Mr. Wilson is anticipating his return to this country and is preparing for some important conferences prepara- tory to deciding some of the vital questions which are before him. He has for that reason requested William J. Bryan to confer with him, consid- ering him one of the leaders of the party. Unquestionably, Mr. Wilson plans to consult freely with other of the party counselors, such as Under- wood and Clark. How he is going to handle the situation and keep all the factions satisfied is one of his great problems. How Messrs. Clark and TUnderwood are going to look upon this part which Mr. Bryan is likely to play in the administration remains to be seen. He won a great fight at Baltl- more, and naturally Mr. Wilson looks to him for help and guidance, and it matiers little to Bryan what the others think. Even should he get a cabinet place, which seems possible, the strained relations with the other par- 1y leaders need not affect him. Much responsibility, however, rests upon the president-elect. It is his task to get things to working in har- mony if possible and the question is whether he can unite the warring ele- ments of the party. There are many to be consuited for the best interests of the organizatfon, and many doubt- less feel the same as do Underwood and Clark, and would not take kindly the showing of favoritism to Bryan Mr. Wilson will doubtless find that he must be a peacemaker as well as pres- ident. DISPOSING OF SEWAGE, The disposal of sewage 18 a question which is interesting not only all the large citles but there are many among what may be called the smaller cities which find that much harm comes rom the emptying of the sewage into rivers, This 1s noted in & number of ways and limits the use of the water and has a harmful effect upon the fish and bi- valves therein.

The aggregate will reach 35 ion dollars, or four 'billion more than in 1910. Nearly a!ll the import- ant countries show larger totals than inany earlier year. Imports were in- creased in most of them, though France, Argentina, Mexico and Russia show decreases, but on exports prac- tically all show increases. The total value of imports into the 70 principal countries and colonies of the world in 1911 approximated 17 millfon dol- lars. Deducting from this the imports of the United States leaves a total of sixteen billion dollars as the value of the foreign market in which the American products and manufactures may be sold. It is a significant fact that two bfl- lion, or one-eighth of the entire mount of imports into forelgn coun- tries came from this country. taking the largest of imports from us are Haitl, Hondu- ras, Santo Domingo, Canada, Panama, Mexico, Cuba and Costa Rica. The United Kingdom takes 17.3 per cent. of her imports from us, representing 372 million dollars, Canada taking 285 | milllon; Germa: per cent. or 283 million dolNars’ worth of its buy- ing is done here, while France comes here for 119 m d s" worth of goods. - Russia, Brazil, Australia, Jap- an and Belgium also get millions of their imports from here, and through- out the smaller countries more or less American product is scattered.

Un- told thousands have died without comprehending the beauty gnd force of the word “charity” which is so often prated and so little understood. St. Paul telis us what charity is, and in his epistle to the Corinthians he says: “Faith, hope and charity—the greatest of these is charity”; this, too, in face ‘of the fact that “thy faith makes thee whole!” Charity is complete, many think, when they have put a doliar in the contribution box and passed a quarter to the poor. Charity does more than cover a multitude of sins, for when completely exploited it com- prehends the ten commandments and the golden rule. Charity is a check to envy, jealousy and prejudice, a slayer of gossip and scandal—a purifier of the mind. It makes the way clear for faith to make you whole and for hope %o brightly illumine the soul; and the way 1|{in which Paul phrased these three great forces—“Faith, hope and char- the greatest of these is charity,” tllustrates how the first may be last and the last first—the first in import- ance, not in arrival.

We have given thanks for ®il the iessings of 1912, and what a feast We gave good dinners to the poor and prepared great feasts for ourselves; and too many of us thanked God for His bounty, and at once pro- ceeded to do ourselves harm by a dis- play of what would be gluttony if we kept it up.

Some people do not know what to be thank- ful for when there are twelve months between Thanksgivings—they know nothing about_the thanksgiving habit. Life, love and happiness are worthy of daily prayer and daily gratitude. It is no joke to be thankful because things ‘are no worse. Those who feel the emotion of thankfulness only oc- casionally, get only half out of lifa there is in it for them. We are all delighted with this open fall weather and remark upon it as ptional, just as though we were un that November is the Indian summer month, or that the frost seldom becomes severe before Thanks- giving, which is seldom safe skating time on deep water.

