Th« study of the Bible is still an Im-portant feature- of the work at Cb.au-tauQiia, but, besides this, there areclasses in nearly every branch ofteaming, kindergartens for the chil-dren, lectures and entertainments foriall, and gymnasiums and athleticsports for those who wish to invigor-ate bodies as -well as brains.

To give' harmonious and well-bal-anced instruction to body, brain andspirit, that ia the ideal of Chautauqua,

, Institution-—the Mother Chautauqua,'as It Is fondly called by many. And,-80 far aa possible, that Is the ideal ad-

A CHATTTATTQUA AUDIENCE,for it knows no creed, neither Is Itmanacled by the chains of commer-cialism. Under its Influence, cityreaches to town and town to countryin a common feeling of brotherhood.In the Chautauqua entertainmentslive the life-giving laughter whichlifts man. up. an* glorifies existence.The Chautauqau is a crucible in whichare fused all the essential -elements forthe upbuilding of the individual andthe community. Through It educationgets added impetus, and religionstrength and force. Before it wrongcringes, uri selfishness—and" greedgrow less.

What do you think of Nebraska? Ne-braska has sixty-one towns of a, thou-sand or more people. Last summerthe state accommodated fifty-five Chau-tauquas, attended in the aggregate by750,000 people.

To the AlumniOF HAMMONTON HIGH SCHOOt,

At the time when special activi-ties in our schools, incident .to theclosing of the school year, apeattheir height; when our wholp'townis'filled with enthusiasm for youngAmerica, and when the eager grad-uates are making final preparationsfor the great turning-point in theirlives, known as "Commencement,"then it is that we who have alreadycrossed the line that forever sepa-rates us from our Alma Mater, feeltingling within us the sweet andhappy memories of the time whenwe should reunite iu common spiritin appreciation of the benefits wehave derived from our Alma Mater,and for Ike-encouragement-of-ourschools, the Seniors a3 well as theJuniors who would attain to highereducation.

The question has been repeatedlyasked, "Why are the Alumni ofHammonton High School so indif-ferent to their Association ?" Sev-eral minor reasons have been pre-sented, but there is to my mindbut one fact that interferes withour AsHociution'x success, and thatis Mtagnntion. Ill the twelve yearsof itH existence there has beennothing done of a substantial na-ture to nhoiy its worth. Let it takeup aud carry through an object inbehalf of our schools, nuch as theestablishing of a school library,the erection of an attractive anduseful memorial on School Park,or even the granting of a Hcliolur-tthip would not be too high nit aim,and our individual alumni, feelingthat a distinctive work wan beingcarried* on, would support it rightroyally?"

With two hundred and eighty-five membera linked together, wecan exert a trenicndouti power forgood in our town.

To create the nucleus of n fundfor thiu jiurjKiHc, high-chins lecturorior educational entertainments maybe given during the winter months,with pooslhly a fair preceding theholidays. Tlienc would nerve toHturt UH on our way. Then thereare those who, realizing what agreat factor the Ilummonton HighSchool lum been in the HUCCCMH oftheir life work, would be ghul of!he opportunity to contribute to m>worthy an object.

There are, in morecent Sunday we heard St. Peter say: J. thoughtful moments, the ubiquitous"For ye were as sheep going astraybut are now returned unto the shep-herd and bishop of your souls." Butthe saying was not original with St.Peter. A marginal note refers us toIsaiah,-and in Isaiah 53:6 we read:

novels (not the iniquitous, it is hop-ed). There are, in more idle moments,the flood of illustrated weeklies jindmonthly magazines, ready to nand~iora short wait before meals or for alook and a laugh before going to bed.

