CDBBEMT TOPICS.

—Tba reign of Debs seems to have about come to a close. It'was brief, but be made things pretty lively while it lasted. The only parallel for it in history of which we can think is Robespierre in the French Revo-lution. Robespierre's reign was a little bnger and much bloodier, bat there is a good deal of similarity in the two oases—with the differ-ence that Bobsspisrre ended by los-ing his head, while Debs has not. We are inclined to think, though, that in reality he began by losing his head.

—China and Japan are about to go to war with each other over the pos-session of Cotea, which liee between the twocoontrisa. Chinahasapopn-hitioD esUmi anywhnte from 250 to 400millions,whil8 Japan has a pop-olatioo ot only forty millions. The Japansse are plucky little fellows, howsvsr; and besides Uiis th^ are much more progieasive than the Chi-nsse, and have more nodem inven-tioBS. If th r do BOt win the fight, they will certainly give the Chinese a hard straggle. Bat back of China aad Japan croaohes the Bussian bsar, vsady at the first opportunity to rush in between the tm> combatants udasiie the piey. We hope that war may be avwted, and that Corse may praaeve her aatonomy. Corea has baen quite an inviting mission fisld. Amedical mission thevehaabsen vsiy snccassfal. We should fsel sor rrif anycoDfliot should arise to af feet oar miaridnary operotiona there.

-On last Friday,Pfendeigast, who asaasaiintad >lfr. Carter Harriaoo, Mayor ot Chicago, jnrt at thedose ot the fiTorld'a Fair, bat October, was Imged in CUci«a The only ngntaboQtit waathetaidy justice wUoh waa mated oat to him.

JosUce has bsoome entiralytooalowinoiurhuid. Its pace nsada tobeqalelnaed. It is oo this aooooat that wa have ao many mobs.

talked about closing the saloons. That was certainly thoi tfal. after the mischief had been done. But why Ulk of closing the saloonaf Why not the churchesT We thought the churches were the onee who were " out of qrmpathy with the laboring men," while the uloons were in thor-ough sympathy with them. Why, then, close the saloons and not the churchesf Is this fact not a suffi-cient argument that the churches sre the real friends of the wtnkingman, and the saloons are his rsal memisst The fsct is, that but for the ealoona with their "bad Uquor," as it waa callsd. and mishlng ss t|isy did a rallying pcwt for the lawleaa ele-ments,thm would not have been half the trouble in Chicegothat there was. It is reported that the aaloons "did the most phenomenal business thsy ever knew" during a day ot rioting, this is not surprising. Then anothw thing: if it's a good thing to close the saloons tsmporarily in caas .of utouble, to atop the trouble, would it not beagood thing to doae them psr-maneatly,80 as to pievsnt anj troabls before it oomss; An ounce of pceven-ti(m, you know, ia worth a pound of curs.

—It was fortunate for the country that during the rscent strike we had such a man as PresidMit devslsnd in the White Honse-a man with back-bone, with sense and who had no favcMTS to ssk of any one. It the President of the United Statseduring the strike had been like the Mayor of Chicago and the Governor of lUi-noia—in sympathy with the atriksvs and riotsrs—the rioting wonld have beMi going on now, hi all pnribability. Or, to put it ano^ wayt the May-or ot Chicago ^ the Governor of IlUnoia had been like the President of the United States, the riothig would dther have never bsgnn or would have been very soon ended. It waa only when devehmd took the firm atand that he did that the riot-ing waa diei^ aad the bedc-bone (rf the strike was brokni. It is worth a great dsal to the country to have anch a man in ofike at audi a time. We hope the pei^ of CSticago and of lUinois have had soonfl of aahMsi men and anardiista inoffieeband that thaj will hsnatlsr deet to office peo-jplewho have aeme qipiadation of the dignity and the importaaoeof tha office toCwhidi they are ded*d,aad of raapeetfor hwandordsr.

The Seeds of Anareby in Modem OlrOlzattoo.

ST LOOS ALBEST BASKS, D D. (Author of " The White SlaTea." etc.) We are havingatrihing iUustrationa

recently of how amall the world ie be-coming through elsetrie communica-tion. An Italian baker lad, aoarce out of hie taenia a povsrty stricksn tramp without numey enough to pay hie car fare, maksa a aingle da|^ thrust, and the caUee moan under the ocean, the telegraph wirsa wail through the air, ten thousand newqiepor . groan aiod sweat undsr the burden ot extra editions, and before a day has passed the alert vanguard at beat of a thousand million peofde spsaking a dozen lsnguageaandmMe,ateatirred with inteisat and exdtsd discussion ovM anardiy'a blest vktim, the mnr dered French Pfesideat,Ssdi-Carnot

Thb crime b a far mote anifioant dssd than was the assaasinaticm either Lincoin or Gaifidd. The crimi-nal in thb caae b an avowed anaidi-bt, and whib it b posaiblj t|Wk M now appears, that there was no gen-eral pbt behind thb wretched youth to eupport him ui thb paiti<»br dia-bolical act, it b abo true that the gsn-eral ploiot allanardiy btoconwiit justsudicrinissaathb Thsrebbut one q;nni(m among all good dtizena throughoat the dvilind world, and thiU b that anaidiy, so fsr aa poaai-bb must be stamped out oteibtence, root and bram It b to the dbcus-donot thsseroots of anarchy that we may well turn our thoughta in timaa like thsss. For whib it b our duty to punish criminals it b the hsight (rf wiadom to prevent otiminda from be-mg bom and brad. The most aUrm-mg fact in the pisaent outkok for dv-ilisation b that we are aowbg the aura

much on h« armiaa as for eduoatioa. France, almost always ahaddering be-fore the ghaatly hag of oommunbm, and now atanding in horror about her mnrdsred president, gosscm niokbss-ly spsndii more tfaian twelve' times aa much for war aa foe sdioob. Bus-sb sncaess hsr ralas in bomb-proof coats of mail, guards thdr pdacas with immsnse armiss, and aasma as-tonished at the prevabnce ot Nihil-iam when tnr every franc she spends in educating her ignmnt milHona, aha apends mote than sixty fraoca getting ready for the barbarism ot war.

