Bplondid Opportunities ior Corpora tions to Develop tho Tremendous Resources of tho Philippines. Things "Which Are Needed. Special Correspondence of tli Chicago llecord. Manila, voc. 17. 1S9S. This ncaecful mannna land Is rapidly undergoing a Krcat chniiRc. JIanlla Is uoonilng with new Industries, each atpumr-r brltiglng swarms of peoplo Into the city, men 01! capital aro tc-vr-rlshly outlining vast projects and every day l-l-h some new uvldcnco tlmt the day of "poro tlempn" H gone and that "pronto" Is now tin word of t.ie hour. Kvcr filnro iho tolc-siiitns Indicated the dednlte likellhooa that America I would retain tho Philippines, rents hae been steadily advancing, the price of land has been going up, and the streets of the city have the same kind of rest- j lees activity that Is characteristic ofi great Amcilcan cities. Out In ths bay 1 there nn nearly llf ty steamships and I sailing merchantmen, tho river K choked with shipping, and Instead of the out-of-the-way, unxHIted port that Manila was In the old days the yester days, the water front now presents a scene of llfo and business that Slnga poio barely equals U will now be an experience of re markable lntci est to see how a nation us rich arid progressive as Is tho t'nlteri Htates will transfuim these slumbering islands to the development of which they are capable. At present there In only one jallroatl here, and It Is very little more than 100 miles long. The cultivated district! either lie along the single uitTy of tiafnic or are located In sections easily accessible from tho sea or by river navigation, threat uaets of land as fertile as any In the world are abso lutely untouched, owing to tin cxpento of transportation or to the present In accessibility. A system of railroad l-i one of the Inevitable consequences o' the American occupation of the Philip pines. VALUAnLU TI.MBEK l.AXHA The big timber section1, where then are dlstilcts tho size of Illinois covered with valuable forests of nurra, molav.i, mahogany and other woods, will of ne cessity be the ileitis for the Investment of hungry capital. At tho present time, lumber Is veiy costly here, although there are whole Islands whoso moun tain sides are upholsteied with the foli age of ilch forests. The cost of lumber Is so great that tho lullro.iel here wan otllged to get all of its ties froim Ja pan. There are three banking coiporatlons here, two of which are blanches of Lon don houses. These two are tho Hong Kong and Shanghai Hanking rnrpoia tlon and tho Chartered Rank of India Australia and China. The third bank is the Banco Espunol and Fillplna. c olid Institution, but at present ein barrased by the effects of the revolution and war and by Spanish directors who are eager to return to Spain. These banks operate on a silver basis whirl. Is considered to li- the only practicable system for tho Philippines under pres ent conditions. There is a great field here for an American banking corpora tion, with blanches In in,ilo, Cebu and Zamboanga, and the coming six months undoubtedly will see the establishment of such a concern. PRIMITIVE TRAMWAY SYSTEM. Another thing which is destined to undergo a speedy transformation Is the tramway system now In opetation r Manila. Although Manila has ovei JOO.OOO people within its limits and Is scattered over a wide extent, the etreel cars are small concerns propelled by a motive force of one pony, or rabbit Appearances Indicate that the anlma' is a large rabbit, but common beliel credits It with being n species of horse with slats like a pit ket fence. The cars always are crowded, and It Is reallv pitiful to see thosp poor little beasts Htruggling along with an Indian driver yelling and blowing a lubber whistle that makes a noise when It exhausts. When the car reaches ono of tho In clined approaches to any of tho numer ous bridges, an extra pony is attached, the street Is cleared for half a block, several excited natives tart the street car with the ponies galloping and the momentum of the force acquired In the 100-yard dash carries the car to the level of the bridge. This Is one of the most exciting events that happens in Manila, and Is attended by so much noise and yelling that It comes nearly being a ceremenv. The car system payri nn 8 per cent, dividend, however, In spite of tho w retched equipment. An electric street lallwny will pay from the beginning. CHANCES IN ILOIEO. Hollo also is a good field for the con struction of a tram system. At pies ent there is no line In the town, al though the population Is about 10,000 Hollo alone would hardly support a street car line, but two other feature? about tho project Insure its succes Three miles to the west, across the Hver, Is Jaro, a town of jci.OOO, whlk about three miles to tho northwest h Molo, with nearly 10,000 inhabitant There Is no connection In the way ot transporatlon except carramnttas, 1- XH R32SJ Weak Net Restored Or No E, pense foi Treatmen A course of remedies the marvel of tncdli Hence and Apparatus indnru'd by phvsu-ii will be tent ON TMAL, WITHOUT ADVAM PAYMENT. 1 not all we claim, return them our expense, MEN WHO AltE WEAK, BROKEN DOW DISCOUISAOED, men who suffer from the cfVi of disease, overwork, worry, from folliis or c cestcs, from unnatural drain, vv cakness or Jack development of any portion of the body, failu of vital forces, unfitness for marriage-all sui men should "come to the fountain head" for tcicntlflo method qf marvellous power to vltalli develop, restore and sustain.

