John 31:18-19.—"This gpake ho. sig nifying by what death he should glorify God." Death is inevitable. "It Is appointed unto man once to die." and that ap pointment each must keep. Whatever life may hold,,or whatever It may deny us, to hlgh'and low alike, the same fate Is In waiting—each must die. Wheth er we shrink from It or whether we seek It, the hour of our dissolution is steadily approaching, and sooner or later each must pass, in a moment, from time Into eternity. Some live in mortal fear of death— and well they may—for their life la such that the reckoning at the end of the way 'will be terrible. Death will reverse all their plans, cancel ail their Jcys. fuinil their worst forebodings. In exorably fix their fate and leave them eternally bereaved. Some, with stoical Indifference, face death unflinchingly as the inevitable, although at the same time they make no efTort to prepare for Its approach. Some, in the height of folly, through pique or through cowardly fear of further facing life. In defiance of God’s law, seek to shuffle off life’s coll and evade Its conse quences by a blind plunge into the fu ture. Such Indifference or such sui cidal haste oh the part of any Is the height of madness and more irrational than the fear of others which they af fect to despise. But there are those who. through a Christian’s faith, re gard death as a God-appointed means of rest and release from pain. Wearied and wom by the strife, and trusting In the promise of the Word that they who die in the Lord shall rest from their labors while their works do follow them, they calmly look forward to God’s appointed hour of death as the weary laborer looks for the evening shad ows and the time of going home. And there are those whose trust Is so tri umphant, and whose hope In God so sure, that, as they flx their eyes upon the promised glories awaiting the re deemed. they almost covet death being the portal of entry Into a larger life, and . say with Paul, "We would rather be absent from the body anil present with the Lord.” But there Is atll lanother view of death which Is'presented in our text, namely—that It furnishes an opportu nity for exalted service. The Master, In His last conversation with Peter, making prophetic reference to the day when He should suffer martyrdom by crucifixion, said: "When thou waat young thou glrdest thyself and walk- cdst whither thou wouldst, but when thou Bhalt bo old thou shall stretch forth thy hands and another shall gird thee and carry' thee whither thou wouldst not.” Thus spake He signi fying by what death he should glorify upd. Is this not a most exhilarating thought? When we have done our best for our Master who has done so much for us, and when our lives have counted for all that It Is possible for them to count, we have the blessed hope of serving Him yet further In our death. Indeed, like Samson, it Is often allowed a child of God to do more for Him and His cause by his death than by his life, for sometimes the silent lips of parents appeal to children who weep above their coffined forms, with more convincing eloquence than ever tHey did when warm with love and tender with emotion. If soldiers are kindled by the thought of distinguished service n hlc h will bring honor to thdr coun try’s name, e ven though this service be rendered at' the cost of life itself, how much more should a Christian re- Jolco as ho approaches death when he considers that in his death he may se cure the supremest opportunity ever offered to glorify Ills God. It Is in re sponse to this stimulating thought of death as a Bphero of service that wo offer this prajer. I do not know, I do not care, Nor ask to know the when, or where, Or how, this mortal life shall be Launchod forth Into eternity. But this I ask, or late or soon. At dusk or dawn, at night or noon, That 'I may meet Thee w ithout shame I And dying, glorify Thy name. ’Twill not be far—mid peace or pain, ’Twill not be long—through loss or gain, 'Twill not be much—through hope or fear Until I find the margin near; Until the little sum is told . Of what I lose or what I hold. Of what I’ve been and meant and won Through all the lit tle course I’ve run. O, what of treasure or of loss Shall be my portion os I cross The hidden line where ends the strife Where meet .the boundaries of life.’ Ah. Lord, Thou God of ages old, By whose decree alone I hold Whate’er of time or strength I know, Whate'cr of gain or good 1 show; Grant that I be with life possess'd Until I fully manifest What Thou canst do when Thou dost choose.

Thy way as best. And though Ilfs speed, may It proclaim Tho lasting glories of Thy name. Tea, though it cease—as fails my breath May I declare Thy praise In death. I hni not worthy. Lord, of Thee, Nor do I make desert my plea. A sinner trusting In Thy grace With contrite heart I seek Thy face.

Lord, but now To Thy bless'd discipline I bow; So. may Thy hands, with patient skill Design, correct, control, until Redeemed and fashioned ail anew, I show what marvels Thou canst do With any life that Is commit* To Thee to mould os Thou see'st lit. And how Thy mercy dost advance The soul that gives to Thee chance. O! by Thy power may I be Dead to myself—alive to .Thee. And to the world and nil its pride May I be fully crucified. grace I Where sin has reigned, may i abound; j Where storms have swept may peace be found; Where .1 have yielded to the wrong May I be steadfast, true and strong.

