Christian Nations Responsible for It's In
PRODUCTION and Continuance There.
~ used to think America was the wicked
est country in the world but have changed
my mind" said lady from the pulpit Of
Foundry NJ. {. Church yesterday afternoon.
The speaker wasMrs. Mary Clement Leay-
lit, the he-world-missionary' of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union. She
spent eight years in the trip that circed the
globe. and yesterday gave her auditors n
graphic recital OF many OF her observations
during the pilgrimage.
''Dr. McCosh," continued Mrs. Leavitt.
"once said that America is moro moral and
more religious than Scotland, and Moody
said tho same. Every great moral reform
started in either England or America, gener-
ally in the latter Not one moral reform was
ever originated in continental Europe.
1T remains for America and England 20
eradicate a great evil The rum that was
first introduced into the west coast OF Africa
went from Boston. 1t is now pouring in, and
1t comes from Christian nations. 1t is q curse
there, and Is debauching the land. Every
man who is employed there is obliged to take
a flask OF rum as part pay for his week S
work. The men are daily placed in line. and
rum is dispensed to them by the drink. They
are employed, some OF them, for a period OF
two years. At the end OF that period they are
compelled TO take cask that holds from
forty to fifty gallons OF whisky as part com
pensatiOn.
'sThis is not the work of Christians. but
Christian countries are responsible for its in
PRODUCTION there and the continuance OF the
traffic. Germany supplies flye-sevenths of
that rum: Holland, one-seventh, and Eng
land, France. America and other countries
the remainder Germany makes LOCO per
cent profit on the cheap potato whisky sent
there. and sends each vessel in the trade three
times year with a cargo. Every Christian
nation has in one way or another indorsed its
sale in that country.
I'VE must do something. II we would
come up to the standard of righteousness laid
down in the Bible and put no man in power,
from President TO the humblest. who is not
pure and upright, and if We would found our
laws on the Ten Commandments, the traffic
would cease"
Much interesting data was given OF what
the good lady discovered during her ab-
senCe. and the result of her observations in
other countries than the one named were en-
tertainincIy presented AT the conclusion OF
her lecture a collection was taken up for Mrs.
Leavitt's benefit 1t was stated that Mrs.
Leavitt's labors in the cause heretofore have
been largely at her own expense, but that
lately she had lost her fortune by the failure
of bank, and it was desired to make her q
donation

DUTY OF CHRISTIANS.
DR.. A. G. Rogers Shows How They Can Aid
in the Solution of Social
Problems


81 believe the time is near at hand when
Jesus Christ shall rule in the world of COM
merce, labor, and politics, and all men will be
IN truth equal"
So, said Rev. A. G.. Rogers, OF the Church
OF Our Father, in his sermon last night on the
relation OF the Christian church to the labor
ing classes. DR.. Rogers was greeted by a
large audience, and the services were made
more interesting by several sacred songs
sung by quartet Of Fisk Jubilee Singers.
In beginning his discourse the speaker said
that while he did not think it was the minis
ter's duty to spend an evening discussing the
latest novel or TO attempt TO solve the social
problems OF the day, yet 1t was happy sign
that the question OF the relation OF the church
TO labor Is receiving more attention from
ministers than ever before
1.-The truest and best service we can offer to
God, said the speaker, ais the best service
we can render to our fellowmen. Free pulpit,
free public Schools and free press will go a
long way toward solving the great social
problems Of the present day. In connection
with the questions covering the relation OF
man to man in striving for livelihood is the
problem Of capital and labor and the dimin-
ishing of poverty.
How shall We meet and try to solve these
problems! Much may be expected from ar
bitration, but relief cannot be obtained from
this source. Legislation will do considerable
toward aiding US in the accomplishment OF
our purpose but the relief from this source
will not be permanent. Temperance has
been suggested as remedy, but, good as 1t
is, 1t will not suffice in this instance. Chris
tianity alone will make impartial equality
possible"
Referring to the workiDgman's remedies,
DR.. Rogers said: 1.-The workinGmen resort TO
strikes as their only means of relief. But we
ehould not be blind to the fact that the lead
ers OF the strike are in the business for all
there is in it, and generally they do not care
whether the strike be successful or not.
Trades unions are all right, but we should
understand that economic liberty is not to be
secured by forcible means.
"The Christian socialists think that in
their doctrines there is remedy for the evil.
But they should and probably do know, but
are loath to admit, the truth of the statement
that the condition of life at the present time
prevents possibility OF solution by such
means. No charmed ism that men may or
ganize can attain these ends.
1T is for the church TO make the laboring
lcsses feel that there is no gulf between the
daily toilers and the Christian religion. The
ethics OF the Christian religion should be en-
phaszed in the pulpit more than now, and
Christians must go on in this endeayor 10
bring about this equality.
III Christ should speak In New York, BOs-
ton, or Chicago to-day He would tell the
masses that Gods justice ana mans justice
will solve the difficulty and make the employe
equal with his employer"
In conclusion DR.. Rogers urged business
men 10 be just to their employees and thus CO.
operate with the churches in bringing about
the happy result so much desired.

a SILENT AND s1E1Ess 1NF1DEL1rY.

