THE CHURCH AND SECULAR LIFE.

1T deals with the relations of the
church to the life of men, to education,
charity, business. labor, politics, reforms
and society. 1t is the work of man
who has evidently thought much upon
the subjects which are now to the fore.
and bis convictions are spoken plainly.
1t is another of the books that should be

The following is taken from the Lea
der Of last week. The writer is Rev.
John Coleman Adams, d. D., the New
York correspondent of that paper. The
rebuke administered to the New York
papers is we'll deserved. They are, of all
metropolitan papers, the most provin-
cial and sadly need widening of their
mental horizon:
at is curious comment upon the alb
solute provincialism of the New York
press, so far as the great West is con-
cerned, that it's leading dailies were ap-
parently in blank ignorance of the fact
that last Sunday man who is more ia
nous in the religious world today than
any metropolitan minister was preaching
in this city. His distinguished labors
in the promotion of Worlds Parliament
of Religions have made his name fam
iliar to religious men of every faith the
world over. Yet he comes to New York
and occupies conspicuous pulpit, and
the cockney Manhattan reporters never
find out that DIR. John Henry Barrows
has visited the sacred island. Had
DIR. Barrows visited Edinburgh or Lon
don. Berlin or Calcutta. he would have
had more fitting reception than in New
York. which knows not Chicago nor any
of it's leaders. To the New York jour
nalist verifying Chicagoan is either
scandal or unknown. DIR. Barrows not
being Chicago scandal his appearance
in this city was suffered to go I'M

OUR ONO correspon-
More ministers are dent, noting the fact
Neeoea' of the numerous ap-
plications from ministers for vacant
pastorates, concludes that the supply is
more than equal to the demand. and
asks, who will say that we need more
ministers?"' THE UNIvERsALIsT does not
agree with this estimate. The needs OF
the church are still very much greater
than the supply, but we need that kind
of ministers who are willing to accept
the missionary pastorates and who will
plant themselves in humble positions
and work up their own congregations
and churches. We need ministers for
the various points opened up during
last year by General Missionary Shinn
and other workers who are interested in
the extension of eur church. There will
always be more or less competition
among ministers fol- prominent parishes.
The policy of our church should be to
graduate men from the theological
schools who will understand from the
beginning that they are to fill these
humble positions, and make them COM
manding by their own exertions. When
our prominent positions are filed the
young men must strike out for them
selves and build up their own congrega-
tions. Give us an abundance of men
and they will be obliged to adopt this
course, and thus strengthen and enlarge
the church. There are dozens of places
in the West where parishes could be es.
tablished and good support realized by
enterprise and devotion on the part of
our younger ministers.

EDITORIAL.

IT will be seen by a
Agent Of Illinois notice in another col
Uonvention' umn that Rev. L. j.
Dinsmore, who has lately resigned the
charge of the Church of Our Father. in
the north division of the city, has been
appointed special missionary agent OF
the Illinois Convention and for the next
few months will be employed in caring
for the interests of our churches in this
State. He will act as State superintend-
emit. and ministers seeking positions in
Illinois. and parishes needing pastors are
requested to communicate with him in
care of this office. The appointment
WAS made at the last meeting OF the
Executive Committee and is move in
the right direction. Every State needs
lust such an official, who will have an
oversight over it's general concerns.
We understand that the appointment OF
Mr.. Dinsmore is for three months. and
that he will have special charge OF par
ishes that have been applicants for Con-
vention help. Mr.. Dinsmore is capable
OF doing good service in this position.
He is now an official that has been long
needed.

walton of all souls is glorious truth,
clearly revealed in the Bible. But while
it affords indispensable JOY to those who
have learned it and made it part OF
their creed, and acts upon them as
great incentive to purity of heart and
yirtuous life, it is as sealed book to one
who does not apply it. He does not
nrooress in it because he has not yet re-
ceived it. The light will sometime break
in upon his soul like the dawn OF day
unon the domain of darkness, and 1t will
then add to the accumulations OF truth
previously acquired. 1t will displace
error and fill his soul with new and fresh
truth. 1t will enlarge his spiritual ca
pacities, give him broader views OF GODS

GUS susceptibilities of his soul, strength

love for both. 1t will thus promote his

truth of the complete triumph OF good
over evil is so grand, SO captivating, SO
noble. that it tends to uplift man above

nearer to God.

TOPICS OF The DAY.

The exhibit made by the Minister
OF Finance of the financial condition
Of the Government is deserving
praise for its thorough honesty. II
may be very av kward, however, to
reconcile the exhibit under consider
ion with the statements which
have appeared from time to time
from his department. The fact is
that this "best government the isl
auds ever had" has been spending
80 thousand dollars month more
than its revenues, and what it could
borrow besides. The Minister is
misleading when he says that the
crisis has passed when every body who
has any Knowledge of public iuances
knows that from this time on to the
18th OF December is the period
when the strain upon the Treasury
is p4rticu arly felt. II must be APP
parent TO casual observer that a
& ,vernment that is not OF, aud by,
the people cannot expect sym
pathetic response from tax payers
when in need. What is now given
is grudgingly given. To be consist
ent, the government by nineteen

THE REGISTRATION ACT.

IL may be sincerely hoped that the
Registration Act now before the
Legislature will be passed and be.
come law. The act was introduced
in 1892 by Mr.. Paul Neumsnp, if we
remember rightly, and it met the
opposition OF the Hawaiians who
under some misunderstanding of the
principles OF registration took an
intense dislike to the bill. This feel
ing was finally overcome and the act
was passed with many amendments
Of which some were benef ial and
others were not. The bill was tn
sent from the Legislature to the
Cabinet for the Queens aignature,
but somehow or other after the sig
nature was obtained the bill dsap
peared and was never heard OF again.
The bill is suppo ed to be in the
best interests of the country. We
state briefly some OF the points in
favor of the Act:
l. 1t practically establishes
permanent census OF all classes Of
residents in the Hawaiian Islands,
which should be, if properly carried
out, absolutely accurate, not only as
regards the permanent population,
but OF transient residents whose
movements would be recorded.
2. 1t will show the exact proper
ton of the distribution OF labor, in
dustrial, commercial and other pur
suits among the cosmopolitan popu
lation, and will materially assist in
preventing-if not absolutely doing
so-Asiatics from leaving their per-
mitted fields of labor to engage in
mechanical and commercial pursuits
injurious to the interests of the
American and European popul alton.
g. 1t can be made useful in est alb
fishing on a permanent basis what is
very much needed here--a complete
registration of births, deaths and
marriage and in tracing missing
friends, heirs, etc.
A. 1t can be made useful for cleo
toral purposes.
S. 1t will be OF material assist
ance to the cause of good govern
ment in keeping track of criminal
or dangerous classes.

experiment, it would in its result to
be a very economical measure, as the
staff sufficient to carry out its pro-

say that to man on the fence it
has that complexion. The item was

by the President aud his Cabinet,
was defended by the Ministry and
refused in spite OF them. But, don't
you know, that want OF confidence"
is a monarchical IDA. The "dear

ring to it.
