racing, but not of the jockeying va

thing is a race where one horse is

a set of men to pick up a sucker"
and get him to bet on a horse they
know can not win, when their mon
ey is placed just opposite to their
advice. If racing in this city is to
be carried on on this line, we shall
advise all men to give the race track

SYSTHESIS OF FAITH.

In the Christian confession the centripetal
and centrifugal forces need to he held in
exact balance. Christianity has much in
its truth and life which is permanent; but
it is at the same time a religion OF
progress. Some religions have been short
lived because they lacked the staying quail
ties. while others have far outlived their
usefulness because they are so anchored to
the past as to be unable to adjust them
selves to a new age or to appropriate the
new forces existing about them. The Cos
pel of Jesus, unlike these, has great past,
to the precious things of which 1t con-
stantly cleaves, and a still greater future
towards which 1t is perpetually reach
ing forward. Just in the measure that
the forms of Christianity become corrupt
they lose this admirable balance and swing to
one side or the other. The sects which are
today making the best success in the world
are those that face the future as well as the
past. They feel after and find the grand
pillars of truth set up by prophets and apos-
Ties and martyrs, while at the some time
tkey look ahead for the consummation OF
the evangelical work in the world. The
mission bands flying to the ends Of the earth
are from churches which cherish and hold
firmly by the faith once delivered to the
saints. The conservatism which clings to
what Is enduring in the past is exactly BAL
anced by the optimism and spirit OF enter
prise which so forth with the sharp. sickle
to reap the harvest of the whole world.
