Christ knows how much you have
resisted, and how thoroughly we are
disordered OF sin, and he will pick ont
the one earnest petition from the rub
bish and answer it. To the very depths
OF his nature he sympathizes with the
inhrmity of our prayers.

The man who says, God has chosen
me, can afford to let others think and
speak after their own nature. 1t is his
business to take his stand separately.
and deliberately and distinctly to do
what be believes to be right, and let
the many or the few do as they will.

The aeriptures tell us that we must
be born again and called out of our
spiritual graves by miracle; they also
tell us that we are not saved by our
works, and that sit is not Of him that
willeth nor Of him that runneth, but
of God that sheweth mercy"

There is no natural law and need of
rest which does not apply to the spirit
nal world. Our soul does not become
wearied with spiritual exercises and
demand release from them, as the arm
gets tired of welding the axe, or the
brain Of studying the book.

Custom House Without Question.

Foreigners Allowed to Pass the Detroit
Custom House Without Question.
DETROIT, Dec. 24.-M. NJ. Ford, chairman of
the special committee on immigration and
labor arrived in Detroit Yesterday He began
his investigation in the Russell House parior
this forenoon and continued until noon. when
he left for Grand Rapids to stay over Christ
mas at home.
Lyman A. Brant deputy collector of customs,
testified that his duties are exclusively in the
interest Of the customs and he pays no at
tention to the enforcement of the pauper law
of 1882, and makes no examinations
relative to the contract labor law. From his
that very large percentage, at least 40 per
cent OF foreign people from England
and Canada work in our printing
Offices as compositors. Many of these
printers live in Canada In other trades the
same practice prevails, but he did not know
that inducements we're held out to bring such
workmen here.
He knew numbers of lumbermen coming
into Michigan from Canada to work in the pine
woods, who, he presumed, went to Canada in
the spring.
Henry A. Robinson, Justice of the peace.
and prominent member of labor organiza-
tons, testified that he had personal knowledge
OF Canadians coming into the city for employ
ment working daily and returning at night.
Witness had seen advertisements in Cana
dian papers for employees in Detroit,
but no names were signed to them
There were plenty Of American laborers for the
various trades at the time. and the object Of
securing Canadian craftsmen was to break down
the unions and cheaper wages. Witness stated
that 1t was very difficult to convict employers
Of the offense of importing labor.
In the Detroit street-car service there are
about 700 persons employed who are aliens. A
partial canvass of the labor organizations de-
veloped the fact that aliens formed Is per cent

These had been tolerated as long az they did
