good in the next world as he is in

that he is Interchangeable, always the

sons will come back they will find

all have died in Adam, even so shall
all be made alive in Christ; that be-
cause Christ was lifted up from the

not doubt his honesty and sincerity,
nor do | believe his sermons are given
for, sensational purposes, but no doubt
this difference of view is due to diff
ference of theological base. In our
scheme of thought we have no "total
depravity," 'lost world" nor Satan
ic majesty" By very simple and
natural process of inductive reason
ing, we can prove every institution
false and bad. Let us take off our
blue glasses; get the bile out of our
system and the mote out of our eye
and see the good, beautiful and true
in life. | do not say there is no per
sonal devil. Upon this subject | am
somewhat of an agnostic, I don't
know. There may be devil in some
society, in some schools, in some
churches. My experience is limited
and all | can say is that, so far as my
experience and observation goes, we
have no devil in our church, and he
is not member of the society with
which we associate. We have gone
to receptions, and a few nights ago
went where, it is said, he has been
seen, and saw cinderella" and king
Alfred, and in all this wandering
and sin we have not vet met and

fashion, in riches, in smartness, in in
trigue, in brass, in the base, in show, in
a sensational press, and in Satan. Hon
or, says Mr.. Coudert, "otten means pride
unembarrassed by scruples." 1t is this
whole brood of shams from which really
wise and good men are seeking deliver
ance.
Much experience and more observa
tion have settled it for US that congrega
tions, and exc ministers. are often deep.
ly deluded as to the financial and relig-
ious value of good music. In the first
place discrimination should be made be
tween what pleases and satisfies US as
art, and what contributes to devotion.
Concert and opera in a church may be
pleasing to the aesthetic sense, but they
are not tributary to worship. Most peo-
pie like to hear good singing, whatever
its motive or theme; and many people
imagine that they are benefited in one
and the same way by all kinds of really
good musical work. Another notion is
that people will gladly pay what it costs
extra to provide good music for the
church. We have never known this to
be the fact. 1t may increase somewhat
the attendance and the satisfaction of
certain persons; but we have never
known it to increase materially the rev
enues.
What then? Shall we abandon the
choir, or try to content ourselves with
hurdy gurdy: Shall the fact that pro-
fessionaI singers and players are often
utterly Indifferent to the worship, and
sometimes notoriously irrelgious,-that
certain styles of performance are mat
ter of worldly fashion or Of irrational
fad drive us TO the extreme Of surrend
ering music in our worship, or reduce us
to the Drumtochty musical ration of
psalms drawed in all keys and meters:
Better so, we would say. if our religion
were kept pure and vital and our wor-
ship sincere. But there is an alterna-
tive. There is, fortunately, no lack of
good church music. Hymns and tunes
that have the soul of worship in them
anthems, glees, glorias, chants, requiems
and other compositions of sacred music
that have endeared themselves to devout
hearts, abound TO utilize as much of
this Rs a prudent use of means and the
amount of available musical talent per.
NIT. should be our aim. At the same
time regard should be had to the char
acter and religious interestof those en-
ployed to conduct the music. Vain, ir.
religious or characterless choirs detract
from worship as much as they contrib.

FROM certain indications, it would

appear that physical conditions were
favorable for such an incoming into
this locality. The situation was such
as to supply human needs without
planting or reaping. The air and

peaches, plums and apricots grew in
abundance. From this region these
fruits have been transplanted to all
the other parts of the earth. The
climate, too, was favorable to mans
existence without any special care
for clothing; so far as his real comfort
was concerned, he would have been
about as we'll off nude as he could
have been clad in silk and white
linen. So, to begin with, he could
pluck, eat, sleep and be contented,
1t would be difficult to find any other
place so commodious and convenient
for mans ingress to this world as
this particular locality. The country
came to be known as Turania. As
the inhabitants increased and the
spontaneous productions were not
sufficient tosupply their actual wants,
they broke the soil and sowed the
wheat whose seed they gathered from
the northern highlands where it grew
wild and prolific. The tiIlers Of the
soil came to be called Aryans, signi-
fying users Of the pillow. In this do
main they dwelt, increasing in num-
bers, improving the land and build

their country to the surrounding
mountains and sea,

accomplish this advance it must have
required long centuries. Their civic

EDITORIAL BRIEFS.
BY PRESIDENT 1. NJ. ATWOOD. D. d.

