Public Office for Private Gain

Certain conditions and tendencies
of American life have been pain
fully illustrated in the current
news Of the past few weeks. In
almost every instance, however,
there have been encouraging signs
TO show that the forces making for
good are stronger than those max
ing for evil in the body polite. In
the governmental sphere, there
have been various disclosures point
ing to the use of public Office for
private gain. There has been such
q remarkable increase in private
wealth throughout the country
that standards of living, especially
in the cities and larger towns. have
been changed very greatly. Official
salaries, meanwhile, have not been
increased to any corresponding eX-
tent. In European country like
Germany, while official salaries are
very small, it is high honor to
hold a place in the public service,
and tenure is for life, on conditions
of faithfulness, honesty, and efficl-
ency. Under those circumstances,
public posts are regarded as so de-
sirable that officeholders are con-
tent with a very simple scale Of
living, and seldom feel any tempta-
ton TO ape the manners Of the rich.
Public rather than private life may
be said to fix the standards; and a
great deal of solid comfort, as we'll
as of high thinking, goes along
with very plain and simple living.
In the United States, on the con-
trary, private life sets the pace, aud
offcialdum finds it's lot rather pre-
carious and difficult. In a few po-
sitions, the public service affords
opportunity for career practically
permanent and in most respects
satisfactory. But for the most
part, our o1ficeholders come and 60,
and are eyer uneasy and anxious.
They are strongly tempted to be
on the lookout for influential out
side connections, because they do
not not expect to find permanence
or adequate reward in the public
service. At times, this condition
of things becomes seriously detri-
mental to the efficiency, and even
to the honesty, Of the public SER
vice; and that this is true is now
abundantly illustrated in the facts
already brought to light by the
investigation of the scandals in the
administration of the post-olfice
system. From 1.-THE Progress of
the World" in the American

Suffer the little children to come

above says, Little children either
in a natural or spiritual sense haye

sound like Wesley and Root agree.
There is plenty of scripture on the
subject but the above is enough.

tell them you are selsus enumer-
ator, or a government agent, or

straight out you are Methodist
preacher sent out to organize a
Methodist church.
And when you 60 to Presby-
terrain home tell them your true
business. Tell them you want to
establish church and you have
come to see if there is any weak
place in his faith into which you
can get Methodist crow-bar and
turn him oyer into the Methodist
church. If you are sent out to do
that kind of work, do it like a man,
