Voice.

beheld indeed the light, but they heard
not the voice of him that spake to me.
This voice commanded him to become
an Apostle Of Jesus to the Gentiles. To
the guidance of the Voice he committed
his life.
1t was his personal desire to give his
first testimony to Jesus in Jerusalem
and Judea. In the temple he prayed
that such might be his allotment. He
bravely wished to humiliate his own
pride and become an object OF derision
to the very prosecutors he had encour.

his ministry in Asia, or should cross

In Corinth Paul was fighting an ap.

this city. Paul, in obedience to the
Voice, remained year and half in
Corinth, and founded there an inhuen-
tial church.
These are instances of the guidance of
Paul by the Inner Voice. In future les
sons we shall learn how the same Voice
authoritatively spoke to him in critical
hours in Jerusalem and on the sea.
Paul was obedient to the Risen Jesus
through direct guidance of the Inner
Voice.
He was Untiringly Active in
the ApOstleship. AS we review his
three missionary journeys, we find there
was no rest for him in inactivity. From
the time when he was with Barnabas
sent forth by the church of Antioch as
missionary to the Gentiles, till the
date at which we now leave him land in

record), be had no object in living not

The presidents message to Congress
will not be known in Its entirety at
least and perhaps not in its general re-
concentrations, until it is sent in, but
il can be taken for granted that a re-
mmendation that the Cubans be
granted belligerent rights will not be
made. 1t may come as later paper
after Blanco has had a chance to try
his policy and the Autonomist idea
to demonstrate itself, but no sooner
Notwithstanding, it is also certain
that there will be a determined effort
made to bring up the Morgan resolu-
ton and pass it through Congress.
There is a strong feeling in Congress
and it is only reflex of the sentiment
of the country, that Cuba has been
left to cool her heels at the doors of
the United States Congress long
enough.

The Globe-Democrat suggests that
Laurier will discover in his intercourse
with Americans at Washington that
there is in this country no worrying
over Canadian annexation. He may
go further and learn that the only
conditions upon which the United
States would accept Canada would be
a conviction that she would be less
troublesome that way than now. On
ly then would or could there be deal,
upon the promise of Great Britain to
assume and pay the Indebtedness OF
that bankrupt colony. AS Great Brit
ain would not pay that much to get
rid of Canada, the deal would be off.

The troubles of the Prohibition
lists come thick and fast. No sooner
is the cold storage law of Texas de-
clared unconstitutional and the beer
in cold storage admitted, thant the
news is wired to South Carolina that
the Supreme court of the United States
has opened the door to the original
package entry into that state, and the
special dispensary privileges of that
state are among the things that were
and are not. Better stow all this nom
sens. 1t only makes costs for the
court, business for the lawyers and
taxes for the people, to say nothing
of the bitterness that is engendered
in the controversies. 1t is about time
that the American people came to the
conclusion that you cannot regulate
a mans religion, or his holidays, or
his eating and drinking by special en-
actments of the state and national
legislatures. The lesson has been
taught often enough.

PosTMAsTER's REPORT.

The postal savings bank agitation
is before the country to stay 1t can
not be sneered out of a demonstration.
1t has its advocates in the highest
quarters of government The head of
the postal department is an earnest adj
vocate Of the measure. In. the late
report, just published, he takes strong
ground in favor of the establishment
of such repositories for the savings of
the people. His arguments are that
such repositories would bring into ac-
tual use, and so increase the circulat-
ing medium, large sums of money in
the hands of the laboring and profess
sional classes, who now secrete these
sums having no confidence in the or
binary repositories of the country
This distrust as to the banks
and agencies would not apply
to the government investment
and repositories, and these idle
funds would thus feel their way into
the channels of trade: Also, that this
system of deposits, connecting the sta
bility of the government with the saw
ings Of the masses, in no small degree
would conduce to an increased interest
in the affairs of government enlarge
the patriotism of the citizens, and, by
giving them to the extent of their saw
ings a monetary stake in the gov
eminent, contribute to their good citi-
zenship and thus to the stability of
government. The Light has been a
.fe-tn 81
ment of savings banks of this charac-
ter for some years past, and it gladly
welcomes this recommendation from
the head of the postal department of
the nation. That it will come to be
accepted by Congress and put into ac-
tual use for the benefit of the small
savings of the people, is one of the
certainties. Present indications are
that it will receive more or less atten-
ton at the hands of government but
that it will not be generally introduced
at present. Another Congress may
establish the system experimentally.
Another of the matters considered in
the report of Postmaster Gary, is the
deficiencies Of the postal revenues,
which deficiencies are placed to the
score Of the expenses of the second
class mail matter, and the small reye-
nue. derived from so large an addition
to the burdens of the postal service.
He follows the recommendations of
former postmasters in urging a change
in this direction, but it is not so GER
tain that the law as it now stands is
the injustice that it is represented to
be. There is a grave question wheth-
er it would be wise to add to the
cost of the dissemination of news
and it is an open question whether the
deficit complained of might not better
be made up from other sources than
directly taxed upon the carriage of
the news Of the day. The report is
encouraging as showing the efficiency
of the department and the increased
revenues of the department. Rural
free delivery is largely written down
as a success in the report.

The whole country seems to look
on with pious alarm whenever the an
nouncement is made that the bride
who was expected to wed Tom takes
Dick in his stead after all the marriage
feast has been spread. This is pure
nonsense Marriage is form. All
that sanctions it is pure affection. 1t
is wiser and better for a woman to
wed the real man Of her hearts affec-
tions, even if society does stand aghast
than to wed knowingly to satisfy home
or parents and so legalize the prosti-
tuition of her whole nature. There are
some lawful things that are grossly
immoral.

Alabama has the endorsement OF so
eminent authority as John Birkinibine
of the United States geological sur
to the effect that the contiguity of the
raw materials entering into the manu-
facture of pig iron gives to certain por-
tiOns of that state advantages which
permit the production of iron at cost
below that at present possible elsewhere
in this country. This is in the line
direct with what the Light has already
said as to the effort to secure that

Weyler was brute. He was brutal
in his temper in his acts, in his mind,
in the essential qualities of his nature.
But he was true to the Spanish idea
OF governing Cuba. He carried out the
spirit of the government that sent him
there TO crush that effort of a free peo-
pie and do it with an iron heel. The
dissatisfaction of Spain was not with
his methods, but with his failures.
That government at Madrid only re-
called him at the protest of civilisation
when it could not hope to see him sue
cessful. He was at least open in his
cruelty. He believed that Cuba must
be made, desert in order to be con-
quered and he was doing it as fast as
circumstances permitted. He will not
be rebuked for his effort when he
reaches Madrid. He has done what
Spain intended he should. Blanco will
be more polite, but not one whit more
successful and to the men in arms he
will be to the full are rigorous as Wey-
Ter. He will be more crafty and insin-
cere and the harder to deal with. Con-
sui General Lee will find him fair to
his face and false to his declarations.
