Topic Letting Christ Have His Way.
Scripture Reading.-John xiii, l.
9.
Nearly all recognize the existence
of classes among men and are salts
fed that these distinctions are neces-
sary. Rulers and ruled-that is
we'll. Feet washers and the feet
washed are the two great divisions
of mankind. Servants and the
served have ever been and will ever
be distinguished socially, intellectu-
ally, physically and spiritually.
The highest, the most to be desired
the worthiest place seem to be that
of the washed and served. Noble,
titled, powerful, holding possessions
how desirable this place seems, yet
He who was undoubtedly the grand
est, fairest, best specimen of the
races which the ages have produced
declared Himself, ~ am among
you as one that serves He was
the feet washer. "He that will be
greatest among you let him be the
servant of all. "
This looks like reversal of all
previous ideas of the fitness of
things. Closer thought shows us
that it is the only road to self
mastery and preparation for ruler
ship of others.
There are two important facts in
this action of Christ. "If 1 wash
thee not, thou hast no part in Me. "
"lf l then, your Lord and Mister,
have washed your feet, we also
ought to wash one an1ther's feet. "
The first truth is that no man
can save himself or be pure by his
own efforts. However closely the
rich young ruler may have lived to
the rules of pure morality he yet
lacked one thing. He was free from
all vicious habits, he was morally
upright. The low and degrading
vices had no allurements for him,
but were repulsive. There was no
hardship to him in being pure. But
he was selfish. He was proud. He
was sympathizing with men who
were vicious and tempted, poor and
degraded. He had no drawing to-
ward them or desire to help them.
They repelled him, and he spurned
them. He was pure and loathed
their uncleanness. The idea of
helping them never came to him,
much less the thought of mingling
with them, of going down among
them and giving of his possessions,
of imparting of his own and himself
to them. That would be a sort of
Endorsement IF their evil. 1t could
only degrade him and sully his puri-
ty and deplete his possessions. Go
and sell all that thou hast and give
to the poor and come and follow
Me, " was the death knell of all his
pride and the revelation of the hol-
lowness of his piety. He needed
some one to save him. He was lost
when he thought himself safe.
Christ, becoming poor for our
sakes, is able to save us from our
pride and sin. He must wash us
and purify US till we love Him su-
premely.
The next truth we need to learn
after we have been washed from our
pride and sin is that we are to wash
Others. This is TO many Christians
the hardest task. 1t is sweet and
heavenly to be saved. but to 60 af-
ter some one else and wash him is
hardship. Ye ought to do it.

WAR A THING OF THE PAST.

The commercial interests of the
nations of the world are becoming
more complex and more reciprocal
every year So much is this the
case that war is becoming more and
more unlikely. 1t is almost impos-
sible for war to be waged between
the British empire and the United
States, for England would be COM
PEELED to seek to destroy the secur
ity of her own investments and the
United States to seek to destroy the
market for her own productions.
Such, in degree, is the reciprocal re-
latiOnship of every nation. This ex-
plains the settlement of national dis
putes by international congresses
and the effort to obtain arbitration
treaties. This is due to the pro-
claiming and leavenipg Of the Rospei
of Christ and is evidence Of comina
universal peace.-Rev.AH H. W. Reed,

Arsenic of Soda

About year ago we published the
directions given by Prof. Kedzie of the
Michigan Experiment Station for
making and using the arsenite OF soda
spray. A number of our subscribers
have reported to us that they used
this spray last year as a substitute for
Paris green, and were we'll pleased
Prof. Cordley of the Oregon Expert
ment Station gave it trial and was
wholly successful with it when he
prepared the spray personally, but
when it was prepared by Others injury
to the foliage sometimes resulted.
The Ohio Experiment Station has
just issued bulletin in which the use
of arsenite of soda as substitute for
Paris green is recommended. White
arsenic in soluable form is said to cost
about One-third as much as Paris
green and it gives no trouble in the
way of settling. If plain solution of
white arsenic were used the foliage of
the trees would be burned.
The following are the directi res Civ
en- for preparing this spray:
Dissolve two pounds Of commercial
white arsenic and fonr pounds of car
bonote of soda washing soda) in two
gallons of water and use one and one
half pints to a barrel of Bordeaux
mixture $50 gallons).
The easiest way to make the solu
ton is to put both the white arsenic
and carbonate of soda in a gallon of
boiling water and keep boiling about
fifteen minutes or until clear liquid
is formed, then dilute to two gallons
One and one-half pints of this solution
should be added to each barrel of Bor
deaux mixture. If'used without the
Bordeaux mixture it is liable to burn
the foliage As there is nearly always
fungus to contend with, it is recon-
mended that the two sprays be always
combined when there is occasion to
spray for the Goblin moth or other
insects

Popullsts.

OUR fusion friends have promptly
taken the cue and switched to howl
at the President, (and Mark Hanna }
because he looked before plunging this
country into the terrors of modern
warfare. They are in desperate straits
for an issue and the fall elections are
coming on. Free silver has spent its
force, and since the government re-
ceipts under the Dingley bill have
been increasing, being thirty-three
millions for M arch, or considerably
more than ordinary expenses, there is
no argument in that, and the howlers
are mighty glad to use the war news
to keep them in ammunition.

The pope's offer of mediation be-
tween the United States and Spain,
not being considered by this country,
he has now bestowed upon Spain his
prayers. We are of the opinion that
even prayers will not save the "greas-
ers" from the "tarnallist" thrashing
they ever had, and they have been
licked every time they ever fought on
anything like equality. Uncle Sam
is making preparations to fight Spain
ana wipe her off the face of all maps
but Europe; and will also be ready to
tackle any other decayed nation that
hops into the ring. :.

More SCAR Reeds" Needed.

We notice that "a populist" in The
Tribune charac.erizes "Czar" Reed as
"BgSs" Reed. we believe that he is
somewhat d a boss as he will not let
them thresh over old straw for days at
a time. AS speaker of the House he
has had no superior not excepting
Henry Clay or J. G.. Blaine Section
5 of Article | of the L. S. constitution
was virtually dead letter from 1883
until Gear" Reed ruled that mem
bers being present and calling for til e
Yeas and NAYS and hiding in the cloak
when the roll was called did not con-
stitute absence.
AS to the deliberations the last two
weeks, the intervention res luton
passed the House several days sooner
than the resolutions of the Senate.
When it came to conference OF both
houses, the House conferees were APP
pointed Immediately the Senate spent
time discussing whether or not to con-
fer, which was finally done practically
accepting the idea of the House and
President.
Last Monday when the resolution
formally declaring war was passed,
the house passed it in one minute and
forty-one seconds, it hung up in the
Senate one and one-half hours, where
they tried to attach to it an recogni-
ton amendment, recognizing the
New York Cuban junta.
Look over the record of measures
passed by congress the last few years
and you will find it to be true that
nearly every measure passed the House
in less time than the Senate including
revenue bills that must originte there.
When it come to shutting down on
"threshing over old straw" and speak
ing for "buncombe" then "Czar" Reed
is boss. We hope that it is not q
"Republican war;" but the Senate by
It's week of deliberate consideration"
tried to get all the political advantage
it could.
