DEwEr RErREArING.

According TO reports sent by Lord
Roberts TO the British war office. Gen.

retreated toward the Orange river
The late movements of the Bocr gem

POLITICS AND ETHICS.

Bishop Hereford. iu the Nineteenth
Century calls attention TO the fact
that the growth OF moral influence upon
the politics OF Christian" nations as
very slow. He argues that with nine
teen centuries of christian" teaching
the nations are sim. IN their conduct
toward one another distinctly un.
Christian and immoral Governments
do not shrink from doing under the
name OF politics what individuals
would be ashamed Of doing The rules
that are supposed 20 govern no private
intercourse between man and man are
often entirely disrosarded when the
question is OF politics.
The preIat, points out several rea-
sons Tor this anomaly. with a Ger-
man clerical author Pastor Naumann,
Dr. takes the position that the teach-
.ru no the Master were net intended
os rules % political conduct for the
simple reason Tint The conditions OF the
Roman empire did not permit Interior
cnce by the people in political affairs.
Another reason is. hc thinks. that the
moral training OF the children IS no
longer effective Under the names of
liberty and evolution" they are left
very much TO themselves, and they
form their moral code largely according
90 their own IDEAS.
The remedy suggested Is greater
e1rucstness OF the teachings OF the
churches and the schools. coupled with
more activity OF ethical societies.
The question discussed Is one OF the
most Important OF the present time. Il
deserves the thoughtful consideration
of an Interested In public affairs But
the bishop does not lay bare the root
OF the evil 70 which he calls attention.
II IS really more serious than lack OF
knowledge OF right and wrong. It is
