TALKING IN CHURCH.
EDITOR CITIZEN:

EDITOR CITIZEN:
Some time ago you allowed me
space in your columns to make men,
ton of some things had seen around
churches, in regard to men staying
out of doors during service or until
service had commenced, etc. Recent
ly M. j. r. in your paper took the
matter up and has a complaint to
make of the ladies talking during
service, and says my communication
"was intended for men only. and
must have been written by man"
Well, so it was, but / am glad to say
that at the church attend / think
the women keep silent and listen very
attentively to what the preacher tries
to tell them. At any rate / sit up
so close to the front that if any talk
ing goes Oh behind me during SER
vices | do not hear it, aud would
advise M. j. r. to get up a little
closer to the pulpit, where he
will be disturbed. 1t is true TO keep
from talking is the hardest task a
woman has to perform, / think. but
if they have no listeners they will
soon stop talking while in church.

Frederick w. Robertson is a striking
figure in the religious history of the
nineteenth century. His personality
was as great power as his words and
was the source of an attraction which
has been felt by the most diverse
minds. An eminent bishop recently
pronounced Robertson the greatest spir-
itual force of the last century in Eng
land. and Principal Fairbairn has said
that mo body OF sermons preached by
any man I'm the nineteenth century has
had the same reformative power on
the generation that Immediately sue
ceeded him as those of Robertson"
Dean Stanley has compared kim as q
preacher with Newman and Arnold
and pronounced him as superior to ell
ther. An able writer I'm the Contem-
porary Review, in extending the COM
parison, retained Newman and added
Archer Butler as alone worthy OF COM
parlson with him as the greatest Eng
lish preacher OF the century. After
fifty years his influence has not d.
minished, but has won increased rec
ignition from the most eminent schol-
ars OF Germany and France.-Profess-

HI. Theory of pro.per,ty.


One Of the more intelligent and sue
cessful Hungarians on the east side in
New York has an original theory as to
the cause Of prosperity In the United
States. II say that the prosperity Of
America is due largely to its children.
In my country parents do not allow
their boys and girls to work until they
are grown. They support them and
teach them trades. Here in the United
States the children are put to work
when they are twelve or fourteen, there
by relieving their parents and adding
largely to the comforts OF home. If
should try to carry on my business
alone, should be unable to make ends
meet. But l have the help Of my wife,
my three sons and my five daughters.
