At the Third Congregational Church
Rev. William RAIDER preached last even

from Ephesians iv:24. He said:
"There has always been new man. He
has been the best man of his times, who
He has been the pioneer of history, the
leader Of. thought and the inspiration Of
great action. Man is finding himself, and
in finding himself is discovering God, i'm
mortality and the race consciousness.
Milton exclaimed, Myself am He'll!
s'The new man may or may not believe In
the new woman. She has not monopoly
of him.. He may or may not accept the
doctrines of the new womanhood. He
will be gentleman, the most misunder-
stood man in American society. Conven-
tionalism without conscience has robbed
this gracious word of its meaning. he will
be useful rather than ornamental. Greece
believed in beauty, America in the useful.
The new man will not be the incarnation
of well dressed laziness.
ssIn the pew man character will be cul-
ture and commonssense the social certifi-
cate. The most dangerous sham is the
man who has learning without wisdom
and culture without character. The no.
BILE man is always the good man.
sHe will not be an improvement, but q
creation. God does not improve people,
but creates them anew. The molds of
the immortal characters are broken. The
new man is to be broken il righteousness
and true holiness. Christianity is q crea-
tive force and the new man is to be Chris
tian. With his advent will appear the
new politics and the new Jerusalem.
Before we see the golden age we shall
see the golden man. He shall anticipate
the new America. The duty of every man
is to get out OF his old self into the new
mannood created in righteousness. Every
man may be new man if he will.p

Colonial Legal Tender Laws.

I'VE have seen how capric'ous we're
the tender laws of the colonial period.
Virginia, for example, varied her prac
tice in the folio wing manner:
1883-Gold aud silver the only legal
tender.
1639-Tobacco the only legal tender.
1665-Tobscco, silver and wheat
equally legal tender at fixed rates.
1666-Peas, Indian corn, barley, oats,
and wound silk added to the preceding
articles as legal tender at fixed rates.
.1T27-Tobacco notes legal tender for
tobacco debts within the warehouse
district, but not elsewhere.
1730-Tobacco notes the sole legal
tender for tobacco debts in the ware
house district.
1866 Silver legal tender for tobacco
debts at a fixed rate. Maryland like
wise had several varieties Of legal ten
der, including this:
1753-Inspected tobacco legal tender
for debts at one fourth higher ratei
than uninspected.-Horac White IL
