Bureau Of Engraving and Printing.

Acting under the supposition that but few Of
th- >. H"nsress are really aware of the
small compensation allowed to large portion Of
the employees Of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, I therefore submit the following brief
statement, based upon the pay of the watchmen,
viz: s225 per day amounting to $3.50 per month
of thirty days.
From the date of suspension to the end Of the
present month the time lost will number l3s
days, mourning a loss to the unfortunate en-
ployees the sum Of 1912. The Committee on Ap-
Preparations proposes to allow the furloughed
employees one months pay. which, If divided into
this lS9 days lost time, would amount to fraction
under forty mine cents per day.
Many Of the unfortunate furloughed have fami-
lies Of helpless females and little children to care
for. 1t will, therefore, be readily understood
throughout the country as to the hardship-not
to say, injustice-which the suddenly furloughed
employees of the Bureau Of EngraviD~ and ..Iv.
ing have already suffered .uu continue to suffer.

An Eloquent Sermon by the Rev. W. Q.

promise is fulfilled, and Rev. Walter O.
Scott, of Philadelphia, assists Dr. Sunderland.
With inspiration, aided by the solo, Fear
not, thy God is nesr"-as sung by the sweet
voice of Miss Kidwell-the stranger arises. He
is q young man Of rare ability and marked origin
ality. Thoughts clothed in new dress are pre-
sented from the words, He came not to be sd-
ministered unto, but to minister" He opens
with spirited description Of "stag hunt" We
follow his Imagination "to the death, where
1.-THE autumn winds sigh q requiem through the
tall forest trees, mournful dirge over a beauti-
full royal creature of the wood. The dogs are held
at bay by his ferce and glorious struggles, but
thud goes the fatal shot, and man is the great
slayer: Yet the Lord appoints it. In death is
life. The insectiverOus plants absorb their daily
animal food. Death is thus universal. Death is
an organic law, established by natures laws"
He gives a fine connective picture Of animal ab-
sorption by land and sea; the feeding OF the
stronger upon the weaker. Decay is followed by
reproduction. Even in this there is n tinge of
triumph over death. What beautiful thought!
''Iife from death!'
We add a suggestion to those who would like to
follow out this problem in organic law. You will
fnd most interesting work. written by physi-
clan, DIR. Y. K. Chambers Life and Death in
which a scientific man carefully explains why and
how we die daily in the flesh, If not in the spirit.
He says: Let us come from the charnel-house to
the hustle OF joyous, brimmng life and ask how
long it takes-nOt a dead, but living body-to
decay" Following the train Of thoug hit in ana
logy, he presents the death of Christ for the
world on q strictly scientific plan. "Why was he
crucifed? He was the best man Of his time. He
laid down his life; no one took his life from him
unwillingly. As son Of God and son Of man, In
the combination we see the unity of the divine
and the human nature. Christ has established
Immortality, dispelling all DOUBTS. He LETT the
glories Of the Father, humbled himself, emptied
himself unto death-death of the death-lessons.
Christ's history would have been complete alone
in the example Of pure life, without the sacri-
fee"
He followed with dissertation on the personal
virtues Of the man-Christ. He then called our
attention to the many passages of Scripture show
ing that Christ presented himself as bread upon
which We may feed and be satisfed-''I am that
bread of life. This is that bread that came down
from heaven and gave eternal life,' sc. "In
Christ's death we feed upon him by faith" "Age
on age deadly curse has followed man until the
sacrifice of death for life." The living spiritual
food exemplifed in the sacrament he Beautifully
illustrates, "feed upon him with thanksgiving"
In the application, he urges his hearers Instead
Of drawing from the life of others as earthly
kings feed on their subjects to lay selishness
upon the altar OF Christ in remuneration and live
rise to the glory Of the life-eternal."
