An evangelical tract society has been found

~HE Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, D. D.,
who is now enjoying a vacation, OF
course intefmits his usual Friday
night talk to his church and congre-
cation. Instead thereof the eloquent
divine sends as a substitute for it the fol-
lowing letter:
There has been an unusual number of
Opponents within few days. Editors,
clergymen, artists, and men and women
of all occupations and social positions have
taken part in the comedy, which is about

romance of marriage. 1t has been cpl
demic in all the cities. Some have cried
and some have laughed, and many have
philosophical. Some say parents are
TO blame for too great rigidity in the
control Of the destiny of their daughters.
No doubt there are such cases
in the attempt to transplant European
espionage to America. Parental despot-
ism, like all other styles of despotism, is
unbearable; but American society is not
much over-burdened with such care. In
most cases the danger is in the opposite
direction and in too little watchfulness on
the part OF parents whom God has APP
pointed to be the guardians of the house

How are we to account for the popular pre-
judice against red haii? Is it connected with
the tradition that Judas Iscariot was red
haired, or is it of earlier origin? So strong
was the sentiment against ii in the middle
ages that one of the chroniclers denounces it
as "a burning brand of infdelity." 1t may
very well be that the hatred with which Will
liam Rufus was regarded owed an extra dash
of intensity to the color of his tawney locks

like to think OF red-haired poets; but the
reader will find that auburn, which has at
least a warm tinge on it, has not been uncom-

Sunday Amusements and Work.
TChristiau Advertisement

In all our large cities much labor, in no
sense necessary, is done on Sunday.
Shops are open, in some cases factories at
work, buildings are being erected, streets
repaired, and mechanics who take work TO
their homes constantly employed. Sum
day amusements are foes to workingmen;
to home-life, which they tend TO break
up; to getting a competence, by the
temptation which they furnish to extrava-
gance; TO the increase OF knowledge, by
breaking up the habit of reading on the
Lords day to temperance, by the oppor-
tunities they create for drinking: to re-
ligion, by using the day which God set
apart for His worship, and to refinement
and social improvement, by Withdrawing
the workman and his family from the
elevating society of Christian congrega-
tons, in which they become acquainted
with and influenced by those more FORUM
ately situated than themselves. Between
the so-called blue laws and the true Chris
tian use OF the Sabbath there is much diff
ference. To advocate the latter it is not
necessary to advocate the former.

PROBLEMS OF WEALTH.
The Relations of Christianity to the I'M
mense Fortunes Accommodating.
Providence Journal

In all the more Christian countries a
more or less rapid increase OF wealth has
been going on during the last hundred
years, and at accelerated rate during the
last generation. Wealth in the United
States increased during twenty years from
1860 from fourteen billions to forty-four
billions. In England something like the
same marvellous increase begun with the
year 1916, and these two countries are
now the wealthiest in the world. II is
probable that their wealth is to increase
atan enormous rate for many years TO come.
Serious social questions are arising out of
the rapid increase of wealth, to which
an answer must sooner or later be found.
IL would be incorrect to say that Chris
tlanlty has a ready-made answer to these
problems; it would be equally inexact to
say that it is silent concerning them.
Christianity does not forbid the use of
wealth. Although its Founder had not
where to lay His head, and some men
must follow Him in this respect in order
10 attain higher ends than personal adj
vancement or increase OF fortune, the
majority OF men are left free to engage in
the struggles for wealth, power and fame
In which other men engage. Christianity
suggests uses of wealth which may con-
tribute immensely to the welfare of man.
kind. 1t has its long list of charities,
philanthropic missionary activities and
educational institutions which are depend
ent for their success upon the financial
property of its adherents. Under its
teachings a conscientious use of money
can be observed to q very hopeful
degree, and these institutions which
are dependent upon wealth are gener-
ously maintained. 1t is now easier to
obtain money to carry on religious work
than to find the men who are fitted to di-
rect it. The distribution of wealth Chris
tianity treats in the same broad way with
which it deals with the struggle for pos
session. 1t sanctions neither communism
nor socialism, directly decides no question
