How and Why should we testify for
Christi" John, 4:2-15. Leader: Miss
Ruth j. Sabin.
| like rather 10 answer the why
before the how Why should we
testify for Christ: Because we love
him. We do not like to hide any dear
thing. If we have beautiful friend
we want all of our friends to know
him. A secret friend is never a dearest
friend. What would you think of one
who would say Il love you very much
but I'll not let anyone know it,"
Christ did not set us this example.
He loved US and for this reason he
sacrificed his life for US. If we truly
love him we will testify for him.
How can we do this then is the
question. Beloved, if God so loved
us, we ought also to love one another"
Paul was speaking of faith just before
he said, IF l have all faith and have
not love am nothing" That was
Christ's one secret of the Christian
life. And Drummond, in speaking of
this law of Christ's says: "You would
never think of telling person to
honor father and mother. If he
loved them he could do nothing else.
1t would be preposterous to tell him
not TO kill a loved one. You would
only insult him if you suggested that
he should not steal from him. How
| could he steal from one he loved?''
Now if we love properly, the impulse
| will be to work for that which we love.
How can we better testify for loyed
one than by doing something for him?
And nothing is more pleasing to
| Christ than to have those who love
him testify to it by working for him.
Little deeds of kindness are perhaps
then they are the ones to receive the
most attention. We should always
remem Der that it is not so much what
we do as the spirit in which we do it.
have taken this line of a song they
know, for their motto for the new
year. make yourselves and Others
glad" They are going to make Others
glad and trust for their gladness. Is
| there not a lesson for US here?
Even so faith, if it hath not works
is dead, being alone.
Yea, man may say, Thou hast faith
and have works; show me thy faith
without thy works, and will show
thee my faith by my works." James
/ IL, Ills.

McKinley,s Individuality.

1hoSe VINO claim 10 know, assert
that VIM. Mckinley, as President Of
the United States, will evince a
marked individuality which will
prove surprising to those who re-
gard him simply as clay in the
hands of Mark Hanna and a few
other prominent Republican politi-
clans. So pronounced was Republi-
can sentiment in favor Of McKinley's
nomination at st. Louis that there
was no occasion for his making any
pledges, either expressed or implied,
except to stand squarely upon the
platform adopted, and he will thus
be enabled to enter upon his official
duties entirely free from all ontang-
ling alliances. His views upon
many questions of public policy
were clearly defined during the re-
cent campaign, and upon none of
them was he more pronounced than
upon that of a protective tariff. Be-
ing universally regarded as an en-
bodiment of the principal of protec-
ton to American industry he will
put forth his best efforts to bring
about such revision of our tariff
laws as viii, in his well-matured
opinion, restore prosperity to the
country. In these efforts he is liable
to meet obstacles of character more
or less serious. Unless party lines
shall be ignored the Senate will be
opposed to any radical changes in
the tariff laws and, though the House
is Republican, unlocked for contin-
gencies may arise there. The per-
sonal likes and dislikes of promi-
nent officials sometimes decides the
fate of important questions affecting
political parties and incidentally the
history of nations. If it should
prove that Hon. Thomas B. Reed,
who is likely to be Speaker of the
next House, cherishes any resent
ment On account Of the nomination
at ST. Louis of Mckinley instead of
himself, he might, without any very
apparent effort to do so, interfere
quite materially with the plans of
the president-elect. A prominent
eastern journal has given it out cold
that all who interfere with McKin-
ley's efforts to secure proper revision
Of the tariff will find that he is
hard fighter and will maintain his
position with all the means at his
eemmand.
Major Mckinley is q shrewd
enough politician to know that any
failure to bring relief to the country
which could be justly charged
against the Republican party would
result in the election of a Democratic
House for the Fifty-sixth Congress
and thus cut off all hope of tariff
reform during his administration.
Under these circumstances he can
not be otherwise than aggressive and
preserve his consistency. There are
few Congressmen, however, who
are becoming impatient at what
they term executive interference
with the time-honored preroga tives
Of the law making branch of the
government, and may for this reason
if for 10 other endeavor to give Mr..
Mckinley trouble. Just now,
though, is a very good time for
Republican ofIice-holders to lay
aside their jealousies and chickering's
and unite in a common cause for
the fuilillment of party pledges.

The Republican party has been ac-
cused of being especially favorable to
corporations and aggregated wealth.
The appointment of Henry g. Payne.
the paid lobbyist of the railroads and
oleomargarine interests, to a position
in the next cabinet would give color
TO this charge. The republican party
cannot afford by any act to admit, di-
rectly or impledly, the truthfulness Of
the accusation and we believe that
Mckinley, having the welfare of the
country and party at heart, will not by
any act of his, EN- barrass the party.
This is our reason for believing that
Mr.. Payne will not be appointed post
master general. Mr.. Hoard repre-
sents the very opposite influences. His
work has for years been connected
with agriculture, and he has built up
one of the greatest, if not the great
est. agricultural paper in the country.
When Payne was representing Phil.
Armour & Co. in Washington, en-
deavoring to defeat the passage of the
oleomargarine law, Hoard was pushing
that measure with might and main
on behalf of the farming interests.
One has been the consistent advocate
and representative of Accelerated and
spurious food products, the other has
insisted that all articles of food
should represent just what they are,
and that the passing off of a spurious
| article for the true, to the danger of
| the public health, and demoralizing in
its influence, should be considered a
crime and punished as such. One
stands for honesty; the other for dis
| honesty. That constant work and
| fort and tho ught in one or the other
| Of ohesedirections necessarilyinfluenc
the moral perception of the individual
Men become biased by the pursuit:
| they follow, and naturally form
associations and friendships according
ly. The railroad attorney or lobbyist
| cannot divest himself of this acquired
prejudice ia favor of corporations. by
| being elected to the legislature or to
congress, or by being appointed to an
important position. A professional
lobbyist in the cabinet may do i'm
measurable harm; man thoroughly
| devoted TO the interest of the masses
may render invaluable service. Fol
these reasons we believe that, If
Wisconsin is honored with cabinet
appointment, it will be Hoard. not

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9TH, 1897.
If President Mckinley and other
prominent Ohio republicans IN Wash
ington take any stock in the numerous
stories appearing in print. alleging the
existence of serious doubt Of the election
of Senator Hanna by the Ohio legisla.
turs, they hide it well, for TO a man
they insist that Senator Hanna's elec-
ton is assured.
The treaty between the United States
Japan and Russia, by which it Is agreed
that the killing of seals in open sea in
Behring Sea and the North Pacific
Ocean shall be temporarily suspended,
having been signed by the representa-
tives of the several governments, the
work of the first sealing conference is
closed, and this week, the second con.
ference, between the u. S., Great
Britain, and Canada, will meet. In
terest has been increased in this con-
ference by the intimation that the
Canadian officials intend to try to ne.
gotiate treaty which will include
some sort of commercial reciprocity
between the U. S. and Canada.
Washington is likely to see much Of
the wire pulling that will be done by
the republicans who would like to sue
coed Senator German, as at least
three of the gentlemen spend prac-
tically all their time at the National
CAPITAL. Those who would like to be
Senators from Maryland are Postmaster
General Gary, Judge McComas, of the
Supreme Court of the District Of Col.
umbia, and Representative Mudd.
Governor Lowndes who is also credited
with a desire to sit in the Senate, like
wise spends considerable time in Wash
ington, being a member Of the famous
Metropolitan Club. Neither of these
gentlemen has formally announced
himself to be a candidate for the Senate
but they are each being pushed for tie
position, by friends, and there ale
others who would not object to the
plum.
