THE SHERMAN LAW.

Its Repeal Has Changed the Complex
ion of Our Currency Laws.
The recent repeal of the provision of the
law requiring the purchase of silver bull
lion by the government as feature of our
monetary scheme has made an entire
change in the complexion of our currency
affairs and do not doubt that the ultimate
result of this action will be most salutary
and far-reaching.
In the nature of things, however, it is
impossible to know at this time precisely
what conditions will be brought about by
tho change, or what, if any, supplement
tary egislation may, in the light of such
conditions, appear to be essential or expe-
dent. OF course, after the recent finan-
cial perturbation

dence. When, however, through this re-
stored confidence the money which has
been frightened into boarding places is re-
turned to trade and enterprise, survey of
the situation will probably disclose as safe
path leading to q permanently sound
currency, abundantly sufficient to meet
every requirement of our increasing popu-
lation and its business. In the pursuit

injurious, will increase the probability Of

Authority to Issue Bonds.
desire also to earnestly suggest the
wisdom of amending the existing status in
regard to the issuance of government
bonds. The authority now vested in the
secretary of the treasury to issue bonds is
not as clear as it should be, and the bonds
authorized are disadvantageous to the
government, both as to the time of their
maturity and rate of interest.

which assembled at Brussels upon our in
vitation, was adjourned to the present
year. The considerations just stated and
the fact that definite proposition from us
seemed to be expected upon the reasscm-
bling of the conference led me to express a
willingness to have the meeting still fur
ther postponed. 1t seems to ME that it
would be wise to give general authority to
the president to invite other nations to

these 1908 were not permitted to land un-

under it's supervision in preventing the
entrance and spread of contagious dis
eases. The admonitions of the last two
years touching our public health and the
demonstrated danger of the introduction
Of contagious diseases from foreign ports
has invested the subject Of national quar-
antins with increased interest. A more
general and harmonious system than now
exists, acting promptly and directly every
where, and constantly operating by pre-
ventive means to shield our country from
the invasion of disease, and 1T the same
time having due regard to the right and
duties of local agencies, would, believe,
add greatly to the safety Of our people.

many people whose work lies In de-
partment, but whose sense of RESPONSE
bility is extended to cover the whole
sphere of action. Their specific dutyis
to do particular thing, and to do 1t
with all the power and skill they pos
sess, but they spend their strength in
nervous anxiety with regard to the
work in other departments for which
they have no direct responsibility. 1t
is very easy to make the sense of re-
sponsibility tyrannical, aud to defeat
the very end for which it is given.
When this sense becomes so in
tense and pressing that 1t
no longer leaves the man or woman free
to do the best work in the best way, it
is abnormal. There are hosts of men
and women to-day whose power of do
ing good is seriously diminished by
their painful solicitude for their fellow
men. They bear the whole burden. Of
the world upon their shoulders; all the
misery of humanity rests on their
hearts and they are saddened and sick
ened by sense of their own inability
to deal with great problems, to right
great wrongs, and to lift great burdens.
This is not only great mistake, but,
in way, it shows faint of skepticism,
it involves distrust of God. George
Macdonald has portrayed this state
of mind in one of his best-known
stories, in which a man of great earn

come by his consciousness of human
misery and of the crying needs of the
world that he is really untitled for
duty. 1t is pointed out to him at last
that he is not only doing his own work,
but trying to do Gods work also; that
God is responsible for the universe, and
not man: and that all that any man Is
responsible for is the work that he per-
sonally can do under the most, favor
able conditions. To do that work thor
oughly one must have cheer, courage
and the entire command of ones forces.
through general feeling of the vast
ness of the problem ana the inadequacy
of man to deal with it, is to call Gods
Judgment into question and to doubt
His power to direct His own world.
Life is made up, not only of works, but
of faith, and no man can do the work
OF his day with the highest efficiency
who does not surround his own special
task with an invigorating and exhausti-
BILE atmosphere of faith. If we perform
the duty laid before us and do the work
assigned us, God will take care of the
rest of the world. We have no right to
paralyze ourselves by attempting to
add His work to our own.-Christian

A CITY WITHOUT A TEMPLE.


Prof. Drummond on the Mission of the
Christian Church.
II saw no temple there'-the future
city will be city without a church
Ponder that fact, realize the tenn
porainess of the church, then-go and
build one. Do not imagine that l
mean to depreciate the church. On the
contrary, if it were mine to build a
city, city where all life should be re-
ligious, and all men destined to be-
come members of the body of Christ,
the first stone should lay there would
be the foundation-stone of church?
Why? Because, among other reasons
the product which the church on the
whole best helps to develop and in
the largest quantity, is that which is
most needed by the city.
For the present and for a long time
to come, the mandatory of good men.
the nursery of the forces which are tc
redeem the city, will, in the main, be
found to be some more or less formal,
more or less imperfect Christian
church
II have said that were it mine to
build a city. the first stone should lay
there would be the foundation stone OF
a church. But if it were mine to preach
the first sermon in that church, | should
choose as the text: Il saw no church
therein should tell the people that
the great use of the church is to helr
men do without it. As the old ecclesi.
astical term has it, church services are
diets of worship. They are meals.
All who are hungry will take them,
and, if they are wise, regularly.
But no workman is paid for his
meals He is paid for the work he does
in the strength of them. No Christian
is paid for going to church. He goes
there for meal, for strength from God,
and from his fellow-worshippers to do
the work of life-which is the work OF
Christ. The church Is Divine institu
ton, because it is so very human an in
stitution. As channel of nourishment,
as a stimulus to holy deeds, as link
with all holy lives, let all men use it,
and to the utmost of their opportunity.
But by all that they know of Christ OF
care for man, let them beware of mis-
taking its services for Christianity.
What church services really express is
the want of Christianity. And when
that which is perfect in Christianity is
come, all this, as the mere passing stay
and scaffolding of struggling souls, must
vanish away.

but he belongs to the old-fashioned
school, and finds it difficult to adapt
himself to the modern fashion of short

he would deliver sermon upon

Doctor replied that he had just com,
