ON THE DECLINE.

Rev. J. D. Buckley, editor OF
the Christian Advocate of New
York, said in the Methodist
Preachers Meeting the other day
that statistics will show, that
methodism is on the decline. He
speaks of the church in general.
The reverend is one of the best
posted men of his church and he
claims that correct figures will
verify his statement. He says
that he believes in looking at the
facts as they are and not taking
an over.optimistic view. BE de-
clared it was a grevious mistake
to claim anything else.

observed throughout the Uuitei

history is so we'll known to every
school boy that it il useless for
us to expand upon his life. In
nearly every school house the
lads have eulogized and paid a
beautiful and we'll deserved trib-
ute to the saviour of his country.
Lincoln entered into the arena
when. the storm was brewing
thickest. When men were excit-
cd and talking about various
rights. He stood inimitab1e a
mid the changing scenes. He re-
mained the last resting place for
heavens delight and saw beyond
these shifting clouds that the
right of human being is to be
free, He preserved the flag,
saved this republic and made her
i. . i ~ . =. Z .
what it il today A government
Of the people, BY the people aud

dying heritage to our race.

Republican congressman have
beed guarded in expressions re-
garding Roots speech. 1t was
admitted everywhere the race
question could no longer be min
imized. Heretofore each party
has sized up certain phases to Sc
cure political advantage. The
fire-eating southerners look upon
the Root speech FROM that view
point. The republicans were
more guarded and conservative.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee
said: y.
II am glad the administration
has come to recognize there il a
race question. It has never done

fers hope that the question may
be approached from a national
standpoint"
Representative Richardson, mi
nority leader, was unwilling to
discuss the speech until he had
read it carefully. John Sharp

nothing significant in it. John

thought of the country had al
ready devoted itself to the race
question, and solved it. -