H am Ihzm Bczsh &rti3x$aL fyiirii though tho ronds leading from Jnro and Molo Into Hollo nro constantly crowded with people. A big Ice plant would bo a valuable Investment. There la now an Ice fac tory hero, but It operates on such a microscopic basin that tho product Is not only very costly but Insufficient. Since tho Americans have come here there have been a bewildering number of saloons started, all of which require Ice in quantities far beyond the capac ity of tho plant. A paper mill would pay. At tho pres ent time nearly all tho paper comes from England and Huropo, and, al though Manila paper Is a celebrated variety, It Is not made In Manila. A paper mill could use various vegetable fibers, Including rice, hemp and cocoa nut, and could lessen the cost of paper here greatly, and bo assured of nn al most Immediate success. The Manila & Dagupan railway alono uses $300 worth of paper a month. A furnlluie factory would be a pay ing Institution If the difficulty of trans porting timber to the city wero over come. The qnulities of wood are un excelled nny place In the world, and the natives aro wonderfully expert In carv ing. Nearly all ot tho furniture now cornea fiom Austria. A good telephone system ought to bo Installed. There Is one now here, but It Is considered un-t-atlsfactoiy and Incomplete. GOOD P1.AC13 FOlt DHPAHTMHNT s'i oni:. It 'foms that a department store would be a gie.it opportunity for capi tal. Theie are a grent many thlng which cither cannot bo procured here or else they are supplied by Hngllsh factories In style that Americans don't like. With 1!0,0ju or Su.000 Americans living in Manila, spending $.100,000 a month, and rnablo to got what tho want, It Is manifest that an Auieilrar stole adjusted to meet tho requile- nirnts of Ametlnin custom would be piofltable Some of the things whit h are corcplcuous by their absence aic good leather shoes built for Amei leans good stvlos of men's light wealing ap parel, good KnglMi or American books and petindlcnls, j hotoginphlc supplies an American tailor, n ronfectlonerv store and a photographer with moderr equipments. Tin so are a few of the things which seem to be lacking In Ma nila, and should be supplied by some 'one who undt t stands what Americans nro used to. Just now It is impossible to have any card engiaving done In the Philippine., and I understand that none Is done in Hong Kong The visiting nna iaislii(.s ear.lr that are to be line heio look iif If tbev had been printed with soft wood pe. It is also Impos sible to buy photographic films here or camci.is in which illms may be used. When the troop- came out there were hundipds of cameras, but as boon as the films were exhausted It was impos sible to rciiivt the supply without send ing to Amcilca. The photograph gal leries here, tour In number, use ancient methods of finishing and mounting, nnd with 20,000 handsome soldier boys all wanting to have "war-time photo graphs" made of themselves with a Manila studio address on tho card, n photogiopher with nineteenth century methods would coin money. ONLY AMERICAN NEWSPAPER TN MANILA. At present theie are no English or Ameiican periodicals or books on sale In Manila, and tho only American newspaper to be bought is The Chicago Record, which is now on sale In the Escolt.i. There would be a tremendous sale of magazines If they could be put on tho stands here. It Is natural that in America there must be thousands of men who are eager to know what open ings there nre in the Philippines for the making of fortunes. In my opinion, which is also held by many who have studied tho conditions here, there is not a great field for small entei prises, but none at nil fo- those who would expect to do manual labor. All the work to be done by the hands Is done well by Chlnete coolies and Filipinos at extremely low salaries. No American would work for three times the pay lecolvod by these native work men, and, owing to climatic conditions, lit could not do so. White men are not expected to do tho muscular work in the tropics, and any attempt to com Pte with native labor would meet a suie and speedy failure. FIELD TOR RICH CAPITALISTS. Excepting fot a few business ven tures in tho cities, the Philippines only otfor alluring prospects for men who contiol a great deal of capital. Theto seems to be an almost limitless Ik-Id here for big corporations that can en ter tho woi k of dev eloping the slumber ing rlrhes. Then will, us a ipsult of tho Introduction of a period of devel opment, be mnny oportunltles for nun who act In connection w 1th tho big inonev. operatois.

