(Emend according to Ain ot tho Par- liament et enniutu, to the your ono Thousand Assn) Bemired and Pour, by \J'm JJai of Toronto, at the Department, of Agrieulliure, 1)ttavinJ A despatch from Los Angeles, Cal., eays: Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage Preached from tlic following text:-: Psalm xi,, 3,"if the foundations bo destroyed, what can the righteous do?" 1,Imaseulating, depressing tind be- numbing is the maxim propagated by some laey, noriprogressive people us the rule of thougat and life, that "what. was good enough for our fue sbould he good enough for us." X would yield to no man in my rav- en:Tice for the memory of the sainted dead WhOSO SaOreCi dust lies in our cemetries. No flowers are there too fragrant for the family plots, no epi- taphs too eloquent or too reverent to recount Weir virtues, nor, when the family finances are adequate, any mausoleum 1.00 imposing to mistletoe their remains, 1 have aLways found out when investigating that if a son does not respeet the memory of a dead mother he will not respect the living wife, who becomes the mother of •his children. In the first place, I protest against the iiionoclasm which is -undermining the foundation stones of our ances- tral Sabbath. Its desecrators 'have been going up and down the length and breadth' of the land asserting that religious worship can become as much a forin of dissipation as drink or overeating or overexereising can be. They make a wrong application of our Lord's words that the "Sab- bath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath." They affirm that it is abeurd for a business man who has been at tharcl work for at least six days of the week from 7 o'clock in the morning sometimes until 10 or 11 or 12 o'clock at night to be compelled to get ttp on Sunday in time for an early Sunday school, then to attend two long church preaching services, and then peathaps to attend a Christian Endeavor so- ciety be.steles. They contend that Sunday should be a llay of rest and that what a men needs upon the Sabbath day is relaxation. He Should go to bed Saturday night after a hot bath with bis mind perfectly at ease. As he crawls into bed lie sbould be able to say to himself: "Now, X can lie here just as long as I please. If I awake at 0 oVeck, all eight. If I can sleep to 12, better still. Then after I awake I will have a cup of coffee aed a roll brought to my bedside, and 1 willeat i little and then stay in bed another hour, reading the newspaper. Then after dinner I wilT take My children out to one of the public parks or down by the seaside and get a, sun batii arid a view of God's trees and valleys and hillsides, or I will go to one of our great art galleries and look at the pictures. It is impossible for me to go and see the painters' and the sculptors' mas- terpieces on any other day. Therefore the city art galleries should be open- ed on Sunday. Then in the evening bout I will go to church if I feel like it. If I do not desire to do so I will go to bed again and rest—yes, just rest. By such a system of rest I shall be invigorated and Shall re- turn to my work the next Monday strong in body, clear in mind, newt: loving to my family, the human race at large, and to God himself. Vint," says our iconoclast, is my idea of the Sabbath day. I do not think a hardworking man lias a right to make his Slindny a day of hard work In. church going, so that he works harder on the Sabbath than he does on any other day of the week," THE LORD'S DAY. d protest, in the second place, against the iconoclasm which would eliminate from our lives the divine principle of concern for the welfare of others. Profane iconoclastic hands nave been undermining the foundation stenos of our sacred Sabbath. Aye, these enemies of God have been doing more; they have been sneering and ridiculing tlie beautiful parable of the good Samaritan, , They 'nave been declaring that n man's neighbor belongs not tothe family which lives next door to litm. The only neigh- bor who lias claims he would meg- Xline is the wife or Child who lives within the four walls of his own house. Ho has been asserting flint )nan'e chief duty in life is to him- self and his OWO, After the members el his immediate fmnily hey° eaten eteugh and have a well filled ward- robe and a comfortable honse to live in; then a men has fulfilled bis chief end to society. Tile declaim) is, "Care for yourself end lot others care for themselves In the same Way." " THE BEAUTIFUL IDOL. "Can any good come out of snob a Nazareth?" I once rend of a groat conqueror invading a counlanr„of the fax east, Ono day lio enteets1 a temple Where stood an idol so benu- tiful that not ane of bis followevs was willing to destroy it. With aix etttli, the conqueror acrid, "If you Will not obey iny commands I Will destroy, it myealf," T-Ite lifted his battkax. As he raised himself in his etirrtirs -for ho hail ridden his horse bite the teinple—With a mighty blow ho shattered die idol into a thousend pieces. Then, to ble followers501' p0100, lie revealed the Met that the Mottle of the idol Was not, a Vactnitn. • •It had been filled with thettefteds tifs• Ort thousands of golden eottis, Which es a lava bed husel, Mom the broken statue arid rolled to. the feet of the Weetern iconoclast, The iconoclast who destrOye the beesttiful Weep of charity and beildVeltlece may think that he, too, will bo able to grasp the wealth teiliich it pours forth on the needy and the sulTering, but he will be disappointed. The economy which refuses to give help to those WhO need proves a canker to prosper- ity, and those who withhold their charity come to poverty. The com- mand is that lie who loves God love Ms brother Mso, and the converse is true that he who does not love his brother proves that he does not love his God. 