may be expected to bring. The sum OF
these items can only be inferred from the
indications already given. Where a solid
county service has been established 1t dis
penses with about T3 per cent OF the fourtn-
class offices. and has, done 1t with little
friction at first and with full and hearty
concurrence in the end. The substitution
of carriers has already allayed any discon-
tent that has grown out of the abolition OF
the offices. If the proportion which mas
prevailed in the full county cervices thus
far organized were to rule through a gem
eral extension of free delivery as above
outlined, 1t would lead to the discontinuance
Of 942O offices, involving an annual saw
ing. reckoning the average compensation at
SO, of 50, 759, 400. On the same basis there
would be saving of $2,5O0O0O through the
discontinuance of star routes.
The increase of revenue which Will be
directly effected by free delivery. and which
must be taken into account, can also De
approximately calculated. The gross re-
ceipts of the postal service for the year
ending June 80. 1900, were s1O2,3545l92s
OF this amount. sS2, 195091. .96 came from
presidential offices, leaving $50 159. 1918 as
the receipts Of the fourth-class offices. A
critical examination Of the reports shows
that the Increase in the revenues last year.
outside of the free delivery offices. was = AZ
per cent. But the increase in Carroll county
after the establishment of rural delivery,
even greater at first, was fully 10 per cent
for the year. showing that an increment of
Isl per cent can be credited directly to
the introduction of this service.
The figures of other experiments confirm
this calculation. Applying that percentage
to the receipts of the last fiscal year outside
of free delivery Offices 1t points as the i'm
mediate fruit of the general extension of
rural delivery to an increase in revenue OF
81 513. 9I6.50 Indeed, this Is believed to be
a moderate estimate. AS the extension
would require considerable period for its
the revenues would be constantly
growing before it's complete consummation.
and the proportionate increase would be the
greater. But taking the conservative ex-
hibt. the net result of the extension of
rural free delivery to 100000 square miles,
or all the elegible portion Of the country,
would stand thus:

disciple could imagine him refusing to
suffer or take up his cross in the mat
ter? How much had the members of
the First church ever suffered in an at
tempt to initiate Jesus? Was Christian
discipleship a thing of convenience, of
custom, of tradition? Where did the
suffering come in? Was it necessary,
in order to follow Jesus steps, to go up
Calvary as well as the Mount of Trans
fguration?
His appeal was stronger at this point
than he knew. It is not too much to
say that the spiritual tension of the
First church reached its highest point
right there The imitation of Jesus
which had begun with the volunteers
in the church was working like leaven
in the organization, and Henry Max
well would, even thus early in his new
life, have been amazed if he could have
measured the extent of desire on the
part OF his people to take up the cross
While he was speaking this morning,
before he closed with loving appeal to
the discipleship of 1900 years knowl-
edge of the Master, many man and
woman in the church was saying, as
Rachel had said so passionately to her
mother: 81 want to do something that
will cost me something in the way of
sacrifice. I am hungry to suffer some
thing. Truly, Mazzini was right when
he said, ''No appeal is quite so power
full in the end as the call, Come and