And hste in Amsrica, in oar own country, no inteUlgent dtizsn can stndy the problem of the incrsasfaig illiteracy ot great sscttons of onr do-main without ahame and abrm. Not only b theredangerb thegrsatoolor-sd popubtions whohaveagoodexcnss tor bdng bddnd hi ths taae for knowl-edge, and who are making oommend-abb advancemait,'bat hi brge aeo-tbna of the oountiy the tooteaaa b the number of ignorant peopb amoi« the whitaa b almost beyond bdbf.

It does not anawsr to say that there are biger nnmbsts of edncated pao-jpb in the world to day than evar be-fors. We f<»get that the ignorant masses ot andent nationa had no such sharp-edged tooib aa are pat into the handa ot the OUterate maasaa ot modftn Europe and Amstica.

Job Work,

The BAMN AND RBrLKoroa solicits orders for sU kinds of job work, suoh ss the printing of minutes, tracts, cirooUus, cards, etc. We guarantee that the work will be done both as cheaply and neatly as anywhere in the city. We should be glad to re-ceire your orders.

A TALK TO THE UNCON-VERTED.

The editors of religions papers a r e supposed to be concerned mainly with doctrinal and denom-inational affairs. Consequently nearly all their writing is along these lines. It is seldom, if ever, that they say anything directly to the unconverted or especially for their benefit In fact, we do not remember now ever having seen an editorial of that kind in any of our religious papers. This may seem strange. It does not argue, however, (hat editors are simply a dry, doctrinal, dogmatic set^with-out any sympathy for the uncon-verted. I t comes simply from the reason that in the nature of thiofi s their subscribers are supposed to be Christians, or else they would not care to be subtoribers to the paper. Aa a matter of fact, also, all of their writings and all of their work do have the unconvert-ed in contemplation—not directly, true, but indireotly. They simply work through others, trying to teach the world the truths of Christianity as held by the de-nomination which they represent, and to stimulate and arouse oth-e n to give of their means for the spread of the goqMl, with the nlti. mate object rf the salvation of souls. The position of editors in this regard is similar to that of the Mcretariat of our miwon boards or the profeuors in ' our theological seminariei. Thiqr u e all working for aonlsibnt indirect.

ly through others, rather than by their own individual efforts. And multiplying themselves in t h i s way, they are enabled to have even greater influence, perhaps, upon the evangeliisatiou of the world than if they were confined simply to their own personal worL For our part, however, we confess that we are not satisfied to reach them entirely in this indirect way. It is one of the greatest depriva-tions which we feel in being out of the pastorate. We have been very much gratified, though, more than once since we became an ed-itor, at being told that some one had been led to Christ by some-thing which we bad w r i t t e n though it was not intended, per-haps, especially to have that effect We said to a f ood brother the other day, who had told us that his oldest son had been led to become a Christian in this way, that that was the highest compliment which we had ever had paid to us as ed-itor.

While, as we said, all of the sub-scribers of a religions paper are supposed to be Christians, still may it not be presumed that there are among ita readers, particularly in the families of some of ita sub-scribers, a number of persons idio have never known the love of God in Christ Jesus? Sincerely beg-ging their |)ardon that we have al-lowed ourself to be 80 engrossed in other matters as not to have done so before, we want now to address a few words particularly to them, and we shall try to do so again at other times when we have opportunity.

Let us say in the beginning that we do not propose to preach a sermon to them. It is more of a familiar talk we want to make. We want each one to feel that we are his friend, that we love him, and that we desire only his best interests.

Dear friend, you are a sinner. You have violate Ood's laws over and over again—openly sometimes, perhaps; in your hei^, at least, oftentimes. But remember," The soul that sinneth it shall die." How shall you escape that con-demnation? Listen: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save Bin< ners." "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only be-gotten Son, that whosoever believ-eth in him should not perish, but have everiasting lif&" "He that believeth on the Son hath ever> lasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." "What shall I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Do yon not fiael a sorrow for your sins •gâinst a loving God? Do you not want to turn away from them, to be laved from them? Are yon not willing to aooqpt Jeraa Christ aa yonr Savior, as your Savior, your personal Savior? f Will you not tnut your salvation to hia hands?

And then, are yon satisfied with the kind of life you are living? Are yon content to have it cast upon so low and narrow a plane as that upon which yon are now liv-ing? Don't you want to be lifted \ip from this sordid, selfish life.to a grander, nobler, truer, happier life? Such a life only Jesus Christ supplies. I t is only through a blessed contact with him by faith that yon receive i t "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of Qod hath not life." Whatever else you have, you haven't life, real, true, spirit-ual, eternal life, life in all its broad meaning, until you have Christ in your heart Won't Von take him then? Oh! accept him, a c c e p t him now. He is standing at the door of your heart knocking for admission. Won't you open it to him?

Think over these word& You do not see the face of the one who writes them. Probably you have never seen his face, and perhaps never will. But they are written out of an earnest, loving heart, a heart which anxiously desires yonr salvation. Think over them and pray over them. And may God blees you and help you to give your heart to Jesus note. Amen.