The very unusual and very interesting case
was related in The TINES of Saturday Of a
lady, Mrs. William Livingston Bruen, who
abandoned the complainant because she
deemed it unconscionable 10 live with him
whom she did not and never had loved
There is food for reflection in this singular
case. Mrs. Bruen took the high ground that
living in the married state with man whom
she did not and never had loved" is utterly
irreconcilable with any theory of morality.
Indeed, it is a case, so far as we know. in
which that conscience which usually "doth
make towards Of US alI'' has made Of this
woman an exemplar and heroine. Mrs.
Bruen believes, evidently, that there is I'd
great a crime in constructive as in actual in
fidelity, and we cannot help recognizing the
fine quality Of a conscience which sbrank
from the odium and infamy, known only TO
herself. OF impersonating a living lie.
The world can stand great deal more Of
that kind Of seli-sacrihce. 1t would be false

GEN. scHoFIELD's VIEWS.

The recommendation of Gen. Schoaeld that
the Army force of the government be mate
rally increased is not likely to meet with
popular favor. The people of this country
have never believed in extensive military es-
Establishments in times of peace, and there
would seem to be less reason now for an in
crease in the armed force than at any time
since the close OF the Mexican war, when the
boundaries were enlarged and the exposed
points muldpled.-Kansas City Times.
It should be borne in mind that the need Of
large bodies Of troops on the outposts Of
civilization has been obviated by the tanning
of the Indians, and thus the regulars can be
concentrated nearer the center of population
aad of industrial and commercial activity.
Gen. Schoaeld's opinions and suggestions on
this subject are entitled to great respect. but
nevertheless it is question whether or not it
is necessary to increase the United States
military strength at this time Philadelphia

RKINLFY IN THE SOUTH.

Napoleon McKinley's invasion OF the South
is a triumph Of local greed and selhshness.
Wherever the pocketbook Of protected inter-
ests is touched by reform legislation. there
the recruits Of McKinleyism gather, and there
is their leader present with his slogan Of
patriotism for protection only.
That is the significance Of the majors visit
TO New Orleans. Self-interest is always a
more or less important factor in determining
individual political action, and those who
rate selI-interest as the highest human motive
may see in Napoleon McKinleys Southern re-
ception signs Of Southern conversion 10 Nc
Einleyism.
But those who so read the portents in
Louisiana skies are apt TO forget the purely
local and narrow character Of louisiana s
outbreak Of McKinleyism. Here are a lot of
disaffected sugar-planters whose sole griev-
ance is that they DO not get their protection
in cash out Of government Golfers instead OF
getting it by the more roundabout, bH
equally effective. method Of taking it in tar
iff taxation out of the pockets Of the people.
Does anyone suppose this sort Of thing is
going 10 furnish the raw material Of a politi-
cal revolution? Political revolutions never
come out Of small things which do not pos
sess in themselves the elements ofgrowth into
larger things. And if there is one settled
question in American politics it is that Nc
Kinleyism has reached its climax and ulti-
mate growth. There is no room for it to
spread, and no demand for its extension.
Meantime Napoleon Mckinley makes the
most Of his mushroom plant. he imagines
1t a healthy and virile growth. and is nightly
tickled because he planted the seeds Of it.
Let HIM amuse himself with it if he likes.

her true relation, which is hypocrisy, would
have been better than the painful alternative
she adopted.
As the times so by and the ideas, 'ad-
vaneed," if you please. of woman's place,
power, and duties are realized, the tragedies
Of life may not be so frequent as in the past
and the present. Each one Of us, man or
woman, married or single. must learn the
philosophy that this is not vale of tears,
that sorrow and shame have no Legitimate
part in the play to be enacted on this side OF
the grave But this lesson can never be
learned, and Il learned it will lose half its
value if woman's conscience and sense of
duty are silent when they should speak,
either in the home circle or in the world of
action

Where the sunlight never strays.
Except through trembling foliage,
Perchance some struggling rays

The ground in figures quaint,
Such things as rival sculptor's hand
And even artists paint
A cavern brown and moss-grown,

Who answers back each voice she hears,
But never yet was seen;
A Village maiden pauses here,
And whispers: "Now, confess.
Does Jaquelin love me, no or yes;"
And echo answers Yes"