BY Secretary of CONTEXT. Jesus did not remain long In Oalilee. Uetwccn Hl3 departurq from Judca (John, lv, 3) and His return, two evc-niB only nro recorded in connection with Hl3 ministry the interview with the woman at Jucob's well and tho healing of tho nobleman's son both of which liavo been stuuicd in tills course. Whllo oilier dctds and conversations must have engaged His uttenttoti, the Inspired vvtlter rcforn to Ulceus exhibiting two aspects of His work, perhiiiM tho main reasons for His northern Journey. On re tluclng Ills steps Ho entered Jcrusatcm on a feast occasion. (John, v, 1.) It is Impossible to say which of the three na tional fcstlMils it was, but probably not tho passovcr. There Ho engaged in His usual mlnlstcrics, and healed an Impo tent tnnn. This net led to tho criticism of tho Jews (verso 10), who would hv ltlllcd Him because He wrought lnlracicn on tho Sabbath. In our lesson wo sbuil see how lie defended Himself. The topic of tho lesson committee, "Clnlsth IiHine Authority," Is discarded bccnu( it ap plies only to tho last verse. SONSIHP The first item In the defense which Jesus set up against Hlu eiiomlej wus His divinity, and this He detlnred In a new wn.. (Verso 17.) He spoke of Cod as His Puther, as He hud bclore done (John, 111, (l), and as tho heavenly voice hud done at the baptism (Matthew, ill, 17), but repic-ented tint the rutin 1 and Sou had two distinct Units to wolk, tli ono time preceding the othri, rhf impie of tho rather liclng followed by the Sun. The iem.uk wim Intended to show tint Jrvus claimed the right to de 11 btneol enl deid on the Sabbath btcur-i of His Sonslilp. The S.ihbnlh was lor 1.1.111 (Murk, ii. 27) and H w,i Its Lutd, ami might do Hit pleasure un Ills mwi daj. This claim was a sulfide lit defease to thoso who accepted His dlvinlts, but the Jews were exasperated b ll, anil ihy weie the- moie determined to take 111" life. (Verso 18.) In tin ir thought He was now Builtv of two high nlmrs, either punis-lnblu with death under thf law Habbnth desecration and blnsphcim ASSOCIATION -This outbreak of bit ter animosity did not caue Jc3us to -e-cedo from the position which He hud taken on the coutratj Ht maintains mil explains it.

