in the opening years of the century,
the church exercised an influence that
was not only respectable, but in many
respects salutary. But when the re-
markable group of pulpit orators that
had won for the church. despite its gen
eral faithlessness, this respectable and
salutaIy influence, passed away the in
evitable reaction set in. And when
Louis himself passed away Qll5), the
reaction became general. France, with

SERMON QUOTATIONS.

Eastern newspapers are discussing
the services of preachers from a finan-
cial standpoint-a controversy that
must necessarily interest a great ma
jority of the people of Utah whose mis-
scenarios go forth to preach the gospel
to all the world without purse or
scrip"
A dispatch was sent out from Mar
shalltown, Ia, the other day, stating
that local clergyman had declined to
preach a sermon in the soldiers home
for SO. The New York Tribune has
been making inquiries in relation to the
price paid for similar sermons and says
that the New York price is $3.50 per
Sunday. In some states it is more and
in others less, but all the ministers and
chaplains who consented to be inter-
viewed expressed sympathy for their
Iowa brother and united in the senti-
ment that "$S is no price at all for
sermon"
Their opinions would be entitled to
more consideration, perhaps, had they
sampled the sermon before rendering
judgment on the value.

mistakes. Has the president learned

Another strike is taking place at the
Homestead steel works, where the san
culinary conflict between labor and cap
ital began seven years ago today.
The present strike is orderly. for no
one breads a repetition Of the terrible

And yet a fear is expressed by those
who understand the situation that the
present trouble may become serious.

or compass, without rudder or ballast
In the end the ship was saved and its
precious freight high-spirited. in
trinsically noble and acutely intelligent
peOple-saved also; but not without
tremendous suffering and loss.
The leading minds in this period Of
national drifting were three: Monies
quieu, Voltaire and Diderot There were
others, as we shall see later on, but
these were the three greatest. Voltaire
G694-1TS), perhaps more than any one
else, was the characteristic representa-
tive of the age. Without definite aims,
having no fixed ideas of life or conduct
of government or policy, but quick to
see where misery and suffering were,
where wrong and injustice prevailed,
where hypocrisy or persecution held
sway, however yelled, he infused into
all his writings, embracing every de-
partment of literature, spirit of criti-
cism and attack upon the social and
political and religious institutions of
his time, especially the church, which
made him, so far as immediate personal
influence and authority went, the most
powerful parsonage of his age. The
church, it must be said, merited most
of the criticism it received, for it had
now lost both faith and character,
while as regards oppression of the peo-
pie it far outran the government.
But Voltaire, despite the brilliancy of
his ridicule, his satire and his invec-
tive. despite, too, the commanding po-
sition that he held as the greatest liter
airy man of his time, must give place in
power of thought, and in real influence
upon the opinions of his age to those
two other great thinkers and writers
whom we have named with him, Mon
tesuuieu and Diderot.
The genius of Montesquieu was so
different from that of Voltaire that at
first thought it might seem wrong to
associate them. Montesquieu was a
real philosopher. He possessed the gift
Of patient research. He based his

MILK AND HEALTH.

New York City is afflicted with an
unusually high death rate among chill
dren under the age of three years his
summer. Except in rare seasons of
severe epidennics the present record of
juvenile mortality has not been sur
passed.
According to the board of health this

the report of chemists and the opinions
of prominent physicians, the president
Of the board issued circular to The
sanitary officers of the municipality
requesting them 10 detail every avail
able man to investigate the milk sup
ply and to confiscate all that does not
stand the test.
@~"This is the most important duty

VII. PERIOD OF DOUBT AND
CRITICISM.

Never, perhaps, in the history of the
world was the principle of social de-
velopment that national life moves as
whole, dominated by the spirit of its
own age, more forcibly illustrated than
in the history of France during the sec
ond and third quarters of the
eighteenth century. The dominating
spirit in French thought during that
epoch was a spirit of doubt, of inves-
tigation, OF criticism. 1t was not a con-
structive age. although, as we shall see
in subsequent lesson, it was an age
of abundant theorizing. But it was an
age when, as never before, the opin-
ions, the beliefs. the fundamental con-
ceptions of society were put to the test
of examination and trial.
There were good reasons for this. The
fundamental conceptions of society
have to do with religion, and in the