"All we like sheep have gone astray; | Not, understand, that we condemnwe have turned every one to hie own j such reading matter (some of it is lit-way? and the Lord hath laid on him i erature) altogether and outright. Wethe iniquity of us all." That Is to say, j do not deny that' much of it, perhapsthe apostle here (and frequently else-where) borrows from the evangelicalprophet; but we have selected justthis instance because of the thoughtIt has suggested, namely, whether we

Tne man wno wants to have posi-tive assurance that he has found the:rue religion must begin at foundationprinciples. It is foolish for a man whois. not- yet a Christian to stumble overquestions in regard to which different,'Iews are entertained among evan-gelical Christians. It will . be timeenough for. him to study suc% ques-lons after he has made sure of his

foundation."What is truth?" Jesus said, "I am

the way, the truth,- and the life." Heis the corner stone of the Christianreligion. He Is the Christian religion.And the man who wants to arrive atassured belief must begin by askinghimself if the Christ of the Gospels iswhat He claimed to be, or not. Doesthe life and teaching of Jesus as re-ported in the Gospels correspond w;IthHis claim to be the Son of God andthe only source of spiritual life, andenlightenment for men? If it does notthen the Christian religion is a falsereligion: if It does, then the Christianreligion Is the true religion, and theonly true religion'. It was a tremen-dous claim that Jeslis niade. and thatclaim must be definitely acknowledgedor ^.definitely rejected .i»y^e«er.v onewho wishes to be honest with him-self.

This is one of the most striking andmost characteristic stories concerningJesus that has been handed down tous. It reveals the sympathetic heartof Jesus In contrast with the hardnessof heart of the censorious'Pharisee.

It Is Instructive to note in thefirst place1 that Jesus was not unwill-ing , to accept the Pharisee's Invita-tion, though He knew well the prideand hypocrisy that filled, the Phari-see's heart, and those sins were evi-dently even more repulsive to Htmthan the greed of the publicans or thelicentiousness of sinful women.

We must always remember thatJesus looked upon life and upon chaiv.acter from a very .. different stand-point from that which we naturally

j assume; for our ideas are largely, it.

These first Christians ,tooktheir religion to heart. It was tothem the great fact' of life, and1 theyhad the .courage of their convictions.They knew what relentless persecu-tion meant, and they knew that theirLord was able to sustain them In theseverest trials. (Read Acts 26: 9-11.)

The persecution of Daniel for pray-ing to God and the persecution of histhree companions for refusing to wor-ship Nebuchadnezzar's golden imageboth resulted in a very widespreadproclamation of the greatness andfaithfulness of the God -whom theyserved. See Dan. 3: 28-30 and Dan.G; 25-28.

And In our own times Christianityhas gained a much stronger hold onChina and stands much higher in theestimation of th people of China gen-erally ever since the persecution ofthe Christians at the time of theBoxer.troubles a few years ago. Thesteadfastness of the large number ofChristians who suffered martyrdom atthat time made a strong Impressionon the minds of tho people, and thonumber of ' yearly conversions In-creased greatly after that distressingcalamity.

voice was pleading, buteloquently calm. Thedoctor, supposed to heas unimpressionable asa piece of flint, andfrowning a Httle.thought

that they had never seen such wonder-ful grey eyes' In such a sweet, pallidBetting. "Doctor! I'll wait here. Iwant you to tell me all. All! I lovehim so, that' I must;know. if youthink that he Is not to recover—ifyou think that the shock to- hisbrain—"

" her hand was lifted involuntarily fromthe doctor's arm. With a quick whis-per—"We shall see! Wo shall see!"—Dr. Dempsey took advantage of thepause, stepped sharply into the sickroom, and closed the door behind him.There was one thing he could havetold her without hesitation: If herhusband survived the accident thosegood looks ot his were gone—his facewas marred and scarred for-life.

Alice Wlshart had meant to listen,Instead,, she found herself tiptoeingback down the staircase, hardly know-Ing why, until she saw the maid stand-

"Any answer, ma'am?" whisperedthe maid. And slowly Alice Wlsharttore open the envelope addressed toher husband.

A little moan arose. In her throat,but not apparently, because she hadfully realized. She stood motionles-aso long, gazing at the telegram, thatthe maid ventured to touch her armWith a tremor, a blank In her full greyeyes, Alice Wishart looked up.

