RETRIBUTION.
By Helen M. Cade.
A man set out for a good day's sport
With his fish-hook, trap and gun,
Prepared to enjoy all the pain he'd cause,
'Till the day’s long course was run.
So he killed, and plundered, and maimed,
and shot, x
*Till the sun sank low in the west,
And then, wher his thirst for blood was
done,
He started for home—and rest.
But a brother torturer, just before,
Had traveled the same dark road,
And had set a trap for a helpless thing,
To add to his own black load.
And into the trap the brute-man fell
And down came the cold steel jaw,
Into his flesh it clawed and bit,
For mercy is not its law.
And for company through those hours of
pain
He had all the things that he slew.
And they stared at him with a mocking
eye,
For their pain at least was through.
And time for
sport,
As he writhed, and groaned, and raved,
And lay for days, as the creatures do
That are caught, and by man enslaved.
reflection had this great
¥or retribution’s a slow old law—
But sometimes it works out even—
And catches the man with the vicious
heart,
Be he layman, priest, or heathen.
TRUE STORIES OF IMMORTAL
HYMNS.
By Octavia Hudson.
The Missionary Hymn, “From Greenland’s
Icy Mountains.” Words by Bishop Reg-
inald Heber. Music by Lowell Mason.
From Greenland’s icy mountains,
* From India’s coral strand,
Where Afric’s sunny fountains
toll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error’s chain.
What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile?
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
This greatest of all missionary
hymns was written by Reginald He-
ber in 1819, on the day before he was
to deliver a missionary sermon in the
church of his father-in-law, at whose
home he was visiting. You will re-
member that the use of hymns in the
church services had been introduced
only a short time before Heber began
to write; so this important service
found the people without an appropri-
ate missionary hymn.
Mr. Heber and his father-in-law and
other church men were talking over
the coming service when one of the
men remarked that they should cer-
tainly have a missionary hymn for so
impressive a service as they hoped to
make this a missionary appeal. Turn-
ing to Mr. Heber his father-in-law
asked him why he could not write the
much needed hymn. Mr. Heber im-
mediately retired from the room. In
less than an hour he returned with
three verses of the hymn of our story.
His hearers were delighted with the
hymn and at once began to sing it.
How beautifully Mr. Heber de-
scribes the heathen countries; yet he
points out to us that even though God
has bestowed with loving kindness
these wonderful gifts of nature
throughout the land in every corner of
the globe, all is vain if man bows
down to wood and stone instead of
worshipping the true and living God.
The third verse is a wonderful ap-
peal to the christian to help send “the
lamp of light” to each “remotest na-
tion” until each benighted man, wom-
an and child has learned to speak with
reverence the “Messiah’s name.”
Shall we whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O Salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till cach remotest natien
Has learned Messiah's name.
After the men had sung the hymn
many times to an old melody known to
all, Mr. Heber said the song needed
another verse to complete the appeal.
He seemed inspired with the subject
and desire to send the gospel to every
remote nation when he wrote the last
glorious proclamation of triumph that
has in reality been sung in every re-
mote corner of the globe:
Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,
© And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole:
Till o'er our ransomed nature
The lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.
Twice Reginald Heber refused the
honor of accepting the appointment of
Bishop to Calcutta, because of the love
for his own home and church; but
when finally the call of duty which he
never forsook, prevailed, he was the
means of spreading the story of the
gospel throughout “Ceylon’s isle,” and
along the “coral strand;” for it was
Bishop Heber who ordained the first
native minister of India—they called
him Christian David. .
It was arduous labor and the trying
climate of the beautiful Ceylon isle
that finally, after three short years,
caused the death of the beloved Bish-
op, whose beautiful daily life endeared
him to every one. 3
Lowell Mason, who has given us so
many of our beautiful hymn tunes,
wrote the melody for “From Green-
land’s Icy Mountains.” It came about
this way: A young lady in Savannah,
Georgia, happened to read the poem
one day. She was immediately im-
pressed with the beauty of the words
ind wanted a melody for the song that
was equally befitting in detail. She
knew a young bank clerk who was
rticularly interested in music and
Rad written some tunes for songs; he
was also a singing teacher in Savan-!
nah; so she took the song to him. In
less than an hour he returned the com-
pleted song. The young man was

cate.
PREPARATION MADE FOR PAS-
SION PLAY. -
Since the decision was made to give
the delayed Passion Play in 1922, Ob-
erammergua has taken on new life.
