10TH CENTURY.

NV A"eh SSueu'y 10 A"S' >o'iA"~ =
to a close, from the present indica-
tions the closing days of this century
will be bathed and baptized in the
blood Of nations. The record of this
century has been bloody one, and
the inventive genius has been ever
active and industrious in preparing
death dealing missiles and machinery.
The destinies of dynasties have been
thrown and overthrown, shapen and
unshApen, and through all the turbu:
lence OF the times, the world has
gradually but most wonderfully in
creased in intelligence and s'wealth.
In this century some of the srandest,
noblest men and wom-u in the world 5
history have had their day ana passed
away. The vast accumulation 's
national and individual wealth is fab
ulous, new fields of labor have been
opened by the enterprising, push and
pluck seems to have characterized
sthe people Of ALL nations; the so
considered impossibilties have been
made possible, operative, practical
and effective, time and distance have
been shortened by cable, steam and
electricity; all things seemed to have
been graspcd, measured and utilized.
The scope of the human mind alone
stands the unfathomcd-the unknown
4uautity by the profound of the
world. The march of progress is
marked by new developments each
succeeding year, as yet there seems
10 be no limit TO which man NAV 90.
While We rejoice over these
wonderful achievements of man We
are made to feel pang of regret
that people and things are not as
they once were, we are both to admit
the existence of a national calamity
in shape of greed for gain, fnantial,
territorial and colonial. This same
spirit pervades the private individual.
Men are measured by their money
not minds, property possessions not
principle, the enabling impulse of
sentiment is buried beneath so:dd
utility. Is there anything in this
or that for me:
Woman, who has ever stood be.
tween man and this state of affairs.
has fallen over to the side of utility,
and now vies with man, and occupies
positions which alone formerly be-
longed to man; and the chic girl
on the wheel needs but to discard
very few articles of clothing TO be in
full male attire, but then thus attircd
she is thing of beauty, and accom-
rlishcs the object of her make up: ic
admiration ; We of course speak only
of those who don the boomers; all
this however, tends to show the drift
Of affairs in this day Of progress and
advancement. This same spirit Of
gain in worldly goods, we are more
than sorry to say, has crept into the
church. Some of our most eminent
