FINE GIFT TO A NOTED BUSINESS
MAN.
It was said of a mythical river in
Lydia, the Pactolus, that one would
find that the sands were gold, once
tae river were discovered. The sculp
tor Picault has sought to fllustrate, in
a striking and attractive design in
bronze, his conception of the real
source of gold. The figure, which is
three feet high, represents Industry,
the real discoverer of gold in the
waters. This masterplece was pre
sented to Mr. C. W. Post, president
of the Citizens' Industrial Associa
tion of America, at a banquet in Bat

Needles, Pins, and Hooks and Eyes.
According to the census of 1905,
forty-six establishments made a spec
falty of manufacturing one or more
varleties of needles, pins, or hooks
and eyes, These establishments re
ported a capital of 85,331,939, 3965
wage carners, wages amounting to
$1,606,923, and products valued at
$4,750,689. Almost equal numbers |
of men and women were engaged in
this industry, the numbers being 1,-
862 and 1880, respectively,
In addition a number of f:\(‘t:n’lns!
produced quantities of these articles
without specializing on thom. The
total output amounted to 1,766,073
gross of needles, valued at $1,618,-
411, and pins valued at $2,632,6586,
a total value of $4,151,067 for both
classes of products,
The leading variety of needles
manufactured was sewing machine
needles, with a production of 776,-
642 gross, valued at $600,046. Lateh
knitting machine needles were next
in rank in importance, the 310,846
gross of such needles being valued at
$422,655. More spring knitting
machine needlos (332,788 /ross)
were manufactured, but their value
was considerably less ($118,223).
Large quantities of each variety of
pins were produced-—132,632,289
gross of common or toilet pins, 2.,
660,600 gross of safety pins, and 1,-

Explaining the Aflirmative,
The late Senator Gorman, of Mary
land, for many years the leader of
ithe Democrats in the United States
Senate, has a son, Arthur Pue Gor
man, Jr.,, who is in politics also.
Young Gorman was a trusted lieu
tenant of his father. Once the elder
Gofman told him to go to a place
'in Maryland, look into a certain con
dition and, if he found things all
right, to telegraph him the single
word “Yes.” The boy did his er
rand, found things all right and
wired his “Yes” to his father at
Washington. Senator Gorman was
much engrossed in some important
measure and, for the moment, forgot
what he had told his son to do. He
read that single word “Yes” a dozen
times and could make nothing of it,
¢0 he sent a telegram to his son read
ing:
Yes, what?”
Young Gorman, harking back te
his early lessons of parental respect,
promptly wired back: ‘“Yes, sir.”’—

Computing Tape Measure.
A computing tape measure, which
provides a simple and convenient
means for ascertaining weights and
measures without employing calcula
tions of any kind, is shown in the il
lustration below. It is especially use
ful in determining the weight per foot
of tubes, pipes, bars and rods. The
computing measure is formed by two
or more tapes, arranged side by side.-
‘The one shown here, to be used in
ascertaining the weights of pipes,
has two tapes, one containing figures
to indicate the diameters of the pipe
and the other the weights per foot of
pipes of ,dlflc;ent diameters. The
‘measure 18 uses u%«- i)
a pipe having an Internal diameter
2% fnches and an external diameter
2% Inches, the upper tape is drawn
out until the figures 2% appear at
the edge of the slot. Both tapes are
then drawn out together until the
figures 27, representing the external
diameter of the pipe or tube, appear
on the upper tape. The weight per
foot is indicated by the figure on the
lower tape directly below the figures
2%. To determine the weight of a
solid or cylindrical rod, both tapes are

F THE PULPIT.
AN ELCQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE DEY. J. E. ADAMS.
