Considerable Christian Endeavor is
needed 10 sort ont the popular hymn
tunes Of tho day and to put by them
selves, where they can DO found when
wanted, the songs that truly express
emotions fitting for Endeavor meetings.
Attention should also be paid to the
hymns. for good many verses given
out to be sung in Endeavor and other re-
lgious meetings are anything but help
full to the devotional spirit. There are
hymns Of discourasement,h hymns of fault
finding, hymns Of personal inexperience,
hymns that express religious untruths
and hymns that express nothing ut All
save poor grammar and worse meter
The attempt to sing with enthusiasm
poor hymns st % poorer music involves
vast deal Of endeayor, not always of
Christian kind
To encourage singing endeavors" let
rs have the RI 5nt kind Of Endeavor mu-
sic. We want hymns Of encouragement,
hymns Of praise, hymns OF faith, hymns
Of devotion. WE want christian work
songs that viii stir up the singers both
to Will aud to do.' We want Christian
campaign songs that will quicken our
pulses and deepen our ardor for the
cause of Christ Then we want these
hymns set 70 music that shall express in
its own true language the same emo
tions. Ii tAe hymn sketches tho outline
OF a Christian thought or purpose, the
music should fill in the color. If tho
poetry embodies the idea, the song
should watt it heavenward.-

Some people have expected to see tho
Society Of Christian Endeavor show
signs of waning vigor as its years in
crease. The contrary is true, as is indi-
Gated by Secretary Baer's report at
Montreal, which showed net gain Of
5,276 societies during the past year,
larger gain than was ever made before
in single Year and a number as large
as gained by the society during the first
seven years Of its existence. 1t must be
remembered, too. that this is a net gain,
every society that has been changed
to a purely denominational society, as
hundreds have been changed in the
Methodist Episcopal denomination, hav
ing been dropped from the roll. In all
other denominations the societies are
multiplying as never before. Even since
the convention at Montreal the list has
Increased by several hundreds.

True intellectual manhood has not
been attained until men have learned to
trust nature, to test all opinions and
schemes by the tombstone of natural
law, and as n necessary result to despise
swaddling clothes and leading strings
and all the paraphernaiia OF creeping
childhood or timorous imbccility. We
see before us. as we believe, Il prospect
of manhood for the American people
such manhood as they have never be-
fore attained to-one of the chief signs
Of which will be proud conf flenoe i'll

through harmony herewith noble and
generous bearing toward all other ma
tions.
Heretofore men politically prominent
among ourselves have not been ashamed
to suggest that the best policy for Ills vas
the one that wrought most evil 10 other
countries, and have thus fed end stimu-
lated all tha: was lneancSt and most ma
Ggnant i'll the minds OF those whom they
addressed. There has thus been culti-
waited among people which oughE, from
its advantages of position, To hc the most
cosmopolitan and broadly philanthropic
of all nations Il tone of feeling moro
petty and parochial than could perhaps
be found in any other community of the
modern world. The mark has. however,
been overslu3t. and the better feeling and

Third Term Talk.

The most astounding report which is
brought here, and Mr.. Benedict was au-
thority for it, is the suggestion contained
in the fattering remarks made by many
of the Office seekers 90 the president. a
large proportion of them, certainly more
than one-half, say to him that they expect
to have the privilege Of voting for him
again in 1896. Some Of them try to ex-
plain why by asserting that party lines
will be SO changed, and he will have built
up so strong a personal following, and it
will be SO necessary to be sure that his
policy will be carried out, that the coun-
try will simply demand that he serve
another term Some of those who are
not otiiceholders suggest this to him. He
never makes any reply to these sugges-
tions, and what he thinks Of them no one
