ministers to us, and as we really are
different, it is true; yet much more
alike than we are accustomed to think.
The attitude. now defnitively taken
by the Episcopal church, through the
nearly unanimous voice of it's Bishops
and its press, is, that other Protestant
real churches; and that other Protes-
tant ministers are $50 called clergymen,"
but not real clergymen. This is the doc
trine and practice of caste in religion.
1t is Brahminism masquerading as
Christianity.
In the multitude of counsellors
there is safety. But they must be coun-
sellors, not corruptors. The seclusion
of jurymen until their verdict is made
up and rendered. testifies to the danger
of communication. The solemn and
impartial trial of cause in court is SUBJ
jected to sensible strain by the presence
of a crowd of spectators overwhelmingly
inclined to one side. The reporters are
probably not far astray when they speak
of the delegates of convention being
"stampeded" by the tumultuous demon
strations of the throng in attendance. A
crowd can hypnotize individuals, as indi-
viduals sometimes hypnotize crowd.
We have watched with interest the
experiment of having topics with Script
ure references prepared beforehand and
published, for use in the Young Peoples
Meetings and the prayer meetings, the
same as in the Sunday school. Our con-
clusion is, that it is not only an improve
ment on the old impromptu method but
that it greatly widens the sphere of in.
terest and usefulness of these meetings.
1t makes general participation practica.
BILE and secures it. Almost every one
can find something to say or something
pertinent to recite. on topic announced;
only the few who are we'll furnished or
the other few who have no fear before
their eyes, can speak without reflection
or preparation.

THE COMMON PROBLEM OF EUROPE
AND AMERICA.
BY SINGLETON AYREs.

The growing sentiment against i'm
migration in this country causes the
London Spectator some alarm. at is
more than probable" says the Spec
tator, ''that within twenty years immi-
grafton as we now know it, will be
prohibited all over the world, and
that Great Britain, Germany and Italy
will be compelled to meet the problem
of growing populations without any
relief from departures to other eli
mates,-a change which will almost
compel some grand alteration in the
social systems OF Europe"
The change the Spectator foresees
is one that has troubled many obser-
vers of the political and social tenden-
cies of the times from Malthus to the
present day. Possibly the matter
may regulate itself, as in France,
where the population has practically
been stationary for many years, but
at present the population continues to
increase in almost every country of
Europe, and notably in those from
which comes the greatest numbers of
immigrants to the New World. Ger
many, as is we'll known, and likewise
Italy, are not desirous that their pop
ulation should be reduced by immi-
grafton, and for the excellent reason
that with large standing armies it is
necessary to have large industrial
army as base of supplies.
Moreover it is not the old, the sick
nor enfeebled that swell the steadily
rising tide of immigration from the
Old World to the New, but it is the
young and vigorous, and frequently
those with a small capital who are
able to seek homes and new chances
of success in other climes.
To the philanthropist the immigra-
tion question may not be a difficult
one but, in practical politics few ques-
tions are more perplexing. Neither of
the great parties in the United States
has heretofore cared particularly to
incur the hostility of the foreign ele-
ment in our population by taking a de-
cided stand on the question. Yet the
pressure of hard times is reforming
party lines, and party expediency may
yet be invoked to do the very thing it
has heretofore not carei to do, and
in one notable instance it has already
done so. 1t is this aspect of the ques-
tion that troubles European think
ers, and undoubtedly with good rea-
son. The same thing menaces Eu-
rope in different way, in returning
to high protective policy, even ex-
elusive of the question of immigra-
ton.

