apostles. The seventy de-
ciples were given power
to do miricles and that the world
might know that "the son of
man hath power on earth to for.
give sim"
He rebuked the multitude that
followed him for the loaves and
fishes when he said, ''if any man
will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross
daily and follow me-"
That great commission" to
which Judge Ewing refers, if we
interpret our Bible correctly does
not confer power on the apostles
or diciples to perform miracles.
Neither does he tell them to heal
the sick, raise the dead, etc. 1t
was on that sublime first day of
the week when all nature Joined
in rejoicing, the day that Mary
Magdolene and that other Mary
went to the sepulcher and found
their Lord had risen, the day of
the resurrection, the day that He
came fourth conquer over death,
hell and the grave, that the Bless
ed Redeemer pronounced that
great commission, which is re-
corded in the 28th chapter, 1920
verses of Mathew, when but the
eleven deciples were present, viz:
$50 We therefore and teach all
nations, baptising them in the
name of the Father and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
| Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever | have COM
manded you; and 10 | am with
you always even unto the end of
the world"
| 1t was prior to this, prior to
his crufictiOn that he sent the
twelve apostles out not to the
Gcntiles, but to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel to preach "the
Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Heal the sick, cast out the 1epers,
raise the dead, cast out devils"
This was a special mission for
special purpose. The Jewes
were expecting the Messiah.
They were Gods favored people.
1t was not enough that Jesus
should perform these miricles in
their presence, as they were ac-
customed to the wonderful per-
formances of the Sorcerers and
magicians. More and greater
evidence at the hands of his
diciples was yet necessary to con-
vince the Jew that Jesus was the
promised Messiah. All this was
done before the death of the
Saviour. There was no longer
grounds for excuse. Those that
would not believe after seeing
the works of Jesus and his de-
ciples would not be convinced
though one rose from the dead.
They had had Moses and the
prophets. The Elias had come.
The prophises had been fulfilled.
John 11:4-5. 600 show John the
things you hear and see. The
blind receive their sight, the
lame walk, the leapers are cleans
ed, the deaf hear, the dead are
raised and the poor have the
gospel preached to them"
In Christ and his apostles these
prophsies have been fulfilled.
Why necessary to continue the
external demonstrations of power.
Had he not established his mis-
sion? Was not the evidence
sufficient to establish his divinity
and to satisfy all, except those
who would not see that the son
of man had power on earth to
forgive sin?
Why augment the evidence?

Christian Science Lecture.

| Judge william u. Ewing OIL
lChicago, lectured on Christian
Science in the Opera House of
this city Sunday afternoon. He
was favored with large audience
notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather. He is a pleas
ant speaker and said a great
many good things, that have been
accepted by the public for CEN
turtles. He claims to believe in
all the ESSENTIALS of the Christian
religion advocated by orthodox
churches, viz, the divinity of
Christ, crucifiXion, resurrection,
faith, alteration, worship, power
to heal, raise the dead, etc. He
claims that the old churches, his
being a new church, have chung
to the doctrines of their fathers
through prejudice and have not
been able to comprehend or in
terpet the teachings of Christ as
was intended. He makes much
of the great commission of Christ
to the apostles, and particular
stress upon that portion of it
wherein they were given "power
and authority over all devils, and
to cure diseases" His contention
is that power is possessed by the
"new church, " meaning Christian
Science, the same as it was by
the apostles in their day.
In substantiation of this view
he quotes Christ wherein he SAYS
to the apostles, that they shall
not only be able to do the things
that he did, referring to the mira
cles he had performed but they
should do even greater things
than he had done.
He dwelt at length on the
ignorance of "our fathers" in not
being able to grasp the truth of
the gospel and boasted of the
wisdom ofsthe present generation,
which enabled those of the Chris
tian Science to give the scriptures
a broader Interpretation than had
"our fathers" This he main
tains is the secret of their ability
to get closer to God and heal the
sick, open the eyes of the blind,
make the deaf hear, the lame
walk, the mute to speak and cast
out devils, etc.
The power to do those things
the speaker rightly acknowledged
was not in man but was in God
only. And further claimed that
the power of God was not less
now than 1900, years ago. From
that hypothesis he set up his claim
that the advocates of Christian
Science could and does heal the
sick, open the eyes of the blind,
make the deaf hear, the mute
speak, the lame walk and cast
out devils by the power of God.
We are inclined to take excep-
tions to the conclusions reached
by the speaker Notwithstanding
in doing so we place our self in
the eyes of the advocates of
Christian Science, as ignorant and
incapable of breaking away from
the contracted views and preju-
dice of "our fathers"
If we remember correctly it
was not the wise of this world
that Christ chose to convince the
world of sin and judgement to
come, but rather the weak to
confound the mighty" The
power of God in these latter days
is not less than it was in the
time of Christ. He can and does
work through the weak to-day
as well as he did then. 1t is not by
might nor power but my spirit"
that the world is convicted of sin
and turns from their evil ways.
That work is not done through
those who boast of their wisdom
or power with God, but the

CRY For VENGEANCE

A private letter written from Cape
Town by Rudyard Kipling is quoted by
the London Times, in which The jingo
poet says:
"Our only fear is the old one-that
England at the eleventh hour will de-
clare amnesty for the colonial rebels
So far as one can judge from the almost
inconceivab!e levity of Rosebery and
Campbell the Liberal party
is quite prepared to give that amnesty"
Kipling mas studied history to poor
purpose if his "only fear' for South
Africa is that British craftsmanship will
fail to "make treason odious" by whole.
sale hangings, imprisonments and con-
fiscations.. The Stuart adherents were
thus treated, and the spectre of a Jacob.
in rising haunted England for nearly ~
century. Ireland might have been rec
onciled to union with Great Britain Ion g
ago but for the awful Penal Code and
the policy Of "no amnesty" to rebels.
1t is from Lincoln and Grant, and
that wonderful page of American history
which tells how the most formidable
civil war in all history had it's wounds
healed within the lifetime of the men
who fought it, that British statesmen
may best learn how to make real and
lasting peace In South Africa.-New

Courts, bnreaucracies and presidents
may persist in denying justice to Ad-

exert no influence in stemming the tide

Protection. The other and younger was

and to claim the credit for everything.

