Pungent Paragraphs.

(Pomeroy's Advance Thought
Depend ON yourself awhile and
give your friends rest.
Men are bad because we have not
taught them to be good.
To be alone is a millon.fold better
than to be in bad company.
The chief beauty of woman is
in her spirit, not in her perishable
body.
Mems wants are fewer than they
generally think for, and generally of
a different nature.
Activity in some business pursuit
or in doing good to those in distress
isa sure wa v to lessen grief.
No man loves his wife and chill
dren unless he holds them as of
more Importance than his appente
for drink or qualification of
self.
There is far more honor in educat-
ing persons to keep out Of crime than
to imprison or hang them for being
victims to circumstances left open
for them to enter.

Emperor William has caused an order to

BROAD CHURCHISM.

For over half century the Episcopal
Church Of England has been divided
into three great parties-the high, low
and broad churchmen-the sacramento
rians, the evangelicals and the liberals
or rationalists. But this division of
these churchmen is, after all, on natu-
raj lines and follows the natural law
which makes some men conservatives,
with their heads in the antique past
others Phillistines, with complacent
confidence in the forms, institution and
maXims of the present; and still others,
scientific sceptiCs, whose beliefs have to
stand the test of ascertained truth.
The division which, among English
ecclesiastics, has become so definitely
marked, is beginning to show itself in
this country, and most conspicuously,
in that ecclesiastical body which has
hitherto been most tenacious of its an
cient creeds and symbols. The Pres
bytery of Washington, at its recent
meeting, attempted to wrestle with the
question which is stirring the great
Church of which ii is part from cen
tire TO circumference. The Presbytery
postponed its consideration for month,
partly to assuage and, if possible, pre-
vent the acrimony of debate, but the
agitation of the question goes on and
will continue until liberal and rational
/ conclusion is arrived at
The ministry of the Presbyterian
Church of America has awakened te

members repudiale celtain statements

main standard of that Church. At its
last meeting, the general assembly. it,

to the presbyteries for report; One, dc

and the other, What is the nature Of thu

of the presbyteries at the East, timid
wavering and conservative, decide

MORE Pay FOR TEACHERS.
Senator FauIkner's Amendment to the
District Appropriation BILL

District Appropriation Bill.
The school teachers of the District
will very shortly, it is probable, receive
much deserved increase of salary.
At the request of Senator Faulk-
ner the teachers of the eighth
grade of the fifth division re-
Gently submitted TO the Senate n
document, telling how, during the past
three school years, the District of
Columbia Appropriation bills have re-
strieted the lawful increase of salaries
of teachers of the grade, except in cases
of promotion to fill vacancies.
The prohibition of any increase
in the number Of teachers receiv-
ing $1,000 or more affected the
eighth grade and High School teachers
only, while the school population of the
city has continued toincrease until many
more eighth grade teachers were ap-
pointed at salaries below the grade.
The teachers asked that the appropria.
ton be increased to sum large enough
to enable them TO receive the salaries
that the law directed should be paid to
them.
10 dav Senator Faulkner introduced
an amendment TO the District of Colum-
lia Appropriation bill which has passed
the House, making the average salary
of the 795 teachers of the District
about $685. year. This will make
an average increase of s. year on
each teachers salary and grants the re

are voting for revision aud for the
elimination of unreasonable and illib-
eral dogm0s, The great Prcsbytery of
New York, the largest in the Church
and containing men Of the greatest
learning and fame, has, after long,
heated and exhaustive debate, decided
for revision, and very strong senti-
mcnt was developed and expressed in
that body, to substitute for a revision
of the antiquated, medieval and out.
worn confession, modern, simple and
thoroughly Ineligible statement of the
Church, creed as It now is.
During the debate in the New York
Presbyiery the Rev. DR.. Briggs, pro-
fessor in one of the church's theological
seminarics, said he had been called a
"broad churchman," and that he glo-
lied in the name. Thus, in all the
churches gradually but surely, br al
churchism is beginning TO prevail, aod
it will continue TO prevail till all that is
illiberal and irrational in doctrinal the
ology disappears, and the great virtues
Of the Christian religion-faith, hope
and charity--are allowed to shine out
in undimmcd radiance.
