LORD ROBEitTs' FAREWELL AND
WELCOME.

For century England has not given
to a returning general such an outpourins
OF national enthusiasm as tilat with which
she has just received Lord Roberts OF
Kandahar, who is now to be Earl Rob
erts of Kandahar, a knight of the Gartar
and have the added honor Of having his
title go to the female members OF his
family.
And Lord Roberts has earned all that
he has gotten and more, for he produced
Organization out of chaos and by his genius
South Africa that would have teen sac
ridced by the well meaning folly of the
officers III command when he arrived
Lord Roberts comes back to England
WITH record that t.as not been equalled
for century OF successes in the field,
but in our opinion the hardest task Of his
life still lies before him. AS commander
in-chief of the British army. he will have
to deal with the conditions that Sir Car
ret Wolseley met &hen he was first ap-
pointed commanier-in-chief. Lord Wolse-
ley appreciated clearly the needs OF re-
form in the British army. He saw that
promotion went by wealth and blood. and
rot by merit He saw every indication
of Anticipated methods and laissez faire
policy from watch it could not be hoped
to keep England in the front rank Of the
great military powers Of the world. And
Lord Wolseley, after ten years Of ser
vice, steps out Of the commandments
in order to make room for Lord Roberts,
and by so doing, while the London Times
congra tulates Lord Wolseley on what he
has done and gives him full credit for
his wishes and for the obstacles he had to
contend with it says that Lord Wolseley
has failed in carrying out what he first
set out 10 do. THIS failure. says the Lon
don Times, is perhaps largely due to the
fact that man is unable TO see at sixty
that his reforms are perhaps as much
out of date as were the conditions which
he found when he came himself into
Office
From every side friendly and hostile
criticisms of the fundamental orsaniza-
ton of the British army have been pour
ing in. Reckless bravery and self sacrifice
are not alone sufficient. If they had beer
the dervishes would have ana.nilated LORD
kitchener at khartoum, but wisdom is
profitable to direct in military matters
no less than in the ordinary affairs o.
daily life. Lord Roberts carries in his
hands now more than any other one man
he future welfare and prestige of The
British army. 1t is a terrible RESPONSE
bihty for any man to have and Lord Rob
erts has. we feel sure, the cordial wishes

wisely and act strongly.

EMANCIPATION TO CUBA.

An interesting situation has been re-
vcalea by the recent publication of the
census Cor Cuba. This census was com
pleted en- October &C. 1889 ana a year

THE ROCK OF AGES.
lSelectcd Tor The Times.l


They drank of that spiritual Rock
which followed them; and that Rock was
Christi. Corinthians ~, 4.
What are these strange words? Where
in the Old Testament do we read of the
Rock following them? We read of Moses
striking the rock at Horeb, III the begin
ming OF their long wandering in the will
derness but not one word of it following
them afterwards.
st Paul IS here using q beautiful old
tradition Of the Rabbits. They said that
the rock which Moses struck at IIoreb
followed the children of Israel through
all their forty years wanderinGS, and
that on every Sabbath day when they
stopped il stopped also, and when the
elders called TO il, Flow out, o Foun-
tain," the sparkling water gushed forth
This beautiful old story st. Paul turns
into an allegory to teach us, as by pic
ture, the deepest. highest truth Whether
that rock followed them or not, he says,
there was One Who did follow them;
from Whom flowed the living water-"and
that lock was Christ" Christ followed
them Christ the Creator, the Preserver.
The Inspirer, the Light. the Life, the
Guide of men and all the universe. 1t

Herein is d great mytery Something OF
what is meant. however, we may learn
from that great and wise man Philo (who
was st. Paul's teacher before ne became
a Christianl. who was himself so near to
the Kingdom of God, that st. Paul often
in his epistles uses Philo's very words
only putting into them Christian mean

Therefore is God rightly called 9TH,

Rock" because on Him all things res

the world. being made, ruled and in
spired by Him alone. Therefore He is
rightly called the Rock of Living Waters,
for in Him are hid all the treasures o.
wisdom and soul, and from Him they flow
forth freely to all who cry to Him in thei
thirst. To be joined to Him is life; to be
separated from Him is death.
Again, the one thing that remains un
changed is that Rock. AS we look bach
over the past year and century nov
closed forever what changes do we see
Kingdoms and thrones have passed away
and the map OF the world altered again
and again; change and decay and unrest
abound The Rock of Ages alone remains
the same. The Rock that supported
Moses, and David, and Daniel, and the
Apostles, and martyrs, all through the
long dark ages; that Rock is our one and
full refuge now.
AS we recall our broken vows. our many
shortcomings, our feeble strivinss, our
cold devotions; where can we look for
never failed us aud never will?
Standing on the threshold of this new
century our hearts are solemnized by the
vast responsibilities and new duties which
await u.s. We would utterly faint, but we
know that that Rock is sure a hiding
place from the storm and tempest-a
shadow and refreshment to the weary.
1t will follow and help us in the future,
as it has led and supported us in the
past What then need we fear?
Let us go forth to meet our destiny with
a stout heart and child-like faith, saying,
not with our lips only:
Rock of Ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy side healing food,
Be OF sin, the double cure,

CURRENT TOPICS,

A philosopher of the nineteenth century
said:
The good of ancient times let others

The editor of the Kansas City Star seems
to take the same view. He says:
The luckiest person probably who has
ever lived on this old round earth is the
american citizen who in this year OF grace
1900 is near to middle age. That condition
affords a standpoint for comparison that

THREE ATLANTIC LINERS ARRIVE
AFTER STORMY VOYAGE.

NEW YORK. Oct. 6-Three of the big
Atlantic liners which had encountered
very stormy. weather and high head seas
on the way across, landed their passen-
gers here today They were the City
Of Rome, of the Anchor line; Umbria,
of the Cunard line, and the Calabria,
Which~iss in the Anchor line service from
Mediterranean ports. All brought large
number of passengers, those on the CAL
abria, because of reported bubonic
plague at Naples, being subjected to a
careful examination at quarantine before
they were allowed to the city.
= Among the Umbrias passengers were
three Protestant bishops and many cler-
gynien. y Two of the bishops, Rev. w.
B. Derrick, of the diocese of New York
and Pennsylvania, and the Rev. B. Tuck
er Tanner, of the diocese of Kentucky
and Tennessee, who came on the Umbria
are of the Afro American Methodist
ecumenical council recently held in Eng
land. The third prelate is the Rev.
Knute Henning Gezelius Won Scheele
bishop of Visby, Sweden. He was ac-
companied by his wife and will repre-
sent King Oscar of Sweden at the BIZ
centennial anniversary of Yale. While
here the bishop will visit Scandinavian
congregations and colleges.
While the Umbria was crossing, w. A.
Rich, cabin passenger, accompanied by
his wife, died from a complication of
diseases. His remains were brought
here and will be sent to his late home
at Wilmington, N &C. Mr.. Rich, who
was fifty-six Years of age, was the
auditor of the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
way.
