While the far Eastern question is still
in condition dangerous to the peace of
Europe, the near Eastern question is
likely to cause trouble again. Owing to
the discovery of a plot of the Macedonian
revolutionary committee TO murder
King Charles, of Roumania. in the in
terests of Bulgaria, those two states are
on the point OF war. Should they pro-
ceed TO hostiiities the whole Balkan pc
ninsula would be affected and neither
Russia, Turkey, Austria. nor Eng and
would be uninterested spectators As it
stands, the quarrel apparently is one
solely between two small neighboring
states. But there is room for a suspi-
eion that there may be outside poIiti-
cal interests behind it. We are mis-
taken if what is left of the century has
not yet some diplomatic and perhaps
war surprises in store for us
The evening times., 1900-09-18

The British Parliament will be dissolved
cn the twenty-f1fth Of the present month.
and general elections throughout Great
Britain and Ireland viii follow As the
government of Lord Salisbury has repre-
sented the national sentiment in the war
in South Africa, and hence is on the crest
of a wave of popularity there is no doubt
that large Conservative majority viii be
returned In the ministry which viii be
formed upon the assembling OF the new
Parliament on November l. il is considered
probable that Lord Salisbury Will take the
premiership without a portfolio, turning
the Foreign Office over to either Mr. Bal
four or Mr. Brodrick; that the Marquis of
Lansdewne. whose mismanagement of the
War Office is believed to have led to some
OF the earlier disasters of the war against
the Beers, will be retired. and that his
place will be taken by Mr.. Chamberlain

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Topic For the Week beginning
Sept. o, "Our simple Duty"
Text, Luke xvii, 7-1O.

"When ye shall have done all those
things which are commanded you, say:
We are Improbable servants. We
have done that which was our duty to
do.'"
1t is profoundly humbling, but very
helpful, to just estimate of ourselves
to take this thought home TO our
hearts. Most people are apt TO over
estimate their own Importance and to
feel, even If they do not express it in
words, that the performance Of re-
ligious duties of any kind should be
recognized as deserving of praise.
1t is by no means easy to find those
who will consent to do the work need
ed In the church To teach W the Sun
day school, to net as an officer to take
department in the league and put
time, money and hard work into II and
then find others apathetic or contrary
Is very trying to patience and Chris
tian sweetness Some keep on year
after year. In disregard of all obsta-
cles and lack of appreciation, because
they realized their deep indebtedness
to God and cheerfully do the little
service possible for them out of full
affection to Jesus and for love of His
needy ones. 1t is enough that God
knows their hearts. 1t never moves
them TO hear others say, "No one will
appreciate It." They are not seeking
applause, not even appreciation. In
glad companionship with the Master,
with songs In the heart, they are glad
to do a little. When they look at II
all, they feel very little, because SO
much needs to be done and strength
Is so small 10 do anything.
What n mistake TO think we confer n
favor on God by serving Himl Who
can merit anything by the strictest
observance of His laws? In flying, the
birds must obey the laws of motion
ana Of atmospheric resistance, gravita-
tion and muscular eXertion. But all
they get out OF 1t is ability to fly. Every
command Of God is simply the stating
of n necessary law of spiritual life. If
we observe In strictest fashion every