;fslbjccl: Man's Part in Ged's Plan.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—ln the Ross
Btreet Presbyterian Church, corner
es Wilson street, the pastor, the
Rev. John Erskine Adams, preached
Sunday morning cn ‘‘Man’s Part in
God’s Plan.”” The tezt was from Ro
mans 8:28: “And we know that to
them that love God all things work
tolgether for good.” Mr. Adams
said:
The Apostle Paul has heen called
a fatalist. Perhaps, in Jate years,
he has been the object of more dis
| cussion and criticism than any other
New Testament writer. Preacher
and pew alike have striven to under
mine his system of theology. They
have sought to avoid many of the
fundamentals of his faith. They
have &old»us that it is high time we
should come into a larger concep
tion of the ethics of Christ’s life,
and a lessening sense of the im
portance of His death. They say
that much of His writings was for
the Jew and couched in such figurative
language that the Jew alone could
understand and appreciate, and ac
cordingly, He dweltatlength upon the
typical and sacrificial rather than
upon the practical and ethical. And
in the chapter from which our text
is taken we seem to have presented
the horrible doctrine of predestina
tion, a doctrine which by many is ac
cepted as synonymonus with a fatalis
tic creed which eliminates man’s
free agency and subjects all things
to an incontrovertible and change
less law of necessity. T wish to show
you, if possible, to-day, how different
was Paul’s conception of our rela
tion to God and God’s relation to us.
Let us not doubt that Paul had
absolute convietions that in all
things God’s will would be accom
plished. But let us not doubt, also,
that he had absoiute convictions that
men must become co-workers with
God in the ount-workings of the di
vine plan. There was one occasion
when he fully illustrates these
traths. It is when, as a prisoner,
he is being brought to Rome to stand
before Caesar. This is the meszage
of revelation to him. In this he
sees the will of God. With this pur
pose he has nothing to do. He may
not modify it nor change it. He
resigns himself to it. Nothinz
can prevent its accomuplishment. 1t
is God’s will that he should come to
Rome. But shipwreck threatens.
The ship on which he is captive is
overtaken with disaster. Fog, storm,
darkness, danger, all seem to indi
_cate the defeat of the divine plan.
It seems as if all on board must be
destroyed. And again, the divine
- will is' manifest. Paul is assured of
safety for himself and all on board
that ship. But what does he do?
Does he, in view of this assurance,
make no eifort to avoid the dangers
‘and overcome the difficulties? Does
he meekly resign himself and his
shipmates to the inevitable? By no
means. He becomes a co-operator
‘with God in the tt_&tfl}!m&n; of His
purpose. He heartens! all on board
‘that ship. He feads them. He as
sures them of safety; but of safety
only as they use every precaution,
‘as they overcome treachery; as they
strive with all courage and persis
‘tence to save themselves and their
ship. He says to the Centurion and
the soldiers who had him in convey,
when the feav-stricken szamen
would have sought escape in a small
boat: ‘“‘Except thess abide in the
- ship, ve cannot be saved.” In other
words, he couples human endeavor,
courage and skill with divine prom.
| ise and protection, And so, deliver
ance is wrought, All things were
to work together for good; but in
that result one of the essential fae
tors must be human couirage and
fidelity. The sun shines to-day for
me, for all the world. That is cer
tain. Nought we can do may pre
vent its shining. But it only shines
for me as I open my eves to recaive
its light. It is in mv power to keep
my eyes shut, if I will.
Paul declares in this chanter that
nothing can separate us from the
love of Christ; neither tribulation,
distress, persecution, famine, naked
ness, peril, sword, principalities,
powers, things present, things to
come; none of these things shall in
terfere with the keeving, saving
power of God's love, in Christ. And
vet, we hear him on another ocecasion
fearing, lest, having preached to
‘others as a minister of God's grace,
he himself might be a ~astaway. He
lives again, he says; vet not he, but
Christ in him; and still he is using
all the powers of determination and
will to keep his body under, to re
strain it; to make it perfectly re
sponsive to the control and ordering
of God. To Pau!, this life is a con
stant struggle; a warfare against
princivalities and powers, with
wickedness enthroned; it is a race
in which, if he would win, he must
strain every nerve and siretch every
muscle and lay aside every weighs,
and the sin which so casily hesets;
he must run with patience, with per
sistence, looking to Jesus. That
gives us the idea exactly. Use all
Your own power, looking to Jesus,
as your example, inspiration, stimu
lus and strength, I§ he wrote the
letter to the Hebrews, and whether
he did or another of the saints is
immateria!, the principle is the
same; he made out a list there of
men and of women who were in
God's keeping, and yet wrought,
achieved, suffered, triumphed,
through the exercise of dauntless
courage and of splendid faith. And
80 we are led to say that Paul's
conception of life was that of al
lance with God, He was destined
of divinity for high achievement.