CALEB A. RIDLEY OF LIVE OAK, FLORIDA During my recent stay In Atlanta I was asked to visit Kennesaw moun tain,' somo twenty miles out. Rev. IB. H. Peacock, Dr. Broughton’s assist ant pastor, hod Just closed a scries of meetings In tho vicinity, and had an nounced his Intention of establishing a permanent camp site to be occupied during the month of August each year. His Idea Is to rent tents and pitch them on a high rolling ridge at the foot of the mountain, near a splendid spring and In the midst of a most beau tiful grove, which has been tendered him free of charge. These tents will bo furnished families who do not feel abie to go to the mountains or to the set, and yet, who feel the peed of a few weeks' outing. The cost will, he Insignificant and the returns mani fold. In a few hundred yards of the camp site there will be a Inrge gospel tent in which religious services will be held every night during the month. - Tho very best talent that can be had will bo in the pulpit, fully two thousand pooplo who live In reach of the site are anxious to.co-operatg gM'gt giwtt time religiously Is assured. Jn the meeting Just closed there wero over one hundred professions of faith In Christ.’ Tho place selected for the tent Is at tho Intersection of flvo public highways, only one mile from Marietta and right at Elisabeth station on the Western and Atlantic railroad. It Is easy of access from all points, Is near the city and yet has every advantage and charm of the country. While strolling through the grove and loitering near the spring where the family tents are to.be pitched, one for gets the turmoil of city life and Is conscious only of,the most lovely sur roundings. Stretching away on every side are the cushioned meadows, tho tinted hills, and the ripening fields of corn. Silvery streams and streamlets thread their way along by the foot hills and laugh and chuckle and sing to tho flowers that nod and smile on their emerald banks. It was a scene like this, that Inspired the poet to write: "How gladly through a poet’s dreams The lyric breexes blow— From tropic groves and sylvan streams. And hills of long ago! They ripple on, with music rife— In measures sweet or strong—. Frpm the green valley-land of life. And mountain peaks of song. HoW gladly through a poet’s dreams The lyric breexes blow— From forests where the Jasmine gleams. And shy wood-violets grow. They bllhtely roam • o’er grass and grain— Rebuking doubt and gloom— ’Till thoughts long bound by winter's chain Break Into rhythmic bloom.” Only a few hours had passed since Mr. Peacock and I had left the city, but now we stood bathed In the blue of heaven and drinking In the oxone of the hills. A cloud was floating lazily across the sky and the cool breezes kissed our cheeks like the gentle touch of mother. In my tnlnfl I could but contrast the freedom of the hills with the pent-up life of our great cities. As I stood there I dreamed, and In my dreams I saw again the pver-restless throng of the city streets, heard the weird screams of the multitudinous newsboy, the honk of the auto, the rattle of wheels, the ringing of bells, tho muffled murmur of men, the sharp, piercing accents of women, with now and then a shriek of horror. I saw again the careworn faces of the surging moss. There was the widow whose black veil told of a sor row heavy as hell, and whose pale face grew cold under the glare of unsym pathetic eyes. Then there was (he. poor old beggar, whose eyeless sockets pleaded so eloquently that I found myself feeling for the last nickel. I saw- shop girls, with beautiful faces, but heavy hearts, as they glanced from their prison wails at tho .great world without. Before me passed a great multitude, In whose faces I read the story of disappointment and death. Mahy of them had once owned their little cottage In the country where the vine with purple clusters.climbed over tho trellis and tho old apple tree piled up Its golden fruit. But they had heard of an Eldorado In the city and gone there to get rich. Whnt fools we mor tals bo! As the-passing throng went limping by, I saw through a broken window the cold, chaste face of a dying child, whose name.will never get into the newspapers. But the dream van ished. the panorama passed and I thanked heaven that I was away from It all. and enjoying the realities of the country. It Is In the country that beauty Is supreme, and as I stood at the foot of Kennesaw mountain I felt this truth as I rarely ever have. I realized atmh the solemn and dignified grandeur oft mountain. I was reared up amoni them. They were my youthful com panions, but this familiarity had ob scured their charms. But there stood beautiful Kennesaw—made famous for being a silent witness of one of the hot test days of tho Civil war—there It stood beneath a curtain of clouds with its shining slopes and summit burn lib. ed by the touch of evening splendor. The thunderheods seemed frozen a hoot Its granite brow. Like a symbol oi eternity, !t stood ns one of the mutt choristers of heaven. It may be a child of the earthquake, a 'Wrinkle on tbs brow of the world or the record ols planet's agony, but bo this as It msjr, Ke'nnesaw Is one of the most beautIM little mountains In ail this world, a Ideal spot for tho summer outing. 1 1 ft THE DARING AND THE DOUBTFUL Tsras Comments on the Uniform Prayer Meeting Topic of the Young Peo ple's Societies—Christian Endeavor, Baptist Young People’s Union, Ep- worth League, Etc,—For September 1, “I Can” and ”1 Can't.”. 1st, 35: 3, 4; 30: 15, 18) Hsb. 3: 14. By WILLIAM T. ELLI8. BTFUL— RELIGION PAGE—Sat It Is of mors than passing signifi cance that tho non-Chrlstlan natlona have through thousands of years dis played a lack of Inventiveness and Ini tiative. During the same time the Christian nations have transformed civilization by progress nnd inventions. The proposition can bo proved that Christianity makes doers. Into the hearts of Its-followers It puts a sense of confidence and power. "I can” Is the word of the Christian, os he pioneers the way Into all unknown spheres On this low level of efficiency—disregard ing. for the moment, all high consider ations of spirituality—tho religion of Jesus In the lives of men has Justified Itself. Not bigotry, but a large con ception of history, animated the words of the man who said, apropos of the recent war talk In Japan and America. "I would have no doubt as to the out come of such a conflict, If for no other reason than that America la an en lightened Christian and Japan a heath en nation. It was the gross and pagan wickedness of the Russians—despite their nominal Christianity—which caused. their defeat at the hands of Jit pan. state of confirmed smallness and Inef ficiency. It Is courage that conquere. So nigh Is grandeur to our dust, v So near Is God to man. When Duty whispers low, "Thou must," The youth replies, *‘I can.” —Emerson. The world withholds confidence from the person who lacks confidence In himself. One of the heartrending oft-repeated exhortations of the Bible Is, "Be strong; fear not.” That Is the divine program for Ilfs. Faint-heartedness Is a denial of confidence In God. - He Is honored by fearless endeavor; all his prophets and heroes have been men who have not been afraid to attempt great things for God. BAPTIST.

