TRUE PIE7TY.

"Piety.is of the heart and is person
al 1t is inward and of the spirit, not
outward. 1t is not to be put on like a
clerical coat or the veil of religious,
but is that inward adornment of which
the scriptures speak, and as to which
they inculcate modeSty of demeanor.
Nothing is more beautiful than that
quiet, transformations piety which
springs from the full apprehension of
the dement's Of self and the merits and
mercy of Jesus Christ; relying upon
Him, living in Him, and living for
Him. All assumptions of piety are
offensive; they SAVIOR of hypocrisy
they indicate a pride which comes from
the exaltation of self and from a de-
sire to get credit for religious devotion.
Our Savior distinguished this class of
persons in His condemnation of those
who love to pray standing in the syn
agogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men,
We have need to remember this in
junction: Take heed that we do not
your righteousness before men to be
seen of them; otherwise we have no re-
ward of your Father which is in Hea-
ven.
Genuine piety can always be dis
tinguished from the spurious type. 1t
never advertises ieself. 1t never seeks
to make itself conspicuous. 1t never
tries to elicit the praise of men, but
seeks by secret prayer and personal
devotion to worship the Creator and
Redeemer in spirit and in truth. In

MISSIONARIES NOT BLAMELEss.

The views expressed in a recent

and implies that they are making en-
tirely too much cutlery This is a deli
cate matter for the Messenger to pro-
nounce upon. 1t has only admiration
for the missionary who braves danger
to spread civilization; but a distinction
is to be drawn between races that pos
sess ethical codes of their own and
tribes that are still fast bound in say
agery. Meanwhile, if a civilized land
like the United States excludes the
Chinese, can China be expected to love
the foreigner? 1t is a strange coinci-
dence that crimes of which ignorant
Chinese accuse the Christian, mediae-

TIE NEW LABOR BILL

Attorney General 0lnev's substitute for the
labor bill prepared 10y Commissioner Car
roll d. Wright is a decided improve
ment over the original. His PROPOSE
tion to dispense with a permanent labor
commission may not meet with favor in
labor circles. but TO those familiar with the
ways OF railroad corporations the policy OF
submitting labor differences TO a new board
Of arbiters each time will commend itself.
Tho proyiso that employees dissatis ID
with an award ''shal not quit work without
thres months notice would amount TO moth
ing. No law could be enforced tc compel
employees to remain against their will, and
there could be no recourse for the perform
ance of their contract except through a suit
for damages. Mr.. oiney's stipulation that
wages sha ! be reasonable an just could
only be accepted as a guide for those who
arbitrate, and it would be a matter of iudg-
ment and not Of law.
The one great commendable feature of Mr..
Olney's bill is its Endorsement of labor organ
izations. The bill provides that an arbitra-
tion board shall not be created unless the full
sentiment OF body Of employees is expressed
in the demand, and how better can It be rep
resented than through the machinery Of an
organization. The bill also protects men,
bers OF labor organizations from discharge
and provides penalty for employers who dis
criminate against organized labor. All in all
Mr.. 0lney's bill is the best yet presented to
Congress, and will furnish groundwork fol
good arbitration law.

A HINT FROM FAR CATEAY.

II any one had predicted six months ago
that the impulse for change in the naval
construction policy of the United States
would come from China and Japan he would
have been looked upon as 4 visionary or a
lunatic. Yet just that thing has come-to pass.
Instead of more cruisers, we are going TO
build more battleshlps and torpedo boats,
and the cause is the battle of the Yalu River.
Cruisers have special field of operations
as commerce destroyers and ocean patrolmen,
SO 10 speak. II there is slight disturbance
somewhere and show of national authority,
dignity. or assertiveness is to be made, the
cruiser of the first class is just the thing to
do it. When it comes, however. 10 giving
and taking hard blows, when big battles are
to be fought, forts to be passed or taken, the
battleship and its small but powerful adjunct,
the torpedo boat, can best do the business.
The naval appropriation bill now pending
makes provision for three battleships and
twelve torpedo boats. They will form re-
spectacle addition to our Navy, and if the
building of naval vessels is continued at this
rate the United States will. in the course of
the next ten or fifteen years, have Navy
which will be able to hold its own against
that of any other nation.
