H AWKINS & CO4 THE POOR OF BERLIN HOW THEY ARE SUPERVISED BY THE CITY AUTHORITIES. Begging Is Not to Be Seen on the Streets of tihe City, and Rags and 31isery Dare Not Lie About In the Parks and Public Places. "What," I exclaimed in Berlin, "are there no poor in this city? Are you al together without rags and wretched nessY' "My dear friend," said the German, winking a heavy eyelid, "we are a very clever people. We do not show our! dust bins. Berlin is ruled by municipal experts. It has its wretchedness and its despair, but these things are not permitted to increase. To be out of work in Berlin is a crime, even as it is in London, but with this difference-in Berlin the mu nicipality legislates for labor in a fash ion which makes idleness all but inde fensible. The laws to this end may not com I mend themselves to English minds, for the Germans are not soft hearted in such matters, but they have this en gaging recommendation, they succeed. Let a ragged man make his appear ance in Friedrichstrasse or the Lindens or in any of the numerous open spaces, and a policeman is at him in a min ute. "Your papers!" demands the man of law. The beggar produces his docu ments. If it is proved that he has slept in the asylum for the homeless more than a certain number of nights he is forthwith conducted, willynilly, to the workhouse and made to labor for his board and lodging. Now, the workhouse in Germany is not a prison,.but the vagrant would as leave go to the one as to the other. The administration of the workhouse is conducted with iron severity. Ev ery ounce of bread and every drop of thin soup consumed by the workhouse man is paid for a thousandfold by the sweat of his brow. So it comes about that the man least disposed to work, the born vagabond, finds it more agreeable to toil for his bread in the market than to fall into the hands of a paternal government. Berlin takes advantage of the sys tem in Germany which numbers and tickets every child born in the father land. No man can roam from district to district, changing his name and his life's story with every flitting. He is known to the police from the hour of his birth to the hour of his death. For a few pfennigs I can read the history of every person in Berlin. Therefore the municipality has an easy task. Ev ery citizen's life story is known to them, and every vagrant is punished for his crime against the community. Moreover, every person of humble means is insured by the state. Even clerks, shop assistants and servants are compelled to insure against sick ness and against old'age. This insur ance is effected by the pasting into a book of certain stamps every week, and it is the duty of- each employer to see that this contract is faithfully obeyed. And the state has. at Beelitz an enormous sanitarium costing 10, 000,000 marks (+500,000), where the in valided citizen is sent with his pen sion in order to expedite his valuable return to the ranks of the wage earn ers. It pays the city of Berlin to nurse its sick and cherish its invalids. The whole object of the municipality is to secure the physical and intellectual well being of its citizens, and on this task it concentrates its labors with amazing energy. Berlin has a huge building resem bling a factory where the unemployed, whole families, are received and pro vided for, but no one must take advan tage of this hospitality more than five times in three months. Consider this point of view. If you are homeless five times in three months you are dubbed a reckless creature and packed off to the workhouse. Private enterprise has provided another asylum where the homeless may come five times in one month and where the police are not al lowed to enter at night. I have visited this place and seen the people who at tend it, some decent. enough, others criminal in every line of their faces. There are many of these desperate men in Berlin, many of these dirty, ragged and unhappy wretches, doomed from the day of their birth, but they dare not show themselves in the decent world as they do in London. They slink into these asylums at 5 o'clock, they have their clothes disinfected; thev cleanse themselves under shower baths; they eat bread and drink soup, and then they go to bed at S o'clock like prisoners to their cells. Now, this system is a hard one, for when once a man gets down in Berlin It is almost Impossible for him to rise. But it has this clear advantage-every body feels that it is better to work than to fall into the hands of the law. Rags and misery dare not lie about in the parks or scatter disease through the crowded streets. If there is any virtue in the unemployed the state will certainty develop it as well as it is pos :sible to do so. There is a central bu reau for providing men with work, and when a man knows that not to work means the workhouse he solicits em ployment here and elsewhere with such a will as almost compels wages. In one year the state has secured employ ment for 50,000 men. The oitizen is provided with sanitary dwellings, with unadulterated food, with schools and technical colleges and with insurance for sickness and old age. For a penny lie can travel almost from one end of Berlin to the other by electric tramway or electric railway. Kis streets are clean, brilliantly light ed and noisele 's; his cafes and music halls are innumerable. He lives in a palace. And all this is the result of municipal government by experts in sted of by amateurs.-Londonl Mail. CASTOR IA For Tnfants and Children, The ikind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of , ,~4 $4 Value of Decayed Forests. The decayed vegetation of forests "has furnished to the fields their present -fertility, upon which man depends for food. In the tree growth of virgin woods and in the floor of rotted foliage beneath are stored the accumulations of centuries. Nature does not care whether this growth is useful to the human race or not. It is left for us to encourage the growth of such trees as we find valuable to the exclusion of others. Thus an economical use is made of the resources at hand, and a new conception of the forest arises. The forest primeval becomes "woodlands." while the new "forest" includes only THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON VI, SECOND QUARTER, INTER NATIONAL SERIES, MAY 7. Text of the Lesson, John xv. 1-12. Memory VerseN. 5, G-Golden Text, John xv, S-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright. 