nent Regarding the ShumrOcIs.
Glasgow Jan. 24.-Sr Thomas Lipton
has requested the Glasgow Citizen 10
contradict the misleading statements
which have been published regard ng
the new racing cutter Shamrock. VII en-
is to contest for the Americas cup.
Many new ideas have been suggested
he says, and in some cases thcy have
been adopted iii the construction of the
cup challenger. but the issue at stake
Is too great to induce TIE designer ana
builder of the cutter to experiment to
any extent.
While the new boat is expected to be
constructed on improved lines in COM
parison with the Nalkyre III there will
be comparatively little metal used in
the construf ton of the Shamrock.
A crew of GO picked men has been en-
gagged, and Sir Thomas Lipton is nego-
tiating for the purchase Of the late
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschi!Gs steam
yacht Roma, of ,023 tons, to convey his
large party to America. The builders
are making rapid progress in the con-
struction of the Shamrock, and she will
be launched carly in April.

The Mental Eye.
Thousands upon thousands of persons
handle our silver dollar, but few hap
pen to observe the lions bead which
lies concealed in the representation of
the familiar head of Liberty. Frequent
ly even careful examination fails to
detect this hidden emblem sof British
rule; but, as before, when once found,
it is quite obvious. For similar reasons
it is great aid in looking foTSan object
to know what to look for; to be readily
found, the object. though LOST to sight
should be to memory clear.
Searching is a mental process similar
to the matching of piece of fabric in
texture or color when one has forgot
ten the sample and must rely upon the
remembrance OF Its appearance. 1t the
recollection is clear and distinct, recog-
milton takes place when the judgment
decides that what the physical eye secs
corresponds to the image in the mind S
eye; with an indistinct mental image
the recognition becomes doubtful or
faulty.
For correct and accurate vision it is
necessary to acquire an alert mantal eye
that observes all that is effectively Wis
ible, but does not permit the subjective
to add to or modify what is really pres

dangerous competitors, not with New-1ork

has been secured chiefly through the efforts
Of Senators and Representatives from other

that in certain respects this metropolis strange

Washington for very shame to do as much FOR
themselves as others are ready to do for them.

THE METHODIST CHURCH CONGRESS-

A noteworthy religious event of last week was
the meeting in st. Louis of the Methodist
Church Congress- a non-offica body, whose OBJ
ject It Is TO furnish free parliament for the
exchange of thought in the denomination. One
Of the topics for discussion was the attitude of
the Methodist Church toward the Higher Crit
icism. Its attitude may be taken as one Of
opcnmindedness if the views Of the speakers
fairly represented the mind Of the Church.
Methodsts, apparently, are not so committed
10 any Of the traditional views concerning the
Bible that they are unable to make use OF
whatever new light may be thrown on IT, This
attitude is in complete accord with the Script
ural maxim, Prove all things; hold fast that
which is good"
Another paper which excited much comment
was "The Message of the Church to Men Of
Culture" by Professor VI. d. Learned, OF Phila-
delphia. He began by saying that the Church
has become secuarized in a measure. At the
same time, the undue emphasis which 1t lays
on dogma tends to ALLEVIATE men Of intelligence
Such men sometimes also find the sermon TO be
mechanical, a product Of the study, and the
service an empty form. The Bible study of
the Sunday schools is superficial and fails TO
bring out the real spiritual meaning of the
sacred volume. But 1t is In its attitude toward
certain dogmas that Professor Learned sees
most to criticise He declares that many men
Of science have practically abandoned the
Church because they cannot and will not sub
scribe TO the accumulated dOgmas OF the con-
"fession or catechism or discipline. although
they are sincere believers In Christianity. II
"behOoves the Church 10 re-establish the active
interest Of these men" To do this the Church
must ''liberalize the confession by eliminating
"antiquated dogma and meaningless non essen
"tial or unsettled doctrines. and insisting upon
1.-THE simplest fundamentals as found in the
Scriptures, leaving all matters Of Interpretation
"to the individual believer The Church can.
at must, emanclpate itself from the thraldom
"of medieval tradition, and open its eyes to the
"progress-the evolution, II you will-of culture
"and recognize that Christianity has new prob
'lems and wider range Of application with
leach successive age"
Professor Learned would also carry his
scheme OF reform into the Church's educational
work He believes that the whole system Of
clerical education ought TO be liberalized and
made more modern. He thinks IL would be a
good thing TO transfer the direction Of Church
schools and colleges from the theologlcally
trained clergy TO professional and scientific edu-
Gators In engaging teachers for these schools,
he thinks 1t more important 10 test their schol-
arship than their doctrinal sOundness. "If the
Church schools" he says, ARE not thus con-
Quoted they must lose their prestige in the
race with strictly secular schools Of the same
'cass The Church must not resist scientific
inquiry, but must rather adopt the scientific
method and welcome its results The Church
"must keep within It's proper sphere Of activity.
