Topic for July Il, When Ii a Nation
Safes Deut. XVI, ILL.

a nation is safe when God is at the heart OF IT,
1t is never safe otherwise.
What are some OF our national perils. Tho
curse of strong drink, the insidious evil OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS. selfish greed for gold. unscrupu-
lous grasping after power. the discomfort and
anger OF the poor. Not one Of these dangers but
would vanish from sight and memory, like a
swamp vapor. before the rising Of the sun OF
Righteousness God alone can override political
misrule. Spite Of gold-cures and all other cures.
God alone can break the drunksrd's awful bond
age No act Of Parliament or az Congress can
purify a lustful soul; but God can. No arbitra-
tion board can make employers just or employees
patient. no aitruistic philosophy can transform
a miser into a generous man. no science can
bring peace to an inndsl; but God can do all
these things. There is no national danger IL the
nation has God.
How can we get God into our national iIfeg
In the first place. Christians must cease to shut
up their religion in their churches. IN IL IL not
for the market. IL Is not for the pulpit; il n 10
not for the caucus. IL is not for the pews-
Religion is not desecrated by contact with ,hs
world: IL is enervated by seclusion from the
world.
In the second place. Christians must practically
believe that God is stronger than the devil. IL
this were believed they would not be afraid TO
bring charges against law-breakers. prosecute
criminals. head revoits from parties and join
righteous minorities. A nation Is saved ny its>
men that dare 10 stand alone.
In the third place. Christians must stand TO-
gether- The reason why the liquor tranic Yields
its awful power IL not because Christians do not
hate II and want to fight IL. bur one man prefers
this method of warfare and another that. As
guerrillas. Christians are not to be feared by any
foe; in a phalanx they would be Irresistible.
In the fourth place. Christians should hold
their citizenship on high A country is not safa
till its citizens arc seeking the better country
The supreme loyalty TO once satherland-ls
ty TO ones Father in heaven. AS the
mammon Is the ruin OF a land. so the
other worldiinsss is it's salvation IL pr

homes.
Shall we despair OF our nation. them
Never. Till we despair of God.
Shall We count any reform too dinlcuit7
Not while a single man may draw upon all
Gods resources.
Shall we find fault with others?
Possibly, IL we have ourselves been PERI
citizens.
And what is IL 10 be a perfect citizen?
IL is to live for men. the nation. as faithful

Grand Jury Notes Found.

Prosecutor Pugh found the notes of the
prosecuting attorney who officiated with
the grand jury when John E. Sullivan. the
absconding county clerk. was indicted. 1t
is a valuable find. as the case would have
been very difficult to try had not these
notes been available to aid in the prose-
cution. They were discovered in a small
recess In the vault Of the Criminal Court
room, covered with dust and the writing
was partly obliterated on account of age,
but yet legible enough that 1t can be read.
An early trial was requested for Sullivan,
and when Prosecutor Pug began to gather
evidence he found his task was a difficult
one. all the witnesses having died or moved
away. This will greatly assist the prosecu-
tion, n much OF the case will be cleared
up by the notes.

$1,000, but ii was refused. The important
witness could not be found, and while Gal
win was out of the city Frank Littleton

had been reached and Judgment for 81, 900

vim kept one-third of the judgment and left

THE EcUMENIcAL CONFERENCE,

| The most important religious gather
| Ing of the year or of several years was
the Ecumenical Conference which has
adjourned after ten days session in
Carnegie Hall, New York City. Practi-
cally every civilized and uncivilized ma
ton of the globe was represented by
delegates and mission workers, it is ex-
pected that foreign missions will re-
ceive a new impetus from the meeting
While Protestant mission work began
with William Carey in 1892, the Ecu
menical Conference. for purposes OF com
parison. may be considered as marking
the first centenary of mission work
Within this hundred years the work
has gone forward from n single mis-
sionary to more than 200 missionary So
cieties: $4,000 missionaries, /. 500, 900 COM
municants, 10000 school auxiliary to
missions embracing q total of 1000. 900
scholars. The total of funds expended
on foreign missions is difficult of esti-
mate.
While this is a magnificent showing
of actual work accomplished, yet it
must be confessed that, of recent years
Christian missionaries have met with a
decided setback in certain countries
notably i'll India and Japan.
In the former the more intelligent
classes, those who nave ben educated
in English Colleges. and universities.
have drifted back to the religion of
their fore-fathers, il indeed they had
ever given it up, and have become
warm controversalists. In japan the
educated classes have broken with
Christianity in large measure, and
finding it impossible TO return TO the old
creeds make no pretense to religion of
any kind.
1t is to be noted, however. that, with
In n decade. missionary work has como
to mean much more than the mere
teaching of n creed to foreign peoples.
1t means the spread of Occidental civ
ilization as well. After finishing his
course in the theological seminary, the
young man who is going as Il mission
ary,goes to the medical college and not
infrequently the technical school as
well, 10 the end that he may be physi-
clan and instructor. no less than n
preacher OF the gospel.
The most hopeful sign at the close of
the first century of missions, is that
mission work has become thoroughly
practical.