A CENSUS INVITATION TO THINK.

A census bulletin published recently
is full ofiuvitations to think.
lttells the marvellous story of the in
crease OF American manufacturing in
dustries inthe ten years from 1890 TO
1900, and itcertifies this remarkable con-
dition oftlHngs:
That while the capital invested in
manufactures increased 81 per cent, the
cost Of materials AZ per cent, the total
value Of products 80 per cent, the mis-.
cellaneous expenses 63 per cent (Which
covers the cost of management and in,
cludes the higher salaries). the total
wages paid increased only 23 per cent,
the smallest increase shown in anv item
Of the account.
Dun's Review recently showed, by
tables covering all leading commodities,
that prices were on an average 33 per
cent higher in 1900 than in 1897, while
this census bulletin asserts that wages
in 1900 were only % per cent higher
than in 1890.
The claim of the trusts has been that
they certainly did three things:
l. Reduced cost of production.
2. Increased wages.
3. Lowered prices.
But if the census figures and the Dun's
Review tables are correct-and nobody
has yet challenged them--the first and
last of these three claims are both dis
proved by the cold facts. Aud as to the
second-increased wages-it appears
that they haye onlv increased one-third
as much as miscellaneous expenses
(Which means cost Of production), only
half as much as the capital invested OF
the cost Of materials, and only little
more than half as much as the totaI
i value of the products.-World.

In his speech at Minneapolis OF Labor
Day, Vice President Roosevelt said:
"We shall find it necessary in the future
to shackle cunning, as in the past we
have shackled force. The vast indi-
, vidual and corporate fortunes, the vast
combinations of capital which have
marked the development of our indus
trial system, create new conditions and
necessitate change from the old atti-
tude of state and nation toward prop
erty." After quoting this, The Com.
moner observes that since Mr.. Roosevelt
became president of the United State he
has done nothing to s' sshackle cunning
as in the past we have shackled force
}He has chosen for his attorney general,
upon whose activity and zeal depend
the enforcement Of the antitrust law,
man who was attorney for one of the
largest of trusts. In his message to
congress, Mr.. Roosevelt advocated the
control rather than the abolition of
trusts; and in selecting men to represent
this government at the coronation cere-
monies Of the king Of England, Mr..
Roosevelt chose the son of j. Piermont
, Morgan as one of the secretaries. Can
4 it he that Mr.. Roosevelt's views on the
trust question have undergone radica
change since he became president Of The
United States? If he now entertains the
the same views expressed at Mime.
apolis, when will he begin the work Of
.shackling cunning as we have in the
past shackled force? The American
people are interested in this question"

lMpERIALIsT RAGE IN THE SEN
ATE.

, y E u = F. y
There is nothing strange in the fact
that Republican Senators Lodge, Haw.
ley, Platt and several others became al
most incoherent with anger when, in
the course of Tuesdays Philippine de-
bate in the Senate, many plain truths
Of the situation were held before their
eyes and reasonable argument demand
ed.
Especially must Senator Lodge and
the imperialist group Of Senators have
felt royalty indignant when Senator Tel
Ter dared to introduce his amendment
to the Philippine tariff bill. This
amendment probably seemed to consli.
tute the crime of lese majeste in the
minds of the imperialist Senator's 1t
read: "Be it further enacted, that the
Constitution and all laws of The United
States, which are not locally inappli-
cable, should have the same force and
effect within the said Philippine archi-
.pelago as elsewhere within the United
States."
Surely this resolution was sufficient to
justify the anger of Lodge and hisfellow-
imperialists. Thatan American Senator
Of the present day shoutt be- bold,
enough to propose that we deal with
the Filipinos according to the American
Constitution and American laws, all ]
based on the American spirit OF justice,
liberty and regard Tor the rights of man,
is a fact Wellcalculated to excite inn
perialist passion. The American Con.
stitution, the American law and the
American spirit-shaIl they be allowed
to stand in the way of foreign conquest,
Of the suhjugation of weaker peoples,
of government by force against the con-
sent of the governed, of the wider do
minion of empire? The thought is i'm.
possible TO imperiallsts of the Lodge
type.
The arrogant outbreak of the Lodge
group of impeiialist Senators in the SEN
ate debate on the Philippine tariff bill
last Tuesday is ominous in its signif.
canee. The day has apparently c1me
when these men have not the patience
toslisfen to the old-fashioned American
doctrine which once prevailed to the
greatness and glory of our Government.
They have put this doctrine aside for
all time, they hope. They will not per-
nit it to be voiced in the American Sen.
ate if they can prevent. They will howl
down the Senator who attempts to do
this, shaking their forbidding fingers in
his face. They will not argue-they
will crush. Why not? The strong hand
is the symbol Of their creed, and their
majority in the unhappy Fifty-seventh
American Congress gives them the
strong hand Of might to crush the spirit
of liberty in the American Senate as
well as in the far.distant Philippines
