OF her heart to God tonight. Never
had the depth and beauty of human
service meant so much to her an now,
when human love, the love sanctioned
by Jesus and made holy by His bene-
diction, had begun to translate com
mon things into divine terms.
In her Bible-reading that night she
found passage in the sixth chapter
of Second Corinthians that pleased
her very much. 1t did not belong
first of all to the service of house
servant; yet Barbara felt quite sure,
as she read, that, if Paul had been
questioned about it, he would have
said that the teaching applied just as
well to ouse-ministration as to min
istration anywhere else. This is the
passage which she read: "Giving no
occasion of stumbling in anything,
that our ministration be not blamed !;
but in everything commencing our
selves, as ministers of God, in much
patience, in Affections, in necessities,
in distresses, in strifes, in imprison-
ments, in tumults, IN labors, in
watchings, in Hastings; in pureness,
in knowledge, in long-suffering, in
kindness, in the Holy Ghost, in love
unfeigned, in the word of truth, in
the power of God; by the armor of
righteousness on the right hand and
on the left, by glory and dishonor, by
evil report and good report; as de-
ceivers, and yet true; as unknown,
and yet well known; as dying, and
behold we live; as chastened, and not
killed; as sorrowful, yet always re-
| joicing; as poor, yet making many
rich; as having nothing, and yet pos
sessing all things"
"Have l been minister of God?
How often l have complained and
shed tears over little things as
have tried to minister to the needs
of this house Surely at it's very
worst / have not endured the hard
ships that Paul speaks of. l know
he is speaking of preachers, probably
of missionaries of the cross. But
am sure he means that anyone who
ministers to the real needs of life
is minister of God And, if | have
really been a minister of God, how
little | have realized its meaning!"

1t was the next day that Barbara
had a call from Mrs. Vane.
The old lady had met Mr.. Morton
and, reading his happiness in hi'
whole person, she asked him bluntly
to tell her all about it.

The War in south America.

Advices from the IsthTnus of Pana-
ma are to the effect that the Colombian
insurgents are showing increased &C
tivity between Colon and Panama. and
may be seen openly drilling along the
line of the Panama Railway. 1t is
stated that the Colombian troops are
doing little or nothing to check their
movements, and foreigners in the re-
gion are much alarmed at the situa-
ton.
This probably means that the Colom-
bian Government is pursuing a shrewd
policy in the premises. Were it to sup
press the disorders on the isthmus that
would probably prevent Intervention by
the United States. On the other hand,
if General Tribe TRIBES people are per-
mitted TO raid and loot, and appropri-
ate railway property, condition is ere

they want to go.

Marroquin, for example, is well aware
that he has nothing to fear from Wash

much an enemy to President Castro of
Venezuela as he is himself. He will
laugh at the hystericaL advice of the
Paris press to think twice before he ac-
cepts assistance from the United
States, because he is adequately in
formed that it is Castro and not he the
Administration is cunning for. Mario
quin is by no means ignorant of the as
phalt dispute, or of its merits, or of the
ardent desire felt in official circles here
to see it settled, forclbly If need be, in
favor of the Asphalt Trust. Venezuela,
therefore, is tie party to tremble at
sight of the North Atlantic Squadron,
and not Colombia.

yirginia's Next Governor.

