••WHAT CAN A HU M WAN IH>f*
The question qtiototl to th* caption I*
mild in have l>ern propounded by Anson
Phelps HAok.s. Jr. to a Vi proleeaor
riot lon* ago. Young Mr flioksa, of a
deeply rrllgtoua turn of mind, hod deter
mined to enter the ministry. He had
tried to manage the mailer with that quiet
dignity whk’h should characterise the tak
ing of holy orders, but he found II Im
possible. The fact that he was a million
aire was mifflelent to attract the albnlloti
of the rnorhkt pres* and the morbid curi
osity of the people, and'his entry Into the
priesthood was made a sensational affair.
Itlg black headline* In the papers called
attention to the fact that a millionaire
was about to become a churchman, while
pictures, spread over n liberal section of
a page. Illustrated the young man In cler
ical garb, and otherwise. The notoriety
Ihet wa worked up with respect to the
matter wan rlnful to Mr Stokes. He
found thet hie millions were *< a millstone
about his neck "I almost wish 1 were
poor,” he told hla friend the professor
"The motiey I havn Inherited Is an In
cumbrance to me. People will never for
get that 1 am wealthy. In spite of all 1
could do my advent Into the priesthood
hae heeti sensational. And yet. what can
a rich man do?”
Mr fatokeH wisely concluded to go on
with his church work, to retain his wealth
and spread a portion of li In the amelior
ation of the conditions of hie fellow man
ml for the furtherance of the work of
the church, to whkii he has consecrated
his life. No rich man could reach a wiser
conclusion
What can a rich man do? The poten
tiality of wealth I* vast. Hut there la it
limit to the power of money, i onsldrred
In Itself Money cannot buy all things,
but aa an adjunct to a proper spirit 11 may
aid In all things. An old proverb has It
that there Is truth In wine Thai might
lie Impnnved hy saying there Is truth In
wealth. The rial and true character of
the rich man may he fully developed,
while the character of the man who Is
pinched by pov Tty tins no similar oppor
tunity for expansion and development.
Thus the posseaston of wealth makes the
miserly man more mean, grasping and
,|. -plcahle, It makes the naturally sensual
nature more sensual. On the other hand,
as In the case of Mr. Hlokes, It penults
i so of the full development of better na
j lures If Mr Smkes hid teen born poor,
■ tor Instance, he might have been forced to
' follow some rail tig and fat! In with such
association* a* would have smothered the
[ spiritual side of his nature, and t hing.i
entirely his career. The spark which has
< tlnally led him to the pulpit was prs
! served, or rather made ae, ure, by wealth,
, arid now wealth enables him to lay a
sphndld offering upon the altar of the
church.
The rich man can do any number of
gr*at and good thing*. And a peculiarity
I* that while all rich men know this, and
a grout many of them take pleasure In
writing articles for the maguiines and
newspapers telling how wtallh shout I lie
administered so as to be of the greatest
benefit to humanity most of them are
theorists, merely. They do 00l practice
what they preach

Some years ago l>r I>lo Demis formulat

let In everywhere. He would have all
Ifses re move, l from about habitations; and
thousand* and thousand* of them were
destroyed * a coowequence of his agita
tion. "It might Iff questioned," say* Dr
Oswald. "If all human follies and crimes
taken together have caused a* rnieh per
manent mtwchlgf a* the Insane destruction
of npiure's safeguards against. Ilfe-bllghi-
Irg droughts." In response lo the
theory of sunshine destroying disease

bubonic plague flourishes most In tlioee
section:! which are without shade trees
On the Adriatic the broiling, beating sun
ehlna ha* not served to prevent or to
check the development of malaria ami ty

Dr. Oswald assert* with poslHvenes*
that among (he sanitary equipments of a
model dwelling house shade trees should
rank with the best plumber - * contrivances,
and that a house in a grove Is worth
twice the rent of house on a naked hill
side. Making a reference of special local
Interest, he says: *i> ave* generate ox
ygen and absorb noxious gases. In towns
like Havunnah, t;* . with Its four rowe of
stalely forest trees shading every prlncl
l*u street, sunstroke* are far less frequent
than lt the oun-oeortAied (though more
elevated) settlements of the fNalrle
states." He further goes on to show that
disease* of the eye are less frequent where
there Is nn abundance of shade from
tree* than In place# where shade m-e* are
lucking For the foregoing and other
reasons Dr Oswald pleads for the preserv
tloti and reproduction of forest growth.
Aavannuh's tnei, while comparatively
