 remark, further, that this layer of looking glasses spoken of in the text was very large layer. I always thought, from the fact that so many washed there, and also from the fact that Solomon aft erward, when he copied that layer in the temple, built it on very large scale, that it was large, and so suggestive of the gospel of Jesus Christ and salvation by him-vast in it's provisions The whole world may come and wash in this layer and be clean.
 When our civil war had passed, the government of the United States made proclamation of pardon to the common soldiery in the Confederate army, but not to the chief soldiers. The gospel of Christ does not act in that way. It says pardon for all, but especially for the chief of sinners. I do not now think of single passage that says small sinner may be saved, but do think of passages ihat say great sinner may be saved. If there be sins only faintly hued, just a little tinged, so faintly colored that you can hardly see them, there Is no special pardon promised in the Bible for those sins, but if they be glaring, red like crimson, then they shall be as snow. Now, my brother, do not state this to put premium upon great iniquity. I merely say this to encourage that man, whoever he his, who feels he is SO tay

sometimes instead of right; that prefers to wallow instead of rise up. I do not care what you call that. am not going to quarrel with any theologian or any man who makes any pretensions to the ology. | do not care whether you call it total depravity" or something else. I simply make the announcement of Gods word, affirmed and confirmed by the experience of hundreds of Christian people The imagination of the heart of man Is evil from youth. ''There Is none that doeth good-no, not one" We have bad nature. We were born with it. We got 1t from our parents. They got it from their parents. Our thoughts are wrong, our action Is wrong, our whole life is obnoxious to God before conversion, and after conversion not one good thing in us but that which the grace of God has planted and fostered. Well, you say, 1T can't believe that to be SO" An, my dear brother, that Is because you have never looked into this layer of looking glasses
 It Is Full of Evil.
 If you could catch a glimpse of your natural heart before God, you would cry out in amazement and alarm. The very first thing this gospel does is to cut down our pride and self suficiency. If man does not feel his lost and ruined condition before God, he does not want any gospel. think the reason that there are so few conversions in this day is be- cause the tendency of the preaching is to make men believe that they are pret- ty good anyhow-quite clever, only wanting little fixing up, a few touch es of divine grace, and then you will be all. right-instead of proclaiming the broad, deep truth that Payson and iWhitefeld thundered to race trembling on the verge of infinite and eternal disase@.

NEW YEARS CALLING
an old KniclzevbOckerC Custom That Should
Be Perpetuated.

Ee Perpetuated-
While the New Years customs of an
cient times possess for US a certain fas-
cination, we find still more interesting
the celebrations Of the present time.
The one that is most characteristic, most
truly American, is the old Knicker-
booker custom of making calls upon
New Years day, and it is to be hoped
that it viii be long continued by those
who care to encourage and sustain
whatever is distinctly national and
characteristic among us. 1t Is true that
this custom belongs to a time when
making calls had not become a daily
business, pursued for want Of other oc-
cupation by men and women of leisure
1t is true that 1t belongs to a time when
men were too busy to do much visiting
and gladly seized this annual OppOrtu-
nifty of looking up old friends and es-
pecially the busy wives and mothers
they had known as girls and recalling
and recounting the scenes and events CT
their youth.
This annual Frightening of the links
of old friendships is the special function
Of New Years calls. The day is put to
very bad use when it is employed in a
mere effort to count up a long list OF
names Of persons whom one may have
seen yesterday OF the day before and
who have no steady purpose to prevent
them from calling every day of their
lives
OF course one does not want to miss
ones intimates on such day, but there
is not the same object in setting apart a
day for them, and that is the reason
why some modern and fashionable peo-
pie who have Travelled" relinquish
the custom when they return home to a
life based as far as possible on what
they have heard and seen abroad. But
this class are not all Of American sOcie-
ty. There are many who represent the
Oldest and best families who cling to
old habits, who do not spend half their
lives abroad, but who are the strength
and honor of the best enterprises and
efforts at home.
Then there are others, busy business
and professional men and women, who
form the largest part Of our best So
ciety, who perhaps do the most to for
mulate its habits and perpetuate its Gus
toms, and to these the 1st of January,
as q day Of freedom and devotion to tho
social idea, is a boon which they well
come apart from its significance and the
desire to perpetuate it as a custom -

On the Difficulties Enoountsrsd by Young
Men who Try Learn Trades
ToPEKA, KAN, Dec %. 1894
TO tbs Editor of the STATE JOURNAL.
In your issue of the 18th, referring TO
what an exchange says. that more young
men are learning trades inside the penl-
Tertiary than outside of it, because We
are trying TO make lawyers, doctors and
clerks out Of material for blacksmtths.
etc, and asking the question: If it is not
because young men just entering the
struggle of life see that the fellows who
work with their hands are poorly paid,
and therefore they seek places as clerks
and id the various professions
Allow me Cd differ with you as to the
cause Of so many young men seeking
employment as clerks and going into
the professions. To a great extent the
real cause is. because they can not get
into shops and Offices as apprentices to
learn trades. They are barred from be-
coming apprentices by the laws Of the
various Ia Dor organizations in the country.
I know myself of numerous instances
right here in Topeka, where the fathers
are doctors, lawyers and members Of the
city council and holding positions Of
trust in the various places, desire to put
their boys to some trade. 1t is the wish
of the boys also, ia the cases 4 refer to,
t0 learn some trade, but alasl they are
not allowed to.
i suppose nifty men in the last year
have said to me. 'sNhat are we TO do
with our boys9 We want them to learn
trades and the rules of the labor organi-
cations won't allow it,.
IN my judgment this is the reason for
the fact that was stated: that more men
are learning trades ia the penitsntiary
than out of it.
IL IS absolutely necessary that change
should be in these matters, and there
must be change or the result will be
more dcleterious liza the future ia tn IN the
pass. Yours truly, F. r. BAKER
