BY REV. D. d. TApPIS.

II all men loved, rs Jesus taught,
Their feuds would forthwith cease;
For, each would chose.-as each one ought,
"The things that make for peace"
But Christians read the Masters will,
And, his example know,
With stringent motive TO fulfil
All that he bade them do.
And, what more definite than This,
Or urged with higher claim,
That our love should be like his,
Who wear his sacred name?
Whatever men of strife may urge,
What customs once were rife
Should we not haste the church to purge
OF all that mars her life?
The world will never take the lead,
In usherlng in his reign,
Whose peaceful sway,-in very deed,
Shall wrath Of man, n,-res train"
Then, let the church her mission prove,
Put forth her latent power,
To teach the world the law of love;-
And is not this,-her hour?

ers who have sold them, and we speak
from experience, having sold them the
past three years. They are noiseless, light
running, simple in construction, have a
new dumping arrangement, are made
strong and do not easily get out of
order, They are highly recommend
ed by those who have used them
and they would not be without one.
During all the time we have sold them,
we have not had one returned. They
speak for themselves wherever they are

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
A:Revision Promulgated by the Presi-
dent.

utnts
The President has promulgated a re-
vision of the civil service rules which has
been in preparation for several months
and has been submitted to the leading
opponents of civil service reform through
out the country. Nearly every one of the
old rules and regulations has been, sub
iected to some modification. The new
rules are divided into those generally APP
plicable to all parts of the service, those
applicable only to the Departments at
Was hington, those designed for the gov
ernment of the Postal Service and those
for the Customs Service. The general
rules declare that any official will be
subject to dismissal who uses his official
authority or influence for any political
purpose whatever, either in Interfering
with an election, coercing a subordinate,
permitting political assessments or con
tributions or allowing partisan consider
ations to govern in any promotion, de-
gradation, appointment or dismissal,
A complete system of compulsory ex-
aminations for promotions Is provided,
from which however, veterans and
widows and orphans of soldiers are ex-
empted. The preference is to be given to
veterans in all cases, Appointing officer
may reject any or all of the names certl-
fed to them for reasons furnished in
writing to the commission. Independent
bureaus and commissions are brought
under the departmental classilications
The exempted classes TO which appoint
ments may be made without reference to
civil service rules include private secre-
taries and confidential clerks, disbursing
clerks, secret service employees, chiefs of
division and chief clerks.
The limitation of 10 years as the maxi
mum eligible for appointments is abro-
gated, and the minimum raised from Is to
70 years. Veterans passing examinations
with an average of65 per centum will be
eligible for appointment, but for all Others
the percentage is raised TO 20. Three in
stead of four names will hereafter bc GER
| tilted from which to make an appoint
ment. Transfers from the Customs Sery-
ice to the Treasury and from postoflices to
| the Postotfice Department are sanctioned.
| In the Customs and Postal Service the SUI
bordinate grades are brought under the
operation Of the rules, letter-cariers anG
messengers being included The new
rules viii go into effect on March 1.