1905, by American pIess AsODciation.] Unless we include in our meditations much that the lesson committee has felt led to omit we shall have had but a very small glimpse of the life and teaching of our blessed Lord. Here, for example, we have but one brief lesson in the most wonderful of all His discourses and one lesson from the greatest of all recorded prayers-two lessons from what has been well called "the holy of holies of all Scripture." le had eaten with His disciples the Passover which He so much desired to eat with them before He suffered. He had Instituted.the supper by which we are to show His death till He come, He had girded Himself and had wash ed their feet, teaching them to do to one another as lie had done to them, and now in these last words He opened to them His heart as never before and prayed for them and for us who be lieve on Him through their word. Knowing all that was before Him that night and on the morrow, He seemed to forget Himself in His desire to com fort and strengthen them. Could there possibly be more helpful words for all believers at all times, as sured that in the world- we shall have tribulation, than the opening words of this discourse. "Let not your heart be troubled," and, again, "Let not your heart be troubled; neither let It be afraid" (xiv, 27), reminding us of .att. xxiv, 0, "Ye shall bear of wars and ru mors of wars; sle that ye be not trou bled?" What roire powerful testimony to our oneness with the risen Christ can there be than an untroubled heart in the midst of trouble? We have heard Him say, "I am the Light of the wo'ld," "I am the good Shepherd," "I am the Door," "I am the Living Bread which came down from hearea," "1 am the Way and the Truth and the Life," but now He uses a new figure. "I am the true Vine," taking.us back by contrast to such words as "The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is -the house of Israel and the men of Judah His. pleasant plant," and "Israel is an empty vine; he bringeth forth fruit unto himself" (Isa. v, 7; Hos. x, 1). Here Is the true Israel, the Vine that never brought forth fruit unto Himself, never pleased Himself, never sought His own will nor His own glory, and He tells us that we are branches-In Him, to bear much fruit, that the Fa ther, the Husbandman, may be glori fied. - Let us remember that He Is alone with the eleven, to whom He had said, "Ye are clean" (xiii, 10), and again in verse 3 of our lesson, "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you." These are true branches in the true Vine and can nev er perish (Jo'i.i x, 27-29). There are those who, l'ough they may seem to us to be bra aches, are not and.never were branches any more than Judas Iscarot. Such go out in due time, be cause they were never really in the Vine or the fold. They are* plants which were never planted by God the Father (I John ii, 19; Mlatt. xv, 13). But there are true branches in the true Vine which do not bring forth fruit unto God. They are spoken of-in I Car. 21I, 15, as having their works burned and they themselves saved as by fire or in I Car. v, 5, as having the flesh destroyed that the spirit.may. be saved in the da~y of the Lord-.Jesus. Possibly those in I Car. x1, 30, who were weak and sickly and dying before their time are in the same class. Instead of this, which'may. be the ex perience of many, but need notibe the experience of any, It is the desreof our heavenly Father that we bear'fruit, mre fruit, much fruit, to His .glory. Patiently He waits year after year, looking far fruit and doing all He.can to get It before He ordei-s ithe tree cut down or the branch taken away (Luke xiii, 0-9), but If the self life persistent ly predominates the order Is-finally giv en, and men are often the-instruments in His hand to remove and burn the branches or cut down the tree. Let us take heed and abide. How simply and easily the branches in a vine under the skill and care of a husbandmnan .bear fruit! There is no struggle, no effort, but just a yielding to the wise care which Drunes and causes to bleed and ties up here and there, so as to obtain' the desired fruit. What, then, is this abiding which is so essential and without which all is noth ing? (Verse 5.) If it Is not by effort, how is it? I know nothing better than the thought given forth by Hudson Taylor on one occasion that it is weak ness and not strength that abides. The child that is too weak to climb out of the crib is found by its mother just where she put it. "His strength is made perfect In our weakness." As we look more closely we note that there is an abiding In His love and in His wrd (verses 7, 9). The first step is to believe firmly. "The Son of God loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal. ii, 20)- "Hie hath redeemed me from the curse of the law, being made a curse for me" (Gal. iii, 13). "He who spared not His own Son * ** will with Him also freely give jus all things" (Rom. viii, ii2). These firm foundations being well grasped or built upon, the daily life is just con tnuing to believe these and similar frths, and such believers will be filled with joy, and the Spirit will work out the fruit of righteousness (Rom. xv. 13; Phil. 1, 11). It is believing all through, yielding, trusting,.obeying and God workingsin uis both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. ii, 13). Not an Odious Comparison. The head clerk had been invited to an afternoon wvedding and in order to save time appeared at the office in the morning fully "groomed" for the cere mny. As he threw aside his over coat he was disclosed in all the majes ty of a swagger frock coat of the latest cut, gray trousers fashionably creased, patent leather shoes and white puff tie. His position in the office made him immune from comnients by the under lings. who, however, regarded him with seri comic admiration and longed to say what they felt. But the barrier was broken a few minutes after the day's business had begun and by a friend who dropped in for a moment's chat. H~e was some what lacking in dignity, for which the clerks blessed hinm. Good morning, George," he said cheerily to the head. clerk. Then as he took a second glance at the sartorial "dream" he added: "Great Scott! What's up? You look like a certified check." And even the head clerk joined in the general burst of laughter.--New GOOD POTATOES BRING FANCY PRICES To grow a large crop of food potatoes, the soil must contain plen O otas t Tomatoes melons cabbage, turnips, lettsce --itt fact, all vegetales remaove large Quanti ties of Potash from the soil.