"No—no answer, Mary!" her drylips just sounded. "You—you neednot wait"

The hall-door closed softly; themaid was Rone. Unseen, unheard, t f cc.woman's .gllght figure mav.edl^tcadlls_a step or" so, and then sank down sud-denly upon the lowest stair.

It was addressed to his wife andhad been opened. Feebly the mandrew out the sheet of paper inside,and lay staring. It was a demand forpayment for furs and trinkets suppliedto Mrs. Wishart— whether Just re-

Trembling in every limb, AliceWishart pressed the boy's1 small figure

"You will trust me still, dear," shesaid, with, all the calmness that wasleft to her. "Trunt my love—yes: I—cannot sa*?>more!"

"Then," he said, with a vehemencethat shook her, numbed her, "then—go! I have trusted too long. Go!You are no wife of mine from thismoment!"

As still as . though her heart hadceased to beat, AH£e Wlshart stooda moment more, unconscious even ofthe fight she was waging to keep himto her. • Tien, as his pointing fingerdropped back and his face turned, shegroped from the. room.

No tears would come. She, actedmechanically, like one In a. dream—one crushed by injustice too deep tobe met or answered. All was a mist—all was muffled. She scarcely knewthat she had taken her hat and cloakand descended the staircase with slowfeetrnor why, with her hand upon thehall door, she paused. It was thevague thought -of /the boy whose roomshe had passed—the clinging little fig-ure that would w.aken with daylightto know she had gone; it was thesemi-conscious final look back at what

Success is not the offspring of a mi.racle. Concentratedthought closely allied with determination is the secret ofsuccess. However, do not for one moment think that be-cause determination is mentioned as an ally, it "is a second-ary feature. It is most important. All the concentratedthought available would nothing about success unkss de-termination was there, and very much there.

A diamond mine is a diamond mine, but what good isit until the stones are taken out and put into shape to sell?

The human being is 'a good deal like a diamond mine,ful l of possibilities, but raw and undeveloped, and, like thediamond, your thoughts are useless unti l polished andready to market.

These thoughts are the requirements necessary forsuccess, hut as long as they lie buried or the diamonds re-main unmined neither will be of any use to either theirowners or any one else.

If you want anything on this earth you must dig, anduse as your spade the sharpest and best tempered tools,and keep on digging until you accomplish your purpose.No doubt there will be a few aches and pains, amf at timesyou will be mighty tired, but by keeping everlastingly at ityou will strike that "pay dirt" called success. You mayhave the diamond mine and the thought tools, hut they willhe of no use to yon unless you "dig." Suppose you startIn now and jam the first spade home to-day.

Value of Production More Than Mil-lion and 'a Half Dollars—Imports

Small "and Decreasing.

So-called "genuine lava tips" arenot made from lava, but from talc,with which soapstone Is closely allied.The talc and soapstone Industry isan Important smaller branch of ourmineral production. Last year, ac-cording to a report by J. S. Dlller,of the United States Geological Sur-vey, Issued as an advance chapterfrom "Mineral Resources': for- 1911,the production was 143 551 short tons,valued at $1,646,018.. This was a de-crease in quantity compared with1910 of 7,165 tons, but an Increase inprice of ?53,G25, due apparently to thesale of a large proportion of the out-put In manufactured form. The im-ports for consumption in 1911 weroonly 7,550 tons, valued at $88.288, adecrease of nearly. 10 per cent. Inquantity and of 18 per cent. In valuecompared with the corresponding 1m- .ports for 1910.

With the exception of a small pro-duction in California the entire out-put of talc and s-oapstone In theUnited States comes from a compara-

tively narrow belt of ancient crystal-line rocks running through the At-lnntic-States--from—Massachusetts-andVermont to Georgia. The producingstates are Georgia, Maryland, Massa-chusetts, New Jersey, New York,N'orth Carolina, Pennsylvania, RhodeIsland, Vermont, and Virginia. Morethan 43 per cent, of the total outputof the United States In 1911 came.'rom New York.

