"THE CHRISTIAN IN BUSINESS ,.

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, who has
made himself more famous because of
his comments upon the story of Jonah
and the whale than because he sue
ceeded the late Henry Ward Beecher
as pastor of Plymouth church. Brook
Ign, has been lecturing at Johns Hop
kins university on THE Christian in
Business" 1t was very good lecture
to judge by the reports of it in the
Baltimore papers. He started out with
the proposition that God puts at the
disposal of man the forces of the in
finite and that 1--WE thus grind out
prosperity" He held the doctrine that
that man is not the successful man who
has simply amassed wealth. This
proposition is only true in part. That
man is successful who achieves his aim
in life, whether it be the amassing of
wealth, the attainment of political
honors or the achievement of literary
fame. DIR. Abbott holds that the amass-
ing of wealth merely indicates thrift
and temperance in the man who does it
or in his ancestors. Well, this is a good
deal. The mans ideal may not have
been the highest, but he realized it.
Dr. Abbott closed his lecture with
this proposition:
The industrial problem has it's So
luton in the distribution, not the con-
centration of wealth. AS we have al
ready secured distribution of liberty,
religion and political power. so we
must also secure distribution of money
And the merchants. bankers and manu-
facturers are the ones upon whom God
lays this service
If the industrial problem has it's So
luton in the distribution and not in
the concentration of wealth, it still re-
mains unsolved. Until our ethical
standard is changed the distribution of
wealth win remain with the creators
and possessors of it. To deprive them
of the power to distribute it is to kill
the very energy which creates it. Be-
hind this problem of the creation, con-
centration and distribution of wealth
is the eternal and greater problem of
has been suggested as the best and
most complete solution for it, but it is
no solution at all, although the ten
dency of the times is to make trial of
it. So soon as it had changed condi-
lions the old struggle would begin
again. Those who are today the great
captains of industry would inevitably
become the great captains of socialism.
The man who today finds the struggle

A correspondent sends the following
interesting item to the New York
Press.
I, as an American citizen, would like
to inform those who do not know it
how Uncle Sam got his name. The
nickname, as applied TO the United
States government, is said to have
originated as follows: Samuel Wilson,
commonly called Uncle Sam was a
government inspector of beef and pork
at Troy, n. Y, about 1872. A contractor
named Ebert Anderson purchased
quantity of provisions. and the barrels
were marked "E. A." Anderson's mi
tails, and ~. S. for the United States.
The latter initials were not familiar
to Wilson's workingmen, who inquired
what they meant. A facetious fellow
answered, - don't know, unless they
mean Uncle Sam ," A vast amount
of property afterward passed through
Wilson's hands marked in the same
manner, and he was often joked upon
the extent of his possessions. The joke
spread through all the departments of
the government, and before long the
United States was popularity referred
to as Uncle Sam

COCKAYNE COUNTRY.

Near where yonder evening star
Makes a glory in the air,
Lies a land dream-found and far
Where it is light alway.
There those lovely ghosts repair
Who in Sleeps eSchantment are,
In Cockayne dwell all things fair.
Out It is far away.)
Through the gates-a goodly sight
Troops of men and maidens come,
There shut out from heaven at night
Belated angels stray;
Down those widespread groves they
roam
Through a land of great delight,
Dreaming they are safe at home.
(But that is far away)
There the leaves of all the trees
Written are with a running rhyme,
There all poets live at peace,
And lovers are true, they say
Earth in that unwintered cline
Like = star incarnate sees
The glory of her future time.
(But it is far away
Hard to find as it is far.
Dark nights shroud it's brilliance rare
Crouching round the cloudy bar
Under the wings of day.
But if thither We will fare,
Love and death the pilots are
Might either one convey me there.
(But it is far away

Mrs. Annie Besant says that she has
never lost touch with the spirit of
Nine Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and
knows positively that it is now rein
carnated in the body Of a young Brah-
man in India. This youth is not yet of
age and does not know whose spirit
IS in him, but that will be revealed to
him in good time, and then the world
will learn his name. This female spirit
cavcrting around in the body of a
young boy isn't the proper thing even
for so staid an old lady as Nine. Bla-
yatsky.