THE STRIKE AGAIN. The great strike, which we dis-

cussed somewhat at length last week, seems to be about over, de. spite the desperate efforts of Debs to continue i t Order has been restored, through the intervention of the militia, all over the coun-try; the rioting has ceased; the strikers have returned to work wherever they could get back their old positions; trains are running as usual; the current of business has resumed its accustomed chan-nel, and cosmos has again been brought out of chaos. The mem-bers of the other labor organiza-tions, except the American Bail-way Union and the Knights of Labor, have, as a rule, declined to strike. In response to the request of a committee of labor leaders, President Cleveland very wisely i^reed to appoint a

COMMITTEE OF AKIilTItATION, which he had the authority to do under an old law, to try to settle the questions in dispute between Mr. Pullman and his employees, and other employers and employ-ees who had become involved in the trouble. This he did, how-ever, upon the express condi-tion that the labor leaders would first see to it that the strikers re-turned to work and the laws of the government were respected.

We are not surprised that tlê strike was a ftdlure. We antici-pated aa mnoh last week, and pre-dicted it. The fMt was, it was

TOODia. I t waa too general and affected too many intereata. ItwasimpoMnble for it to continue long with flie whole business of the ooontry par-alysed. Then, too, ihere were two

other things which played a very conspicuous part in bringing the strike to a close, as we mentioned last week. The first waa the prin-oiple, which was asserted and em-phasized to a greater extent this time than it has ever been before in this country, and waa acknowl-edged even by Mr. Debs himself, that, while a man has the right to quit work if he wanta to, provided he violates no contract in doing so, he has not the

lUQUT TO KEEP 0THBU8 from work. When the strikers at-tempted to do this, then it was that they became lawless and the gov-ernment of the United S t a t e s stepped in and said: "Yon may stop work yourselves, if you want to, but yon haven't the right to prevent others from working. We propose to see to it that if these railroads can get any other men to take your places, and other men are willing to do so, they shall be protected and the majesty of the law upheld, even if it costs the shedding of blood." That princi-ple, then, thoroughly established and backed up by the whole power and army of the United S t a t ^ an-other fact, of which we spoke last week, came conspicuously i n to play in settling matters. And that was that there were so many

MEN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT who were ready and willing and anxious to take the places of these strikers, if they could only be as-sured of protection in doing aa Given these two facts, and the strike necessarily had to come to an end in a short while. If the railroads had the right to employ other men, a right which would be upheld by the whole power of the United Statea Government, and if there were plenty of other men who wore anxious to be em-ployed, it could be only a question of a short time before the strike would be rendered completely in-effective, and before every man who dMired work to enable him to support hia family would be trying to get back to his old posi-tion. That was exactly what hap-pened, and the return of the strik-ers to work waa, if anything, faater than their going out I t b e ^ e a

BEQULAn 8TAMPEDE, a rout, in which organisation seems to have been lost sight of, largely, and the cry of Napoleon on the battle field of Waterloo, when he saw that all waa lost, beMme their motto—"iSauvo qui peutt" let ev-ery man save himself that can.

We are afraid that the efftet of it will be to demoralise labor or-ganizations so thorooghly that it will be difficult for them to exert way influence for some .time to oome. We believe in snoh organ-izations for self protection, though there is the danger, if th^y acquire too much power, t ^ t the working men themselves will become tyran-nical and diotatoiial to iheir em-plt^yera. Howeivw, the danger is greater on the o^sr-ildB, ^ ^ ' ^

BAPTIST AND REPliKOTOB, JUIIY 19 ,1894 .

IJTERATURE OR REVELA-TION t

We were sorry to read the fol-lowing expression from our friend, Kev. E. M. Poteat, of New Haven, Oonn.:

•• Inductive atody begins by rogardlug tho Bible as a Ittorature, and leads on tu the heartiest, moat intelligent, and most (ruitful reoognitloD of it aa revelation. There is no vTrtne in calling an unknown booic divine: aUil ie«i in applying that deslgDation to a book the oharacter of which is fatally nJaconceived."

Bat the study which "begins by regarding .the Bible as a litera-ture" does not, we are sorry to say, always "lead on to the heart-iest, most intelligent, and moat fruitful recognition of it as a rev-elation." I t is all right to reganl the Bible as a literature, and we are glad that people are coming to study it from that standpoint But it is divine literature, and any proper study of it should be-gb at that point Let us start by recognising it as a revelation and then we will be better prepared to appreciate it as a literature. We do not understand just what Bro. Poteat meant when he spoke of the character of the Bible as being " f a t a l l y misconceived. Those are strong words. We do not believe that the person who starts out by regarding the Bible as a revelation instead of a litera-ture "fatally misconceives" its character. On the (X)ntrary, we greatly fear that this may be true of some who start out by regard ing it as a literature and not as a revelation.

PERSOMIL AND PKACTICAL.

—Do not forget the BAPTIST AMO ItEFLBOTOB at your fifth Sunday meet-ing nsxt week.

—Judge J. S. Oribble,of Lebation, brightened our sanctum with a brisf visit the other day. He seems quite sanguine of his election as chancellor. We hope that hu expectations may be realized. He will, we think, make a very fine judje, and none the worse for being a strong Baptist

—Archbishop Feehan, a Catholic Prelate, issued a proclamation to the pastors of the different Catholic churches in Chicago, rtquesting them to warn their members sgainst engag-ing in any violence during the strike. The slgnificanoeoflthe proclamation is seen in the fact that a laige part of the rioters were members of the Cath-olio Church.

