon their beds."
Already they are carrying out in the
daylight the evil they design at night.
The wind is being sowed. The holo;
caust is being kindled. God forbid
i we should await the whirlwind and
, the flames with silent tongues.
America must have a consecrated,
; patriotic manhood of a larger build,
i of a wider vision, of a more divinely
inspired energy then any she has yet
possessed. Such a manhood alone
can quench the smoldering fires and
i combat with prevailing force the

> Conscience and the Watch.
A man once asked me, "Is not con1

1 Spirit?" I just took out my watch
and said, "Is not my watcti better
f than the sun?" Suppose that I said
to you, "I will tell you the hour by
my watch, and you must always take
the time from me."

THE TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA
| CONCERTED ATTACK ON DRINK
WINNING ALL ALONG LINE.
What Should Be the True Position of
Christians in Regard to the Question
of Intoxicants is Here EIo
qucjiuy uiscussea oyxvirs.tsaxi^r.
Tlie question of abstinence from in.oxicants,
and we might add narcotics,
is no longer a personal question.
In England and America, more
than any other lands, souls and
bodies by the thousands are falling
victims to drink. The evils of drink
are greatly increasing on the continent
of Europe, and the brutalizing
influence of this and other forms of
baneful self-indulgence tell terribly
upon the moral and religion of professedly
ChriBtian countries. Lunatic
asylums, prisons and graves fill rapidly
in consequence of those things.
"What, then, is the true position of
Christians with regard to this thing?
Are we to go with the multitude to do
evil? God forbid. Setting aside the
question whether or not these things
are good for us individually, from
either the morale physical or spiritual
point of view, let us consider whether
the use of them on our part helps
to drag our brethren out of the mire
or encourages them to wallow in It.
"All things are lawful for me, but all j
things dre not expedient; all things I
are lawful for me, but all things edify
not. Let no man seek his own, but
every man another's wealth" (or

up, not only ourselves, but other people.
"And If any man thinketh that
he knoweth anything, he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know."
How often we have heard moderate
drinkers declare how much they knew
of the evil of drunkenness, but that
for themselves they were ordered
stimulants by doctors, and they
should think it very wrong to abstain
?they knew how to take it in moderation.
Puffed up by their own
knowledge of how much drink they,
might take with impunity, they condemn
the weakness of the poor hapless
drunkard. And some poor
tempted servant, with no such knowledge,
has reflected thus: "If my master,
who is known as such a Christian
man, thinks it right to use stimulants,
how much more should I,
who make no such profession?" And
the servant, having no such power of
self-control,becomes a drunkard, robs
his master's cellar, leaves without a
character, and ends either in a
prison, a lunatic asylum or a work
nouse. rne Knowieuge wmcn punea
up went no way toward saving the
poor tempted one.
How many families we have known
(n which one-half, in some cases the
whole family, have fallen through
drink! If we visit the prisons, the
lunatic asylums, the courts and alleys
Df our large towns, and search out
the causes of thousands becoming
mad, thousands becoming paupers,
thousands being out of work, thousands
being qutcasts upon oiw
streets; the reason will be found, in
nine cases out of ten. in the habitual
use of intoxicants and narcotics. And
none of these victims began by excess.
Puffed up by the knowledge, as
they thought, of their own strength,
they fell, and there was none to help
them. "But love buildeth up." That
which no other power in all the universe
has accomplished, love has
done. .Tesus has made a way by
which the poor, lost drunkard, the
harlot, the opium slave, may be redeemed
from their sins and misery;
even from the very taste and desire
of that which has enslaved them, as
well as its physical consequences.
His love "buildeth up" a temple of
the Holy Ghost out of the veriest
ruin which drink, uncleanliness or
opium have made. For us, His followers,
His representatives, the members
of His body, what is becoming?

Herald.
Essays on Alcohol.
Nearly 6000 children in an English
*chool district recently contributed essays
on "Physical Deterioration and
Alcohol." Here are some of the best:
"Alcohol is useful, but not in the
body. It is useful for polishing furniture."
"I hope I never touch drink till I
am dead."
"A man who takes alcoholic drinks
can see two things at once."
"The children of drunkards are
often weak, and are sometimes troubled
with being bow-legged."
"Those who take drink are not so
broad-chested as they v/ere 100 years
ago."
"When a man is ill the doctor will
say, 'Are you a drinker of alcohol?'
And if he says, 'Yes,' the doctor will
say, 'That is what has made you ill;
you have a fattly liver.' "
"The more temperately we live, the
better it will be for body and mind."

Quiet For His Soul.
A Frenchman in South America,
a maker of wine, became a seeker
of religion at the mission services.
He could find no light. He could not
even pray for it. Something kept
saying to him, "What about your
wine? What about your wine.?"
"My wine is all right," he would reply.
"It is good, pure wine; there is

could not gain the peace he sought
until he took an ax, knocked in the
heads of his wine casks and let the
wine run out. The moment he did
this, his tongue was loosened; he began
to pray, and quiet took possession
of his own soul.

who was eciled to Sinkiaug on account
of tho connection with the
Boxer upheaval, is living comfortably
when he is supposed to be in close
confinement. The Duke is using the
Chekiang Guild House as his residence,
which he regarded as too
small, so he built a garden on the
ground adjacent to it. He is allowed
a monthly grant for his maintenance,
which he draws from the treasury.
The prisoner always goes out in an
official chair borne by four persons,
with a large number of bodyguards,
and he is also fond of theatrical performances.
The officials from the
Governor downward are in the habit
of going to his house to pay their respects

TERRIBLE ITCHING.
Eczema Affected Whole System?Unable

4 l'ears?Cutieura Cures.
"1 suffered severely lor tour years irom
poison oak and ivy. My condition was
serious, as i could not rest night or day
and be free from a terrible itching sensation
from scratching on ray hands between
the fingers, my teet and face, and eczema
followed. My eyesight was affected, and 1
went to a hospital especially for the eyes
and got relief, but eczema got a terrible
hold on my system. I was about to give up
all hope of ever being cured, yet i could
not be reconciled to such results, as my
health had been good and free from nny
disease all my lite. My age ia seventy-three
years. In iny extremity 1 happened to
read of Cuticura Kennedies lor skin diseases.
1 bought five boxes Cuticura Ointment,
also some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Pills as 1 required them. In four
weeks' treatment my face was smooth, and
the itching gradually left my bands and
feet and 1 could rest comfortably, for
which 1 am grateful and happy. \V. Field

Sizing Fp a Town.
If ycu were going to investigate ft
location, wouldn't your first step be
to send for copies of the local papers
and study their advertisements? Ia
no other way coulcl you put yonr
finger so quickly and sureiy on the
pulse of trade. You could tell much
more easily than by walking through
the streets whether it was a live town
er a dead one, and just what forms of
business were most active.
And if you judge another town In
this way?how about your own??

Use of Tea. *
Our conclusions with regard to tea
are that its original popular use as a
stimulating beverage with breakfast , -
is justified and harmless, but that its
indiscriminate consumption with meat
food3 or during proteid digestion is
likely to be harmful. China tea, on
account of its less tannic acid content,
1o Icac harmful than TnrHn ton flnr
results with ginger beer showed that
this beverage was practically without
influence upon digestion. ? London
