KnelI of London Land marks.

which is to be rebuilt and enlarged,

claims to have been licensed for close

The Problem Of Current Needs.

Meth. of St. Louis. The men who fam
cy that what we need most is the old
time class-meeting,' and that the gen.
eral use of the mourners' bench would
revivify the church, have not yet be-
gun to study the problem of our cur
rent needs. What we need is a spir-
it of consecrated ingenuity, of jealous
inquiry, of holy zeal, which will devise
fresh methods of securing conversions;

Has the vital spirit of Methodism died
out-the spirit that seeks to adapt
means to ends, that invents new meth
ods of reaching men. that is fertile and
quick in devising new way to get
hold of the unconverted, when old
time methods seem to be obsolete?
This inventive spirit will prompt men
who are In touch with God, and who
really want to help others into the
kingdom, in the search for the right
means to be used. Instead of using
old-time machinery, why not, when
that fails to produce the best results,

How to Bear Criticism.

We often hear of branches which this
one or that one would propose as an
addition to the curricula Of our theo-
logical seminaries. while there are 9TH
ers who think that theological courses
as arranged at the present day are too
diffusive, and that while seeking to
be broadly comprehensive. they lack
in intensity and depth. And now
"The Watchman" has suggested that
one of the things that seminary
should teach its students is how to
bear criticism with patience and equa-
nimity. A minister is sure to be criti-
cised, and he is sure to need criticism
at times. No one, clergyman or layman,
has any reason to object to criticism
so long as it is fair and kindly. Per-
haps few paternal counsels on this
head from theological professors, who,
of course, are never themselves criti-
cised would be timely.

EASTERN GIRLS GOING WEST

Agents in New York Engaging Mattresses
for the Pacific Slope.
A number of agents in New York
are engaging girls to work as walt
resses in California and in Denver and
other cities in the far West. 1t ap-
pears that Eastern girls are more pop
ular than Western girls in restaurants
out there, and that the places that en-
ploy girls from New York, and other
Eastern cities are rushed with busi-
ness.
The employment of these girls began
last summer, when an agent hired ff-
ty young women to go from New York
to Denver. He succeeded in getting
them all employment within twenty
four hours. This induced him to try
other cities, and he found there was
a demand for Eastern girls in the res
taurants of Western cities. He re-
turned to New York, and now it is
said that an exodus Of mattresses to the
West has set in One New York res
taurant keeper who employs women
said:

they should want Eastern girls rather
than Western girls for Mattresses; but

The ministry as divine calling in
recent years has been declining in pub
lie esteem," says the Congregational
ist of Boston. For this decline min
listers and churches are mainly respon-
sible They have determined the
standard of value, have decided what
qualities they want in a minister, and
what preparation is necessary to fit
him for his position. People generally
have accepted their standard. A gen.
Grafton ago the ministry stood highest
among the learned professions. To-
day 1t stands lowest. The Massaehus-
etts Bar Association would treat as RI
diculous an application for membership
with degree of preparation in law
which in theology would satisfy Mas
sachusetts ministerial association.
Medical or dental associations would
prosecute men who assumed to prac-
tise medicine or dentistry with no more
knowledge of their business than the
knowledge OF theology which would
make a candidate acceptable to minis
terial associations"

RELIGIOUS OPINION.
ANSWERED PRAYER.

Father, whose tenderness has wrapped
me round
In great need, to what shall I com
pare
Strength thou hast sent in answer to
my prayer?
Not to the help some falling vine has
found,
That trailing listless on the frozen
ground
Clings suddenly to some high treilis
there,
Lifting itself once more into the air
With timid tendrils on the lattice
wound.
Rather to help the dropping plant has
won,
That weary with the beating of the
rains
Feels quickening in its own responsive
veins
The sudden shining of distant sun.
When from within the strength and
gladness are.
My soul knows that it's help comes
from afar.

the feverish inclinations Of belligerent

as If nothing had happened, and is

the blame for the loss of the Maine will
be laid just where it belongs.
The American people can rest per-

American people. If the Maine was

self, that will be the report that the
Navy Department will issue. If it was
the fault of anybody he will be pun
ished If 1t was due to outside treach-
cry the people will be truly and plainly
told so.
John D. Long is the soul of honor,
one Of those men who are so brave they
dare face the truth, dare speak, dare
live 1t. When he was an obscure
young man studying law he was up
right. fearless. guided by principle.
ambitious, but not inordinately so. He
aspired to shine in politics, but the
man doesn't live who ever had the te-
merity to ask John Long his price.
In personal appearance Secretary
Long is short, chunky and rotund. In
frame he resembles the popular idea of
Napoleon more than President McKin-
ley does. His head is phenomenally
large, his face broad, full, pleasant OF
expression, and he has wonderfully
agreeable, persuasive, sympathetic
voice. His manner is that of a man
entirely master of himself, and no mat.
ter how illustrious the company or how
distinguished the surroundings, Mr..
Long invariably holds up his end and
impresses everyone with unaffected
greatness.
When General Butler entertained
some desire to be renominated for the
Governorship of Massachusetts he said:
There is only one man in the State
I'm afraid of and he is Long II he
wants it he can be elected hands
down."
It is extremely fortunate that such
a man is at the head of the Navy De-
partment. Anybody can be Secretary
when all is quiet, and everything Is
plain, easy sailing; but 1t takes a tried,
trustworthy and responsible mind to
exercise, without excitement, the off,
cial functions certain to lead to the
unknown, and which may lead to the
unexpected.
In this trying hour the people will
have a chance to Judge and learn what
manner Of man is at the head of that
branch of our service upon which great
reliance would have to be placed in any
critical time. and 1t will be found that
John D. Long will measure up to all
that is expected and required of him,
and will have a headful of brains and
q heartful of nerve to spare, for he is
one Of the safest statesmen the admin
istrative branch of our government

WHAT OF THE NEXT GENERATION

'The religious condition as it pre-
sents itself to us is threatening, rather
than in a desperate or discouragins
condition." says the New York Chris
tian Intelligencer (RefD. "The serious
question is, What of the next genera.
ton? If men hold to religion and yet
forsake the church; if they try to serve
God, do justly, and practice mercy. and
yet use the appointed means OF
grace. and by example. if not precept,
teach their children to value lightly
the Sabbath, the sanctuary. and the
institutions Of religion, will not the
next generation depart still further
from the service of God and of duty
toward fellow-man? These are ques-
tions which awaken solicitude. The
religious situation to-day demands
thought and study from many points
of view. 1t calls very possibly for the
readjusting of many ideas and meth
ods. 1t needs in the ministry the best
the church can give of native ability,
thorough training, and intelligent, con-
secrated piety. 1t needs on the part of
church members consistent living, god
ly lives, which alone will convince the
world of the worth of the church and
the religion it represents and promotes.

with statistics to prove there is no rea-
