''As a matter of fact" says the
'Watchman" (Bapt) of Boston, the
popular laudation of unsectarianism, by
men who ought to know better, is be-
coming one of the most serious obsta-
cles to the strength of evangelical
churches. If it is true that one church
is as faithful to the New Testament
ideals as another, and it makes very
little difference where a man enlists
his personal influence and labor and
support, let us have the courage of our
convictions, and accept the necessary
inference that there is nothing SO def
mite and clear to the Christian rev.
elation that it is worth standing for.
Depend upon it, denominationalism
sectarianism, if you please, is prae-
tically identical with the vigor and
depth of Christian conviction. 1t has
been finely said that the difference be-
that the former is intense feeling about
little things, and the latter is intense
feeling about great things. Some de-
nominations are fairly open to the
charge of fanaticism. Their dis
tinctive doctrines are not important
enough but that is not true of leading
divisions of the Christian Church They
represent convictions about great mat
ters The spirit which makes unsee-
tarianism it's boast is not the spirit that
is swayed by strong convictions or
makes great sacrifices for the advance
of the Gospel"

Speaking of Fort Lee, by the way
the story of that historic spot is one of
degeneration From the time that the
Father of His Country evacuated the
now vanished stronghold to the British
regulars till the early seventies the To-
cality steadily improved; then, how
ever, it evidently reached the top of
the hill and has been, figuratively, slid
ing down the other side ever since.

the locality's only remaining claim to
natural beauty.
Pre- vious to the beginning of its last
ill-fated epoch Fort Lee was a sum-
mer day" resort for respectable peo-
pie Of the middle class, never crowded,
always innocent of catch-penny devices
and a spot of ideal rural beauty. 1t
was then reached by pleasant sail
up the Hudson from lower down town.
When the elevated railroad was ex-
tended to the upper part of Manhattan
Island another ferry was established,
which connected Harlem with Fort Lee,
and at that time the rough element in

course of years departed. and the fort
was then held by a scant handful of
German roadhouse keepers. Even these

stiletto in the dark; but at any rate
never with a sword or a musket.
Yet one who would take the time to
watch the parade on "Garibaldi Day"

One good effect of the war fever in
New York is the apparent metamorpho-
sis of Pulitzer's' World" This paper
shortly after the Maine disaster, tried
it's best to out-saffron its yellowest
contemporary, but the Journal" be-
cause of more real, inborn yellow gen
ius, or because of greater resources,
rapidly went far into the lead where
upon Mr.. Pulitzer wisely took another
tack. In night almost, the World, :"
pioneer of sensational insanity, became
conservative. This fact was made
known by decided modification of
headlines, sudden, unexpected attack
on sensational contemporaries, and a
self -glorification of its own reputation
for truth. The ''Joudnal' thus is left
alone to fish in its own private sewer,

There is a genuine hunger to-day on
the part of the laity, not merely for
practical expositions of certain texts
and passages, but for clearer idea
of the Bible itself; how it came to be
what it is, why it carries authority, to
what extent the human element in it
is to be recognized" says the "Congre-
gationalist" of Boston. "The people are
not ignorant of the fact that a host
of scholars in both continents have
given long years to the study Of such
questions as these Every pastor has
in his congregation more souls that are
seeking light on these points than he
perhaps realizes. Some are meeting the
situation by facing it fearlessly and
thoroughly. So prominent pulpit as
that of the First Church, Detroit has
recently been used to set forth the
modern views Of the Bible, and the
eager interest with which the evening
congregations have followed the ten
consecutive addresse of DIR. Nehemiah
Boynton shows that there is a great
readiness for wise and temperate
presentation of the subject. DR. Boyn-
ton supplemented his lectures by after
meetings, at which questions were free
1y asked and answered It requires a
considerable amount of reading and
study to prepare ones self to do this
special work, and no minister ought to
carry to his people mere theories But
one who has come to see that the fire
of criticism has left US a very sub
stantial Word of God need not hesi-
tate to share with his people the con-
clusions reached under the. guidance

sisted of a single chair and a few cheap

A Utah Railway.

Utah is to have a gigantic electric
railway enterprise before very long,
the Utah American and Foreign Devel-
opment Company Of London having
undertaken the development of a large
section of the country. through which
they intend to build an electric road
eighty-two miles in length. This will
connect Ogden, Salt Lake City and
Provo. Utah. The district through
which the road will run is said to be
very rich. both a%griculturally and in
the line of mineral resources. The road
will reach Provo canyon. which forms
the only natural outlet for railroads in
that direction. and 1t is expected that
steam railroad extensions will he built,
the traffic being handled electrically
over the eighty miles Of the company's
lines. The power-house will be located
between Salt Lake City and Provo and
three miles from the former, so that
the maximum distance between the
power plant and either end of the line
will be forty-two miles. The plant is
designed for 2O.OOO-h0rse power. There
are said to be very extensive iron and
coal deposits along the line Of the road,
which ran he successfully developed by
means of electric power obtained from
the trolley feeders. /.

Tariff and Price, Of WOO,

NA8S OV
Under free wool the price dropped to
II cents per pound. The present price
Of wool is due to the protection afforded
by the Dingley tariff bill. The market
has now nearly reached. tho point at
which wool can be imported under the
new tariff. When unwashed wool
has reached the price Of about % cents
per pound the full protection afforded
by the Dingley tariff will have been
reached. Under the Mckinley tariff Of
$4,000 the price Of wool wass22 to "a
cents per pound, which Is the highest
point it Inns reached in twelve years.
Following this, for a period Of. two
years under Grover Cleveland and. no
tariff, the price was about 10 cents,per
pound for unwashed wool.
Owing to the Dingley protective tar.
iff' the price to-day for unwashed wool
is 20 cents per pound, and with the
return of prosperous times and the con.
sumption Of the enormous amount Of
foreign wool brought in under free duty
during. tiin' first half Of the year 1897
we shall hawe reached the point where
the wool will receive the full benefit of
the tariff which will advance the price
Of unwashed wool from 2 to 4 cents
above the present price. This will again
revive the wool industry in this country
