CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Comment by Rev. 5. II. DoyIe.

ToPrC.-What and how to provide for the
future. Math. XIV, 81 ~
In the twenty fourth chapter Of Mat
thew Christ. in answer to question Of
His disciples, speaks to them concerning
the destruction of Jerusalem and His
second coming and the destruction Of
the world. In the beginning Of the
twenty fifth. by the parable Of tho ten
virgins, Ho teaches the Importance Of
being prepared for His coming at all
times, since no one knows the time Of
His coming. In the closing words Of
this chapter. which is our lesson, He
describes the concluding act of the judg-
ments described in His previous dis
courses. 1t is solemn reality and not
merely parable, though it speaks fig
uratiyely Of n shepherd dividing tho
sheep from the goats. In this descrip-
tion Of the final judgment we may learn
what and how to provide for the future.
!. We should provide for the judg-
ment OF Christ. when the Son Of Man
shall come in His glory and oil the holy

upon the throne Of His glory. and before
Him shall b. gathered all nations, and
He shall separate them one from an
other, as n shepherd divideth his sheep
from the goats. " This is the description

opportunity to perform such acts in

Consolidated Road Notoa.

The Consolidated Railroad company have taken c new departure. or rather have gone back to an old-time style in the matter of building locomotive turn tables. A new 80-foot table Is being built on the Berkshire division at New Milford. but instead Of being construct ed of iron. as have been all of their turn tables for many years. 1t is being built of wood, It has been found that besides being much cheaper wooden turn-table lasts quite as long if not longer than those built of iron. and the probability Is that wood will be princi- pally used in the future.
 The Consolidated are also building a new coal dock at Wilson's Point, South Norwalk. which will be one of the big gest in the state. Besides the business of the Danbury and Norwalk division, much of the roads coal business on the Housatonic and Naugatuck divisions is now done via Wilson's Point. the Nau- gatuck business being done by way of Rotsford Junction.

work and quite different thing in the
eye of the law for many persons to COM
bine or conspire together with the in
tent, not simply of asserting their rights
by peaceable methods, but of employing
their united efforts to injure others or
the public.
at tseems entirely clear that any COM
bination or conspiracy on tho part of
those employees would be illegal which
had for its object the crippling of prop
erty in the hands of receivers, either by
disabling property, by obstructing the
control of management of the property,
or by using force, intimidation or wrong
full methods against employees remaining
in the service to induce them to quit the
service. Combinations of this character
disturb the peace of society and are dan
gerous in the extreme. They imperil
the interests of the public and endanger
the personal liberty and personal secur-
ity of individuals who, in the exercise of
the lnalienable privilege of choosing the
terms upon which they shall labor, en-
ter or attempt to enter the services of
those against whom such combinations
are aimed.
"The Circuit Court, therefore, proper
ly framed its injunction so as to restain
all acts specifically mentioned. We are
of the opinion that the court properly
refused to strike from the writs of in
junction the words, and from combin-
ing or cOnspiring to quit the services of
receivers with the object of crippling
the property in their custody"

THE RECONCILIATION OF Sill
YER

A correspondent of the NewY ork Press
takes issue with the assertion that silver
has been demonetized. He says:
"There is more silver coin in the coun-
try to-day Than there is any demand for,
and there is plethora of it in all the
banks, so that it was necessary to stop
the coinage of it. How, then, is it de-
monetized?"
The Press replies 1t is demonetized
in the sense that it is no longer standard
money. Both gold and silver were stand
ard money in this country from 1892 to
1873, and both had been standard money
for uncounted centuries prior to 1892.
Both had precisely the same mint privi-
leges down to 1878; that is to say, man
who had gold or silver, or both, could
take them to the mints and have silver
coined upon the same terms that were
required for the coinage of gold. In the
year 1878 an act was passed by Congress
making gold the sole standard, and with
drawing from silver the coinage priYi-
leges which were retained for gold. At
this moment any one owning gold bullion
may have it turned into coin in any
quantity, practically without cost to him
self. and as the free act of the govern
ment. A man who owns silver bullion
cannot have an ounce coined, even If he
be willing to pay for it. This is demon
etization.
The fact of the revolutionary change
effected by the act of 1873 was expressed
in the following terms by Senator Sher-
man upon the floor of the Senate on
March 9th, 1876:
"Our coinage act came into operation
on the 1st of April, 1878 and constituted
the gold one dollar piece, the sole unit of
value. Thus the double stand
ard previously existing was finally abol-
lshed and the United States, as usual,
was influenced by Great Britain in max
ing gold coin in the only standard"
Thus, under the system which has re-
jected silver as part of the standard
money of the country, the entire existing
mass of currency, paper notes and silver,
rests finally upon gold alone. The silver
coin is maintained at par by the gold be-
hind it. Before the system was intro
duced silver money was not redeemable
in anything, and it rested upon nothing.
1t was money of final payment. Its val
ne was not derived from gold base, but
was in itself. But this is not all.
STANDARD" money is money that meas
ures all values. 1t is supposed to
''stand" while other values tiuctuate. In
fact, however, the demonetizatiOn of sill
YER inevitably enhanced the value Of
