Is becoming generally true of the Meth
odist laity. There are signs that It
in. There hr reasons Torthe lndlffer
enco toward the claims of the worn
out preachers which has been largely
complained of,, and for the. awakening
from that Indifference which la how
becoming manifest. Many laymcri bate
not realized that, while there are In this
country as wide opportunities aa there
ever were for young men, .and wider,
there Is not the cbtince there once waa
for men past middle life to attain ma
terial success in a new railing. This
change comes Inevitably when the wild
erness is conquered and the land really
populated. Then, again, many laymen
bnve had their Interest, not In religion,
but in the church and ita condition,
cooled by the attitude of some conspic
uous preachers, and their numerous
Imitators, toward themselves anil their
business. When the preucher becomes
a lecturer, apparently striving t
preach everything but tho gospel, deny
ing the authority of his olllce, and ask
ing to he taken simply oa a man In his
profession, others cannot be. blamed for
Judging him on his Individual merits.
Just as they do men In other profes
sions, and losing respect for the divine
culling which the preacher has virtual
ly repudiated. 1 There Is an Increasing
public consciousness of the change in
material conditions which makes It al
most Impossible for a man past middle
life who bus not achieved reasonable
success in bis calling to change It for
a new one. And theVe Is a growing
public awakening to the troth that the
Christian ministry, to be worth while,
must be not merely a profession chosen
like the lawyer's or the engineer's, but
a response to a divine, cau to deliver
message which Its bearer ,, cannot
know nnd be silent about. , With the
purghig of (he ministry that la slowly
but surely going oil with Ita Increas
ing restriction to men whu know thev
have tho message, as evidenced by that
very decline of cnndldatea for It so
much' lamented there should come a
new birth of resist for the real
preacher of the gospel for the man
who must and does preach the gospel
because ho cannot be silent without
fooling himself a traitor lo himself
and to God. And so the claims of
tho. worn-out preacher, Whose devotion
to his mission and his message has led
him to live for his faith, and that
alone, through all the yenrs until old
age comes and ho can do no more, are
pressing home to the benrta and souls
of men as thoy never" did before.
INDIA'S HIDDEN WEALTH.
Effort Will Be Had to Inrext Mil
lions. Mow la Concealment.
Some hundreds of millions of British
capital have been Invested In Indian
railways, but tho Hindoos themselves
have not been buyer of railway stocks
and bonds, soys the ' Itultluiore Sun.
flie money for the development of their
natural . resources has come from
abroad, with the result that the annual
Interest payments have to be made
abroad. It would be much .better for
these Interest payments to bo made at
home, and It ia now proposed to draw
for future loans upon the vast stores of
gold and silver known to bo hoarded by
the natives.
An official com mission, charged with
the task of considering the whole ques
tion of Indian railway finance, has re
cently reported that the annual capitat
expenditure of the government In the
construction of railways should be In
creased from $50,000,000 to $02,500,000.
"No definite limit," soys the report.
'can be assigned to the amount that
can bo remuneratively devoted to tha
development and expansion of the In
dian railway system." An Indian
official accordingly urges that an ef.
fort be made to enlist native capital in
the government's remunerative enters
prises. '
It ia estimated that $1,300,000,000 In
gold and perhapa as much In silver Is
hidden away In the Hindoo stocking.
Vast quantities of the precious metals
are known to be kept In the form of
personal ornaments, , From time In.
memorial India has been a reservoir
Into which the precious metals have
(lowed from ull quarters of the globe,
only to disappear from statlstlce. Could
tho Idle wealth be drawn upon, tha
effect on the Industrial and commer
cial life of the country would bo very
great. .. .
It Is, therefore, a matter of concern
to try to torn India's dormant ranttal
to active use. It may be Impossible to
do It. The oriental mind vlewj every
thing In way Incomprehensible to
westerners. Rut If only a tithe of the
concealed hoards of India were vital
ized, n new aspect mlsht be given to
the conditions of life In Knglund's

IMPROVED LABOR CONDITIONS.
. --By- VU Pfident Fairbanku
There has been during the past