The nomination of the Hon. Andrew
Jackson Montague to the office Of Cow
ernor of Virginia by the Democratic
State Convention at Norfolk last even
ing is matter upon which to congratu-
late the grand old Commonwealth, and,
as well, the Democratic party of the
Union. For the event marks return
of the organization in one State at least
to the principles and practices of truly
democratic popular government. and
the coincident abandonment of the
methods-often illegitimate-of machine
dominated politics.
The nomination of Mr.. Montague,
after brilliant personal campaign in
which his sturdy manhood, his ability
as a man of law and of affairs his
sterling character and reputation as a
wise and safe citizen and leader, have
been pitted against the power infiu-
ence, and patronage of a thoroughly or
ganized and well entrenched machine,
will be accepted everywhere as evil
dence that the Democratic party of Vir-
giDia still has too much of the old leav-
en- of revolutionary days to surrender
its independence of action and choice
to a boss to be ruled and operated
by him as do Thomas c. Platt tie
Republicans in New York and Marcus
A Hanna the national organization
of the trusts and monopolies. When
a great community like that of Virginia
shows the courage and ability to assert
itself against political close corpora
tion such as has controlled it for years,
and throw off the shackles of bossism,
the whole country is entitled to t. Se
heart. What has been possible 10 in
dependent. brave, and true men in one
State may be possible in others. and
in tie nation. and the encouragement is
to honest members of all political par
ties whose ancient American freedom o.
action has been subverted by machines.
The candidate of the Norfolk con-
vention win be one of the youngest
men who ever held the high office of
Governor of Virginia. He has not yet
passed the fortieth milestone on his
life's journey. His career as struggling
student, a school teacher, successful
lawyer, Federal district attorney. and
Attorney General of his State, has
given him the training. wide expert
ence, and knowledge of men necessary
to the distinguished and responsible po-
siticn which now he is called upon
by the enthusiastic voice of his fellow
citizens to assume. With such an exec
utive, we may confidently expect 10

NOTED and their rights defended. We
are entitled to believe that when Gov
ernor Montague shall be seated in the
chair, illegal combinations in restraint
of trade will have a hard time to
maintain a foothold in old Virginia,
and that the machine in her Demo-
cratic household will be smashed for
good, and consigned to the scrap heap.

this way of trading. They have need
ell our food products and raw materi-
ais, and had nothing to gain by levy
ing duties upon them. for the only eff
feet would have been to increase the
cost to the consumer. AT the same
time while our own manufacturing in
dustries .Ayere in their infancy, there
was still a large market for manufac-
tured goods in this country. and upon
the whole the trade was not altogether
Instantaneous to Europe.
But the development of our manu-
featuring system to such an extent that
upon many of the more important lines
we are not only able to supply our own
market, but have a large surplus for
sale. has created a very different con-
dition. and. consequently, an entirely
different feeling. 1t makes the trade
essentially one-sided. The foreign
goods are excluded from our mar
kets. while we are left free to
throw our surplus into the mar
kets of other countries. 1t is not in
human nature to submit very long to
such a condition as this creates in
those foreign lands that have been
trying to do business with us; and as
Mr.. Hollis admits, we have no right to
complain if they attempt to protect
themselves. Nor is the attempt likely
To prove altogether futile.

trade are generally bad. still eoun-

necessity of existence If a country is
shut out from all markets but its own,
to allow its own markets to be invaded
by the tariff protected, trust-controlled
products of other countries is to invite
almost certain Industrial destruction
Under such circumstances a country
must hold its own markets or go out of
business.
And in this connection another thing
must be kept in mind. If the exalted"
ambition of Senators Fairbanks and
Depew could be realized, and we should
obtain control of the markets of France
and Germany, 1t would mean the prac-
teal wiping out of the industries Of
those countries, and, as result. their

far our best customers. In trade. as
well as in fable. it is easily possible to

Protection and Reciprocity.

Judge Frederick W. Hollis, United
States member of the International
Court of Arbitration, at The Hague, is
in London, en- route to this country.
On being interviewed with reference to
European feeling toward America, Mr..
Hollis says some very sensible things,
and some other things that are not SEN
sible at ali. For example. he declares
that the masses Of the people in Eu-
rope feel friendly toward US. OF the
truth of this, there is not much room
for doubt. The great immigration
which has rolled in from Europe is
sufficient proof that the common people
of Europe do not feel unkindly toward
US, while the immigration itself tends
TO beget a sentiment still kindlier
1t is. though, morally certain that this
kindly feeling does not exist in any
thing like the same degree among the
upper classes, those who control the in
dustries. the finances. and the Gov
ernments of the Old World. There are
two reasons for this: First, the upper
classes of Europe are monarchical in
their sympathies, and secondly. we
have pursued a commercial policy well
