saxation of couaties for the year 1893
as issued by State Auditor Dunn. III
ii does moi encroach upon your space

exclamation why this report does not
correspond with the statistics given
ii the Legislature Manual? Mr.. Dunn
gives The total tax levy for Beltrami
county rs CAS-, SS2-3
The Legislative Manual on page 562
gives the total as s31, sos. 6S.
Mr.. Dunn gives 355, 5A acres on the
tar rolls, and It's total assessed value
g 33l. 30: while the Manual only gives
sg ss4 acres. with q total assessed
valuation OF 81, SIS, $50.
Mr.. Dunn gives average rate OF tax
alton in Belsrami county 2i.5s mills.
The Manual gives the average as
I6.s mills. Why Should there be so
great d difference? One table prepar-
e and issued by the State Auditor;
The other prepared and issued by the

EDDY ON THE PORTO RICAN

Ths trouble with congressman is that
they are not mind readers. They vote
on bill thai requires Immediate at
ssation, only TO discover that their
constituents wake mp with different
Essw of the matter. People who are
ousei rs clans before the vote is taken,
howl like maniacs afterwards. They
fail 10 instruct their congressman
how shey want him 10 vote, and then
Eanf 10 butcher him for not reading
sheir minds. On this, my friends,
hinges all the trouble about the Porto

SELF-DENIAL WEEK.

The Salvation Army stands fore
most in the work OF charity, and
settle financial perplexities by de-
priving themselves not only OF COM
forts but necessaries as we'll during
this week which Is known as Sell
Denial Week. The money thus secured
is sent to foster their work in foreign
lands, and at home.
Besides their missionary and relief
work, the Army hasthis year mostur-
gent work OF relief on hand. A fearful
famine reigns in India. Not less than
SO, 900, 0G0 of Hindoos are on the verge
of starvation. Salvationists are
linked together in all lands in q
strong bond OF true brotherhood and
grand rallying for the relief OF the
famine stricken people in India is
being made. The local workers have
already raised large SUN by cellec-
tions and voluntary sacrifices.

infected the business world and the So
cial and political life Of our civilization
with an infection that is bound to
spread, The church introduced the
world to Christ, but according to the
present trend of things the world is in
fair way to assert its independence
Of the church and to learn OF Christ
direct, In truth, the church needs to
cast on much OF its heavy toggery Of
aogmas and traditions, and to revise
its ideals and objects and methods,
and also to quicken its pace, IL 1t is to
keep its place in the lead OF the worlds
moral progress"
Many churches in the eastern states
have adopted the practical view OF
Christianity, as taught by Mr.. slo-
oombe, and their number is rapidly in
ereasing. The Christianity of the COM
ing century bids fair TO be of a broad
er and more practical type than any
form Of it which has been preached
since the death Of its founder.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-10-05
PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

The Rev. Samuel slocombe, pastor OF
the Fourth Congregational church of
San Francisco. has created a sensation
by resigning his pulpit because his
church did not practice the Christianity
it professed.
Mr.. slocombe's idea of church work
is to carry the teachings of Christ into
everyday life, and as one of the meth
DDS Of accomplishing this he thinks that
the church should institute for the gen
eral public reading rooms and places of
evening entertainment. These he be-
neves are in the legitimate province
of the church and would do much to-
ward combating the evil influences
which lead the young astray.
At his service on Sunday morning
last. Mr.. slocombe gave the church
some hits. but his ideas are sound and
are gaining more and more credence
among thoughtful people. The regula-
tion pastor and the narrow-minded
member each came in for share Of
Mr.. Slocombe's criticism in figures that
are so apt and well-chosen that they
deserve special emphasis. He said in
part:
while lave no desire to indulge in
a tirade against the churches. l must
confess to a growing conviction that
churchianity and Christianity are get
ting further and further apart. Church
es which should be so many centres Of
active moral force and far-reaching
spiritual benefeence are often more like
hospitals for moral invalids or homes
for the feeble-minded The soothing
syrup of consolation is preferred to the
tonic Of truth. and the minister who can
be a pleasing nurse has his hands full.
On the other hand. the earnest call TO
duty and vigorous action in the great
conflict between good and evil is for
gotten before it is well uttered. 1t eth
er falls on soporiic ears, or it is dis
counted as professional enthusiasm,
hollow and insincere. In truth, there is
a deplorable air of unreallty about our
church life which causes practical men
10 fight shy of it to the injury of all
concerned"
The essential truths of Christianity,
however. constitute a more potent fac
tor in the worlds life today than ever
before. Christian common sense has
