of the gospel and trylng to save men.

 l A superintendent of labor declares, that
 Christ's word is not put forth with all
 the glorious promises, without ringing
 in lot of church doctrines. Another insists that the minister is simply to set forth the character and life of Christ and apply this life and duties to to-day. These widely varied answers have
 still some things in common. Beneath
 them all is the feeling that the pulpit is not the place for theorizing or theo-
 logizing, but that it is living thought in
 application to life that is wanted. Yet
 the answers are largely partial. Politi-
 cal economy Is not in place in the pull
 pit. Religious and moral principles
 should affect political and social theo-
 ries. They will not of themselves de-
 eide them. No man can insist that one
 theory of the state is alone Christian.
 Christ as an ethical example Is a neces-
 sary part, but not of all teaching. The
 word of forgiveness, the promise of
 help, the presence of God-these are
 needed The plain gospel or the "glo-
 rious promises" as men ordinarily use
 these phrases, are not enough. John
 Wesley said in 177S: "I find more profit
 in sermons on either good tempers or good works than in what are only call ed gospel sermons. The term has now become mere cant word. Let but a pert, self-su cient animal, that hath neither sense nor grace, bawl out some- thing about Christ or His blood. or jus tification by faith, and his hearers cry out, What a fine gospel sermon." The danger of cant is not past, and there is no greater danger to true life or effec- tive preaching than cant phrases The gospel, too, is not merely a word Of for giveness, but a message of a life that is to be lived out in all the relatio of existence. Preaching must be as wide as life itself.
 Ft UT demands the church may make as to the preaching it hears. It should be first, religious. Man needs to have God brought to him. He needs the faith in the invisible and the love of the Father. He needs it for courage. for comfort, for inspiration, for life. The preacher may not have great eloquence or knowledge, but he must come with the presence of God in his own soul. iiot Witll " cl uo dDuul NrDu, put WlIn a message spoken for Him, spoken with and with power over heart and conscience. It must be secondly. ethical and practical. Men must be i convicted of sin. Moral impulse and in- ! spiration must be stirred. A new and higher vision of duty must be given. l Truth is not Christian unless it has for life, and the preacher must apply it to all life, individual, social, business, political. Thirdly, the sermon must be sincere. The man must be be- lind it. Fourth, it must be rational | md real The preacher must know the spiritual world of which he speaks. He must know also the every day world lbout him. He must know men and heir thoughts their problems and their leeds, knowledge which no sixteenth century theology will give him. It must ,e 9 fresh and vital message.

The original ' Mick that threw the brick was there and bore an immense sign on his back | to establish his identity. Not only was i the order of weary wanderers repre- esnted but the "King of the Hoboes' himself honored the function with his presence.
 And then there were bod carriers jockeys, Chinamen, Scotchmen, sailors, drum majors and others beyond num- Der In fact the floor was a mass of bright colors and the quaint antics of the costumed dancers drew forth laugh ter and applause from the unmasked spectators in the gallery.

The Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, faintin gand dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine Is a godsend to weak. sickly, run

Remarkable Royal Wedding Just
After Last Funeral Bell.
WILHELMlNIA ONLY WOMAN RULER
Queen Victoria's Death Leaves the
Throne of H Hand Alone Ruled by
Fair Hand.-The Queens
Wedding.

While london is draped in funeral
black and royal purple in token or
mourning for the Queen who has pass
ed away, another capital, not far re
moved from ,he British metropolis. is
decked in holiday garb for the wedding
feast of another Queen ON The thresh-
Old OF life. The last echoes of the pas-
sing bell THAT has tiolled for the soyer-
eign lady who is dead will mingle with
peals of the chimes which rang for her
who was married Thursday. Less
obvious, however, than are GIhe con-
trasts between the spectacles presented
Iby London and The Hague are the
analogies in the life histories of
Victoria and Wilhelmina, whose
careers have crossed ONE another i'm a
manner so remarkable AS THE girl
Victoria, six;y-three years ago, was
the hope of decaying and well-nigh
extinct dynasty, so is the young Queen
of theNetherlands of to-day almost the
last representative of the House of
Orange. Queen Wilhelmina ascended
the throne at approximately the same
age as had been attained by Queen
Victoria at the time of her accession.
These condolences, which are purely
accidental, may be supplemented by
Others wherein the play of chance was
more or less affected by the inclination
and an exercise of the will ON the part
cf The ,wo royal maidens. Thus each
Of them reigned three years before en-
sring into the bonds of matrimony;
each chose for her mate a German
prince, and in each case the match
was an affair of the heart. The we'd
ding day of Queen Wilhelmina comes
Within three days of the sixty an.
niversary of the marriage of Queen
Victoria and Prince Albert, which
event occurred in The chapel of ST.
James Palace ON February 10, 1910.
To make the analogy complete, the
chickering's with the Dutch Parliament
over tine naturalization of the consort
OF Queen Wilhelmina, the citle and
rank to be given and the emoluments
10 be enjoyed by him are quite similar
in general character and in detail to
the controversy in British councils
over the status of the prospective hus-
band of Queen Victoria just prior to
her marriage. If There be any virtue
in signs and omens the reign of Queen
Wilhelmina should be long and pros
porous, and should add TO the glory
and strength of the kingdom and eN-
tensive colonial empire over which she
rules, One could wish the youthful
and winsome Queen of Holland moth
ing better than that her life may con-
tlnue to develop analogies with that
of her illustrious prototype, and that
she may live Ito be as sincerely and as
universally beloved as was the excel
lent woman who so long occupied the
British throne.

Conspicuous by their absence from
the wedding of Queen Wilhelmina to
Prince Hendrix" on Thursday were
the members of the princely house of
Wied, for the Queens treatment of
Prince William of Wied can only be
described as partaking of the nature
of a jilt. Her most intimate friend
and cousin, Princess Pauline of
Wurtemberg, had married Prince Fred
erick of Wied, and it was all settled
that the Queen was to marry his
younger brother, William. The news
was published far and Wide that the
match was all settled and the young
Queen certainly treated him as am ac-
cepted suitor, so that when SHE sud
DENLY gave him the cold shoulder and
displayed a preference for Henry OF
Mecklenberg- -Schwerin instead he had
good reason ito feel bitterly disap-
pointed and badly treated. These
sentiments are notoriously shared by
his mother, who is princess of the
reigning house of the Netherlands, and
by his sister-in-law, Princess Pauline
whose formerly devoted friendship fo1
her royal cousin at The Hague has un-
dergone such a change that she did NOT
even congratulate her ON her engage
ment.
1t is not generally known that THE
younger princes of Wied are iri the
line of succession ito the throne of Hol-
land. Queen Wilhelmina's next he'll

Grand Duke of Sake Weimar, who, be-
side being her cousin, is lilkewise ons