Carpenters, painters and masons,
many of them wearing long hair and
beards which mark them as partici-
pants in previous dramatizatiops of
the Passion of Jesus Christ, are re-
storing the open-air theatre and villas
which had no attention during the war
period.
Busy housewives are preparing their
homes for the reception of visitors
who will fill the little village next
summer. Scene-painters are rebuild-
ing and restoring the representations
of parts of the Holy Land, where Je-
sus lived and died and rose again from
the tomb.
Needlewomen are fashioning robes
for the apostles and scores of other
biblical figures who participate in the
play. Although the cast will not be
elected by the directors of the play
until October, young women who have
distinguished themselves in other re-
ligious plays given by the Oberam-
mergua folk are fashioning simple
robes suitable for the role of Mary, in
the hope that they will be chosen to
enact the part of Jesus’ mother, the
highest honor that can come to an Ob-
erammergua woman.
The great auditorium which shel-
ters spectators of the Passion Play is
a wooden structure supported by steel
trusses. It has seats for 4000 persons,
arranged much after the plan of a
modern opera house. When the play
is offered one end of the auditorium is
removed entirely, and the stage stands
at some distance from the end of the
building in such a position that the
mountains furnish a background for
the setting. The audience is entirely
sheltered in case of rain and the main
part of the stage has a glass roof.
Even among the children of Obex-
ammergua the reverence for the Pas-
sion Play is very marked and in imi-
tation of their elders, they are con-
stantly acting in the hope of being
chosen for important roles in the pro-
duction given every ten years.
As good character is insisted upon
as the basic requirement for partici-
pation in the play, the danger of be-
ing debarred from a part in the his-
toric spectacle is held constantly over
the village children and is a far bet-
ter corrective influence than the bo-
geys invented for most children.—Ex.
Wireless Phone Over Atlantic.
“1 expect eventually to bridge the
Atlantic with wireless telephony.
When New York talks to London it
will be in this manner and not tele-
phony through a cable, the cost of lay-
ing which would be prohibitive.”
This statment was made by Senator
Marconi in discussion of Colonel Car-
ty’s demonstration of cable and wire-
less telephony between Havana and
Catalina, off California.
Mr. Marconi was not much impress-
ed with the practical value of Colonel
Carty’s achievements, inasmuch as the
cost of maintaining land and subsea
wires over areas stretching for thou-
sands of miles is a prohibitive factor.
At the same time, he admitted, that
long-distance wireless telephony had
not advanved to a practical commer-
cial stage.
“We have had wireless talks be-
tween London and Rome, London and
Geneva and other points,” he added,
“and we have even got a few words
across the Atlantic; but we can not
work in a praticial way across long
sea distances. There are certain dis-
turbances of the waves in space the
cause of which has not yet been deter-
mined. >
Asked about the facilities for eaves-
dropping in wireless telephony, Mar-
coni said:
“It is not so easy to pick up mes-
sages, and if it were there are
not many instances in which they
would be useful. Americans in
London, for instance wanting to
speak to their wives or sweet-
hearts at home, would not care
about any one “tapping” their mes-
sages so long as they could hear the
‘voice of people dear to them. Wire-
less telephony is not more likely to be
tapped than wireless telegraphy.

THE FIRST LOAD OF ANTHRA-
CITE.
Ten years before the Colonists
started their long fight for independ-
ence, anthracite coal was discovered
near Philadelphia by James Tilghman,
of that city.
He sent a small piece of the miner-
al to Thomas and William Penn, of
London, saying that he believed the
bed of coal might become valuable
some day.
in 1800, an enterprising pioneer by
the name of William Morris, brought
a load of the stuff into Philadelphia,
making the journey of 100 miles from
the mine.
People called it “rock” coal, and
said it wouldn’t burn.
About this time a salesman got on
the job, or rather three salesmen,
named Miner, Ciest and Robinson.
In August, 1813, they started an
“ark,” laden with coal, from Mauch
Chunk to Philadelphia.
On their arrival in the Quaker city,
they went to the fist printer they
could find and ordered handbills print-
ed in both English and German. These
handbills told about the quality of
hard coal, and said it was being used
with success by blacksmiths.
On the street corners in the city, the
three salesmen set up stoves and dem-
onstrated to the crowds that the coal
would burn.
They sold their entire cargo and ob-
tained orders for three or fcur more.
