Men of Little Public Fame Figure

London, Oct 6.-The three weeks cab

remarkable and dramatic than that Of its
inception Mr.. Balfours new ministry
affords a measure Of the enormous diff
Guilty he has had to contend with In the
task of reconstruction, and its compost
ton seems to indicate that the premier
himself can have little belief in its dura-
bility. The most sanguine supporters OF
the government express the smallest
hopes of such an administration living
many months. and the prevalent idea is
that there will be general election be-
fore parliament reassembles.
The withdrawal of the duke of Devon
shire is heavy blow. Had he remained
the government might possibly have sur
vived another parliamentary session by
avoiding legislation dealing with the fis-
cal problem. but with him goes the sup
port of the strong party of liberal union
lists.
The new cabinet is composed as fol-
lows:
MIR. Broderick. formerly secretary OF
war, succeeds Lord George Hamilton as
secretary for India.
Austen Chamberlain, postmaster gen.
eral, succeeds Mr.. Richie as chancellor
of the exchequer.
Alfred Lyttleton, recorder Of Oxford.
succeeds Joseph Chamberlain as secre-
tary for the colonies.

The Ancient LdWqiVeTS.
To What Extent Was Moses Antici-
pated by Hammurabi?

The New York Independent" has
published a complete translation Of
the code Of Hammurabi. This is a
code of Babylonian laws which was
compiled at least a thousand years be-
fore Moses. Prof. Delitzsch, whose
recent lectures at Berlin have attract
ed so much attention, regards this
code not only as far more ancient
than the laws of Moses, but as ethical
~ superior. He appears TO think
that Moses compiled his code wholly
from Babylonian sources.
There are 2S2 sections in this code
Of Hammurabi, and comparison Of
them with the law Of Moses discloses
many striking parallelisms. But this
fact does not establish Prof. De
htzsch's contention. 1t has been gen
orally believed that the law of Moses
Is largely a compilation from various
sources Of judges decisions. That Of
Hammurabi Is of similar origin; and
both of them point to the existence Of
established institutions and recognized
principles Of justice at a very early
period.
But 1t by no means follows that the
Mosaic laws ali existed in Babvlonia
before the time Of Moses. If there
are resemblance between the code of
Hammurabi and that Of Moses, there
are also striking differences. For ex-
ample. the Babylonian code has no
Sabbath, no organization Of courts,
and no laws against bribery, witch
craft, or false weights. The Mosaic
law Is full of sanitary provisions.
which are wanting IN the other code.
Ia what respects Prof Delitzsch
can hold the Babylonian code 10 be
officially superior TO that of Moses IL
Is not easy TO see. The element of
mercy tempcring justice, which is so
strong in the Mosaic code, is not found
in the other. The Mosaic law forbids
the oppression of strangers; IT for
bids usUrv. or the keeping of

American Church Growth.
Notable Increases are Recorded in the
Statistics for 1902.

DIR. II. X. Carroll, who was In
charge of the Government census of
churches In 1890. has the habit of
compiling each year a comparative
statement showing gains and losses in
the different communious.
Briefly, his figures for 1902 show
that there were in the United States
last year 720 more ministers. l.261
more churches, and 403, 743 more COM
manicantS. than there were in 1901.
This does not look exactly like re-
igious stagnation.
Large as these figures are. however.
they were exceeded I'm 1901. especially
as regards the gain in COMMITMENTS.
which was more than twice as large
in that year as IN the year lust closed.
But DIR. Carroll shows that this diff
ference was chiefly IN the Catholic
churches, and was due, not TO a real
decline in the rate of growth, but 10
certain changes in the methods of
keeping the account. which resulted in
including several years growth in
some instances in the reports for
1901.
OF the leading Protestant denomi-
nations, the Methodists lead with a
net gain of over $4,000; the Luther
ans come next, with a gain of 10000;
the Baptists, with more than $4,000;
the Presbyterians, with 10000; the
Disciples cf Christ, with $4,000; the
Protestant Episcopal Church, with
10000; the Congregationahsts with
over $4,000; the two branches of the
United Brethren. with more than
10000. The chief decreases are Of
Christians, the German Evangeliean
Protestant, and the Commmistic
churches.
The Roman Catholics lead the list,
now as in 1890, with total of nearly
nine and a half million commune
cants; but the method of computation
Is different from that which prevails
in the Protestant churches, the Catho-
lie communicates being roughly esti-
mated as s. per cent of the Catholic
population.
OF The leading Protestant denomi-
national families, the Methodists come
first, the Baptists second, the Luther
ans third, the Presbyterians fourth,
and the Episeopalians fifth. This Is
the same order as in 1890, except that
the Lutherans and Presbyterians have
changed places.