The presence of Ameri can women will create a demand for social llvellnesj which will make the hill station a ilval of Simla. ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE. There w ill bo a great activity In the buying of land In Manila nnd at the logical shipping ports of tho island. Even now it Is apparent that the busi ness district of Manila Is congested Into too narrow confines. The Escotn, which is the gteat buslnesu street, is less than half 11 mile long. On it are tin. biggest retail stoies, lestaurantb, the postotlloe and leading commercial otllces. Since the Americans have come, however, this thoroughfare Is degen erating Into a salon street. Even in the native quarters there are ncores of little nlpa huts that nre selling Ameri can beer and Ameilcnn thinks. To Illustrate the vast amount of drinking that Is done, I mention the statement made to mo by the agent of an American company, who told me that he had sold 5,000 barrels of beer in one dai' to the various saloons. The business done In ono reslmental can teen. In drinks alone, was J1.700 Mexi can, In a single day, nnd In another regiment It was $1,100. It certainly is a hunilllatlns' thing to sco a beautl'id street like tha Escolta chanced In two months from a great retail show strict Into a line of suloony, nnd It makes un American leel that his country is not euttlng much ice as a grand civilizing lniluence. ARRIVAL OP ADVENTURESSES. Manila Is also becoming tho "Mecca" for dozens of adventuresses, who see golden prospects here. A number of women have drifted In from nearly a'l the big cities of tho orient, and In one or two Instances, where their character was discovered before they landed, they were ordered by General Otis away from the Island. A salon has Jusit been opened with Japanese barmaids, and there are other evidences that an era of piety ond moial reformation is not dawning In the Philippines. At the present rate of moral decline, Manila will In a few years have boodlo alder men and n political machine. During tho first two months follow Ing the occupation of Manila by the Americans there was a wild eagerness on the pait of all the soldiers' to get back homo. They all had enough of the Philippines and they were per fectly willing that the people of Ameri ca, who wero clamoring for tho reten tion of the archlpologo, should come out and retain it. A vote taken on the advisability of holding the Philippines would huve been unanimously in the negative If by retaining them tho sol diers' themselves would have to stay out here. This feeling has begun to die nut. and under the conditions that are developing, many of the younger men who have no especial business Interests nt home or families dependent on them, nro becoming reconciled to llfo In Manila. In five years It Is confldentlj thought that the at my service In the Philippines will bo far pleaantor than In many of the frontier posts in J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., American Society of Religious Education. doing only what had been appointed, whnt He had seen done. Indeed, thU In terpretation was put upon tho passage during tho Arlan controversy. To guard this point more fully, Jesus nfTlrms not only that tho Pother and Son wcro artec tlonattily associated, but that In the. highest of all their nctlons they were per fectly equal (verse 21), each doing what only a Divine being can do. In nil ages alt men havo acknowledged tho mystery of life, and some have been so Impressed by It tint thi-v havo worshiped every living thing. Whatever may bo man's theories, nil ennfes that the origin of life Is beyond human knowledge. Tho evolutionist does not press his views to tench thut Inert mnttcr ever becomes living matter bv any power within lucir. Now Josu3 lain hold of this well known confession corccmlnc the llfo principle and assertJ that both Ho nnd tho l-'.ither, ut their pleasure, Impart life, nnd when 11 i? taken tbev muv restore It. This ts the same ns lo siy that both are Dlvtno persons having eipi rt power (John, I, 12 1 UEVERENCC-IIaMiij shown His equalltv with tl-t- father by declaring that Ills life-giving power was the- same, Jesus, next urges, wlnit was a legitimate conelt'ston, tint He uucht to ricelw the haute revel eiicc m- the pmt of men.

There aro three kinds of death mentioned In Bcrlpturo natural, spiritual ond eternal. Iho first consists In tho st-parutlon of body and soul; the second in tho separation of God nnd tho soul (Coluesiaus, 11, 13); tho thlid In tho sepa ration of body and soul from Ood in tho other world. Answerable to theso ur three kinds of life the- union of soul und body, tho union ot Ood und tho soul, tho communion of body und soul with Qud in tho 1 calms of bliss. Hence, Jesus says "tho dead shall hear tho voice of the Son of God und livo' a three-fold llfo shall be given through illm, beginning lieu and continuing In tho world bcvbnd. (Ephesliins, II, 1) And this will result fiom tho fact mentioned many times. (John, i, 4), that Jesus was a source of llfo (verse 21), and possessed the power to imvait life.