Tgr rena-,.s of President NcK.aley
on the maintenance of the reformed civil
service are timely. In several quarters
there are renewals Of the cries of distress
which have broken forth from time to
time ever since the Inauguration of the
reform. In the State of New FORK the
resistance has become organized and has
the Governor at its back. An effort has
been made to give the movement the
character of a popular discomfort. But
the professional politician, the lobbyists
and the odice-seekers are the only class
es that have shown any desire to change
a system from which the public business
has reaped so much benefit. The peo
pie are more than satisfied: by their
action the reform has been embodied in
the constitution of the State of New
York and the spokesman confronted with
a statute and not a theory.
President Cleveland goes into re-
tirement amid the hearty amens of
great many of his countrymen, majori-
ty of them, apparently, rising from the
throats of Democrats. At the same time
the judgments on his executive career
pronounced from the sources of infuen-
tial public opinion, irrespective of party
lines, are remarkably coincident and ia
vorable. tie has commanded the conf
dence of the nation, and established
high reputation for steadiness. courage
and devotion TO principle. The qualities
which made him twice president are
those which he bears with him unim'
paired into private life. 1t is better, we
believe, for any public man, and as much
better for the public interests that he
should adhere firmly to what he deems
sound and good government than win
popularity by easy going indifference to
principle aud to the permanent welfare.

THE GOSPEL PREACHED BY PHILIP
IN SAMARIA.
BY 4, A. rHAYER, DID.

PnILlp was the second among the
firstseven deacons of the early church.
Stephen was the first. And after the
martyrdom of Stephen, because the
prosecutions were great at Jerusalem,
Philip went down to Samaria as an
inspired lay missionary. He preached
Christ unto the people, "And there
was great JOY in that city Hence
he must have preached a genuine
gospel unto them For the sole def
milton OF gospel Is good news, J"
good tidings of great JOY which
shall be to all people Hence any
kind Of news does not make a gospel.
Any kind of news is not good news.
Only the news which gives us Joy
do we call good news. And because
there was joy in Samaria over Philips
preaching, we rightly infer that he
preached the glad tidiugs of the Cos
pei of Jesus. The two facts that he
preached Christ unto them, and that
the people greatly rejoiced, are an as
surance Of the joyful character Of
Philips Christian message.
Two questions are now germane to
our subject, VII What would
have been news" to the Samaritans?
,. What would have been good
news" to them? First, the doctrine
of life beyond the grave could not
have been news to the Samaritans.
Their native land was contiguous to
the Jews. The Pharisees were the
dominant sect in Judea. For seven
hundred years or so, they had advo-
Gated the doctrine of a future life.
Everybody must have been familiar
with their belief. Hence the message
of Philip would have contained moth
ing new had he simply told the Sam
aritans that if man died he should
live again. Second, neither would it
have been news, much less good
news, had Philip told the Samaritans
that God loved his friends and hated
his enemies in that after life The
Pharisees had preached that doctrine
for all of those hundreds of years.
They had told the people that the
God of Israel had prepared separate
habitations for the good and bad;
that he hal separated them SO secure
ly that nobody could get out of heaven
into hell, and nobody could get out
hell into heaven.
This was an old story in the days
Of Philip. 1t had been the tradition
al doctrine Of the great majority Of
the Jews since the Babylonian cap
tiylty. 1t was neither good news,
nor even news. And inasmuch as
the Samaritans were bitter against
the Jews, it is a glaring absurdity to
suppose that they would have re-
ceived this offensive dogma of the
Pharisees as the glad tidings of a new
Gospel Of religion
What belief. therefore, did Philip
possess which ght have been good
news 10 the ~amaritans2 The