'Phe daintiest delicacies ever cooked in the mother's stove were not for the growing boys, with healthy, vigorous appetites. They wore for the poor consumptive young girl who used to sit day after day upon the neighbor's veranda in the noon S1111, smiling, at us as we trudged away to school. My, how we cost long- ing eyes at those jellies! We then at times almost wished we could be sick, at least for a little while, to get a taste of them And How warm and comfortable the Mit- tens looked which mother knitted for the poor children living over the hill! And when the farmer who lived down in the valley was _prostrated with typhoid fever and lay for 11200ths, hovering between life and death, don't you remember how your father and the neighbors took turns plow- ing his fields and sowing his grain and getting in his harvests? They say that that sick nian was once a. strong athlete. However that may be, when upon his sick bed he heard what his neighbors had done and how they had kept the wolf of hun- ger from his door he cried like a lit- tle child. Ide became just such a sick mar! as Ralph Connor depicted in one of his backwoods tales. Then the funerals of our fathers and forefathers. They never allowed a neighbor to be buried like a dog or a friendless pauper, as sometimes we do. No. They literally practiced the gospel rule : "It is better to go to the house of inouridng than to the house of feasting." When their neighbors wept, they wept. When their neighbors were lowered into their open graves, they themsalvee held the ropes that gently let dowu tho coffins. Vas not tbeir way bet- ter than our way? We live and breathe only for self. Wee not tho Christian helping hnnd our fore- fathers extended to the troubled ones in their midst bettor than the icy stare with which we regard our neighbors? We grurablo in a street car because we have to wait for two niinutes while a funerni proces.eion, wending its way to the cemetery, ie holding us at ti crossing. The Gold- en Rule which our forefathere prac- ticed should never be allowed to slip out of our lives. The sfick man who lives next door to es should be just as carefully eared for and nursed by 115 an if he was our own son. CLUBHOUSE VERSUS HOME. Do you, my brother, think for ono instant that the advent of the mo- dern clubhouse and public reception hall and Delmenieo banquets is a moral improvement for modern men over the old fashioned quilting part- ies and merrymaking frolics which once made the rafters of the old farmhouse creak like the beams of a ship at sea and bend almost Rice William Tell's bow? , Do you think this? I do not. I believe that any enjoyment which a man is compelled systematically, to and outside of tho society of his wife and children and home is a depleting, enervating and ultimate/4' degrading enjeyment. A believe that any enjoyment which systematically makes a, mother rele- gate the care of her children to nursegirls and to hired linnets is an enjoyment which is poisoned through and thropgh by evil influences which will ultimately bring forth narvest- logs not for God, but for Satan. believe this tendency of the human race, this evil poison almost every- wliere prevalent, to find enjoyment anywhere, overywhere except by your own fireside, will ultimately result in a second downfall of man as drania- tic and overwhelming and complete as when 'Adam and Eve ato of the fruit of the forbidden tree unless man himself, by the grace of God, baits and Marne again to find hie chief pleasures in the associatione of his wife and children within tho four walls of his 00/31 home1 once beard father say .to my mother, "I hope after we are dead that our children will believe we havo loved them and 11000 301311100 te3 be with theln nune than with allY 0310 oleo on earth." 'They lived for US. Yes, our parents lived for us. Iftly we be like the old folks. May we find our chief enJoynient not only in lit,- ing for our children, but alSo the comparsionship of our children, no matter how old or how young they -may be, May modern society not tie involute -it into tho pleasures of 11 elubliotne or a public reception hall, but bo evoluted into the sanctified enjoyments of a Chrietinn holne.

There may be better workers than the Japanese women, but I have not seen them, and their work during the present war cannot be measured liy any ordinary. scale of human vtilues, says a letter from Japan. With characteristic nicety of detail they set about the work at hand, seeking neither praise nor criticism as they solve their problems. Pos- sibly they have their petty jealous- ies like other women, and their dif- ferences to adjust, but these are not in evideuce, and no machine could run so smoothly if not well oiled. Their wisdom and foresight in large and sinall matters are as remarkable as thie nation's preparedness for war, and it is the more wonderful when you consider nhat many of them have been reared in luxurious ease and most of them in close seclusion. A few have gone out into the world witli their husbands Sille0 the Restor- ation; a few more Have participated in official life at home, but the ma- jority knew nothing of work prior to this war. With an ithility that challenges the admiration of foreign- ers on the spot, they stepped into tho arena with the fighting men. The barriers of feudolism that made it impossible for a 100113110 of rank to associate with one of no rank, or to come into personal con- tact with the lower classes, are re- moved forever. Even 1.1io imperial princesses work side by gide with the wives of army and navy officers, of- ficials, merchants and teachers. 'They are banded together in 31. common cause—Japan in the hour of need! Of course rigid etiquette is observ- ed In the outward formality of rising and bowing when the imperial prin- cesses enter and leave the room on the occasion of gatheringe to do Red Cross work, NO conversation is ad- dressed to them, and they work-. at tables with their ladies in waiting, with whom they chat, as others do throughout the room, no further re- striction being imposed. And this in a land where but forty years ago the eyes or the Mikado's subjects could not look npon his face, and the imperial court was as securely safeguarded Irani the outer world as the sacred confines of Lha- sa have been up to the present tine.

