TIE Home Mission
Inc FresDyterlan airy Board of the Pres
fiasoo in New byterians is over 800
1ofK' 600 in debt. The
:. bright thought occurred to the mana
gers to hold big rally in Carnegie Mu-
sic Hall, New York, Tuesday evening,
March 3, and secure President Cleve-
land to preside. The expectation was
that with an enthusiastic meeting held
under such circumstances and graced
by the presence of the Chief Execu-
tive of the Nation, very large collection
would be secured. The President came
on from Washington and was the pre-
siding officer OF the evening, making an
acceptable address on Home Missions.
Then what happened? Why, three or
four clerical speakers followed and &C.
cupied the time until II o'clock. when
hundreds left the hall and the great OPP
portunity was lost. When at last the
collection was taken it amounted to only
a trifle over $1,000 Never was there
such a stupid failure. The Presbyterian
Missionary Board should discipline those
ministers for their idiotic obstruction of
the purpose of the great gathering.

THERE is an ugly fly
Rev. DR.. Hubert in the precious ONT.
as Snylock' ment of Oak Park fra.
ternity, of which such fine illustration
was given at the banquet celebrating
the twenty-fifth anniversary of Unity
Church. The name of the fly is HUI
bert. This is the DIR. Hubert who re,
fused to sit at the banquet with his fell
low orthodox ministers on conscientious
grounds. He could not recognize Uni
versalists even to this extent. Poor DIR.
Hubert He is recognized as the sue.
cessor in modern times of Shylock as
described by Shakespeare. DIR. HUI
bert's position" remarks Roswell M.
Field in the Evening Post, sis that as
defender of the Christian system he can
not break bread with the members OF
Universalist denomination. Why, that
was Shylock's stand when he said: i
will buy with you, sell with you, talk
with you, walk with you, and so follow
ing, but l will not eat with you, drink
with you nor pray with YOU DIR. HUI
bert must be gratified that his position
is indicated by so able and couscien
tious gentleman as Shylock."

WHAT brought Italy
Ane A"ati"n D' into Abysslnla where
aster in Abysslnla' her army has just now
suffered so remarkable a defeat at the
hands of the warriors of the Land of
Mixtures"-a Abyssinia is called-a dis
aster which has overthrown the Italian
Cabinet and caused mobs to rise in Rome
and other cities of the kingdom? The
greed of European powers and their
anxiety to preserve treaty rights in the
Dark Continent. What is the result to
suffering Italy? Let the New York
Tribune answer: 1.-THE utter selfishness
of the Great Powers was never more
strikingly shown than in this crisis.
Italy had been impoverishing herself
and shedding her very hearts blood for
the sake of her allies. And now, in her
dire distress. those allies pass by on the
other side, offering her not even their
sympathy. Their only message is the
brutal remark that she is beaten and
ruined, and may as we'll own up to it.
Tomorrow they will be as ready to prey
upon Abf anu uS5POA hCA d5 tAog nave
hitherto been to use her for their own
ends. No wonder King Humbert resents
their so called advice, and resolves to
stand or fall on his own chosen ground.
But what pity it is that he will not at
once sever the fatal bonds that bind
him to his cynical and self-seeking allies,
and raise the standard of Italy for Ital-
ians and for Italian interests Then he
might restore prosperity and prestige,
and make his Kingdom once more
worthy of its old renown."