To mlalnte.- pret and to misrepresent the life and teachings of the Strong Son of God, by a feeble, anemic, spineless Christianity, -will be regarded as an offense against the church. The followers of Jesus may not be weaklings; all that la vig orous, sturdy and royally strong Is typical of the life that patterns after that peerless Example. Fearfulness Is faithfulness. They can who will—and whoee wills have been made strong by submission to the divine will. . The fussy person Is generally weak. Fretfulness, Impatience and explosive ness are the habit of the small-spirited and the self-distrustful. They try to make up for their lack of assurance by bluster and noise. But the man who can, and Rnotva he can. Is self-contain ed and undisturbed. He Is ture>of his own power, so he Is In no unseemly hurry. Into his spirit has entered the principle enunciated by Isaiah. "In quietness and in confidence shall be •your strength.” • J- Poise Is-a product of power: serenity baa its springs In strength The daring do. Capacity Is largely a matter of confidence. The plane of a .person’s labors and success Is largely determined by his own assurance. ■Home young men attempt great things —think in large terms—launch vast ventures.

"The secret of success,” It has been said. “Is boldness, more boldness, ever boldness." Two terse phrases of "pidgin Eng- lish.” that queer speech In which the bulk of the foreign business of China is • transacted, are 'Can do," "No can do.” The Chinese who answers every question and command with 'Savvy. Can do,” Is the Joy of the business man's heart and his prop of depend ency. The two phrases typify two types of character as common in America as in China. Some persona are "can do" characters; they are the self-confident, reliable and progressive ones, the dependablee of Ufe. The oth ers are "no can do" characters, tlm, oroua, shrinking. Ineffective, who In stead of being the world’s burden- bearers are themselves burdens to be borne. News and Notes. The Tibetan Sacred Book, which cor responds to the Christian Bible, con sists, says the Missionary Review of the World, of 108 volumes of 1,000 pages each, containing 1,088 separate books. Each volume weighs ten pounds and forms a package 34 inches long. 8 Inchee broad and 8 Inches deep, and It requires a dozen oxen for Ite trans port. Tbs carved wooden blocks, from which It Is printed, need rows of houses like a city for their storage. One tribe of Mongolians paid seven thousand oxen for a copy of the book. In addi tion to the Sacred Book Itself, there are 828 volumes of commentaries upon it. Apropos of the recent Morrison Mis sionary Centennial In China, attention Is called Jo the fact that Robert Morri son, although himself British born, was able to go to China only because of America No British ship could take him, and so he Journeyed from New York city In an American vessel. His passage was paid by an American Pres byterian elder and he could only live In China as an American citizen. Nearly one-third of the missionaries In the American Board In India and Ceylon are the children and the grand children of missionaries who were sent out by the Board two or three genera tions ago. The entire Anglican community In China, including the American Protest ant Episcopal church and the Church of England, have appointed a commit tee to draft a plan for the actual unlofi of ail these bodies In China The con ference also appointed a committeo on unity, to receive communications from other bodies of Christiana In China, and to do everything In their power to forwnrd the cause of Christian unity In that empire. Another Important action was the appointment of a com mittee to draw up In Chinese a form of prayer for God's blessing upon the empire of China to be issued by’the conference, and to be recommended for uso at the Sunday morning service of every Chrisllan congregation through out the empire. The pope has ordered a commission to note and condemn the principal errors of modern theology, from the viewpoint of the Roman Catholic church.

The Roman Catholic church became the head of all churches, not by divine ordinances, but by purely political cir cumstances. The church Is the enemy of natural and theological sciences. The Christian doctrine was first Ju daic, then Pauline, then Hellenic, then universal. The principal articles of the Apos tles’ Creed had not the same signifi cance to the primitive Christians as they have to the Christians of the pres, ent time. The church showe herself to be In. capable of guaranteeing the officacy of evangelical morality, for she remains tightly bound to a doctrine which can not be made to agree with modern progress.
