EVERY PASTOR A CONFESSOR
That's What Dr. Charles M. Sheldor
Would Like to See.
Topeka , May 10. The Rev. Charles
M. Sheldon , pastor of the Central Con
gregational church , author of "In His
Steps , " and several other widely reai
books , believes that every pastor of r
Protestant church should have a con
fcsslonal , where tlio members of hh
flock could go to .his pastor and pom
their troubles Into a willing ear and re
celvo wholesome advice. Ho does n 1
intend that this confession should be
In the nature of that followed by rhe
Catholic church , where forgiveness cl
sin is given by the father confessor
It should bo a place where those
heavily laden with cares and trials
and tribulations could unload thelt
burdens.
"The relations of the minister to his
congregation , " Dr. Sheldon said
"should be such that the members
would be free to go to him and confess
their troubles and receive advice. 1
do not In the least advocate the doc
trine of the forgiveness of sins , but II
seems to me that the minister , In order
dor to fulfill his full duty to the churcl :
and to his Hock , ought to make him
self so useful that the members would
feel free to confide in him about any
thing that concerns them. The Bap
tlst Emmanuel church of Boston Is
carrying out this Idea now. I have
been working along this line for manj
years.
"The confessional Is not entirely n
spiritual matter. It is a place where
people can carry their troubles ol
whatever kind or nature , business
spiritual and religious , family affairs
and purely personal matters. It Is the
working out of the plan tp' give more
help to the congregation. Some min
isters work with the Idea that theli
connection with the affairs of the con
gregation ends with the preaching ol
the sermons and the calls and the per
functory routine followed by all ,
There is much other good work that
can and ought to bo done.
"The Roman Catholic church has
understood human nature for centu
ries. The Protestants have not bad
this understanding. The Catholic con
fessional contemplates the forgiveness !
of sins , but Its chief hold has been In
aiding the members of tlio church to
bear the burdens they have to carry ,
Human endurance will bear up under
certain troubles to a certain extent
and then It snaps. If one Is able tc
tell his troubles to another In whom
he has confidence and who may be
able to glvo advice and aid the troti
bled ono feels better and stronger at
ter the telling , although tha troublt
may not bo solved or lightened In tin
least. That IB human nature. "

A VOLCANIC MONUMENT.
Wonderful Old Balancing Rock Near
Portland , Ore.
Ono of the most remarkable rocks in
the world Is that known as the "bal
ancing rock , " which stands on the
bank of the Willamette river a short
distance above the city of Portland ,
Ore. Rising from n broad base is a
small column roughly round m shape.
Just above this Is a huge mass of rock
bearing a tree on the summit , the total
height of rock and column being about
n hundred feet.
Although a { Treat deal larger and
heavier than the pillar err which It
stands , the big rock Is very accurately
balanced. For bow many centuries
this odd freak has stood not even the
wisest scientists are able to determine ,
but it has evidently been there for a
very long period.
The entire rock Is of n volcanic na
ture , and the most singular thing
about It is the fact that the "knob and
pillar are entirely disjointed from one
another. AVI ml and weather no doubt
are slowly wearing the "balancing
rock" nwny , but the process Is so Im
perceptible that , falling some unforeseen -
see-n catastrophe , the monument will
probably endure for many centuries-

RUCKER OFFERS SUGGESTION
Twirler Says Ho Would Tie Bases
Down With Rubber Bands.
Fate had put it up to George Bell ,
the big farmer from Academy Cor
ners , Pa. , to pitch the opening game
for Brooklyn against Boston.
Nap Buckuor had set his heart on
starting the season , and he was ex
tremely reluctant to admit that his
twisted ankle would put him out of the
game for weeks.
Nap Is far from n spendthrift , and
the news had another angle that hurt
him.
"Gee , " he complained , "have I got to
stop longer at that fifteen dollar n
week hotel ? "
It was suggested that Nap take a
taxicab home , but he balked at the dollar
lar expense when a trolley car cost only
u ailckel.
"Say , " said Buckncr , "why can't they
fasten the bases down with a rubber
band so there would be some give to
them ? It would prevent n lot of these
accidents. "

game and Hies n record away each day ,
so that when a player comes to signIng -
Ing a contract and asks for more money -
oy Connie can show him Just what be
lias boon able to do on every occasion
be went to the plate. There Is some
system to that.

climbing to fortune which ho suffered
Talking on the benefit of battling with
the world , he said ;
"The boy who Is up against making
his own wny is far the most self re
liant. The scions of tbo wealthy are
satisfied for the most part to be nonen
tities.
"If every man and woman In the
world OOP * his and her duty every
child will lie taught to save. They
will ilius bu taught to build character
and credit. If the > wealthy do their
duty by their servants they will glvo
them every opportunity to save. Mi-

save. They nil have from $2,000 to
$0,000 Invested In stock which pays 0
