SECOND IMPRESSION.

A second impression-one does not
travel long in the East without learn
ing to admire the civilization which
England is spreading through the
world. In India she has done wonders
in the development of the country,
pushing railways in every direction cs-
tablishing schools, and creating a new
sense of justice. Travelling by land or
on the seas about India is quite as
comfortable as travelling on the con-
tinent. Englishmen are everywhere
and the English flag seems to float over
every valuable harbOr. Think %.at

tion! Its significance nc one can esti-

POWER OF EVIL

-FOUR IMPORTANT FACTS.

And now during several days at sea,
we have had time to collect the many
ideas suggested by these weeks ana
to compare our own observations with
those made by DR., Lawrence, in the
book already referred to. There are
four important facts which travelling
in the East must impress indelibly upon
a thoughtful Christian. More might be
given but space fOrbids.
The first visit in a missionary home
reveals-and a great revelation 1t is
too-that these men and women arc
mortals like ourselves, They live as
the rest of us do, and have quite the
same things and more to do and worry
them as we in America. Their homes.

"MAN WITHOUT A PARTY

In recent communication to
the Colorado Democrat, Mayor S.
M. Jones of Toledo, sets forth
briefly his reasons for being "a
Man Without a Party" and for
expressing the belief that political
parties are not only not necessary
for carrying on the affairs of gov
ernment, but that they are men
ace to liberty
Not in the United States is there
another mayor that is so promin-
emily before the people at this
time, and it has all come about
through Mr.. Jones refusing to wear
party brand, and in his indepen-
dent Inauguration of reform move
ments. Among other things, Mr..
cobNc pugos
"We must always bear in mind
that the idea uppermost today is
that of individual salvation; we
call it by various names, success"
being the most common, and so far
as my observation goes, the main
purpose of political parties, after
once getting into power, has been
to keep in power. Indeed, | think
it is true that there has been no
moral issue, at least no great moral
issue, between the two leading
parties for the last quarter of a
century, and to this lack of moral
purpose may be charged the failure
and disappointment that is so gen.
eral with the results produced by
our government. | believe the
hope of the country lies in indie
pendent voting, not always in an
independent movement, but in the
fact that more and more intelligent
people will hold aloof from any
party, refusing to wear party brands
or party collars; they will be led
to vote in the way most distasteful
to the practical politicians, that is,
rs independents to vote for princi-
Piles rather than parties, and in
this way the realization of the
equality that Jefferson stood for is
to be accomplished"

THE BADGE OF HONOR.

There should be no delay on the
part of the people of the state to
respond to the call for contributions
with which to purchase medals for
the Colorado boys who served in
the Spanish and Filipino wars. 1t
is said that $500 will cover the
cost of these articles, an amount
which it should not be difficult to
raise by popular subscription.
Such testimonial of the peo-
pies esteem for the soldiers valor
will be most highly priced by him,
and will be treasured by his chill
dren and his children's children as
priceless memento of their an
cestor's heroism.
There is another point that en-
ters into the matter, and that is
that the proposed badges of honor
will guard against impostors. The
state is full of men passing as he
roes of the late war, when, as a
matter of fact, they are hoboes and
crooks, taking advantage of the

The Consumption of Beer.


1t is estimated that the consump-
tion of beer in the entire world a.
mounts to 81 ,oSO, 10000 per annum.
This seems to be an almost incred-

strange when it is considered that

throughout the world in single
year would make lake three and

A Patriotic Service--Glorious Day

A Patriotic Service--0loriouS Day
Yesterday was a good day at the
Presbyterian church. The attend
ance was exceptionally large for
the hot weather. The Sunday
school was the largest during any
summer day. The best attendance
however, was at the evening ser
vice. The pastor Rev. @. A. Berg
er having been away the Sunday
before, preached a sermon to COM
memorate the nations natal day;
his topic was: "The patriotism that
wins" Among other things he
said: There never was a time
when there was so much to lend
inspiration to national develop
ment as the present. The last year
has been the most patriotic and
pathetic on record. Paans of vic
tory have alternated with dirges fer
the dead. The requiem for the
patriotic soldiers is still ringing in
our ears. Memorial day services,
peace jubilee, peace conferences,
Philippine war dispatches, strike
reports, new trust formations and
combines on every hand make a
strange medley for national dis
course. But there are lessons for
us to learn today.
at is difficult MS yet to give a
Just estimate of the Spanish -Ameri-
can war and its momentous issues.
One thing we can state; that God
was in the war. God renders to
nations, as to men, according to
their works the Spaniard, to
the Cuban, to the American.
"Ours is Christian nation. We
have for our motto: In God we
trust But we know that there are
trusts without God.
"The crowning token, as it is also
the most prolific cause of our pat
riotism, is seen in steady and ever
increasing and enlarging triumph
of Christianity among us. The
loud boast that Christianity is los
ing its power is shown to be moth
ing but foul breath. Great evils
do still confront us and great
work yet remains to be done, but
there is no reason for fear or dis
couragement, while there is every
reason for courage, hope and con-
fdence in regard to the future of
our nation.
To-day we see the angel of lib
erty and the angel of religion, arm
in arm, ascend to the skies and an
nounce that. America will all be
given up for right, while other ma
tions catching the glad news will
shout to other nations: America,
the North and South. the East and
West, and all her Islands have be-
come the Lords, whose right it is
to reign"

The Christian Science Lecture.