' ivt'1 VV ',l" l"rfotlon nd Influence of la-

A have believed that the Improvement
of tho conditions of labor was n
' mutter of the very first Importance
' . to the great body of our citizenship.
Such gratifying Improvement Is due
c. w.
FAianAHKS,
to a wide discussion of labor's Interests and to the edu
cation of the jMople as to Its condition and as to Its real
aud Just needs. . i '
In the earlier days those who advocated au Improve
ment of the conditions (f labor and sought to enact laws
for Its protect lun were regarded by many as agitators,
as encroaching upon certain vested or natural rights of,
employers. Much progress bus been made since 'then.!
The-reforms which have been effected and which . are
now generally regarded as just, the Improvement of con
ditions In many hazardous undertakings for the protec
tion of the persons and lives of operatives, .the Improve
ment of Insanitary conditions which surround many
places of laborand other Improvements are proof of tbe
wisdom of organized effort and of discussion.

The sharp distinction sometimes drawn be
tween vocational studies and culture studies
Is already' being modified. Rome time It may
lie obliterated. Probably we Bhall have a iiew
definition, of culture. At any rate, vocation
lter'enfter Is to lie glorified not only for what It
contributes to national and Individual pros

Vocation is, not merely technique. ' It is not
merely breadwjrnlng. At Its best It Is a form of social
service In which, the whole man is engaged. , It relates
itself to most of tbe Individual dVmands for growth and
even more vitality to the social demands of family and
of state and of civil society., Hence. we shall discover
a way of making vocational training also a. liberal train

When Alzora Dunn had shaken the
dust of .Brattlevllle from her feet
literally, for It was a hot, dry summer
and departed for Chicago, Gus Mitch
ell of course had been at the railroad
station to see her off. ' 4
Brattlevllle boasted only 700 Inhabit
ants nnd the cellulofd collar was still
regarded with favor In Its society cir
cles. Around bis celluloid collar Gus
wore a narrow black string tie with
crumpled ends and there was a photo
graph burton of Alzora in the lapel of
his coat. He also had abaloue shell
cult links. In spite of this he had a
good, squnre Jaw and a look In his
eyes that a . woman could trust, ne
had a heroic smile on his face as he
crushed Al'ora's fingers at parting. '
"You're sure, Zory?" he asked, a
trifle tremulously. "There ' Isn't any
hope for me? You don't enre?"
For an Jnstant Alzora Dunn, her yel
low hair shlnUig In the sun, her pfetty,
frivolous face pink with the excitement
of her departure, felt a sudden qualm.
Ever since she could remember Gus
had tagged around after her. Of
course Bhe liked bliu but marry him,
never!
Of late she had Telt that she was
born to shine In higher circles. The
letters of n girl friend who had gone to
Chicago and was a, clerk In the store
where a position now nwalted Alzora
had caused her to look at Brattlevllle
with scornful eyes. , She shuddered to
think that she might still be stupidly
measuring ribbons In Gus Mitchell's
father's general store had It not been
for Carrie's letters.
When Alzora sioke to Gus at farting
it waa as from a great height, bending
down to one in a lowly rut, one for
whom she had a friendly, pitying re
gard. "Xo, Gus,' she said. "I like you and
all that but I don't love you!"
The train whistled long as It spun
across tbe bridge-! As Gus Mitchell
stood watching it with a lump hi his
thront he thought of a mora at picnics,
at parties. In his buggy, laughing up
at him. He had felt she cared for him
and It came bard,
Alzora rarely thought of Gus the first
few weeks in Chicago. The newness,
the excitement, the rush dominated her
entirely, nnd underneath ran the cur
rent of expectation. Hadn't a girl at
the white goods counter upstairs mar
ried only tbo previous week a traveWng
man who made $2.0(K a year. There
were six lu Alzoru'a family and never
hud her father's Income exceeded $000.
Only two nnd. f 1,000 each, to spend!
Not that Alzoru was distinctly mer
cenary, but such tbiugs were like fairy
tales to her.
It was not long before the floorwalk