Korman, writing in the Now York. Outlook, says every great move guide by Jailer,. during the present war was pre -arranged. This pre-a.r- rangetuent anpoars to apply :to beery - thing in the land of the Mikado, R0.. cently a distinguished party, Mehl& ing a number of foreign loess corre- spondents, were invited to take a trip 011 a Japanese transport for the purpose of visiting Japan's arsenal and naval Mules. In describing what followed, Mr. Kenn= saye ; "Capt. Takarabi, of the ManshuMaru, with half a dozen of hi a officers, was 011 the platform to meet us; three large, comfrotable steam launches were waiting to take On 00 to the steam-, en, and a systematic pre -arrangement had been xnade for the colleetion, transportation arid Mitterly distribu- tion of band baggage and trunks, When we reached the Manahumarti we found, at the head of the companion- way, a complete passenger list, fa Japanese and Englirh, with assign- ments to staterooms, as well as a plan of the saloon dining tables with assignments to seats. Down below, at the door of every stateroom, there was a card bearing in JaPanese and English the names of the persons for whom that room, was intended, and in the saloon every man's seat at table was marked by a little wooden tablet, on which his name had been inscribed again. There was, no ne- cessity for asking questions. Every- thing, to the most trivial detail, had been. thought out and 'pre -ar- ranged,: and every, passenger lmew exactly what to do." JAPANESE wortIMEL In describing his vielt to a Japan- ese gun factory and arsenal, Mr. Reiman says: "We saw the casting of a 25 -ton ingot of steel to be used in the construction of a steel gun. Flere,as elsewhere, the work was pro- ceeding in the most orderly manner possible. The pouring of the 25 tons of fluid steel into a mold for a 12 -inch gun is a job of some magni- tude and importance, but it was ex- ecuted without the least noticeable manhestation of worry or excitement a.nd without any shouted orders. Every workmen seemed to know ex- actly what to do and when to do it, and the great gun was east with 110 more fuss than would have beea made over the casting of a three - Pounder field -piece. This foundry was full of blast furnaces, and it had overhead, a great travelling crane for litting and transporting the im- mense masses of cooled steel from the moads. It nets also connected by 11100.08 of trams with all the other buildings of the cannon manufactur- ing plant. A short 'distance from this foundry was a ship yard, where 75 to 100 men were at work on a torpedo boat, which was in process of construction. 'The keel had been laid only the clay before, but the frame was already rtssuneing shape, and the boat would be ready for use in less than three months. PREPARING FOR SUCCESS. "We were taken across a 0005' largo drill ground to a group of wooden buildhigs used as places of instruc- tion for 800113.011, marines, stokers, and assistant engineers. In these buildings there were models and plans of Russian and Japanese war- ships, marina engines, and plans of engines of all sorts, model ships to show methods of rigging, pumps of various types, and walls eovererl with greatly, magnified knots, bends, and splices, intended to illustrate every possible method of using cables and rope, One shed -like building on the drill ground was devoted exclu- sively to the training of stokers, raid in it long lines of nien were eh - gaged in shovelling large water worn, pebbles (to repre.sont coal) into a series of ovenedoor-like boxes, at 11. height of about three end a. half feet, clumping them upon the Sheet iron floor, and then shovelling them back again into the boxes. Tho men seemed eager and interested irt their. work—monotonotis and wearisome fa. though it was—and they put as much energy into it as If the speed of the crusier or battle -ship in action tvere deperining upon their exertions. Just outside of this building other lines of men were turning and pounding pieces of cold iron with hammers anl sledges of all sizes. ln such exercides as these, and many others that I have 11eit1xer time nor space to de- seribe, Japanese seamen, stokers and engineers are trained for their worlc, and when the strain of war Comes there are thousands of men tvlio havo been so thoroughly instructed and so persistently 'drilled that they, may fairly be regarded as experts in their respective lines of duty. This is the method—or, at least, this is one of the methods—by which success in war is pre -arranged."