The supply of best grades of talc inthe United States, such as are used'or toilet powders, electric- Insulators,-•us1 tips, and the "like, is not nearly-'qual to the demand, and these gradesare.imported, chiefly from" Italy and'France. • -

Talc and soapstone are usually mar-ceted either "in rough or crude formrora the mine, sawed Into slabs, asnanufactured articles, or as groundale. The uses to which they are>ut Include tne manufacture of bath'md laundry tubs, fire brick for stoves,leaters, etc.. hearth stones, mantels,Inks, grldd!es,-Blate-pencllSr-gas-tl5Si—

jther articles for everyday use, foun-Iry facings, paper, lubricators, for'resslng skins and leather, paint, plg-nent, etc.

Hammonton Chautauqua.

'Though the dates for the Cliautauqua have been widely advertised'or two months, not until last Saturday's "Republican" appeared didmany of our church people reali/.e that a Sunday was included. Tho'only religious exercises would he held that day, the fact of having topay for the day's program did npt.meet with unanimous approval.

Consequently, protests were sent in by the Pastors, to the Penna.Association, also to our local Committee ; but of course it was too late:o alter the date;; of twenty-three cities and towns to accommodateMammon tun.

We regret this Sunday date as much as anyone ; but realizing tha tit was weeks too late to-accomplish any change, have not encouragedthe protests, but rather , advised that they be not sent.

We believe every session of the Chautauqua wi l l be en te r t a in ing ,ins t ruc t ive , a moral and religions up l i f t for all , something to t h i n k over,and, like a si-mum, make better people of us.

Had they wakened up before, arrangements could have been madefor an all (lay (or just the evening) union service, such as many othertowns are doing, with the I'astors leading in devotional exercises. Tin-}'have missed an oppor tun i ty ol reaching the ears of many people whonever enter a church.

The promoters of the. Chail tanc |ua are Chr is t ian men ; the backersof the enterprise cannot receive any profit , according lo their Charter ;but the profit, if any , wil l go .toward bettering the next season's course.

Proceedings may have been s ta r t ed to "hold up" lo morrow'sprogram, and if the plan sncceedn, pflblic notice will be giveh.

There w i l l be no admission charges to-morrow.The course started yesterday, We advise everyone to t a k e in the

MISS MARY TURVEY was

a housemaid, and whilein service with a cer-tain West-end family,she met, and promptly

fell' in love with, Police ConstableJohn Rlbrose.

For a few weeks all was Illss,then John was shifted on to anotherbeat, and with fresh surroundings(and fresh housemaids) his ardorcooled as far as Mary was con-cerned. ,

"Did you shift your coat and hel-met from where I put It, Bob?" shegasped.

"Shift It? No; why?""It—It ain't there!""Ain't Well, I'll be jiggered!"

ejaculated the gallant officer as hesurveyed the empty peg in amaze-ment.

"How am I going to meet my ser-geant like this? Where on earthcould It have vanished to?" he asked.'

Phalen on "Bauxite andAluminum," an- advance chapter from"Mineral Resources of the UnitedStates" 'for 1911, which gives a com-prehensive review of the Industry forthe year. Bauxite ore, the presentsource for metallic aluminum, is min-ed in .Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama,and Tennessee, the output from theseStates combined amounting In 1911 to166,618 long tons, valued^-at $750,649,an increase of about B per cent. Inboth quantity and value comparedwith the figures for,, 1910. The in-crease, though small, shows a health-ful condition of- the Industries depen-dent on this ore for raw material.

The chief uses of bauxite are in themanufacture of metallic aluminum, ofaluminum salts, of alundum or fusedalmlna, which finds extensive use asan abrasive, . and to a minor extentin the making of bauxite brick andof plaster compositions.

