in the various directions of service to which
we are called. 1t is impossible to close
to the plea which comes to us
from such countries as Mexico and Brazil,
or with even a closer claim of duty from
the Philippine Islands. But such fair and
gracious lines OF policy as our own bishop
in Manila has outlined are far more along
the line of Christian work than q crusade
which takes the form of making prose-
lytes.
And while l believe we are called upon
to present the Catholcity of this Church
in what we think its fullest form wherever
the opportunity offers, l quite sure
that some comfy of understanding ought
to be established among the Christian
churches which may avoid the presentation
to the unbelieving heather of divided and
contradictory systems of Christianity. One
great end to be sought is to convert the
heather to Christ. and not to Protestant
EpiscopalianiZe rather than to allow some
body else to Presbyterianize Malay or
Zulu.
The earnest contention for the faith
''once for all delivered to the saintsv need
not certainly contine itself to the denunci-
alton of others or the denial of errors
Polemic controversy is a dangerous weapon
in human hands. There is gaudium
certaminis which gets possession of us.
Nobody has failed to feel it. 1t carries
us away into violence and vitupera ton
into bitterness and anger, and by and by
the contest becomes personal struggle
for individual or UNCONVENTIONAL victory
Our Protestant position, rightly inter-
preted, fulflls itself far more, 1 think, as
we are witnesses for the truth than as
we are witnesses against error. Build
ing ourselves up on our most holy faith
and praying in TIE Holy Ghost, keeping
ourselves in the love OF God and looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ
unto eternal life" is st. Jude's counsel
to men, whom he exhorts to deal with
those that separate themselves, or, as the
reviserS put it, those who make separa-
tons"
So the conclusion of the whole matter
seems to me that whether we are con-
sidering the best method of preparing
ourselves to do our duty in the place
where God has set us, or whether we are
considering the possibility of promoting
deeper and more real union among those
who profess and call themselves Chris
ians, whether we are considering how
we may best help on the petition of our
constant litany, that 1T may please God
to bring into the way of truth all such
as have erred and are deceived"
whether we are striving to bring the
knowledge of Jesus Christ to those from
whom so far that knowledge has been
withheld by our nt-heartedness, our
selfishness, our separations--in all these
issues and events 1t seems to me the one
conclusion is and the one object of care.
that we should pray God to make us all
of one mind, to keep us all together in
the one place of duty and in that one

The situation has been getting worse

The Boy Who Yelled "HeIlo Teddy!

GSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Why 1t should occur to boy to vel!
at the president Hello. Teddy" when
he would never have thought of calling
out Hello, Billy to President Nc
kinley, is question which may engage
the idle speculations of those who like
to find reasons that are of no particular
value when found. Roosevelt's frown-
ing lecture to the youthful impertinent
who was not overawed by the presence
of the head of the nation may be d
warning to some of us older ones, who
have been calling him Teddy Per-
haps he doesn't like it. There is some
difference in the case. What is in the
grown citizen manifestation of at
lection, is in the boy only impudence.
Possibly the boy spoke before he
thought. and more than likely, the
president did likely in his reproof. Inn
pulsiveness is something that we all
have to struggle against, presidents as
we'll as boys. Supposed the president
had seized the boy and spanked him;
it would have been no more than he de-
served; but when one rises to the
height of chief executive of S0.O00,000,
people, there are some duties one can
afford to leave to others; scolding I'M
pudent boys by the roadside for ein-
stance. There is so much in the world
TO be reformed and improved; much in
deed, in personal behavior and manners
that needs correcting. that we may Well
resign ourselves to the fact that we
cannot perform it all. No one, as My
ron Reed said, need sit on the edge OF
his seat in the railroad car and push.
We can depend on the engineer, the
fireman, the brakeman and the rest or
the train crew to do something.