A large and eager audience
greeted Hon. VIM. G. Ewing at
the Methodist church Saturday
evening to hear his lecture on
Christian Science.
In introducing the speaker Mr..
w. R. Rathvon said it was not
strange that so many people de-
nounce Christian Science, for they
do it, he said, because of what they
think it is, rather than because of
what it really is, for they do not
understand it. He also expressed
his qualification at the treatment
accorded his people by the Meth
odist board of church trustees, say
ing he believed this was the first
time in history that Methodist
church had been given to the use
of Scientists. He believed it an
omen of good and rejoiced in the
evidence of good will and brother
hood which the act expressed.
Mr.. Ewing said it was not his
intention to explain much of
Christian Science, for that would
be impossible in one evenings
lecture, but he wished to satisfy
his audience that they worship
God as earnestly, as sincerely and
as reasonably as do the other
churches. The speaker cited many
instances of miraculous healing in
Bible times, and said they didn't
believe that God had grown tired,
or cold and indifferent, since the
days of old. He showed that, af-
ter all, there is not so much differ
ence between their belief and that
of other churches, only that they
go a step further in the matter of
faith. They believe that when
Christ said "The works that | do,
ye shall do" He was speaking not
only to the twelve, but to all His
followers in all ages. They be-
live the scriptural assertion that
"The prayer of faith shall heal the
sick"
In conclusion the speaker quoted
statistics showing the remarkable
growth of the Christian Science
church, Notwithstanding the ven
omous contumely which has been
so often and SO persistently heaped
upon it,
Mr.. Ewing is by no means an
orator, but he is unquestionably
gentleman of profound thought,
sober Judgment and integrity of
purpose, facts that cannot help but
strengthen the cause for which he
is so earnestly laboring.

A Chinaman's Fate.

Philadelphia Pressi And while we're
talking Of men killing themselves
nice topic, isn't it2--herc's a story
told me by a man lately retarned from
San Francisco. It's q true story. too
In San Francisco there is a Chtneses
secret society, the laws OF which are
as strict and unchanging as those OF
the Modes and Persians. One ~ tho,
members of this society told somS OF.
It's secrets-an offense punishable ~
death. He was TO he tried in the usual
way before a tribunal of the society.
The night Of the ordeal was fixed.
The eulprit was represented by ABLE
counsel, but the sentence was death
as was expected. An executioner was
called from an adjoining room. hs
was a strapping big Chinaman ana
wore one Of those hideous wooden
masks that art critics think so beau
tiful. He carried a double-edged
sword fully five feet long. To test the
edge he folded a newspaper In eigns
parts, and the knife went through
those eight thicknesses of pa7cr as II
1t were a bit of butter in suwmer
time.
The culprit was put upon his knees.
and another Chinaman, also on ms
knees, faced him and caught the
traitor by the cue. He drew the cul-
prit's neck toward him, the smock was
pulled over the shoulders, and with
one mighty swing the double edged
sword descended. Like a fash IL Glove
the air and then-stopped. a frac-
tional part of an inch separated the
sword from the victims neck. Very,
very gently the execnfioner brought
the weapon down until IL just touched
the traitors neck. Then, as 1t is q
crime 10 kill n man in San Francisco,
he stopped. Ee brought the sword to
his side again, turned to the JUDGES
and said:
1.-THE culprit is dead"
The newly executed got to his feet
and said something to the judge. Inc
Judge did not heed-for the cuiprlb
was dead. He tried to speak to the
Cinnamon, who were hurrying o
the hall. But he spoke TO deaf ears.
To all intents and purposes he was a
dead man.
He made his way into the street ID
the first thing that caught his eye was
a huge poster proclaiming to all Chr
patown that he had been executed that
evening. No one would speak TO him.
no one look at him-he was a dead
man-just as dead as IL the execution
.r's sword had in reality descended.
For a whole week that mar wan
dered about Chinatown, the posters
proclaiming his execution staring him
in the face at every turn. Not a crust
of bread could ne bes-not a mouthfui
of water. His people knew him a.
dead-he was past, gone, buried.
/ And so one day he wandered up into
the American portion of San Francis
co and stole a revolver from q messen-
ger boy, who was showing 1t TO some
| companions. Then he ran down INTO
| Chinatown, sat down on the pavement
| beneath one OF his WI death notices
and blew the added brains out OF his
poor Chinese head.