ER RY,
One hundred ond one years after
this business venture, the Geograph-
ical Survey reports that Pennsylvania
Produced 88,995,061 tons of anthracite
coal.
Some authorities say that the coal
beds in Pennsylvania will continue to
yield another century at the presen
rate of production. .
After that the world can turn its at-
tention to the supply in China, which
after careful study is estimated at
63,000,000,000 tons.—Ex.

Order Houses Stagger the
Imagination.

There is one way to make money by
dealing with the mail-order houses but
it isn’t by buying goods from them.
The man who thinks he is making
money by buying his goods from mail-
‘order houses has only to read of the
amazing profits made by some of these
big corporations to realize that all the
money is being made by the man on
the other end of the deal.
The stockholder in a big mail-order
concern toils not and neither does he
spin, but he piles up his money so fast
that it makes the ordinary man’s head
swim to read about it. Here is the
experience of the stockholder in one
of the large mail-order concerns, as
told by a reliable financial journal. It
gives a glimpse into the inside work-
ings of the mail-order business that
have made such things possible.
How the Game Works.
in question when the stock was selling
around $40 a share, the 600 shares
costing him a little less than $25,000.
In 1911 the company declared a stock
dividend of 33 1-3 per cent. In other
words the company after paying cash
dividends regularly, had accumulated
‘a surplus profit of one-third of the
amount of capital invested in the
business; but instead of distributing
this profit among the stockholders the
company kept the money in the busi-
{ness and issued stock for that amount
to the stockholders. By this action
1200 more shares of stock were issued
ito the man who had originally bought
1600, increasing his holdings to 800
shares, without his having put any
more money into the business.
Another stock dividend of 50 per
‘cent ‘was declared in 1915 and this
‘added 400 shares more to his holdings,
jgiving him 1,200 shares in all. A third
stock dividend of 25 per cent was paid
early in 1917, bringing this man’s
stock holdings up to 1,500 shares, still
without his having paid in any more
|
:
money. On this 1,500 shares of stock,
‘cash dividends of $8 a share are now
being paid. This investor thercfore
‘is now receiving $12,000 a year from
his original investment of about $25,-
000, and as the stock is now worth
around $160 a share, the present mar-
ket value of his stock is $240,000, giv-
ing him a profit of $215,000, in addi-
‘tion to cash dividends which he re-
' ceived during nine years, amounting
should be of interest to those who
‘In 1908 this man bought 600 shares
of stock in the mail-order corporation
'to many more thousands of dollars.
) Only One of Hundreds.
| This is the story of just one small
|stockholder in one mail-order concern.
{A profit of more than $215,000 made
Iby one small stockholder in nine years
lon an investment of less than $25,000!
It reads like fiction but it is financial
history. There are hundreds of other
!stockholders in this and other mail-
lorder corporations, some of whom
‘have made millions while this man
|made thousands. Add the profits of
\all these stockholders together and the
result is a sum that staggers the imag
‘ination.
Smail wonder that the men who own
the stock of the big mail-order houses
can live in palaces, ride in the highest.
priced automobiles, own palatial pri
vate yachts and buy $100,000 paint-
‘ings. But who has furnished the
money to pay for the palaces and the
automobiles and the yachts and the
$100,000 paintings? The people in the
country and the small towns who have
kept an endless stream of money flow-
ing into the coffers of the mail-order
houses have made all this possible.
Their millions of dollars have gone to
the big cities to build up these great
concerns. Their millions of dollars
have provided the automobiles and
yachts and other luxuries for the
stockholders in these corporations.
Present From Mail-Order Buyers.
These men who have piled up such
big fortunes in the mail-order busi-
ness have not even had to pay for
much of the stock from which they are
now drawing princely dividends. The
people in the country and the small
towns, generous souls, have bought it
for them. This is shown in the case
of the stockholder just mentioned, who
originally invested. The generous
madl-order buyers have made him a
present of $215,000 worth of stock and
he has not had to turn his hand over
to get it. He has néver even had to
so much as’ write a letter to get it.
The generous mail-order buyers have
handed it to him on a golden platter.
There’s money in the mail-order
business without a doubt, but its on
the side of the man who does the sell-
ing and not the one who does the
buying. If you must do business with
the" mail-order house, buy some of its
stock and let the fellow in the next
town buy you automobiles and private
vachts while he struggles with the
hard {izes that come from draining
his town of the cash that goes to keep
you in luxury.
