With Reference to India.

London, Oct. 29.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the excl1eauer,
speaking at Bristol this evening, revi aw-
ed at length che history of the recent
currency negotiations between Great
Britain, the United States ard France.
The chancellor of the exohequer said
he thought the decision of the Indian
government NOT to open the n1ints par
-tfeotly right. That view might not be
shared, he observed. by all his Colleagues
i'm the cabinet, but they were unanmous
as to the impoxsEbir,ty of ovsrFuling In
dia's desicion. The government was
pledged ito MAINTAIN the gold standard
and had considered the subject, not in
the light of prejudice nor even in the
light of such theoretical opinions as
members of the government might hold,
but as practical Statesmen, and they
had arrived at conclusion which thay
would he able, if challenged, to justify
before pae liamept or the country.
The chancellor of the exchequer de-
funded the policy of The governor of the
Bank of England en- the subject of sill
yer reserve, declaring thae> the governor
had adopted a proper and cautious att
titude.
With reference TO India's reply he de-
lferdsd it on The ground that the gold
standard could rot be adopted in Ird.a
as yet, and he wished that the Indian
government had more clsarly stated tbs
grounds for IT'S bensf that the geld stard-
ard could be made effeotivs.

from the words, Therefore leaving the
principles OF the doctrines Of Christ, let
US go on to perfection" His theme was
Christian perfection. He said we are
not always to remain laying the foun-
dalton of Christian character, out the
foundation Is necessary This Is as far
as a great many Christians get; they
lag the foundation, but never build on
Il; they remain babies In Christ; they
require nurslng. The foundation per-
haps is laid every year during revival
services, but the heat of summer some
how destroys, making II necessary To
relay It again the next winter, and thus
1t continues year after year.
This is not as It should be; II Is not

were to remain child, long after the
period of childhood ought TO be passed,
we would think there was something
wrong, and we would have right to
think so. The human being Is first the
babe, then the youth, and finally the
full grown man and woman. The spir-
itual life and the natural life have
many points In common. Both have a
birth to begin with. The birth of the
Christian is when the cleansing takes
place and then the subject requires the
sincere milk OF the Word, but 1t ought
to soon pass that period and go right
on to perfection,
The three words, Purity, Holiness and
Perfection, are considered synonyms by
many, but they are different, though
they never conflict, Purity has reference
to cleansing, when the nature is freed
from everything that is unholy, or that
is contrary to the teachings of Christ;
Holiness Is living in harmony with God,
and this leads right on to perfection
and we become stalwart men and wo-
men In Christ Jesus. Perfection Is mere

bad and went out into the open air, hop
ing he would be refreshed, He return

ne had never before felt such peculiar
feeling as was overcoming him. While
persons at the boarding house were do
ing what they could for the man, n ply
sIcian was summoned, but before his ar
rival Mr.. Gray was dead

and an investigation was made. 1t was
developed that heart disease had
claimed another victim.
Before he died the stranger said he
had room at the Metropolitan hotel,
on Main street, South Side, but an in
qulry at that place by the coroner re-
suited In denial that Gray had been q
guest there. The coroner has bunch
of keys belonging to the dead man, one
of which opens his trunk. The coroner
desires to be informed to-day al what
hotel Mr.. Gray was stopping so he can
make further Investigation. The
dead man had card on which were
printed the words. John d. Gray, 1920

telegraphed to this address last night,
but at a. m. no response had beenre-
celved It is learned his family live in
