Obedience Confirms Vision.

You are troubled in your theology
because you are disobedient in your
heart. If you would only live your
theology, you would put an end to all
controversy. Prove prayer by pray
ing; prove the inspiration Of the
Scriptures by being inspired by their
speech. Obedience is the true con-
firmation of vision and OF knowledge
and where the obedience brings joy,
rest, hope, strength; where it lifts us
up to new stature, broadens us with
a nobler expansion, attunes us to a
diviner music, we may be sure that
the vision which originated it was a
vision that shone from heaven.

THE AMERICAN NAVY.

First-Class Navy, May Become II For
I:lidable Rival.
LONDON, April 5.-There have been re-
Gently many indications of British inter-
est in the growing strength and imports
ance of the United States navy. Articles
published in American papers regarding
the navy have been reprinted in English
journals, and in various ways it is evident
that the English experts are keeping
themselves posted in a very accurate
manner as to the new vessels and i'm
proved methods of the American navy.
The st. James Gazette of yesterday has
long and exhaustive editorial on the sub
iect. Among other things the Gazette
says: "The American naval activity
looks extremely like business; what sort
of business, it must be the duty primarily
of the diplomatists to consider, but it be-
hooves us to watch carefully the growth
of this new naval power"
The Gazette reminds the Government
of the English opinion that the British
navy should be equa. to the combined
navies of any two powers, and suggests
possible combinations with other naval
fleets for the American navy.

THE NEW SOUTH.

Mr. Frederick Taylor's Impressions, Re
ceived During . Recent Tour Of Inv estt-
cation, with business Eye. Through
the south-The Race Problem the Only
Serious Obstacle to Perfect Progress
and Prosperity - Pennsylvania Most
Formidable Industrial Rival.
BALTIMORE, Nd, April 5.-Frederick
Taylor, the New York banker, who re-
Gently made a tour of investigation in the
South with Hon. Abram s. Hewitt, Hon.
Edward Cooper and others, has, in re-
Spouse to q request, reduc ed to writing.
for the Manufacturers Record, the inn
pressions made upon him with regard to
the industrial condition and development
of that section. Mr.. Taylor says the trip
was to him revelation, for he had be-
ieyed that the 'New South" was fall
lacy. ''It seemed to me-" he says, "that
we travelled through continuous and I'M
broken strain of what has been APPLY
termed the music of progress"
Mr.. Taylor is evidently Republican,
for he says that he discovered "the COM
ing disintegration of the Solid South and
the bringing about of a condition of poll
tics that will be healthy" and goes on to
say: "The most serious obstacle to this
contamination is the race problem. This
question is one of which we of the North
have but little understanding. To us il
involves nothing beyond fair play to the
newly race. To the South
err people, however. 1 discovered that ii
means keeping the control of their local
affairs in the hands of those who pay the
taxes. l held conversations with num-
Der of thoughtful, conservative men,
and they discussed it in most
Catholic spirit: but II concluded that, how
ever the people of the South may be di-
vided about other things, they will con-
tinue unit on this. The negroes will
continue, 1 think, to be scattered through
out the Southern States. They can't DO
got rid of, and think it would be a ca
lamity for the South to lose them. They
constitute an element of docile, patient
and hard labor, which is an important
factor in the country's development"
Taylor believes there is no question
that pig iron can be made cheaper in the
South than anywhere else, unless at Corn
wall. Pa, as Mr.. Carnegie says: 'The
South is Pennsylvania's most formidable
industrial enemy" "But," says Taylor,
Gin other industries, rather than in iron,
will be the future grow and wealth of the
South. The cotton factories, the factories
for making wagons, cars, bricks, imple-
ments, ETC.. etc, are what will bring peo-
pie to the South, aud make her independ-
ent."
He believes the South is only now on
the threshold of its boom, and asserts
that while it is true that the people there
have had some help in the way of immi-
grafton and foreign capital yet it pros
porous condition is due to the indomit-
able energy and hard work of the South
ern people themselves.

Fight to Get Clear of Apia- Congratu-

SYDNEY, N. S. w., April 5.-The British
man-of-war CallioSe, which ran out of
the hurricane at Samoa, and for whose
safety fears have since been expressed,
has arrived safely at this port. 1t tram
spired that before the hurricane come on
every precaution had been taken on
board the Calliope. five anchors had been
dropped and everything made ready for
big blow. In the height of the storm the
chains of four anchors snapped and the
vessel commenced to drift. Captain
Kane then determined to leave the har-
Dor, where the danger of being thrown on
the reefs was imminent, and reach, if
possible. the open sea. This he eventual
ly accomplished after a hard fight, during
which the vessel made only a half a knot
an hour. The seas that broke over the
ship were tremendous and did much dam
age. No lives were lost, however.
Thousands of people are focking to the
vessel, and praise the pluck of Captain
Kane in bl inging his ship through in
safety.
