Looking at Trust1
From the Inside


While calling upon Mr. John A. Nc
Call. president of the New York Life
Insurance company, found that Mr..
Mccall was at work upon an address
to be delivered before the national
convention of State Insurance Oficials
at Columbus, Ohio, in which he ad-
vocated exactly such federal corpora
ton law as that proposed by Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Archbold, and for
the same reasons. "If," said Mr.. Nc
Call, "a state chooses to exercise its
full powers over foreign corporations
(that is, corporations formed in other
states,) 1t need not stop short OF abso-
lutte exclusion; 1t may consequently, SO
far as legal authority is concerned,
impose conditions which are unreason-
able and onerous, both with regard to
requirements, as we'll as with respect
to license fee and taxation. The cor
poration in such cases has no remedy
in the courts, even II the conditions
are unconscionable; it can escape in
justice only by ceasing to expose itself
to the jurisdiction of laws which make
unjust requirements" He concludes
that an amendment to the constitu-
ton is necessary to secure national
supervision and control of insurance
companies" And almost paraphras-
ing Mr.. Rockefeller, he advises that
pending such an amendment" efforts
be made "to secure uniform laws for
taxation and other purposes in order
that policy holders may be- protected
against the crude and oftentimes de-
structive legislation proposed in some
Of the states"
The disorder, loss and inconvenience
resulting to corporations from the
wide differences between state laws.
the unending litigation to which these
give rise, and the inducements they
cffer to trust-baiting and blackmailing
suits. were repeatedly mentioned by
the Industrial leaders whose views on
the presidents proposal were invited,
as the strongest possible argument in
favor of federal corporation law. In
stances were given Of states creating
corporations for the purpose Of doing
business which is unlawful in the
state that confers the charter, and
even for the purpose of working In
violation Of the laws of the foreign
state in which 1t operates. A system
attic canvass Of the men who manage
the principal industrial combinations
reveal with but one exception strik-
ing unanimity Of approval of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposal. The single
exception is that of the sugar trust
which "did not care what the president
thought or did."-World's Work.

CTS, in the very hour of his splendid work the summons came to our dear Bishop, startling in it's speed.
 We cannot enter into his glory today, for we are still in our pilgrimage and walk as yet by faith, but we desire to give some expression to the sense of our deep loss. some thanks to the God and Father of us all. for the gift and the blessings of such a life
 It was but two years ago, on St. James day, that the Bishops of the adjoining States, the clergy and Laity of the Dio- cese of Ala bama, the relatives and friends and well nigh all the townspeople gath cred al St. Paurs Church, Selma. upon the happy and solemn occasion of the conservation of the Rev. MT. Barnwell to the Bishopric of Alabama. It was a glad and bright day. full of stirring and inspiring scenes. Again. on yesterday, practically the same great congregation gathered in the old church. the same Bishops clergy and laity. the same rela- tiVes and friends, the same townsmen; but, oh! how changed how saddened. The same hymns are sung. but now they are mingled with tears the same beautiful flowers are there, but now they are the palm branches of victory, of life's strug- gle ended, lifes battle won, Heavens peace begun. Through every heart there flowed the quiet sense of something lost and of one mute shadow watching all"
 My brethren. bitter and dark and heart rending as such a comparison must ever be, yet you have missed the meaning of a noble Christian life If you have not felt, even amid all the anguish and gloom of the hour of death, the ecstacy and joy and victory for the soul that in Christ has vanquished death and all it's powers.
 The old question rings out: "Oh! Death where is thy sting! Oh grave where is thy victory" and the answer comes back inn mediately. for Christ and they that are His the sting of death has gone. the grave has been robbed of it's victory"
 Christian people, in spite of all your doubts and fears and terrors; in the very face of flies temptations and trials and failures; in the presence of great worlds unbelief and hardness and misery and poverty and uselessness. Oh! yet how the truth is burned into our souls, that even this busy world can still find room for Christ. that men love to do honor to the Christ-like life.

one last chance for the soul to see and accept it's Savior, and that is in the wonderful grace and virtue declared in all Thy saints who have been the choice vessels of Thy grace and the lights of the world in their several genera tions." What greater blessedness and privilege shall ever fall to a human life? What joy so inestima6e? To have been a revelation of God to other men, a choice vessel of Christs grace, light to guide the wandering and erring feet in the midst of a darkened world
 It was the verdict of all who knew and loved our departed Bishop that he had been with Jesus
 We cannot now speak of the life that is gone, our wound is too fresh. our grief too sacred, his spirit too near us. His gracious and noble presence, his unfail- ing and scrupulous Christian courtesy and kindness, his striking self-depreciation and deep humility. his sympathetic con- alterations and unprovoked gentlest pa tience. his beautiful piety and unspotted purity his simple, deep, sincere faith, his devotion and fatihfulness to all his near est and dearest his deep conservation to the high and arduous duties as Bishop; his great work, his noble Christian char acter his brave death; these things and many LlOI6 W HIGH We hIlOW IOl ol, are all written in Gods Book of Remembrance. But today we do thank God for the won derful grace and virtue declared in the good example of this His servant who now rests from his lahors, and we pray for grace to follow his footsteps.
 So he has lived and died, leaving be- hind him to his family and to his friends and to his diocese a great imperishable legacy--this noble gentleman, this Chris tan minister, this consecrated Bishop They have laid him to rest in a quiet spot in the city which he loved. the city which now mourns the loss of this true man of God.
 He sleeps well, and so be 1t. And we who are left alone with our love and the precious memory of his life, cannot but rejoice that he has entered into his own Fathers rest.
