assure you, my dear brother, that there
is no place OF which I have any knowl-
edge where pastors are esteemed more
highly in love for their works sake
than In the town of Newberry. To con-
firm that remark I say to you it is al
most an invariable rule, it is general
rule, that the pastor is long continued
in this community, and challenge
comparison for the intimacy and the
friendship prevailing among the pas
tors here. And now in the name OF
these pastors who love each other with
pure hearts fervently, and in the name
of all the congregations in this commu-
nifty bid you cordial welcome to this
town.
We esteem the Office of pa tor very
highly. We believe that it is essential
to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ in
any community. We believe that it is
an Office in3titnted not only in the wis
dom of God, but We believe that 1t was
one of the blood bought Offices which
Jesus Christ bestowed on the new tes-
lament church, and we believe that
however perfectly organized any
church may be and however we'll officer
ed that church may be, we believe that
it needs the pastor, in order to the con-
version of siuners and in order to the
education of saints. We believe that
the pastor is one of the highest officers
in the new testament church. We mag
nifv our Office. We believe that under
God it is the most responsible office.
We believe that today under God you
assume the care of these souls, the care
of the souls of all the members OF this
church. We believe, we pastors, that
the Great Shepherd Of the sheep who
lay down his life for them, that he has
placed US here as his under shepherds,
to lead these people his sheep into green
pastures and by the still waters. We
believe that he has placed it upon your
shoulders to lead these his blood bought
flock into these green pastures and be-
side the still waters We believe you
90 into their homes as no other human
being can, carrying the burden On your
shoulders of the responsibility for their
spiritual supervision and tuition and
guidance.
And now we welcome you with our
hearts into panionship with the
pastors of the town. You have tasted
the sweetness of that companionship in
your other fields of labor. AS a broth
err we welcome you into our churches.
We feel safe in saying in this sacred
place, in this day so important in your
history and in the history OF this
church, in the name of every person
present, we will soon learn to love you
with a pure heart fervently.
May God bless you in your relation

MONROE DOCTRINE
 HAS SHARP TEST,

Mexico, December 17.-In speaking of the Venezuelan emborglio. the Mexican Herald says:
 "The famous Monroe doctrine Is being subjected to a sharp test It cannot emerge from this proof quite the same as 1t was before"
 El Pais a penny Catholic daily. vigor- ously sustains Roosevelt and denounces Castro. It says of the Venezuelan ruler:
 ''The insolence and positive barbarity which characterize all the acts of that dictator, are clearly proved by his sav- age conduct in ordering the arrest of all Germans and Englishmen. Without doubt Dictator Castro placed his reliance on an odious interpretation of the Monroe doc Urine, but that doctrine has been inter- preted in an honest manner by President Roosevelt, who has declared that while the doctrine in question is a barrier to European imperialism in America, 1t can not prevent European nations from exer- cising their rights; 1t cannot be a shield to protect from reinstatement the excesses of deposts or crimes of tyrants. That doctrine does not disinherit any nation or any man of their birthright of justice, nor was 1t created to give the support of the northern colossus to the demen- tia or frenzy of agitators. For this req son, and in this respect, all educated peo- pie in Mexico must range themselves on the side of Rooseyelts interpretation.

UNITED STATES VERY
 ANXIOUS FOR STATEMENT.

Washington, December 17.-Officials here are not surprised at the feeling which has manifested Itself in Caracas of a desire to seek termination of the unfortunate situation that now confronts Venezuela Our government is anxious that some settlement may be found very soon as it Is realized that the present conditions cannot last long without a climax being reached quickly. With this end in view, the state department al- ready has given permission to Minister Bowen to be the bearer of any messages that Venezuela may wish to transmit to the allies on the subject of the present differences, the request, however, to como from the Venezuelan government He all ready has been instrumental in one capa- city, viz: That of transmitting a desire on the part of President Castro to settle the existing controversy by arbitration Whether the minister will be permitted to perform the larger function of exercis- ing full powers towards effecting termi- nation of the difficulty is not stated. h. deed, 1t would be questionable whether such an arbiter as the American minister would be acceptable to the allies, in view of the natural proolivities which he might have in favor of American countries
 So far as could be ascertained here to- night no reply has come to the state department in answer to the requests of President Castro that the pending claims be submitted to arbitration.

EXERCISING OF
 FLEET CONTINUES
TEXAS ARRIVES AT SAN JUAN AND HAS TAKEN HER PLACE IN THE AMERICAN FLEET-PRAc. TIcE WAS NEEDED.

