were injured more or less seriously be-
fore the police were able to quell the
disturbance.
Fire broke out at Higashi Hama-Cho-
Vokadate on the night of Nov. u, and

BANKS IN STRONG CONDITION
WEEKLY STATEMENT AND
FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Outlook Is For Cheap Money Fer
Some Time to Come = Exchange
Conditions Reversed.

New York, Dec. 4.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following
changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, $4S59l5.
Loans, increase, S3,475, 500. Specie,
increase, 1888, 800; legal tenders, in
crease, 1897, 00O deposits, increase, S.
$500; circulation, decrease $9S, 100.
The banks now hold so, 122, $50 in eX-
cess of the requirements CT the % per
cent rule.
The New York Financier says this
week: The enormuoS balances Which
the New York banks have been ac-
cumulating for the past few months
are shown in the clearing house state
ment for the week. Loans are now
within 81, 800 600 of the $500, zoe, coo
mark, and deposits are $66,27S,600
which is one-thrd the total individual
deposits reported by the 800 national
banks of the United States on Oct.
last The rapid increases made by the
banks since May last will be under
stood better when it is stated that the
gain in deposits since that time has
been 1000 600, and in loans, more
than $S9, 10000 Comparative figures
show that 500 000,0 coo of this increased
deposits and $4O,OOO,OO0 of the loans
have been made by one bank, which
holds at the present time over S9l 00O,-
900 Of national deposits.
The statement Of the banks for the
week is favorable. Loans show a con-
tinued increase, the expansion having
been distributed among a larger num-
Der of institutions than has been the
case for some time past. The number
of banks clearing through the clearing
house has been decreased one, through
the absorption Of the United States
National by the Western National and
the increase of 81, 21S, 800 in the loans
and $3,S75000 in the deposits of the
latter institution reflects this CONSOLE
dation. The increase of deposits for
the week is due in great part to special
causes, one bank alone reporting an
expansion in this item of 6,S43,0 900,
which is larger than the combined
changes in all the other banks. This
was due to circumstances connected
with the Union Pacific settlements.
Five banks gain in deposits nearly $13,-
100000 from which it is to be inferred
that the deposits of the other SO banks
in the clearing house are about $6,000,-
600 less than at the end of the previous
week The gain in cash, according to
the statement, was 81, 166, 300 but this,
too seems involved in special transac-
tons. 1t is known that the banks re-
ceived from the interior more than
S2,OOOOOO in excess of shipments, but
since one bank alone increased it's
cash $5,SOO,O00 and the gains made by
three amounted to $500, coo, it follows
that the large majority of the banks
have decreased their reserves.
The statement, taken as a whole,
proves the banks to be in a strong con-
dition. The larger institutions are
buying sterling bills and as the Union
Pacific deal has been financed without
the first suggestion of disturbance the
outlook is for cheap money for some
time to come.

METHODS OF EXCHANGE.
Ton of Gold Awaits Exchange By
Telegraphic Transfer.

New York, Dec. 4.-The sum of $780,
900 in gold coin (nearly one ton weighD
was deposited in the United States
sub-treasury in this city today in ex-
change for Geographic transfer of
that amount from San Francisco. The
arrangements for this transfer We're
made through the treasury in Wash
ington, but the deposit was not made
by VIM, Lauier e Co., as it was an
nounced in some morning papers that
it would be. A few weeks ago New
York bankers had millions of dollars
in gold in San Francisco that they
wanted transferred to this city in the
same way. Now the exchange condi-
lions are reversed and the government
could accommodate the bankers with
out loss, which they could not do then.
At that time the bankers shipped their
gold from San Francisco by registered
mail.
A Geographic transfer of 100000 to
New Orleans was made toC4y through
the sub-treasury in exchange for legal
tender notes.

THE EVANGELIST.
BY REV. II. L. GILLESPIE.
LIS OhhlOh
NOBLE, o.

