ORIGIN OF A DIFFERENCE.


Part of the difference in form between
the teaching of Christ and that of the APP
ostle comes from the fact that st. Paul
preached the gospel along the lines of his
own experience" says the Living Church
P. E.) of Chicago. Certain critics talk
disdainfully about his metaphysical rem
dering of the grandly simple truths OF
Jesus, but st. Paul had to defend the
truth against philosophical attacks, and
he was wise to meet such attacks in the
most effective way. Christ was to him
philosophy as well as salvation, for He
was the fulness that fileth all things. To
him God in Christ settled every ques-
ton, both in the heavens and on earth,
and he was ever ready TO give to Jew or
Gentle a reason for the faith that was
in him. This controversy, like all other
theological controversies, is being over
ruled by the great Head of the church
for the intellectual and spiritual profit of
His people. Incidental harm may be
done in the confusing of mind and shak-
ing of faith for few timid believers, but
the good will be permanent and valuable.
Already it is sending out greatest inter-
prefers of Scripture back TO an earnest
and impartial study of the Epistles. with
the object of seeing things with Pauls
own eyes, rethinking his thoughts. and
stating them with fidelity and persuasive
ness. The result will be a larger appre-
hension of the value of the Epistles to the
church in our day, and a clearer under
standing of the necessity of completing
the picture of Christ in the Gospels by the
teachings of the Apostles

CHINESE PARTITION CERTAIN.
The situation on the Chinese coast that
has followed Germany's seizure of Kiao-
Chau has continued to hold the foremost
place in the attention of the world. No
body knows what will happen eventually,
but it is not likely that the great game of
Chinese partition is to begin at once. In
dut time, however, the Chinese empire
bids fair to go TO pieces. We have been
accustomed in times past to think of the
Chinese as several hundred millions Of
perfectly homogeneous people. AS a mat
ter of fact although they belong to the
great yellow division of the human race,
the diversities of type in the different
parts of China are greater than the diver
stiles among white men of Europe, and
there is less connection and by far less
sympathy among them than among the
discordant population element that make
up the present day conglomerate that we
know as the Austro-Hungarian empire.
There is an immense range of dialects in
China, and it often happens that the !
people of one neighborhood cannot talk !
with those who live in another four or five |
miles away. There is no such thing in |
China as a pervasive national feeling or |
an imperial patriotism. The various pro- |
vincial governments are not under firm !
control by the central government, and |
such military and naval forces as exist
are provincial rather than imperial. The |
Chinese of different provinces and sec
tons hate each other worse than they
hate the foreigners Of other races When
the movement arrives for a partition Of
China upon a plan that would not injure
European peace, the thing can be carried
out easily as was the German landing and
at Kiao-Chau.-From THE Pro-

CONDITION is THREATENING.

CONDITION IS THREATENING.
1.-The religious condition as it presents
itself to us is threatening, rather than in
a desperate or discouraging condition,
says the New York Christian Intelligent
Ger Ref0. 1.-The seriuos question is:
What of the next generation? If men
hold to religion and yet forsake the
church; if they try to serve God, do JUS
tly, and practice mercy, and yet not use
the appointed means of grace, and by ex-
ample, if not precept, teach their child
rem to value lightly the Sabbath, the
sanctuary, and the institutions of reli-
gions, will not the next generation depart
still further from the service Of God and
of duty toward fellow man? These are
questions which awaken solicitude. The
religious situation today demands some
thought and study from many points of
view. 1t calls very possibly for the read
justment of many ideas and methods. 1t
needs in the ministry the best the church
can give of native ability, thorough
training and intelligent, consecrated piety
1t needs on the part of the church mem
bers consistent living, cody lives, which
alone will convince the world of the worth
of the church and the religion it repre-
sents and promotes. Observation and ex-
perience combine with statistics to prove
there is no reason for Christian workers
to become discouraged, though there are
enough symptoms of religious decline to
demand earnest efforts and fervent pray
ers that il may not become general or
fatal"
