DR.. Abbott was born in Roxbury, now
part of Boston, in 1885. He became a
lawyer and practiced his profession for
two years, then studied theology and
became a preacher in the Congrega-
tional Church. He was pastor of a
church in Terre Haute for five years,
and then becoming discouraged he re-
tired from the ministry for number
of years. Returning to it he labored for
some time as pastor and as a writer
for religious and ethical works, and in
1887, upon the death of DR.. Beecher,
he was chosen for the Plymouth pulpit.
His work there is well known.

TO ABOLISH THE FAT JOBS.
Recommendations Of the Committee Of
Senators.
Legislative Expenses Can, They Say,
be Reduced q Thousand
Dollars Day.

The San Francisco Chronicle" has
managed to get a copy of the report
that is to be made to the Legislature
by Senators Wilmington, SeaweH and
Franck ON the reduction of expendi-
lures by that body, some brief refer
ences to which have been made. The
main features of the document go to
q recommendation that the number OF
the employees of the Legislature and
their per diem be so reduced that the
State will save 81 900 a day; also the
recommendation of new forms of print
ing that will materially reduce the
cost from the ST. sos 63, which was
expended during the last session OF
SIXTY days. The report says:
THE pay of officers and attaches Is
greater than that of most other leg
islativa bodies and should be reduced.
The positions and places are too nu-
merous. From reliable information
gathered through statistics furnished,
we find that California had a greater
number of attaches by from 4O to HUI
per cent. during the last session OF the
Legislature than other like bodies OF
the United States, while the governing
bodies in foreign countries in each In
stance, except France, pay a much less
per diem to their employees.
I'm recommending a reduction of the
number of employees, as well as the per
diem paid, we have estimated a saving
to the State of at least 81, 900 per day.
We submit a bill herewith that we be-
leve should become a law. Notable
changes made therein are the combln-
ing of the duties of enrolling and en-
crossing clerks. AS there is but little
work in this office until the thirtieth
day of the session we recommend that
the assistant clerks be not elected un-
til that time.
"The number of porters is reduced, as
the care of the building is under the
direction of the Secretary of State and
porters are only needed for the care of
the Senate and Assembly chambers
and committee rooms. The messengers
to committees are not necessary, as the
Sergeant Arms of the respective
houses should perform the duties here
tofore assigned to committee mesSen-
gers. 1t has been demonstrated that a
saving of time and labor would be made
by the employment of stenographers
and typcwriters, and we suggest that
they be added to the list Of attaches.
"At the thirty-firs session of the Leg
islature there were employed 322 per-
SINS of both houses at a cost TO the
State of S1,603 per day as follows:
One hundred and seventy employees,
etc, in Senate, at a cost Of Sto5 per
day; 152 employees, etc, in Assembly,
at a cost of SS1S per day.
In recommending those that we be-
lieve necessary we have reduced the
number two-th thirds, and the cost thereof
in a like manner. The following list Of
attaches we consider all that are re-
quired for the transaction of business
except in extreme cases, which we have
provided for by the bill accompanying
this report"

EDITOR CLARION II was much gratified
by the reference made in your editorial col
umns to the series of lectures given in Ply
mouth church on the "Bible as Literature,
by DR.. Lyman Abbott Not because of the
meager information conveyed in the brief
extracts but because 1t is new and praise
worthy departure in the newspaper to give
attention and space to the discussion Of such
questions. The people are interested in these
themes, and could with profit to themselves
ard others, stand more oft; but unfortunate
~ all such discussions are confined to our
high-priced monthlies and other standard
periodicals which very rarely make their
appearance in the average home.
Dr.. Abbott is one of the ablest scholars
and most esteemed christians in the orthodox
communion. He is to congregationalism
what Dean Stanley and Matthew Arnold
were, and Canon Farrar and Heber New ton
are to the Episcopal church; what DR.. Lori
mer and Prot 10y are TO the Baptist COM
munion, and what Drs. Briggs and Barrows
are to Presbyterianism. Prof 10y has been
for the past twenty years, while in fellowship
with the Baptist communion, teaching in
Harvard College, the views of the so.called
higher Criticism" /. e., the Bible from a
rational standpoint based upon the ripest
scholarships of Germany and England.
Rabbi Hrsch, the most liberal Reform Jew
in this country as Professor Of Hebrew Lit
ersture is today teaching the same views in
the new Chicago University. Prof Paul

is superfluous to add that the presidents OF
our leading universities would not occupy
their positions were they not abreast with
the same ripe scholarship. Our wisest think
ers are coming to see that if the Bible is to
retain its hold upon the minds and hearts OF
the people, it must be by our bravely taking
it for what it is-as literature pure and sim
pie, written and inspired In no way different
from other literature, and while recognizing
It's many scientific inaccuracies and errors,
they are endeavoring to point out its beauty,
value and religious helpfulness as literature.
With rational view of the bible entrenched
in our minds, we can take up the study OF
standard author without the fear of gong
into religious spasms over every statement
that does not conform to our traditional ideas.
Nay, we can 60 further, and study even sci
entifc evolution without losing or lowering
our faith in God and man. The above schol-
ars so far as / have been able to interpret
their writings in our standard periodicals.
are believers in a theory of evolution which
makes unnecessary the miracle of special
creation, and regard as beautiful myth
common to other races and religions, the
stories of creation contained in Genesis,
chapters and 2. The unity of all life from
monad to man as announced by Emerson,
crudely stated by Darwin, amply reviewed
and correctly restated by Huxley, Tyndal',
Wallace, and others, and put into form as
American literature by John Fiske, never
had as many believers within the orthodox
communion as it has today. Once learn
through our daily press which goes into every
home, what our ablest scholars are thinking
and saying on these high themes. and no
churchman with mere pooh, pooh, and
wave of his hand, can sweep away from our
minds the finest results Of modern scholar
ship.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, DEC. 7TH, 1896.
The Congressional mill began opera
tions today, but If the other mills that
have lately started their machinery do
not do more to bring about good times
than this session of Congress Is likely
from any present indications to do' we
shall not have good times for sometime
to come. President Cleveland's message
is interesting enough in its way, and If
he had party behind him able to con-
troll legislation, some of his recommen.
dations might have attracted wide at
tention, but as he is virtually playing a
lone hand very little interest is express
ed in the message with its seventeen
thousand words. One Senator ocular
" remarked of it; "Clevelana didn't
write that message for the fifty-fourth
Congress, but for posterity and history;
perhaps they will give his ideas the at
tention that Congress denies them, but
I have my doubts" If che tendency to
increase the length of the Presidents
messages to Congress is kept up, it will
soon be in order to do away with read
ing them in the Senate and House
Many think it already in order. The
Senators and Representatives all have
printed copies of the message, placed in
their hands before the reading begins,
80 that the reading is nothing more than
a perfunctory formality at best.
