of people assembled in front Of the Court
House to witness the planting of a tree
by Chief Justice Comegys The hole was
already prepared and the chief justice
addressed the assembly as follows:

by the pre- sent one, stood. The idea was

THE infatuation which Undue cd the

for the protection" of rich manufactur-
ers over 1000 miles away and then

that they will send senators aud repre-
sentatiyes to Congress who will
vote for higher protection for the
manufacturers and consequently
less incomes for the J farmers

that in any way involved a question o
doctrine, although the general direction
of the revision has shown that the old

probable that only those who know their
prayer book very well win notice the diff
ferences in the new standard book that
is to be issued after the General Conven-

apparently in very healthy and pros
porous condition, and its constitution

RECENT movements in all of the large
church organizations seem TO tend TO a
greater liberality, even If not radical
change, Of belief In the Southern
Presbyterian Church there has been a
heated discussion on the origin Of the
race which was said TO involve the credi-
bility of the Bible account. In the North
ern Presbyterian Church there
was the Andover controversy
which involved the future state
of the heather and the doctrines to be
taught BY the foreign missionaries. Now
there is movement, germane to that
discussion, TO change the Westminster
confession, on which the faculty Of Prince
ton Seminary Is divided. In the Epis-
copal Church there is something of the
same tendency, and even now the
Hymnal is being altered and the
Prayer Book barely escaped revision
There is a movement among the Jews to
change the day of worship from the last
day to the first day of the week. In other
ehurces the spirit of reform or liberality
or revision is at work though the evil
denees are not SO marked and so public as
in the organizations mentioned. This
spirit OF unrest in all branches Of the
Evangelical church Is one of the most
remarkable signs Of the times, and it is
not with regard to non essentials that
the ablest men are taking sides, but
upon some Of the fundamental doctrines
Of the Christian faith. Like all other
movements this must be met and recog-
nized II must not be ignored. It cannot
be suppressed