This is not pride, it is not egotism,
save of the right sort. All great men
have lived and achieved under this
conception and in this thought. The
men who have don 2 things have
done them because they have known
themseives called of God for achieve
ment. They are in the divine plan;
they are also agents in its carrying
on and out. Under this impulse,
David went forth from the sheep
fold to the sceptre. With the an
ointing oil of the prophet upon him,
he waged his battles against the
Philistines and conguered. Under
\
this impulse, Savonarola cchieved.
Under this impulse John Knox
wrouzht, defying throngs and dev
ils. Lincoln and Washington were
'the men they were, and did the
things they did because they were
allied with God, and through their
personality expressed the divine pur
‘poss and power. It was because of
their certainty that God was above
'them and in them, and that right
}would triumph, that thev went stead
ily forward to accomplish the high
‘mission of their lives. We are told
by Plutarch that Julius Caesar, on a
night of storm, crossing a channel
in a light, open beat, quieted t'he
alarm of the oarsmen who were with
him by telling them: “Pluck up your
courage; you carry Casesar.” This
great Roman bezlieved in his des
tiny. A secrst presentiment bade
him believe that he was born for a
notable career. He had power, he
had resource, but abeve all, a pro
found belief in his star. The man
who has not such a faith is to be
pitied.
We all need such a vision. With
out it we perish. Aspiration is in
spiration. Let us not be deterred
from building our castles, though
they are in the air. Perchance God
will help us lay the foundations
under them and make them real and
strong and permanent. The man
who says: I must and, God helping
me, I can, is the man who has con
fllence in himself to do something
that no cne else can do, and that
otherwise will remain undone.
How wonderfully God holds ter
rific energies in leash and under con
trol subject to the gradual outwork
ing of Hig perfect idea for the chil
dren of men. In the realm of nature
all things, work together for good.
The sun, which hasg.in it heat suffi
cient to consime our little world in
a fragment of time, nurses to a ful
ler life by its gentie caress the ten
der lily and the modest violet. It
touches them and evokes their deli
cate aroma; it puts the roses into
the cheek of the child and the song
into the throat of the nightingale as
it soars and sings to the clouds. It
is true that so well do we understand
the constructive forces of nature,
that it furnishes bus a trite subject
for our consideration. But under
neath all physical manifestations
and phenomena, let us believe there
is moral purpose. Nature is Ged’s
great temple in which His voice is
heard. It was through nature’s sub
limity that David realized man’s dig
nity. Above all nature, next to God,
stands man, And for him all phy
sical foreces are in harmony and
work together for his good. And
as with nature, so in history. As
in the roaring of the seas and the
clash of the elemenis the atmos
phere we breathe is cleansed and we
enter into more vigorous life. So
the wars, which seemingly speil
ruin; tha crumbling of nations,
which spells corruption:; through all
storm and revolution, through shock
and tempest, God is leading the, sons
of men out into larger life, and
bringing on the brighter and better
day.
