THE SILVER WAVE.
Tho New Y, RI World says Even Thr'
Stale IL In Danger.


Stale Is In Danger.
New York. June 29.-The Herald
which is one of the staunchest Eastern
goldite organs, acknowledges that the
Inroads of the silver sentiment through
out New York state has been SO great
that 1t is doubtful II the old parties can
carry some of their strongest counties
in November on gold platform. II
adds:
"In many of the counties there is no
actual organization Of the friends OF
free silver. Organization and an active
free silver campaign would make many
of the strongest Republican counties
in the state doubtful in November.
Even without organization the free sill
yer farmers knocked sound money off
of its feet in many places in this state
in the recent Democratic primaries.
"Here are few instances; They in
structed for free silver in the county Of
Lewis and the only ground on which
it WAS possible for Schraub. the DemI-
cratic leader of the county, to go TO Chi
cago as delegate was that he was IL
free silver man at home and gold
standard man at Saratoga.
1.-The free silver forces ran away with
the sound money men in Gcnesee coun-
ty, which is the home of Smiling Bob
| Maxwell, leader of the Cleveland Dem
ocracy in Western New York. On n
test they defeated the sound money
friends of Roswell P. Flower in the
| convention in the Second Assembly dis
trict of jefferson county. and could
have carried free silver instructions in
both districts had they been organ
lied
"Unless there is change in senii-
ment free silver will control the organ
ization in both parties in st. Lowrence
county this fall. Thomas Spratt, one
of the leaders, is only able to hold his
place in Democracy by masqueradng
as a free silver man at home. though in
Saratoga he wore a sound money
mask. He is delegate to Chicago.
"Free silver Democrats TO Onandago
and Monroe counties were in control
Of these delegations to Saratoga. They
! ,ransnd- .-11aia tim far tho freo coin
age Of silver at ratio of 16 to 1 as a
compromise.
There are many more instances of
the same sort all over the state.
"The reports printed show that 1t Is
the Republicans, rather than the Dem
acrats, who should be alarmed.
THE situation is like mountain for
est in August-ready for the match
The Republican leaders are in ignor
ance of the actual state of affairs. II
has all come about in three or four
weeks. County Democracy leaders
having become acquainted with it In
their caucuses. are secretly anxious fol-
free silver TO triumph in Chicago. They
think they can shift the tariff issue
and carry the farmers almost solidly
for free silver. In the meantime War
ner Miller. the Mckinley leader in this
state, believes that the state will carry
itself for Mckinley. and. ignorant OF
the discomfort among the farming
classes. is preparing to devote his whole
| time TO driving Platt and his sound
money followers out of the party"

Topic. Christ's Testimony to
tho Holy Spirit.


scRrrruRr READNe.-John xiv. 1920: wi.
Tia
It Is an error TO speak of the Holy
Spirit as If an influence was all that
the name implies. The pronoun it is not
applicable. The Holy Spirit is per-
sonal being, and the masculine pronoun
Him is used by Jesus in referring to
this one whom the Father was to send in
the name of Jesus Himself. The passages
cited in the Scripture reading clear
ly show that the Spirit is sent by the
Father and by Christ jointly, and that
His mission is TO guide the followers Of
Jesus into all truth.
His coming in fullness and to perma-
nently abide in as well as among Gods
people was foretold by the holy prophets
long ages before the advent of the Mes
siah. The time when the law Of God
should be impressed upon mems heads
as well as upon their memories was the
Joyous period hoped and longed for
Some few men and women ct rare in
| tervals were in olden time filed for
short spaces of time with the Spirit, and
| insight into and love Of Gods will was
granted them at such times. But the
great mass Of men seem never to have
possessed this inspiration Of righteous
ness. The ideal toward which the race
was pointed was manhood, filed with
| divine power and affection, freely choos-
ing the ways of holiness. Jesus was the
| first one of the race to attain this goal
and become the perfect man and author
| Of salvation. The same Holy Spirit
| which was given Him beyond all meas
ure He promises 10 impart to all who
| follow Him. The inducement from on
high is the need Of every earnest SOU
seeking God truly.

Tho Secret Of Happiness.

Strange as It may sound, the secret Of
q happy life is only found in self sacri-
fee. Selfishness is not only misery, it is
suicide. "He that seeketh to save his
life shall lose it, and nc that loseth his
life for My sake shall find it," was the
statement Of Christ. No truer words
ever fell on human ear. 1t is the law of
life today. No happier man than Paul
could have been found in his age, yet
he was in perils oft and in privations
continual. The contrast between him
and the Emperor Tiberius Caesar was
marked. Surrounded by unparalleled
luxury on the beautiful island of Capre
he wrote to the Roman senate that he
was Of all men living the most miser-
able. Subordination of the will and af-
fections to the rulcrship of Christ is the
secret of blessedness.
