The second gift is that of moral inspiration. There are many sordid, selfish and sinful lives about us. Can we not lift them up? We can give them moral inspiration. There is but one way we can really help humanity that “is to bring the moral or spiritual inspira- tion into crippled lives. Many want to be better, but do not know how toreach the goal. We are to help them, reach their ideals and make life worth living. The third gift is that of sympathy. _This is more than love—it is love In action. It means the putting of ourselves in the other man’s place. Christ, but it is difficult to get down and touch them. The fourth gift is that of Christian life. The other gifts are good, but this is the crown. To bring others into the range of Christian exper- ience is the highest of all priveleges. The power which Peter and John possessed did not originate with them—it was not their own, nor did they claim it to be. It was the power of Jesus of Nazareth. There was in them the complete hiding of the worker behind the work. We want the Christ to be exalted in our lives, that we may present him to the world and the world see him rather than us. Address of Dr. Saltau. theme: ‘“The Twofold Gift.” God has bestowed two great gifts upon humanity. First is his only begotten Son and second the Holy Spirit. The first is to the world, that the world may be saved. The second is to the church, that it may do the work to which it is called. The purpose of the first gift is the atonement and to reveal the father to the world through the Son. Jesus deals with our external diffi- culties; the Holy Spirit with the in- ternal. In the external difficulties the sinner is in his sins and dreads God’s penalties for violation of his laws. The work of Christis a finished work, the work of the Holy Spirit unfinished. Why is the Holy Spirit needed? Why is there weakness, frailness and helplessness on the part of God’s people? Because they have not fully grasped the great truth that they are made for takers of the Divine nature, in contrast to the The We want to see men brought, to the human nature. Moisture Proof.

VILAS. Madison, Wis., July %).—The condi- Yon of Colonel William F. Vilas, who ‘Was stricken with hemorrhage of the brain a week ago, shows little im- provement. —_— “The commission,” the statement 8ays, “has no' authority to suspend a proposed advance in rates and can order reduction of the advanced rates only as the result of an investigation after the advanced rates have become effective; but the commission, while it could make no effective order prior to the actual advancing of the rates, has almost unlimited power of investi- gation and it is understood that if the tariffs filed with the commission show general increases the commission, without waiting for the filing of for- mal complaints, will institute an in- vestigation on its own motion for the purpose of determining whether or not the advances are justified. Such general information would enable it to handle very promptly any com- plaint which may be filed against ad- vanced rates. “The commission is having a close check made of all advances in freight rates. The commission, of course, has no official information of the pro- posed advances until they are set forth in tariffs, which are required by law to be filed with the commission thirty days in advance of their effec- tive date. So far the principal ad- vances disclosed in the tariffs flled are in the rates on packing house products, grain and - grain products from Ohio river crossings to South- eastern territory, ranging from 2 to 4 cents per hundred pounds, according to the commodity; rates on sugar from Atlantic seaboard points and New Orleans to Chicago, Duluth, St. Paul and other Northwestern points of 2 cents per hundred pounds; class rates from Mississippi river points and Kansas City to Texas common points, ranging from 10 cents on first class to 4 cents on the lowest class.” May Combine Small Shipments. Washington, July 2)—The inter- state commerce commission has de- cided that shippers might combine small quantities of freight of various ownership either by arrangement among themselves or through the me- dium of the forwarding agency and ship the combined lot at the relatively lower rates applicable to large ship- ments. HISGEN AND HOWARD SEEK FIRST PLAGE lndepemlsnce League Gonven- tion Moets at Chicago. Chicago, July 23.—The national con- vention of the Independence league was called to order at 8 o’clock Mon- day evening in Orchestra hall. Thomas L. Hisgen of Massachusetts and Milton W. Howard of Fort Payne, Ala, seem to be the leading candi- dates for the presidential nomina- tion. Mr. Hisgen is strongly support- ed by the Eastern delegations, while the South and portions of the West are inclined towards Mr. Howard. The fight is open and, according to Mr. Hearst and other men prominent in the organization, the nomination will not be dictated or influenced in any manner. The platform to be adopted will, it i8 expected, contain a radical declara- tlon in favor of an anti-injunction measure. It is the expressed belief of many of the delegates to the present convention that the declarations of the Republican and Democratic par- ties on the injunction question were feeble and indefinite. It is asserted that the Independence platform will not be open to this criticism. Charles R. Walsh of Iowa, who for & number of years was secretary of the Democratic national committee, will be permanent chairman of the convention. It is probable that Clar- ence J. Shearn of New York will be made chairman of the resolutions committee. LIGHTNING KILLS CHILD. Mother Also in Serlou; Condition as Result of Stroke. Mason City, Ta, July 28—Minnie Baker, aged three years, is dead and ber mother, Mrs. Albert Baker, is in a serious condition as a result of a lightning stroke during a storm which swept over the country a few miles west of Forest City.

TAIKS T0 IOWA PEOPLE Declares the Democrats Have the -Ar- guments of President Roosevelt and Reform Republicans to Use in the Pending Campaign—Says Chizago Platform Does Not Endorse All the Roosevelt Policies. Stewart, Ia., July 2 .—The Repub- lcan leaders of congress were round- ly scored by William J. Bryan here in the course of an address to several hundred persons assembled at the sta- tion to greet him upon his arrival. Mr. Bryan spoke from the rear plat- form of his car. He said that he had never believed everything depended upon legislation, for, he said, there is a sphere in which the individual, and he alone, can determine his own pros- “perity. But legislation can advance or retard progress and can help or harm conditions. .There were, he ar- gued, many reforms that needed to be applied and the Democrats had the advantage of being able to use argu- ments that had been made by reform Republicans in favor of nearly all the principles Democrats advocated. More than that, he said, we have the speeches of the president to prove to you that there are things that need to be done and we have the action of congress to prove to you that Repub- lican leaders will not allow these things to be done. The president, he declared, had been doing educational work, but his convention would not go as far as he went. In fact, it would scarcely go at all. In order to accomplish anything the people must have the co-operation of the senate and house and as far as the Chicago convention was concerned, he said, it gave no assurance that the Repub- lican leaders would assist in any ma- terial reforms. In conclusion he said: “I recognize that people would rather secure reforms through their own' party, but I also recognize that when one is sick he is more interested in getting well than he is in the fam- ily physician and so when you find that your party will not do what is necessary to be done you should come and help us to do what is necessary to be done.” Bryan Rides the Goat. Omaha, July {3—When William J. Bryan, the Democratic nominee for the presidency, arrived in Omaha from Chicago he was met by a committee representing the Knights of Ak-sar- ben, a secret order of Omaha business men, who gave him a banquet and later in the evening initiated him .as a member. Hope to Recover Stolen Money. Kansas City, July 2i—Postoffice officlals claim to have obtained posi- tive proof that Charles Stevens, the negro arrested here Saturday charged with having stolen a mail pouch con- taining $50,000 from the Union sta- tion three weeks ago, is the man wanted. TInspector Vickery, during a severe “sweating” of the prisoner, ob- tained evidence that it is believed wil} lead up to the finding of the greater part of the stolen money. {ARE YOU WRETGHED IN BAD WEATHER?