November is the month of abundant stores and grateful hearts, We should not talk about true friend- ship if there was no such thing as counterfeit friendships: and when well along in life many of us are prompted to ‘ask ourselves seriously, “What is friendship?” A great deal of it rubs off; it must have love in it to prove indelible. It is not so long ago that a newspaper offered a prize for the best definition of the word Friend: first' one who comes in after the whole world has gone out,” got the money. The mercenary form false friendships to promote their interests, and so do the ambitious. The art of making and keeping friends is far from being a mean art. Some people owe most of their success in life to it. The initia- tive to one f friendship is this mental inqu “What is there in it ?” They who become a friend se a friend was needed are the only ones who find out what there is in friendship of worth. The friend in need is the friend in deed; and yet the agreeable social friend is a real asset when we come to sum up the bless- ings of life. Perhaps we might truly say all are our friends who are not our enemies, What is the matter with the people? Just what is the matter with you and 1? We know that people talk as if they believed in the Divine promises and a future life, and then live and act as if they do not believe it. This creates an atmosphere of doubt which is just as natural as fog on an October morn- ing. The fog and,the storm Were not designel to abide ‘together—doubt and sincerity were never designed to co- operate. There is an absence of faith in the integrity of men—hence, in the value of institutions. set up by men. | Yes, this is what is the matter with | the people in their relation to the church.

It strikes me that the popular live man may be dead te the very es- sentials of existence. The liveliest man makes but a smaill stir in the world even in this day of speedy in- tercommunieation and wireless mar- | conigrams.

He was willing to work and large of his age, well built. The honest, faithful look in his brown eyes gained favor for him with the proprietor of the farmst who answered his question W “Work!

So well did he work that he was asked to remain for the season, to his great delight. The farmer's wife at first objected to his remaining, because of his na- tionality, “No good in those foreign- ers,” was her opinion. “You never can trust them, and I'm afraid he will not be clean.” But he was soon taught to be clean, and was so faithful in hi work and so evidently happy in his new home that she soon found him a pleasure instead of a terror. She mended for him and teok a motherly interest in him, advising him with re- gard to his purchases for his wardrobe. and gave him many a hint as to man- ners and speech, which he immediate- Iy put into practice.

He was set to work cracking nuts and popping corn for the little folks who were to be there. For them, too, the cookie pails were filled to the brim, and Grandma hurried about, merry and happy as a child herself, directing the labors of those who were assisting her for the time, The reddest apples were selected and set aside for the occasion, and nothing must be overlooked which could add to the pleasure of the ex- pected guests.

Especially when it has burned low, to coax it back to a blaze requires patience and even a degree of skill, The scattered pieces must be arranged to advantage, draft created, and the coals blown up- on till the smoking pile yields to the inevitable and leaps into flame. It were fortunate if we could as easily revive interests and purposes in our lives that have burned low. The problem with many a man or woman past 40 say, is to keep into mature years the zest of youth, The rekind- ling of smoldering enthusiasms be- comes a difficult but important task with no small number of us. Few people, other than actual physi- cal sufferers, merit more sympathy than those who have outliveq their en- thusiasms. They are bereft of a prime source of contentment. A blase spirit 1s a heavy burden. A heart that has ceased to thrill to the beauty of the world or anticipate the activities of each new day as it comes turns all scenes to drab. It we are to “come back” as regards our mental and spiritual interests we | must be willing resolutely to pay the cost of a cure. If men will g0 to Mul- doon's to labor and sweat for their physfcal rejuvenation they should not balk at as hard a discipline in be- haif of their spiritual welfare. Most of our enthusiasms perish be- cauge of our sloth. The fire burns low because the fuel has gdven out or the chimney has been allowed to clog with | soot. No fire does well that is neglect- ed and no enthusiasm, however lusty, will survive if left to its fate. If one would keep the spirit of peren- nial youth, let him cultivate the ac- quaintance and sympathize with the enterprises of young people. The youngsters who think, read, play and “do things” will do much to keep him out of a “rut which differs from a grave only in its depth.” A bald head of 50 who sinks into his morris chair every evening after supper and begins to yawn for bed at 8.30 o’clock, had better go out occasionally and help the Boy Scouts ‘tie sailer’s knots or rig their wireless telegraph on top of the high school building.
