SOME ASPECTS OF THE PEACE
TREATY.
BY EDWARD BOURNE.

So far but few discordant notes
have been heard to mar the harmony
of the general chorus of approval
and congratulation with which the ar
bitration agreement between Great
Britain and the United States has
been hailed, both in Europe and in
the United States. Mr.. Gladstone
promptly cabled New York paper, re-
joicing in the signature of the treaty
as vindicating "a sound conviction
worthy of Christians" and as consti-
tuting "a step in the path of real
progress" Crispi, Italy's greatest
statesman, instrumental with Bis
marck in constructing the triple AL
lance" which has imposed upon Eu-
rope the costliest armaments and the
greatest burdens since the great Ma
poleonic struggle, finds in the arbi-
tration agreement between Great
Britain and the United States en-
couragement for Italy to negotiate in
turn, though he is still doubtful
whether treaties of arbitration twill
be so quickly concluded between the
great powers because of the too acute
jealousy of their respective interests" !"
France, also, seems inclined to view

Cox. He at once remarked:
"The matter by you was we'll put
to the doctor, and he should have
solved the problem you gave him if
he could; but he could not do it, for
the best of all reasons; it cannot be
DONE"
l have now given my short method
with the believer in the doctrine of
endless punishment. 1t is a simple
statement of facts which no preacher
or layman can controvert, and should
stare every person square in the face
who believes in the horrible heathen
doctrine of endless punishment.
1t is presenting in brief space one
of the many shocking inconsistencies
contained in the creeds of the So
called evangelical churches.

THE HAUGHTINESS OF MISSION
ARIES"

The reason why Christian missions
are, upon the whole, a lamentable
failure, is due mainly to the haughti-
ness with which Christ's religion is
offered to the pagans. Christians are
30 deeply impressed with Christ's
humility that they are not aware of
the pride which they themselves ex-
hibit. There is, for instance, the
missionary hymn "From Greenland's
Icy Mountains" whose melodious
rhymes are frequently heard in
Christian churches. The verses are
beautiful, but they are marred by
an undisguised contempt for the
heather; yet no missionary seems
aware of it. The Singhalese people
are neither vile nor idolatrous; but
are famed as the gentlest race on
earth, and their religion is Buddhism.
Their worship consists in flower offer
ings at Buddha-shines, but even the
most ignorant of them are aware of
the fact that Buddha statue is not
the Buddha himself. Protestants
make similar accusations against the
Roman Catholics, when they ought
to distinguish between practices re-
sembling idolatry and idolatry itself.
If Buddhists sent missionaries to our
country who sang such stanzas to us,
how should we like it9 1t is certain
that missionary hymns which de-
nounce the people of Ceylon as "vile"
do not help Christians to make con-
verts among them. The poet intends
to glorify "the light from on high" :"
but he exalts himself as belonging to
those "whose souls are enlightened
with wisdom from on high"-which
makes a great differencel His noble
zeal for spreading the truth appears
as pharisaical self-conceit, and can
only give offense to those whom he
wishes to convert. Thus it is natural

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT 1. M. ATWOOD, D. D.

THE REMARK is frequent, that the
more a church does for the general work
the more is it able and willing to do for
home work. The rule works equally we'll
the other way. The more a church does
at home the more it is capable OF doing
abroad. For home work means the en-
listing of more people, the giving of more
money by more persons, and the steady
enlarging Of the area OF activity. This
results in strong church, and it is self
evident that strong church can do
more than a weak one. The wise master
builder studies to build the individual
church even broader and stronger. His
aim is to increase and compact the ener-
gy of the institution. Then he has
something that can be depended upon
for all legitimate uses. Ast the first duty
of an individual is to be fit to serve, 30
the first business of church is to be
able to do.
While sympathizing sincerely and
strongly with all efforts to turn ungodly
people into the way of salvation. we are
continually confronted with men and
their measures that excite our disgust
when they do not evoke our opposition.
1t is much the fashion with certain evan
gelists to have meetings of the children
of the town in which they are conduct
ing revival services, and to make a spec
atty of having them give their hearts to
Jesus" Such result is devoutly to be
wished; butsthe spectacle of the way in
which the evangelist would accomplish
it is far from edifying. 1t is business
with him. He handles the delicate or
ganism of human spirit as If it were a
cabbage, and expects to do for the chill
dren in an hour what years of intelligent
and conscientious nurture are INSULT
cient for.
1t is we'll said by Ian MacLaren in
one of his Yale lectures. that "a course
of sermons on the metaphysics Of faith,
followed by another on the philosophy
of prayer. will go far to make infidels of
COuRf0SdtIOus Ouo Wallis LIS QTluh-
ing water taken through flter-bed,

and favorsome sayings which abound
in these lectures. The hand of the mas
ter is visible on every page.
Mr.. Otis X. Stuart. manufacturer,
has also his remedy for depression. The
great malady with which the business
world is afflicted, according to Mr..
Stuart, is suicidal competition" To
check competition and keep business en-
terprise from the excess which cuts off
profit for anybody, is the next STEP"
Trusts and unions are indications that
a remedy is demanded and are natural
but crude expedieuts to reach desired
end. A more comprehensive and minute
trust combination is what Mr.. Stuart
would have. But he should remember
the wise maxim that an ounce of proven.
tion is worth pound of cure. and apply
his remedy to the cause instead Of to the

that when Christian missionaries
speak of love, Buddhists accuse them
of haughtiness and pride.
Missionaries do not only unneces-
sarily offend the pagans by showing
contempt for persons, their religion,
their morals, their nationality, but
also require of their own converts
surrender of habits and customs
which they cannot give up without
cutting themselves loose from their
traditions, which necessarily and
naturally have become most sacred
to them. If missionaries in China
cannot find modus Uiuendi for con-
verts by which they can preserve
their hallowed family relations and
continue to hold their ancestors
dear, we cannot blame the Chinese
government for regarding Christian
missionaries as public nuisance.
We respect the Saxon chief who, on
hearing that all his ancestors were
in hell, withdrew from the baptismal
font and preferred eternal damnation
with his fathers to the bliss of the
Christian heaven in the company of
Christian saints and martyrs. Mis-
sionarising should not cease, but
should be raised to higher level.
1t should be done in brotherly love,
not with contempt or in spirit of
pharisaic self-conceit.-Open Court.

language. Perhaps this is not very sur
prising It is enough to make persons of
low type of culture shy and suspicious
to be shut up for hours at time with in
quisitive savants, who were continually
looking at and questioning and measuring
them, turning them this way and that,
and photographing them; and, though the
little women were well cared for and much
was done to amuse them, they could not
get over the idea that the whites had some
sinister purpose. They feared they would
be poisoned, and never touched any dish
before their Italian servant had first tast-
ed It, They were carried around from one
scientific society to another, all over Ger
many and Belgium, and it is safe to say
that in their private opinion anthropology
was a great bore. and they were very glad
to get back to Africa.
