one of the great handicaps to legit

fault is not inherent with mining,
but is the result of a bad system o(

mining Industry this system of sup

There Is good reason to look with
suspicion upon any mining company

Americans Are Not Money
Worshipers as World
Paints Them
By JOHN L. GRIFFITHS. Consul General of the United States
at London
CHE ATTITUDE OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN TOWARD
WEALTH IS NEITHER HOSTILE NOR SERVILE. HE NEI
THER DENOUNCES NOR EXALTS A MAN BECAUSE HE IS
RICH. IF A RICH MAN USES HIS WEALTH WISELY FOR
THE PUBLIC COOD HE IS APPRECIATED; IF HE SELFISHLY HUS
BANOS HIS GREAT WEALTH HE HAS NO PLACE IN THE PUBLIC
Wc do not build MONUMENTS ? though this might be regarded
one form of punishment ? to men in America who have amassed
vast fortunes. Xobody of great wealth nor any lawyer representing
great corporate interests has ever been elected president.
American inquisitiveness I prefor to think of as divino curiosity !
loading our people, as it does, over oceans and across continents in !
search of something they wish to see or know. A GUIDEBOOK
not appeal to any ono afraid to venture far from the town pump. It
gj>cal of a desire to visit places where great deeds have been done and
AXD BOULEVARDS.
U"e often hear of a hustling, expansive and even shrewd Ameri
can. but seldom of the ARTISTIC AMERICAN OR ARTISTIC
Churches Are Run With One
Eye on the Clock
By Rev. O. R. PALMER. Head of the African Inland Mission
OUR churches are ORGANIZED TO DEATH. The Holy
Spirit has no chance to work in them.
OUR CHURCH SERVICES HAVE BECOME SO CONVEN
TIONAL THAT THEY ARE MERE DUST AND ASHES. EVERY
THING IS DONE WITH ONE EYE ON THE CLOCK. THE SERMON
MUST NOT BE TOO LONG OR THE AUDIENCE WILL FIDGET; THE
PRAYERS MUST BE CUT SHORT. EVERYTHING 18 DONE IN A
MECHANICAL WAY.
People are not regenerated by the churches of tho city. They
come and go and forget what they hear as soon as they go out of tho
I firmly believe that we need a great revival among churches. To
day there are churches which have GREAT WEALTH, hundreds
.of members and fine buildings, which cannot possibly get enough of
their members together to hold a midweek prayer service.