—We ate sure that many of our readers have read the story which has been running on our tenth page for several weeks, called "The Story of a Pictuie," with a good deal of in-teiersst. l U s was the author's first attempt at anything of the kind, but the story shows avidence of literary ability, whiok we hotM she wiU oulU-vate mora iik the future. • 1 iS •

—Dr. B. H. Mahon has been elect-ed as editor of the Mm^hU Chris-tian Advoeate. Ihr. Uahoa is an elo-quent prsadier and a fordbla writer, when U keq^ oft of snoh qnestions as " baptism" and " fkailng from giaoe " and so on. Wahope, however, that his edltorids wiU not be vary dry, and that ha wiUlia able to retain his positkm on tha tripod without falling, for nuuqryasHk

—The first edition of ear little tract called " Sunday the Chnstlan Sabbath" has been exhausted, and aa orders continue to come in for it, we will be compelled to issue another and larger edition. If you have any trouble on this subject, or you know of anyone else who has, it may be well for you to send for a few copies. The price is only one cent for a single copy, or twelve for ten cents, seventy-five for fifty cente, or two hundred for a dollar.

—On last Wednesday Bev. Joe P. Jacobs was married to Miss MoUie Meadows. Brother Jacobs is the pop-ular pastor of the Centennial Bap-tist Church, of Na8hviU^ where he is doing a most excellent work. Mrs. Jacobs has for several years been a teacher in the public schools of this city, and is said to be well fitted by nature and.grace for a pastor's wife. We trust that in entering the marital state Brother Jacobs will not only double his joys, but also his useful-ness.

—Said Dr. A. H. Strong in the Ex-aminer recently: "During the last quarter of a century American Bap-tists have been passings through a great educational revival. From hold-ing a place far behind other denomi-nations, as respects the amount of our University and Seminary endowments, we have oome to hold the first place instead." This is a remarkable fact, and places great responsibility upon Baptists. Let us now be sure that we rise to the measure of our oppor-tunities and obligations.

—We extend our congratulations to our friend, Dr. John R. Dickey, of Bristol, Tenn., upon his recent mar-riage, which we believe we have failed to notice. His wife is said to be a most interesting and accom-plished woman. May long life and much happiness attend them. By the way, the BapUat of Baltimore speaks of Dr. Dickey as " Rev." John R. Dickey. When did he become a preaoherT The fact had escaped our attention. We are glad, however, to welcome him in the ministerial ranks.

It is announced that Dr. C. E. W. Dobbs has purchased an interest in the Indiana Baptiat, and will remove August the 1st from Outhrie, Okla-homa, to Indianapolis, and devote himself to the editorship of the paper. Dr. Dobbs is one of the most inter-esting and vigorous writers we have in our denomination, fie has had considerable experience u a corres-pondent for other psper^ and we shall expect him to make an editor of much ability. Put the BAPTIST AND RBrLXCToa down on your exchange list, please, Dr.

—The'bill admitting Utah to sUta-hood has passed both'the House and the Senato, and was signed by the President upon last Monday. We do not know whether there is suffi' dent provision in ths bill sgainst polygamy or not We prssume, how-evar, that there is. Osrtahily that q u s ^ n should not be left open, so as to Isave the Mormons any loop-hole for introdochig that praotioe in their new State, and throwing them-selves back upon their Statea rights, claiming that the government of the United States has no authority over them. Widle Utah is stiU atanritoiy, that authority is unqosstimied, and it should ba sisraissd,attdrsquta«dastt

condition of statehood that polygamy be forever abolished.

—Bev. Nathan Maynard, pastor of the Baptist Qiuieh at Covingtra, Tenn., was manied a few weeks ago to Miss Bessie M. Marlowe, of Salsm, Va. Brother Maynard came to Cov-ington from the Seminary at Louis-vills about a year ago, and has bera doing good work there. He Is un-der appointment by the Ftneign Mis-sion Board of .the Southern Baptist Convention as a missionaiy to Japan. His wife, who has also been accepted by the Board, is said to bealadyof marked force of character. We wish them, not only much happiness, but the most abundant ussfulnsss in their lives.

—We were very greatly saddened at learning of the death on July 3id, of Rev. C. G. Menyman, pastor of the Riverside Baptist Church, of Bal-timore. We had the pleasure of be-ing a fellow-student with him tot a short while at the Seminary, and we learned to appreciate him very high-ly aa one of the purest and truest men with whom we had ever come in contact After leaving the Seminary he was pastor for six y«us at Qreeo-ville, Va., where he did a fine work. He had just entered upon his pastor-ate in Baltimore when the Lord call-ed him home. He leaves a wife and one child. Our sympathy goes out to them, and also to our brethren in Baltimore in their great Ices.

—The Edgefield Baptist Churdi of this city has invited Rev. E. L. Orsce to supply ite pulpit until the first of October. Brother Grace is a son of Rev. W.C. Grace, of Harriman, and a nephew of Rev. O. S. Oardaer, recent pastor of the Edgefield Church. For the past year he has been a stu-dent of the Seminary at Louisville, and expects to return êre next Oc-tober. He is an excellent young minister. He has a plsasing addrese both in private and public, and is es-pecially popular with the poung peo-ple. We hope that he may have a pleasant and profiUble stey among us during his temporary psstoiate of the Edgefield Church. It is not known yet who will be the psnna-nent pastor. A pulpit committee iiaa been appointed by the church to take the matter under consideration, but nothing definite has yet been done, we believe.

