Mr.. Chamberlain was the foremost figure In
the recent British electoral campaign 10 him.

the intrinsic Importance OF the post, the Colohiai
Secrearyship will in his hands be second 10
none in the whole list. This, indeed, is quite as
1t should be so long the British Empire lasts.
The Colonial is the truly Imperial Ministry.
The Empire consists largely-eyeIy year more
largely-of colonies. It's future is in the hanis
Of those cole aies. If they grow to splendid Nh
turity and then one by one are lost, as the thir-
teen colonies Of North America were LOST. ana

they will be continued burden to the weary

they can be developed in all their penitude ana
still be held loyal TO the Crown, and even bound

TILE CLERGYMANS TACATION.

Little has been heard this summer from the
carping critic whose function ii has been for
many years 10 haul the clergy over the Goals for
taking a vacation. The old adage has ii that
perseverance will conquer everything; but his
crusade Is proof that the adage is not always
true: for. in spite Of his perseverance, the par
sons keep on taking their vacations just like
other folks and their people are willing TO have
them do 20. Every one has heard the old story
of the worthy church pillar to whom local
earning critic once said: What do you give
..your minister vacation for? He doesn't need
"nw Maybe not" was the reply, but we do
We are glad to believe that there are few con-
grecations nowadays of whom that eplgram
would be literally true; and yet 1t is fact that
most congregations are benefited by the tenn
porary cessation Of their clergyman's preach
ing in the summer vacation. He may be man
OF deep religious fervor and convincing elo-
ouence. with the power Of arousing the spiritual
svmpathies Of all his people; but just because
that is so, he Is apt to task the ability OF average
neonle TO assimilate what he says. They are not
keyed up to his high spiritual plane, and the
constant repetition Of his pet phrases and modes
Of thought unconsciously dulls their interest In
what he says But during the vacation they
have time to recover from their spiritual weari-
moss If such 1t may be called Perhaps they
hear other preachers, who present the old mes
sage OF their own preacher in fresh and I'M
wonted way and from a new angle of spiritual
vision They are conscious Of a stimulus and
n mental refreshment that they carry back with
them 10 the home church. and which. strangely
enough. cause them 10 take renewed pleasure In
listening 10 their own pastor, who on his part
is able because OF his rest, to throw a new and
unwonted power into his words. Clearly, the
clerical vacation Is a good thing all around. The
church pillar aforesaid spoke wiser words than
he rocked when he said that the people needed
q rest. For such an interruption OF the pastoral
relation is often the best method Of revealing
its strength. 1t Is from the goodbys Of yester
doy that the greetings of to-day derive their
charm.
"Uow can you leave your people," said
friendly critic to clergyman Of this city on
the eve Of his vacation. oh" was the reply
Il am not leaving them, but going to find them
In the case Of many city churches the reply Is
LARGELY true Most Of the congregations go out
~ town: and while the fact might not justify
tho closing Of the churches In all cases, II does
suggest. and even call for, n temporary cessa-
ton Of many Of the ordinary parochlal activities.

IN CENTRAL AFRICA.

The announcement Of more fighting between
Bclgians and the Mahdists in the Congo State
shows that the troubles which became acute
there in April last have by DO means yet been
ended. The scene Of action Is In the extreme
northeastern part of the Congo region, on the
bordorland between the Niam-Niam country and
the Bahr-el-Ghazel There three empires meet
the Congo Free State, the French Congo and
the British Egyptian Soudan. Perhaps it would
be more accurate to say the three Powers are
pushing their outposts ththcr, in eager rivalry
TO secure that remnant Of no mans land in the
Dark Continent. At present Great Britain Is
doing little, unless-as Is not lmprobaOle-she
is using Belgium as a catspaw She has made no
actual advance beyond Uganda. But she has
leased TO King Leopold the territory Of Wadela
and Lado as far rs five and a half degrees north;
that is pretty well up into the region which the
French claim as belonging to their Congo State
The Belgians are now pressing forward 10 take
actual possession Of it, and thus have come into
conflict with the Mahdsts, who are themselves
moving southwark to meet the Belgians. Ser-
Gus fighting began in the AIDA country in April
last, and at first the Mahdists were victorious,
the Belgians being compelled 10 abandon their
advanced posts and fall back for reinforcements
More troops have been sent and the campaign
is now doubtless being pushed with all possible
yigor.
In the mean time another Belgian expedition,
under Captain Dhanis, Is descending the Nile
from Gondokoro. Its purpose and destination
have been carefully concealed. The "Mouve-
mcnt Geographique." Of Brussels, thinks II Is
bound for kharioum. That would be indeed Il
bold enterprise. and. II successful. would be the
greatest stroke in Africa for many year Ger
tain II is that King Leopold has secured from
Slatin Boy all possible information about the
present condition Of Iihartoum and has for
warded it to the military officers Of the Congo
State. Moreover il X to be- remembered that
Captain Dhanis SAID setting out that II Eng
land and France would keep their hands OF for
a time the Congo State would break the power
Of the MahdIsts Those powers are keeping
their hands off II Is hardly 10 be- supposed that

in Egypt are so closely concerned, has failed

movements and object, or that she would allow

munities who seldom leave their parish. Ihey
are all the time becoming more broadly human
and less disposed to lay an undue emphasis on
that which is temporary or accidental III this
is so-and the fact will be readily admitted
II Is largely because the city clergy not only come
