BRITISH AMBASSADORS SPEECH.

Compliments TO Americans

PARIS. Dec. Cat the silver jubilee
banouet of the British Chamber of Com
merce here this evening, the British Am
bassador. Sir Edmund j. Monsoon REFER
ring to the new diplomacy whicn Is
said TO have come into fashion during the
past year, said it was chiefly due 10 inc
enterprise OF the press, but also ~ was III
a measure due TO mother country inno-

AMERICAS CHARITY.
The ambassador added: Il am quite
ready to acknowledge that there Is much
good in the particular innovation occu-
plying my mind at the present moment.
America has charitably sent 10 England
the finest representatives OF her intel
lect and culture. and | think We may at
tribute in - little degree the happy de-
velopment Of the friendly feeling between
Great Britain ana the United states TO
the manner In which these representa-
tlves performed their tasks, especially
in their public utterances on both sides
of the Atlantic. / wish / possessed the
faculty of expression and the command Of
appropriate language which distinguished
Colonel Hay, the late Mr.. Bayard and
their eminent predecessors at the Court
Of St James. Such oratoracal gifts |
have not. but l feel the strongest desire 10
say a few words which may work to-
ward the end for which British am
bassador is sent abroad. 1t has not been
without much reflection and anxiety that
l decided to depart on this occasion from
the traditional limits by which a diplo-
matist Is hampered"
ENGLAND'S PLTABILITY.
Sir Edmund Monson then proceeded "a
remark upon the recent great outburst
Of feeling in Great Britain provoked by
the Fashoda incident, and said he ven
| tured 10 express the hope that the idea
| Of Great Britain being unduly squeezable
and prone to make graceful but impolitic
concessions is thoroughly exploded. Sir
| Edmund MonsOn concluded as follows
81 would earnestly ask officials In
power and unofficial opponents Of public
| opinion TO discountenance and abstain
| from continuance Of the policy of pir
bricks while il can only procure an
| ephemeral satisfaction TO a short-hveC
| Ministry. It must inevitably perpetuat'
| across the channel an intolerable irri
| tatiOn."

SECONDARY SUBJECTS.
There are still under discussion eight
secondary subjects which the Spanish
commissioners preached last week. in
GLIDING the status OF patents and copy

day handed TO Senior Montero Rios

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF the New Discovery In Med

Who Are Christians?

Sir,-Prayer as the expression OF low

OF a man who loans money at 10 ana

omitted.
Prayer moves the hand that moves the
world, but 1t is the prayer OF righteous
mana man who does right in the sight
OF God, without faith it is impossible
to please God" whatsoever Is not or
faith is sin"
The prayer OF an unbeiever is jsin.
Therefore all classes OF unbelievers are
cut of from the mercy seat.

man who turns his back on the Lord

The man who does not deny ungodii-
ness and worldly lusts. and does not hve