THE experience Of the past week has
put the young people of our Church
no; has found them-in position that
removes all apprehension that rival to
the General Convention, with divisive
and demoralizing influences. was rising
in our Zion. Here we must beg the IA
vor of trying our hand at the making of
a distinction. 1t is one thing to intend
independency of our older organizations
and of our principal one; it is different
thing to happen into this attitude with
out any such intention. From the be.
ginning until now we never even thought
that our young people were capable of
so disloyal aud disrupting a purpose.
We have at times been led to some fear
that habit of working separately, un-
der different officers, and in different
lines, might surprise them into posi-
tion they did not wish. purpose or fore
see. A quite occasional remark such as:
THAT (the Convention) is your affair; it
does not concern u.s." quite occasional
boast; "We will show you how to do it,"
might, we had feared, be more represen-
tative than we could wish.
We left Jersey City at noon Friday
with the conviction thoroughly in
wrought that such flippant remarks are
too rare to merit attention, and that they
malign the organization. Any such ut
terance at Jersey City would have
evoked storm of indignant protest;
even the bugle blast would have been a
summons to put him out" The Presi-
dents address, the resolutions, the fire.
quent incidental exclamations, the
avowed purpose to help. the "applauding
in the right place"-all attest that the
General Convention, which claims the
loyal devotion of us all. has no more re-
liable friends and helpers than assem-
bled in Jersey City on Wednesday of
the past week. They see the situation
and they will not be tempted into any
any form or degree of secession, incip-
lent or actual.-EditoriaI, Christian
Leader.

The Young Peoples Christian
Union occupies the same relative po-
sition in the Uniyersalist Church that
the Epworth League does in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. 1t was
organized by those who felt that the
spiritual interests of our Universalist
youth were being neglected under
the old order of denominational life.
1t has justified the hopes of those
who have watched over its growth. 1t
has met with a success beyond the
rational hope of those who started it
on its career. 1t has silenced those
who could not or would not believe
that Universalism is consistent with
fervor and piety. The seventh an
nual National Convention of the
Young Peoples Christian Union has
just adjourned at Jersey City, N. j.

No sadder shipwreck has taken
place in recent years than that of the
Drummond Castle, one of the famous
Castle liners. sailing between the Cape
and Southampton. She had made the
voyage and was near Ushant-almost
home-when, on the 10th of last month,
she struck a rock. shivered for three
minutes, swung as on a pivot, and
plunged head down into eighteen faith
o ms of water, carrying over 240 men,
women, and children to a sudden and
restless grave. Only three men escaped.
The pity Of it all! What call it makes
on us to remember those sin peril on
the sea-! Every life that is lost leaves
sad gap.in some home and in many
heart.

Two things are required in leader.
He should have the ability to lead: he
should be able to inspire confidence that
he has the ability to lead. In all great
leaders these two gifts coincide.
Enthusiasm is not wisdom. En-
thusiasm is not substitute for wisdom.
Enthusiasm may be in inverse ratio to
wisdom. The destination of enthusiasm
without wisdom is the ditch. Wisdom
is the principal thing"
The American capacity of enthusi-
asm is immense. Note the enthusiasm
reported from the National Educational
Association at Buffalo; from the Nat
ional Democratic Convention in Chi
cago; from the National Christian En-
deavor Convention in Washington; from
the National Young Peoples Christian
Union Convention in Jersey City,-all
in one and the same week.
What a magnificent opportunity
this diffused and spontaneous enthusi-
asm of our people offers to wise and
competent leadership! 1t shows abun-
dant life and power. What it requires
is direction. Prophets. apostles, states
men, commanders, this is your home
and this is your country!
"A small part of the ingenuity and
the energy lavished on the pursuit of our
own ends in our own way would more
than suffice for attaining the divine ends
in the divine way. So costly is obdur-
acy.
-"But l do not recognize any dis
tinction between my own ends and the
divine ends. My own ends are the di-
vine ends" Are they? Then you find
the way of life easy, its burdens light, its
crosses changed to crowns. just men
and angels congratulate you.
The true ends of our life are indeed
the ends God has chosen for US; and the
right way of seeking those ends is the
appointed way. To believe that is the
greatest act of faith; to conform to it is
pure and unde6led religion.
To the strong all tasks are easy. One
day you go through prodigious amount
of work and scarcely take note of it; an
other day half as much to be done looms
before you like a mountain. II is the
difference between a full store of energy
and depleted stock.
Because vitality, vigor, strength are

