We include in this article few books
devoted purely to recreation. Three of
these are books about indoor enter

three books are young Folks Enter

Easy Entertainments for Young Peo-
pie" and Eureka Entertainments"
The other books deal wholly with
outdoor life. Horace G. Hutchinson's
1.-THE Golfing Pilgrim on Many Links"
will be in demand, because in the abb
sence of much practical illustration of
the sport, most of our readers can find
out about it only through it's litera-
ture.

Victor Neesen, is a short work, but it
contains much valuable information
about many things that wheelmen and
wheelwomen ought to know.
plain Directions for Acquiring the
Art of Shooting on the Wing will be
consulted by many who will find that
practice and something of a natural
gift are worth more in this direction
than any number of literary re-
ceipts
A volume of the out of door library
is devoted to Mountain Climbing and
consists of independent chapters by
Edward L. Wilson and other authors
of their experiences in various parts of
the world. This form of recreation,
within reason, is one of the most SEN
sible and health-giving that we know
Of. and we hope that the perusal of
this book will incite some of our read
ers to realize the delights of some of
our own Montana mountains

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

PRESIDENT McKIELEy's Message is
one OF the most exhaustive aud CON-
prehensive documents that has ever
left the portals OF the White House.
he meets every issue boldly, but
automatically, and leaves no doubt in
the minds OF the public as to his posi-
ton upon the great questions now con-
fron ing the nation. His discussion of
trusts. from . political standpoint is a
gem, and will go a long way towards
shaping the policy Of the next National
Republican Convention.
He has endesvored to force the sill
YER question as an issue by declaring
in unmistakable language for the gold
standard as 9 means of maintaining
1.-The parity OF the metals
We do not agree with him in his
dealing with the Philippine question
and regret that his innate spirit Of
right and justice has caused him to
bow to the DEGREES OF the avsricious.
With this policy the doctrine of inde-
pendence goes out and the principles
OF our republic are ignored both IN
this instance and that of our attitude
towards the Trsnsvaal Republic.
The references to the lynehing OF
foreigners and our own citizens awak-
ened q sympathetic response within
our bosom and will be q source OF
qualification to every iustice-loving
patriotic person in the United States.
Taking all in all, the Message is q
good campaign document, capable OF
severe criticism. but it is nevertheless
about the best eff ,ial paper which
could have been sent forth at this time
dealing as it does with complex ques
tions which are far from settlement
and which have thoroughly divided th'
people Of the United States relative Il

pline, and not to be interiered with At
all bY the European brethren. This il
the plan in embry c-its realization il
another mstter. By this plan the Vicar
Bishop and his followers believe they
will secure the respect and recognition
OF all the other churches in South Afri-
ca and the world in general. They
will be able to perform all civil aud re-
ligious ceremonies without let or him
drance."
It would seem therefore that the Sc
verest blow which Bishop TURNER has
received has been at the hands OF the
man whose cause ne chsmpioned.
Just as be Was about to reach the
goal and secure a well-esrned victory
before the General Conf nee. he il
attacked from the rear q manner
which not only disables him, but Grip
pies the work in South Africa.
Bishop Turner is more conservative
however, in dealing with tn matter
than we expected for in the VOICE o
Missions. he says:
But the truth is Brother Uwane lef

and he has carried out his contemplss

This is not the end OF the controver
sy and we have no doubt but that th
resourceful Bishop will be again in th
saddle soon with all of his old-tim
skill and energy.

DR.. TEfFr'S WORK.

WE have received Institutes of
Moral Philosophy" by LYMAN B. TEFFr,
D. D.. President of Hartshorn Memori-
al College, Richmond, Va. 1t ia one of
the sblest and most scholarly produc-
tions that we have ever read. The
subject matter is systematically ar
ranged and the principles exhaustive
Iy, but simply and Interestingly dis
cussed. AS a textbook. it is gem as
source of Information, it's value can
hardly be over estimated.
a glance at it's contents brings to the
readers attention any topic under dis
question. while the sub-heads, printed
in bold faced type and the body of the
book in large. clear characters, make
the work so attractive and useful as to
win from even the critic unstinted
praise. The author says:
"This treatise owes its origin to q
deep recoil from that science and phil
oeophY of morals which makes no res
| ignition, or only Incidental recognl-
ton of God. The attempt TO divorces
moral science from sacred Scripture
theology, and religion has given Us {
science with no principle of unity, 8
philosophy without ultimate truth OF
final cause. and a code OF morals with
out obligation-a solar system with nc
central sun or bond of gravitstion. Til
a better philosophy shall prevail, prac-
teal morals must decay"
He lays down the fundamental prin
ciple of faith. There can be nothing
stronger than the following:
Cali philosophy, science, or thought
presupposes q certain basis or starting
point of acce pied truth. knowledge il
grounded in postulates, truths accept
ed without proof, incapable of PROC
and needing none. They need n,
proof because no healthy mind can dis
believe them. They are incapable o
proof because there is nothing NOR
fundamental and certain upon whicl
} to establish thell."
This is unique yet true statemen
of the case. CHRIST stated it palmer
but hardly with more effectiveness.
The chapter analysis is to as q ne'
feature, and it's worth is realized at
glance. He defioes the difference bs
tween ethics and moral philosophy

ter for q chapter. He declares it to