—And now the stray is told on good authority that Mr. Debs, Prss-idsnt of the American Railway Un-ion, has been suflbring from too much indulgence In alcoholic stimu-lante, and is a rsoent graduate of the Keely Institute for the cure of the whisky habit It Is said, also, that his physician in New York telegraphed him, while he was in the midst of his excitement, to stop when he wss, that the condition of hlsnenr-ous system and the great strain upon it made him irresponsible for his own orders. We said last wsek that wa did notbeUevethat "bad Iiqnoi"Waa at the bottom of the gitat strike, bat that we'were hiolined to believe that it was at the bottom of mwdi of the rioting . ao consi ottonBly connected wiUi the strika.

The Story ol a Picture.

BT ANNIE LACBIC. iOOK»n.rDKD )

"After some further explanation I told him the story of the scene. His face grew white and his eyes filled vith tears as he said:

"'Once, long years ago,before my mother died, having learned to her great sorrow that I was be-ginning to use strong drink, she plead with me to abandon it for-ever; and not until she fell upon her knees before me in just that attitude did I give her my prom-

"'Becently, through the influ-ence of others, though not with-out some reproof of conscience, I have been weak enough to tiy to persuade myself that wines and such other delicate drinks as have used were not strong drinks. I am ashamed of my weakness.* And taking my hand he contin-ued: 'Forgive me for having tempted yon so sorely.' Then raising his eyes toward heaven he said inlow,remoiseful tones: 'OhI my dear, good, aogel mother, for-give your wayward boy this onet time more; and before this bean-tiful painting, whose memory will ever be sacred upon his heart, will he promise, Qod helping him, nev-er to drink any kind of an intoxi-cating beverage again.'

"We did not go out that even-ing, bat summoned father, mother and Alice to the room and I told the whole story.

•'Th«n, and not 'tUl then, did t h ^ learn the secret of that mys-terious painting. For a time all was Silent, then in a trembling voice father said:

'"We can but offer our heart-felt thanks to God for snch a blessing.*

aU knelt; and as father prayed I too sent up a feeble peti-tion, which, being continued, was ere many days answered. ^

**Baudolph is now my broiher-in-IskW, and has been true to his promise^ giving us grmter reason for thaddfulness.

•'But that ia not alL My life woi^ is, and a ^ be as long as it is God's will for m« to lalwr on

earth, in the temperance cause. Sometimes when all my pleadings and entrpaties have failed to meet with response, I have told the sto-ry of that blMsed picture, and thus induced many to sign the pledge. I have had gray headed fathers, fond mothers, loving wives and sisters grasp my hand in thank-fulness, and have heard number-less blessings called down upon yonr head as well as mine."

We deem it not a weakneM that several times during this narra-tive Julia's eyee have overflowed with tears, and now her lovely face seems to have caught a smile dropped from an angel's lips as she says:

"Oh! Phil, I can ask no greater happiness on earth than I enjoy to-night Sometimes I have won-dered if my life were worth its liv-ing, but never again will I ques-tion the wisdom of Providence. My prayer has been answered. My visit to America was not in vain. I have found the mis-sion for which I believed God in-tended you—one than which I think there is no greater, and I, poor, weak, feeble, sinful woman, was the instrument in leading you to that great work. But this is not the only thing for which I have great canse to be thankful, and to no one do I deem it more appropriate to tell of my joy than you. To-day-I receiv^ from friend an old diary which had been recently found, and which was a faithful record, in his own hand-writing, of the daily life of my noble lover, whose sad story I once related to you."

Taking from the table the book and opening upon a certain page, she hands it to him and continues: " I can explain my meaning in no better way than by referring yon to these words."

He takes the book, and to his surprise finds it written in En-glish. He makes no comment, but be^nning with the passage she refers him to he reads:

DRCKMBER 26, 18-t. Attended services with my mother at

the church. Something In the earnest face of the new minister at-tracted me, and I found myself unable to listen merely for the sake of his elo-quence. My heart was stirred. I was awakened to a sense of my own wick-edness as I bad never been before; and, more than all, 1 realized as I had never done before God's goodness and mercy to me. I felt, oh I how deeply, my own condemnation, and from this there grew a wild desire to be tree. " Whosoever will," the minister had said, and seek-ing the solitude of my own room I prayed as I had never prayed before. But my burden only grew hravler and I realized that I was powerless to do aught In this condition 1 remained some time; then suddenly it dawned upon me that I was in God's hands and he could and would do aS he ohose with me, and I said, "Her^ Lord, I leave It all with'thee: If thou wilt save melt Is by tlqr grace alone; if not tis Just." My burden had flown, when I knew

and a great cahn came over me—a swset peaeefui calm which I can neither define noi understand. Is this religion, I wonder?

Several pages had here bsen

torn out, whether by his own hand intentionally or by accident no one knew; but on another page was found these words:

"To my mother on her death bod 1 disclosed ray secret, and she was sure the change 1 experlenceil on that Christ-mas day wa.s a shango from 'death un-to life.' Sometimes I feci quite sure of it myself, but am afraid to make it known to the world. Not oven to her 1 love boston earth can 111 ud courage to toll it vet."

Here the pages were again mias-ing and no other reconl of his doubts and fears was fonud. But to Julia this is enough, and as Phil turns his eyes toward her she knows he shares her belief and her joy.

" What more can I ask?" she ex-claims. "Ah! what more? Sure-ly this is enough to compensate for all the pain and agony I have endured in the past. Once more I am happy—happy in the thought that I have not Uve<l in vain, and that he has gone before and is waiting up there my coming, where we shall be. united in a grand and glorious reunion, never to be sev-ered, around the throne of God."

Here we leave them—Phil a strong and powerful man, doing the work for which he is so nobly fitted, and Julia in her quiet way doing what her hands find to do, patiently waiting until God in his infinite wisdom and mercy shall say, it is enough; come up higher.