• Uses Many and Varied.The use of the metal aluminum and

its alloys lu automobiles, dirigibleballoons, and aeroplanes is constantlyincreasing. In the form of inagna-lium it is used in the beams of ana-lytical balances, and other new alloysare being constanly brought to publicattention. The metal is also employedin paper decorations and for wrap-ping. It is reported to have been' usedin the textile industries, where it hasbeen combined with silk, to which Itimparts a peculiar brilliancy, particu-larly adapted to theatrical and cere-monial costumes. , It has. found and isconstantly finding a host of applica-tions in smaller articles of everydayuse and ornamentation. The OrdnanceDepartment of the United States Armyrecently awarded a contract for sixtythousand or more aluminum canteensand cups. The metal Is now beinguse in various other ways In the lightfield equipment of the army.

The report contains statistics ofproduction, consumption, and world'sproduction of bauxite; production andimports of aluminum salts; and con-.sumption ,and. exports of metallicaluminum. Descriptions are given ofthe occurrence and possible newsources of aluminum salts in Utahand Alabama, the bauxite fields tn theSouthern States, the uses and meth-ods of purifying the raw ore, the man-ufacture of aluminum, and tho alu-minum market conditions for the year.The nlloya of aluminum, an attrac-tive field of research, are also dis-cussed.

Finally they both agreed that if shewould tell which of. them In her heartshe preferred the one whom "give didnot prefer would abandon the Held tothe other without laying any blameupon her. But it was not a matter ofbFame from them, but a disinclinationto give either of them pain. Sho de-clined to consent to this propositionbut said she would pray to be shownher' duty. She prayed, but no signcame to guide her.

One day when she was making can-dles her two lovers1 came to her together, and Benediction said:

Advance Statement of the Final Flfrures of the United States Geolog-ical Survey for 1911.

The United States Geological Su»••«y has just issued an advance stat*ment of the productiou,.:Of copper In911. This statement, prepared by B,

S. Butler, gives final figures of pn>duction as made up from reports from

II the reduction plants. The prelimi-nary estimate of the smelter outpoJof the country, issued by the Geolog*cal Survey January 2, 1912, differed'rom the final figures by but a frao-:ion of 1 per cent.

The total smelter production fromires mined in the United States war,097,232,749 pounds. This is the lajff

est production in the history of theIndustry and compares favorably with

_foi__" "'Ihe' outEUt_o_f 1,080,15.9^0!1910. ''"" '.' ' '

Arizona again heads the list <£copper producing States with a praduction of 303,202,532 pounds, thelargest production ever made by theState. Montana is second,' with 271*814,491 pounds; Michigan third, with218,185,236 pounds, and Utah fourtfcwith 142,340,215 pounds.

Large Increase In Alajska.The most notable gains were made

by Alaska and Utah, the productionof Alaska, increasing from 4,311,036pounds in 1910 to 22,314,889 pound*In 1911, and tha$ of Utah from186,455 pounds in 1910 to 142,340,216pounds In 1911.

The States showing the most martoed. falling off in output were Callfo*nia and Montana. The former de-creased 45,760,200 pounds In 1910 GO35,835,651 pounds in '1911, and Uwlatter from 283,078,473 pounds in 1911to 271,814,491 pounds in 1911. In Ca*ifornla the decrease was due to diffi-culty In controlling smelter fume*;In Montana It was caused by voln».tary curtailment due to the condition'of the copper market.

The total 'production of refined copper from primary,mestlc and foreign, was 1,433,875,031pounds In 1911, compared with039,135 pounds in 1910.

In addition to the copper producedfrom ore a total of 214,000,000 pound*was recovered by the treatment of .old copper and brass, copper andbrass scraps, filings, clippings, etc.

The consumption of copper in th«United States, for 1911 was apparently somewhat smaller than in tho pr*vlous year, but the amount exportotwns considerably greater, so that In*stocks of refined copper held In tb*United States were materially redactcd.

BOTH WERE 8MART.

The other day, during the dinnershour, two bricklayers wore ploylnlcards In tho bouse thoy were bulld-Ing. "Looli here, matuy," Bald Bill."this banker la too tilow. Let's tryHomothlnK more exciting. I'll hot youn dollar that I cut the ace of diamond*tho first tlmo."
