PRAYER Book ReyIsIon.

"Prayer Book Revision" was tho TOPIC
Of DR.. G. Fl. Watson's sermon at Trinity
yesterday morning. He characterized the
liturgy Of the church as having the same
influence upon its life as language upon
people. Permanently Of doctrine has also
been largely secured both In the Church
of England and the Episcopal church of
America by 1.-THE form of sound words"
in use for divine worship. Since 1862 in
the mother country the prayer Book Has
remained unchanged, while in this coun-
try O whole century had elapsed before
what may be termed enrichment and
adaptability rather than revision became
a universal movement in the church. This
tendency to liberal conservatism is evil
denced by the fact that in the new prayer
book soon to be issued not q single state
ment of doctrine has been changed, but
only such revision has been made as gives
both greater fiexibility in use and deeper
tone TO divine worship The speaker, in clos.
ing, hoped that it might be more than 8
century before such a work should be en-
tered on again. and thst the Prayer Book,
which is three-fourths Scripture, might
be the great missionary to bring many
souls into obedience to Christ.

The Quarantine Needs Of New York.


Dr. W. T jenkins In North American Review.
The needs of the quarantine Of the port
of New York, in order to meet any future
inroad of disease threatening the whole
country. are not very many. There should
be an island constructed between Hoffman
and Swinburne islands having an area of
ten acres. This would not cost much
beyond the piiing and the rip-rap. The
water IS shoal, and ali ships coming here
in ballast could be required to dump there.

MR.. NETTING ON EQUAL RIGHTS.
ne Argues That . Mans Rights Vary
According to Character.

He Argues That . Mans Rights Vary
According to Character.
Yesterday morning Rev Wallace Nut
ting In Plymouth Congregational church
preached on Equal Rights" The
preacher began his discourse with the
statement that men knew but little on the
subject of rights, and then gave number
OF interesting stories to prove that equal
rights do not exist. He showed that the
conception of rights differed with indi.
vidual character and that they were as far
apart as the lives lived by different men.
To illustrate this point Mr.. Nutting said:
Two hungry young men applied the other day
20 the city authorities for work or food. They
were informed that they could have neither.
They had no right to it But suppose they had
taken their stand on Q big rock in one OF the
city parks and had remained like St Simon 9ty.
lites until they died, the city would have buried
them. and no one would have questioned the
right OF the city do So or the right OF the young
men to receive burial. Or, had those two young
men become mixed in their moral notions and
turned to burglary, then the city would have
had the right to shut them up and board them
several months, though it had no right to give
them meal until thew had committed crime.
The preacher sets up the theory that the
man without q character has no rights,
and no two men have the same rights.
The inequalities begin at birth, and men
are not responsible and, whenever a man
out of his growing life loses any grace. he
at the same time loses something of his
rights. A man must free himself. The
slaves were freed, but even today many of
them were still slaves. The gift which
they received was the right to become
freedmen. but many of them are still
governed by ignorance, poverty and pas
sion.
Mr.. Nutting then spoke of Christ, tho
rights and privileges given Him by tho
Divine Father by reason of the possession
of q supreme character and that men need
not despair. for it was possible that they,
too, might get close to God by getting
their souls freed from evil and filled up
with the grace of God.

Scandlnavisns Desirable as Immigrants.
H. H. Boyeson In North American Review.

H. H. Boyeson in North American Review.
There is no nation in Europe that Is
more adverse to violence, and has less SYM
patty with Utop,an aspirations than the
people of Norway and Sweden. They have
been trained to industry, frugality and
manly self-reliance by the free institutions
and the scant resources of their native
lands: and the moderation and se!f-re-
straint inherent in the cool blood of the
North make them constitutionally inclined
than swift and violent ones. They come
here with no millennial expecta-
tions, doomed to bitter disappoint-
ment; but with the hope OF gain
ing, by hard and unremitting toll.
q modest competency. They demand
less of life than continental immigrants OF
the corresponding class, and they usually,
for this very reason, attain more. The in.
stinct to save is strong in the majority of
them, and save they do. when their neigh
bors, of less frugal habits, are running be-
hind. . 1t is therefore fact which all
students of the social problem arising from
immigration have remarked, that tho
Scandinavians adapt themselves with great
ease to American institutions. There is
no other class of immigrants which il so
readily asslmilated, and assumes 30 ma
turally American customs and modes Of
thought. And this is not because their
own nationality is devoid of strong charac-
teristics, but because. on account of their
ancient kinship and subsequent develop
ment, they have certain fundamental traits
in common with US, and are therefore
less in need of adaptation. The institu-
tions of Norway are the most democratic
in Europe, and those of Sweden, though
less liberal, are developing In the
same direction. Both Norsemen and
swedes are accustomed to .partici-
pate in the management Of their
communal affairs, and to vote for
their representative in the national parlia-
ment; and although the power given
them here is nominally greater than that
they enjoyed at home, it is virtually less.
The sense of public responsibility. the
habit of interest in public affairs. and a
critical attitude towards the acts Of govern
ment are now nowhere so general among
rich and poor alike as in Norway and
Sweden, Notwithstanding the fact that tho
suffrage is not universal.
