CHAs. w. ELIOT ON CHURCHES

The question whether the churches
are losing their hold on the pubic 10
one about which opinions are divided
Most observers believe that their influ'
ence is decayIng, while few, principal
ly clergymen. see many encouraging
signs around them, especially In the
generous responses to calls for con
tributions. Church attendance, how
ever Is not found TO be as popular as
II used TO be. Religious observances are
not as common as formerly People ex-
cuse their faults and sins with the re-
mark that they are not religious as
If that would give them license to do
many things they know are wrong.
President Charles w. Eliot takes the
view that there has been decay In the
influence Of the churches In the cur
rent number of the Worlds Work he
says on this subject:

The Presbyterian,

You can do but little philanthropic
work at long range. Distance annihi-
lctes magnetism. Men are hungry for
men, and the lonely are pining away
for the love that looks out of human
eyes and for the mental and spiritual
electricity that comes from the touch
OF a Christian brothers hand Thus
writes one In the Herald and Presbyter
and then relates a story OF the late
queen, which helps us to understand
why all her people loved her So 1t Is
the story of how she helped a poor
Scotch woman during one Of her visits
TO the Highlands. The poor woman's
child was stricken llfeless by a very
sad accident. The accident was talked
Of by all In the neghborhood and the
queen heard 1t, 1t melted her mother
heart and she Immediately went to the
hut OF the humble peasant Her visit
gave n new life to the mother, so that
the neighbors marveled at her calmness
and resignation. She was asked how
she accounted for her exalted state OF
mind. She replied: 1T was the queens
visit that lifted me above my sorrows"
Then she was asked what the queen
said, what she gave, what she did"
The woman answered. "The queen said
nothing: the queen gave nothing; the
queen did nothing. When she came she
was so broken down that she cried with
me as though her heart would break"
Was that doing nothing? Was that
giving nothing? Was that saying moth
ing? 1t was giving and doing and say
ing everything that could be done and
said and given.

tributed In smaller lots among several
countries.
The total consumption for Industrial
purposes is estimated at sSQ,OOO,OOO The
rest has been used for coinage
Mr.. Roberts further estimates the dis
tribution OF the new gold among the
various countries as follows: The
United States leads the list with an adj
dtlon Of s63,SOO,0OO to It's stock Of gold
In 1901; Germany comes next with s4l,-

as being the bravest man OF his day.
Tracy's champion claims Tracy was a

Northwestern Christian Advocate

Disputes OF long standing and the in
evitable bitterness which grows out Of
such unheaied differences. are often
due, not so much to the original offense
as to the difficulty Of bringing the dis
putants together The person who is
more to blame Is too proud to acknowl-
edge his error, while the aggrieved per-
son will make no move until the other
shows some sign Of penitence. And all
the while time, instead OF healing the
sore, is making II deeper. The parties
should have the noble conception OF
the value of reconciliation which is re-
corded OF Aristippus and Eschines, The
two had quarreled. Aristippus came to
his opponent and said; "Bschnes.
shall we be frlends?' YES" said the
other, with all my heart" But, re-
member" said Arlstippus, that |, be-
Ing older than you, do make the first
motion" YES" said Eschlnes, "and
therefore | conclude that you are the
worthiest man; for began the strife
and you began the peace"

The conference Of religion now In
progress In this city Is manifestation
Of a tendency, apparent In many
churches, to magnify the points of
agreement among religious denomlna-
tons, rather than to accentuate differ
ences. The conference covers the state
OF New York and Is denominations are
represented on its executive commits
tee. 1t has no creed or statement OF
principles even, but its spirit was set
forth In the speech of Rev. ]. NJ. Whit
on. who said: This conference believes
that It is not well for religious men TO
refuse TO get together until they are
dead" This Is the third annual meet
ing Of the body and II aims TO bring
together earnest men Of all creeds upon
those things for which they can all
work.

Public Onln,on.

A simple and sensible form Of Chris
tan federation seems 10 be that which
Pennsylvania layman, Benjamin G.
welch, superintendent OF the Eagles
Mere railroad, is urging with consider
able diligence. He has projected n
scheme whereby when church members
remove from one town 10 another they
may be received at any evangelical
church as "fraternal associates" All
that they need Is a letter from their
pastor saying that their Christian
standing is satisfactory, and on that
basis they are received at the COM
munlon table and become TO all intents
and purposes working members Of the
church body. The plan is considered
particularly well adapted TO the Inter-
change between churches of different
denominations.

THAT a university man should pre-
