The General Board of Missions Of
the M. E. Church, South, at its late
meeting, assessed the "A Conference
$3.50, 1000. Of this sum SIG, 600 is placed
on the South Carolina Conference.
Anent the assessments the Texas
Advocate speaks thus wisely:
The Mission Board did the right thing
when they determined to hereafter
make the absolute appropriation come
within the limits of the last years col
lections. Faith is good thingin bus
mess provided it be a reasonable falth.
We do not think the exercise of faith
bv proxy is reasonable. That is to
saw, it is not the prerogatiye of the
boar dto exercise faith for the whole
church. It is unreasonable for the
board to pledge the credit of the whole
church on its own faith. If the board
make appropriations on faith they
should back it with their own private
funds, and not with the obligation of
the church. The church is now over
SlOO, 900 in debt because the faith Of
the board could not make the collec-
tions equal to the appropriations.

The question Of primary meridian
and universal standard of time has al.
ways been a perplexing one. The
meridian of Greenwich is not accept.
able to all nations, and it has long
been thought desirable to make a
change. The Italian Government has
recently sent to all countries interested
the reported results of the studies OF
the Academy of Sciences in Bologna,
in which it is recommended that the
meridian of Jerusalem be taken as the
primary one, and that the universal
day begin there at noon. This, it is
stated, would effect the desired result
of almost exact coincidence between
the universal and the chronological
days, and would also render possible
an international observatory on the
prime meridian. Should this be
Il significant and striking coincidence
that the scene of the central event of
the ages, from which all other historic
events are dated, should also be the
place which should give to the world
its universal standard of time.

He Kent His Boots on.

The attack upon the Czarowitz o
Russia by q policeman in Japan, and
the slight wound inflicted with his
blunt sword, have elicted world.
wide interest. The facts seem to be
that the Czarowitz and his suite Wis.
tied Buddhist temple and committed
what was to the priests an act of sac
rilege by entering the shrines with
their boots on. When they left, a
complaint was made to the Japanese
guard of this outrage, and it was for
this that the policeman attacked the
heir apparent to the Russian crown.
We can well understand their indigna-
ton, for throughout the East holy
shrines can only be approached with
unshodden feet, and no greater indig-
nifty can be offered than to attempt to
sand in their sacred places without
removing the shoes.
We we'll remember how nearly we
came to getting into trouble once in
the island of Ceylon, when we unwit-
tingly strayed into a Mohammedan
mosque-the first we had ever seen
without taking off our shoes or pulling
slippers over them. These slippers are
provided ut all these sacred places,
and there is no excuse for man to
violate the proprieties and disregard
the religious sensibilities of the people
whose country he is visiting. The
customs Of his own country should
have taught the Czarowitz betterman-
ners, for there is certain gate in Mos
cow through which if = man should
pass without uncovering his head, he
would be instantly killed by tue popu-
lace.-,S. LOuiS IdOocutc.

Foolish Parents.

Of Eli, Frederick Robertson says:
"He was one of the fatal men Of his
tory" The old record says of him !:
"His SONS made themselves vile, and
he restrained them not" Through
them came the ruia of their country.
The old judge was, doubtless, In many
respects lovable man. There is no
intimation even that he himself bad
any vices. He was man of prayer,
and loved the cause of God. The loss
of the ark that dreadful day the Phills-
tines routed the armies of Israel broke
his heart. He was. honest, truthful,
pure-himself keeping all of the com
mandments. That Is, he kept the let
ter of the decalogue but the great
primal law of the family he did not
keep. We cannot call him a good
man !; his life is worth to the world
only the warning his utter and dlsas-
trous failure gives. No doubt the
! wickedness of his sons made him old
before the time they were constant
anxiety and grief to him. He expos.
tulated with them gently. but exercised
neither the authority OF father nor
the power of a magistrate. They. did
not care for his opinions his anxieties
amused or vexed them according 10
their mood. They did not respect
him, nor fear him, nor love him. 1t is
the commonest mistake in the world
to suppose that ungoverned and there
fore rebellious children truly love
their parents. The weak and ever In
dulgent father supposes that he is
kind. but he is cruel. He imagines
that his tenderness will inspire love in
bis children. If tenderness 60 along
with authority, children will love
their parents but if authority be
merged in tenderness, the result will
be otherwise. Spoiled children are
always inconstant in their love fof
their fathers and mothers.
Our times are prolific of Ell's ana OF
mothers as weak and foolish as ne.
Only yesterday we heard mother say
she had "never whipped one: OF hel
children" Only to-day we heard
half-grown daughter reprove that
mother, and in the presence of com
pany. What will that daughter be
when she is a woman in size but still
a spoiled child in character? What
will she be when she becomes wife

and mother? ,

DR.. Holmes was philosophically right

If we had sense and conscience, ant
knew how to do such difficult things
as bringing up children, it would 6t
a very great advantage if we coulo

Extracts from the Christian NeighbOr
Tbe TRUE standard-Try BY 1t.

The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is
now the King of Kings and Lord on
Lords, possessing all power in heaven
and earth and has been such ever
since his coronation, when the Father
said unto him, "Sit thou on my right
hand until make thine enemies thy
footstool.n And he shall remain in
full possession of that power until he
"shall have put down all rule and all
authority and power. till ne
hath put all enemies under his feet"
Hence there can be no appeal from his
authority on what he requires all
who would be his disciples to believe,
to do or to suffer.
The teaching of Jesus on war is the
truth and this teaching is that which
should be delivered from all pulpits
and presses of profesedly Christian
government or nation. AS faith is the
product of teaching and as practice is
the exemplifcation of faith and as
character is the result of practice, II
is manifest that nations will not LEARN
war any more" as long as they are not
taught the truth as found in the
teaching and example of Jesus whose
"steps" his disciples are commanded.

will become "rooted and grounded

faith which was once delivered to the
saints" By little and little this origi-
