PRICES MAY GO UP.

The scarcity of Bessemer pig iron
has alarmed the trade in the East
Practically the entire output of the
last six months is controlled by the
great steel companies. 1t is also stated
that there will be a serious deficiency
in foundry iron in spite of the fact
that new furnaces have blown in"
This indicates to the best judges of the
markets that the high prices in pig
iron will not only remain at their pres
ent stage, but may advance again.

Improvements which Nd been made Of

the people, for the citizens had re-

the Filipinos, which left no possible way

government had been established in the

The conflict once on, however. l have felt

that all such effort could only prolong the

The only real service we can render

our Government to those high ends for
which all legitimate Governments are in

THE GROWTH OF RELIGION.
Love ~ MIGhtier in Saving Men

Love ~ MtShticF IN saving Men
Than Force.
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church
was crowded yesterday morning when the
Rev DR.. Bristol the pastor. preached a
sermon on the development of religion.
President Mckinley did not attend the
service DR.. Bristol selected his text from
II Corinthians. iii:2: For if that which is
done away was glorious, much more that
which remaineth is glorious"
The pastor declared that development
is progression" and drew an illustration
from the Iabors OF the botanist, who plants
the seed that becomes a flower bearing
plant the geologists who trace the growth
of the earth, and the astronomer who
studies the stars and declared that every
thing of divine origin appears to be under
this law.
From Genesis on" said the speaker,
there is one continuous grand develop
ment, but the climax of perfection can be
reached only in the fullness of time.
The study Of epochs," Dr.. Bristol said,
is interesting and instructive" and he
added that he desired to refer in his ser
mon to two great epOchs, the first being
that of Mount Sinai and the second that
Of the Mount of Beatitude or the sermon
on the mount OF the first of these epochs
he declared that it opened a new era TO
thought and brought about a grand move
meut in harmony with Gods wisdom.
The same spirit does not prevail in both
epOchs" he said but they are not con-
Trajectory" He described the people Of
the days Of Moses as not being of the
highest order of mankind but the very next
thing TO It, and then said that God found
these people prepared to be taught and he
wrote thou shalt and thou shalt not"
From this declaration came the low moral
and civil conditions which ushered into the
world a new era. An intensive but not ex-
tensive system of religious life came from
IT, Great reformation ideas must be-
come intensive" the preacher declared,
before they can become widely diffused"
To support this ASSERTION he referred to
Luther and Wesley as eXpoHents Of religious

liberty, and then said: God touched one

and through them the teaching of the
noblest ideas of man; but these teachings
we're but a promise OF a greater life tc
come. God did not speak his best word at
Sinai He reserved 1t for the beattude
when he spoke OF sympathy. For man to
see God in the olden time was death; but
now to see him through Christ is ever
lasting life"
DR.. Bristol declared that the whole dis
course called the Sermon of the Mount
was like the beaming OF sunlight through
the darkness, and that II the law was given

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-Miss Helen
Gould has written to Dr.. Josiah Strong,
President Of the League for Social Service,
on the question Of keeping Roberts, the
Mormon Representative-elect, out Of Con
gress. She says in part
1T is inspiring 10 note the enthusiasm
with which Ilen and women in different
parts OF the country are taking up the
movement against having man with three
wives retain a seat in Congress. The
necessity for concerted action Is great, IN

realize there is a strong sentiment back OF
them: and I hope the endeavOr TO spread
everywhere in our country knowledge OF
the true conditions existing in Utah will
be successful. for certainly then nearly

influence toward the expulsion Of Roberts

Constitution directed against the practice
of polygamy.

THE TRICKS OF SIMON.
The Rev. DIR. Radcliffe RebuI<es Men
Who Bid for Grace with Gold.

The Rev. DR. Radcliffe, pastor OF the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
preached last night on the experience of
Simon, who wished to purchase with money
the power Of the Holy Ghost Simon was
necromancer, said the speaker. and he
wished to acquire new power He at
tempted three different tricks. The first
was to enlarge the powers of money.
Here the speaker diverged from his text
and said that not even a government could
make money.
1t is easy for us TO abuse Simon" he
continued. but it is often our desire TO
purchase place and power in the church
This is as much blasphemy as was Simon 5
desire"
What money could not do was then
enumerated.
1T will not buy wisdom. 1t will not
procure spirituality but money is good
thing, It is not the root OF all evil
although the love of money is. 1t is always
true that there are better things that are
unpurchasabe than there are things that
are purchasabIe After all, the world is
evenly balanced. The world was not made
for the rich, bu- for humanity.
We are tempted to listen only for the
ring of the silver and follow the glamour
of the gold, forgetting that the best things
of life are not purchasable.
The second trick Simon tried was to
transform a shadow into a reality His
baptism, however, was without power. He
could only perform external things and
Jesus summoned him to repentance for the
thoughts OF his heart. The essence of sin
IS in the thought; the Judgment of things
is in the heart.
The third trick Simon tried was to
purchase q gift-the Holy Spirit This was
beyond the human hand to get or give.
Round about us constantly men seek
to buy spirituality, to purchase the grace
of God They try to put God under obt-
cations for their attendance at church, for
their names on the church roll. but the
very nature Of salvation forbids it, It is
love, and love cannot be purchased.
Back of mans beneyolence, back Of
his good habits, back Of his outward ap-
pearances, comes the judgment of God
Simon signs the warning to Us night
Life is not trick. it is a reality. It
summons men to the service, not of the
word but of the heart
