hind the establishment Of the itinerary
system among the pastors of the Method
ist church? Was 1t not to combat this
self same spirit of worldliness, to resist
the upgrowth, in new congregations of
that complacent feeling of sefishness,
consequent upon increased size and
wealth, which so often blinds the eyes of
its possessor to the needs of others? If 1t
be conceded that each congregation is a
law unto itself. in the sense in which
each family is generally so regarded,
then it follows that that congrega-
tion ought to exercise the right TO
retain or dismiss its pastor at will. But
does not this identical idea have a ten
dency TO transform that congregation, to
some extent, into u close corporation, a
kind of spiritual club as it We're. with re-
stricted benefits and narrowed moral re-
sponsibil!ty? We understand these to be
the reasons why the itinerary system was
originally established Have those rea-
sons lost force during the century which
has intervened? Is there not, even at this
late day. something in the commission of
the Methodist pastor which puts him in a
position of independence from the moral
localisms of his charge; something that
enables him to address himself to the live
work of his calling without fear lest plain
speaking cause a drop in pew rent and
letter of dismissal from displeased trus-
tees? Why are many Protestant churches
like beads dropped from the string? Is II
not because they have no strong link of
union, one with another. and no central
authority adequate to the bending of local
congregations to common purpose?
To one who endeavors to look upon these
problema without bias, 1t seems sometimes
as IL there were grave. danger lest the
spiritual energy of our modern churches
were slowly succumbing to the sickness
and sloth of temporal success. Perhaps it
Is the radicalism of youth which inclines
us TO favor imperialistc measures of con-
gregatiOnal government; but that radical
ism Is at least based on an honest desire
for the increased usefulness of religious
activity in ameliorating the hard condi-
tons of contemporary life. 1t occurs to
u.s. at tlmes-maybe through mistaken
view of things-that there is getting to he
more concern, among our Protestant
churches, for the well-clad forty who are
comfortably saved than there is for the
ragged sixty who know Christianity only
as thing which finds them and leaves
them in squalor and growing want We
look to the church to teach the fine truth
of n real democracy and do we not see It,
instead, bending its knee and dofing its
hat to the wealth and the aristocracy of
the day? If the time limit in the itinerary
system in vogue in the Methodist church
will tend, in ever so slight a degree to re-
call the Protestant world to its duty to-
ward the meek, the poor, and the unfortu-
nate; IL II will cause 1t, in ever so small a
measure, to add vitality and pertinency
to Its ministrations among the lost
sheep we should view its abolition with
extreme regret.

reception by Ii Hung Chang in China
when he was making journey around
the world The viceroy received him
with ostentatious cordiality. and
startled him by saying pompously:
"We are the two greatest men in the
world. | am one of them. You are the
other. You put down the American re-
bellion. ! put down the Taepping re-
bellion. 1t IL well that we have met"
Ii Hung Chang softly stroked his
hands and smiled with conscious pride
as he greeted his distinguished Amer
lean visitor, He was generous enough
to divide honors with his guest, but his
words and manner denoted sympathetic
appreciation of the fact that 1t was a
supreme moment In human history
when the genius of the east and the
genius of the west met in peace and
good will. What the vlceroy did not
comprehend was his visitors character
as the most modest and unassuming of
men. The two generals could hardly
have been more unlike If they had been
born on different planets.

GRANTS MODESTY.
Incidents of Ills Rece ption and One Given
by III Hung Chang

From the Youths Companion.
one of the most arduous duties i'm
posed upon General Grant after his re-
tirement from the presidency was that
of attendance upon public receptions at
which he was expected to shake hands
with thousands of people. One of these
receptions took place In the legislative
halls of the capitol at Albany, where he
was accompanied by the governor OF
the state and other officials. Hour after
hour the line of eager. curious faces
passed before the great, silent soldier.
The sightseers jostled against one am
other. and pressed forward lmpatiently
for their turn in shaking his outstretch-
ed hand and peering into his lmpasslve
face.
A wearisome ceremonial to those who
stood in line and crept up inch by inch
to the place of honor, it was intoler-
ably fatiguing to the general with his
strained arm and pallid, expressonless
face At last the curiosity OF the throng
seemed to have been satisfied. The
crowds had thinned out. The files We're
broken and feebly recruited with strng-
glers. General Grant, who had patient
ly kept his place for many hours, turned
aside to the governor with an air of
hesitation and doubt.
"Do you not think" he asked. that
they mrst be very tired by this time,
and glad to have chance to rest them
selves?"
1t was q simple Illustration or the
characteristic modesty of the man. He
had stood there until he was fairly
faint from fatigue, exposing himself to
vigorous attack from every fresh pair
of arms. but he was not conscious of
his own discomfort. His only thought
was that the sightseers must be very
tired, and that 1t would be mercy
to them to bring the reception to close.
Markedly different Is the story which

OUR CLEAN JUDICIARY.
Trio of Jurists That Are Conspicuous in
Many Ways.

From the Carbonate Anthracite.
Judge Gunster is nearing the end Of
his first term on the bench. He is a
ripe scholar outside Of the law, and in
his profession a devoted student and
conscientious judge. In the ranks Of
the state judiciary he has earned a
place at the head Of the list, and when
the litigation, upon which he passed,
has been taken to the highest judicial
tribunal of the state, he has rarely been
reversed. In an eX cathedra capacity,
his splendid citizenship and manly in
tegrity eXemplify the most genuine type
of American manhood, and the people
of Lackawanna may we'll feel proud
that such u man as he sits in judg-
ment on questions requiring judicial adj
justment.
Judge Archibald is in the beginning
of his second term on the bench. The
fact of his return to the bench, which
he had dignified and adorned by his
ability and department, is of itself a
high commentary on his judicial merits
and individual character. He, too. has
found his way to the head of the ju-
dietary of the state, and has been prom
inently and deservedly mentioned for a
seat on the supreme bench. The MEM
bers of the bar in Lackawanna and
Luzerne counties highly respect his
eminent ability, and there is no doubt
that he will some day take his place
among our supreme judges. He is an
able scholar, a clean and upright cit
izen, and in the excellence of his char
acter, is fittingly described in the words
of Hamlet:
Rightly to be great,
Is not to stir without argument
Bus greatly to find quarrel in straw
When honor's at the stake.
Judge Edwards is the youngest mem-
ber of our judicial triumvirate; but
while youthful as a judge, he is we'll
matured as a scholar, a lawyer and a
man. He ascended the bench through
a brilliant legal career, and today is the
promise of one of the leading judges
of the country. Judge Edwards has
wealth of learning, and a versatility
of literary accomplishments that ara
so happily blended as to make him a
signal exception among the judiciary
of the state. An able advocate, a keen
pleader, and an expeditions reasoner
are qualities in which he excelled be-
fore ascending the bench, and when to
these are added a we'll balanced and
judicial mind, we believe it is not too
much to say that in Judge Edwards
Lackawanna county has the promise,of
a famous Judge, and the profession OF
the law one of its most brilliant expo
nents. With a judiciary of this kind
we can we'll say that the youngest coun-
ty in the state has reason to be proud OF
her judiciary, and we trust it shall
never fall below its present high stand .
ard, and always deport itself so that
it will add strength to the remark, THE
bench at least must be kept clean"