In the TRANSMISSION of new life which
the messenger of good tidings brings,
he employs the most efficient of all
methods, successive meetings and
discourses lasting from days to weeks,
and even months. He is a master of
rhetoric and instinctively reads men
and audiences as one reads an open
book, and notes moral changes as the
varying colors of the sky, The sue
cessful evangelist educates the spirit
as the successful teacher does the
mind, and is as familiar with its laws.
His most difficult and necessary
achievement is self-mastery. 1t is
easier to control an audience than for
speaker to control himself. A
burst of enthusiasm, vision of truth,
may lift him into the air and mag
nificent effort end in nothing be-
cause at the crucial moment it is not
intelligently or courageously directed.
Such a course satisfies his hearers
who will fatter and pay him literally,
but they are not helped to mend
their ways nor build the kingdom.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-05-22

The average audience applauds a
rhetorical display of general terms
applied to the "other fellow" but
some depart when concrete truth is
applied to itself. 1t is child's play
to shatter the citadels of Roman and
Protestant foeman, but a work in
which angels fail is to cause the aver
age "Universalist" to think upon
present social and moral questions
and apply the conclusions to himself.
The true evangelist is sympathetic
with his audience, but speaks the
truth for friend and foe alike. He
finds it easy to unmask the fallacies
and parade the sins of avowed ene-
mics, but to Enthusiastically declare
the truth in respect to the sins and
fallacies of friends and supporters,
costs heroic struggle in which
the would-be messenger of God is
sadly worsted.
The first and last effort of the in
telligent and honorable evangelist is
to educate and inspire his own house
hold, to do which he does not need
wild excitement, but deep and earnest
convictions of truth, which lead to it's
active support. Thus he makes the
church and not himself an irresist-
ible and enduring power for its own
growth and influence. This is the
measure of his success, and this he
will do if he has no secret service or
esoteric doctrine for his own life and
another for the people, for his whole
life is dedicated to walk in the foot
steps of the Master.
The work of such evangelists, if
followed honestly and encouraged by
Universalists, would be to everyone
such message of good tidings as
they never have heard, and in which
all would rejoice.

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
By PRESIDENT I. M. ATWOOD, D. d.

!. THE discp ssion which has now become
lively in the religious press, as to the
position taken by Prof. Harnack. OF Ber-
lin in a recent volume of his work on
the History of Early Christian Lltera-
ture. presents incidental elem ents not
less interesting than the chief question.
Prof. Harnack is very independent in
vestigator and has the reputation OF be-
ing as thorough as he is eelf-reliant. His
researches have led him to the conciu-
sion that the dates affixed by tradition
To most of the New Testament books are
Trustworthy. He makes some changes
of the figure, backwards or forwards, IN
nearly every case, but the TRADITIONAL
dates substantially stand. In the case
of the epistles of st. Paul he carries the
dates back four to five years as the con-
sequence of having fixed his death at
Rome in the year Ga. But it would be
an unwarranted inference that Harnack
accepts the matter in all these books as
historical. He differs from some older
critics as we'll as from many or MS
contemporaries, in thinking that SIN
gle generation was long enough for the
pneumatic enthusiasm" OF the disciples
to create the wonders.
The incidental question that has at
tracted our attention is the dependence
of all parties on authority. The contro-
yersy between DR.. Behrends and DIR. Alb
bott, for instance, is little more than an
array of names. A careful catalogue has
lust been made up of the numbers, re-
spectively, of advanced" and 'conserva-
tive" critics in Germany and Holland. 1t
shows comfortable balance on the con-
seryatiye side, and the souls of the fear
full are reassured. But headlong fol-
lower of the advanced school OF critics
exclaims, "Holtzmann and Pheiderer
and Julicher are on our side;" and men,
tion of these authorities throws the ira
dionalist into spasms again. Who are
these critics, that we should pin our
faith 80 firmly to them? Learned men
and experts, but quite fallible. They
are successors of other men once quoted
with equal confidence; they will be sue
ceeded by still other men who also will
have their day. The truth is, in our
limitless ignorance we must have au-
thorities for our opinions. Harnack is
today high authority on the early lit
erature OF the church. But any one who
reads him will discover that he is often
arbitrary and capricious. To follow him
blindly. whether in his conservative oil
in his radical learnings, is to go on g
road which will often have to be re
traced.
We are having in this country alto
gether too much assumption of author
ity. Men whom no popular call or act
has put in charge of any public interest
assume the management Of it. They may
be great and good men; they may know
how to manage the State's,or the nations
or the party's. or the church's affairs
but inasmuch as they have not beer
called to that Office it is usurpation fol
them to attempt to fill the position. AnC
the time has gone by in the history o
Western nations when good intention
or even eminent ability justify usurpa