How High Was Babel's Tower?

The exact date of the building of "Nimwd's Folly," as the Chal-deans say in alluding to the scrip-tural "tower of Babol" (the Ar-menians speak of it as the " Tower of the Confusion of Tongues" ),or the height to which it penetrated the rarified atmosphere of the Oriental plains will, perhaps, nev or be known. The date of the lay-ing of the foundation of the fa-mous structure is usually set at 2,247 years before Christ, or in the year of the Flood 101.

The expression of the sacred his-torian that its top was to " reach unto th6 heaven" is now generally set down as a strong Hebrew phrasd denoting a very lofty tower, but not necessarily meaning one that wonld reach to the abiding place of the Lord and his hosts. Proof that this is probable may be fonnd in several places of holy writ; The walls of the cities of Canaan ar« de-scribed by Moses in similar phrase-ology. The spies sent out by him returned and reported that thecit> ies of that country were great and were " walled up to heaven." See Deuteronomy i. 28 and IX. 1. There is a Jewish legend recorded in the Talmud which tells ns th^ Ood did not put a stop to the bnilding of the tower until after it had reached a height of10,000 fathoms, which isequaltonearly twelve Eng-lish mUea., ! The sacred historians have not in • nngle instance left data upon which we oin bate a oaloolationof it» exaotheig^t andganenddimen-

sions and it is because of ihis omission, no doubt, that the imagi-native Orientals and other ancient writers have given snch fabulous and extravagant traditions con-cerning i t Even S t Jerome al-leges, from the testimony of eye witnesses, who claimed to have seen and examined the ruins of the sky-scraping shaft, that in his day (bom 845 A. D . ) it was over four miles high. While consideriuK those untenable notions it may not be out of place to mention that other fanciful writers make its height range all the way from a single furlong to 5,000 miles in h e i g h t - L o u i s liepuhlic.

Clitldrcii, A Spur.

Thomas Erskine was a poor boy from Edinburg. His father had been an earl, but was unfortunate. Thomas went to sea, and tried the army. Then he studied law. A sprained ankle threw him into the company of an old salt who had an important case coming on. Finding that Erskine had been a sailor, ho took to him. Erskine in a very de-spondent mood, the next day, for quite a little family, and no means of .'support A clerk brought a gui-nea as a retaining fee. Bnt there were four lawyers ahead of him as counsel. He mastered the case, how-ever, resiste<l the attempt of his seniors to compromise, made an impassioned and convincing plea, and won his case Nov. 24, 1778. His fortune was made. As he went out of Westminster Ilall, many cases were offeied to him. He re-ceived a thousand pounds for de-fending Admiral Lord Keppel. He broame Baron Erskine and Lonl Chancellor of Great Britain. When a friend asked how he, an unknown barrister, had the cour-age to speak so boldly in his first case before Lord Mansfield, he re-plied: "Because I thought my lit-tle children were plucking at my gown, and that I heard them say-ing: 'Now, father, is the time to give us bread.'"—Jffa;.

Young South Correoiiondonce.

I must have written a very bad hand last week. As a general thing I have not the slightest complaint to make of the t jpe work in our depart-ment, but I want to correct a little error or two that crept into our page some way. First, tbo name of the lady who wrote the interesting lettsr from Oljmpia, Washington, is &frs. Addle CoTsrt. I am so hopeful that her earuMt words will touch the heart of some one who is wsiting to be sent with the gospel message, and I do not wish such a one hindered by a name misspelled.

I find that I failed to include what the Toung South contributed to the Orphanage at Nashville in my re|k)rt of last year's work. You gave to that most dsssrving charity $37.20, mak-ing your total $357.65. Now, you must be up and at it, if you go ahead of that. And that makes ms think that I wanted to ask if we couldn't rush things a litUe. I do long so to send Dr. WilUngbam $5000 by August 1st. Can't ws do itT Let us unload all the banks and bar-rels and pyramids and turn over the contents immsdiately, and then— start all over againi Bring out all the nidtels, the dimss, and the quar-ters, and sand thsm right off to Mrs. L. D. Bakin, 80i East Second St, Ohattanooga, Tsnn. No matter if it doss seem small, scarcely worth the postsge. All ths small amounts, mn together, will soon count up the dol-Uis. Ths Board nssds all it can get on ths flist of next mmth, and ths» will only be • vtiy fsw daya left whsn yon read this. Haste is always undig^&di I know, but 1st ^gnity go this t i i ^ and hnrty off your con-tilbptlpns'. T ' 3

Ths brought ms thrss loydy this Ton shi^iiad t h m slL The flnt says:

"Find enclosed thirty cenU in slnmps which my •liter and I send you, hoping our little mites will aid you in your work for Japan. I hope we may soon be able to send more. Very respecfully,

IDA BATtESS." Limestone, Tenn. Would this young friend like a pyr-

" En(«lo8ed please find a contrlbu-tion for Japan, collected on a bell I got from Aunt Nora. I wanted to get more before sending it, but I noticed in the Bafthit and Befleo-TOR that you wished the money on hand forwarded at once. So I comply with your request.

