Hev. Mr. Kloss nM: "Tho American
peoplo nro Icnrnlnit something iiovvndn)
of the folly of waste. It takes no fore
sight to see that there are still a few los
sons In economy nltcml, both for our nu
tlon and for Individuals,
"It might seem strange that man has
to struggle more than any of the creations
of Hod tor the means of existence. , Theie
seems to be prodigious and prodigal waste
In the natural world uvtrywhere, nnd
what benlllcont object Is concealed under
It Is only known to the Creator.

Indicate the waste that Is going on con
tinually In nature. There Is that rotting
In ono pirt of Lie world which would bo
sustenance nnd life for till tho other p-irts.
Man has hut the erut of the earth, and
only a little of that crust for his use, nnd
even that little Is cursed.
"'In the sweat of thy face slnlt thou
eat bread," but this, like nearly every one
of noil's curse's, often proves an untold
blessing, And for the reason that It Is a
blessing, man must struggle tor existence,
In real lire there must be the heroic,
always. Sous of luxury nte only half
born as a rule, and the man now- that does
not sweat as n laborer, whether he bo
the son of the millionaire or of a hobo, Is
n pauper and p.n.isttc.
"Horace Hushnoll ha
has well said: 'To give
man a start God thtew him out of his
equilibrium nt the beginning, lncorpor.it

rrudo possibilities by strenuous exertion
God gives man this short supply but to
send him to the laboratory of n iture,
nnd thereby giving him law materials, en
courages him to be a creator, livery new
want discovered but whets this creative
faculty. It Is the puipose and meaning of
labor, when once discovered by man,
which reveals tho tianseondent goodness
of God. Nothing Is so moving; nothing
brings out fe-ult) nnd worship as this dis
covery of the great historical fact that
God treats men as co-workers, pirtneis.
"It was only when the piodlgal began
to be In want that ho remembered there
was enough und to spare In his father s
house. It Is tho need and want of men
which stimulates Invention. This contin
ual struggle and wiestle with the forces
of natuie Is the very condition of piogiess,
nnd men are beginning to discover that
this very toll of theirs when lightly used,
Is nothing more or less than natural wor
ship. "The veiy struggle for existence teaches
men dependence upon God and men, and
this the lisun ot the centuries.
"Hut In thK gieat stiugglo men have
failed to see their dependence, nnd so It
has.bccomo a "-eUlsli strire with thu con
sequence that tho weakest, of course, have
gone to the wall. The struggle Is the sur
vival of the tltlest, and It was In the past
nges with this definition, that the llttest
nre the strongest physically This still ob
tains In our great mlllt.uv despotisms
which are expiring slowly. The llttest now
nre the strongest llnnnci.illv. The coming
struggle Is to put the definition of llttest
sclentltleally considered where It nlwavs
ought to have been, because underneath
nil this struggle there Is that which sages
predicted, poets dreamed and Christ re
vealed, the doctrine of tho suivlv.U of the
mot ally lit. ,,,,.,
"Science knows nothing of a hell. It Is
out of tho i.uige of the empirics, but it is
beginning to believe that tho ethically un
lit cannot and will not survive.
"If we could suppose tho vvnild to bo
bursting with granaries and the things
which we strive and struggle to obtain,
the conlllct would not carry on. The so
cialist overlooks too often this fundament
al. All ho can hope to do is to (tpnlUo
conditions; give men an equal chance, to
conquer nature, and create out of raw
materials, things of beauty, comfort and
use. The most beautiful and sacred thing
about a fiome is the knitting together of
hearts which comes by the thousand and
one sactltlces, and tin- dally enres In tho

first the great number of w mis within him

of this. It It is dltlleult to wrest u living
out of nature, If lliero Is no io).iI io.nl lo

City Treasurer Green Is convinced that
enough ehnngis nro neidcd In the city
charter all-cling his own department to
hnve a spielal election to nutlioilKe thein.
He wants the charter so amended that In
cases where lots front on two streets tho
frontngo on the street which Is to be im
proved must pay for the Improvements,
instead ot allowing the cost of the Im
provement to be divided iqually between
the fiontnges on the two striets. The mat
ter was called to Ills attention a few d t) s
ago w hen a man made a tender of pa) incut
of half Ihe taxes on u lot fronting on two
wtieets, on which lot spcil.il taxes had
been levied for un Improvement on one of
the striets. The person making the ten
der wanted to pay half of the tax bill and
wanted the h ilf of the lot fronting on the
Improved stteet released fiom Its share
or the taxes levli-d against ihe whole lot.
'this would leave thu owin-i or the pan
of tho lot fronting on the unimproved
street to pay half of tho whole bill, while
he would get none of the benellt. In cases
where the propel ty Is very valuable und
the Improvements extensive, this kind ot
a division w until be a serious matter for
the owner for the part dlscrlmlntcd
against.
