ing that such steps be taken on the part OF
the United States as would conduce to the
accomplishment Of the end the conference
had in view.
: The President said the conference was
gratifying exhibition Of wide public sentt-
ment In favor Of arbitration. he had read
the resolutions adopted by the conference
and was much pleased with them. In his
messages he had given utterance to his own
views and was glad to have them sustained
by the conference What had been said con-
cernin1 the ties which should bind together
the English-speaking peoples had great fofce,
and It was impossible to overestimate the
potency and beneficial influence Of concerted

hoped the friends Of arbitration would con-
tinue to educate the people along the lines
indicated and said they would have his
cheerful cooperation.

Plans to Consolidate All the Offices in
Greater New York.
Governor Morton's approval of the Great

soidating all the Presidential and other
postofflces in one great Office and to scatter
sub-oflces through the great city when the
law goes into effect. This will probably BIZ
the plan adopted, as 1t has been followed In
the case OF other cities with marked sue

Under this plan the Presidential postof.

will DO abolished, and in their places will
be substituted stations, all branches OF one
great New York Postoff1ce- In addition a
large number Of fourth-class postotfices will
be abolished and sub-stations will be sub
stuffed in their stead.
1t has been estimated on the basis Of la7t
years figures, that the total postal receipts
OF Greater New York will amount to about
IS, 500, ,0u0, nearly twice as much a. those Of
Chicago. New York's share In this amount
Is 72500 900.

DEVOTED SOULS.

No one except their dear Lord and only
Bridegroom can reckon the devoted souls
which in all ages have denied themselves to
human love, that they might the better fol-
low Christ whithersoever he goeth. And no
one can be quite insensible to the tender
purity and spiritual delicacy of certain
sanity faces that have been touched by the
passion of Christ. Nor must it be sup
posed that this is only clustered piety, or
that it can only be found within convent
walls. Most OF us know persons who have
come under VOW to their own souls, and
have taken the solitary road, not that they
might attain to special degree of sanctity,
but that they might render some life service.
So brothers for sisters, 80 sisters for broth
ers, so children for parents, have strength
ened their hearts and remained unwed.
Sometimes their sacri1ce-the last that can
be offered-has been detected and rewarded
by gratitude that ought to know no limits.
Sometimes it may be unsuspected and re-
ceive no return but peevish reproaches.
Gods guerdon, at least, does not tarry, for
His hand has already placed the aureole on
those modest. unconscious heads. and filled
with fragrance those lives Of uncomplain-
ing, unboasfing love.-Rev:John Watson.

WAGES AND DRISK.

The New York Nation, commenting upon,
the labor question and drinking habits of
many workingmen, says:
Improvement In the laborer's condition
Is impossible without cutting down his drink
bills. No social arrangements which man
IAN make can benefit people who get drunk.
No matter what wages you pay drinking
family can be improved thereby. There Is;
no use in providing extra holidays for mem
who use them to get drunk. There Is no use
in cutting down the days labor from ten to ,
eight hours II the two hours gained are
spent in rum hole. There would be no use
In making arbitration compulsory If one Of
the parties was likely to be kept from obey
ing the decision by liquor. There would be |
no use In handing over all the property In /
the world to laboring men If they drink as
they do now. They would soon dissipate It
and add nothing to the store"

wREsTLE WITH THE LORD IN PRAYER.

Some who have been taught from above to
desire greatly the manifestations Of God,
and who wrestle earnestly, perhaps passion
ately, in prayer that their Lord would be
pleased to draw nigh to them and give them
visions of his excellence, would find it to
their inexpressible advantage to cease from
the pursuit Of extraordinary manifestations,
and by faith and purity of heart school
present God, and to abide In blissful inter-
course with him in whom they live and move
and have their being. Let them understand
that what they need is not the accomplish
ment of some change out Of themselves-the
bringing near of something that is afar-but
q purging of their mental vision, the removal
of film that yet too much oeclouds the eye
OF their soul.-George Bowen.

LIFE OF FAITH.

There Is no short cut to the life OF faith,
which is the all-vital condition of a holy and
victorious life. We must have periods Of
lonely meditation and fellowship with God.
That our souls should have their mountains
OF fellowship their valleys of quiet rest be-
meath the shadow of great rock, their
nights beneath the stars, when darkness has
veiled the material and silenced the stir Of
human life, and has opened the view of the
infinite eternal, is as indispensable as that
our bodies should have food. Thus alone
can the sense of Gods presence become the
fixed possession of the soul, enabling 1t to
say repeatedly with the Psalmist. Thou art
near, o God REV. +. B. Meyer

"1S PATIENCE POSSESS YE YOUR SOULS"

1t Is impossible to rush into Gods pres
ence, catch up anything we fancy, and run
off with it. To attempt this will end in
mere delusion and disappointment. Nature
will not unveil her rarest beauty to the
chance tourist. Pictures which are the re-
suit of life of work do not disclose their
secret loveliness to the saunterer down q
gallery. No character can be read at a
glance. And Gods best cannot be ours
apart from patient waiting in His holy pres
ence. The superficial may be put off with
parable, pretty story, but it is not given to
such to know the mysteries of the kingdom
OF heaven.-F. B. Meyer.
