retaining Youth In Mature Life.

Not only does the vivacity, the en-
thusiasm, which belongs to youth carry
the man who retains it in middle age
over difficulties, but it brings him the
sympathy and applause of the world,
which is sometimes refused to more
worthy men.
We honor Bacon, but we give our af-
lection to Charles Lamb. Washington,
Jefferson, Adams spd Webster COM
manded the homage and veneration of
thenation, but it Low Clay, Lincoln and
Blaine, with all of tAoir faults.
The tendency of American life is to
force our young people into shrewd
adults, who try anxiously to rid them
selves Of impulse and emotion.
1t is a common sarcasm among the
young that their fathers and mothers en-
joy jokes and are touched by sentiment
which their children are quite too old to
care for.
But may not the fin de steele boys and
girls be losing an element of strength
when they forget how to weep and make
merry.-Youth's Companion.

The effect of belief or faith, the effect
Of mind over the matter Of the body, is
one of the mysterious things in all sci
ence. 1t is unquestionably fact, DEM
onstrated beyond all dispute by thou
sands of observed cases. Long before it
was admitted or studied by scientific
men it was commonly known, and that,
too, among races Of little mental devel-
opment. Who shall say when the first
enemy prayed his enemy to death among
the natives of the South Sea islands?
Who can tell when the first Obi man
"put cunjer" on him who had defied him?
The religious mysteries of vanished ma
tons are full of recorded occurrences
that may only be explained by this ex-
traordinary power.-Cyrus Edison, M.
D., in North American Review.

EDITORS HERALD la the Sunday
issue Of the Times there is communi-
cation signed by the Rev. DR.. Haskins,
in which he takes occasion to score q
brother clergyman on two points:
First, a reported sermon in which the
rector of st. Paul's, being a sensible,
matter-of-fact man, has spoken against
species of miracle-plsying which the
universal church has always discounte-
nsnced. That the doctor may feel
little sore at the attacking of 'fakirs"
should not, perhaps, be a source OF
great surprise, for he is himself report.
ed to be inclined to sensational theories
about the second advent.
His second charge is that "the staid
old Episcopal church, claiming to pos
sess the ministry, sacraments, /.
is going into the show business"
We wonder il the reverend gentleman
has the slightest suspicion OF the ILL
breeding displayed, or has he kindly
consented to sacrifice himself in order
to advertise the paper carnival?
The true inwardness of the thing is
this, contained as in nutshell in the
church,"
There was time when the Episcopal
church was very "staid," both in Eng
land and in America, when the psrson
could barely epare time to drone out q
service on Sunday and preach some
other mans sermon from his three
decker pulpit; when the holy Eucharist
was celebrated once or twice year or
at most once a month and charitable
work was all but unheard of.
But, thank God, the Episcopal church
ia no more 'staid." The Catholic re-
vival insugurated by the Oxford move
ment killed that quality. Now we hear
of daily services, weekly and OF often
daily Eucharists, bright and teaching
ritual. stirring sermons, sisterhoods do
ing their Christ-liks work among the
poor and unfortunate. orders of mission
priests vowed to purity doing noble
work in the slums, and all the church
alive to its privilege and duty.
Now this "staidness" in the Episcopal
church obtained very largely in this city
not many years ago, and bright SER
vice, churchly teaching was not encour-
aged. The usual change has taken place,
and We see st. Johns, st. Paul's and
I u Temporal o mores !-Christ church
taking to itself hearty service with a
ritual which is not ornate but decent
and in ORDER" and keeping step with
this outward change in inward growth.
Now it is barely possible that the shoe
pinches here.
The writer sincerely hopes that these
structures will not be construed by any
one as having personal reference.
They are not so intended. They are
directed against spirit of evil which
seems to have taken possession of some
Christian men. As a layman of the
Episcopal church / simply claim the
privilege OF registering my protest
against Encouraging the earnest work
of q parish priest of this church.