Elliott Wbioht." Thuls, Tenn. This boy reads to some profit. He

acts promptly. Let me hear from a dozen or so more of Aunt Nora's girls and boys. The last reads:

" I have a little mlseion money which must not be idle. I send dollar to you to help our noble Toung South pay that debt. I am so glad to see them taking hold so earnestly of this work, I hope we will noon have that letter promised by our young missionary. AU success to you and the Young South! Yours in the work,

(Mrs.) Jdlia T. Johns." Ah! I wonder how much more of

God's money is " idle." Stir it up in all directions, and send it! out to do God's work, as Mrs, Johns has done. The Board was obliged to make'this debt to keep the missionaries in the field. There are so few of them they could not let one give up his work. This Board coosists of the best and wisest men, chosen by the Southern Baptist Convention. They know the needs far better than any of us, and ws must hold up their hsuds. So beg you o g a i n i ^ your utmost to swell the Young South fund for the next few days. Work as you have never worked before. Deny yourself if need be. God will bless vou in it. I hope to be fairly over-run with earn-est willing responses. Yours in love,

Lacra Dayton Eakin.

I tak* g m t plapiun in adding my tMtimony to the many hundredaof othenwiio'^lifiYe jUstod tlfo virtuea of the £lepl^|»iae, I pvloh aewl an inatnimwt a f j M i l ^ ^ February 11, 1892, and b i ^ its naa. I had been in b ^ for 4wo yeara and waaredacod to a Bhadow of my former self; my trouble was nervous prostration and I was kept »Ura only by the use of tonics and careful nuraiog. I had no appetite, could not sleep and what litttle strength 1 had was being rap idly exhausted by terrible nervous perspirations.

When I firat began to use the Elect-ropoise I hiid to use very low power. I left off my tonics and stimulants at once and depended entirely on the Eleotropc^. My recovery was neo easarily alow. At the end of three months I oouldseebut little improv-ment, except that my appetite and awMt sleep had n tamned and the nerroua penpirations had ceased. I then to gain mote rapidly, be-ing so much improved in a few months that I was able to resume my honaahold dutiea. I am not as stroag now as in my younger days, but I am enjoying better' health than I have for a long time. I give the Electro-poise credit for my recovery.

Jones.-Facts, not legends, make history; deeds, not monumental in scriptions, make biography. The memory and influence of a noble Christian man or woman lives long after the body has been consigned to the tomb—lives and animates the breasts of those behind, like the un forgotten strains of some magic harp that once breathed out the soul of music, while the hand that swept it's chords has long ainoe perished. So it is, while we chronicle with sorrow, the death of our brother, Robert W. Jones, we can gUdly oommend his example of aChristian life. Bom May 28, 1862, he early aought and found his Redeetner, in whose willing servioe he oonsistently Uv^, unti Nov. 26,1893, when the cruel hand of death remov^ him from the walks of men. Cruel, did we aayt Ah let us not impeaoh the wiôm o God, whose hand moves mysteriously to ua. He had need of himbiUie upper courts. We can only say: "He walked with God, and wa> not^ for (}od took him." To the bereavec family, we extend our sympathiss. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be oomforted."

CUKKENT Tories. —We stated last week that the only

parallel to the caieer of Debs which we could think of in history waa that of Bobespierrs in the French revolu* tion, but that Bobespierre'e reign was a little longer and much bloodier. We wrote at the time from memory. Since then we have consulted our history, and find that the parallel is even more etrongly marked, especial-ly as regards dates. Robespierre's i«ign lasted from Juno 10th to July 28th, 1794, when he was beheaded; while Debs' was from July 1st to July 17th, 189i. when he was imprisoDod. Thus Debs' came exactly one hun-dred years after Bobespierre'n and bis career was embraced within the same period as Bobespierre's, though it be-gan a little later and ended a little sooner. During this period Robe-spierre had 1,285 people guillotined. There were not so many who lost their livee under Debs' rsign, but it does not seem to have been his fault that there were not.

— The complication between China and Japan over the right to domin-ate in Corean affairs is still quite crit-ical. Hostilities have not been actu-ally declared, but every indication points in that direction, at an early date. The situation becomes grave from the fact, as we mentioned last week, that Russia, which has posses-sions lying a short distance alongside of Gk)rea, may decide to take a hand in the fight, and possibly gobble up the prey herself. But if Russia takes a hand in the conteet, EnglantI will be likely to do so. In that case,France will probably help Bussia. Germany, of course, will go against France, and Austria and Italy, as parts of the Dreibund or Tripple Alliance, will have to go with Oemany. And so it is not impossible that the whole of Europe may become involved, and that we may in this way have the long expected European war. We hardly regard this result, however, as proba-ble, for while all of theee nations have laige armies equipped and drilled for war, there are none of them, perhaps, that feel just ready for it yet. Each is afraid that its enemy may have some advantage in number of soldiers or ship* or projectiles or something of the kind.

—Two weeks ago we published the following paragraph:

"Bbhop John Watterson, of Colum-bus, Ohio who is said to be an ardent Prohlfaltiottiat (rather a stnuige thing for a Catholic), iBsned a circular last RpriBg prohibiting admission to the membership In Catholic societies, aux-iliary to the church, of any saloon-keep-er, brewer or dlttUler. Hie rlrsulwr created sometiilng of a sensation in Catholic circles and aroused considers-

bio opposition, especially among the (ioriuanH. Satolli was called upon to dccido the matter, but lias not yet an-nounced biti decision. It is stated that sbuuld be favor tbo bishop dlsscution is iilioiy to result aiuoug tbo tieruian Catbulics."

Last week Satolli rendered his de-cision condemning the liquor trsliic and approving the ezpulsion of the liquor dealers from Catholic societies. In his decision, he says: ,

"Tbo licjuor traflic, and especially as conducted here in the United States, is tbo source of much evil, hence the Bish-op was acting within bis rights in seeking to restrict It. Therefore, the delegate apostolic sustains Bishop Watterson's action and approves of his circular and regulation concerning sa-loons and the e.\pulsionof saloon-keep-ers from uiombcrship In Catholic socle-tics."

