In the New Hebrides there is Babel of

Covetousness calls itself Just when it is
simply hard. There is no other sin which
has so many softened aliases. 1t will be
dealt with by its true name at the iudg-
ment. Look at the ugly thing by the light
of the gospel now; it will save you from
trouble then.-Ndshuille Christian Advocate.
Protestants who have regarded the
Roman Catholic church as stereotyped,
fossilized organization, incapable of chang
ing her attitude toward the live questions
of the day, or takino progressive step in
the line Of curro bought and action,
have ample data recent events, for
changing their OPP On. The leading
church authorities America, grasping
the situation and noting the trend of
events, gave direction for the holding of
the first congress of Catholic laymem in
the course of eighteen hundred years.
Cardinal Gibbons, in his address of well
come, frankly conceded that it was full
time such a meeting should be held. He
thought that in some respects the clergy
and laity have been too far and too wide
apart, and that the clergy have very much
to learn of the laity. This last move of the
old church is a significant sign of the times

LIVING JUDAISM.
What are the living principles of Juda-
ism. Those which inspire life, movement.
activity. That is the test, and the only
test. Not age, not sentiment, not associa- |
ton, but utility and potency; in one word, |
fancies are swept away-dreams that have |
had their time and usefulness, but are now
absolutely pernicious, for they are
narcotics that dull and stupefy. BY this
test Judaism is brought into line with an
eXacting age, and assumes an honest and |
positive character. The day will dawn,
and the men and women will spring up
among US who will insist upon a Judaism
by the inspirations of the day,
v
and Asiatic customs She essentials of our
faith are so few and its inherent character
so broad and simple that those who hold
back now rand mistake superstition for
reverence will be astounded at their Gre
dulity. The giants of their present fancy
will turn out to be veritable dwarfs indeed,
and they will be ashamed to confess that
their Judaism was more shadow than sub
Messenger.
THE cHURCH's RESPONSE TO THE CRY OF THE
HEATHEN.
In the whole heather world to-day there
are only about seven or eight thousand
male and female. That is
the church's response to the worlds bitter
cry Is it adequate? Does it express our
love for Christ or meet the need of perish
ing men. Volunteers for missionary work
are comparatively few. Chinas and India's
and Africa's cry for help does not touch
many hearts. There is no great constrain-
ing missionary enthusiasm even among the
young. Our missionary societies are not
overburdened with offers of service. Par
ents send their sons as emigrants, soldiers,
sailors and traders to many lands, but are
slow to send them as missionaries of the
cross. Few men and women of indepen-
dent means consecrate themselves and
their substance to the Lord for work
among the heather. The contributions of
our churches, too, are miserably small. A
few give literally, but the great bulk of
our people give almost nothing. The cry
Of the heather world is unheard or un-
needed, and the help begged is not given
Great Britain and Ireland spend S725, OOO,-
300 annually on alcoholic drinks; London
spends rs. per head every year on its
5heatres; our churches spend only few
pence per member on missions to the
leathen.-The Church of To-day.
