PURITAN PRESBYTERIAN

'whosoever will. let him come. Here is
the way in which
PURITAN PRESBYTERIAN
puts it: "a convicted. sinner is found
standing at the gate of mercy and has
doubts about his right to enter He looks
up, and over the gate he sees this inscrip-
ton: Him that cometh unto me L will
in no wise cast out He enters and Is saw
ed. He finds that over the gate, inside.
are inscribed the words, All that the
Father hath from me shall come to me-
He understands it all then. The free and
sweeping offer is made to every man.
When the man has accepted it, he rejoices
In the knowledge that the love of God has
been set on him from all eternity, and
that the Father hath eternaily given him
to the Son. But the door of mercy, which
is salvation, Is only the first step of Pres
byterian Christianity. It is merely the
first rung in the ladder of the Christian
life or the likeness Of Christ. 1t is simply
the ground work OF all that follows in
the building of the Christ life. Possibly
too much stress. in past time. has been
laid on what Is variously denominated
as believing, being saved. regenerated,
entering the door of the fold, as If, when
that were done, all was done. That is
but the first point from which Paul says.
I press forward toward the mark for
the prize Work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling To believe is
a great achievement To be is far
greater achievement. l like Erummond's
translation of the apostolic words.
Changed from glory to glory He trans
lated the expression. Changed from char
acter to character that Is, from one de-
gree of character to another. The man
who has entered the gate of mercy has
but begun to live. Then. however, he
has in his being germs of the divine life,
which, with the cooperation of the spirit
of God. enable him to build up Christ
like character for this world and the
world of the future, so that when he Is
called hence Christ can take him and
present him faultless before the throne
of God "

Duluth Herald.
The ST. Paul G o b e supports the bill
originating in Duluth for the distribu-
ton of the railroad gross earnings taxes
according to the value of the railroad
property in each county and declares
that it's principal feature sis one that GER
tainly appeals to every ones sense of
fairness" Continuing its argument along
this line, The G alludes to the fact
that the fundamental principle of taxa
ton is that the locality containing the
property taxed should receive the benefit
of the amount realized by such taxation.

Mandelay" in a sweet voice. This was
the only bit of vaudeville in the perform
ance, and the play was strong enough to
stand without that.
Joseph Swickard played the part of An
thony Gumbug. a confidential agent, and
was as far from representing a true de-
tective as an actor usually is on the stage.
1t is strange fact that no dramatic au-
thor and no actor has ever succeeded in
bringing out a real detective or real
newspaper man on the stage
Emil Hoch was full of his part as DR..
Ludwig Schwartz. In fact. he was SO
carried away with it that at, one time his
stage oathsl took on a tinge of realism.
This. however, pleased the audience, and
the German actor evidently did not know
that he had used stronger words than the
text called for. The play will be contin-
ued for three nights with matinee

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press is now Wig

ing that the protective tariff be removed
from all articles controlled by trusts
There is no election near at hand, and
this explains the attitude of the leading
Republican organ of the state. When the
spring of 1900 arrives it will have naught
to say against trusts and will be shout
ing for a higher tariff. This is it's usual

An INNOCENT ABROAD.

''They met by chance the usual way
is the significant refrain which, in effect,
is being vocalized by Republican news
papers when alluding to the recent three
cornered hobnob between Mr. Mckinley.
Mark Hanna and Speaker Reed. The
point is pressed home daily, in these jour-
mails, that Tom Reed merely happened"
away down in Georgia, and, being there,
island, drop in on his old friend Mckin-
ley, jolly him up little and chat few
paragraphs about nothing in particular
and everything in general.
But all this apologetic phrasing is pure
and unadulterated buncome. 1t won't
wash. 1t is too transparent disingenuous
and Inconsistent. The logic of recent
Washingtonian events is all against it.
When did Jekyl island spring into proml-
nence as winter Mecca for political
leaders? How chances it that Reed
to the exclusion of so many other South
ern points, where. for the time being
there is no Mckinley, no Mark Hanna +?
The cold truth Is Reed might have gone
to Skaguay or the, Texas Panhandle with
fully as good a reason unless-unless it
was a strategic move on the political
. chess board.
"Ay, there's the rub The Republican
organs that are busily engaged in throw
ing dust in the public eye need not be at
all surprised should they notice a par
ticularly large wink in said eye 1t Is a
matter of record that Tom Reed never
made but one call on the White house
during the whole period of the last ses-
sion of congress. 1t is common talk that
the Maine man has been persona non
grata in that quarter for over year. 1t
Is also universal testimony that Mr..
Reed, in congress, antagonized almost
every measure that Mr. Mckinley ia
vored. Now that the war is over and
many of McKinley's pet schemes downed
by Reed, is it natural to suppose that the
latter journeyed down to Jekyl island to
gloat over the discontinue of his enemy i?
Hardly.
There was more politics in that spring
outing of Tom Reeds than the people wot
of. And if Mckinley, Reed and the unc-
tuous Hanna have their way about it, the
people will ''wot'' a good long while be-
fore they are let in on the ground floor.

of more personal nature, treating Of re-

Between low Drinks OF ragged clay
The rapid river takes its way.
It's heavy, tawny waters flow
As if their road they did not know,
Swirl off in loops, spread out in lakes.
Whose sandy shoals trail sluggish wakes
They gnaw away the tumbling banks.
Now down their leafy willow ranks;
They dwindle, till the dust blows round
Where fishes swan and men were drowned;
Then food the bottoms miles away,
Fence, barn, and house their scattered prey;
But yet. far back, the hills remain,
Which all their wanderings restrain.
o, mighty river, we may see
Our new democracy in thee.
No Rhine art thou, by cliffs beset,
With castles each parapet;
No Thames, of placid, even tide.
With grass lawns edging either side;
But strong and turbid, and perplexed.
Bv frequent whirls and eddies yexed-
At times an overwhelming fall
OF brute destruction-yet through all
Large wealth bestowing-grain and woods
Upspringing where once swept by floods
And so we know whate'er thy force,
Gods hills Will hold thee TO his course
