...power. It is often said that the spotless man cannot help and sympathize with the man who has sinned, because of his own inexperience in sin-as if a doctor should not set a broken arm unless his own arm had been fractured. A man does not need to soil his won life to help to purify the lives of others. The great power in life belongs not to the man who is tarnished but to the man who is innocent. It is Jesus Christ, the unstained, who is the most powerful figure in the New Testament...

The distribution of water beneath the surface and the depth at which it can be found are shown upon maps prepared by the Geological Survey, while the capacity and cost of reservoir sites for conserving the flow are exhibited...
Professor Francke says: "My sympathy is entirely with the Boers as men fighting for home and liberty. I hope for a restoration of Dutch supremacy in South Africa, because the Dutch have identified themselves with the soil, while the English go there merely for commercial purposes. I should, of course, regret the crumbling to pieces of the British empire, but I do not see why this would be of necessity the consequence of an English defeat in South Africa. For, together with the United States and Germany, England will be able to hold her own against Russia and France, even...