San Juan Porto Rico, December IT, The exercising of the American fleet In squadron formation was continued today. The Texas arrived here yesterday and has taken her place in the battleship fleet.
 The maneuvers thus far have developed the fact that the vessels which have nor hitherto been connected with the north Atlantic squadron are not familiar with the present exercises. They frequently fail to maintain their positions. Admiral Dewey notes carefully all errors and is informed of the names of the officers or the deck in charge of the vessels at the time errors are committed. He transmits his views to the commanding officers for their future guidance. This has resulted in a feeling of rivalry between the ships which IS certain to be beneficial
 It is now predicted that in the evolu- tions to be conducted after Christmas the warships will show to better advantage. The present exercises test the ability of the vessels to get under way promptly and to maintain their positions whcf standing and changing formations. The Newark will have her inspection trial to- day.
 Admiral Dewey will not go on board the Dolphin during the holidays. but the Gloucester will probably convey him to the smaller points of Porto Rico when his visits to San Juan and Ponce are over. The Dolphin is to proceed for St. Kitts, where she will remain until after Christi mas.

Will Not Resist Blockade.
NO "PEACEFUL BLOCKADE"
 SAYS PREMIER BALFOUR.

London, December 17.-"If the seizure of Venezuelan gunboats does not result as we all hope. 1t will be necessary to proceed to a blockade"
 In the speech in the house of commons today, during which Premier Balfour made the above statement he conveyed the impression of possible. though as yet unnecessary further hostilities, but also that arbitration on the same basis might be accepted.
 Immediately after having spoken these words the premier said that in the event of a blockade no difference would be made between the ships of neutral pow CTS, who would not be consulted. He then ridiculed the idea of a peaceful blockade"
 When he said: 'I think 1t quite like ly that the United States government would not think there is such thing as a Pacific blockade and I personally take the same view that evidently a blockade does involve a state of war;" the house expressed its appreciation. Throughout the discussion the tenor of questions and answers showed regard for the views of the United States. MT Balfour assured the house that the paper in the Venezue- Ian matter were in course of being pre- pared as rapidly as possible, and answer ing a question by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, he said they would include the communications with reference to- Vene- zuela that had passed between his maies-

 HURRIED TO LEGATION

an interruption in the cable connecting MT. Bowen with his home government.
 It was stated at the navy department that one reason for sending the officers to Caracas was the fact that Mir. Bowen is almost overwhelmed with the work imposed upon him by his many charges. He has nearly all of the English resi- dents in Caracas domiciled in the Ameri- can legation and is feeding them from his own table As for the torpedo boat destroyer, 1t is pointed out that it will serve as a dispatch boat to keep MT. Bowen in touch with the nearest cable station to La Guayra, which can be re- lied upon to transmit messages to Wash ington in case the La Guayra cable is cut, as an incident to the blockade. No further orders than that noted above went forward to Admiral Dewey today, but Secretary Moody expects to have ready by tomorrow his order for the distribution of the vessels of the com bined fleet. Up to the present moment he has reported no settled determination as to any one ship.

station and no hostile demonstration. The city is quiet.
 Rome, December 17-The rejection by Venezuela of the Italian ultimatum was expected: consequently the announcement that this had been done created no sen- sation and no surprise.
 During the day frequent communiea- tions were exchanged between Italy and Great Britain and Germany on the ques- tion of arbitration. The friendly attitude of the United States is particularly ap- preciated here. Opinion generally favors arbitration, although II is understood Germany and Great Britain are the lead CTS in the matter, by reason of their heavier claims and their priority In the present action.
 At the weekly diplomatic reception held at the foreign office today Ambassador Meyer and Signor Prinetti had lengthy conference on Venezuelan affairs.

MINISTER BOWEN HOPES
 TO MAKE CASTRO APOLOGIZE.

Washington, December 1.-The state department has received no response thus far to the messages sent to the European foreign offices relative to the arbitration proposition It Is not known here wheth- CT President Castro will consent to apolo- gize as a condition precedent to arbitra- tion, but 1t is hoped that Minister Bowen can induce him to do so if this will be sufficient to meet the demand of the al- lies. It is pointed out here. however that the further prosecution of attacks on Venezuelan forts will make an adjust ment just that much more difficult. If apologies are rendered and accepted then the critical phase of the situation will be removed and some time may be spent in arrangement of the bases upon which the arbitration should be conducted. This will be difficult problem, for It Is antici-

 pated that the allies will base their &C., ceptances of the arbitration on an agree ment by Venezuela to instruct the arbt- trators to accept certain principles in ad- vance, which would commit Venezuela to the recognition of an indebtedness of about $15, 000,000
 Still, the state department Is hopeful that arbitration will prevail, for the al- ternative is now realized to be actual be- tween the allies and Venezuela. It is be- lieved here that Germany. at least. is not anxious to enter upon this state. A decla- ration of war would at once clothe the Venezuelans with the full rights of bel ligerency, and this might greatly protract the efforts of the allies to subdue Presi- dent Castro.
 German Ambassador Absent.
 Herr von Holleben, the German ambas- sador here, has gone to New York and Count Quadtre, the secretary and charge d'affaires, Is transacting whatever busi- ness the embassy has with the state de- partment, and Is forwarding to Berlin such matters of information touching the situation in Venezuela as are forthcom- ing from Mir.
