A Wholesome Rector.

The Church Standard publishes an
account of the twentieth anniversary
of the Rectorship of the Rev. DR.. Ed
ward Abbott of st. James Church,
Cambridge, Massachusetts,:
On thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
his parishioners presented him most
effectionate address and the Doctor in
the course of his sermon defined his
idea of the duty and work of pastor
in such simple but refreshing speech
that the Standards correspondent in
the diocese of Boston, sent the account
to that journal that it might receive a
wide circulation. Although DIR. Alb
bott seems to have been successful in
building up strong church from a
week mission, and to have gained dis
tinction as a writer and Editor, yet he
appears most modest. He seems to ig-
nore the notion of exploiting statistics,
(Which often mean so little), to show
what he has accomplished, as also the
making of unseemly comparisons OF
contrasts with his fellow clergy: but
omits all vain laudations and speaks
straight to the point in a manly chris
tian fashion which will commend itsel
to thoughtful men of all shades of re
ligious opinion. He says, in referring
to his Ministry, ''two things have eve,
been the objects before me. 1 hav'
tried to secure the favor of God let tn
favor of the world. &c, &c.

THE LOW PRICES FOR COTTON.

Discussing the present low prices
for cottOn-the lowest ever known-the
Baltimore Sun advances the explana-
ton that speculators, discOunting the
probability of an excessive crop, have
pushed the price down to 5.17 cents per
pound, but in making this figure, the
bears, it seems, have overdOne the
matter and a reaction was natural.
Prices of options are now, accordingly,
from 10 to 10 points higher than they
were two weeks ago. The small re-
turn to the planter Indicated by the
present range of prices is, of course,
much to be regretted. There can be
little or no profit to most planters on
cotton sold under cents a pound
Two years ago it was the fashion of
Southern politicians to ascribe the low
price of cotton to ''the crime of 1873,
but statistics of crops and prices since
1872 show that overproductiOn is the
cause of the planters's trouble. In
1872 the cotton crop of the United
States was 1884, ,084, 494 pounds, with
an average price of 22.19 cents pei
pound, whereas in 1898 the crop was
1867, ,372, ,O51 pounds, and the price at
present is about $50 cents. The crop
is four times more than in 1872, and
and the price, as was to be expected, is
four times less. Twenty-Five years
ago we produced 20 per cent of the
worlds cotton supply, but we now pro
duce 85 per cent. Our proportion o.
the worlds supply greatly increased
The increase is not due to reduced
production in other countries, but t.
the excessive production in the United
States.

A REMARKABLE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
John Wanamaker Has Been Its Superln-
tendent Over Forty Years.

"Out of and around Bethany Sunday
School (Philadelphia) has grown, not
simply the church, and the Union, but
social and industrial cooperative
system which reaches several thousand
families" writes William Perrine in
the Ladies Home JOuIndL' ''It in
cludes reading clubs, music clubs, clubs
for the purchase of coal, and incOr-
porated savings bank with deposits of
$3.50, 600 dollars invested under State
laws and State supervision; a dispen-
sary, the House of DeacOnesses, who
look after young women in distress or
in need of employment; college, in
which, at night, languages, music,
shorthand, bookkeeping, dressmaking
and millinery are taught to several
hundred students for a nominal fee;
House Of Rest at the seashore for girls,
and uniformed military brigade for
stalwart boys. Twelve thousands per-
sons have attended all the various
services of the church, the Sunday
School and the Bible Union on single
Sunday. The enrolment of the school
is past 5000.
''In all the 40 years of its existence
there has been no superintendent other
than the founder, John Wanamaker,
and few are the Sundays that he has
failed to be at his post. During one
half of the year he spends the entire
Sunday in Bethany, bringing his
luncheon with him, and making him
self accessible to any one. When he
was the Postmaster-Gener of the
United States he iourneyed from Wash
ington to Philadelphia every Saturday
night, often preparing his Bible study

BY HOWELL S. ENGLAND.

Delaware, It's thine to weep,
Lo, thy loss indeed is great,
Thou couldst prize but couldst not
keep,
Death hath left thee desolate;
Sit in silence, bow thy head,
Bayard, thy greatest son, is dead!
No invention deftly wrought,
Brought him plaudits or renOun,
His no poets subtle thought,
His no warriors laurel crown,
His no victory on the seas,
Mightier deeds were his than these!
He attained the loftiest place
Ever gained by statesman strong,
Bound our ocean sundered race
Into one, till taunt OF wrong
'Gainst the humblest Saxon hurled,
Rouses Saxons round the world!
Delaware, tits thine to mourn,
But it's thine to mourn in pride,
This, thine offspring from thee torn,
Stands transformed and glOrified,
And his fame shall rest secure
While the continents endure!

Special CQyrepOndcnce to the Times
A determined effort is made to intro
duce skirts in which the circular
fOunce at the bottom, that came in
last Spring, shall be SO prolonged as to
necessitate dragging drapery on the
streets or a painful effort to hold up
what is adapted only to a dress recep-
tion or an evenings entertainment.
Fortunately however, there are still
some skirts showing conservative out
lines and in the impending conflict be-
tween appropriateness and its cOntrar-
trary, let us not abandon hope in
woman's good sense. A recent attempt
to introduce bustles, met with only
ephemeral success: some time ago,
hoops and overskirts were expected
to reign, but both were relegated to
oblivion.
