Evidently there is cog loose in Mr..
Bryan's logic again. Instead of having,
thanks to the free coinage of silver, a
greater amount of money per capita
than the United States, Mexico has
only about one-third as much money
per capita as this country possesses.
Besides, every dollar of United States
money, under the gold standard, is
worth twice as much as a Mexican dol
lar. So that, if we take purchasing
power into consideration, we find that
our $24.03 per capita is worth $4S.O6 in
Mexican money, as against an $s.41
per capita in Mexico.
If it is a good thing to have large
circulation, then free silver, as shown
by the experience of Mexico, does not
supply that benefit, nor does the free
and unlimited coinage of silver in Mex
leo add one penny of value to the sill
YER when it is coined. After that metal
is minted it is worth no more or less,
under free and unlimited coinage in
Mexico, than it was worth as bullion.
The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer never did make so cents worth of
silver worth 100 cents, and never will,
Mr.. Bryan to the contrary notwith-
standing.
While Mr.. Bryan is sounding the
praises of Mexico's financial system
that country is striving to abandon it,
and in few years we will see our
southern neighbor take its rightful
place among the progressive gold
standard nations of the world.-Cin-

Each man has his own personal linn

our power The deed for which praise
is bestowed on a man may have been
done without much effort on his part,
though it could not have been done by
us. On the other hand, that which i<
easily and even naturally done by US
may only be done by another by strenu-
Gus effort and the overcoming of his
natural inclination. 1t is the soul which
thus puts constraint upon his natural
temperament who is the true overcomer

Magazine and Book Notes.

The Tribune almanac comes to us with
its usual array of good things, and ihval-
liable statistical information. The
Tribune almanac does not try to antici-
pate events of the year included in its
year whose happenings it records has
passed. The number for 1898 is the
largest ever issued by the Tribune, con-
tanning $40 pages and having variety OF
new features. For a man who has occa-
sion to refer in the course OF year to
some book of reference for public sta
tistics, the platforms OF parties, the
names and salaries of government and
state officials and the returns of recent
elections, there is no more valua bic source
of correct informal ion than the Tribune
almanac.

these boxes, heavy, too, when full of
books, between them.
During each recitation perhaps three or
four children will be called upon to re-
cite, usually in alphabetical order, as the
names are written on the teachers list, SO
that at the lesson it is known pretty nearly
who will have to recite, and so t. use, and
perhaps few others, learn that particular
lesson. One teacher, however, sadly
muddles them up in their calculations,
and calls now on a girl who hadn't ex-
pected to recite for two lessons to come,
and then on one who had recited the very
last time, and these two girls names are
as far apart in the alpha bet as they could
very well be.
There was weeping literally and
crashing of teeth, you may be sure.

christian EaGcESor day.1
Another anniversary of the Christian
EndeavOr movement has come. The past
year, like ali preceding years, has Leen
one marked With wonderful blessing.
Progress and advancement have been
made along all the established lines Of
Endeavor work, and new features have
been introduced which give promise of
meeting with great success.
The topic and the Scriptural references
are very appropriate for the day. Ami
versary occasions should not only be
spent in pleasantly reviewing the
achievements of the past, but also in
looking forward to the duties of the fu
ture and in receiving new inspirations
to grasp and to perform them.
In the year to come we should do
"for Christ and the church what needs
to be done The topical references sug-
gest several needs, which we should
strive to supply.
l. The work of Christ and the church
in the world today demands consecrated,
liberal givers This is taught in the
topical reference in Exodus. Here we
have picture of the children of Israel
making their free will offerings for the
tabernacle. They all gave. Each one
gave what he had to give. They all
gave willingly and literally. All were
asked to give, whether they had gold,
silver, brass, blue, purple, scarlet, fine
linen or goats hair, and those who gave
the goats hair, when it was all they
had to give, We're as much commended
as those who gave gold silver or pre-
cious stones. The work of Christ S king
dom today needs money as never before.
It has been and is being seriously Grip
pied for the lack of money both at home
and abroad. Christian people have the
money. If they would give as literally
as they are able, there would be super
abundance. Will we do our part in Civ
ing?
2. The work of Christ and the church
in the world today demands consecrated,
willing workers. The Israelites were
not only to give, but to work. every
wise hearted among you," said Moses,
"shall come and make all that the
Lord hath commanded" Work as well
as money is needed to advance Christ's
kingdom in the world. Consecrated,
willing workers are needed in every de-
partment of Christian activity. Will
we do our part in working?
3. Consecrated giving and working
will require self sacrifice. This, how
ever, should tot cause us to hesitate.
Self sacrifice is characteristic of Chris
tianity. ''Whosoever he be of you"
says Christ, that forsaketh not all that
he hath, he cannot be My disciple"
duke xiv, 33). The opportunities for
giving and working to effect today are
wonderful, and we should rise to these
opportunities regardless of the cost.

1t can easily be imagined that in very

OF an hour l have seen them work no