Rev. Alexander P. Doyle, of the Paulist Fathers,the General Secretary of the Catholic Total Abetinenoe Union of 'America, is quoted as say-ing "that the declaration of the Apos-tolic Delegate is the most important ever pronounced by the Church in this country, and he thoughs its effect would be far-reaching." There are several things to be noticed about this decision: 1. That it comee pretty late. 2. That it created considerable sur-prise. Such a decision from the Bap-tist or Methodist or Presbyterian or any other religious denomination, ex-cept the Catholic, would have been taken as a matter of course, and would have occasioned no surprise. 8. That it causes no small dissatisfac-tion, and may result in dissention and division. This shows what a strong hold the saloons have upon the (^tho-lie Church, i . That the decision of Satolli does not say that saloon keep-ers shall not be members of the Cath-olic Church. As a matter of fact, very many are members, and we suppose will remain so. We are glad that Satolli has given his decision. It is a long step in the right direction for the Catholics, and we hope that it may lead to still further stepe. And then, if the decision should only have some influence upon the wine drinking prieete of the Catholic Church, or if it shaU lead in that direction, it will have had a greater effect that Satolli, perhaps, intended when he an-nounced it. And then, atill more, if it should have the effect of dissociat-ing the Catholics in this oountry from the liquor traffic, and should make them the allies of temperance instead of, as they have been heretofore, the allies of saloons, it would indeed have what Mr. Doyle called a "far-raachlng cffsct" But if that should be the case, the daya of sakwna would be numbeied, for it li behind the Catholics that the aaloou atanda an-trenohed.

EVI0EKCE8 OF CilRlSTUSITY. Tiie lilvidence From Mission His-

tory. BT ARTBUB T. PIEBSON, O.D., Author of •' Tbo CrlslB In MIBHIODII." ctc.

God framed not only the material worlds but the time worlds—the Ages. History is his story. Throughout all its progress his purpose unceasingly runs. Even the mystery of iniquity which is constantly at work is con-trolled, and will be ultimately con-quered by the will of God, after the purpoee of ita permission is fulfilled. This is the consistent and harmonious teaching of the Word of God from first to last.

This being so, there are depart-ments of history in which we may ex-pect to find the divine working pre-eminently conspicuous, as in some parts of a building the architect's skill will be moet prominent. There is more of his unique personality seen in column and capital, arohand dome, than in the rude, square base blocks, though he directs every detail. And so there is one part of God's great historic work which is a special revel-ation of his presence and power, and of which he says particularly, " L i I am with you alway,even unto the end of the Age"; and that is missions.

The history of missions not only furnishes, but constitutes in itself an evidence—nay, a volume of evidence —of supernatural power. It ia itself a miracle, both a demonstration and illustration of the presence and prrai-dence of a divine director and con-troller. Behind the changes of scene and actors in this great drama stands the Invisible One who worketh out His will both in the events and the men. These instances of such super-vision and interpoaition sweep round the whole circle of the continents and the whole t^cle of the ages, includ-ing at least twelve particulars:

1. Bemoval of obataolee, and open-ing doors of access to the nations.

2. Causing sudden subsidence of barriers at critical points and periods.

3. Baisingup'andpladng prepared workmen at strategic centers.

4. Controlling invention and dis-covery, and deôping civilization by a plan.

6. Overruling human mistimes and failure, and hoatile persecutors.

6. Limiting and directing the pur-poees and activities of Individual Uvea.

7. Exhibiting atrategic wisdom in a colossal campaign covering the ages.

8. Tuning oriaee of history inoon-nection with united prayars of saint i.

9. Developing new agents and in-atramanta in a nuuifaat, proTldeBtial order.

l a Modifying eziattog evUa and

elevating the entire social level or plane.

11. Transforming, morally, individ-ual lives and even whole oommuni-tiee.

12. Accomplishing revolutions in ideas and habits far beyond human power.

While any one of these stranda of evidence might not in iteelf and alone be deemed sufficient to support the weight needful for satisfactory proof or witness, when these individual strands are braided into one, their united teetimony cannot be broken ; and in matters requiring not 'mathe-matical but moral evidence this joint testimony is what establishes moiral probability and brings convidion. The strength of an iron chain is measured by that of its weakest link; but the strength of a rope of many atrands is not limited by the holding or carrying power of ita weakeat. thread, but by the combined power of all that compoae it. Henoe, no man can justly eatimata the avidenoe supplied by misston h i s t ^ w h o idni-ply stands apart, and^ taking the atrands one by one judges by the ad-equacy of a single event or class of events; he must take the joint teeti-mony of all witnesses.

From theee modern signs and won-ders we are oompell^ fori lack of epace to aelect a few repreaeotaUve instances. Guir limits of discuadon compel brevity and admit but a few, yet even the few may auffioe; for If theee chosen almoet at random from a wide field do not carry oonviet^, it may be vain to adduce addittmal teetimony. It la of no use to pour more light upon an eye that tneeta more illumination only by mora i n -fraction. N ever yet hava we known a really candid mind which being confronted with thia evidence ramidn-ed u n ^ v i n o ^ ; and it has beoome to the writer^ after atudlaa in mis-aiona oondqoM for mora l|haa a quarter of-'a oentuiy, the stimdlng demonatnUon of aaupMrnatatali^w-er and proridenoe controlling unong men. I t is aafe to say that ao far as thoae ooaditiona of apoatoUo timea haiw been p r e s e n t , ham sorriTed or been revived, namely, apoatolic preaching, apostolic praying, and apostolic living, the wonders rsoordri in the Acta of the Apostles have been aubatantialiy reproduced.