Ard, finally, human experience
testifies to the same truth. We are
told that on one occasion Napoleon
was shut up in an island’ of the
Danube, hemmed in by the Arch
duke Charles. He was able to main
tain himself there, but he sent word
to Italy and Spain and France, and
he ordered his marshal with such
‘minuteness that every day’s march
was perfect. All over the north of
France, and from the extreme south
of Spain and Portugal, the corps
were, all of them, advancing, and
day by day coming nearer and near
er. Not one of them, on the march,
had any idea what was the final pur
pose, and why they were being or
dered to the central point. But on
the day the master appointed the
head of the columns appeared in
~very direction. Then it was that
ke was able to break forth from his
bondage and roll back the tide of
war. How like our life, as it moves
on, to the ¢commiand of the Master.
lis forces seem confused to us, with
and cohesion, ofttimes antagonistic.
Jey and sorrow, health and sickness,
prosperity and adversity—all march
in their appointed paths and to their
appointed ends. But at last we shall
see behind them all the one will and
the one power, and we shall be able
to say on the day of final emancipa
tion and victory, as said Joseph of
old, God meant it unto goed, to
bring it to pass.
So, let us go forth, renewing our
courage as we renew our confidence
that to them that love God all things
work together for good.
Advanced Thought,
He canvot justly be charged with
illiberality who ‘“‘adheres to that
which is good’ until a better is pro
vided. A starving man who casts
away a loaf of bread because he im
agines a ten-course dinner ahead
even an agnostic would account a
fool. Why give up our Christian
faith, which has proved so good, so
long as only the vague and ghostly
chimera of ‘“‘advanced thought” is
proposed to take its place? Some
of us know that faith in Christ is a
very real and precious and joyous
possession, a comfort in sorrow, a
help in trouble, a spur to higher
living, a source of assured hope for
the life beyond; what has science, or
human philosophy, or any of the
thousand and one vagaries of ‘“free
thought” to offer in its stead? A
joyless life, a rayless future, a
quenched soul—Nirvana!—The Ex
aminer,
How Character is Made.
One of the chief dangers of life is
trusting occasions. We think that
conspicuous events, striking experi
ences, exaited moments have most
to do with our character and capacity.
We are wreng. Common days, mo
notonous hours, wearisome paths,
plain old tools and everyday clothes
tell the real story. Good habits are
not made on birthdays, nor Christian
character at the new year. The vis
ion may dawn, the dream may waken,
the heart may leap with a new in
spiration on some mountain top, but
the test, the triumph, is at the foot
of the mountain, on the level plain,

Wisdom in a Brickyard,
A very sensible bit of advice ex
pressed in homely language was glv
en by a man not long ago to an ex
citable and quarrelsome friend. It
was in a brickyard, and two of the
workmen had engaged in an angry
dispute, which culminated in a fierce
encounter,
In the skirmish one of the come
batants was nastily hurt on the head,
and the employer, who happened to
come on the scene of aclion when
the fight was finishing snd was a
man of more temper than dizeretion,
advise] the injured one to get a war
rant for the other’s arrest.
While .the matter was being dis
cussed by a number of workmen who
had gathered round, a big, burly fel
low, who had heard everything and
seen the whole affair, made his way
to the man with the damaged cranium
and said:
“You don’t want to get no warrant,
Bill. You just go to the chemist’s
shop and get yerself two pieces of
plarster—good, big ones—and put one
piece on yer head an’ the other on
yer mouth, an’ youwll be all right.”-—

ALMOST A SHADOW
Gained 20 Ibs. on Grape-Nuts.
There's a wonderful Jifference be
tween a food which merely tastes
good and one which builds up
strength and good healthy flesh.
It makes no difference how much
we eat unless we can digest it. It is
not really food to the system until it
is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
gays:
“1 had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as I then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
“I lost flesh until I was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
“First 1 dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-
Nuts, although I aad little faith it
would do me any good.
“But I continued to.use the food
and have gained twenty pounds in
weight and feel like another person
in every way. I feel as if life had
truly begun anew for me.
“I can eat anything I like now in
moderation, suffer no ili effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring I have been able to do it my
self all alone.
“My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
somctimes an egg and a piece of
toast, but generally only Grape-Nuts
and Postum. And I can work until
noon and not feel as tired as one
hour's work would have made me a
Year ago.” “There's a Reason.”
