OHND. ROCKEFELLER, JR REACHES [UK GOSPEL OF THE .SIMPLE LIFE. ch Man's Son Devoted to His Sunday School Work. It was shortly before 10 in the mora g. Fifth avenue was comparatively serted for three reasons, namely— it as the Sabbath day, it was too early • some hours for an ease-and-luxury ving residential section to be visibly tir, and it was raining"—raining as hen gray and ragged skies are being ••adiiy unraveled upon an outwardly terted city.

An observer also might Stave noted modest coupe, devoid of an\ ciest or mily insignia, just as the driver was nils a cockade and livery, craw up at u church entrance and deposit a young in and a young woman upon the pave ont. Stepping first from the vehicle and sing his umbrella with Mich agility as experienced teller may some times ex it in handling specie, the young man orted his companion to a small side trance of the church and with her dis peu'ed into the plain brick and stone ifice.

Yet the most inqxirtant fea ture about that member, if the eyes and their immovable lids be excepted, was the nose. Recently in discussing faces us in lexcs of character, a great industrial captain and student of physiognomy declared that he attributed no small part of his commercial success to his ability to esti mate character by noses. He jocularly remarked that he won each of his great est successes by a nose. Young John I). Rockefeller, judging by the same stand ard, has character to spare. His nose lie tokens both a Roman and Greek ancest ry. As a feature, it completely domin ates his face. Smiling his sixth, or maybe his seventh consecutive smile, the young leader reached and ascended the slightly eleva ted platform. Although, in doing so, lie had his back to his audience for a frac tion of a minute, he donveyed a curious impression of not having taken his eyes from the assemblage. Choosing an ample chair of Titian plush the young man sat down, folded his arm*, and cJamly proceeded to survey the faces turned ti ward him with their varying degrees of age and experience. Simultaneously with this movement, and as suddenly as the genial expression had appeared in his face on his entrance, it was eclipsed as though bv a transitory cloud of some impenetrable texture. Jcflersonian Simplicity. I Meanwhile, the r o°m was rapidly fill ing with tardy arrivals, the regular class members proceeding to their accustomed places, and the visitors, of whom there were a score, receiving a welcoming hand from whichever it-lter met t hem at the door.

Xobodv smiled. Ev -1 | er\ eye was focused upon the speaker. I Dropping his voice to a conversational 11 tone and fingering a slip in his hand, the 1 class leader continued: "What is the r meaning of the parable you have just heard? Tt says that the kingdom of hea s veil is like unto treasure hid in a field, l Does it mean that the kingdom is a per- -mull one.—one that is intended not only for humanity in the aggregate, but for you and me as individualsl Yes, 1 think that is what is meant. "Put our text to-day Suggests sonic- ' thing else tli.it some, if not all. of us must have thought of at some time or other. And that is the: necessity of eon- j -cious effort in finding the treasures of I this life. Conscious effort! .lust as the | iir is all about us in vast tuid unlimited \ «|iiii litities ami yet cannot be breathed without conscious effort, so it is with ' this parable which teaches that when a ; certain man found the kingdom of Ilea- 1 ven lie hid it and joyfully went and sold ! all else that he had in order to possess j I lie field and treasure more fully. "In those days of war and trouble, of j dissimulation and intrigue, whrn no man 1 knew at what hour he might fall a vic tim to some more powerful reigliltor or king, men were accustomed to burying their treasures for safer keeping. We read frequently of those who divided their fortunes into three parts. One part, was invested in jewels, which having less bulk, could the more easily lie con- j eealed as well as worn. Another portion was frequently buried, and a third por tinn was invested in trade or business. The Act and the Treasure. "So it was natural that a parable ! would be suggested, by treasure, buried in a field. The man who found it.on, that occasion was perhaps a laborer in the vineyard, who was unaccustomed to material or spiritual riches. So he, af ter making liis discovery, put the treas ure back for fear of losing it. Did he do l ight? May he some of van have opin ions on the subject." Mr. Rockefeller paused and glanced from face to face in search of an an siver. Filially en elderly man in the i rear of the room ventured that the finder lof the treasure had done rigb't beeuuse | 112 his exceeding joy and his righteous j ' uilicm in hu--'>aiiding it.

To another class attendant the young leader addressed a question about the class club iu West Forty-fifth street, lie has taken exceptional interest in this club, which occupies an entire house, and is supported by regular annual dues from such members of the class as j.re enroll ed in its membership. Of the 450 class members, only some two hundred are members of the club. Handsomely furnished and equipped wiili an excellent library and of her accesso ries of dub liie, this, besides liein"" a l'oii eral class rendezvous, is the home of some thirty members of the lto«kei'ellei- Bible Class. As to the attitude of the oh'-- toward it- multi-millionaire leader, one of the charter members voiced a unanimous i sentiment in saying; "A great many persons have taken occasion to express criticisms about ourselves and the work we are accomplishing. If they wore bet- ! ter informed they would not be so skep- j tical. As a man iu business, 1 have nev er known of greater loyalty and regard than exists between the head of this or- J ganizat ion and the members. "\\ hile most of them are young men, a i great many regular attendants of the I class are well advanced in years. Some i of them attend the meetings -very Sun- j day of the class year from October until May without ever directly identifying themselves with the organization. "As to there being any other than sin cere motives underlying the institution, any such suggestion is liot.li unjust and unwarranted. Certainly our leader has i nothing to gain from this class save its ' undivided loyalty and such pleasure and spiritual profit as he may get in the | work. "Few people can know of the far reaching influence of this organization | and the power if lias become," continu | ing. "Besides our regular Sunday morn ing meetings, we have been at various times addressed by the foremost, men in nearly every walk of life. It uiighl even be ventured that no similar organization ' in existence has been addressed by such an extraordinary array of speakers. Then there arc our regular month',v dinners, and also the club, which offers exception al advantages to the members from ev ery viewpoint. His Gospel the Simple Life. "Although," concluded the speaker, dropping his voice as the object of dis cussion passed near on his way out of the room, "the simple life is now a popular vogue, it neither more nor less than what Mr. liockefeller has been preaching, so to say, ever since he organized his class ami assumed its leadership foun years ago. He works harder than any i members of the class to further its suc cess, and nobody knows —not even the beneficiaries -just how much silent as sistance he has given and is giving to ! many of the young men who are follow ! ing his leadership here."

By Louis Wiley of New York, Veteran Journalist. I lie day of oratory is passing, but the public taste for newspaper reading is in creasing. In years gone by only a lim it ed number of the citizenship read news papers; now every man and woman, and indeed every child able to read, reads a newspaper. The expense of conducting newspapers is now greater than at any other time in the history of nowspaper making. The average cost of the production of a New \ rk daily newspaper is $20,000 per week. 'Hie business side of newspaper work requires as much ability and as much en ergy as the cilitorial department. Individuality was the predominant fac tor in newspaper work fifty years ago.