Congressman Mcguire Embodies Henry
Georges Ideas in Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The feature of
the debate upon the Wilson bill which
has been nost surprising ia the unex-
pectedly strong sentiment in the direc-
ton of free trade and single tax theories
developed among the Democrats of the
west and south. 1t has remained for
Mcguire of California to bring forward
the most fs--reaching proposition placed
before the house. For the first time
congress will be brought face to face and
placed on record upon the single land
tax scheme. of which Henry George is
the author. Mcguire has drawn up
with great care and study bill which
gives effect to the single tax theories,
and will propose it at the proper time as
q substitute for the income tax, tax Of
$62. 622, $50 upon the value of all land,
exclusive of the improvements there
on, in the states and territories.
1t provides for the collection by col
lectors and assessors for each state and
territory, to be appointed by the presj-
themselves and turn them over to the
treasurer of the United States, retaining
10 per cent OF the proceeds. Mortgages
on real estate are to be treated az in
terest in land, and taxable in proper
ton to the value represented. The
amount due from the mortgage shall
be primary charge against the mort
gage, but will constitute q lien on the
land, to satisfy what may be sold. In
case the mortgage fails to pay his pro-
portion, the owner is to pay it and be
entitled to receive credit for the amount
on his mortgage.

Thousand on cigarettes, the entire inter

the bill was completed. McMillin was

depression in business to the protective
policy of the Republican party, and de-

Anniversary OF a Pleasant Pastorate.

Yesterday marked the second anniver-
sary of the pastorate CT Rev. f. +. New
bert with the Unitarian parish in this city
The day was observed by the pastor giving
familiar review of the work of the year
The floral decorations were plentiful
punches of lilies of the valley about pulpit
and organ. The choir. composed of Miss
Robinson, soprano, Miss Turner, alto, Mr.
Blackington. tenor, and Mr.. Lowell, bass
rendered the musical selections in an i'm
pressive and appreciative manner.
The dav, with its alternate sunshine and
showers, was not typical of the year passed
so full of sunshine, helpfulness
and interest. This peaceful little church
home can boast of no rapid in
should not be reckoned by individual atten-
dance but by its growth upward and out
ward. A healthy progress has been made
and the popular young pastor has not only
firmly bound to himself and together the
members in mutual confidence, but has
established a growing interest among the
young in church work. The year has been
marked by the greatest unity of purpose
between pastor and people. There has
been no loud heralding of things done, but
in the steady, soulful, constant effort much
has been accomplished. Mr.. Newbert's
work has reached beyond the limits
of his church and his Original
thoughts, just counsels, and genial
genial ccmpanionship have been welcome
in our, literary and social circles. His
warm, sincere hand grasp has won many q
friend at large. "Non-churcbgoers" have
been attracted by Mr.. Newberts earnest
fearless and thoughtfully uttered truths
He has given to his people what came into
his own soul, without feeling bound to
please anyone, and he has succeeded in
pleasing everyone rare quality in min
lister.
The four sermons recently delivered or
successive Sunday mornings on THE Cos
pei of Beauty" "Truth," Life" Re
iigion," perhaps stand out from all the able
discourses of the year as of peculiar worth
and have been rarely excelled by utterances
from any pulpit.
Mr.. Newbert referred feelingly to the
members who greeted his coming, and who
had now passed from among us, and spoke
| of the want felt in this, as in other churches
| of the CHEEKY presence of more of the male
portion of the parish. Tie men are willing
to help by their counsel, their good will
and even their pocketbooks. Now if they
would lend little more of their time dur
ing church hours, to help fill the pews, they
would not only encourage the pastor, bu
help themselves. If society wants
churches and ministers to exist, society
must 20 to church. "Don't think yor
must 60 to church to get another man!
opinion. but bring your own and soften o.
strengthen it by bit from song, sermon o.
neighbor."
May the strong friendship between pas
tor and people in this parish be likened il
all and continue its helpfulness through
long future. 7.
