The Society of Christian Endeavor.
The Society of Christian Endeavor, which
has taken such a wonderful hold upon the
young people of the country that it has grown
in eight years from nothing to half million
members, is very strong in this city. Fifteen
or twenty leading churches have fourishing
societies. The Church of the Covenant has in
vlted them to meet there tomorrow evening to
take steps to form local union. There will be
brief addresses by prominent pastors and a
large attendance is anticipated. There are
few, If any, religious movements of modern
times that have had such remarkable success
and the interest Of all Christian people is
awakened in it. local union for the District
OF Columbia is very desirable.

companying note informed Mr.. Curtis that the
garments were the best products of q
factory which we visited little more than
week ago and they were intended
for distribution among the delegates. Now,
had there been more SHIRTS than there were
delegates the thing could have been arranged,
but as the delegates outnumbered the shirts
very considerably the matter was q good deal
Of puzzle. Finally Mr.. Curtis decided, after
close personal observation and careful inquiry,
a lack of shirts. The secretaries and attaches,
too, seemed to be more than well supplied,
while the newspaper men we're radiant in snow
white linen every day in the week. The primary
idea was to send the shirts back to the gener-
Gus source from whence they sprung, buta few
minutes reflection convinced Mr.. Curtis that
the train hands could appreciate Q souvenir

A. Psalm for the New Year.
0 New Year, teach Us faith
The road of life is hard;
When our feet bleed and scourging winds us
seattle,
Point thou to Him whose vissgs was more
marred
Than any mans who saith,
Make straight paths for your feet" and to the
opprest.
" Come ye to Me- and I will give you rest"
Yet hang some lamp like hope
Above this unknown way,
Kind year, to give our spirits freer scope
And our hands strength to work while it is
day
But if that way must slope
Tombwsrd o bring before our fading eyes
The lamp of life, the hope that never dies.
= Comfort our souls with love
Love of all human kind;
Love special close. in which, like sheltered dove,
Zach weary heart its own safe nest may find;
And love that tnrns above
Adoringly; contented to resign
All loves, if need be- for the love Divine.
Friend, come thou like a friend,
And whether bright thy face
Or dim with clouds we cannot comprehend,
Well hold our patient hands each in his
place,
And trust thee to the end,
Knowing thou leadest onward to those spheres
Where there are neither days, nor months, nor
years.

For the Central Presbyterian,
This is NV Bodv.

The recent article of the writer by
reason OF articles which have since APP
peared from others on the same subject,
probably has need of an additional word.
The bearing of this question upon the
dignity. or Importance, or Specification of
the sacrament OF the Lord Supper, the
writer does not deem at all alarming.
The question, and the only question, at
issue 10, Does the act of breaking the
bread In communion represent, by Christie
institution, the breaking of Christs
body on the cross ?" The answer to this
question turns for yeS or no upon the
Interpretation OF l Cor. XII "a because
this Is the only passage in the Bible
which can possibly be construed into Civ.
ing support to an affirmative answer to
to the question asked The interpreta.
ton OF this particular verse turns on the
presence or absence in the true text of
this verse of the Bible of the word
broken. To determine this, we must
resort to what is called Textual Criticism.
Rev. R. r. Howison, in the Christian
Observer and Central Presbyterian of
January 23d, 1889, takes issue with the
writer as to his view of the broken
bread )" and rejects totally the princiI les
of Textusl Criticism, which call for that
particular reading of l Cor. xi d, and
on which the writer's view of the oues.
ton is based
We're this a matter to be read and
discussed only by those who have made
a study Of Textual Criticism, the writer
would allow the matter to rest for con.
sideration upon the merits of the past
discussion. As it is, however, most of
those who read these articles may not
even so much as know what Textual
Criticism is. For the benefit of these
readers, the writer begs leniency for the
following remarks:
Rev. Mr.. Howison attacks the writer's
principles Of Interpretation as utterly
fallacious and misleading. The writer
based his view on one Get OF manuscripts.
which Mr.. Howison rejected for others
considered by bin as OF superior worth.

Defect In Educational System.

Perhaps the most serious defect of the
system of liberal education now preva-
lent in the United States is its lack of a
truly progressive character. 1t is full of
fits and starts 1t is too disjointed and
fragmentary. This is partly because
there are no settled principles of pro-
cedure, fixing the order and amounts of
the studies; and partly because there is
no power which can secure teachers that
know precisely what they are expected,
fitted and permitted to teach. The con-
sequence is hat the different years of
school life too much resemble the differ
ent successive sessions of our legisla-
lures. Milton somewhere describes the
process of legislation as ''hatching a lie
with the heat of jurisdiction" Forum
ately, the process also consists in killing
the brood of lies already Matched by pre-
vious legislation. Now the process of
education in this country is by no means
SO bad in this regard as the process of
legislation; but in certain respects the
former too much resembles the latter
Professor George Trumbull Laid, of
Yale college, in Scribner.
, 1889-10-05

An old fellow from the country, who
has plenty of money invested, some of it
in an uptown hotel of the family sort,
was approached on the first day of open
ing it by n natty young man with a de-
bonair smile.
Have you any rooms en- suffer- he
asked.
ANY what?" inquired the new land
lord.
Rooms en- suite"
"See here, young man, how many of
them are your asked the granger.
"Just me and Mamie-I mean my
wife. We've haven't been married
long. She sent me around to see if you
had any suites"
swell, you go home and tell her to
come right along. We've got plenty of
rooms, and when you and she are in
them they'll be too sweet for anything.
If we haven't got rooms in sweets We'll
have sweets in rooms. Come again,
