tion Of the rich, modern world Of which We
are part and OF our just claim as Christians
to the many advantages and opportunities
which science and art and multiplying re.
sources on every hand put Mt our disposal
Indeed, the very progress OF civilization 1t.
self seems to be bound up with the increase
and wider distribution OF what our fathers
called luxuries. For a Christian today to
content himself with the coarsest fare, the
cheapest raiment. the fewest possible con.
yeniences and adornments .or that dearest
spot on earth, his home, is to step from the
ranks as humanity marches forward. 1t Is
to become a follower OF John the Baptist
rather than Of Jesus. At rare intervals
even in these modern days, the call ia
the ascetic life comes with irresistible
force to an ardent soul, but that God
means to have most Of US strip our lives
bare Of everything save that which will
sustain existence at the lowest point Is not
necessarily Christianity. This, however,
does not relieve us OF the duty OF constant
and serious thought concerning our use OF
luxuries. The drift today Is toward excess.
Christians may be easily swept along by the
world currents OF display and extraragance;
which come to their shameful elimination
In dinners and balls that rival Rome In its
most prodigal and profigate days Christians
have no right to luxuries, when indulgence
means disaster to their spiritual lives and {.
faithlessness to their Master.

Deryishes Were Not Mnssacred.

General Lord Kitchener, in the
course OF a recent conversation with a
London reporter, gave an explicit
denial to the story that the killing of
wounded Dervishes was an organized
incident of the Egyptian campaign.
1t is wholly untrue, he declared, that
companies were told off even to search
for the wounded enemy, much less to
kill them. It is not denied that
wounded Arabs "were left to die on
the field in thousands" but that
could not be helped, since British and
Egyptian surgeons were fully occupied
in attending to their own wounded.
The Sirdar said that on entering
Omdurman he issued On order calling
upon the people to 60 out and bring
in their wounded, but only those who
had relatives responded to the appeal.
Such wounded as could be brought in
received every possible attention, and,
as matter of fact, between six and
seven thousand are now under treat
ment in the Omdurman hospitals.
