Republican Postmasters.
Washingto Special
asked Colonel Morrison o-day what kind of
Democrat Mr. Stevenson, the new First Assistant
Postmaster general was. He replied: 1.-The
very best kind of Democrat, and mighty good
man."
"Weu, do you think he will turn those Repub.
lican postmasters out9"
II am satisfied he will do the best he can in
that direction. But you know Mr.. Stevenson, or
any one else, cannot go contrary to the course Of
Informed of the policy he should have to pursue
before he accepted the office, and, as matter of
course he will have to confne himself to that
policy so long as he holds the Office"
But, Colonel, they say that Mr. Hay was
disposed to put the screws down tighter on Dem
ocrats than the administration desiredl
Il do not believe it. Hay is a clean-cut man.
ard good Democrat l believe he simply tried
TO carry out the policy indicated to him by the
President"
Il suppose, Colonel, you favor change in
these postofices as soon as it can be made?"
Certainly do, and do all Democrats as
far as am able to see."
There is more talk here about the postofices
than anything else. The politicians are all spec
ulatng about what Stevenson will do. The
general opinion is that he will not be so partcu-
lar about charges filed against incumbent Re.
publican postmastcrs as Mr.. Hay was, and that
lie will not require so much heavy swearing to
turn the guilty ones out Mr. Stevenson is also
hale and hearty man, and from appearances is
able to do great deal of hard work. He has
already taken hold of his Office like he intended
to move things and bounce them, and hope he
will He has much to do, and many things to
look after.

invalids among the Christian 4
who don't work than among those
who do. These Christians take in but
they don't give out; they don't work.
They become spiritual dyspeptios.
Some Christians are bigger when they

Double your talents and make them
bring interest. All Of Christ's serv-
ants Will have TO reckon with him at
his coming. Christ Is absent with the
Father, but he is coming again TO
reckon with you.
All OF Christ's faithful servants will
be rewarded for their fidelity. They
are not to be rewarded for having five
talents or two talents, but for their
fidelity. You are not responsible for
having or not having FIVE or two or
one talent but are responsible for the
use you make of them. Don't bother
your head about doing big or little
things. That's not the question for the
child OF God TO settle, but ask yourself
whether you can be faithful TO Christ.
All OF Christ's do-nothing servants
will be cast into outer darkness. The
man who only had one talent and hid
1t, had 1t taken away from him and he
was cast into outer darkness. i am
not here to sit in Judgment on you, but,
according to this parable, the man who
does nothing will be cast into outer
darkness when Christ comes again.

or Princeton. The summer meetings
continued for week, the otn.
err meetings for two DAYS
The members sat around
o common table, and freely and fnlIv
discussed such passages or chapters as
mad ceen previously assigned for the
particular meeting, each member
having already studied and examined
them for himself. In this way the
whole of the New Testament and the
Old was infinitely considered and
discussed. The work was
reviewed in this careful manner twice
from beginning to end. In the first
revision changes in the authorized
version were recorded for further con-
sideration in case they were favored
by majority Of the votes, but in the
second review the rule demanded vote
OF two-thirds in order to adopt
the proposed change. Finally all the
passages were examined q third time,
in which differences still remained be-
tween the views Of the English and
American committees. 1t may be
safely said that no criticism has been
made on the New Testament portion
OF the work already published
which was not anticipated and &C.
corded fair and full discussion by the
revisors In the progress of the work, as
the two committees included scholars
of the principal Protestant denomina-
tions. Anopportunity was given for fair
and able presentations for the views
Of each bearing upon the matters Of
the translation of words and SEN
fences. Controversy, however, never
arose in the meetings on points divid-
ing the religious bodies. The
spirit of scholarship rose far
above the sectarian spirit and the lat
ter was at no time manifest. This fact
may also bear with itself testimony
of the general accuracy of their work.

his enchanted audience to the grand
old city of Milan, when he stopped to
present 10 them that marvel Of splen.
dor-the athedral-wlthit its 300 spires,
its gorgeous decorations and quaint
though elaborate designs. Thence af-
ter short journey we are found in
the beautiful city of Como, viewing
the renowned lake Of the same name.
In the scenes on this lake the professor
fairly excells himself, and the audience
is captivated. We then cross the
border, and after such scenes as the
Matterhorn and Mt. Blanc we are led
through Germany, and In Berlin we
see that renowned statue of Frederick