portunity, and voted to turn over all
its resources for the coming year
above the cost of the Southern Mis-.
sion toward the fund for the educa-
ton of ministers. The Union has
decreed that if it can prevent it there
shall be no falling off in the support
which the Universalist Church will
give to those who wish to enter the
ranks of its ministry.
Outside the circle of special inter
ests connected with the extension of
Unive1salism the Convention was
frank in its sympathy for the advance
of philanthropic and moral reforms.
OF course there were the usual resolu-
tions, which count for much or little,
according to ones point of view.
But beyond these resolutions, in the
substance of the addresses on Ap-
piled Christianity and associated
subjects, and in the sentiments most
heartily applauded, it was apparent
that the young people were aggres-
sive in their ideas of the social obliga-
tions of the Christian Church. Such
topics as the relations of the church
to city life, to the criminal classes,
and to the enforcement of law, were
treated with frankness, and obtained
the sympathetic hearing of the Con-
vention.
The readers of the Independent
will care little for much in the rec
ords of the Convention which is dear
to Universalists. Suffice it that null
titude of our youth have felt the in
fuence of this spiritual awakening
that has done 80 much toward quick
ening the spiritual life of Protestant
Christendom. They have already
had marked influence upon our de-
nomination, and are bound to WELD
far greater influence. They have
increased the faith of our whole
church. They have just met in
their seventh annual National Con-
vention, filled with great zeal to
make their cause greater power for
righteousness. This they will GER
tainly do; they are our hope for the
future. In them, in their great faith
and prophetic spirit, we are beginning
a new chapter in orr RELIGIOUS history.
There is an infusion of fresh thought
and inspiring hope. So far their
presence has been an unmixed bless
ing. So long as they go forth and
as our beloved church goes forth with
them in the spirit of the Convention
just closed, we shall be blessed, and
shall increase our strength for the
Christian service to which we are
called.-Ne,U York Independent.

OH, HOW SHE BLEW
Mr.. James SawiuSt Scattered ALI
Over the Country.
THEN CAME A COLD WAVE
Snow Is Piling Up In the Mount
aims Very Rapidly-The Occur
d'Alene Branch Is Still
Snowbound.

Missoula. Jan. 2.-As returns come in
from the country, IL becomes evident
that the windstorm of Tuesday night
was one of unusual severity. The
breezes raised havoc all around and in
the valley below town numerous
small buildings were tumbled about.
On Esau James ranch small house
was scattered all over a big field. In
the new residence being erected by
Mr.. James were several loads of saw
dust, which had been hauled in for
use in the building but yesterday
1t is scattered all along the country
between the James ranch and Mis-
soula.
The windstorm was followed sud-
denly by q cold wave and about two
inches of snow have fallen. The Their
mometer ranged close to zero and the
stiff breeze that came down the Black
foot canyon made the weather ex-
tremely disagreeable to-day. Loggers
are happy over the snowfall and the
ranchmen expect a liberal supply OF
water next season. The snow is piling
up in the mountains at a surprising
rate and is said to be packing solidly.
The Occur d'Alene branch is still
snowbound. The wires are down and
the blocked trains had not been To-
Gated at a late hour tonight. This
condition of affairs recalls the hard
season of 1898 and "a and old railroad
ers have been relating the exciting in
cidents of the fight with the snow that
winter. Saltese Station is not yet
buried as deep as IL was that year. but
it bids fair to be deeper before the win
ter ends. That was the season when
the rotary jumped the rails near the
station and kept on cutting into the
bank of snow until the whirling blades
cut into a corner of the depot. Then IL
waS that the discovery was made that
the pillow was OF the track.
One of the hardest experiences in the
history of the branch was that of Con-
ductor Joe Bradley, whose train was
lost for five days. During all those
five days and the nights between, Joe
kept his gang of shovelers at work. He
had no rotary but two heavy hogs
were pulling his train. By running
back to Saltese he secured coal and
provisions to keep the work going
The shovelers would clear the rails for
half a mile ahead of the train and then
the engines would take a run at the
snow. The men with the shovels were
given hot coffee and meat at frequent
intervals and worked without sleeping
for 120 hours. 1t was a case of neces-
sity. The supply of provisions was
very small and the passengers and
trainmen would have been lost had not
the work been pushed so heroically.
The last Occur d'Alene train was
located this afternoon, the wires hav-
ing been repaired. The engine of the
train was off the track three miles this
side of Saltese and all efforts to back
were unsuccessful. The train is stalled
there. An engine and crew have been
sent after ii and will probably return
some time tonight.
